To the TOC team,
When we click on your home page http://the-open-cave.net/toc/index.php/en/
We are presented with a picture of the Er'cana Harvester with the arms down.

I have two questions about this :
1) How did you do that?
2) Will we be able to do that?

yay, after almost a year (8 months), someone asked this.

the wings, you can do with the second lever down (default: disabled)
this is an option where we only give people who ask for it.

this video shows is that this is not fake

Thank you for answering, Filtik.
I recall asking when I first saw it, but maybe I did'nt ask it right to the right person ... nevermind.

I'm not really interested in being able to do that with my harvester, after all there is only a small area the wings/arms can come down
(presumably the door where you first find the harvester or where the broken track goes, leads to fields to be harvested)
and once you've done it, it's just something you'll go "meh ... done that" ... it's a gimmick

But thank you for the offer Filtik, maybe others will want to play with it.

This, besides other reasons, was actually what inspired me to sign up for the TOC MOUL Shard ... :P

Your presentation of the TOC Shard at one of the AllGuildsMeetings inspired me initially, but then
I roamed these forums and watched your 'TOC MOUL trailer' and was absolutely amazed and excited ... :)

The awesome music alone is already capturing and uplifting, I still love to hear Thomas Bergersen's
'Merchant Prince' which I've downloaded from YouTube, but I prefer your mixture with 'Heart of Courage-
Two Steps from Hell' ... Mystler is very creative with music, I remember this from back then on Itep's
forums or did someone else create the remix? ... 8-)

The trailer itself is also very awesome in portraying wonderfully the magic of the TOC Shard with its
beautiful avatars, esp. the dragons and the Bahro, which I love, and the whole City of Dimensions with
its awesome environments and enhancements, the boats, the Pub etc. etc. and then while watching this
along with the uplifting music you suddenly see this harvester spreading its immense wings ... Wow!!! ...
It feels like breaking free and leaving all limitations and everything behind, something like that ...
I remembered the situation when I freed the Bahro and 'he' lovely smiling, raising from its bend posture,
spreading its wings and soar ... :P

Of course, I immediately went to see if that really works, but then when I didn't find anything related here
on these forums, I thought this might have been a special admin function activated for this promotional
video only and that's why I never asked for this ...

Yeah, however, many thanks to the whole TOC Team for the awesomeness and all you're doing here ...
And, ok, if anybody would ask me, what you actually did with your offer, Filtik, I'd say, yeah, I'd like
to have my wings ... :D

Filtik, can I send you an invite to my Er'cana and have you turn the wings on whenever you can come online again?
