YEAH!! Awesome LIVE coverage of the destruction on Auraxis!!

[BizSAR]

Man, Marsman, that was incredible! Just like CNN! Hahaha!

I'm at work (on the West coast) and couldn't be in-game with the rest of you, so I tuned in to the AGN live broadcast. I must say, I am VERY impressed! I was completely glued to it. While the video was only about 33% there for me, it added to the realism of the radio interference brought about by the seismic and meteroic conditions. Especially when you were completely cut off mid-sentence as the planet began to come apart, and the feed went dead.

Some great well-thought out stuff there. I'm completely blown over by what you guys put on today!

Excellent work!!

3 CHEERS FOR AGN!!

For those who have asked about the live AGN-TV coverage, sri folks... that wasn't recorded. However, some other people have made some videos. I've taken one from the OF and the new SOE intro movie, and put them together in a streaming web page (which requires just a one time download of the activex player - firefox users can find the activex plug-in link at the bottom of the AGN Shoutcast FAQ)

Last moments on the server followed by the new SOE Intro Movie

And our own Latnev has put together this footage of the last moments of the server as well for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy folks!

Whaqt program was Latnev using to do the recording Mars? I use FRAP and my footage was pretty blurry. Plz get that info for me.

Yes it was filmed using Fraps.

Y'know if you have Getright, and you click the 'view source' command in the View menu and copy the link, you can download the playback to keep.

I actually wrote a possible explanation to what happened. Bear in mind this was written before I saw the recording AGN put up:

"The Vanu (in their unimanigable arrogance) were looking for ways to win the war, a way to use the technology of the Warpgates to break through the orbital energy-shielding that protected the other empires' Sanctuaries, so that they could wipe us all out at the source... so they built a device that would attach to all the Warpgates on the closest continent to their own Sanctuary, Oshur. These devices would link the Warpgates together, allowing them to create a corridor that could punch through a Sanctuary's energy-shield.

Since the Warpgates were designed by the Ancients to deconstruct matter and energy and then reconstitute its original form somewhere else, its awesome power would suit their desires. Unfotunately, they weren't prepared for what would happen if something went wrong, and it did.

As the meteorites that have currently been bombariding Auraxis hit the planet, the seismic distubances caused the devices to engage prematurely before they had been properly calibrated, so the surge of energy from the Warpgates swallowed the planet itself into the corridor, finally emerging on the other side of the galaxy. But... it is also had a secondary effect. When the planet re-emerged it caused an overload in the Warpgates, reconstituting the entire world into separate components, creating this new star system. At the time, all three empires on Oshur had control bases of their own which connected to an allied world, so when the devices overloaded, the energy release fractured the continent, tearing it apart...

If you compare the shapes and masses from such a burst, you realise what happened. The result of this surge reconstituted the matter into the different Battle Islands now present in the new Warpgate Network!
The only thing is now, a problem remains. Any distortion of energy that large in galaxy would be readily detectable. So one question stands:�

�Who will reach Auraxis first? The rescue fleet of the Terran Republic, assisting their comrades who were cut off when the wormhole collapsed... or the Ancients themselves, taking back what is rightfully theirs?"

While we're on the subject, though, we've only seen what happened above ground... did anyone record what happenend in the caverns? Did any alien devices pop out for this process to work or not?
