Easter Egg or Future Horror?
« on: December 30, 2010, 09:21:07 AM »
I ask, is this an Easter Egg or a glimpse of a horrifying future?

On the topic of easter eggs, what is Ivory Towers?
I've never heard of it before, but it's in the map list on the loading screen ???

Was it planned, but not completed in time, and somebody forgot to switch the background pic, or did I miss it somehow?

The Ivory Towers map is an old unreleased map and is semi-planned to be redone by Sannyasi at some stage(time permitting). There were no issues with it not being completed in time or anything like that, the addition of the name to the loading screen was done simply due to the fact that the indicators looked too empty without an extra name there, and Ivory Towers is a cool sounding name lol !
