Sarapis, the Logos

Sarapis

Portrait of yours truly.

Lianca

I am a fan!

Xenomorph

Hey, I can see Mhaldor from here.

Sarapis

Yep, the landmasses should be fairly accurate.

Mayapple

This is right after he drops the football, moments before he kicks it as far away from himself as he can get it.

Achilles

Wait the world's not flat?  Mind. Blown.

Sylvance

@Sarapis - Doesn't look very godlike.

Sarapis

Of course the world's not flat, that's ridiculous. You must live in some kind of fantasy world.

Anaidiana

so....I can has new places to sail to, now? >.>

Iocun

Man, if Sapience/Meropis are so small compared to the whole planet, you guys still have lots of building to do!

Sarapis

Would be nice, but most of it will never get built. Building lots of new areas isn't a huge focus for us because the world is already vast and spreading out the player population more is not really desirable. 

Having said that, certain areas of the rest of the world will get built, and they will be cool!

Iocun

Just don't make those areas accessible to everyone. Put some continents up for grabs in the next auction!

Sarapis

*stares at you implacably*

Don't do this to me.

I've invented the Achaean railroad, just to ride this HYPE TRAIN.

Naisar

Problem: Players want new areas, but increasing the size of the game world leads to less interaction because the population gets spread too thin.

Solution: Blow up old places, make new ones.

Sarapis

Well, yes. See Shallam.

Low blow. 

So...where's my house?

Shunsui

Somewhere between the Peshwar Delta and Zanzibaar by now I imagine.

Anaidiana

meh 

Achimrst

This makes me sad I will never go to the obscure continent on the other side of the world I can't see. ;-;

Berenene

Such a great picture.  I have to ask though, considering some of the other pictures, was it tempting to have this one go shirtless to showoff Sarapis' godlike abs?

Iocun

It would melt the forums.

:x :x :x

Hayte

Moments later...


It was Sith all along!

Kenway

I used to check the link in the announce posts to see these. Now I come here so I can see not only the picture, but the inevitable and often amusing path from speculation and opinion, to Kyrra's (EDIT: I swear I put one of those creepy heart smilies here)

That said, while my first thought was OHLOOKLANDMASSES, I stand firmly with Kyrra in saying mm-mm-mmmm... cut me a slice of that Sarapie...

Nim

I am completely disappointed. First of all, he's not completely naked at all, and second of all, I don't see any of the expected machine code flowing out of his robes.

just kidding, it's awesome, although I do hope a picture of him in his tourist garb shows up at some point. I swear he had tourist garb sometime during the Bal'met event.

Berenene

For a split second when I first saw the pic I was like "Wait a minute, Sapience isn't ringed" and an instant later I gave myself a mental Dope Slap to correct myself.

Kyrra

Lust smilies aside, it's a stunning piece of art. It's how I would have envisioned The Logos as a supreme being and Creator.

Actually, although I do occasionally put on costumes, my imagination does not extend to my wardrobe generally. I take a Jobs-ian approach to dressing. Here's a picture of me enjoying the outdoors on my deck last summer, for instance.
