What's your strategy to finding devs on PL and SL?
I've never actually gone looking for them, they always appear in my towns.
Are devs the characters in Nuri Hallows that move around without a name? :beguiled:
No the people who come in Townes with red names and give you stuff.

edit: ninja'd... I'm really trippin'. Twice in two days. 6 times total.
Normally i look for games that have a capped player and are quickly filling up (multiple refreshes) normally that gurantees i find them at least once.
I also have my guildies fan out in all directions to boost our chances, when one of us finds a dev they sound the call and we pounce!
Haha lol I've never seen one in SL yet
Aw,thought those were devs who moved around. Never saw a dev then i think :(
are they still digging the lv57/62 thing?
I only look for them during events, but i have ny guildees and my fl looking for them for me also so i have a high chance of encountering one. Then ir just comes down to trying to join the base in which they are in. lol which takes me awhile
Guild chat is my friend! Only found two though and it was during the steve jobs thing so they weren't handing anything out just explaining apples
I check my friendslist if it's devs, if it's something like Droid_griller i'm looking for, I do what Lowly does.
ALS is only 61, Sam is 62, I forget about G(sorry!), and I haven't seen the others yet.Quote:

i wonder what the devs play more SL or PL? i wonder who's more active in SL and who's more active in PL lol
I think Sam is more on PL and Anthony is more on SL.
Here you go, a shot of a Dev (Flip!) caught in the wild. :) My apologies for the crappy photo--I was too stunned by the sighting to take the mini-map off. :D

question how do you make it so you see the picture in the message? only through computer?
You'll need to put the photo on a hosting service like Photobucket.Quote:

3. Then, wherever you want it in your message, hit the button that looks like a picture of a tree in a frame (3rd button from the right side).
4. In the pop-up box, click on the tab that says, "From URL".
5. Paste the direct link in the box and uncheck "Retrieve remote file...."
6. Hit OK.
Or...when you get to where you want the photo, type in "[IMG]link to photo goes here[/IMG]" without the quote marks.
ETA: I did this one on my Mac, but I can do it on my iPad using Photobucket's App. I'd think that'd work for any of the other devices. **Looks frantically for an Android expert** Where's Bod? He knows all things photo-y on a Droid....
Using the android app, when replying to a post, tap the far left button. You'll be able to upload your picture directly from there.

An easy way to detect devs:
Do a manual search for town lobbies that are maxed/full and keep trying to join over and over. Most likely they have a dev there :)
Spot on! Exactly same process and what Otukura said with the direct photo browser from device/PC etc can be used on a PC also just tap the same icon of the tree this will bring up a pop up left menu URL and right direct upload from device.Quote:

On Topic - I ask buddies and guildies to give me a heads up when they join an instance :D
If not then on PL I used to do the full instance trick or search by level cap. Though on SL this wouldn't work due to the fact droid-griller and co have beenlevel 1, 2, 5 and 31 lol
that made me LOLQuote:

Is it true that only apple devices do not have the "join" button for people in town?Quote:
