Fun fact - This is actually an errant gadget (a type of content object that is used to place mechanics in the world). Whenever designers place a new gadget, it automatically gets assigned this "turkey raptor" by default, because it was an obvious signifier to the team that it's placeholder art and needs to be reviewed. It was also not uncommon practice to hide some content objects in the air, since at launch players couldn't have ever gotten this high. I'm sure skyscales will turn up all SORTS of hidden designer tricks. :-P

orly?

Haha either way I love these raptors they're hilarious.

Haha, of COURSE someone figured out a way to get up that high! I will actually miss how ingenious our community was at finding ways to break out of the constraints placed on them.

Aww, thanks. I still lurk here pretty reliably. Things are going great, actually - I had a very nice "summer off", something I haven't experienced since high school, so I am refreshed and ready to go and will hopefully have something lined up soon!
