maybe it could be coded in such a way that familiars can put and take items directly from safes/chests? it would be much help and it would bring a lot of convience to shapeshifters(for form that can't carry items)/necromancers(for familiars that help the player carry items that he himself can't carry, or has to space to carry the item).
my thoughts anyways, or has this idea been done and rejected before?

We have this tuner, which works rather well, to make the mobs we
kill lots worth less exp.
This topic in itsself has been discussed to death.
For the recored I think its a great idea.
I mean, if you do the same action 100 times, you have stopped
'learning' from the expierence.
It becomes so much easier for you to do.
oops
Odd, the monsters that are killed a lot by us, are still as hard to kill.
You would think, that after fighting a troll so many times, I leaern
hardly anything from it, I would have thier combat styles down.
I would know the fiegnts they fall for
I would know how they try to block, and the kinds of attacks they use.
Of course I would learn less, it was an easier fight.
What am I getting at?
You score a CRITICAL hit!
Your knowledge of Trolls fighting style gives you an advantage!
[100] (50000000%) You pee on Troll.
Of course those numbers are just blahblah
maybe it could be a part of the player object.
it should reset in the manner the tuner does
if I haven't fought trolls for a month, I am just not going to be as
good at it

Logical, and beneficial, but the tuner's for balancing I think and not for logics. Putting that in there will allow one to kill mobs faster so it's like a counter to tuning... therefore making tuning pretty useless...
besides, tuners count the number of times a mob is killed, not how many times it is killed by you...

makes sense
04:45:50 Myrddin [foo2]: the point of the tuner is not logical
though, it is just to force us to kill other mobs
04:46:05 Myrddin [foo2]: it just coincidence that a logical reason also works
and getting a super special hit in every now and again wouldn't
cancel out the tuner

as a followup to:

I am not suggesting we alter the tuner at all
i think this would be ancie compliment
a counter on the persons body (or some more code efficient way) that
notes how many times in time period X i have killed this mob
the higher that number, the higher the chance of getting the special hit
could add a check in, when a hit crits, to see if its a megasuper omg wtf crit
or something

Gonna have to be pretty rare for it to be reasonable, else if you kill a mob that has exp reduced faster it's the same as killing it slower but each gives more exp...
Tuner's reasonable in that it forces you to kill other mobs because what would all the area's points be everyone all cycle one place time after time after time?
Everyone would just keep killing the same mobs and there would be very little progression. Having mobs tuned forces players to go in search of new areas to kill.

the
mobs
would
still
get
tuned
just
the
same
the frequency would be up to the admins. i think makeing a check for
it in a ciritcal would minimilize it pretty well
again
the tuner, would in no way change at all in regards to this idea
not one bit
the tuner would still work
you would kill the mobs maybe 1-3% faster
IF you killed them frequently enough
and thier xp value would go down
if 1-3% faster balances out the %downtune of a mob
then make it less than 1-3%

i actually like this idea A LOT korth, but the one thing i didn't
notice mentioned is that wouldn't the mobs also start to become more
resistant to you? wouldn't they happen to notice your fighting
style?
say, for instance, they take a lot of phys damage during the day as
they're slaughtered over and over, shouldn't they become more used
to having to deal with phys hits? i suppose this would have to work
with skills and spells only though or else figs would get totally
screwed over by this proposal.
but if you were to implement such moves, the mobs should also gain
some sort of a bonus along those lines as well(if there isn't one
already)

This reminds me.... If the mob you killed is dead, wouldn't it make
sense that the repoped mob is another mob, with the same desc etc?
Then viewing it from another angle, things like Lloth (for example)
would exist after you killed it, and it would be the same Lloth
(unless there's lots of Lloth in the game)....
Another thing to comment is that both the player and mob learn from
each other when they fight, so the result is that the fight is
equally tough the next time (or maybe the difference in strength is
smaller because the weaker learns more from the stronger party)

The only complaint I have with the tuner is yes it forces you to
look for other areas to kill. However I see no point in the
following situation:
Player A camps xp spot 1, Player B who has never killed in spot 1
gets the crap tune that player A put on it. Ok so player B goes to
spot 2. But wait a minute Player C has been camping spot 2 and its
also a crappy tune. Player B gets shafted because while they are
exploring new areas for them they are not new areas to others and
they are still getting hit with the tuner even though they have
never killed in these areas. I have gone to new areas my self and
found tunes to be in place It makes for finding new areas irritating
and instead its easier to just take the tune for the places your
used to.

heh, well, as they have said umpteen times, the tuner is NOT there
to make you move, it is there to try to balance the difficulty of
the mob with the exp reward. which it does, albeit, imo, it is a bit
on the easy side getting exps, but anyway. Move or not, your choice,
but the tuner is in no way designed with your perambulations or lack
thereof in mind

Well its a fine idea except:
To track this kind of information on each body is ridiculous
And if we give it to the players naturally the monsters should
learn from fighting you... So how about the monsters can hit
super mega-death crits on you or your guild?

More plausibly, they would learn weak points. For example, they
would hit mist mages in mist form with spells of any type other
than phys, even if the rated damage was much less than their
phys-type skills.
Then you'd have to code something up for learning ability for mobs.
Obviously, canny gnome engineer will learn much more quickly and
effectively than a horse, for example.
I don't think the current tuner is optimal, but it works
if you don't try to make it logically correct and it's
much less fuss than alternative methods.

I don't know exactly how it is handled, but I have seen similar
things on a handful of other muds
These muds don't have the hardware or coding expierence/expertise
that this mud does.
Maybe it resets at boot, or every week, or something like that.
I would be fine with mobs having the same learning ability, though
as I mentioned in a players are whiny bitches sort of way, it isn't
nessicerily the same mob each time, unless someone is ressing the
mobs :p

Hrm, just something I thought of . . .
It makes sense to me that players fighting the same monsters over
and over again would learn the monsters weak points. It just makes
sense . . .
What doesn't make sense to me, is how the monsters are learning our
weak points. Why? Because we are slaughtering them. They are unable
to learn our weak points, because we keep killing them!

Don't forget the opposite is true as well. If you fight trolls over and

Can't kill things if unable to heal. This event functionally removes
all prots and heals (including regen) from one guild. Since the

my solution, lack of healing and protting is basically a non-issue.

The solution would require necros to join a party that can 1-run
Ozymandias, hope that some other party kills Ozymandias, or not use
pets at all (which is like requiring woodsman not to use woodsman
weapons). It's just not likely to be a viable option. But this issue
has been somewhat addressed on the guild side.

Hi it's Kelyr ^^
I was wondering if we could have a character name purge. I'm not
sure if we are due for one or not. But theres a name I'd really like
to get my hands on, by a player that appears to have abandoned the
game.
Anyways, I'd be very thankful if we could purge, and I'm sure it'll
free up some extra space.
Thank ya

We purge players from time to time. But we don't delete players above
some minimum worth. So you will never be able to take the name Jant,
no matter how long he stays away for.
IMHO it is best this way so you don't get "old X" and "new X". Besides
use your imagination and come up with an original name.

I think this spell could be useful, just needs a couple things.
First, Wildchild brought up an interesting fact that coders could
put in boulders or other miscellaneus objects in to rooms that will
work with this spell. Second, I think that since it is in the
psychics tree, when you levitate a cauldron potion at a mob, it
should explode, doing extra dmg. It's an interesting spell that is
seldom used, and I think with a couple changes it could be very
fun.

I notice when you get disarmed and try to wield it say your hand
hurts. But when you are able to wield you don't get a message
saying you can so you jsut randomly type wield blah, is there a way
we can get a message? something along the lines of "You hand no

This has been proposed before. The main reason it doesn't exist is
because it prevents people from just making a trigger to do it,
makes disarm a little more irksome.

And many other people don't use it for various reasons too. If you
want it on when you login, add it to your login trigger.

the messages u get when u log in from a day's offline is the same as if you just got disconnected, you'll then just turn autoloot off instead...

Oh, amazing. shifters aren't dealing with elements, therefore

because form message has nothing to do with elements, the only part I'm referring to is the message, I'm not comparing the entire guilds against each other.

I believe that Daneel coded shapeshifter forms without drop warning
messages for a reason. Everything else about the guild appears
complete and well coded. I assume that, if he had wanted form drop
warning messages, they would be there. It's about the only element
of risk involved with playing ss, so if you don't like it, reinc.
Once you do that, please delete this spam thread, we've already
talked about all of this on channels, and there's no need to
reiterate it any more through news posts.

This is an idea thread, and I suggested an idea. You have already expressed your opinions concerning my suggestion, time upon time, and have taken it a lot further than I ever intended. Please leave it at that because all I asked for is a message, if it is not implemented, then it will not be. This is a suggestion, not a demand. neither of us have the power to force Daneel to do anything, so please leave this alone and do not take it personally upon me. Thx.

personally upon me. Thx.
nethers sometimes have the form drop without warning, and I am a
shifter and I think form dropping without warning always is a ok, if
thats what daneel wanted, thats ok with me, just means I need to be
more alert when the time shifted goes over a certain amount

Actualy it would make sense soulleech, learn more about shifters.
Help skill dragon breath:
Perhaps the scariest, and most difficult, branch of study in the
lore of dragons is that of their breath - how it works, how it's
used, how to use it without hurting oneself. All these are made no
easier by the pure elemental energy surrounding the student at the
time of study.

alot of people do not use autoloot, so they would argue, plz make
autoloot default off, you can append a simple line to your logon
script however "autoloot on"
if you don't have a logon script, a simple welcome to islands of
myth -> autoloot on trigger will work

set a trig for form going down in mist and lava form as it is only like one line. but as for shifter you should be able to see the mass number or stats that fluxuate when you lose your form

maybe because he doesn't like the idee of dying cus form drops all
of a sudden? its just my wild guess offcourse, and you that are so
brilliant might know some other reasons that would fit very well and
therefor asking, but I would asume it is the annoyment of dying when
form drops, and therfor want a message telling when the form is
about to drop so he can stay out of combat, also i would asume he
used nethermage as example of a guild that have a down message..
this is offcourse also only a guess... but if it is so i think he
made some right thoughts about it.

This has probably been mentioned before but I couldn't find it
anywhere. Would be cool if there we Paladin and Blackguard cleric
betas. Seems like a cool new twist. Of course i think that some of
the existing harmer and weaver gammas/bravos should be incorporated
into the gammas/bravos of paladin and blackguard. Like... paladin
could also join either confessor or healer, blackguard could join
magical torturer, simular to animist. Just an idea, hope someday it

While I don't see the need to set autoloot as default on or off, I

status over a logout/reboot.
I also wonder what ever happened to the possibility of getting

This is kind of minor, but it seems to me that party ratings could be

for the party (a high noob's rate) is a little out of date.
Also, perhaps the party rating could take into account either the number
of members of the party, or the combined number of levels or xp worth
of the members in that party when calculating rate.

Something that also should be niticed, is the fact that dracons,
according to dragonlance novels, are quite dumb compared to their
unaltered cousins. They are much smaller, and their abilities seem
far more fighterish than casterish.
Anyway, if we're going to put in a new race or two, would it not be
more fun to have original races? about 80% of d&d style muds these
days have dracons, and part of what makes this mud fun, at least for
me, is the distinction between this mud and the rest of the herd, as
it were.

I think it would be a difficult job to get a new race that was

Now's a bad time, too, as the admins are snowed under with

Just to point out, there are ways to do this that aren't so
dangerous. You could, for example, run a small root-owned process
that simply mirrors port 3000 on port 23. A simple process like
that would be relatively easy to secure, especially if all the
parameters were hard-coded in. That said, there may be other
security issues to running a mud on port 23 that aren't so obvious...

It is also a generally bad idea to run your service over a another services
standard port.

Though I do agree with everything the admins have to say on this,
and see no reason to put the mud on port 23 (if your network admins
blocked off non standard ports then you are prolly somewhere you
shouldn't be mudding), I wanted to add that this can be done (imho)
pretty securly via ssh port forwarding.
ssh -f root@localhost -L 23:localhost:3000
Then theres a little ssh tunnel forwarding port 23 to 3000

it's also pretty obious that we have plently of people that gladly
connect to port 3k, why should we open another just for 1 persons
silly request? no reason even given to why he wants port 23 open...
probably so he can haxor the mud and nuke baer. BAD T

subject: just a thought
date: Wed Oct 13 14:43:38 2004
how about upping the maximum number able to join one clan, as it is
it's 15 people, right?
well compairing the cost of a clan (200k gold to join, hmm 400k to
start?) it's really much cheaper for everyone especially the creator
to just create a private channel and saving it (170k?) and you can
invite/disinivte or whatever to however many people you want and
whenever you want.
i think that maybe upping the maximum persons to a clan just a tad,
and lowering the cost to joining/start significantly cheaper (maybe
100k to join, 200k to start) it could make clans a -little- more
appealing.
also to compare, disreguarding friendships and such, there's nothing
effective to your character by joining a clan, other than: you get a
tattoo; a clan title; and a clan has it's own account
so when comparing the two is, 15 people maximum, a shared bank
account, and some tattoo worth all the cost of joining and creating
a clan?
or we can just disreguard this and up the cost to saving a private
channel to 500k gold eheh or do nothing at all to either
not whining, it's just my opinion that a clan could be more worthwhile

These observations are all pretty true, but they are also not
particularly new.
I think it's been acknowledged for some time now that clans are little more
than the components you mentioned. There is some possibility that some day
they will turn into more... (I'm speaking for the wizzes, ROFL I"M
LIEK DRACO LALALA)
but until then why mess w/ the formula? Personally, I think the
things you mentioned:
bank account, tattoo, etc. are pretty neat and worth paying extra for.
Are they 'effective'? maybe not, but i'd pay 5 meg for my moose
brackets back...
some costs are just associated w/ role-playing and fun, not
increasing party share.

Would it be that hard to have some one say go through sunnydale and
change it into a peasant type village with knights instead of
soldiers, and vamps could still exist, and maybe the schools become
magic schools. buffy could still be a vampire slayer, and others
could still have roles like willow is a witch, anya is a demon,
glory is a demon ect. Then move the area to another island and do
the same with the rest of the areas? Maybe find some builders
willing to devote time to making all the areas become in theme.
Places like wildchilds area with the clay statues seems more than in
theme to me.

it is a great idea but only lately have I had builders actually
fix an old area. There were a couple done years ago but to be honest
lately not much has come off the builder port.
The other issue is that the wizard in question does not
want her items changed and I can understand that. She worked
hard on the area.

understandable
and players could see this as a way to get the prices down on this
eq, cause sooner or later its gonna break anyway. so its not that
expensive anymore then
imo thats what should become of this
thou, the bad thing might be that the players doesnt kill the mobs
anymore, and that would be sad :(

Yes it would. Do you want to re-desc the whole area? Descing is by
far the most tedious part of area creation. I sure as hell don't
wanna do it, especially since I think the creator of the area wouldn't
be too happy about it.

Ehh, angels grow wings, and demons grow horns. plz dont make dwarves
grow horns if they slay a child or add penises to the faeries, would
be too 'oddworldish'.

As some may or may not know or care or care not i got bored with harmer and in an attempt to respark my wanting to play this game i reinced cauldron yesterday. More to the point the last time i tried it I was only worth 40m and now I am worth about 320m. Due to logic i thought that since i sucked at it I would do much better this time considering the xp increase. But i was wrong. May I PLEEEEEAAASSSE make the suggestion that there be some sort of mastery skill created in the cauldron guild or something to affect the ammount of throwbacks on potions. In my latest run I had 12 out of 15 potions tossed back at me from at 150kish monster "depending on tune of course" now i can see the need for throwbacks to kinda of level off cauldron but that seems a little much. Its not like im trying to kill a 1m or even a 300 or 400kish monsie. Anywhoo to sum this up can a mastery be created or just the functioning of throwbacks themselves to help limit the amount of throwbacks to a more reasonable amount.
Thanks tons.....Holyman

date: Sat Nov 13 15:36:59 2004
1) since we can raise and lower our floating discs, could we also use it to scoop things up from the ground with it? :) so we don't have to solidify after a few kills/every kill.
2) as Flick suggested, probably race lead items can be coded in such a way that allows mist mages to wear them. After all, they are referred to as ‘magical item’ when you solidify (in the case where you have the race lead and went into mist form and solidified and got the race lead item back).

Since we have this, and it keeps us pretty safe castle wise (it's

to have more of a message than the:
You can no longer enter a castle that you are not supposed to be in.
Since we lost guards as guards, mayeb we can assume that guards come
with the castle, slint hires some dwarves, and it says something
like 'The dwarven guard blocks your way.' or some such, non
attackable, not in room, maybe as a lookable island. or have him
build the castles with built in 'magical guardians' that just
prevent you

Make some shopguy engrave your eq with your name on it for perhaps 50k / piece.

some in-theme theft-protection. People will know if someone stole eqs but it wont

It seems to me that Ixtlilton has already modified the guild
a long way from his original design and removed/lowered
a lot of the risks he had in mind for the guild.
Why don't we just put you guys in a room and allow you to
bring the monsters to you to be 100% safe.
If the guild is to risky for you reinc.

This already exists. If a player creates a channel and leave it
public, they can banish people that they want. The syntax is:
[channelname] ban [who] [reason]

the command hits
shows records
when a new record is made/old one broken, a mudwide msg is given to
inform people of this
this msg is nonbold, white, and rather hard to notice, so make
people able to change the colour of it
or set it to a bright colour, either way, also make people able to
block it, or add to muffs

If your gonna post a follow up, understand what the actual point of
the orignal post was before responding with something that doesn't
have anything to do with the idea. Not everyone has time to even
play this time of year some of us are working extra shifts so the
fact we get something that is gone soon as we log out is moot. I
really like tahnval's idea i had thought of the same thing my self.
Welcome to ideas if you dont have a positive response keep it to
yourself please. People just might remember next time you post an
idea.

I think it would be neat if one could arrange the spells/skills
there either alphabetically or from frequenzy of use, if in addition
it could be arranged per body for those with multiples (might be

Would be good if non-existing TP-saccable EQ can be in a way back
into the game for TP-saccing (that means no stats/bonuses/specials
in the EQ). When I started playing there's already a whole bunch of
them that are removed from the game and now i can't get the 'TP'
even I have the gold. Could get it back in a very special and rare
way, like extremely rare random drops or extrememly rare santa
present, or other creative ways such as using several any broken EQ
It's just a thought, wish, idea though.

or, instead of dropping statless eq, normal eq and pooleq with
stats, ie usable stuff, could drop, and if you want tps, you can go
sac that
when you run out of items in the game to sac, I guess you can either
beg them to add in a bunch of tpsac only items (yeah right) or...
you can ask to get a builder, and make a good area with perhaps some
small eqmob in too (not one with 123412341231 super new topslot

It will probably take a boot for your eq to get the more detailed
decay line in its description.
look like we have to check desc? If so it would be hectics looking through so many pieces of eq to see each eq's condition... dunno, still like the old number system better than word coding...

Doesn't seem like a very big deal to me. For the most part, use
checkeq. If you have items that are getting low, go repair them.
Then checkeq again. If they're still low, go pyro them. That
doesn't require looking at any descs at all.
Though I agree that I didn't see anything wrong with the old system myself...

Send us thousands of dollars, of course! I'll take mine

How many tps-worth of EQ has been removed, anyway? Is it
a significant amount in comparison with the total number of tps
from all relevant eq available now?

While eq repair is being revamped, I would like to propose a humble
change. As far as I know, with regard to pyroing Gugnar will require
enough pyroclasts to take the piece to 100%. The problem with this
is, if you wait to repair to bearly beyond the threshold of what one
pyroclast can do, he will require two. It would be really nice if he
would only repair as much as you give him. I.E. if a piece is at 80%
max condition and a pyroclast can only repair 15%, it will repair
the piece to 95% instead of requiring a second pyroclast for the
final 5%. That, or it would be nice if there were different size
pryoclasts so you could give him "change" so less goes to waste. Of
course, if this would be implemented it would be somewhat necessary
for smaller monsters to drop the smaller pyroclasts etc.

heh, I actually liked the idea about not needing to repair it to max
the best, because I have had items drop 0.1% lower then where I last
pyroed them with 1, and be told I needed 2, which was a bit
annoying, of course, this place isnt meant to be a soft cushion
where nothing can ever go less then perfect, so I'm sure we'll
survive if they dont change it too (but please change it,
plzplzplz!)
and highpriest, with your idea, they should actually give extra TPs
to some of the older players, since the max TP before was 5tp, then
they changed it to 10, so some items older players sacced at 5, is
now 10, and anyway, at any given time, more TPs have been added to
the game, then has been removed anywya, so I dont really see a need
for TP only items popping up all over tarnation (though, if someone
could hunt down friski and manage to convince her to reopen one of
the best areas on the mud, feel free to do so)

the whole paying tps to older players is not a good idea. If you
think about it its not done anywhere
your parent made shit back in the day
when inflation went up they just got paid more. they dint get compensated
for past years workd. so why should you get free tps that you got as
a bonus anyways
tps is a bonus for doint the work of earning it or buying it..
so i think the whole older players get free tps is way unfair

The way I see it, ultimately what's being asked for is that things
be adjusted in such a way that everybody will have had the chance to
earn the same number of tps. There is simply no way to do this that
is both feasible and fair, and if it's not fair then we're likely to
just end up with even more people whining after the change than
before it.
That said, we do have a process for injecting new TPs into the mud:
building new areas, with new rooms and new eq. It doesn't achieve
the goal stated above, but I think it reasonably approximates it.
So if you want new TPs being added to the game, you have two
options:
1) become a builder and start building stuff
2) pick an existing builder, and get on their arse to actually log
onto 10k and build stuff once in a while
Well, that's my 5 cents (because pennies should be abolished)

I like the idea of theme, and I like the idea of consistancy even
more. If something is going to be enforced, I feel it should be
enforced all the way.
I understand that to monitor every new name by hand is asking a LOT
of the admin team.
They have more pressing things to code/deal with.
I propose that upon character creation the name is matched against a
minor list, consisting of things like vilgarities, bodily fluids,
well known fantasy names etc.
If there is a conflict found, a mudmail could be sent to a player
rep/newbie guide/admin/wizling, and at thier lesure they can decide
to veto the name if it is found to be unacceptable.
Guidelines would have to be set, but the folks in those positions
have already shown some sense of waht is and is not aceptable in
this game.
If no conflict is found, the new player is made to wait a few
minutes, 3-5 maybe, while something is broadcast on the 'monitor' or
some other channel. If no wizards/rep/whatever are available to
approve the name within this time, it is allowed and a mail or
notification sent to the proper people. Maybe allow them to play,
wait 30 mins more for someone to unidle and then have the
notification sent, just to avoid excessive crap.
I feel that this would for one, prevent a lot of out of theme names,
and discourage people from making bs secondaries for
arrasing/ripping people off.
Input?

The general problem is it isn't trivial to change a character name for a lot

I for one would have a strong objection to any sort of waiting
period for new players whatsoever. Something like that is just an
invitation for the new player, whose name is usually perfectly
acceptable anyway, to log off and go create a character on some
other mud where they won't have to deal with that.

and as Magneto pointed out, it is a moot point anyway, too much hassle to change a lot of code which apparently doesnt take kindly to renaming.

I think that would suck.
The main point of a unique item is that it is unique. I bought a not
so rocking one an indecent price just to be wearer of a unique item
in this place where most ppls wear all the same topslot stuff.
Uniqueness rocks.

I think he means that two players have their skills and spells
switched. Sure, this seems great for newbies, but I know a fair few
highbies that would be severely pissed off at suddenly having
terrible skills and spells.

ok, my idea for the new event is kindof like Feast of fools event already
so mabey just modify and tweak Feast of fools event to give newbie skills to a Highbie and hibie to newbie. I would like the spell/skill switch to be random so a highbie might end up with another highbies spell/skills, newbie with newbie skills/spells.
And yes there would be a few pissed people. but hey what does feast of fools do? im sure that pisses of a selected few also

Archery seem to me to be more along the lines of the woodsman class.
Maybe make a new beta guild with archery skills?

A wiz can correct me if I'm wrong on this... but at one point,
archery was planned with changes that were being made to parties.
The changes to parties was the 'rows' idea, which would allow for a
more accurate representation of range between a player and monsters.
For whatever reason, this didn't happen in the end.
Whether archery fits into things now, regardless, is up to the
wizzes and a wiz that would want to code guilds for it I suppose.

And thus they think their minds are superior and doesn't learn as well as others. Personally I think that people already getting 200k+/min rate as dragonlord DOES NOT need an uptune by adding a race made to fit SS right up the sleeve.

Who said its an uptune? Who said it has to be perfectly suited for

wow, the wizards only told you to do that days ago if you wanted to
avoid flames, and you are smart enough to do that allready, wow,
nevyn has nothing on you.
and yes, if something is better suited for it, then by definition,
it will be an uptune, which they dont need, since there are several
races eminently suited for SS as is, if you cant find them, that
does not mean they are not there, nevyn managed to find one just

I am not sure if someone made mention of this, but combat is just
too screwed up to mess with adding in the functionality of bows and
arrows and the whole concept of ranged combat. Would require a
whole rewrite of combat iirc what zifnab said. Either way, aint
happening unless a wiz gets really bored and has a few weeks of
spare time and enough sanity to last.

it would be cool if there was some sort of a craftsman who was able
to personalize items for people, it would cost money of course, and
could possibly even use pyros? but you would be able to do things
like create a name for your weapon, or, possibly even give it VERY
minor enchantments, stats bonuses or elemental damage, nothing that
would give insane bonuses to people, just something to add your own
touch to items
for example, you could add a slight fire enchantment to a weapon,
and its name would change to "Blahblahweapon of dmgtype" or you
could change the name only making it "'s
- of whatever
you could also give the items a small stat bonus, again, it would
have to be really small, and fairly costly, but it would be
interesting i think
oh well, just a random thought, NO idea how hard something like that
would be able to create, so, flame away (like people usually do) or
add some sort of useful criticism

personally, i think customizeable eq would be fun, but my idea of
switching stats betwene items and junk got shot down.
someone else mentioned a desc changer which could be an alternative
solution. even though it wont exactly have the same results as what
yo uwere thinking of, its atleast a start.

I had this idea a while back when they were searching for new thief ideas.
The problem with customizable eq is that you can copy an existing piece.
Say turning a worthless mace into a mace that is worth something.
There would have to be a label of sorts that prevents that from happening.
The other problem it may have is that it dramatically increases the
amount of unique items (not sure how it works)
but I would think it would require a lot more memory. Meh maybe I'm wrong.
A guild that does this and that boosts stats slightly that lasts for
a boot might not be a bad plan.

since the guild changes are fairly significant i'm not sure if a

You have 1 week to use 2 free reincs. I think that is
very generious considering you could reinc into the

I think the wizards have been more than generous by giving us a free
reinc machine to go with the conversion. Most muds I've previously
played definitely wouldn't have (perhaps thats the reason i'm
here).
True, yes, people might be on holidays and miss the few free reincs.
But perhaps then it's not time to test out the xorn f
remage-druid-fighter combination.. giving a reinc ticket to
everybody would result in UTTER MAYHEM lols.

You say it's a "one chance to get it right" reinc... wtf? The new
system is basically exactly the same as the old one, the people away
can simply reinc straight back into the guild they were just in.

a free reinc ticket for everyone is bad news bears i tell ya, if you
end up doing that, 75% of the people will just end up selling it to
higher end players to fuel reincs into eq guilds and back out when
needed, and i for one would hate to see a newbie running around with
some damn nice eq that he got from selling that ticket when alot
of us worked our asses off to get good eq when we were small.
ps thank you for the free reincs, i myself didnt really need them
but it did give me a chance to perfect my healer reinc command so
thanks much :)

Do what I did - command hscc help spell caustic cyclone.
Voila! You now have a command that gives you (that's you, not u)
exactly the same information as the command "help spell caustic cyclone".
Then I got really lazy and mapped 'help spell caustic cyclone' to
a function key, cutting the 5 keypresses down to 1.

Here's an idea. Create a guild that only lets you learn
skills/spells that you are hit with.
You get a maximum of ten skills/spells per alpha/gamma/bravo/omnicron.
At first, this would seem powerful but keep in mind you get no
masteries at all.
It would prove an interesting and versitile guild although not
likely as powerful as a focused guild.
but healing abilities, protection abilities, buffs, and blast spells
aint bad wither.
It's a thought. Flame at will. - - Ertai

This guild was started and I think only a small portion of it was
made, I can't recall how that version worked.
If I remember right.. it was Daneel that was doing it a while back.
Dunno, just saw the code in someone's dir on 10k.

It would be really cool if quick chant could be altered to be a
little more like parry. That is, you could choose how much you
wanted to apply your quick chant. 0 would mean it turns it off, and
100 would be you using your full ability in quick chant, so this
would make it a little less complicated for when you have over 100%
in qc. This would be somewhat helpful to blasters so they could slow
their qc down and would be able to keep themselves from tapping
without having to stop casting alltogether.
With this, there could also be some interesting advantages. For
example, having qc off would perhaps allow a greater success chance,
or they would be able to have a greater effect with the spell etc.

Hmm.
Dont base this game on bots/triggers. And it's not a problem if you
type an alias or push a macro to cast the spell.

This is easily simulated by a client (how to do this is left as an exercise
to the reader).
But what i can't understand is what advantage is there to prolonging combat
for a blaster? All it does is give you (or your tank) more opportunity to take damage (or an unlucky stun which ends up killing you). With very few exceptions
do to melee weapon specials, it is better to kill the monster faster then heal
outside of combat.
Please don't ask the wizards to put in features to help botting. Just write better bots.

maybe have a command that we can direct on a mob to know its current tune.
example, in horses area in farm (sw of city):
>[the new command] horse
horse is at XX% tune of its original
OR
>[the new command] horse
horse is tuned above/below 100%

another possiblility is, include this message when you consider .
so, it will be:

While we do not have to honor that request since everyone

if you want to know its xp worth, join the psychics guild and get

i doubt this will happen as iirc it was a once in a lifetime event
also there were a few problems that required wizzes to be activly fixing it
anyway theres loads of stuff to keep people here and stuff is
being constantly added.
anyway there may even be future once in a lifetime event that i miss
but you get to play. it just one of the problems with playing a game
that is always being played.

make it so you can type in a percentage or how many times you want to level or something, sucks to choose between maxing or repetitous typing... for those times when you have all skills, and have to get everthing to 95% so you wont waste that last bit...

its not abuse that is the problem.. and it is very easy to do.
I have done it on the builder port before..
The problem is that it lags the hell out of the mud while
a player trains to 110%.
The other obvious solution.. is to put a number in front
of your command.. 10 train X. same result and no lag.

You could also try taking wishes in a different order, assuming
you're also using skillmax wishes. ie: if you plan to take lesser
skill max as well as all skills, you could just not take those
wishes until after you finish training, therefore avoiding typing
the number 18 in front of each training command.

it is not possible since it is the monster that

nod. I would bet most players have a few macros/commands to move them across

i think the only reason you could really need this is if you had
below level 15 people that didnt know the areas, but now that we
have warp that is an old relic that isnt really needed. im sure
there are 100 frickin billion people you could ask that already have
the command, or you could take a few minutes out of your precious
time that you obviously find SO valuable and figure it out and
command it yourself

Anyone else happen to notice that we had to walk to and from these
exact same guilds before the conversion? If anything we were already
given an upgrade by having a portal that goes to all the alphas.

I got a little confused by the narrative but I agree that it's OK
not to have portals BACK to adv guild... that's what warp is for.
I don't agree to the idea of eliminating portals TO the alphas.
That service is for new players that older guys just get to leech
off of.
However, it might be a fun idea to only let players under lvl 16
use them. haha.

Since we don't have ep-burn when walking here, the island is proven
to be only about two feet long. Do commands and walk commands should
be plenty more than enough for you to find your way from a guild to
adv.
If you think that's hard, perhaps you should go play some old-style
muds that have ep burn for walking and combat, plus paralysis when
you're tapped eps, resulting in a possible one-hit death by a
wandering weak mob on your 10-minute track from outside the city
gate to the centre of town.
Of course, death is final in many such muds too, so try to be careful.

it would have been possible 6 months ago.
With recent changes to the mud to conserve memory the fire
may or may not stay in memory while you are off doing

Sorry sent a mail the first time. This has been asked for before and
its the same answer. We are not going to create a 'history'
for every command/emote.
There are lots of options most notably use your client and its
ability to do things.
Worst case or best case in soem cases create a private channel
for your use.

they are at full hp's while they idle CS

Ever sense Azarian attack started running in Illium instead of RDC,
it hasn't been as exciting because the new city is so much larger.
It would be nice if the number of minions that are spawned would be
upped to account for the larger number of rooms. As is, right now
its more about running around like a headless chicken (or hiring
scouts) than the actual combat, which many would agree is not nearly

Oh also on the note of event spawning numbers, it would be
interesting to have the number of egg sacs spawned by the Lloth's
children event related to the number of rooms on the island.
Currently, When the event runs on dc you have 2 egg sacs in some
rooms, whereas on blackavar you have to run across dozens, making it
rather dissappointing when the event runs on a large island.

People would probably complain if you made it drop only 1 egg per
'dozens' rooms and it ran on dc. Likewise, if 100000 eggs dropped on
bvar, it would be WAY out of tune. Maybe if it was made to only run
on islands with vmaps, certain people would be a little happier,
though personally I don't see any problem with it being as it
currently is.

I hate to complain, but please change keep back to the way it was.
It used to be if you had 10 of something kept, and you picked up 10
more, then doing 'keep obs' would mark the new ones as kept and
leave the old ones alone, which is probably what you want. Now it
marks the new ones as kept and it changes the old ones to unkept, so
if I want to keep all of them I have to do 'unkeep obs' and then
'keep obs' again.
As far as I can tell, the new functionality is only useful when you
want to unkeep a group of things, and you could already do that:
'unkeep obs'

subject: Harmer
date: Wed Feb 2 04:24:37 2005
I know that harmer is supposedly being reworked so noone wants to
put much time into it as is, but I have a couple of quick
suggestions that would be a nice help to those still in it.
To begin with, it would be interesting if instead of using navigator
and master navigators as prerequisits, there should be simply a
certain number of guild levels required. So, in order to join dark
worshipper or magical torturer, you would simply need 40 glvls, and
to join evil priest you would need 70 glvls. This would help them a
bit because they could work on starting their second guild trees
early, so they wouldnt have to "waste" 20 levels
Secondly, I think harm body could use a little TLC. From what I
hear, it used to be a respectable spell, but was downtuned pretty
hard. I realize that it is a gamma level spell, but a couple things
could be added to boost it a bit. If masteries from the higher level
guilds were made to effect it, (namely dark ritual, interrogation,
and blood magic), it might allow it to return to its former self
while still being in tune for the smaller people.
Just think these things would help the tree out a bit, make it a
little more attractive until it can be properly redone at a future
date.

it does have a mastery, it's called inflict harm
though i do tend to agree, even with mastery it's somewhat weak
interesting idea, since i hardly ever used master navs

dracprot Control Elemental Energy is dropping, need to
refresh immediately!
interesting that people say it is harm body that is weak, and ony
peel flesh, peel flesh is a bravo level spell and i always found
harm body to do more damage, and that peel flesh was only good for
finishing a mob off, since habo has a pretty horrid time doing
that.
btw ony = not ahahaha i suck
dracprot Control Elemental Energy dropped!
although i like the idea for removing the requirements of nav and
master nav, i think it would be interesting to be able to be evil

just an idea i had for hunger that i think would be good, as it
would make it a little more realistic. when you get to the stuffed
(91%-100%) there should be a slight penalty. IRL when you get
stuffed like that you end up almost being in pain so i think hpr
should drop in this reagon, as well as stun resistance should drop,
since if your that full and got hit you would probably puke your
guts out and natural instincts would cause you to stop what your
doing and double over. just a thought.

There was a penalty when hunger was first added, but it was quickly
removed because players complained. It would make the game more
realistic, yes, but not enjoyably so. Unless you really like the
idea of having to calculate out how much food you need to eat
instead of just typing 'eat all'.

It does require 90% iirc.
Anyway, since MA is not really top solo, regen is not their biggest concern.

I don't know about you but i'm never in pain when i get stuffed. I
get very relaxed and make myself comfy on the sofa. It's a nice

i myself think that defender of the crown is where it should stay.
if you think about it, using any weapon is pretty easy to learn, i
myself know how to use 4 differant midievil weapons, but when i
tried to learn using a shield i couldnt figure out how people ever
used them. it is a special type of weapon that is ALOT harder to use
and i think it makes sense where it is, anyway, thats just my 2
cents, take it or leave it

Draco's inability to use shields or spell medieval correctly aside,
this has been suggested before. It was stated at the time that to
add something like this would upset the current balance of shield
parry type abilities in the warrior tree, and that there wasn't
anyone who had the time and the access to make such changes.
Perhaps a minor modification of the the current guild tree could be
made, in the form of shield parry being given in the upper levels of
warrior, to a low max training level of 40%-50%, after which one
must join defender to max said skill. Any other ideas on this?

It's would be cool if there is quest price, where you can give

That item could get new name like Charix's Burning Stick etc...and
it's get +stats etc.. i hope these weapons could be better than

like only that player can wield who did quest or you can't enchant

i say this in all seriousness:
players like to kvetch. when DL was popular, a lot of people
complained day in and day out about how unbalancing it was. Now it's
necro's turn to take the heat.

This is true. Before DL, it was woodsman that was overtune. Woodsmen
could tank too well, people whined, and it was tuned. Then came DL.
People said it had too much raw power, stating that it was overtune
for a while. In time, DL was brought into balance.
Necro is the latest new guild tree to be added, and yes, it is
overtune. For a time, it was being tuned down to be more balanced,
but there are still points about it that keep it out of tune, and
will continue to do so until the guild is modified to be more in
line, power wise, with the other guilds out there.
No-one's saying it has to 'be like every other guild' on this mud,
but the unfortunate fact is that it literally _IS_ like every other
guild out there. Except that at this point it includes only the
strengths, and none of the weaknesses that those other guilds
provide. Necro's only weakness at this point is the 'loss'
'suffered' if the necro themself log off without saving their
familiars, which is hardly a weakness at all for anyone with a
memory longer than a goldfish.
The essential point is as I stated it would be less than a week
after the guild was introduced. It's overpowered, and slowly it is
killing the mud, in the sense that:
a) tunes on mobs have gone WAY down, in fact dropping around 10%
since necro was first introduced. Before necro, tunes was hovering
around a healthy 105%, where now it's down to 96.5% and keeps
dropping.
b) The playerbase has shrunk greatly since necro was introduced.
People get bored of doing bigger xp parties, since relatively small
necros are constantly tuning the mobs of sufficient size. For those
of us that 'skim' mobs, ie: clear an area then go elsewhere for over
2 hours to keep the mobs from being tuned, it's even worse because
necros by design must kill many more mobs to the the same amount of
xp as other players would, thus resulting in more areas being killed
more often. People get bored looking for the now-nonexistant untuned
mobs, and over time, more and more people decide to just retire and
go elsewhere.
c) As Kjara pointed out, all pvp combat is totally screwed over
since 1 fair-sized necro is basically the same as an eq party, and
coupled with the fact that pvp damage is insanely tuned (a side
effect of mobs and players being coded the way they were), a
non-necro player fighting against a necro is penalised by this tune
while the necro's familiars are not, again resulting in an insanely
unfair advantage for necros in all pvp events.
There are other points, but I'll leave others to mention those as
they feel neccessary. Basically, since necro has been introduced,
the active playerbase has fallen, the percentage of active people to
idle people has fallen, the overall xp tune of mobs on the mud have
fallen, and it can't all be coincidental.
The total lack of balance the Necromancer guild currently displays
is killing this mud, period.
My ten cents.

i would like to address a couple of these "issues" which you bring
up. first off, its not DL's fault, its not Necro's fault, its not
even Woodsie's fault, it's obviously the fault of sombre, for some
unknown reason.
also, you say that necro hasn't been tuned enough? have you truly
seen how many downtunes we've received? heck, wagro had to leave the
guild because everytime he kept getting more power, ixt tuned it
back down, and he wasn't even maxxed.
necro strengths ~ being able to tank very well, being able to make
decent rates with higher level fams... etc etc
necro weaknesses ~ no heal spell for self, loss of exp for not only
yourself but your familiars too, loss of expensive eq, repair costs
for eq/weapons used on yourself and familiars, and seeing as most
necro do go snakeman im going to throw in that we have low hp.
not to mention that we only recently have gotten an area spell that
doesn't take roughly 2k sps to cast like corpse explosion w/ 100%
corpse.
now then, onto the list of letters!
A) tunes on mobs is purely coincidental. hell, what if everyone
reincs woodsie, and the only 5 DL's left go on a chain killing spree
for 24h a day? lets blame woodsies! i havent really killed that many
mobs myself recently, im sure there are others like me that dont
really kill that often too.
i beleive the saying is, "he who smelt it, delt it"?
B) yeah, necro is fairly effective in PvP, they might do something
about it to tune it down, they might not, whose to know?
you guys give us way too much credit though, i mean look at it this
way, we cant heal ourselves and have low hp, hell, 2 blasters could
take us in a round easy
why do you think i never faced wagro directly in any of the
arena/battle royale events when he was in his evoker body ;)
im betting your woodsie body would have had no problem against his
evoker body, just like my necro body would have had no problem
against your woodsie body... im noticing a pattern...
*inserted just because* (just because i know your gonna bring up the
point of getting some sort of healing 2nd alpha or other forms of
healing, i would like to point out that you are going beyond the
necro guild at this point, since those options are open to everyone
and cannot be deemed guild specific)
at any rate, there are many ways to take advantage of the fact that
90% of all necros are snakeman for PvP events.
The total abundance of balance the Necromancer guild currently
displays is saving this mud, period.
forever yours,

Can I join the necro guild you refer to? The one I have been in
for 198 days is not the one you're describing. I did far better
exp rates as a dragon lord.
Necro is different in one key way - the disparity in power between
new necros and necros who have gradually ground their way up
to a lot of exp gained in the guild and a lot of guild mastery.
For example, a new necro, *regardless of their worth* will not be
able to solo a 25K mob.
A few options:
1) Downtune necro enormously, to reduce the complaints that it's overtuned.
There will still be complaints about it being overtuned, as it's relatively
new. These complaints will continue until another new guild appears (see
Shifter for an example).
This will make necro impossible for anyone to join and play, as they will
start off too weak to kill a chicken.
2) Greatly reduce the amount of power gained by necros as they progress, so
power in the guild is essentially dependent on worth and guild mastery only.
This removes the whole point of necro.
3) Remove necro completely.
Any other options?

Ok I'm not here to rehash all the reasons why necro is/isn't out of
tune, but to abolish the gross rumors that are circulating around.
First of all, the only penalities to necro are NOT about saving. If
we die, all our eq on the ground drops, and there are plenty of
jerks out there that just wait for necros to die so they can get
free eq. Want to talk about PvP? Thats about as bad as it gets here,
at least in those events its only for fun.
You talk about necro's soloing 1.5m eq mobs. Ever stopped to think
about how long it took Soulleech to pull that off? If it were as
easy as you think it is, don't you think hed be chaining them all
day? I know for a fact that in order to do anything of significant
size, you have to have a lot of corpses prepared in advance. Yes its
possible to kill large mobs if you invest the time and money to get
good in the guild, but it's mostly for fun, there is hardly any
practical use of it.
Lastly, to address the overall power. You only take time to notice
the large rates, the big mobs, etc, but you don't hear about the
dozens of necros who struggle to kill mobs that most other guilds
could clean house with. If you had played the guild for even a day
you would know that your power level at start is just about zero,
which is why i've seen countless players join the guild, and leave
within a week because they wern't willing to deal with sucking.
My solution? Unless you have played necro and actually gotten to a
point where you are experiencing these issues you are complaining
about, you have no right to bitch. It's really easy to complain
about the guild when you have never tried it. So until you reinc the
guild and experience first hand what it is like, stfu and drop the
issue (just like Ixtlilton previously posted)

Dude, my origional complain wasn't about any of that, it was merely
about giving necros the same penalty players(or perhaps more so,
since they do have a party) have in events, considering that it
really isn't fun to play against a necro as any guild i know of(ok
you claim evoker but whee, 1 guild that kills it), anyhow isn't the
point to be "fun"? When you are telling me to not enter the event if
i don't wanna die to a necro, i don't see where "fun" enters in.

The disease is a point. I use SI on all mobs that I infect but
don't kill, but even that might not be effective with a maxxed
zombie spreading disease.
As for exp rates...I think I could manage 100K/min for a while, until
I tapped. Unlike DL, where I could do at least 150K/min forever.
Without having to pay for at least 3 top-end eq sets.
A point regarding exp and tuning is that necro minions take a lot
of it. So you might see a necro with a 300K/min rate, but they're
only getting 150K/min tops. You might see 1 or 2 necros who
can do insane rates with a high-end abjurer, but they still won't
be getting all that much themselves.
So this might be an issue for tuning areas, but it isn't an issue
for actual exp gain by necros. DL is better than almost all
necros for exp gain.

please make more areas with more exp mobs so necros can't

Here is one issue where I agree that Wagro and Tahnval have a point.
The 'party rates' that necros get are indeed including the amount of
xp that the familiars are leeching, however I'd like to point out
one thing:
I never once mentioned necro party/solo rates. My points were based
on what has happened _to the mud_ since necro was introduced. What
has happened to the mud itself affects _every_ active player, not
just necros.
If we had a more intelligent tuning system, ie: mob tune for each
player was independant of other players' tunes for the same mob,
then the whole point would be moot. But as I said, the average tune
according to the tunes command is 96.5%, down from the around 105%
it was when necro was first introduced.
This _is_ a mid to long term effect, it _has_ happened, and since
the amount of online players has decreased considerably in the same
time frame, from 50-80 down to 25-50, it can't be because 'everyone'
is killing more.
-----------------
poster: Tahnval
subject: >>>>>>>Necro and events

Tranquil's latest point (about exp tuning) might have some validity, IMO.
The few high-powered necros are each like a high-end exp party and that
might well be affecting exp tuning overall.
Can an admin shed some light on this?
As for "killing the Mud", blah, blah, I think that's...I'll
be very polite and say "unsubstantiated". Player loss occured before
necro came out. The average players on at any one time had started to
reduce before necro existed.
For anyone who thinks that necro is a hugely overpowered guild
solely responsible for player loss, exp downtuning and the end
of the world as we know it because it is so utterly overpowered, please
join the guild.
I promise not to laugh too much as you struggle with being about
as powerful as a L15 warrior despite using multiple high-end eq sets.
That's how you start in necro, and it's a hell of a slog to be better.
I'm only in necro because it offers progression for high-worth players.
I was bored of gaining 60M exp to hopefully gain 0.2% on a useful stat, if
I was lucky, or, if I was really lucky, a massively downtuned beta-level
skill or spell that might be of some vague use.
I recall all of this argument from Shapeshifter a year or so ago.
A personal exp tuner would help, but that would probably mean a
huge amount of work for the admins, both in doing it and then fixing
the inevitable bugs and complaints.

Would it be possible to make herbalist potions, balms, etc keep until boot
if dropped on castle floors, like they used to? Everytime I log on it takes
20-40 mins to make potions and balms to solo or party. These items are
a must for druids/gem blasters for soloing and a huge help in parties
for the healers, abjs and tank. The average exp party i use 15 priest potions
for party members and 5 or 6 warrior potions and balms for tank. It was
so much more efficient when I could make these right after a boot and
when i logged on another time they were waiting for me and i could join
a party or solo immediately. Was thinking since something so small and easy
to get as firewood keeps on floor until boot that these could be changed
to do the same. Or as no. 2 idea, give us a cabinet or special safe that
would hold these items until boot. At boot the door or top would open and
they would dest.

New I could be wrong,
However, when I look at the guilds somethinc occured to me
Most of the guilds are magic users which does not mesh well with MA.
So when yuou finish MA and go to choose a second guild:
Warrior overlaps most of it, and the parts it adds requireds you to
have a weapon..
Nopt a good thing for MA, SS puts you in animal form where you are
again considered armed and can not use the MA abilities,
and woodsman again most require a weapon.
So I was thinking IUs there a way to either make like say knuckles
so you could have a wqeapon
Or maybe just be considered to be armed, so that you could use say
double attack and wirlwind attack from woodsman
any of the other skills along the same lines where you ahve to be armed.
I could be way off base here but this is all my understanding.

I recommend bard... You're sort of half right about MA.
No, it doesn't mesh well with 2ndary alphas ex. fighter and bard,
but then again, fighter doesn't mesh well with much either.
The answer is to either go 2ndary bard (for best efficiency)
or create a hybrid MA/abjurer or MA/healer
(choosing a race like dwarf and mixing up your eq)
but when i tried that i hated it... i just recommend bard. you get
walks, which are awesome.

You either do not understand how this works or you are not
explaining yourself clearly.
regen resets nothing about these extra hps. They stay until you
use them up. I just tested this multiple times and they
never 'got reset'.
So either something else is going on that you are not explaining
or you just do not understand how they work.

jeez zif, do you have any clue how many meaningful conversations go

This is not meant to be a rant or anything, just an idea. Now that
abjurer is available as secondary guild tree, I personally would
like to see the spell Iron Will moved to Masters of Energy. I say
that because I do not like seeing people pick up the abjurer alpha
and be granted the most powerful stun resist spell in the game.
The abjurer alpha tree is based on minor protection spells, hence
you find all the lesser shields. In the spell description of Iron
Will it claims that "This spell enhances greatly the target's
ability to resist stuns." That does not sound like it is in its
proper place, why is it mixed in with lesser protection spells?
Instead what we should do is put Iron Will in the Master's of Energy
spell.
The spell greater physical shield (grap) is also a popular abjurer
spell found in protector of the earth guild. Guilds such as
protector of the earth and masters of energy specialize in more
powerful forms of shielding. Hence you find the greater shields
there. Since grap (a big deal spell) is found in protector of the
earth, lets put iron will (the other big deal spell) in Masters of
energy. Doing this will literally prevent just anyone from picking
up this spell.
If you don't like that argument, then at least change iron will and
make it follow the rules of spells like greater physical shield.
Found in the help file for grap spell "Spell efficiency is affected
by spell percent, level, wisdom, and mastery skill." What an
excellant idea! Iron will should not just give ultimate stun
resistance, make it work similiar to the greater shield spells, it
will only make things fairer.
I'm really not trying to ruffle any feathers, but the spell iron
will is one of the most ultimate forms of protection an abjurer can
bestow on his or her friends. By simply putting it in a alpha guild
anyone can get it. At least putting it in a gamma level will help
prevent just anyone from picking up the spell.

yes, because its fair to restrict necros from events such as raena,
tesseract, and battle royale. if your so damn worried about being
diseased, idle somewhere that you know you can be safe, such as your

considering that where ever people are idle this could occur
(considering after my post the fams in general moved to another

i know this has been brought up before, but i'd like to raise the issue again.
seeing as stats mean a lot less than they used to, is it
unreasonable to ask that there be more wishes added to the lesser
side
what i'm aiming for is to ask that lesser stat wishes become
available..example: lesser stat: int
lesser stat: str
and etc.. would add 20 to the stat of choice
anyway point is, it'd add more options for character development and
cuz i'm a statwhore it'd make me happy, hehe
and i can't think of any reason that it'd be harmful to add these
wishes, other than wizards would have to take time out of busy

The only problem I see here is the way this would effect low level
abjurers. being able to have only either grap or IW would make small
abjurers even less desirable than they presently are.
Not to mention of course, that as far as I have been told,
skills/spells in a secondary guild are less effective. Although that
may have gone away with the guild change, and have been replaced
with the advancment cap.
If iron will is moved to a higher up guild, please ensure that it is
available before or at the same time as grap.
Although again, from a primary abjurers perspective (lower level)
being able to have IW at that level is very handy, especially as you
only have lesser shields at that time.

whats so wrong with that? youhave to be pretty high worth and have

Since you asked, for every meg i can make in giants, i spend about
100k in eqrepair costs. So 10% of my golding efforts are for upkeep.
That said, I'm probably a bit of a special case, and you might find
that smaller worth people could spend anything up to 25-30% of the
gold they earn in giants on repairing their eq, _just_ for the time
they spend killing giants.
Something you should also be aware of, is that giants are eq
monsters. Small ones to be sure, but they do have eq monster
resistances, and they do do a lot of damage for such small worth
monsters.
If certain people don't like how lucrative giants can be for certain
guilds, I suggest they try reincing to those guilds and trying to do
other stuff, like eq. For the longest time, fair worthed people in
eqable guilds wielded a huge club over those of us who choose to
play guilds not suited to eq parties, and personally, i feel that
there is nothing restricting _anyone_ to reinc to a more
gold-friendly guild. Especially now that we have the ability to
split.
Already I can hear a few people already saying, 'but you're so huge!
of course you can do that! !'. To them, I
would like to say one thing: I started this character at 2k worth
with no eq and no gold. It didn't stop me getting worth, so it can't
stop you.

The giants have been downtuned on cash at least twice already.

That is very possible, that's what i did, and i bet those with many
gigs worth i.e tranquil can make even more.
Instead of spending 4-5 hours in an eq party and earn 2-5 mill gold
on eq, you can just slack in giants for some time and rather buy the
eq.

You know, this is actually somewhat close to the truth. Instead of spending
4-5 hours in an eq party to get, on average, one piece of 5-7tp eq and one
misc. eq/item, it is possible to farm giants for gold to buy that eq/item.
And yes, in some cases (ie: when you're not slacking), the time spent
golding to buy that eq can be less than the time spent acquiring the eq in a
traditional eqparty. But you have to factor in a couple of things when you
consider whether 'golding' is more effective than doing 'conventional eq'.
1) Worth : The more worth a player has, the higher power potential they have
in their chosen guild. This is most noticable when soloing, as in
a party of 10 players, 1 person having 5g more to play with helps the
combined power of the party only a little, making higher worth much more
useful mostly when soloing. In the case of parties, that worth is most
useful only if all members have it.
2) Guild : Each guild is set up for certain things. Some are set up for eq,
some are set up for xp, some are set up for soloing, etc. The
current level of elitism in running eq parties seems to exclude almost
everyone that is not both a) in a guild that eqers consider to be 'an
eqable guild', and b) at least maxxed omicron in that guild.
To get eq, one must either:
a) Split or reinc into an eq guild and take the balanced risk of how well
you may end up dicing, for being in the first round of players that have
a chance of acquiring specific equipment as it enters the MUD economy; Or
b) Forgo the need to wait for others to start playing, but be forced to rely
on other players doing eq parties, and making do what whatever eq/items
they decide they do not require, and want to sell - all while competing
with others to find and kill those monsters that drop gold, AND competing
with other bidders.
I suspect that, being the worth I am in the guild I am, and with the guild
mastery & eq that I have earned, I'm probably able to acquire gold faster
than anyone else on this MUD. That said, I am a special case.
I also believe that doing eq would be a more efficient use of my time when
it comes to acquiring eq and tps, as the time it takes me to earn enough
gold to buy even mid range eq is more than the time it would take to have
participated in an eq party and diced the eq.
The way I see it, eqers still have the advantage. They still have first shot
at getting new and funky equipment, they still set the minimum bids on all
equipment, they still have the ability to do eq->eq trades, they still spend
less time overall acquiring eq/tps than those of us that choose not to play
'traditional eq guilds', and they still get most of the gold that non-eqers
earn, regardless of where they earn it.
So, exactly what aspect of 'eq party vs. giants' was your whine meant to
address, Ranja?

no where near as much as random2 did. Keep in mind that random2
built chains of emotes together so it ended up using a _lot_

If you mean the code for random2 then you are right, it is only a few KB for
that. But when random2 loads the first time it combines all emotes in
all possible combinations.
I don't fully understand the algorithm it uses, but basically if you
have X emotes that total take Y memory, then random2 is going to
use X^2*Y. You don't have to be a math genious to see that quickly
adds up.
I can not say if it is possible to code a random2 that does not use
such much memory for nothing. You are free to code one if you have an
idea how to do it more efficiently than the old random2.

or, rather, how about an event called: magical plague.
it would give a number of players and monsters a random disease when
it starts.
also protection and healing spells would be weakened during this
event, whereas vulning and damaging spells would be increased in
effeciency.

now, as i understand it, this spell was originally for zatea only,
but for some reason was changed.
i can understand it coming from zatea, but i think it's been a lil
overused as of late, i've been seeing it cast over and over again
from a 660k eq mob for the last 20 minutes, making him nearly
impossible to finish off.
i'm also pretty sure i've seen it even on lower scale mobs such as
400k ankh-morph guards.
wondering if spells like these that can litterally be abused by mobs
who chaincast them over and over, could be upped, or atleast broken
at how fast they cast them. being chain stunned over and over by a
spell that was originally for a (3m?) eq mob when fighting a 600k eq
mob isn't really what i call a fair fight.
<-by upped, i meant given to higher eq mobs only.->

Maybe so, but this MUD is not designed for PK and the admins have
been unequivocal about the possibility of PK here. It's
possible that they could change their minds, but I wouldn't

Hey, I'm generally one of the first to ride you guys for laziness,
but I like this idea. I would extend it a little further though. I
would have a 'max' for 'train foo to max' but I would also support a
'train foo to x%' IMHO there's a big difference between laziness
and usability. This would be a usability issue in my mind.

If anyone has played runescape, a mmorpg, their pking is based on a

only a certain part of the game can you pk in (such as an island or
in runescape, the wilderness)
being near the edge of the wilderness close to the city you could
only pk your level or close but
once you get deep enough into wilderness you could pk people much
smaller and much larger than yourself
im saying if we did this you would have a lot less level inflated

level inflation usually happens to obtain certain spells or skills
that are much more powerful, which will not take level inflation
away most likely. and too many people would complain about pk then
there is people complaining about no pk

only one area of the whole game (maybe 100 rooms) would be pk-able
and warning signs would be posted in many places. you can solo all
you want in other places in the mud but if you want to pk against
other players than go to this designated area only. so you can level
inflate if you wish or you could master everything and stay a
smaller level in order to be better at Player Killing

The only difference I see between this and the arena is that one of
the combatants is probbaly going to die, and lose experience. Very
few people will risk thier exps on a fight with someone that might
be thier equal, and definatly wont agaisnt people more powerful than
them. I have an idea though...
I dont know if this has been thought of yet, but why not make it so
that you can enter a special area in the arenas to fight to the
death? When you attempt to enter each time a warning can pop up
explaining what will happen if you enter the room, and that you can
die as a result of entering the room. This will give those of you
who thirst for blood a place to kill each other to your hearts
content, while protecting those who dont wish to participate in pk.
This wil also prevent people from idle parties dropping the said
idler in the pk area.
Thats just my two cents worth, and if the idea has been brought up
before, I apologize for repeating it. If its not, denie it at will.

poster: Tranquil
subject: A few ideas for Dilim:
date: Mon May 16 07:25:20 2005
I'd like to propose some modifications to Dilim the Auctioneer.
1) People may not have any more than 3 items pending auction at
any one time.
This is to stop any one player from flooding Dilim with a whole heap
of items, forcing others to wait until that one player auctions what
could be 20+ items, each of which takes at least 5 minutes to be
auctioned.
If a player genuinely has a LOT of items to sell, then they are of
course free to come back to Dilim once every 15 minutes to add 3 new
items to the auction list.
2) If a specific item is put up for auction and does not sell,
that same item (identified via specific filename) may not be
put up for auction again by anyone within 24 hours.
This is to stop multiple people trying to auction the same item over
and over again, and would make sense from a thematic point of view,
as an auctioneer is likely to say something like, "I'm sorry, we had
one of those come through recently and no-one was interested in
buying it, so we won't auction another just yet.".
There may need to be other conditions for this feature, such as
allowing the item to be auctioned again if: a) it's a different
seller _AND_ b) the posted minimum bid is no more than one half of
the minimum bid posted by the previous seller, just to stop people
from forcing the auction ban of certain equipment by posting
insanely high starting bids.
3) If someone puts up 3 consequtive items that do not sell, they
are refused auction sale services for a 24 hour period, though
they are still permitted to bid on items that are being
auctioned for other players.
This is to stop people from flooding Dilim's auction list with
useless crud that no-one wants, resulting in a) people having to sit
around for dilim to finish auctioning these items, and b) the auction
channel being spammed for no useful purpose.
4) The minimum increment be capped at 100k.
This is because some items will sell for quite a bit, but some people
won't want to add 1m to a bid on an item that was posted with a
minimum bid of 10m gold, even though the item may eventually sell for
15m or more.
10% increments might be okay if an item is posted way below it's
average market value, but honestly, the bidding system players use
more often than not ends up adding no more than an extra 20% at most
to a minimum bid. That's just 2 minimum increments to Dilim, so if
the increment isn't capped at something reasonable like 100k, then
the minimum increment should at least be lowered to no more than 2%
of the player's requested minimum bid.
I feel that modifications 1, 2 & 3 are relevant because I have seen one
specific player often flooding Dilim with bunches and bunches of
useless shopeq which no-one wants, and have seen a few other players
doing the same thing from time to time. These changes won't stop them
selling those items, and won't stop them using the auctioneer, assuming
those items actually sell. But it should stop them from flooding Dilim
with shopeq that no-one wants.
I feel modification 4 is important because it's _extremely_ rare for
anyone to add 10% or more to an existing bid on an item on the sales
channel, and after a little research have also found it extremely rare
for that to happen irl also. Basically, 10% is just an insanely large
amount to add to an existing bid, and is done only in very special
cases on items of extreme rareness and in extremely high demand.

Your bounty is killable and you can get to it from illium.
Tess is not always perfect since some areas have moved around
and she has _very_ limited ability to tell where an area is
especially if its been moved.

Guild leaders should get something extra to make it worth fighting.
Few ideas for guild leadership boost:
1. Eq similiar to race leader eq with boost
to skill what guild uses/need mostly.
2. Extra percent to skill bonuses from guild item
now that it caps to 5%
3. Unique spell / skill

perhaps also make it similar to race leadership, so that the current
*active* member of that guild gets the bonuses? i.e. if the person
who is 100% on the guild plaque is not logged on, guild leadership
is transferred to the active player at 97%, etc.

That's even lamer, right how race leadership means _nothing_. Having
the guild leadership change on an hourly basis would be incredibly
lame.

date: Thu May 26 20:16:01 2005
Well now that materials weight 1lb each, it makes the blacksmith
guild fairly impractical because its not very difficult at all to
have a piece that needs 70+ materials to repair. I don't want this
post to be interpreted as a whine, because I agree that having to
have 1.2k materials in inv to repair everything is way over the top,
but I'd like to offer a quick fix so the situation is a bit more
manageable pending a better soulution.
What I think would be good would be scaling down all materials by a
factor of about 20. That being, materials have a 20x less chance of
dropping, it takes 20x less to repair, etc. Granted, the rounding
error would be painful, but at least it would give us a practical
way to have enough materials to repair not only our own eq, but
other people's (like the guild was designed). Not only does it fix
the obscene number required problem, but makes the situation a bit
more in theme. I've never been one to really be bothered by theme,
but I think it's a little silly to have every monster dropping

Revenge of the familiars.
Familiars become agro to everyone, including their masters.
Killer of the most fams gets a cool prize, etc.
At the end of the time limit, say 45min, everyone regains control of
their fams.
Necro's fams lose no eq
I can predict necro's responses to this.

It's hardly difficult to predict the response to an event that is
instant death for one guild and one guild only.

Well, Necro's can use this event to have a little fun, for example,
how Wagro put it:
Wagro: only if my fams can kill people in cs.
It's just a game anyway isnt it?

There are a few skills in different guilds that ought to affect other things.
For instance, mastery of fire should affect campfires. (at the very least lighting them) Art of blacksmithing should really affect one's ability to mold lava eqs. I'm sure there are others, these are just two of the more obvious ones.
It's true that it doesn't matter because almost no one has those combination of skills anyway. But hey, it makes sense.

and also a highbe could donate something, log on as a secondary and nab the eq, since other transfers are illeagle

problem with all donations unfortunutly
i'm not 100% sure on this but i believe Zifnab (forgive me if i'm wrong) that if you owned something, it cannot be given to a secondary in any way shape or form (can't sell/give then buy/give back etc...)
it probably wouldn't be different then if someone left the eq somewhere in the mud and used another account to go pick it up

A way to fix the problem of others loging on, grabbing and the
selling the eq would be to make it bind to that person, so that only
they could use it. Its not a perfect idea, but it would work.

Pretty sure healers would die too. And Necro fams would masacre
lotsa guilds, not to mention newbie.
When you consider the fact that Necro's strength is pretty much
dependant on the particualr necro's fams, necro suck, their fams
kill everyone else, and. . . lots of loopholes in this. It would be
fun, I'm sure, but maybe it could be a clone a of all fams, so that
some guilds aren't left out.
I think that might work better. . .

Just a note...if you are thinking about giving stuff to your
secondary using this method, do not try it. This is logged, and we
will catch you eventually.
It is better to just not cheat =P It is no fun for us to have to

I have an idea. How about that we can donate eq to newbies in
exchange for a lessened reinc tax.
It would be like dnations with taxes in rl.
Kinda like eje, except instead of donating to the gods, you could
donate it to newbies.
MAybe not reinc tax but some other perk.
Would give people a reason to help others, even if they really dont want to.
I dont want to name any names but i know you a-holes are out there.

1) All players in all guilds can get familiars (though there are
some that can't make use of them). Just get a wolf-hide bag.
2) If you want 'better' familiars, reinc to a guild that offers
them. Having decent familiars is a guild bonus. If we gave all
players familiars, we might as well give all players the heal spell,
and the grap spell, and by then we might as well give them all melee
abilities and all evoker spells, plus of course vulns. Then no-one
would ever reinc to anything since there would be no need. We'd all
be level 1 players running around with >Jant's power, which is
probably a bit out of balance.
3) If you want the ability to train/revive your dead familiars,
reinc necro. Despite the fact that it was claimed that the ability
to train familiars would never be introduced here, it was, and the
guild which offers it is necromancer. If you don't want to reinc
necromancer, that's fine. But the choice between having such
familiars and not reincing necro, is one that you have to make.

on #3, may I ask who said/claimed "the ability to train familiars would
never be introduced here..." I never heard that from any wiz (I don't count
opinions of players on this matter since they have no say so on what
is/isn't allowed)
As for as trainable stuff (besides ourselves), I think as a
playerbase that has
LOTS of high worth players - this gives them new things to do and
spend exp on.
I agree that is shouldn't overlap stuff that people can get by
reincing into particular
guilds, but perhaps add general stuff that all players can enjoy (don't ask me
for specifics, i don't have any right now).

1) Mist mage does not need familiars. There's no thematic reason to
give familiars to a guild which is based on controlling elemental
matter, not sentient beings.
2) Guilds don't need to be changed to 'keep interesting'. The guild
seems quite interesting enough to me, and apparently to those who
play it. If _you_ are bored with the guild, reinc something else.
3) Please stop taking drugs. You're getting worse.

If the player decides to avoid the "hitman" and keep exping, then
the mobs would hire more and more hitmen, until the player would be

all the hitmen, or get someone to kill the hitmen for him.

What if the mobs in the area are stupid? What if they are poor? What
if they value life and don't believe in hiring hitmen? What if
hitmen haven't been invented yet (which they haven't)? What if all
the low-tech assassins are busy that day? And last but certainly not

It was a very bad example. Anyway, there are already incentives for
people to not farm specific areas too much. Namely, the xp tuner.
Granted it's far from perfect, but it does serve its purpose well.
If suddenly a mob that doesn't belong in an area is to be put there
on some rare occasion (as with Dmitri's idea), it should be a mob
that exists in only one place of the mud at a time, and should
appear in places chosen completely at random. In that scenario, they
could be in an area whether the area was overfarmed or not, meaning
that people would have to watch out for such mobs even if they don't
spend 16 hours a day in the area they are in.

Personally I think the idea is interesting, because it tries to
adress a solution to overkilling in a character-specific way, unlike
exp tuner which is general.
Dunno if the solution proposed is the best, but the idea certainly
doesn't deserve the usual flaming and superior "thats a very bad
example" replies.

in the hopes of getting more eq out of sloat's greedy hands, he

Newbies/lowbies are always on the plaque. They may not be top 500

yeah it is true but other players dont see it. If two players
compete against each other they have to keep bothering with ~"how

If a player doesn't want to tell it then publicly displaying it on
such a who list wouldn't help. You're asking along the lines of

I think the attitude is something along the lines of, 'Oh, I can't
get eq and no-one likes me enough to sell me eq, so I'm going to
whine in news about how everyone must be saccing all the eq in the
entire mud.'
This attitude does seem to be localised around Maduo though, but
then he is the only one on this mud that matters, right?

no tranquil, it's more like: Tranquil -{sales}-: how many tps is
illuar? 2 or 3?
or better yet: Tranquil -{sales}-: old tia eq is all 5tp isn't it?
infact, i've gotte an even better one =): Tranquil -{equip}-: need 7g+5l!
and slayn, what im saying is that yes, they are free to do what they
want with it, but all the eq from the parties is almost ALL going
into sloat
i'm just suggesting that he has more restrictions. if you have a
problem with this, feel free to go tpsac all your eq right away to
prove my point even further.

I think what started as a legit idea here has been lost in flame. I
see Maduo's point, that a large amount of people are having trouble
finding eq to buy because a large amount of what eq parties kill is
things they set out to kill just to tp sac. I realise that this is
one of the reasons eq parties do what they do, but it's hard on
those who are trying to buy eq if Sloatinok is getting all the eq
instead of it being sold.
-----------------
poster: Tranquil
subject: >>>>>>>eq
date: Tue Jul 5 12:48:11 2005
Fact is, if players could not sac eq for tps, eq would happen MUCH
less often. Another fact is, that each player may sac each item only
once. I see eq being advertised on sales quite often - often enough
that even with the large list of stuff I have sacced, I still
managed to buy >100 tps worth of eq in 2 weeks.
If people really need eq that bad, they are of course free to reinc
to an eq guild and do eq themselves. But it appears that many people
don't want to do that. I've personally offered my tanking services
on equip, and I've seen Locke and Warrowarr hosting eq parties with
regularity too.
The problem, as i stated in the so-called 'flame', is not that eq
isn't getting done, Nor is it that all eq from eq parties is getting
tpsacced. The problem is that there are too many players whining
about how they 'can't' get eq because _other players_ are saccing
what _they_ get in their eq parties, or buy on sales. That is their
perogative. Just as it is the perogative of people to reinc an eq
guild to participate in and dice eqs, or farm goldmobs for days on
end to buy the items they want on sales.
Imo, if you've got the energy to whine about eq being tpsacced,
you've got the energy to reinc to an eqable guild/farm goldmobs,
therefore any whines made about eq should be filed in the
appropriate place - /dev/null.

your right tranquil, you can start posting in /dev/null anytime you
want instead of replying to anything, it really won't make any much
difference.
have you ever thought about the fact that it takes more than just
one person to do eq? i know i have, it's hard finding ppl who are
all willing to give up their happyhappyfuntime guilds in order to
waste a near free reinc to eq.
i'm not sure you fully understand the original idea at all tranquil,
i believe you just see the name 'Maduo' and assume its crap due
mainly because of your pompis australian roots. my idea was to limit
the tpsaccing ability, you could still get maxtps, it would just
take longer, so ppl would be less inclined to do eq to only tpsac
if you cannot understand this then plz, turn your computer off, and
go back to school.

Well, I don't know what eq parties he is talking about, but the eq
parties I have been in, have been taking monsters where someone in the
party needs something, for the most part, and a few fill monsters to
help get enough good picks.

Now I'd like to comment on your perceptions about these rogue eq parties.
I'm confused as to a few points, are we compelled to sell our eq?
Must I after spending hundreds of hours hoarding xp,
battleing ego, slaying monsters, fighting against time and resets,
bugs and slacker healers, you are saying that I have to sell you my eq?
Thats just not right. I have hordes of eq in my safes
In preparation for my annual migration to that white rift of happy saccing.
Your proposed restrictions on my saccing liberty
need to be crumpled into a little ball and shoved in a dark, wet,

Preferably as near to Tiamats lair as possible.

It would be nice if the party autoreport would show the values at

current system, a player does their hits, reports, then the monster
gets to hit them, which really diminishes the reliability and
usefulness of this info. Currently only way to really bypass this is
to have a trigger to report on new round.

subject: Enchant armor
date: Fri Jul 15 00:52:10 2005
Through a bit of experimentation, ive noticed that enchant armor
offers about 1-2 spr, and highly random amounts of int/wis. What I
would like to see, is enchant armor be changed so it adds around
30-40% to each stat. In a way, it would be a downtune because you
couldn't add con to a int piece or something like that, but it would
also make sense in another way.
If a person is wearing lots of pieces that have a lot of int, but
only have a little bit of wis, it shows that the person values int
over wis, so the enchantment should reflect that. Likewise, people
that choose to have spr intensive sets could actually get spr from
their enchantments. It would not completely get rid of adding
str/con/dex/etc, because if they enchanted other figish armors,
those would be boosted. The other part is, it prevents you from just
loading down shop eq with int and wis, to make a "worthless" set
semi decent,

event ends or at least if all players with some event points got
this score when the event is over...

I was picking through my rather slim eq chest the other day. I saw some stuff that would be good for newbies and thought about giving it away..almost. I was thinking that there could be an eq loan program. This would be great for clans and even if it was limited to them I think would be a good idea. You could have the command for example . lona "eq" holyman and the given eq piece would be transfered to the person untill the next boot. At that point it would be transfered back to the inventory of the loaner. Or even if you had loan "eq" holyman 3...as in 3 hours that would work. Although I think having it out on loan would be more practical. This would allow players and especially clan memebers to help other players by loaning them eq without the worry of having it being stolen or lost. There would also have to be some sort of binding put on the loaned item so it could not be removed from the loanee's inventory are well. Thank you I think it would help out alot and create alot of good will between players which seems to be lacking as of late.

It's not really a bad idea, just would need some fine tuning on the
how it would work, like a new clan command or new option for the eq
trader.
the only bad part i could see about this is ppl abusing it to sell
to other ppl on sales, it could be fixed though by stating that it
couldnt be given away while its loaned.
and whenever its dropped, it would be returned to the player who
loaned it, and it then becomes 'unloaned'

That is not the correct format for list.
Ps: I believe Inside was referring to items in your inventory, or
laying in a room; Not items in a shop, since neither lodestones nor
most potions will exist in any useful form in shops. I support this
idea - or at least some variant.
Perhaps make the 'i' command accept (and make use of) some arguments,
such as the following:
i -weapon : Lists weapons in inventory
i -armor : Lists armors in inventory
i -general : Lists general items in inventory
i -food : Lists food in inventory
i -gem : Lists gems in inventory
i -w : Adds a weight tag to items in inventory, in a form such
as '(5) [num] Item'; Where 'num' is a numerical value
indicative of the cumulative weight of the items listed
in that inventory slot.
This would also be neat in other ways, such as doing something like
the following:
i -general -gem -w
And have your inventory show all gems and inventory items, including
the weight of those items as described above, and forgoing the spam
of the weapons/armor/food sections if you don't want to see them.

if any1 would ever make some modifications to `i` command, then
please add some "price" argument as well, that will show you price
of listed stuff. This argument would of course work only in shops
btw, why to add "-" sign to arguments? so far there are commands
that use simple arguments without that, like `who`

subject: SS Arena
date: Mon Jul 18 08:17:58 2005
Was thinking: Since SS guild does not have a guild plaque.. We could have our own SS Arena. We could fight each other, and this could serve as our own way of knowing who is the 'dominant Shapeshifter'.
Some suggestions for the Arena:
1: Have its own channel, maybe ss_arena.
2: The Arena to be located in the ss guild area.
3: Only SS players may enter.
4: Have an alert system, like on SS channel, where, when a player gets a quest, it gets shown over SS channel. so, when an SS player challenges another SS player, is gets posted over ss_arena channel; and if the challenged SS player is not logged on at the moment, a mud mail is sent to him/her, alerting him/her of the challenge.
5: If the challenged SS player does not accept/respond to the challenge, he/she is automatically considered 'weaker'.
6: Like the current arenas, when you lose, you do not die, you simply get sent 'out' with 1hp remaining, or so.
Additional suggestions:
1: The Arena will have three rooms; one for non-dragon forms, one for dragon forms and non-dragon forms, and one for dragon forms only

In general, I like this idea. There are a few things that don't seem
really neccessary though.
1) You don't really need an extra channel for it. As it's for shifters
only, the shapeshifter guild channel should be quite sufficient.
2) It should probably be located in a more difficult to find place.
Definitely somewhere in the wilderness though, not in a city as the
other arenas are.
4) Challenges should be offered and dealt with in the same way as
standard arena fights are. Shifters are by nature more animalistic
than other guilds, so formal challenges are thematically far less
likely among them. If there is any format of formal challenge, it
should come in the form of: 'The area stinks of 's pee; It
seems they are trying to stake their claim on this area.', just as
would happen in the wild.
Other than those small points, this idea is pretty sound.

To Mintorus:
This idea is such that only Shapeshifters may enter the arena. And, to a certain extent Shapeshifters are animals/mystical creatures once they shift, so.. Won't make too much sense to be in a city/underwater city.
To Tranquil:
First of all, Thanks.
1: Its true, Shapeshifter Channel would be sufficient. But what if some people do not wish to care about their 'position' (so, they can turn that channel off if they so choose it). [>however< i am just thinking of all possible situations.. so.. :) ]
2: Indeed -- in the wilderness. But, why difficult to find?
3: I didn't think of that, that is a great idea. So maybe players send tells to each other or something.

About your idea.. an event, so.. That would make it much like the existing Arena event, except for Shifters only? Not too sure about that.. We'll wait and see the response for that, okie? :)

Kudos to Zifnab for squashing that bug that was limiting the number

Please add one more restriction to prize bounties: Monster must
inherit eq monster. I think it is just silly that prize bounties
give exp monsters as the target for a few reasons. Mostly, the exp
monsters are all pretty small, so the rewards are not very good.
Secondly, anyone going for a prize bounty is already looking for
equipment, so why not patch them an equipment monster?

Is the arena a way for one character to prove they are the better
duelist than the other or a way for one player to prove they are
richer than the other? The rich player will always win if they can
down potions. If you want to prove your richer ... report
score.

I respectfully disagree. A good duelist may be considered one that
utilizes the tools available to them to maximum benefit. Where
dheals require an additional person, potions do not. Yes, having
money helps. But this can be done by preparing oneself before going
into the arena. Obviously the person who brought in potions has
thought ahead and prepared a bit.
Now...what I question is how one could down potions faster than
damage was being delt, given that the amount of damage a player can
deal out is pretty significant.

There were a couple of reasons this person was able to down potions
faster than I could take them out:
1) They were dragon lord (read: high resists, high starting hps)
2) They had 5k worth in hp heals, even though I had them at Vbs for
4 rounds and awful for 2, they just drank a potion or two and would
survive another round.
3) I had limited amounts of time before they killed me, since im a
weak snakeman
Course the opinion of the majority seems to think this is okay, so I
might as well jump on the bandwagon and make sure this escalates to
a riduculous level :)

This was the original post I think. Why do you care if you can't
kill somebody who uses 20 potions in the arena?
If the arena event is what you worried about, don't.
If it's casual arena-ing for fun, set the rules before the fight,
like gentlemen.
Whining about this stuff is like whining that Jant should only be
allowed to mud for 4 hours a day because it's not fair.
Everyone has access to the same resources here,

I think potions should be tuned so that one cannot drink more than 1
potion in a round.
Or perhaps even better, one cannot get the effects of more than one
potion of a type within a minute. So, if I drank an hp potion on
round 1, I could drink an sp potion on round 2, but not another hp
potion until round 21...
At the very least, typing "10 drink a potion" is pretty ridiculous.
How can a person drink 10 potions in 3 seconds?
Put a restriction on the drink command..
Just some innocent ideas, don't hate me!

I agree, that you shouldn't be able to 10 drink a potion. That's
somewhat insane. I think limiting potions to one type a minute
would destroy their usefulness though.
Oh wait..I'm supposed to be mean. Only one potion a day of any
type...muahhahahah.

i also think that a person cannot drink 10 potions in 3 seconds.
neither he can run from one town to another one in 10 seconds or
survive dragon breath that can melt iron...

Would be fool? I was hoping to achieve full out hopeless dullard this week :(
Still, while running from one town to another in 10 secs is cool,
drinking a lot of potions
to escape death is not cool.. die like a man, beotch!
Now, doing "10 drink a beer" is quite cool and macho.
btw, while I cannot survive dragon breath IRL, I have survived my
co-workers smokey, rotting, cesspool like breath. I consider this
to be a great accomplishment! HA!
More seriously - this mud seems to distinguish between two types of
actions - those with time restrictions and those without. Spells,
skills, and certain items have time restrictions.. Many other
commands don't. It's not so absurd to suggest that one particular
action be recategorized, GNNNNNN
At the end of the day, if wiz's like people to use potions for that,
it could be just 1 super powerful potion or 3 fairly powerful
potions or 20 kind of crappy potions... so I guess the point of my
HAET is to say - FAP FAP FAP

so i reported this as a bug and it was declined as a bug
this is the second time it has happened and i really think it is if
anything, poorly desined if not a bug
quinja relocs to people that have not killed her, and if they happen
to be in a room with someone else, then quinja goes aggro to those
people and then starts relocing to them, and as far as i can tell,
this will last an entire boot
it does not stop even if you log off and come back later in the day
with a new body
in any case, i just suggest that quinja be changed, since she can
reloc to people, not to aggro to new people, this time she never
even casted an area spell to draw me into combat

making lava eqs is fun and all, but it would be awesome if a couple
changes were made.
for one, it seems that stamina was completely missed out on the
formula for making eqs, it could have been the builders wish, but
seeing as it uses every other type of stat, it makes the obsessive
complusive ppl a lil twitchy.
the other thing is that it can take virtually days to create a
workable set if you have bad luck, and with rooms cleaning up all
the time, it makes it very difficult to actually use the set you
created. as i've said before, these could be the builders
wishes.(must have had ESP to predict the more aggresive room
cleanup)
what i'm suggesting is that the spell that chooses random stats
could be modified so as to not only to include sta, but it would
also have the choice of 3 options, fighter, magician, and random.
the layout would be pretty simple, the fighter choice would only
choose fighter stats/resistance, the magician choice would only
choose magic stats/resistances, and the random would function as the
spell is normally functioning now.
(just a thought)

There are 3 spells I believe that are supposed to be prot spells but they have the same desc so I have nfc what the difference from each one is or what kind or protection they give at all for that matter. I dont think its a big request, would probably take 5 minutes or so. Thank you very much, it would be a big help to those of us like myself who are thinking of going evil priest but cant tell what the spells in the guild do other then "there are 3 spells that do some kind of protection" thanks again

Also if I recall correctly she is not naturally aggressive, you have

was peeking when a friend of mine played WoW, and i thought.. OMG
its same as IoM but with grafics! and then i saw this one diffrence,
that could be worth atleast giving as an sudgestion. add
proffesionals. In wow it is things like crafting armors, make lether
cloths and some other stuff. anyway so i thought maybe we could
remove guilds like blacksmith, traveler and enchanter and make them
professionals instead, that you can choose when you enter the game
and when you reinc. and maybe get a free level in the guild for
every 10 normal levels you take.. making a lvl 50 char with
professional blacksmith would have 5 levels in it. and first at lvl
100 it would be maxxed. i was thinking maybe adding navigator to
this category, but it kinda makes problem with harmer guild as it is
now. otherwise the mvan levels could simply proceed after nav.
making a maxxed navigator need to be lvl 200...

OMG, i have wondered for almost 2 years where the other characters i
created were... I have them for about 6 months, then I stopped
playing for the school yeat, and when i got back, only this one was
still around. it all makes sense. Wow.
sorry if i seem overly excited to hear this bit of news from khosan,
but i actually did wonder for the past 2 years or so why they went
away, and this character didn't. I did research, and found i I was
supposed to have registered them as secondaries, and I thought
someone found out and got rid of them, but I was never sure.

Sorry to beat this issue into the ground but I thought perhaps I would post something on this forum rather then ideas to perhaps get some kind of response because I am not sure if the wizzes dont read ideas or are just too busy to care atm. Well ya we have all heard for along time about how harmer needs to be updated/tuned up/changed ect so I wont get into that at this time. However as I requested without any reply on ideas channel would it atleast be possible to add what the harmer prayers actually do into the descs "because they all say almost the same thing" prayer to morgoth and prayer to kali I was able to mostly figure out by what was said after I used them, wisdom ect but the third prayer in the Evil Priest guild I have no idea what it does and noone else seems to either. I used it and it said I had "a red aura glowing around me" whatever that means. I realize that you are probably busy so harmer is on the way way back burner probably even behind strongholds but would it be possible to atleast change the skills descs so people would know what they actually did. <--- "the inform part of the post being that they don't btw" Thank you again HM ....tried to write this on inform but apparently I cant post there so doing it here for what its worth bleh...

subject: Mist Parties
date: Sun Sep 4 02:45:06 2005
So, I've been thinking and I've noticed misties are not welcome in
normal parties. (duh) So anway, I was wondering, since if:
1. When a bunch of mists party, if they are all in mist form the
mist forms dont weaken.
2. Secondary guilds are better due to Ixi's tunes.
3. Misties might want to be more social and have misty parties.
I was wondering how well this would work:
First of all, the people in this potential mist party, lets say: 5 people.
Everyone maxxes the mist mage guild.
Person #1 goes warrior secondary and goes as far as s/he can in that.
Person #2 goes healer secondary and goes as far as s/he can in that.
Person #3 goes abjurer secondary and goes as far as s/he can in that.
Person #4 keeps going in the elemental guild and goes lava for more
damage, eq, whatever.
Person #5 goes witch secondary and goes as far as s/he can in that.
Therefore, you have a full party: a tank, a healer, an abjurer, a
witch, and a blaster.
They are also all mists, so a mist can tank the whole party without
suffering penalties.
This leads to interesting possibilities.
Anyway, let me know what you think of it, and whether its a
completely stupid idea and I should shut up and go away, or if has
some merit. Feel free to tell me how we could make this better.
Thanks,

Fantastic idea regarding diminishing returns on xprate for higher lvl

drastic for people over say.... 120, approaching 0.
I have 2 other suggestions related to the horrid spread of Jantism:
1. XP conversion... maybe convert 1 gig to 100 TP or something,
get everybody back to ~ 0.
2. ummm, I think I already said make it more drastic.

Considering the recent tunes, I am wondering if another solution
with similar effects has been considering, instead of adjusting exp
rates : increasing level costs and particularly removing the 100M
cap to level cost
Why I think this solution would make more sense :
- it does not affect lower levels who chose to start multiclassing
without completing their first tree. Thus it allows more diversity
in the game.
- it is supposed to keep in balance very high players who will be
able to have bit less secondary levels ( but they're more powerful
anyway)

for larger players to keep playing, whereas the current
implementation frankly does not. Moreover, it's a much more viable
exp sink than most of the other alternatives I can think of (i.e.,
stat training, minimally useful guilds like traveler).
Alternatively, find us something better to do with our exp, other
than decreasing our exp rate to 50% (I personally had a 50.83% exp
rate the last time I actually calculated it out, and that was with
both exp rate wishes too - although I think it may have been
silently upped since then? - even so, it's only about 70% when my
original rate was 107%). I mean, honestly, I have 14.6 gigs of
worth. No secondary guild I can take will make up for a 50% cut in
exp rate. Likewise, there aren't even many places I can utilize
that exp and have it be at all beneficial to me (I could comfortably
split off 8 level 95 bodies, but I have no such Tektoresque desires;
and stat training gold costs become ridiculously high after a
certain point).
Thus, perhaps something like Uno's idea could help for developing an
exp sink as well: providing us the ability to purchase TPs using
exp, for example.
Similarly, I'm not entirely sure how stat training currently works
when it gets into the ridiculous ranges, but if caps do not
currently exist, perhaps capping the gold (and/or even exp) costs
like how level costs are currently capped could make stat training a
viable option as well. This is especially logical at this point
since high stats have much lower returns than they used to.

I think one thing to keep in mind, the mud cannot continue to be
tuned just for those that inflicted with Jantism. The mud cant keep
getting tuned because people get bigger and bigger as this leaves
all the smaller people further and further in the dirt. There
eventually needs to be some sort of ceiling for how much your
characters can develop. I think after a certain point, exp should be
friggin hard to get you since you already have A LOT OF EXPERIENCE.
My thoughts on this for now.

date: Mon Sep 12 23:34:24 2005
here's an idea... i dunno how well formed it is:
instead of having a constant tune on exp rate, why not let people
pay exp to reduce the tune?
don't get your hopes up that fast, it gets worse.
have a timer that keeps track of the time since a player sacced exp,
and how much it was. as time goes from the sacced period in a
formula with the amount of exp value sacced, the exp rate gets
worse.
if people want to exp their asses off to keep their rate at the cost
of saccing exp, let them. if they don't care about the rate, it
doesn't matter. also, you can exp really fast and make enough exp
for this to be decent. if you don't exp fast enough, then you're
kind of in the same boat as you are now.
just an idea.

I still like the re-mort idea. Admittedly some of our
players are at such a high worth they would not want to at this
point
But some of our up and coming people, this would a cool thing imho
Essentailly at some mark, like 5g, 10g or something high
and I would say require certain quests be completed
You chuck in all your xp, gold, items, castle etc and begin life anew
but with better base stats, and maybe a nice skill/spell or soemthin like that

I also rather like this idea. I don't know about that size. But maybe each mark would give a new bonus. For example, at one gig you reinc and recieve a small addon to base stats for all reincs. At two gigs, you get a bonus to grank and the 1gig bonus. 5 gig, you'd get a special skill or spell that you wouldnt be able to get anywhere else. (maybe you'd yourself give the idea on what you want) eventually, 10 gigs maybe, a bonus that causes your reinc tax to go down quicker. ETC ETC ETC. This is obviously a rough draft. I especially like the unique spell/skill part. So, flame away.
btw, Jaws - awesome idea.

the horse ain't dead yet!
ok, here's an idea that i like a lot, and it seems to do a bit of
what some people have been suggesting as a good idea.
how about being a certain worth or level gains you access into new
areas, but you can't visit some of the old areas. you get access to
new eq, but you can't wear some of the old eq. basically, it would
give you something that you didn't already have at the cost of
something you already know and understand.
in my opinion, this is better than the idea of cashing in exp for
extra abilities. to be honest, getting new abilities is just gonna
let you get bigger faster. it isn't going to change the dynamics of
challenging the higher level players.

It would be neat if instead of being on/off, autoloot would accept

potions" and whenever a monster died it would only take those items.
It would definatly help for weak races that are killing monsters

i dunno about anyone else, but i think gnome race special kinda

VERY rarely, and they have teeny tiny durations. i can honestly say
that i don't think i've ever said 'wow, that was really cool' when
it went off. i think it would be far cooler if (special part 1) we
would randomly find odds and ends on the ground (just messages that
would add up without putting junk in our inventory) and (special
part 2) occasionally put the bits together fashioning something we
could sell for a little gold to the general store. something like
dwarves, only a little more complicated code-wise but a little
neater... concept-wise, i guess.

If you do that you get all sorts of spam like, "There is no gems
here. There is no potions here." etc when none are dropped. Not to
mention if you don't have the ability for triggers or if you are
laggy and want to loot it before someone else. By this logic, why
have the autoloot command at all? #TRIGGER {* falls to the ground
DEAD!} {!loot/gac}

Oh my, some small sign of intelligence actually manifested itself on
this MUD. I am truly amazed.
Yes, Inside's a) is correct. Indeed, it was a silly answer. But then
so was the question, coming from someone who claims to have over
3000 triggers. Besides, I am sure that someone as apparently l33t as
Wagro is quite capable of making a more effective trigger/gag set
for looting that does what he wanted, and bypasses the concerns of
the imperceptive Beranis. If he is, then there's no point me doing
so for him. And if not, then he needs the practice anyway.

Ok, my idea: add either a new skill or new command: sacrifice to . You could sacrifice food, eq, gold, whatever, then, depending on who/what you sacrifice to you'd get different effects. So, lets say a harmer has a godlike alignment (for whatever reason). He goes and hurriedly kills some mobs, then sacrifices the eq and money to Mordulak. This would effecitievely lower his alignment. Lets say a warrior sacrificed something to Dhrugs, he'd get increased melee damage. etc. etc. etc. Bards could sacrifice to Rawknrhol and so on and so forth. Like I said before, you could make this a skill or spell or command. I thought it would be kinda cool. Anyway, flame away.

So yeah, I had this idea. Feel free to post more about how you'd like it to change. I thought it was a good idea. so, here goes.
When the event starts, the mud gets a message that a bunch of weird creatures has settled on a. a certain island, or b. the whole mud. These "weird creatures" would range from maybe 1k worth - 1mil or so. When a player, or a party, kills one of these creatures, it would drop something like a bounty token. Lets say you kill a Lethifold. It would be around 1milish worth. For those of you who don't know what a Lethifold is, go read some greek mythology. Or maybe roman. Whatever, anyway, it'll drop lets say: a piece of dark cloth. You'd then give that to the NPC in cs that comes with this event, and he'd reward you with a amount of gold. Harder mob = more gold. etc.
So yeah, flame away,

actually, dmitri's idea isn't too bad, except in the logic
department. how do you 'unlearn' something without the basic

he should be an eq mob.
and i don't mean like a gwaul somewhere else on the mud that you can
kill without interfering with the players that are trying to switch
bodies. make 'em suffer.
and no, this idea isn't simply for the purpose of being sadistic
(though, my god, that is certainly a good rush). i simply think that
it would be neat to be able to kill him. maybe make it so that even
if you kill him and he repops 30 minutes later, you still have to
wait a day to kill him again. i dunno... it just seems like
something cool could be done with it

date: Mon Oct 3 17:24:14 2005
Seeing the general lack of parties i've found, and the fact that like.. low-midbie parties are usually limited to what the tank can actually tank.. which often isnt that much, i'd like to propose a mentor system. I dont have any tuning or coding knowledge, so this might be absurd.. but maybe not.
Basically, if in a party with someone higher level than yourself (maybe a minimum of 30 levels higher or something) that higher person can become mentor to his party members, and they in effect gain power to make them equal to his level. That would allow midbie parties that normally couldnt do anything to do decent xp, and possibly even eq, whereas they normally wouldnt have a chance. Also, it would give an incentive for higher level parties to invite lower level players, and actually have it be worth something instead of just being a drag. i would suggest that like.. the lower level players dont gain NEW skills, just power bonuses to what they have. so.. it would be much better to invite a level 50 to a highbie xp party with a lvl 120 leader, but not so much a level 10. but if the level 10 was invited, he'd be at optimal effeciency.. hitting fairly hard two or three times a round, whereas without the bonus he'd maybe just hit once for a very small number.
I know that is rambling, but im not sure how else to describe the way im imagining the power gain of having a mentor. Please feel free to clarify it if you have an idea.. this is just basically brainstorming. In my opinion, this would generate new parties and whatnot.. and especially more midbie eq on the market. but more than that, it would allow low-midbies to do their own eq, with some help from a high level player, which seems much more feisable than it is now, where if a low-midbie gets invited to an eq party, its almost a novelty.

As a larger player, I can say that for me at least, the primary
reason for not taking smaller players along in my parties is because
they simply leech far more than they add. This is not the fault of
the player, it is more a result of the formula used to split exp
shares in parties. Honestly, I can't see admin agreeing to giving
lowbies the kind of power gain required to make it 'worth' taking
smaller (level 50 or so) players along in highbie xp parties. This
is simply because that shares formula is weighted so heavily towards
lower worth players. Unless that formula gets changed, the party
situation appears likely to stay pretty much as it is.

Well, to clarify a little.. if a level 130 takes a level xx, that
player gains in power proportionate to the one highbie thats the
leader. so if a level 50 and a level 70 party with a level 120, the
fifty and seventy both become equally as powerful. But, the xp
shares remain the same, as if there were no power increase at all.

This illustrates my point exactly. the power of a level 70 player is
far far less than the power of a level 120 player, and considering
recent events in the tune world, it seems extremely unlikely that
admin will allow a level 50 player to fight like a level 120
player.
A true mentor system would perhaps be more useful (and likely to be
looked at) if the original idea was defined in more detail, and was
guild based. Something like, if player A is a level 95 Warrior and
player B is a level 40 Warrior, player A may accept player B as
their apprentice, and thus give player B a minor (up to 10%) boost
to certain skills, providing player A had those skills trained
fairly well.
To keep this in balance, there would have to be some restrictions on
the whole process, such as a mentor having no more than 1 or 2
apprentices at any one time, people not being allowed to apprentice
if they are above a certain level, people not being allowed to
mentor if they are below a certain level, bonuses being dependant
upon the comparitive difference between the mentor's and the
apprentice's training in said skill/spell, and perhaps other
guild-rank oriented bonuses and/or restrictions could be applied.
Thus, the apprentice still gets a bonus to his or her skills, and
the mentor doesn't have to be tanking/leading the party for the
apprentice to get the bonus. This actually would make more thematic
sense, since if a level 120 Warrior was dragging a level 50 Evoker,
the Evoker is not likely to learn much in the way of increasing
spell effectiveness from the Warrior.

Well, that would defeat my entire idea. My idea lasts only for the
duration of the party. Once the person leaves the part, all bonuses
disappear. Its simply a way to generate parties that help everyone,
instead of the occasional drag where the highbie sacrifices his xp
to give it to lower levels. but once the party is over, no bonuses
for anyone.

I think that midbies/lowbies should look to other players around their size
to form parties with, and cooperate with, and accept that they can not
expect to get the same kind of xprate as they see the highbies getting in
xp parties.
I think that way too many players expect to be dragged for xp and given eq.
I know from personal experience that midbie eq can be done by midbies. The
problem is that no one makes an effort to do the coordination work that it
takes to make this happen.
It takes a lot of coordination work for higher level players to get higher
lvl eq going too. In my experience, one basically has to talk to a group
of people and get them interested and keep them interested and in the right
reincs to get it done.
I think you could better use your time taking the initiative trying to
organize other players your size to get into reincs that work well
together, and organize xp and eq parties.
My 2 cents, flame at will.

At that point it would be transfered back to the inventory of the loaner. Or
even if you had loan "eq" holyman 3...as in 3 hours that would work.
Although I think having it out on loan would be more practical. This would
allow players and especially clan memebers to help other players by loaning
them eq without the worry of having it being stolen or lost. There would
also have to be some sort of binding put on the loaned item so it could not
be removed from the loanee's inventory are well. Thank you I think it would
help out alot and create alot of good will between players which seems to be

I believe Holyman's intent with his idea was to force the equipment

The same way you can run from one side of the mud to the other

Use y our client to gag what you do not want to see.
Autoloot is a relic from a long time ago when we had a mistaken
idea of what was causing lag in the mud. It was a start at
trying to remedy some of that and then we found the real
cause after some more research.
Autoloot is a legacy command that really hurts nothing
helps very few people.
My opinion is that your client can do these typos of
things much better than the mud ever could.

I am asking for that mainly because there are some occasions when it

when i enter the room, i can see lots of text: description of the
room (optional), mobs, items, players. When i run through an area,
like in an Azarian event, i can hear lots of swears from some
players if i accidentally attack a mob in the same room as they are.
Players are not just as easily "visible" as they could be, having
the same color as items on the floor or special objects in the
room.
Is this better explanation?

bleh
honestly though (and maybe i'm missing the point, somewhat), in the
example of walking into a room and being unable to distinguish
between players and items... there is usually a space between
them... mxp tags would maybe give you the ability to add color, and
i'm not saying it's a bad idea. i just don't see how it's really
that easy to get confused.

it would be neat if you could teach them which shops to sell to. for
instance, i would have them sell to sopor or maybe talos. almost no
one goes through those shops, so if i accidentally sold something i
wanted (it never happens, but i guess there's always a chance it
could), chances are i would be able to recover it.
maybe that's the exact reason you can't already do it, though

it would be cool if we could do something like 'tell
riends,-player' so that you could tell all your friends BUT that
player. my reasoning is that i have people on my friends list that
a) wouldn't enjoy the spam, and b) don't share that sense of humor.
it would be nice if i could exclude them so that i didn't get nuked.
also, i am extremely lazy, so i don't really feel like writing down
the names of 10 people on my friends list just so i can exclude the
11th.
(btw, the nuked is in reference to silly stupid stuff to people on
my friends list like zifnab. whiel i'm sure he's capable of doing
'block multiple'... i don't feel the desire to make him work extra
hard and lose some of his nifty tell abilities just so that i can
talk to my friends who won't get spammed to hell without being
entertained)

FYI I have had block multiple and block friends on since

really? i was pretty sure that kaos and i had a good number of
random people in a tell, and then one of us had the genius idea to
invite you. for a few replies, you were in it. suddenly, you
weren't. perhaps kaos just didn't reply and i replied to the new
list...
btw, maduo says (yea, that carries a lot of weight) that if you have
block multiple on and you get a tell sent to more than a certain
number of people, it will appear as though you are in the tell list
even though you are not receiving them.

i'm kinda dumb for this, i think.
i sell stuff to gab and don't keep a list of what i've sold. i just
asked gab about sales, and she said:
I have 255,000 gold for you from the sale of your equipment.
what? the only thing i remember having in ths hop was a glasses of
truesight, which i thought was only 250k.
it would be nice if gab said something like
I have 255,000 gold for you from the sale of your equipment.
250,000 for glasses of truesight.
5,000 for X.
because then i would be able to say 'oh, ok, it isn't a bug' (i'm
pretty sure it isn't a bug, because i seem to remember selling
something for 5k..., i just don't know what)
also, it'd be nice if she told us when it was sold, so that
(possibly) we could keep track of how long it took to sell. it may
give us a competitive edge on how much to sell stuff for if we know
that people are rushing over to gab a minute after you sell
something to buy it before someone else claims stake on your
ignorant selling price.

I think it'd be cool if we could make eq, saveable eq, with our
TP's. Like 1tp would add like 2 stats. And you could make any kind
of eq, weapons, armor, whatever. And perhaps with maybe 7+tps or
something you could add a special.
Of course, it'd all have limits, like 20stats per weapon, maximum or
something like that.
I think this would help, because its a pain to depend on people to
go out and get eq nowadays.

Another idea for getting/making eq... Scavenger hunts, where you
would be assigned a bunch of mobs to kill and get parts from, then
when you get all the parts, you put them together and make a random
eq. And you could name it yourself. This would probably be a
midbie/highbie thing or maybe a lowbie party thing, but I think it'd
be funner and easier than eq mobs and eq bounties.
The harder/more mobs the better the eq.

Hi, let me explain my situation. I am a newbie. I am level 12.
Newbies has a restriction on their chatting abilities. They cannot
say more than 3 or 4 words in consecutive order. I realize this is
very good and smart for newbies who like to log on and spam. However
it is inconvenient to newbie players who are trying to hold
conversations on private channels. So my idea is to make the
restriction on chatting removed for private channels. That way if
they do decide to be spammers, they will not spam the majority of
the mud. I realize most people will be against this, however, if you
do not like it I challenge you to reincarnate and stay level 1 for
more than an hour and try to hold a decent conversation without
having to wait 30 seconds to be able to talk again.

Not sure how much fun people had with this thing, but I recall that
even for those of us who enjoyed exploring, how fun it was to see
places you hadn't thought of in a while - or even just to test your
memory of the places you'd been...
No matter what it's always healthy to find ways to get people to
explore and appreciate the places that so many have take time to
create - and perhaps we could encourage it through this lovely
machine.
I'd like to suggest some kind of reward for those who hit some
target goal - 10 tps for every 100 rooms perhaps?
Considering how long we go between boots, and how difficult it can
be to get to a room at times (behind blockers, etc.) - achieving
each milestone would be quite an accomplishment.

subject: Condition command
date: Tue Nov 1 08:04:56 2005
It would be nice to have some additional options to the 'condition'
command, such as the following:
condition monster -> shows the condition of all monsters in the room
condition familiar -> shows the condition of all familiars in the room
condition player -> shows the condition of all players in the room
These would make the condition command more useful, as at the
present time, the only options you have are 'condition' which shows
one monster you are fighting, not all of them, and 'condition all'
shows not only the monsters, but also all of the players AND
familiars in the room (incidentally, which includes a superflous
line between them).
This can get rather spammy in medium parties, or even small ones
with a few familiars. Constructive criticism welcome, please direct
flames to /dev/null.

If you paid attention you would have noticed that condition is a verb.
So you can do condition

or whatever provided that monsters/familiars etc have a common id.
Since as a verb, it works just like one.

If you paid attention you would have noticed that the help file for
condition does not state any of this, and in fact does not mention
that it takes args at all. You may also have noticed that players do
not have access to read the code of verbs, nor do we have
mind-reading abilities (except for maybe those shifty witch types),
therefore are less likely to be aware of the options that this
command - ahem, verb takes.
Thus, my update to this idea would be for the help file for this
verb to be modified to reflect the other options that are
acceptable.

I'm suggesting an addition to the death message, to make it
easier to properly target bury/loot/etc triggers.
Rather than just " falls to the ground dead!"
have "Slain by , falls to the ground dead!"
Players could then conveniently trigger for only mobs they
kill themselves. Familiars and minions could be named
seperately, or kills by them could be named for the player
they follow. This is tracked in parties, to create the party
member's kills in the party status, so perhaps it wouldn't
involve much work.

People can already do this via the 'autoloot' command. People can
also do this by making good triggers, such as including a line break
and the pattern 'You receive * exp.' in their loot triggers.

well that is in all, a good plan tranquil, but you have forgotten one thing
85% of mudders, maybe more, are so lazy that they want the mud to do
every little thing for them, so that creating 1 or 2 triggers would
suffice for almost botting.
of this ~85%, 84% are so lazy that even given all this info, they
will not ask how to create a trigger with a line break in it, no
matter how much easier that would make it
the remaining 1% or so would actually do this
and prolly 15% of mudders dont have access to a client that can make
these complex triggers
oh i should remind you, we are on a mud, people who mud tend to be very lazy
as for your idea tahnval, mudders are lazy
basically everyone already has a falls to the gournd DEAD! trigger.
that would fire even with the change
so basically, you are asking for a change that you and MAYBE a few
seleced individuals would actually make triggers for
my advice, ask tranquil how to make his trigger :)
because mudders are lazy, and im sure the wizards have enough on
thier plate already that this would be a somewhat time-consuming
change that most people wont use
maybe it would be fast, i dont know, but im gonna guess not
so yeah thats my 2 cents

The truly lazy mudder designs and implements good, properly made
triggers at the first available opportunity. It's only the hosers
pretending to be lazy that make bad ones, because to redeem oneself
after each tripping off of a bad trigger takes yet more effort.

There are multiple ways to make sure that you only trigger
on monsters you kill yourself.
Set up a variable when you start combat. only loot etc
if that variable is set and you get the kill.
Seems easy and very safe especially seeing how you guys
scream so loudly when someone kills in the same room
as you.
Alternatively you can do the above _and_ trigger on the
exp message should be even safer.
Not sure I see a real need to make it easier to trigger
on since it is already easy.

Bizarrely, in the 5 years I have been here I never thought of triggering
off the exp recieved message rather than the mob falling message.
Man, how embarrassing is that?
Many people won't make triggers involving variables because "it's programming
and I can't do that".

That is not easy to a newbie who has no idea how to
determine that they got the kill. They probably won't
know how to use variables in their mud client, either.
It's already easy for people who know how to do it. That
isn't everyone.

Nothing is easy for a newbie. However I do think its fair
to expect people to know how to use their clients.
If they can make triggers they can learn to make good triggers
all it takes is asking how.

no, also in my previous post i said how most lazy people wont even
change thier trigs to the new code, because they have suckass
triggers and they would fire irregardless, and that having wizards
take the time to change that for a mear MAYBE 1% of the mud is a big
waste, when they can spend thier time coding other things that are
acutally useful to the general population

Given that it's nice to have as it is - but if possible, and to
prevent abuse (not that anyone would abuse it) it would be helpful
for the newbies who go there for this sort of equipment to know that
it's not some useless garbage that someone thought would be fun to
put in that shop...
If possible, and to prevent some of this (and I say 'some' because
it certainly should always fall to the old 'buyer beware' adage), we
could have Gab only accept equipment that actually has some sort of
stat bonuses (+any_stat, or +specials - and for weapons, perhaps a
WC min...).
Either way - it's a great tool for getting this smaller eq into the
hands of the littler players...what would be sad is that those
smaller players stop trusting the value of the listed equipment.

i guess the stat check would have to override the low wc, although either stat could make it "Gabable"

i don't have a catchy name for this event. basically, here's the

for a few minutes (until it is recovered), time is weird. sometimes
it speeds up (regen cycle speeds up, you get hungry faster, things
repop faster, maybe you even grow faster), and sometimes things slow
down (melee and spells get slowed down, regen slows down, you get
hungry slower).

Not saying this is a good or bad idea, but for now, u can always do

why not just make an alias?
in zmud, make a class folder named 'onyxhunt'.
now make an alias that does '~!list onyxes;#T+ onyxhunt'
inside onyxhunt, have a trigger based on the messages you get for
the list of things in a shop. you need to catch 2 vars. 1 would be
the number of the item in the shop, the 2nd would be how many there
were of that item. then do @how_many buy @which_number.
easy enough to do.

You said you wanted it because druids are nature lovers. The
dryad covers that. So why the power complaint?

Cos dryads SERIOUSLY suck. contribution is next to 0. ability is next to 0 as well. They dont even stun.

The main problem we have with the dryads is their uselessness, druids have much crappier fams than woodsmen and shifters, what we mean is rather than allowing druids to join animal tamer as well, can druids have their own brand of fams? Like dryads or other plant things and such.

actually, the complaint that brought all this along was that i
didn't think it was right that woodsmen should get more useful fams
whereas we do not. i realized when i posted it that we had dryads,
but i don't consider them to be useful and they therefore didn't fit
the requirements. i also said that druids were nature lovers and
that we therefore deserved another fam... which meant that we are
nature lovers, and there is therefore no reason that we should not
be able to control another animal.

Woodsmen are men/women of the forest too, hence why so many fams. And a woodsman is in general way less powerful than a Druid. Druids have blast & heal ability, and can solo much larger mobs. I think that it would make Druids over powered to give them an extra familiar.
That being said, Druid does need an extra guild to bring it into the 21st century, & be either 90 or 95 levels. Not sure what the answer it there though.

well harmer got downtuned a lot. and i mean A LOT and as i was

either some stun res included in protection from good or another
spell added or something. the spells do decent damage. i can kill
500k mobs but if i need iw from an abj to be able to. why give the
spell that much power and not be able to use it because your stunned

as a lvl 50 you shouldnt be able to solo 500k mobs imo...
it feels wrong for someone that low-leveled solo so good...
not even a mist mage can do it and get anything for it... and mist
mages was built to be good soloers...
if i have understood correctly harmers isnt built for soloing but
for deather in parties and the like? right?
so i think that you dont need a stun res spell. you should rather go
on smaller mobs that doesnt stun as much ;) would be very much
easier :p

Keep in mind that level doesn't reflect a characters ability. level
50 with 115% skills and or spells is feasable with a split body, or

I think bard is a fairly underpowered guild as far as primaries go.
Sure, its a nice luxury to have in eq parties to give it a little
more umph on pesky mobs, but it really lacks that little spark to
make it a very necessary guild. I think theres an easy way to change
this: Give omicron level bards a song with the spelldamage ability
from selinea's blessing. It would greatly increase the demand for
bards across the mud while preventing anyone other than primary
bards from having it.

Bards Party II:
To make bards something other than another eq only guild, it may
also be worth considering giving them a song to increase exp rate
among party members. Short lasting, of course, so that they cant
just pump people up and let them run off, but with enough of an
impact to make it worthwhile to include them.

Imo bards aren't as much underpowered as under-understood.
A powergaming dagger-throwing bard is more effective than an MA
for damage. They aren't played as much because mastering the guild
is a bit of a forgotten art.
Erec and some of the extinct swedes (killaaz mebbe?) used to pull
SICK rates duoing w/ healer and were welcome in both my xp and eq
parties.
I think they might kinda be like the gem blasters of melee fighters,
i.e. you have to be dilligent about collecting above-average daggers
from around the mud to make them useful.
Also, horses.

or make the exp rate song stay up a little while, giving only a
slight boost, but only staying up on whoever as long as you're in a
party with them :P
but all in all, it's kinda pointless to try and make bard
-necessary-, to make them a must have you'd have to tune down all
other guilds or make mobs incredibly hard and give bard a slight
boost via some of the stuff you mention :P
it really seems like bard is destined to stay a 'nice to have, but

who said he made good exp doing that? at lvl 26 i could solo mobs

I find it hard to find any midbie items on sales channels. Maybe add
those items occasinaly offred by None player characters.
Very few players offer desired midbie items and i find it hard as
midbie to get those items :/ (just out of my experience) =/ . you
can see i put post on sale and shouts by times on sales channels.
By let midbie items sell from NPC the value of those items will be
stabilized and players have a chance to to buy those for a "fair"

well i can offer a bit of constructive criticism for your idea here napht.
think Prayer For The Crusader UP
On Nailman
it has been known for a long time that there are not very many
midbie level eq items around.
the main reason for this is the only people running eq parties for
the most part, are people like wagro and warrowarr. they can tank
topslot eq mobs, they can get the crew together, so there isnt
really a draw for them to do midbie items.
now what you could do is simple: reinc as a midbie tank and get
those parties rolling along
another idea that you could do, is find out who the eq tanks are
other than wagro and warrowarr, and see if you cant get them to
start up a eq group similar to lueq. (if you dont know, lueq was in
i think 2002, every day they did midbie eq parties)
the NPC idea of selling midbie eq items would seem good at first
glance, but then you have to look at it objectively. the NPC doesnt
sell newbie items or lowbie items, therefor that group, who doesnt
get much offered in the form of eq parties either, still lose out
and it becomes unfair for them.
likewise, highbie eq, although seeming to be in high quantity,
really isnt. i sat here for a month now trying to build an int set
and got a whole 5 pieces in that time. so to not offer highbie eq
would be unfair either.
decent idea, but i think the two options that i gave you are going
to happen WAY before another NPC is placed in the game to put out
equipment.

First of all, thanks Draco for the constructive post! Agreeed in
terms of getting midbie players toghter and start doing own eq-
raids, also looks good in first place, then we have to pin down how
many midbie are actualy playing in this mud? How can you organize a
raid when the lvl and quantity base is small here? Did you checked
the lvl average ? How many are on at once at same time for a fair
amount of time? I hear where you coming by saying: How hard it is
to make a raid and how much effort you spend by doing it. I also
read out how you were able to get those items neccessary for your
gear the past month. Who where actually organizing EQ raids and who
is doing it now to date
i dont know !. But few think i can tell you for sure, It is very
hard to find Eq items and it is nowdays not very easy to find Gear
at your lvl range, while there is not right amount of player at
similar lvl there to help you out! About marcet(sales channel) , i
can tell you i bought 2 items but still find this hard. Going back
to the selling items by NPC. High EQ shouldnt be getable by simply
buying since they are what they are . Top notch items in game.
I dont care really what the highbie do with their Equipment. Its
their items they worked for hard.

OK, I have a suggestion for people looking for midbie eq. If you know what
you are looking for, and put this in your plan or something, so that people
can see what it is you are after, then perhaps people will be so kind as
to sell to you directly instead of selling to gab, where any tp-hungry
person might buy it up to sac it.
I do not promise that you will get anything this way. However, it does
make it easier for people who might consider to help out.
It would also make sense that you make it known that you have a wanted list
in your plan. Perhaps on sales.
You could of course write a note on the board like Ronan does, with items
wanted, but this is static, and I personally hate trying to find old posts
to see what was what. If it is in your plan, then you can keep it updated
and I can just finger the people I know have plans like that.
Anyway this is just an idea.

i think another nice option to have at santa would be like for instance:
talk to wife
Mrs. Claus tells you: you last recieved a present at 00:00 dec 8 2005
would be nice to be able to tell if you are a few minutes early,
half hour, few hours, etc.

Currently, if you consecrate ground, you cannot renew it. Once it
falls, you have to consecrate the ground again. I propose that this
be changed, so that consecrated ground can be renewed.
Consecration on weapons and shields can be renewed. This should
hold true for the ground as well. Also, it is much more convenient
to reconsecrate ground than to have it drop at an inconvenient time
(such as while fighting an mob). This is what the message could be
for renewing consecrated ground:
You sprinkle some holy water around the room and chant a few words.
The room glows with renewed holy energy.
In any case, I think it is a good idea. I have spoken with several
healers that would also like to see this change implemented.
Thanks,

That is a good idea. I've run eq a few times, and if (before the party starts) someone would tell me I want this blah blah blah midbie item, I would most likely go and attempt to kill that mob (if it was possible). Obviously, I run RusskiEq, so it's usually limited to 1-3 tp items, but I'll do my best. You can mudmail me too.
Since dicing is completely random, its impossible to predict who will dice what, so if the mob is killed, all that will happen is the eq will be in the game. That's better than nothing.

it would be nice if, after we'd gotten a certain worth and mudage,

suicided her. my builder name was still vor, though, and the idea of
putting out an area and having some asshat make the name vor and do
douche like things... that's my job.
anyway, it'd be nice if we could retire the name if we decide to
suicide or something

Also, points should only be rewarded for kills during this event if
the player gets the kill, as opposed to a familiar. That would at
least inject some fairness into the event, which is at the moment
merely a prize dispenser for necromancers.

i also had another idea about this earlier, but i don't know if it
would be possible. anyways, here goes.
during the event, it could be setup so that whenever a player dies
from a monster, they are sent to cs instead of hell and be put in a
sort of shackles or binds of some sort to prevent them from leaving
cs/killing ppl/etc. also their hps could be reduced to 1. when they
are eliminated from the event, they would then be sent to hell.
just a thought...

Well thats 1/2 the time I suggested. Necro pets ARE necromancer. At
least with my style, though my fams are smallish. I sit back and
keep my fams repaired and refreshed. Sure I'll toss out a blast now
and again, but I am far from my main source of damage. Removeing
necro pets from this event, would be like removing necros IMO.

'i like to think of it as a kind of ascension'
a) already been suggested by many.
b) it would just make players more powerful. they'd be able to exp
back the worth even faster.
c) i'd like to think of it as ascension too, since it's almost
exactly what KoL does, and they (guess what) call it ascension too.

I know the harmer update has already been planned out and such, but I got
and idea. A spell called something like Death Pact. The evil version of
death ritual, it would stop the guy from dying. And no, not like ToL,
because they would still die the next time they left combat. And no, it
wouldn't be super-powerful against eq mobs, because it would only be a
percentage chance that it would go off, so if you're getting killed over
and over, you'd still die pretty quick. It'd be more using in soloing,
where you have this mob almost dead and it kills you, you have a chance to
live long enough to kill it back before you get send to hell. BOOYAW!

hrm... what do you lose though?
death ritual is meant for people who are practiced in the art of
preventing death and restoring life...
a death pact, especially one made with evil gods, would definitely
require a major loss. more than just the exp you lose with death
ritual.

anyways, back to the topic, corpses would make excellent blunt weapons =)
maybe the higher worth the monster killed, the better the wc, or
something like that, and in their shield form, they would have like
a special that prevents dmg but after so many hits it would break.
also the blunt form would break after so many beatings too. but it's
a fun idea ;)

Umm, yea hi, let's point out the science of this.
1) Most corpses are large. Therefore, to use them as a weapon, one
would need either insane amounts of strength, or be 30 ft tall.
2) If you try beating someone with a corpse, you will find that the
corpse becomes mangled, and damaged fairly quickly. Skin and sinew
do not do well when hammered into metal armors.
3) I'd like to see the corpse that can be stabbed, sliced, hammered
and thumped and still be an effective shield. If you try to use a
corpse as a shield, all you will achieve is bad smells and a dented,
useless corpse

you should have read my later posts, i did say that it would have
some sort of limited use.
besides, this is iom, science has no holds here! We have giant
strawberries that eat people... a couple of gods that players can
kill...a lizard that's used as a shield..
i have no problems with the insane strength remark.. we do have some
exceptionally strong players... and most mobs aren't that very
tall/weigh that much... and i doubt anyone is going to go kill
EKRONUS just to use him as a weapon.. although....
...could use the corpse as a battering ram for a party ;)

I think this has been brought up before, but it'd be nice if the bank would provide a trasfer of eq for you. For example:
Person A loans Person B something.
Person A is in a completely different time zone and is rarely on with person B.
So to return the item, Person B pays the bank an amount of gold (or whatever) and the bank will hold the item for a set amount of time, so Person A can pick it up. I don't know if this is codable. But yeah.

i don't see how they two are similar at all. from what i understood
about the eq trader, both people had to be there at the same time
for it to work. what dmitri suggested is that the bank hold a list
of stuff so you could return stuff without being online at the same
time. possibly over reboots and crashes.

I think it would be awsome to add this to the Magical Parchment:
touch with parchment. This action would then determine
wether or not the item you touched the parchment with was on that
list. It could perhaps, become warm to the touch if target item was
not on the list and cool to the touch if it was.
It would not be overpowering since you would need a new list
afterwords anyway as the list does not update itself. Now, I know we
can go into word or notepad or something and do a search for the
item, or alphabatize it, but I think it would be a neat themed
feature that should not be too difficult to make possible.

P.S. for those of you who arent familiar with the player side of the

I think it is a poor idea to have the clan.general newsgroup

players to have an entire newsgroup. The only real use for such a

This specific case, I wanted to do %use to redo my acrobat stance,

but the point of ignoring is to avoid conflicts, and if you are going to have to suffer such setbacks... it's counterproductive x(

It is a side effect.
What happens is that you are ignoring the person that started the ferry
by being the first to go there. You end up ignoring the ferry because the
mud thinks the ferry is something that person did.
There is no easy way of fixing it, so we wont.

I studied this v. carefully and figured out a clever workaround to
this problem:
ignore
You are not ignoring anyone.
This should work until some person fills you with hatee and anger.
I'm still working on
a long term solution, but early research indicates that only using
ignore until you
can count to 10, or simply "squinting" so as not to see the player
you hatee, might work.

II think it would be nice if when you click on a particular guild in the guild tree at the top rather then just saying at what levels you get certain spells/skills it should also say how many levels are in that guild. This is branching off from a discussion today. You can gather this information by scrolling down and looking at the masteries but atleast for myself, and atleast a few other people ive chatted with when glacing through the various guilds thinking about reinc ideas and looking at the spells/skills that doesnt really come to mind. The website is my personal preference for looking up guild ideas because it is much easier to work and get around in then it would be to look at the same information on the mudd, atleast with my portal client. I think this is a good idea because I imagine that it wouldnt be a hard thing to code onto the website and it would also just help make things a little bit easier and avoid some confusion, atleast for people like myself who like to browse through the various guild trees on the webpage.

It is a _choice_. You have the choice to do it or not.
And no. A one time cost is not that major of a thing. Actually

poster: Lurch
subject: Secondary guilds
date: Tue Mar 14 22:50:32 2006
First of all, I'd like to say that I like the guild system changes. It's
always good to have extra options of getting even more alphas if you want,
and the ability to join more than one tree formerly under the same alpha
is cool as well. Now what I have noticed may be my own fault, as I tend to
prefer taking a secondary over getting an omicron, but I still see it as
slightly off. Now I don't know the exact numbers, but it seems that the
secondary guild skills and spells have twice the cost with half the effect
and I understand this was to limit their usefulness... they are secondary
after all. But nearly every tree's most powerful guild is the omicron,
which is now inaccessable to a secondary, reducing its effectiveness even
more. Getting the levels for them is already much more difficult to get
than for a primary, unless you have hundreds of gigs of worth. And most
likely the only reason they use secondaries is it's a lot easier than
keeping track of 13 maxed-out bodies and 12 or more sets of eq. The thing
is the incredibly reduced power doesn't seem much like a secondary guild,
but more like a tertiary one. For example, 'quick chant' in a secondary
seems to not only have half the effect, but only kicks in at all half the
time. Spells and skills you use not only are half as effective, but also
cost twice as much sp/ep to use. All this together adds up to a secondary
being much less than half as effective as their primary counterpart, and
to me doesn't seem to fit. So my suggestion is making secondary abilities
cost 1.5 times as much, and be 3/4 as effective, while the third guild
would be 2 times and 1/2. That way a secondary guild doesn't need to
comform to the fighter or spellcaster primary to be effective, and they
will have more use than just getting rogue tunnels. (it's not like you
only get access to THEM 50% of the time, that would be funny :P) The huge
players are going to be huge regardless, and if they weren't there would
be no point in getting exp at all if you didn't even have a chance to be
huge yourself.

p.s. as long as I'm on things that don't seem right, why do necromancers
get 'weapon skill blunt' but not 'attack'? That's a little silly.

I find this a spurious argument. First off, the vast majority of people with secondary guilds don't have enough xps to get omicrons in them anyway (perhaps 10 people do, if that?) Secondly, if the omicron is so powerful, why do you find yourself joining a secondary guild instead more often? Thirdly, not gaining power is not the same as lessening power.

You are assuming the goal is to have it exactly half as effective. Most of our power curves are squares or cubes, and this example fits in with that trend.

I don't see why, it seems to fit to me.

Could there be a command to disable it temporarily? When you have enough materials for use and there's no one in need of blacksmith service, there tend to be a large surplus of materials that just have to be thrown away. In my case strewn about because my inventory space is nonexistent, merging materials every 2 kills is somewhat counterproductive. Granted, making materials lighter for chesting might be helpful but I doubt it'll happen.... sooo whatever can be done about the problem would be good.

If you don't have something productive to say, make an actual point or shut the hell up. I'm getting a bit tired of people claiming that necros are overpowered and bitching incessantly. The guild's been tuned very many times both in both the quantity and quality of hits. If it's so damn powerful and cheap, maybe there would be a LOT more people succeeding at it. Exp rate is low compared to dragons and woodsies, parties rarely take necros, monster selections are limited, and even when it comes to eq mob, the risk coming from dying is high. If you think necros are easy to play, let me see you max it first. I'm not even going to go into the challenges of being a necro because it's just cliche by now.
What I just said has nothing to do with blacksmith, nor are you the only one who has the anti-necro sentiment; just thought I'd get the point across. MMORPG is just a little more stressful when the players are spiteful. Don't reply to this. If you have a retort, mail me or pm me.
As far as your statements as it is explicitly stated, I'll just comment that a set of badly conditioned rhlss are able to use up the entire safes of materials. Therefore the complaint is directed toward storage and transportation, not effectiveness of the materials themselves.

Indeed, I already do this. Problem is that as many already know I leave trails of materials behind me... materials don't seem to be cleared from rooms and could bulid up over days... Remember how you were angry at me for dropping food all over giant camp? Imagine that with materials 0_0. Hmm... why doesn't clean up take care of them all?
Anyways, if I ever get really annoyed by the materials I'll just gather them up and pile them all outside the area. I'm sure that would be the next suggestion anyway :P

subject: Halloween and Sunnydale
date: Sat Apr 22 01:09:06 2006
Fresh off the surprise "Khosan birthday event", I just wanted to plant the idea that maybe it would be possible to open up Sunnydale one day a year. It would be nice for the newer players who never got to see Sunnydale to experience the several hundred rooms, xps, eqs, and the quest, and also good for those of us who miss it. Given it's theme, I think it would be cool to open once a year on Halloween.
I know some people object to the theme, but maybe they could be happy that it's closed 364 days of the year, and just look the other way on Halloween? Eqers would go nuts at the prospect of "ungettable" eqs, but it wouldn't overflow the MUD with Sunnydale eqs. Since eq mobs take 24 hours to repop, if the area were open 24 hours you'd only get 1 shot at each and would have to settle for whatever they loaded. Most of the best eqs were rare loads, and you can't even do all the mobs (for reasons I don't remember the choice of doing one mob eliminates the option of doing others). The MUD has a periodic free reinc holiday, the christmas holidays and double xps holidays. Opening Sunnydale once a year would be a really cool eq holiday.
Or if you really had to, you could make all the eqs there no-save (like the other halloween area). It would still be nice to open the area periodically so players could appreciate all the work that went into it, and to give people something new and special to do and a reason to log in and party on a specific day.
Anyway, I think these 24 hour events are fun and add a little spice to the MUD.

subject: Mint EQ Saccing
date: Tue May 16 03:36:25 2006
The system of eq circulation seems to be a bit problematic in my view. I think it's mostly caused by the fact that all the mint eqs are sacced right as they are taken from monsters. Where before you could buy eq mint, use it, and then sac/sell to be sacced, now all the new eqs are taken directly out of circulation. Now that pretty much everyone in the mud have enough worth for eqing, it makes it much less likely that you would have items that people in the party do not have use for or are saccable. This means if one does not eq, one probably will not be able to find eq. This applies double for hyboria eq since they can't be pyroed no matter what.
I suggest either reducing the max condition at which sloat will accept eqs, or removing this system altogether. I do not really see the reasoning behind the additon of condition to tp saccing, but if there is one, I hope it could be resolved without making obtaining eq for utility harder.
Oh and lastly, don't tell me to reinc for eq, that has nothing to do with the sales market.

Well, you might thing removing the system would put more eq into the market,
I would venture that it would not.
I for one eq because I want tp. That's it. I have my sets, I don't
need eq.
If you remove my incentive to eq, by removing tp sac, then there
aren't gonna be a whole lot of eq parties going on. Not because
I stop eqqing, but because I am not the only person with this
motivation.
Now, the fact that I am a tp-fiend means that I try to eq as much
as possible. Not all the other people in the parties are tp fiends.
This means that eq is actually going to come into the game. In
addition, you might notice that gab gets a bit of eq after our
parties as well. After saccing and saccing eq, one eventually gets
to a point where one no longer can pick eq you haven't sacced
during dice.
So. Remove the tp sac if you want. I won't be doing eq then.
Be careful what you wish for.

Removing the task point system is not what anyone is talking about
it is purely removing the condition requirement on the pieces. it
used to be that we had an option when a piece of gear got low in
condition.
We would either pyro it or get a new mint piece and sac the old one.
Alot of times it was much cheaper to just pyro it. but like now
pyro's were in short supply on the open market. Something has to
give here. We cant pyro the eq because we cant get the pyro's we
cant get new mint gear on the market because it is largely just sac
bait now, and the equipment is leaving the market via saccing and
decay much much faster than it is being put back in.
I dont see the point of making it so tps can only be obtained by
saccing mint gear. What was this change actually meant to
accomplish. I could be and eq whore like blackwidown. But sue me
for not wanting to sit down and churn out eq mobs for 6 hours
straight. Alot of players dont want to do that, and now we are
being told we have to to get the gear we need/want including pyros

Correct me if im wrong, but this is the justification for all things
eq decay/saccing related.
A couple of years ago eq parties were significantly more rare.
Largely due to the fact that there were only a handful of people
over 1g worth, but also because several significant changes to eq
monsters and player abilities in general were implemented. If I
remember correctly, the first changes were the lowering of
resistances of monsters, which was shortly followed by the upping of
bravo level sorcerer spells. Soon after that, all skills, spells,
and levels were reduced in cost by something on the order of 10%.
The same reduction in cost came into play again not long after the
first, followed by the implementation of eq decay.
I don't recall exactly when sloatinok was implemented or even if he
was put in before or after eq decay, but the entire reasoning behind
the change of the eq system was explicitly stated by one of the
admins. Since at the time the majority of players felt that doing EQ
was highly favorable to doing exp, it was made easier. In order to
prevent the market from being flooded with equipment, sloatinok and
eq decay were implemented in order to create an outlet to remove
equipment from circulation.
I don't see tpsaccing being removed in the near future without some
other way to remove eq from circulation. I can only assume that if
tpsaccing were to be removed the only effective way to keep eq being
removed from the game would be to increase eq decay. Of course as
Soulleech pointed out, the sloatinok situation is not entirely
working as planned. Due to the requirement of equipment being mint
condition in order to sacrifice and the high value of pyroclasts, it
is much more efficient for players to sacrifice equipment before it
is ever put into play.
I think the best solution to the lack of equipment in circulation is
to either increase incentives to allow EQ to circulate before being
sacced, or implement some other system to at least increase the
lifetime of any individual piece. Before the requirement of
equipment being in mint condition, there was less reason to
sacrifice eq immeditly. It was at least practical to sell a piece of
equipment, and purchase a damanged copy for lesser value which could
be tpsacced.
Likely the easiest solution is to reverse the condition requirement,
though I can only assume that it was implemented in the first place
because the powers that be do not like seing a very well used piece
tapped for taskpoints. A second alternative is to make condition
repair less of a daunting task so that it at least reasonable to
repair a piece of EQ for the sole purpose of sacrificing it. The
only problem left to solve is how do you keep eq decay being an
effective way of removing eq from circulation? (This is where my
suggestion comes into play)
Suppose that we implement eq decay on monsters. No so much that it
really damages eq, but enough that equipment requires very, very
minor repairs, just enough so that brand new eq cannot be tpsacced.
This leaves the EQ'er with two options: repair the slightly damaged
piece, or sell it. In order to make selling the piece with the
intent of buying a used one and repairing it a feasible task, we add
a new way to repair max condition.
Salvage old eq for repair material.
I can see this as a perfect ability for the blacksmith guild to
hold, they can take low to mid end equipment and dissamble it into
its component materials which can be used to patch up existing
pieces of equipment. Heres what the overall plan achieves:
* Makes the immediate sacrifice of equipment less appealing.
* Makes the repair and thus sacrifice of equipment much easier.
* Increases the demand for mid level eq so that it can be salvaged
for materials.
* Adds an additional outlet for EQ to leave through.
* Keeps TP saccing practical
* Increases EQ flow to the non EQ-participating demographic.

Summary for people who lack the attention span to read:
1) Allow mid level eq to be scrapped for materials which can be used
to repair other pieces of eq.
2) Make monsters drop non mint eq so it either needs to be
immediatly repaired or a piece can be easily repaired later down the
road

I just felt like rambling a bit more.
You know, I see lots of stuff on sales lately. A few months ago
I only saw people wanting to buy. So it is obvious that sloat isn't
getting all the loot from eq.
I am a person that enjoys doing eq. I don't see it as my job to
flood the market with eq so that everyone can have their own top
set or 5.
I think it is good that sloatinok wants mint eq. Top eq should be
top eq, for some of the mud, not all of the mud. I think there is
something wrong with people not thinking anything but the best is
good enough, no matter what worth they are. If you flood the
market with eq, you will get more of this kind of phenomena.
Collecting your eq sets is one of those things like xping and
questing and collecting tp. It should not be something that comes
easy and overnight, but a challenge that is rewarding when you
finally manage it.
You don't need the top parties to do eq. Top top eq perhaps, but
you can do a lot of eq without having a "perfect" setup. So
even if people don't want to reinc into "eq reincs", they can still
try to organize something themselves and make it happen. I mean,
look at lucifer, he tanks lots of eq these days ;) and some
pretty decent mobs as well, as shapeshifter.
I do understand those people that have sunnydale eq that can't
be Tped now.. and that they are frustrated over the fact that
they never got a chance to do something about it before sloat
started being selective about what he wants. But even with this,
in the large picture, I still think the changes were good for
the mud.
Perhaps nez has a point about making an event to make
it able to sac unsaccable eq or something. Other then that tho,
I think the system works pretty well now.
But all this is just my two cents. Since I do a bit of
eqqing, and saccing, I felt obligated to comment.
Bw.

Okay, from the old post, when I said remove the "system" altogether, I was referring to the mint saccing system (so the sentence says either to reduce or remove mint saccing). Anyways...
There are lots of stuff on sales lately, but iirc, yesterday after the eq party, I saw one person selling, and that was inside. I don't know what you guys killed, but I saw enought deaths to know that the one or two items is nothing compared to the stuff people were keeping. That's okay, that's fine, just thought I'd mention that *most* of the stuff people are actually selling on sales are crap that I can get from drops...
Collecting eq sets is a bit hard when you don't have the access to all the eq parties, and impossible if you don't eq nowadays. Impossible is not a very nice difficulty. Considering how with the reinc tweaks you WILL tap like a mofo if you don't have top eq sets. I can wear my entire set and if I do my normal blast with my vampiric leech and the cheapest blast of all mage guilds (I think), I can still tap!!! I'd say top eqs shouldn't be quite as impossible as you would like it to be, just me though.
I'll look at lucifer, he's bloody 12 gigs and friends with the 2 most prominent figures in eq scene in the mud :) He doesn't make such a good example. Not everyone can eq, and definitly not everyone top eqs. You used to be able to gold for eq, and with the hope that with enough gold youc an get eq just as good as eqers. If the system favors eqing only, then what is the point of gold? I know of a few people who have tens of millions that they CAN'T SPEND. I have 40+ mils myself. Believe me when I say that's not normal for me. Inflation happened one or two years back, people complained... I wonder if they saw the time when money doesn't even have value.
Now highpriest I know is broke, but he spent it all on tps ;)
There are plenty wrong with the system, if there's nothing wrong there would be people complaining about it. Granted the solution can be discussed, but please don't be the perfect aristocrate. Some people actually need cake, not bread ;)
TP whoring's alright, but the problem is that it's getting in the way of utility. All I want to do is have SOME eq out there that people actually could wear without going straight to sloat. It's nice for people to try to make the game nicer and easier for the people who aren't doing well. I probably give out way too many warp blades and have made warp blades practically useless, but at least I hope it's helping someone have a bit more fun in a game that is in dire need of new players anyway.
Well that's my rambling, feel free to ramble back so I can ramble some more, tciao.

Well, I know that there were only 4 of us that went immediately to sloat
yesterday. And after 4 hours of eqqing, not everyone really wants to
hang around and try to actively sell what they just diced. So just
because items did not come out on sales immediately, does not mean
they are not around to be sold.
If you look at who was in the party yesterday, as well, you might
note that some of those people are relatively new to eq, and are still
collecting their own sets. This means that if we do a good job, and
make our eq party members happy, you might not see that much eq out
on the market right away, after every party.
And OK, lucifer is perhaps special. But the hardest part about
eq, and you can ask anyone that has done any amount of it, is
not killing the mobs, but getting it organized. If eq is
commonplace on the market and prices drop, some of or eqqers are
no longer interested in eqqing as often, and it slowly falls
apart. We have new blasters with us, and they are eqqing a lot
and working hard to eq their own sets. I believe that it should
be easier for them to get top eq sets then those who sit and
gold 24/7 and just sit back and plan to buy theirs. I mean,
if it is not easier to eq your own set then to buy it, other
good eqqers that are not as TP fixated as me, might not be eqqing
at all.
Sales works like a marketplace, supply and demand. If eq gets
as commonplace as you like, the supply will fall, because no one
will bother to go get it, because it is no longer worth their time.
A few hard time Tp people like me isn't enough to get eq done.
You need the hard core of people and a great number of blasters
to choose from, because not everyone can eq at the same times,
and in my experience you need to do eq regularly to keep people
in eq reincs.
Now I will admit, after all the noise on the news and on the
channels the last days, I passed up picking good stuff that I could
sell, but had already sacced, for bad stuff that I could still sac.
It is not often I pass up 5 tp things for 1 and 2 tp things like
yesterday. So gab did get less then from me yesterday, cuz almost
all my picks went straight to sloat.
Having said that. I have also been known to pick eq to sell
to specific people, when we have an agreement ahead of time. If
I know that X person wants Y piece of eq, and will pay Z amount
of gold, then sometimes the dice fall such that I can help them
out. And actually, the people I have done this for, are most often
NOT my close friends. It is more often that I have seen something
on sales that I knew really wasn't that hard to get.
If you go back to some old post in eq or something, I have also
asked on the boards, that people that wanted eq that really didnt
do much eqqing themselves, to make it more publicly known exactly
what they need, so that those of us that eq know what is sellable.
I hate sitting with eq and not getting it sold. So I prefer kills
I can drop something I would like myself, something I would sac,
or something I know i can sell immediately.
If you are having a hard time getting the exact pieces you are
looking for, then I suggest writing a note on a board, saying
what you are willing to pay for what, or talking to someone that
eqstacy and here if they might have something in their safes or
might be willing to keep you in mind during dice.
And now I am getting as bad as Wagro, so I will shutup for now :)

And on an aside. How would the removing of the mint restriction
affect me (and probably other people most interested in tp sac) ?
Very little.
I have always taken my tp to sloat immediately after the party.
This was also the case before the changes to sloat. This is because
we eq so much, that it takes too much safe space to save stuff
that we aren't saving for our own sets.
So, the difference for me, is that I could upgrade pieces of my
set that were worn out, saccing the old ones and using the new ones,
or perhaps doing the same favor for those that are in the eq party
with me, and want to trade me there and then. So a few pyros would
be spared. All the rest would still go straight to sloat.
For people that aren't tp/eq fixated? You either have to use
pyros to upgrade used eq or you get into eq reincs and do something
other then xp/gold to get those eq tps. And, you do want people
into eq reincs don't you? So that eq gets done?
I still think the mint restriction on sloat is a good thing.

Warr and I have perhaps 20 together. But those are used for other

Now, I know other people do otherwise. But they are not the ones

Exactly how much of the total loot collected in an eq party would seem fair
to you to end up on sales? Do you know what all the pieces were that dropped?
What I'm really interested in is how people reaches the conlusion that
having a topset is everyones god given right in this place. And if you can
not do it in the way you like to do it, something is wrong with the system.
Both Soulleech and Rancor is proclaiming that they do not have any interest
in doing equipment parties, but still feel it highly unfair that they cannot
buy all the pieces they want, when they want it, for a topset. I very simply
ask: Why? Would you think I was reasonable if i wrote public notes about
being frustrated about not having 200m gold in the bank, and that some
system needs to be set in place (alternatively disabled) so I too could have
a big fat account. And in addition arguing that the fact that I'm refusing
to gold has noththing to do with it? Or another one: I could write about how
totally unfair it is that I don't get a 150-200k/min xp rate while doing eq.
The fact that you don't want to do eq is obviously totally your own
descision. But I won't pity you for not getting everything you want for gold.
You know very well where you need to begin to improve your situation.

This adresses some other (to me) interesting point of veiw. How do you think
people get into eq parties? How do you think these parties are initiated? In
a game where equipment gets into the game solely by killing monsters or
winning events (at least there are no other significant sources I recall
from the top of my head.) how did you come to the conclusion that it is
'somebody elses' responsibility to make the items YOU want available to YOU?
(appoligy in advance, but to me this is analog to a kid deperatly wanting a
can of coke, then whining and moaning to his mom for not providing it to
him. When he's very capable of walking over to the fridge at get it himself.)
Are you responsible for providing me with xp and gold? Thought not. Then I
can not see why it is anyones responsibility to make eq available to you
either.
A group of players with 200-500m worth can perfectly well do up to midbie eq.
At least from 1.5g worth, you can perfectly well fill any role in any eq
party.
The only things that are impossible are the things you have fixed in your
mind as impossible.

You all are offtrack I think in all of this. Who cares about sales
who cares about the petty arguement that this has turn into between
the tps whores and the exp whores. Point is the tps whores are
happy with the situation right now(or so it seems) which is a very
good thing. When it comes down to it the exp whores(myself
included) are looking for a viable way to repair our equipments max
condition without having to eq for the pyro's.
We used to have a choice. And while I dont completely agree with
the current situation of the repair of equipment in the mud as we
speak I dont really think that sales market is responsible or going
to fix what is actually needed.
We have a blacksmith guild. Why cant they repair the max condition
of the equipment. Obviously at a higher cost in mats to the gear.
Why are pyros so rare that I cant get ahold of any without doing
equipment. before I took a long break none went up for sale. there
are still none up for sale which is fine that the people doing eq
are using them for thier own eq. But why cant I have a viable way
of repairing my own gear like you do while enjoying an aspect of the
game that does not involve eq. I am not asking for topslot eq to be
on sales. I am not saying you cant sac eq.. I am saying why cant I
repair my gear without having to change sets, reinc, dice pyro's
repair my gear and reinc again.
PS. I want to buy Pyro's (prove me wrong and sell me some)

I'm sure this has been suggested in the past and, if it has, this is
not a suggestion but a plea for someone
to reiterate the issue to me.
I'm wondering why, other than obvious physics, there is no way to
get looted items onto my floating disc
other than to solidify. This uses up a relatively large sp ammount
in relation to my spr rate and, quite
honestly is something of a pain in the ass. Perhaps a new spell that
would somehow scoop loot up and place
it on the disc. I'd spend the gold and xp to train such a spell if
it saved me the hassel of solidifying.
Course you'd have to be solid to actually SELL your stuff...
Anyway, any feed back would be awesome. Maybe I'm being nit-picky
but I get paranoid about leaving my
hard-earned loot laying around till I can revert from mist form.
Money's hard enough to come by without being
unable to simply pick up my spoils.

Ok, so, the guild is called _MIST_ Mage, right?
You shouldnt be able to pick up anything, your body is made from
mist, if you dont like the way the guild works, there are plenty of
others out there.

I second that motion. You should know going into the guild you aren't going to be able to pick anything up or you should gain more worth and reinc with a druid secondary for familiars that can pick loot up for you.

Having been mist mage for 2+ years now.. and only recently gaining
the experience to have familiars. I third the vote of quityerbichin.
It's part of the theme and balance to the guild.
Not to mention I find majority of the playerbase to be honest and
trustworthy, enough so I rarely had loots stolen from the ground
before I could get back to them, forget solidifying, just wait it
out.

So yeah, I really dont think he was so much whining and bitching as
making a very reasonable suggestion. He did not say he was mad that
he couldnt pick things up, he suggested making a spell to transport
items from the ground to your disc, which in my opinion would make
total sense, if a mage can create a disc out of thin air, and
control that, why shouldnt he be able to lift items onto the disc?

wow, i think i just said this, and so did two other people.
you cant "lift items onto the disc" because he is made from mist,
which is not a solid form, so thus, he cannot lift the objects.
so, to summarize, mist = not solid

A few small requests for the master enchanter guild, really any of
them would be neat, of course all would be best :)
1) Let mastery of enchanting effect enchanter spells (enchant armor,
protect armor, enlarge weapon, etc)
2) Add mass enchant spells. I.E. similar to the guardians guild
party shields, so you dont have to enchant 20 pieces one by one
3) Patterns better than minor!
Thanks.

poster: Tranquil
subject: Gab, the Pr0n B0rker
date: Mon Jun 12 16:10:29 2006
I've noticed that Mr. Gab the pawn broker likes to sell things. He also
likes to make some profit from everything he sells. That's good business
sense, and is no doubt great for the Illium tax collectors. However, I
have also noticed that some people are attempting to use his place of
business to sell things that are either a) shopeq (Ie: stuff that clones
in a shop inventory), b) completely statless (ie: has no stats, specials,
respectable ac/wc or any other distinguishing feature), or c) advertised
with a price tag that looks like it belongs on another, far more powerful
piece of equipment.
Now, I have no problem with people trying to sell these sorts of things.
After all, there just might be a market for some of this stuff out there.
However, over time these objects accumulate, and Gab's shop tends to get
clogged with large amounts of these types of items. I'd like to submit a
few suggestions that may help to increase the amount of usable floor
space in Gab's shop, so that people with low dexterity will not live in
fear of tripping over the rotting corpses of dead Smees every time they
step inside it.
Suggestion 1: Limit what Gab will sell.
This has been ever-so briefly suggested before, however I have expanded
on the idea to address several factors that were only discussed on
channels following the time the original idea was posted.
Gab would only accept something if it met _at least one_ of the
following requirements:
a) Boosts at least 1 stat, skill, or spell;
b) Possesses some special ability (as recognised by the eqstat daemon);
c) Possesses a combat special;
d) Possesses a considerable amount of wc or ac (perhaps 50+); or,
e) Is specifically allowed by some tag within the equipment's code (For
all objects with special effects or features that are not recognised
by the eqstat daemon).
This would stop people from clogging up Gab's shop with 'shop' equipment
that no-one will buy. It would also put a stop to the attempts of players
who might otherwise be tempted to try to swindle some unsuspecting newbie
out of his or her hard earned gold piece, by offering 'budget' equipment
that is actually easily obtainable elsewhere for a much lower price.
Suggestion 2: Limit the length of time Gab will attempt to sell items.
In the current system, if an item was placed in Gabs shop for resale at a
price that is substantially above the current market value of the item,
then two things happen. First, no-one wants to pay the high price, so the
item adds to the general clogging of Gab's inventory. Secondly, anyone
who has the same item but wishes to offer it at a lower price is
prevented from selling it through Gab, because another identical item is
already offered for sale there - regardless of the fact that the new
seller wishes to offer it at a lower price.
By inference, this also means that a dubious player may deliberately clog
up Gab's shop with overpriced equipment to prevent other players from
selling that specific item through Gab.
Putting a sale time limit of perhaps one month onto items sold at Gab's
shop would stop all of the above issues from occurring, or at least stop
them from occurring for extended periods.
Suggestion 3: Expansion to Gab's Sale Time Limit concept.
If suggestion 2 is implemented in its raw form, there is nothing to stop
a player from immediately re-advertising the item that didn't sell, for
the same, or even a higher price. There are several ways to prevent this
from happening.
a) Prevent that specific player from advertising the specific item that
did not sell, for a pre-determined period of time.
b) Prevent any player from advertising the specific item that did not
sell, for any price that is higher than a pre-determined percentage
of the former, unsuccessful sale price (With or without a time limit
to allow for later market fluctuations).
c) A combination of the above.
These restrictions would stop players from trying to intentionally prevent
other players from selling certain items through Gab. This may or may not
be an issue right now, and I am not personally aware of any cases where a
player has _intentionally_ advertised an item at a very high price to
prevent other players from selling that item. However, on a number of
occasions I have seen, for example, Defenders Burning Blade for sale at
Gab's shop for in excess of 200k gold, when I have wanted to sell the same
item for less than one quarter of that price.
I have also seen items offered for sale there at exorbitant prices, that
seem to take forever to leave Gab's shop. When they eventually go, whether
they went by being sold or by being taken off sale by the player is
unknown.
None of these changes will stop any player from asking for a very high
price for any particular item. If an item does sell for that high price,
there's nothing to stop any player from advertising that same item for an
equal or greater price through Gab. However, these changes will assist in
the turnover of Gab's store by preventing the shop from becoming clogged
with useless items or items with insanely expensive price tags for
extended periods.
Further suggestions, constructive critism, or comments are welcome.
Whines should be comprehensively researched and submitted - with all
supporting data - directly to Ixtlilton in mudmails, in single-line form
so as to not confuse him too much.
Thank you, and good day.

Yeah, I received an unkillable bounty (because I couldn't attack it
since I was too small.) and it sucks having to wait three hours to
get another bounty, and I don't want to have to log off for half of
an hour either.
So, I just thought that it'd be cool to get to take on another
bounty hunt if you report your mob as unkillable.
Yes, I know some people may abuse this system, so I thought of a way
that may deter them from doing so.
When they want to report a mob as unkillable, a warning message
should come up and say blah blah blah, if this monster is not
unkillable and you continue to abuse this system, you may be
temporarily frozen as the wizards see fit.
It could work, and it'd be much more enjoyable doing bounties. Heck,
even if that doesn't work, how about having two bounties that you
could try?
Loading up on more than two would be impractical and newbs would be
gaining worth like crazy, but I don't see the harm in just having
one extra bounty. Chances are it's going to be too big anyway. xP

I don't see the need for putting a lof of work into how Gab
works. But restricting a little bit might be a nice idea.
Suggestion 1: Pick an eqstat level which is the minimum Gab
will bother to try to sell for you. I suggest the same level
as Eje has as minimum.
Suggestion 2: Leave it as it is. Clutter at Gab isn't THAT
much of a hassle .)

The point of bounties is not so you can just go kill some mob that you can usually kill and go back to the hunter for a reward. If it was like that, no one would xp. There's a point in giving you bigger mobs so you don't just get easy xp.

I've got another idea. Instead of restricting Gab, since a pawn shop should have some shadiness to it, how about giving Gab the Identify ability and just make it cost like 10% of the asking price. For all those 10k-50k items, 10% shouldn't be that hard to get a hold of.
I for one am against restricting Gab, especially since we have a player controlled economy here.

I agree with you that the bounty system has its flaws, but based on
comments from the wiz staff in the past they appear to dislike
systems which require constant enforcing. Opening up a way for
people to blatently abuse bounties would require the wiz's to spend
a lot of time babysitting it, time which could be much better spent
on other projects. Like countless other things in the past it would
only be a matter of time before it starts getting blatently abused.
It sucks when you get an undoable bounty but it is one of the
necessary evil's of the bounty system. When that happens you are
best off jus reporting the bounty unkillable and exping as normal
for the next few hours.

I'm not sure bounties were designed with low levels in mind - their
range of killable mobs is somewhat restricted, as is often their
knowledge of areas and where mobs are.

Bounties were totally designed for low levels. In fact, bounties are
way better for them. A complete new scrub of a player can kill a 130
exp mob and get a 40k reward. Yeah they do get some largeish
bounties but a whole lot of them are doable and very worth it.

Allow me to rephraise. The point I was trying to explain was that
bounties are much more effective for low levels than high levels.
Newbies can recieve bounties with rewards upwards of 300 : 1 ratio,
whereas larger players can except to see something like 2 : 1. I
misspoke in saying that is the design intent, though that was not
the point I was attempting to make. Either way, it is obvious that
bounties are much more lucrative to low end players.

Just to follow up on Wag's comments - I tried a whole lot of
bounties when I created a new secondary (I swear he's registered
Zif, don't nuke me).
Of all the bounties I received, the only one I have found killable
has been a demon from the motel on Odd World. At 12k, yes, that's
doable, but that's the smallest mob I have received.
Yes, bonuses are better for you (in relative terms) if you're a
newbie. But the likelihood of obtaining a bounty you can actually
kill is a lot smaller.

When the bounty system was first introduced, I did some testing on
my primary and secondary characters. My findings were that bounties
were a fantastic way to earn exp as a newbie, but weren't great for
exp as a highbie. However, they were also a great way to get bonus
equipment as a midbie or above, particularly if you are a deather.
Several months later I attempted to play my secondary as I had
during bounty testing, and found that the bounty monsters I was
given were almost always far too large to kill. We're talking a
minimum of 30k for a level 24 player, with an average mob worth of
about 80k.
Whether this was an intentional change, I do not know. However, the
change did greatly affect my usage of the bounty system, to the
point that if I do play my secondary, I don't bother with bounties.
I can see someone who is a level 1 warrior with maxxed attack and at
least a pair of warp blades making some exp from the bounty system
as it exists today, but I doubt there are many such players around
these days.
Overall, I agree that the bounty system _was_ more useful to
newbies. That's probably within balance, since the more worth you
have the easier it is to increase that worth. However, apart from
midbies seeking eq bounties, it seems to me that the present
incarnation of the bounty system is almost superflous.

Maybe have a 5 or 10 lvls guild in druid, Master Herbalist.
Could have mastery to protection potions and balms from dropping on

I have found that training masteries in Herbalist to be very
effective when it comes to finding Athelas. You can't choose which
herbs you find, and there's still some randomness as to what you do
find. Even with herb gathering and the three skills from Herbalist
trained to 110%, I find there's still about a 10% chance of getting
a non-athelas herb. Of course, this won't help you find non-athelas
herbs at all. However, since Athelas is better than any of the other
herbs, you might be better off just training it and dealing with the
10% chance of not getting what you wanted. =)

you know, i have herb lore (the one that affects what you get) at
100%, and i probably get the dark herbs about 80-85% of the time.
you don't need it at 110 to have a good chance of getting something
useful.
and the athelas are better than browns, yellows, or greens. i get
more sps from athelas than browns every time.

skills command has only 1 possible argument that prevents listing of
low-trained skills. it would be nice to have another argument that
would list only these low-trained skills.
as an example: skills -50 would list all skills trained to 50% or less
another argument could list only 1 guild (skills warrior) or 1
guildtree (Warrior)
the same applies to command "spells"
also, listing only 1 guildtree would prevent migrating common skills
from 1 guild to another, like attack or whirlwind attack etc.

Some other suggested improvements:
The display order of guilds could be fixed (showing primary guilds
first, then secondary, then tertiary, etc)
The guild name could be shown in the score_headings colour
possibly also change 'report ' to
accept args allowing players to report skills over/under a certain
percent

Not a bad idea, but as a stopgap for the interim, you could use
potion bags, herb pouches, etc. I find that items that save normally
save over logins within these bags, though herbalist herbs and
potions will not.

poster: Chrono
subject: Party Quests w/ Solo Rewards
date: Tue Jul 18 01:52:50 2006
Something that always bothered me while I played here was that there
were some changes made to some of the party quests that made them
give only one person of the party the task point reward.
I don't recall why the changes were made exactly, but I believe it
was because people who done a particular quest were dragging people,
who haven't, through the quests for whatever reason. And while the
"party required - solo reward" staves off this problem somewhat, I
think it creates a larger problem of people not wanting to go out
and do a party quest because of the fact that only one of the people
will get the reward.
While I don't think all the quests must give the whole party a
reward, because some of them were probably designed with one person
getting a reward in mind.. I do think that some of the changes that
were made could be reversed without being particularly harmful
towards the mud and would actually encourage some people to gather
and do the party quests because it would be a much less daunting
task.
Or really maybe just a different solution all together that I can't
really think of at the moment. And for refrence, what I'm thinking
of are quests such as the Clayborne Necklace.

it is my personal opinion that tithing isn't meant to be something useful.
i mean, there are certain circumstances when it is slightly useful... but not
so much because you need it. more because it allows you to be lazy.
rather, i think tithing is just something that was coded as a fun ability
in the game for weavers.
as far as adding the ability to bards, bards already get rogue tunnels.
if an evoker wanted a fast way to adv (via a spell), they'd join nav
without really
thinking twice about it. considering they'd need 3 levels and you'd
need only 1
weaver level, it's a good tradeoff... though spending a massive amount of exp
at a higher level so that your targetted recipient can avoid going
to one of the
8 banks in the game is kind of silly.
bard songs last a while, i'm sure the 2 minute trip would barely be missed.

to be honest, weavers are people who are very pious, and have the
favours of the gods.
while in certain cultures, bards were actually more heavenly than
clerics and holymen,
bards here are more like entertainers. i see no reason for the gods
to grant favour
to bards enough to carry gold to them.
also, the term 'tithing' refers to people who would pay a sort of
tax to the church,
whether out of piety or just trying to get a good name for themselves.

Moved this here just because I wanted to reply where everyone
could see it.
As nice as this would be the fact of doing it would be a nightmare with
respect to the way the parser works. the driver has no concept of what
'kept' is thats purely something the mud code knows about.
to make the driver know what kept is would be a nightmare because
of the complexity of the parser and the fact that there is no
documentation.
We could do it in the mud itself but what would result is really confusing
error messages (like we do not have enough of those already).
I guess what I am saying is that it would end up causing
more issues than its worth.

If you wanted to remove the spam, you could try just gagging any
line that includes the pattern ']: Marked as kept." Of course, that
would stop you from seeing things that are kept but shouldn't be,
but the effect would be identical to being able to 'drop unkept

As cool as it is to make a lava necklace with 24 hpr, 14 con and +10 bladed fury, it's kinda useless for elementals.
It would be nice if either the fighter stuff was removed or players could select a guild to make eqs for. I mean, considering mages are the only guild on the mud that don't learn attack...i'm not sure why they make eqs with doublehit.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but +10 bladed fury kind of underscores the nature of the disconnect.

I had this wacky idea that maybe, just maybe... this could be
something rather interesting.
As we progress in our guilds, we gets stats, resists, and damages...
What if we were able to _choose_ what stats, resists, and damage
types we receive once we gain that certain rank in the guild.
I understand the random stats added to our persona but, I believe
that this would make the guilds alittle bit more customizable to our
own choosing.
If not that, what if we were able to choose what stats, resists, and
damage types once we reinc into that guild.

Wouldn't most people just choose the same stats in that guild - ie
weaver types would take wis/spr?

Exactly! That's what makes it neat! If we were able to choose what

rank is meaningless. you can easily get 4th rank by making a
secondary, joining a guild, a few months. i've done it in woodsman
guild.
mastery is a tricky thing to play with, since setting a particular
number of mastery points would be very silly.
-----------------
poster: Tranquil
subject: >>Guild items
date: Sun Sep 17 10:06:49 2006
a) Guild Rank and Guild Mastery are not the same. The latter
contributes to the former, but the former also includes one
affecting yet completely irellevent factor.
b) As Fox has stated, the ability to choose where to add particular
stats would offer some customisation that guild equipment does not
currently allow. This does not mean that Weaver types won't take
wis/spr, but it does mean that some Weaver types would probably
choose wis over holy resist, or damage Warriors might take str/dex
over con, for example.
c) The basic idea seems sound, however it is as yet incomplete.
As inside has noted, giving a set amount of mastery points to each
player would be silly. However, one way of calculating how many
points one gets to spend on guild equipment would be to base it off
the players' guild mastery points. From there, each guild equipment
could be given a set of stats/abilities/resists that points could be
invested in, and a list of costs proportional to the amount of
'guild points' that are already invested in each of these bonuses.
The tricky part would be to determine what those costs would be, and
what maximum, if any, one could acheive in those abilities.
As it stands now, I believe that guild equipment bonuses are capped
for each guild. For most players this would not be an issue, as most
players don't stay in a guild long enough to gain enough mastery to
max their guild equipment bonuses. However, as I recall, the entire
point of guild mastery and guild equipment was to reward those
players who stayed in a guild for a considerable amount of time.
Perhaps time spent consequtively in the guild should then count
slightly towards the points one can spend.
All of that said, guild equipment does need some balancing. Ranks
were balanced several years ago, so that each guild has 7 ranks, and
can get its guild equipment when joining the beta (now alpha) guild.
However, the stats offered by guild equipment itself does not share
balance between the different guilds.
For example, some guilds give insane bonuses to several useful
stats, as well as bonuses to many masteries and/or resists, while
others give middling bonuses to some useful stats, a few masteries,
and perhaps some other less relevent bonuses.
One comparative example is Necromancer vs. Woodsman. The guild
equipment of one well-known Necromancer offers a total of 30% across
8 masteries - most of which are bravo level, as well as 180 stat
points spread over several stats, only one of which might be argued
as irellevent. In comparison, a maxxed out Woodsman guild equipment
offers a total of 10% spread equally between only 2 masteries - one
gamma and one omicron, a total of only 100 stat points spread over 5
stats - 30 of which are in 2 stats that can be argued as superflous,
15% cold resist - which it could also be argued is superflous, and
10% physical resist. In addition, the Woodsman guild equipment does
not offer bonuses to one of the most important Woodsman stats,
Wisdom.
Furthermore, Evokers receive resistance to 8 damage types, bonuses
in 3 stats, and only one mastery; Elementals receive bonuses to 4
resists - 3 of which are almost useless, 3 useful stats, and 2
masteries; and Psychics receive strong bonuses to 5 stats, 4
resistances, and 30% bonus percentage points spread over 6
masteries.
Clearly, there is disparity between the bonuses that each guild
equipment offers, and these bonuses should be standardised similar
to the way race bonuses are standardised. That is, each point in a
stat, point in a resist, and percentage to a skill (based on skill
level), should count for a specific value, and each guild equipment
should have a maximum number of points that can be allocated to that
equipment. When that limit is reached, no more stats may be added.
One could argue that since the two more powerful examples of guild
equipment mentioned above are dual-handed weapons, they should
receive twice the allocation points, and this is logical. However,
it should also be noted that some guilds also have other important,
and in some cases necessary, guild-specific equipment. To all
intents and purposes, the bonuses these items offer, and the slots
they fill, should be factored into the bonuses offered by the guild
equipment. Alternatively, this additional but necessary
guild-specific equipment should be assessed for balance, as they
often appear to be pitifully weak when compared to standard
equipment available for the same slot.
All of these issues could be addressed and, possibly, resolved by
redoing the guild equipment bonus system. Personally, I do like the
idea of being able to choose, within reason, which ability bonuses
my guild equipment gives. However, if the existing cap stays in
effect, choosing where these bonuses go will not benefit any player
who is serious about their guild, and thus will not serve the
original purpose of guild equipment.
Further discussion and constructive criticism is welcome. Flames,
whines, and other bitching should be addressed to Snoop.

Fairness isn't the main issue, tuning is.
Tuning to some abstract version of fairness, merely because of

subject: combat text colors
date: Wed Sep 27 17:43:23 2006
I found default combat here very spammy with redundant information.
So I tried to cut it down to the least amount of spam with the most
concise information and ended up with:
Percent - on
Blocks - off
Reporter - off
Number - on
Silent (generic) - off
Silent (start use) - on
Silent (finish use) - on
Silent (words) - off
Silent (skill action) - off
Silent (round) - on
This is a pretty clean setup, with only one problem left. It is all
one color w/o any
line spacing or anything for the eye to pickup on. The 'colors'
command allows you to
config colors for just about everything except combat! Which is odd
since we're doing
combat most of all.
So here's my suggestion to make this interface easier to read and
follow. Either allow
us to set color for our hits, or our enemies hits, or put a line
space between rounds or
just make a default color difference in there somewhere.
If you want to go further, even better would be to possibility to
set our hits and miss
messages to different colors. Then it's easy for the eye to pick
out the lines where
the mobs hit us for example, which is the most important bit of
information to have.
Thanks for any consideration.

Interesting? Adding stats is _interesting_?
Now, if they occasionally gave you Mercury poisoning, that'd be
interesting. Perhaps if, every now and then, one threw a hook
out on land and tried to catch you, _that_ would be interesting.
Heck, if eating them gave you the ability to understand animals,

My first thought was you might be overthinking this a bit,
my second thought was that your log evidence consisted of only 1 datapoint.
you should provide more than 1 datapoint to prove your premise.
Finally, it seems to me that it would be a lot of bother for someone
to have coded an alignment-adjusted algorithm into a skill,
thus I must remain skeptical.... and nude.

Proxima sent the following reply to my mailbox, I think he meant
to include it in the general discussion, so i'm posting it for him
(p.s. ffr use T to reply to posts... T rules)
My take on this skill is that it drops after you've taken a set
number of melee hits.
I.E., Chi of Yin (there's another one too, maybe one of the
from|skills?) might go up for 500 melee hits,
which is only 10 seconds on a mob like lloth or possibly half an
hour in birds.
Anyways,
I don't think it's duration based.

You know, it really would be cool if you could be walking along

And you could like, 'get hook' or maybe 'get ' in
order to get 'caught' by it, and then get transported to a room
with some funny fish mob in it. Like, either some wimpy thing
that attacks you, or some big EQ fish mob that laughs at you for
falling for your own trick. Either way, it would be cool. It could
say "Too small" and throw you back if you're a newbie, or enter

with earth grants you more hp and physical defense in that form of
body of nether, or body of nether with water gives you enhanced
regen. Maybe even make it useable with mist and lava forms like mist
helps regen and adds ress, and lava could up spell dmg and maybe the
body could return dmg of whatever dtype your attuned to. Just some
ideas to make lava and mist have use with nether and give the gamma
bodies a bit more tie in to the omicron guild while making body of
nether versatile.

It would be pretty cool if mails would autodelete after x number of
days unless explicitly marked as saved. I know that I have a bad
habit of not deleting mails, and as a consequence have 669 mails,
the earlies of which is from Jun 17 2002.

Debated this before. People usually kick and screem.
d 1-699 will solve your issue though.
