We don't have a flame group anymore so this had to go in general.
Back when mana drain first started being used a lot, lots of people
were whining about it, and some other people said not to whine, it's
only 20 sp or so, and it doesn't happen all the time.
Now though some people have started to abuse mana drain, doing it at
least once a minute and draining 60 or more sp per cast. Personally
this is detrimental to me when I am haiming, because haim costs me
296 sp, and I tock 321 with all my eq on, so sometimes I won't even
break even on it. With the constant drains however it takes a very
short time for me to tap out and have to regen for quite some time
to get back up to a working amount of sp, as I am being drained
during the regen too.
Mana drain certainly was not a big problem the first time around.
You really did only get drained 20 or less sp, and it didn't happen
very often. There should be a restriction on the amount of sp that
can be drained from each person, dependent on spmax, and a much
longer casting time to prevent chain drains.

how about a version of mana drain that only works on the party you
are in at the moment, thus you can drain the mana of the fighters, etc
without upsetting the other people who have to wait ages to restore
thier mana.
This then gives the regening player a choice whether or not to help
out the drainer ro just regen.

If mana drain was cheaper it could drain less.
Now it can drain about 800sps but it costs 380sps to cast.
If it costed perhaps 250sp less and drained 250sp less
you whouldn't be affected as much and harmers could still
have about the same rate.

How about giving a skill that would allow a player, casters, to
avoid some of the drain. This way alot of the drain would come from
fighters,thiefs,ma's.
Personally, i think changing the spell it self is stupid. All chars
have skills and if you are not useing that skill/spell, what is the
sence to have it.
I noticed in inform it was downed, i just think we make to many
tunes cause players whine so damm much.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I lost my equip yet again in yet another crash and although
Athena has kindly reassured me it will be reimbursed, it was just
think %^CYAN%^Tick%^RESET%^
the last straw on a number of things for me so alas it is
time to move on.
I don't believe in big goodbyes and anyone that's heard my
opinions on the permanency of 'suicide' knows this WILL be final.
Take care all, anyone that I might want to hear from already
knows where to find me should they wish to.

Its not a matter of caring or not, if you rnot happy here, talking
you out of suiciding isnt goign to make any difference, in 2 weeks
you will again be unhappy here.
Sure I want all the players we can have, however I don't want
players that are that unhappy here to hang around for no reason,
shrug again its not that I dont care, its just that if your nto
happy here your not happy here, i can accept that.

As a creator of a game, would you rather have someone here that is
unhappy being here? I for one don't want that, and I would think
the majority of the people here don't. So if you don't like it here
get out and don't let the connection closed packet hit ya on the butt
on the way out.

When lasher suicided, he gave away pieces of a caster set
that did not belong to him.

It would be nice if you would return them to me.

Amazing how people will trample all over your grave the
minute you're gone.
FYI Uno, *MY* caster set was given to no-one, it was lost in a
crash and awaiting restore at the time I suicided. However, the set
WAS 100% mine. The only questionable item was the Blackmon
plate that I bought from you for 3.5m and then you returned
the 3.5m, to me that is a gift, not "someone else equipment". The
rings/gloves I traded with Caltrix and the rest of the
Blackmon stuff, mask I got from EQ parties.
I heard a wiz might reimburse the items anyways, they were mine,
I suicided with them, they are gone. If you want to reimburse the
platemail go ahead, the rest is history. Grr, and do think I
donated 4m to the clan just before suiciding.

Bad bad bad Uno! You try to fool a player who might have gotten
Lasher's eq? You are guessing he gave it away, and try to get your
dirty fingers on it yourself because no one would get to know it?

I don't know what the hell is going on here: Im rarely around.
What I DO know, however, is that it is ALWAYS better to find out WTF
is going on, for sure, before writing a post of condemnation.
People get bitchy, and stress goes up.
Take care of stuff like this in private mail, or tells. If you
still think the person needs a public whipping, THEN post it.
I've seen too many people get into spats like this, here and
elsewhere (IRL).

I'm going to defend Uno here. I am sure that like me, he has loaned out
eq to a various number of people and have seen people sell it, lose it
or suicide with it on. He probably thought he loaned the eq to Lasher
(we highbies are old and memory is first to go) and Lasher wasn't around
to ask. He made an honest mistake and if informed would probably be cool
about it.
Instead Lasher seemed to have taken it as an attack on him and people are now
bashing Uno.
Chill out.

I agree with Phire here, I don't think that Uno was intentionally
trying to scam equip out of anyone - there have been several times
in the past where the silly confused moose thought some piece or
other of my equip was his (usually something he had loaned to
Caltrix, was always getting us confused).
However, like Phire said, better to check than to write
general notes giving someone a bad rep, specially when you don't
think they're around to defend it :)

huoh, just got done reading all the flames...
sorry bout that,
don't take it personal
i conducted a cursory investigation and was really
only interested in results.
I didn't think lasher was around to get his feelings
trampled, so it didn't occur to me to be discreet.
many apologies,

I think it's a time for review in etiquette when asking for heals:
a) When a healer says they're busy, it means the healer is
buys...tithing them, or reporting your hps to them will not change
the fact that the healer is busy...
b) If you tithe randomly expecting a heal without asking first,
there is a good chance you won't get one...
c) We're not your personal heal slave, no you don't have the right
to flip off on a healer if they don't heal you every 10 seconds...
That's all

id have to say i agree with javi in this case.
just yesterday, i was soloing, and in need of a dheal. Tistoo was
the only confessor on at the time, and he was partying, but after
asking nicely, he did consent to 1 dheal.
thats more than he had to give, so im happy, but for those of you
who spam the healers with requests, its not just you that dont get
heals, its the rest of us too.
ive been a confessor myself, and ive been on the recieving end of
dheal spam requests, and i can tell you, youll get nothing from
them, at the most, youll get ignored.
in addition to that, you give the healers in question a major dose
of the sh*ts, and they just might decide to stop dhealing anyone at
all, which does no-one any good.
just be patient and reasonable, and dont get the poops if you dont
get a heal, remember, the mud is for everyone, not just you.
just my 2 cents worth

subject: Adepts

For all of those of you thinking about going animist - adepts
Sigwald was not bullshitting about adepts being costly. I am
worth 333meg at the time of this post got all guilds maxed except
for herbalist nothing trained in there and got adepts to like
85% skills and 80% spells. So consider this a warning for those
with less worth than me you will have a MUCH harder time in these
guilds than I did. Now that being said i find these guilds to
be pretty cool atm. Haven't tried out adepts yet, but am about to.
Animist offers a little bit of everything. They are not a tank
or full out blaster or healer but can do a little of both. They
are pretty cool in my opinion. My only concern is to see how they
interact with other guilds and parties etc...

Updated animist training costs again because I screwed up and fed my
update program garbage data the first time. Costs really haven't
changed as much as I thought. (crystal efficiency dropping from 2920
to 524 did seem a *little* much)
Sorry about that. =)

subject: Eq Parties and Me
date: Sat Jan 29 21:29:06 2000
Ok, just a few notes about me and eq.
1. Its highly unlikly i will do eq on weekends. I often have company
and i thinks its rude to leave them for the period of time it takes
to do eq.
2. If you want me to tank an eq party on the weekdays i am avilable,
i dont mind, however, please be prepared. Nothing is worse then
takeing 10-20 min to deciede what to kill next.
3. When i do eq, i will state the aprox number of hours the party
will last, if you want into that party be prepared to stay until the
end. If you can not stay til the end, then you get no dice.
4. Going ld repeatedly while doing eq is not fair to the people who
are doing that eq. If you have to go ld repeatedly, then you
shouldnt be doing eq. I am talking about people going ld for 10 plus
minutes, not connection problems.
5. Dont arguee with the party, there is nothing worse then listening
to people tell other members how stupid they are, or constant
bickering.
6. If you are under level 50, then you will probly not be in one of
my eq parties. So dont bother begging and repeated asking. Generally
if we need another member for eq, we will ask them, so please
refrain from repeated tells to the tank.
These are a few basic things i think everyone needs to know about me
and my eq parties.
Thanks,
-Cloudy

They got tuned down as a side effect way back when the standard

Since you can choose your sex when you craete your character, or
have it later adjusted, I think the question number one is foobar.
Qualifications are that you've played long enough to know the place
and some people and be able to and most important willing to talk to
and listen. Dedication. There's not been so many good player reps
around. So go for it all...

Uhhh welll, yes, we can have a female player rep. Seems to me that

All kidding aside. Player rep requires time taken away from your own
play time to help the players and wizzes when they need it. It takes
patience and a knowledge of the mud. At times, alot of patience.

TRUE STORY: HOW ABOUT TACO BELL (PUT DOWN THE CHALUPA!)
This girl was really in a hurry one day so she just
stopped off at Taco Bell and got a Chicken soft taco and
ate it on the way home.
That night she noticed her jaw was kind of tight and swollen. The
next day it was a little worse so she went to her doctor.
He said she just had an allergic reaction to something and
gave her some cream to rub on her jaw to help. After a couple of days
the swelling had just gotten worse and she could hardly move her jaw.
She went back to her doctor to see what was wrong. Her doctor had
no idea so he started to run some tests.
They scrubbed out the inside of her mouth to get tissue samples and
they also took some saliva samples. Well, they found out what
was wrong. Apparently her chicken soft taco had a pregnant roach in
it, then she ate it
------------------------------
the eggs then somehow got into her saliva
glands and well, she was incubating them. They had to remove a
couple a layers of her inner mouth to get all the
eggs out. If they hadn't figured out what was going on,
the eggs would have hatched inside the lining of her mouth !
She's suing Taco Bell! Of course. If you need to find out more about
this, it's in the November 19th issue of the New York Times. If
you still want
Taco Bell after this one, you're really brave.

And Barbie's shirt would be a parka if it were likewise blown

so to keep Barbie from looking like an Eskimo when clothed,
they had to make her a bit thinner than might be thought.

Ok, i just found out that herb gathering only works outside now.
This affects all higher level players.
I use it to help my clerics out. When any decent party is going on,
there are limited ares to party in.
All highbie areas that have enough monsie in them to make a decent
rate in, are indoors.
Cept maybe snoops new are, which i dont know about that well.
This makes it very hard for 2 big parties to continue at the same time.
Mabye make it so areas that in a sence at least are outside,
Dragons, i know there are in a cave, but things do grow in caves.
Please consider this, or maybe create other areas with a decent
amount of monsies in them, that are outside.
Thank you,

I must agree with Apathy on the above comment. I'm a drow, so I'm

I don't think Cloud was knocking the idea that harmers need an area
too, he was just saying that there aren't any outdoor, herbable
and xp areas besides the paladins, which is unaccessable if you
have people in your party that need to stay 'good' aligned.

After the resent changes the traveler guild has been drastically
downgraded. If the mud at all times should be logical I find it
strange that you can build a fire in every indoor room.
The herbs could be kept longer that would help, so you could gather
some before you go indoor. If this needs to be more logical add a
herb preservation auto skill.

But there are still lots of "herbs" growing underwater, thus one should
be able to use herb gathering.

Well I *was* being sarcastic to get a point across. I'm sure
there are plenty of other inconsistencies that can never
be fully ironed out unless someone goes into every single room
individually and sets flags for herbs/fires. (Unlikely to happen).
I get the feeling this isn't over yet so in spite of whining
earlier I'll wait and see before offering anymore opinions :)

@ things here. Then ill shut up:)
1. It is very common for fires to be inside castles, caves, tents
and so. Im not sure if i heard right, but i read that firebuilding
is only an outdoor skill.
2. Think of possibly this, Ok, its unlikely that you would find
sticks to make a fire indoors, but maybe traveler guild could have a
skill for collecting wood outside, the take with you so you can make
a fire inside.
If there is enough oxagen to walk around and breath, then there
should be enough to make a fire.
I'll probly think of other things as i get flamed:)

Hello, I just have some feedback on the new tune to herb gathering
(outdoor use only)... I sure there is a good reason for this, I just
know that effects not only me, but ALOT of players -now-... I know
there are highbie areas in the making.... umm... that doesnt help us
much now. This is what i think... Alot of players (including
myself), have almost based there reinc's arround getting, and useing
herb gathering. With the addition to the skill herb preservation, it
looks like it would help alot.... BUT, that skill is a level 9
skill. Alot of players that use herb gathering do not have 9 levels
in travelers guild. I know, all i need is to get 1 guild level, but
i need 86m to do that (thats alot even for me)... Another way for me
to get it is to reinc (again) for the second time in 2 weeks (~20%
tax). maybe lower that skill to lvl 8, and have alot less ppl
whining about it, or a free reinc.
Once again, i think this tune was for a good reason (unknown to
mortals). Im looking forward to the outdoor highbie solo areas.

If you cant build a fire in doors because you cant find enough
sticks and stuff for fuel, why not have the travelers guild (and/or

take the fuel with you. After all setting up a fire in a hut or cave

I am guessing here as I tend to stay out of that whole issue,
however I would assume that all wishes/tp's are staying as is.
as for the unfair part, i have always felt it was unfair to begin
with. At least now you can get a greater and lesser with without
having to donate. Perhaps we can come up with a few more things
along those lines.

We've got few plans (Mixer's my leading star in this:), let's hope
we get this thro. It will give possibility of compensation. But
prolly the ones who've donated (those people aka as the people who've

Here it goes.
I have spoken to some people and i have tried small
parties, 2-3 people parties and i think that at the
moment the exptuner affects the highbies badly.
There are only a few places where exp parties can
do exp and as it is now real parties can't do exp
there either cause the worth on those monsters
drop so low it's meaningless. Now you say look
at the tunes command. There are more monsters
above 100% then below, but i just say that there
are a so many newbie monsters that up those numbers
that the fact that all the good highbie exp areas
dissapear, dragons, paladins and maybe something else.
So now for a highbie to do exp they will have to either solo
which i think is the best expwise, but boring, or do small
parties with 2 ppls. I kind of miss the days when there were
real exp parties with tank, abj, healer etc. Parties with 5-6
members doing much better exp then people soloing. IMHO i think
parties should always do better then soloers. But maybe thats just me.

What does it go by? just curious, monsies over 1k? or is it higher.
I to like bigger parties, and i was doing dragons when reds were
worth 170k the other day
I have also seen sidhes at 90k in the morning, but 56k that after
noon. Im not sure if i could suggest a better way, other then maybe
a higher limit.
Like maybe tuning down a max of 20%? red worth 270 could be as low
as 226 or so.
Just a thought, dont put me on the cross yet:)

Nods, the tune seems to be a bit quick. It happens near every day
that a couple of parties during the day tune the monsters down below
2/3 of their worth, and then they recover fully over the night.
A big benefit for people that have time to do exp in the
moring/early day actually.
Furthermore i think everyone doing highbie exp knows all highbie exp
places by now, so it ain't pushing us to explore so much now, as it
was before.
It's just making us refuse people to join our partys, and grr to
people in other partys.

but then go and invite others as well who arent in clan
If you wanna use the excuse clan only then stick to it
and if you dont want someone cuz you dont like em, have the

Id much rather hear - No I dont want to party with you

hehe, i believe this is in referance to me. If i decide to make an
aliance with another clan, thats up to me, if i deciede to have
honorary members thats up to me also.
And if i just plain dont like you and want to say its a clan party,
well, thats up to me again.
Bitch all you want jaws, point is, if its someone elses party and
they wanted you, you wouldnt have to ask in the first place.

Have to agree with Cloud on this one. When I was smaller I'd sit
around twiddling my thumbs and making food, waiting for someone
to ask to party with me. Generally it worked.
If it didn't, well, there's always soloing. Not the funnest thing
in the world to do, but better than making a lot of enemies
bugging random people to party.
Definitely better than posting whiney notes about people being
hypocrites because they try to politely tell you not to ask
if you can join their party. You picked the wrong person
to whine about, Cloudy's one of the most newbie tolerant and friendly
people I've met. It's even sometimes borderline annoying how much
slack he gives them. ;)
Of course, now that I'm bigger, I still get to sit around, making
food, waiting for people to ask me to party. *shrug* One of the
prices you pay for being non-tankish.

ps. Didn't check, but if you *are* tankish, then make your own
party, and ask other people to join.

I think the point is, if you don't want to party with someone, just tell them.
When you get told that the party is a clan party then you see them taking
in non clan people, it's insulting.
I find this whole thing funny, since I almost never party with my clan mates
and I don't care what clan you are in when considering if I want to let
someone in my party. Perhaps I should now.

well guys and gals if you think about it, cleric trainees aren't
just for harmers looking to get evil again, there are some races too
like vampire that need them to get evil too. I personally love to go
in there after i get slightly good, which of course curses me for
not following the dark god's way.which totally reduces stats and
such..and they're a good source for turning evil and there's not
that much wrong with them, i must've waited 20 minutes for them to
repop and that would probably the same time it would take me to get
my alignment back down to evil..if i was killing something else..i
really don't see what the problem is..

Bleh. Can't understand the 'highbies' bitching and moaning about
exptuner and how it effects their rate etc. Well by the looks of it
we are leaving easyexp time still. Never seen so many newbies rocket
the exp plaque not to speak of 'highbies' getting hundreds of megs.
When I started to play here again in last summer for the next 6
months I didn't see people get the amounts of exp they get nowadays.

Im not saying the tuner is too hard,
just that it is too fast, both upwards and downwards.
Something's wrong when i do 95k/min in mornings, and
70k/min in the evenings, with a healer, and it's the same
thing day after day.
And talking about last summer, it was not harder to do exp then,
rather noticable easier in many ways.
Also people i watched got at least as much exp then as now.

Nods, this is what i was talking about also. We have a heavier
player base in the afternoon, evening, then over night, early
morning.
So, people who play during the day, are much more affected overall.
Personally, i would reather see monsies worth downed over all, and
be fair to all players no matter what time of the day they can
play.
If i sidhe for instance is going to be worth 60k all the time, it
affects all the players, no matter what time they play.
Just seams that would affect all players, and not just the people
who play at a time when the mud is more active.

Ok, a few notes on parties.
I get sick of allways being asked by newbies, lowbies to join my parties.
People who had played here a while, and have gotton some worth realize
that normally if a party is going, and that party is makeing a good rate
chance are they dont need more members. I could count on 1 hand the number
of times i have asked to join another party. If you are a player without
alot of worth, meaning 100m or less, and i bring you into a party that
is makeing a decent rate, then all i am doing is taking exp away from good
players so i can DRAG you. Chances are if you think my rate is good, it
is because you cant get that kind of rate. If you cant get that kind of
rate it is because you do not have the worth to be able to get that kind of
rate. People think highbies stick together, well, i can tell you, i can
count count the number of times highbie asked to join my parties on 2
fingers. This is because the players who have the worth, dont want to
be draged. They know if they can pull there wieght, or if they are just
sucking up exp. I dont want to just suck up exp or be draged. I have spent
2.5 years making exp to get my char to where it is today. I worked for
every bit of my exp, and i am proud of that. It's the lowbies that love to
complaine cause someone wont let them into their party. Well, people want me
me to be blunt, so ok, here it goes. IF I WANT TO PARTY WITH ANY PLAYER
UNDER LEVEL 50, I WILL ASK THEM. ALL PARTIY REQUESTS FROM PLAYERS BELOW
LEVEL 50 WILL PROBLY BE IGNORED. I am telling you ahead of time that if
you ask me, im not even going to responed, so dont bother sending me tells
like well, you could at least answer me, im answering you right now. I have
allways tried to be nice and helpful to lowbies,newbies and so on, so if
i am being a dick now, you have people like jaws to thank for it.

Jeeeze people shut the hell up
Jaws nobody in this mud cares that you are upset about not getting into
the party for whatever reason. Frankly while I personally think that
'clan' parties are bs at least he gave you a reason. I used to be one of
the top players here and got asked by all kinds of people. Can I join
your party. And let me say there is no correct answer if you dont want them.
Because the only answer they wanna hear is 'yes'. You can just
reply 'no' but then you are an asshole.
So it saves more whining from useless people to give them whatever excuse
needed to get them to quit whining.

Look at how these highbies get their exp. There are none of em that
have partied it(more then 3ppls parties at least). What i want is
that parties should ALWAYS get better rate then soloing. Atm the
best way of getting exps is soloing as some caster guild.

Just to let everyone know, and I am sure lots of you really dont
care. But I have lots of people asking me why I dont play Red Dragon
anymore or why I only log on for a few mins a day. It is not because
I am unhappy with the mud or unhappy with someone in general. It is
how ever because, I started a new job. Its a job that I very much
like and I am working my butt off to help make this new company a
successful one. I recently got a promotion and am working hard to
keep my little section of the company running. When I do log on its
usually to read news and say hello to friends. I miss playing Red
Dragon, but I also know that other things need to come first.
I hope that Red Dragon continues to grow, and I hope to find the
time to some day play again. I am going to miss not attending Denver
Mudcon this year but I just dont think I can fit in the time for it.
I am however hopefully going to thru some what of a mudcon here.
Plans are not defenite yet though.

Wel the North East had a nice little snow storm Friday Night and
Saturday morning. I had to drive home 26 miles in it Friday and had
no problem. Saturday morning I crashed into another car.
No one was hurt, and the damage to my jeep is negligable. Wish I
could say the same for the other guy. Basically I was in 4 whel
drive because the roads sucked. I came up on an S curve that I know
is bad. This kid in a pickup was coming the other way.
This curve is also on a hill and I was heading donw. The road curves
40 degrees to the right on the first turn and then 40 to the left on
the next. This happened on the first,
We both saw each other at the same time, and slowed even more than
we normally would. (Hitting that curve at more then 16 MPH in good
weather is dumb. We were both crawling)
As I started down the the hill I tried to move further over to my
side of the road. Problem is the City of Nashua hadn't touched this
road in at least 4 hours and there was a good buildup of snow on it.
This road is also a heavily trafficked back road.
Care to guess what happened? Yep, my wheels lost traction and I slid
into the pickup. It was like the ice berg hitting the titaninc. I
was the ice berg.
Speed at impact couldn't have been more than 2 MPH. I just bounced
along the side of that pickup. When I was able to stop we got out to
check damage and exchange papers. I have a very small dent, hardly
noticable. The pickup wasn't so lucky.
At a guess it's going to be between $2-4000 to repair. I just
scraped along the rightside after hitting just behind the driver's
door.
I spent a fun morning on the phone with my Insurance company. I may
lusck out. Because of the road conditions and the fact the city
hadn't plowed a rod they know is heavily used, the two insurance
companies may decide they each pay for their own cars.
Good for me, bad for then other guy. :-)
Anyway I have to get estimates on my jeep. Worst case I have to
replace a fender. Best case they can pop out the dent.
Wish me luck, I'm going to need it if I'm yo keep my ins. rates
from going out of site.

I'm looking to hopefully do some updating to my eq list this
weekend. That means getting rid of all those negatives and taking
all the stuff from that .txt file and putting it all in the real
list. However, I have a good chunk of stats yet to collect (and I
don't have id anymore).
So if anybody can get me the stats on some of the stuff on that
list, I'd really appreciate it. Or atleast tell me you have said
item, I think I might be able to get it id'ed still.

hrm, ive got a question that doesnt seem to have been addressed yet,
as far as the firebuilding skill being removed from warriors goes
for warriors like me who have poured a fair amount of xp into
firebuilding, and now cant make fires unless we have a box full of
wood, do we get some kind of free reinc or something?
it just seems a little unfair if ive poured about 1 mil xp into it,
and now cant use it unless i buy wood of someone that can get it.
it would also be unfair if we had to reinc out of it and waste a
heap of xp due to this rocking skill being removed from our skills
list

another thing i would like to mention,
is if firebuilding has been taken out of warriors, is there any
chance of removing biofeedback from the knight and berserker guilds,
and putting it where firebuilding was?
since there is no other way for a newbie warrior to solo and heal
himself, it would seem only fair to move it back to newbie lvl, lets
say bio at 14, 1 up from the old firebuilding spot.

if they werent, then i somehow doubt that a knight and especially a
berserker would. actually, i would have been more inclined to take
out bio as its not something that a regular fighting man would do.
however, in the dark ages, many fighting men made campfires, so it
would have seemed more natural to have taken out biofeedback.
either way, now the warrior guild is a little disadvantaged, unless
you have a healer handy or your level is high, say 22 for
biofeedback
it just seems a bit of a jump for any newbies that discard their
newbie status for the benefits of better skills that are available
at higher levels.
im not saying that it should be easy, but personally i think a rate
of 160 xp/min is pretty crap for a lvl 20/glvl 20 warrior worth over
6.5 mil.
it just takes way too long for us warriors to regen without benefit
of any fire or healing skills, or having a healer on tap, which
would just leech any xp we would gain from the lack or need to regen
anyway.

Biofeedback is there to help, and as you are saying, it should not
be there, and if it should not be there, don't complain about it
being too high of a level. Warriors are lucky that they have
healing skills at all, mages and rogues don't, so don't complain.
It's there to help, simply because it can't help you yet isn't
something to complain about. If you wanted to be able to heal
yourself, you should have gone to cleric.

My couple cents that I want to throw in to the biofeedback/fire
building thread:
First off, fire building is not all that expensive to train. If you
actually put a significant amount of your worth into it, then you
trained it too high.
Secondly, if you're only getting 160 xp/min as a level 20 warrior,
you're doing something wrong. My secondary is worth less than 2m at
level 10, and he can solo 1k/min.

I point out the fact that a lvl 10 player canb get into the newbie
areas, whereas a lvl 20 player cant.
that is as it should be, and when i was still lvl 15, i could easily
solo 2k/min. but once you cant enter the newbie ares anymore, you
solo rate drops considerably.
as for being cheap to train, im sure that its a hell of alot easier
for you to get 1 mil xp than it is for me, apathy, and for people
with 6.5 mil worth, 1 mil is still alot to have sitting there.
anyways, it was just a suggestion/question, so theres no need to get
your knickers in a knot :)

Ok, This post is some feedback on the newest tune to multi-classes.
First off i would like to say this is a very decent MUD that i like
comming back to. Thats what makes these post difficult. Ok, my
point is this... what insentive is there to get a second alpha guild
if its just going to suck?. My Second alpha guild is Abjurer, I like
it alot because i can finally protect myself -vs- bigger monsters.
With reducing secondary alpha spells/skill down, what is the point?
I think of it this way... I spend years of play'g to get
spells/skills that are weak? i think it should be the other way
arround, i think you should get what you put in. If you play alot,
you should be more powerfull, not tuned.

I dont think it was directed at you dfalt. When the first started
with sec guild they said they wouldnt be a powerful.
I think a big reason for this is that if a fighter learns mage
skills, they probly wouldnt be as good, simply because a fighter's
mentality is to hack.
I'm dont think it was tuned to the point of uselessness, however,
like hk told me, its a shame when his grap is better then a level 58

Actually, I didn't think about the effect for high worth players
until you pointed in out in such a way. The way I viewed it was that
by putting the cap on, that there is a reason that highbies would be
willing to have exp parties with players worth much less than them,
in that the highbies would just suck up all the exp and the lowbies
wouldn't get anything at all.

Umm, unless I'm mistaken, this was requested by Snoop on behalf of
HK because HK couldn't get a party because he leeched too much xp?

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this
(being a newbie to this, and all).
But I have a bit of a gripe. I'm sure there was a perfectly
valid reason to make the Adventurer's guild a PK-safe place
(I'm assuming that's why we can't cast spells anymore), but it's
also made it so I can't heal people who are hanging out at the
healing tree, at the same time. I don't know if it's possible,
but it would be much more helpful if we could cast -healing-
spells in designated areas.
If not... well then, I'll drag everyone east of the ring shop
or something. =P

Oooh requests =) I request that it be toggleable so that Snoop can
use it and those of us who dont like it wont have to use it. But as
that is unlikely it seems to me that more of the people over 500M
would not like it than those who would. But using this same logic
you could put the cap anywhere you want. How bout 5M instead of
500M cause some low level folks want to be able to give even lower
level folks a larger share of exp I am sure. Nothing personal, the
decision was made for a better reason than I thought, but I still
dont like it and even for those who do like it, it seems wrong to
me.

A few points:
1) It was always intended to be so.
2) When used by harmers with the prayer to grithmal skill and good eq,
greater physical shield was reducing the damage by 76%. That is in addition
to the physical resistance those people already had from the skill and eq
making the actual resistance even higher. Should we had ignored this flaw
even if they had reached 100%?
3) After the change the spell will give about 37% physical resistance. How
can you call such a spell "not powerfull" or "not worth it"? It is simply
"not insane" any more.
4) What use has warrior if you tank alot better with harmer/abjurer combo?
What use has mist mage (that can't join abjuerer)?
5) High level spells already get drastically more powerfull as higher in the
guild levels they get (remember I tuned this not long ago?). Just not
abjurer spells. It is an old political decision to have greater physical
shield so low in the guild to give low worth abjurers a change to get
parties. Unfurtionatly that means it gets available to multiclassing for
which it was far to powerfull.
6) About the 500M party issue. As said a change was requested by several
high level people which found they had problems with getting exp parties
because they sucked alot more exp than they provided the party. It is not
like a 500M guy and a 1G guy is the same now though, it is just more like
the old system where only their level determines the difference in party
share.

Yes, this is a good idea imo. Using the old level-only system for big players
and the newer worth-affecting system for the low players.
BUT, it doesn't work that way now. This is the worth/level system,
which gives level only a small affect, with a 500m-cap. Therefor
neither worth or level makes much influence and the share is more
even than ever.
Example for share between a level 85 and a level 75:
Old level system: 56% - 44%
Newer worth/level system: ~60% - ~40%
Newest cap-system: 53% - 47%
I assume this wasn't your idea, just an unexpected effect from the code.
Correct me if im wrong.

Ah after a long nights sleep, i gotta send some feedback to the last
tune on abjurers.
1) I was SURE secondary spells, skills etc was alot more expensive and
a bit worse then primary, this after have been able to test a few
different multiclass combinations, and compairing them to primary
players spells. Ie my major refresh did cost like 40% more and did
give alot less eps then a level 50 healer..
2) Gphys was to powerful, thanks for the bugghunting and fixing Sigwald
I really hope tanks get blown into peaces when doing eq monsies now
until other prots are being used again...
3) Stats should affect spells,skills etc, if a primary abjurer with 400+
int and wisdom and 112% protection ritual did cast gphys it should be
alot better then if a secondary abj did it.
But should a level 30 abjurer with 80% in the skill,spell and 200 in
stats protect alot better?
4) Last time i was a rogue/abjurer, my gphys wasnt worth using, guess
hobbits aint the best of spellcasters though :) Now as a drow harmer
it was very powerful. Low spellmax, and stats did take care of that.
5) Atm i take as much damage with gphys as without it, it dont do anything
i notice against my expmonsters i solo, this change forces me to attack
weaker monsies or party. I lose ~200hps/rnd with or without gphys,
havent tested pfg+lphys yet, since i didnt bother study lphys. So its
idle time again until i found a place to solo.

It was requested by Snoop on behalf of Snoop btw...i think HK can

The request was to change party share in some way, but since i'm

I received this in an e-mail...applies really only to north
americans..it probably won't work, but heh, who knows:
Last year on April 30,1999, a gas out was staged across Canada and
the U.S. to bring the price of gas down, and it worked. It's time to
do something about it again.
This time, lets make it for three days instead of just one. The oil
cartel decided to slow production to drive up gasoline prices. Lets
see how many Canadian\American people we can get to ban together for
a three day period in April, NOT TO BUY ANY GASOLINE, during those
three days. LETS HAVE A GAS OUT.
Do not buy any gasoline from APRIL 7, 2000, THROUGH APRIL 9, 2000.
Buy what you need before the dates listed above, or after, but try
not to buy any during the GAS OUT. If you want to help, just send this
to everyone you know and ask them to do the same.
We brought the prices down once before, and we can do it again!
Come on North America lets stand together.
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I'm looking for info (title, author, etc) of a book with the
following description
The protagonist, probably a 12-or-so-year-old girl, learns that her
mother is not the woman she hasgrown up with, but another woman,
whose name was Kat. Kat is an artist. One of the girl'sstrongest
early memories from that time is being in some sort of cage (maybe
in a park?) andpoking a stick through the bars, messing up the wet
paint on Kat's canvas. I think she called her "mommikat" at the time.
The book has something of an Alice in Wonderland theme because the
girl keeps dreaming about the Red Queen, which is partly what leads
her to the discovery of herreal mother. The girl's best friend is
the daughter of a psychologist and gets into trouble at the endof the
book for having been an amateur psychologist about the whole thing.

Well, it's about the same price in here too. For example, my friend
bought a 1990 Chevy Caprice Classic STW and with his current driving his
monthly gasoline bill is about $600 :) So thank you, USA, for those
gasoline drinking machines which don't even have any horsepower compared
to the european engines. :P Hah. :P

we went through this whole thing of when you are attacked, its
_hard_ to amke that 100% then people want it only when x happens etc,
its just not going to happen. only thing i _would_ consider is making a time
limit in between. i.e. 2 hours before you can unregister, but that doesnt
really solve anything.
The only 100% solution is to totally remove PK.
BTW I am all for this registered stuff, it just gets old listening
to those of you that
choose to register, then sit and complain about how unfair it is.

The only 100% solution is to bring back the old pk rules.
ie joe bloe attacks billy bob after he regs to not get crim, and
after he attacks he goes and unregs for protection from the big bad
pk'er
if the old pk system was back, billy bob could go get his revenge

Ok, I can explain this one.
Both the dmg of your spells and the spell cost are effected by
multiple factors: your int/wis (or other stats for other guilds),
how well the spell itself (evil eye for example) is studied, and how
well your mastery/masteries are trained.
When you look at the help file on the mud, it takes into account all
these factors, then determines how many sps it costs to use the
spell for YOU, and how powerful it is for YOU.
What is on the website is just some copy that somebody came up with
to put on the website for general information. It isn't specific for
anybody in terms of dmg or sp cost.

The damage of a spell is individual to each person as it depends on your
stats. The web page just shows the numbers for whatever person did the page,
while the help changes its describtion as you get stronger.

Graxon knows that he shouldn't have done that and has squared it
up with Khosan.
In the meantime, you conveniently failed to mention that he did
it out of frustation because you not only ripped him off by not
paying for the item he handed you in the bank, but
then went and gloated on sales all about how you got a free
scepter.
Let this be a warning to anyone else that considers dealing
with Nerold in future.

What nerold had done before, has nothing to do with the fact that graxon
tried to use the pearl to cast spells in a no spell area, aka adv-guild,
and since he aint pk regged either, he has choised to not be a part of the
pk in the game, and shouldnt try to use things that makes him able to.
That ppl using things like this and dont get a public slap on the hands,
just makes ppl think if he could, so can i...But then again admins in rd
has been mostly nice to things like this, hard to find anyone but zaxon
that has got a big slap for doing things like this...

There are two separate issues here.
1) Graxon tries to do an illegal PK.
It failed. I gave him a warning as attempting to cheat is just as bad as
succeeding. Sorry, but I am not going to nuke him for a failed attempt to
kill a level 6 spammer. But I am fairly sure Graxon got the message and
won't do such a thing again.
2) Nerold.
He got nuked. He got banned. The ban system was rewritten and reset and that
is the only reason he is back.
He doesn't play. He makes fun of our active players by ripping them off and
bragging about it while they can't do anything about it because PK is
disabled. He spams and makes noise on channels.
Now tell me why I shouldn't intervene? We will always be on the side of our
active players and the newbie PK protection is not to be abused.
3) Hierokliff claims cheaters get away with it.
This is BS. We generally nuke cheaters. Your worth doesn't protect you, and
I think most people realized that by now. Zaxon is not the only one, nor the
highest worth person nuked for cheating.
I doubt you can come with any recent examples of someone getting away with
cheating.

Why should u? He didnt do anything to hurt the mud, i asked some ppl if they
did know why nerold was chatcursed after this, didnt get any good answer,
nor did anyone say that he was spamming at the time, bragging and being
the asshole he can be, yeah but spam? No.
Imho admins shouldnt interfer with players unless the hurt the mud, as in
spamming, crashing breaking the rules of the game, but if they trick and
taunt eachothers, its there own problem.

Actually I haven't come up with anyone else then zaxon that has got a penalty
for abusing a bug, for multiplaying yeah, u had a few weeks when players
where nuked, and zifnab with his protection of quests.
And talked with zaxon, he wasnt nuked for cheating, he was nuked because
shiva was botting, or something like that...Same goes for Hung, did he also
get a warning first? or was it me no like, zap? Allthough maybe its just
me that seperates multiplaying, botting and cheating?
Just wanna know if there is a general rule that u get a clear warning first
or if it depends on the mode of the admin...

Just wanted to comment on the Shiva/Zaxon situation. I know Shiva
irl, and I know from her directly that atleast on one occassion she
had been given a warning or equivalent before being nuked for
botting. IIRC, it had to do with portals from the master navigators
guild, and they were able to put them into their inventory and I
think Zaxon dropped it in his castle or something.
So, yes, even Zaxon and Shiva had a warning (or more) before being
nuked, among other things that the two were notorious for on this
mud.

Hmm not really, i just wanna know if we have rules in here, or if its
up to the mode of the admins of the day...
Or if its more like,
Big bad admin tells you: hmm wish ? did something so i could get a reason
to nuke him, i really dont like that a-hole...
And are there other penalties that could be used then the final nuke, like
exploss, eqdests, bans etc...
And so far i dont think i have broken that many rules in here, except botting
like when u where tanking ogres when we where partying and u where fixing
your dishwasher at the same time, and had a bell trigger when it was time
to move on...well we moved manually, attacked manually, atleast i did so
not really sure if its a bot or not...
Last time i asked khosan about triggers it was, anything goes as long as
u are at the screen...But zifnab and hmm maldan stated there are rules
about triggers...

I said the overall rule is that you have to be at the screen. As long you
keep that you most likely won't find yourself writting triggers that is
listed as illegal in "help botting". The illegal triggers listed in that
helpfile are illegal because it is highly likely that you are going to
leave the screen if you have them, and as long we don't have access to a
webcam in your room we can't prove that but we can prove that you are using
those triggers. FYI, I am the author of "help botting".
I don't think we have had any botting case after those rules got in where
it wasn't obvious that the guy was botting. Feel free to ask any questions
about the rules, but it appears that your motives are not doubt about the
rules. I think you know them very well.

Just a bit on cheating here.
If whoever is cheating/being a jerk/spamming whatever is just an ex-player
that we feel is not here to play the game... they don't get much warning.
If the person is activly a player we generally try to give smaller punishments
to start. But this is totally up to the wiz at the time. And I will admit
that there are times that punishments are not absolutely even. That is life
all the wizs are people just like you. And the day after their
girlfriend dumps them they are more likely not to be lienent.
The best deciding factor is 'has this person been in trouble before?'
To sum it all up. It is all a judgement call. If we catch you
cheating we may or may not nuke you right off. We would generally
rather have a player straighten up his act and be a positive part of
the game. But if we don't feel that it is gonna work out that way
you can be nuked on first offense.
How about this. Don't cheat and I won't have to nuke you or whatever.

This is a very good point. If all players played by the book, we wouldn't
have this situation where we speculate whether the punishment laid on a
certain player is more harsh than the one laid on another one.
It is impossible to create a set of rules in this matter, where all
punishments
would be equal. As said before, wizzes and admins are human beings and
if a player has gotten on their bad side, it's the player's fault and the
player has to live the consequences of their earlier actions.
I think that no one starts disliking someone else for no reason at all and,
well... it's a fact that one will probably lay a harder punishment on a
person they don't think too highly of, than on a person they are in
good terms with.
I guess my point here is that wizzes are humans also, and it's really hard,
if not impossible to be objective in these matters. We're not out there to
"get anyone", but we can't look bug abuse and other matters through our
fingers either.
Besides, just because things might've been rather loose on the nuking matter
earlier, it doesn't mean that we can't change our policy about it now.
Feel free to comment... in a constructive manner.
You don't wanna get on my bad side... who knows, I might be the Arch of

Hung was nuked (there was a news post stated exactly what it was, I
think multiplaying), and then Chenina prompty suicided. Don't

Ok, i have thought that some people were a little to pk happy for a
long time now.
However i dont think total removal of the pk system is called for.
Granted the pk system needs revanptment.
I havee had people steal eq on me before, and without the threat of
multible pking, i wasnt going to get it back.
If you have no pk what so ever, then this allows more crimes to be
commited against players, with no retrobution.
ie, people saying give me the eq then ill transfer, and then telling
the person to fuck off and not pay them.
ie, go into others peoples castles, spend time to open their safe
and steal their eq, and all the player can do is whine about it.
I think the crim system should be in effect for all players, no
registering pk, everyone would be pk, but every pk would get crim
time.
Say, 1 hour per pk, and the time you spend in your castle or adv,
doesnt count twords crim time.
ie, they have to be out in the real world in order for their crim
time to go down. This would allow players to kill them, or at least
have a chance to.
And if there are more then 2 offences in 1 day, without a good
explanation, their char would be nuked.
The person that attacks is the one that gets the crim time, not the
player that gets the actual kill.
This would give players the ability to defend their honor, or
retaleiate against other players, but it would also keep pk from
being abused.
Your comments, ideas are welcome.

First off, until such a system is devised to solve all the problem,
it might as well be removed, and I'm thankful for such.
Second, pk'ing doesnt' really solve jack @#$%. Why? because half the
players that do stupid crap like stealing people's eq or not paying
gold don't give a rat's ass, and it isn't going to get your eq
back.
As for the criminal time. Well, the way it is right now, fighters
have an easy advantage over all guilds but rogues in terms of
pk'ing, so a mage nor cleric can still defend themselves thanks to
how pathetic all mage spells cept for sorcs stuff is compared to fig
skills (I should know, one of Quillzs skills dropped me instantly
and I have near 800 hps, much less the time it takes to get a mage
spell off that compares).
I say to hell with teh pk system. For so long now wizards have
yelled at us to use ignore (I still refuse to use it) but w/out the
chances of somebody knifing you in the back because you're both
regged, there are no such complications and I'm glad the pk system
is gone for now.
Truthfully, I don't know if a system can be devised to stop the
idiocy and lack of maturity on this mud when it comes to pk'ing.

Personally, i think you are wrong about it not solving jack shit, if
a player killed you 2 times a day, allways when you had exp on, for

And I think that could also get into the whole hell of dealing iwth
the rules surrounding pk. Even those that are pk'regged have to deal
with such rules as attempting to pk somebody into the ground, making
hte game unplayable.
And yes, I have ideas, and I say leave the whole damn system out
until a viable solution is found. I even told Zifnab it wouldn't be
a bad thought to get a few players together to discuss ideas (I've
always thought this better than debating back in forth in the
news).

You are missing a vital point.
They are not whining because they got killed, a bug got abused
to _try_ and kill another person etc.
The whining is happening amongst the player that are on both sides
of the issue, those for PK, and those against it.
The biggest problem (IMHO of course) is that no matter how much
code you write you cant stop the imature people that are out
to ruin the 'game' for other people. Kill them until they leave
you say, well what happens when that person that is trying to
ruin the game for others is a high level plaeyr that just doesnt
give a shit anymore.
Shrug personally I like registered PK, unfortunately we dont
seem to be able to come up with a solution to fit this mud, that
doesnt need to be babysat. (Don't suggest open PK, as far as I am
concerned that is not an option).
Although the only known hole in the registration way was the party kill,
and that shoudl be very easy to close... That doesnt mean i want
to open pk back up though.
--zif
IF people have honest ideas, ways to implement it etc then feel free
to mail me,
I may start a discussion via mail about some ideas, however i
have 2 conditions:
1) not 'open pk'
2) Doesnt require a body to babysit it, (as then it becomes a
problem with multiple people doing things differantly
and its human nature to do it.

And you can ask Denim about the discussion I had with him over the
pk situation. Consider what I've discussed about pk'ing in general:
you know said player is coming after you, they have to cast a 3-4
round spell, they walk in, start casting, you run out for a couple
of seconds, run back in and attack, they're stuck recasting.
If you're a fighter, you can fairly easily wipe out a spellcaster in
3-4 rounds... one good crit and it's over.
I'm not saying the spells aren't out there that no caster can
properly defend themselves, I'm just saying that such spells aren't
there for all guilds, and aren't even likely to be given the
opportunity to be cast.

Hence if those spell casters mess with ya, they pay.

Very misleading
i can see how it would benefit newbies, ie eq <100k, but for higher

An piece of eq is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

its in no way meant to be the ultimate source however how many times
has player X, 'screwed' player Y buy selling something 10X more
expensive than another person was selling the same item for.
It _would_ be purely informational only, and note (its not in place yet)
that was a possible future enhancement. and yes there are ways to
'play' with the numbers, thats why it woudl be informational only.

Right off the bat and without trying it, (reading news so far), I
would suggest that this NPC charge a fee. Either a flat fee of 10k-100k
or a percentage such as 10%.
This does a few things. First off above and beyond, and having
everything to do with me being a thief: With the desperate hope that
steal will be implimented some day, a character zooming to the NPC
in question and giving an item imedatily to it, would of course hurt
this. Second, having a little to do with being a thief, a little mean-
ness, and a bit of adminship: You can't get something for nothing. Giving
players a 100% gaurenteed way to transfer an item with no risk in an
adventure setting on a game is nothing but silly to me.
Just a couple of thoughts.

How? Running in and out? You think that is clever? Sure, I can think
of another option, one that is known probably by alot of people, but
I'm still not gonna announce it here.
Something I was discussing with Phire was more realistic combat,
such as the fact it takes 20 rounds for people to kill a red dragon
(generally speaking). The same could possibly be setup between
players, that it takes more than 3 rounds for a fighter to kill a
mage. That combat is more of an extended thing so each side has a
chance to do dmg, rather than it just be whoever "draws first
blood".
Basically, it would be a drastic reduction of dmg done by players
toward other players with skills/spells and such.

I know tiamats eye was tuned for player damage, can you check it to

When i use it even on small monsie, it doesnt do crap for damage.

no it didnt, what got adjusted was player vs player combat
at the point it hits the player no individual items or spells
were touched.

I need some creative person to give me a hand. I've got several
areas planned, mapped, and an excellent theme to go behind them.
The whole thing I know will be a hoot for mortals, if I can ever get
it finished. I have one problem, though. I can't find the
creativity to write all the descriptions for the areas, or to think
of good theme matches for monsters in all the areas. I need some
creativity help here. The help would include writing actual
descriptions (though templates would probably be fine), throwing
ideas at me for monsters to fit into those area descriptions, and
maybe even descriptions for the monsters. You don't have to want to
be a wizard for this. I'll take care of coding, quests, actions,
and everything else like that. All I need is some descriptions.
Now, some of you may ask what you get for this. If you're asking,
you probably won't be much help anyways. :P But what you get is a
feeling of good will because you helped someone, immortalization on
the mud through your descriptions, and a big hug (if you want it).
So, anyone interested, mudmail me. If you reply to the post on
board, I'll have to thwap you. ;)
Have a nice day.

subject: DragonHeart
date: Tue Apr 4 04:46:22 2000
Ok, i just want to clear a few things up. I have heard people
complaining about some things dragonheart does.
Dragonheart has been around sense allmost the begining of clans, and
i have allways been the leader of it. All new members are voted on,
and if several members have a problem with someone appling, then
that person doesnt get in.
Im sorry id this offends you, but after all, this is dragonheart,
and this is the ways things are.
Another thing, In my parties i loot, i dont nessessarly split the
loot, this is well known. I know there are other clans that split
the loot and that is fine.
My advice to you hear is, if you are not happy with only getting the
exp, then dont join. We dont force anyone to join our parties, not
do we twist any arms.
and IMHO, if you join a party that is allready in progress you
really dont have any say in it.
You can ask graxon, who has asked me to tank for him before, and he
has seen that when i am asked to join a party in progress, i dont
loot, i dont make demands, i dont add party members.
If a party is allready going then the rules and or dessissions were
made a long time before the added player gets there.
As for some new members added that a few people have problems with,
all i can say is they were voted in, Dragonheart's members felt
these people deserve a chance, and as far as i can tell these people
have made vast improvments is how the behave on the mud, and how
they represent DragonHeart.
Everyone deserves a chance to change. I dont think i have 1 enemy on
this mud, and the only 2 i ever had are long sence gone. Im not
trying to start anything here, just letting everyone know how
Dragonheart and myslef feel.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I think this is a great idea, but i think there might be some
issues with it. I think this command could be abused. IE. a party is
killing stuff... a mage with 'autoloot on' is try'g to be a jerk,
and follow's them arround, waits until the monster is almost dead.
then blasts the monster. not only does the mage get the exp for the
kill, but now the mage also gets the loot. somthing to look into?

Well, they can do it now also and if they have a fast enough connection
to the mud, they don't even need to kill the mob to steal the eq.
Nevertheless, it's a lot more clear with the autoloot. All you have to
do is provide logs of the incident and the eq-thief will be dealt with...
Not much room for speculation there from the eq-thief's point of view. ;)

You dont need fast connection either. Anyone can just type loot,
and sit tapping the enter key.
Usually this will sneak past even very fastconnected peoples' triggers.

I thought those were msgs for high energy focus? Mebbe check your

The following is a mail I sent a wiz asking a question:
Is the minor benefits of the dark worshipper robe, even as high
priest (i.e., 7% dark ritual, maybe 20 sp regen or less), an aspect
of guild balancing, or is there any chance that the low value of
the bonuses may be revised?
-J
Hmm...when I sent a tell to Sigwald (typically tells don't work,
I get the error message), it inclued "i.e. compared to witch broom
and nether ring" at the tail end of the first sentence.
In response I received a suck for my trouble (of course no big deal,
but it isn't exactly informative, is it?), and a long series of message
on dragon indicating that I'd lied about asking witches and a nether mage
about the bonuses their guild items get, etc., as well as "bullshit",
"the message is a whine", the usual. What I want to know is...how the
hell do you ask a wiz a question here, or is this mud not a
two way communication type of place? Is the fact that I asked the
question call for the hostile response? Was the missing text I included
in the tell, which did make it so that my statement was more critical
than I'd originally intended, warrant the response I got?
Or is it just that it is me that shouldn't be talking to wizzes? It
seems that I have the power to incite wizzes without effort.
Well, atleast I got a simple "no" out of the long response that followed,

Anyone with any sense should be able to design their castles so this

tithe 50 gold to sakana
I recently sold a singing sword to Chasity, against my will( i
wanted to keep it but was not using it), for 2.3m gold. She told me
that Jomo owed her that much and she was mailing him to just
transfer it to me. She said he would be on in a couple hours orso.
Being her friend, I believed her.
When Jomo logged on I asked him to transfer the money and he asked
me what I was talking about. I told him and he told me that I had
been screwed. Chasity has since left to go to bootcamp, and i will
probably never see my gold for that sword. I recieved this
information from her brother Lokie.
Lokie then informed me that Chasity is a guy not a girl. Slightly
interesting. Anyways the point of my post is this. Don't trust
anyone. If Chasity ever begins to play again, do not make any deal
with "her". She cannot be trusted and if anyone does see her online
please try and convince her to give the sword back or some such.
Thanks for your time.

Well, if anything, find out where "it" lives and if that's in
somebody else's castle, see if that person can get you the items
from Chasity's chests/safes.
At this point, it sounds like your only option.
As well, from now on, don't do this sort of thing. Most of the
times, yeah, somebody will pay ya, but other times, well, you're

Evil priests have been doing much better rate with a healer
than any fighting guild has been able to, at the same worth,
and im pretty sure it's not as it's supposed to be.
Also the arches here made clear that after 500M worth, they want
you to stop improve exponential, only improve linear.
Therefore you cant just refer to their worth to justify the power.

For the sacrifice corpse thing:
Four 250k corpses used to give a full vessel.
For 90k monsters takes a bunch more.
So it seems that big evil priests get their vessel full
much faster than lower ones (killing bigger monsters and also
somewhat affected by that lower priests probably fail more often).
That means (if im not totally wrong) higher ones get more blood
plus they get more bonus when they use the blood.
I whould suggest to restore sacrifice corpse to how it
was before, but put in a cap on how much blood a corpse
can give, making bigger monsters count as a 100k monster.

That was exactly what was done to sacrifice corpse. The limit for how much
blood it can give was lowered.

Are youy just f*ckin crazy? A big part of the mud revolves around
the eq, if we had no eq then it wouldn't be a mud, or any type of
d&d.
All roleplaying games have eq(that i've played) and w/o it it is boreing.
So in my opinion no eq would be the worst thing that could happen on the mud,
Just remember tho...there are no stupid questions just stupid people.

That's a known bug, and it only happens on one side of the door, so
if it's happening on the inside for you, then you have nothing to
worry about.

I _think_ that the room that you drop the door token in always gets
the door. Its the other side of the door that has the chance of
not loading correctly.
I also think that this only happens when you come into the game
in a room that is the backside of a door, which will load that
room before the room that the door token was droped in, which
sometimes makes it not load both sides of the door.
Make sense?

A handsome, middle-aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat
down.Before he ordered, he couldn't help but notice a group of younger
men at the table next to him.
It was obvious they were making fun of
something about him, and it wasn't until he remembered he was wearing
a small pink ribbon on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of
what the joke was all about. The man brushed off the reaction as
ignorance, but the smirks began to get to him. He looked one of the
rude men square in the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and
asked, quizzically, "This?".
With that the men all began to laugh out
loud. The man he addressed said, as he fought back laughter, "Hey,
sorry man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little ribbon
looks against your blue jacket!"The middle aged man calmly motioned for
the joker to come over to his table, and invited him to sit down. As
uncomfortable as he was, the guy obliged, not really sure why.
In a
soft voice, the middle aged man said, "I wear this ribbon to bring
awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother's honor." "Oh,
sorry dude. She died of breast cancer?" "No, she didn't. She's alive
and well. But her breasts nourished me as an infant, and were a soft
resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy.
I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her health." "Umm", the
stranger replied, "yeah".
"And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife",
the middle aged man went on. "And she's okay, too?", the other guy
asked. "Oh, yes. She's fine. Her breasts have been a great source of
loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and
nourished our beautiful daughter 23 years ago. I am grateful for my
wife's breasts, and for her health." "Uh huh". And I guess you wear it
to honor your daughter, also?"
"No. It's too late to honor my daughter
by wearing it now. My daughter died of breast cancer one month ago. She
thought she was too young to have breast cancer, so when she
accidentally noticed a small lump, she ignored it. She thought that
since it wasn't painful, it must not be anything to worry about."
Shaken and ashamed, the now sober stranger said, "Oh, man, I'm so sorry
mister"."So, in my daughter's memory, too, I proudly wear this little
ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. Now, go
home and talk to your wife and your daughters, your mother and your
friends. And here .The middle-aged man reached in his pocket and handed
the other man a little pink ribbon.
The guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, "Can ya help me
put it on?"

subject: Because JAvier keeps doing it....
date: Wed Apr 12 22:18:40 2000
I found this poem...and *sniffle* I wanted to share.
Red roses were her favorites,
her name was also Rose.
And every year her husband sent them,
tied with pretty bows.
The year he died,
the roses were delivered to her door.
The card said, "Be my Valentine",
like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses,
and the note would always say,
I love you even more this year,+than last year on this day.++My love
for you will always grow,+with every passing year.
She knew this was the last time
that the roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered roses
in advance before this day.
Her loving husband did not know,
that he would pass away.
He always liked to do things early,
way before the time.
Then, if he got too busy,
everything would work out fine.
She trimmed the stems,
and placed them in a very special vase.
Then, sat the vase
beside the portrait of his smiling face.
She would sit for hours,
in her husband's favorite chair.
While staring at his picture,
and the roses sitting there.
A year went by,
and it was hard to live without her mate.
With loneliness and solitude,
that had become her fate.
Then, the very hour,
as on Valentines before,
The doorbell rang, and there were roses,
sitting by her door.
She brought the roses in,
and then just looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the telephone,
to call the florist shop.
The owner answered,
and she asked himif he would explain,
Why would someone do this to her,
causing her such pain?
I know your husband passed away,+more than a year ago,
The owner said, "I knew you'd call
and you would want to know.+
The flowers you received today,
were paid for in advance.
Your husband always planned ahead,
he left nothing to chance.
There is a standing order,
that I have on file down here,
And he has paid, well in advance,
you'll get them every year.
There also is another thing,
that I think you should know,
He wrote a special little card...
he did this years ago.
Then, should ever I find out
that he's no longer here,
That's the card...that should be sent,
to you the following year."+
She thanked him and hung up the phone,
her tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking,
as she slowly reached to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw
that he had written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total silence,
this is what he wrote...
"Hello my love,
I know it's been a year since I've been gone
I hope it hasn't been too hard
for you to overcome.+
I know it must be lonely,
and the pain is very real.
Or if it was the other way,
I know how I would feel.
The love we shared made everything
so beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words can say,
you were the perfect wife.
You were my friend and lover,
you fulfilled my every need.
I know it's only been a year,
but please try not to grieve.
I want you to be happy,
even when you shed your tears.
That is why the roses will
be sent to you for years.
When you get these roses,
think of all the happiness,
That we had together,
and how both of us were blessed.
I have always loved you
and I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on,
you have some living still.
Please...try to find happiness,
while living out your days.
I know it is not easy,
but I hope you find some ways.
The roses will come every year,
and they will only stop,
When your door's not answered,
when the florist stops to knock.
He will come five times that day,
in case you have gone out.
But after his last visit,
he will know without a doubt,
To take the roses to the place,
where I've instructed him.
And place the roses where we are,
together once again.

OK I stirred up a real hornets nest about eq decay.
First of all my views are my views. Not any of admins.
Secondly I'm no wicked player basher, for gods sake you all
know that. Also I'm a quirky thinker, I'd love to make
this game more interesting and rewarding for the smarter
players.
What about if "fresh" eq was 20% more powerful than it is now.
over time and with use this would gradually degrade to say
10% lower than it is now. Perhaps some abjurer spells or
a smithing guild in the fig tree would slow decay and even
repair items.
I'd also support the idea that both armor and weapons
could be broken with extreme hits. Again some kind of
"preventative maintenance" can reduce the chances of this.
All I ever wanted was for people to appreciate the
_positive_ aspects of what I was trying to introduce.
I don't ever want to see something added that just makes
players suck. But I'd love to put something in that
1/ Makes people want to do more eq (and perhaps eq would be
tuned to balance)
2/ reduces the amount of eq sitting idle in somebody's chest
3/ increases interactivity between guilds
4/ makes play more challenging, mindless xp botting
isn't what this game was designed for, I'm sure.
Mix the controversial.

If done right something like this could work IMHO. We all worked
hard for our equipment I know, but it's dull now. Most of the
people capable of GETTING the top eq already have a rocking set
and won't be helped that much by a slight upgrade to their
bracers or whatever. There used to be motivation to do equip to
sell it to lower levels but since the gem tune prices have taken
a huge dive and the bottom line is that statistically, it's more
profitable to just solo gold than it is to do equipment to sell
it. (Statistically meaning that to get an RHLS I should have to
average 10 or so sear parties etc).
Have a core set of equip that doesn't decay and gives a solid
base of stats then have better equip that decays over a month
or two and perhaps doesn't take 10 people 6 hours to get (3
hours is more reasonable, it's hard to keep a party going for
longer - people DO have irl commitments after all).
Hope this doesn't come across as whining, it isn't meant to be,
just an observation of 'life after a gig' and perhaps a way
to make the game more exciting once you reach the point where
yet-another-100-megs-xp doesn't do a lot for you.
Thanks,
Lasher.

Well, again, i dont like this idea at all. You must remember how
hard it is to get eq, the high gold prices and then finding someone
to buy it.
Remember the twisted metal rings you waited for months for mix? i
sure do. How would you have felt after paying 10m gold to get on,
then the stats start going down, and all the sudden your 10m piece
of eq is worth 5m.
Then you say, ok we can repair it, well, as far as i can see that is
just more gold we now have to do to pay for repairs.
Then you say extreame hits can break it, ok, you tanking seer, and
all the sudden your breastplate gets broken. Well, if you dont have
a spear then your screwed.
If that was in place everyone could forget about me ever tanking
seer. With my average piece of eq costing me 4m i dont think ill
chance it.( that is average rhls are worth 8, and bone scale mail is
worth 2m for example)
Anyway, just my 2 cents worth on the matter.

Again, life over a gig, if exp is boring to people then that is you
choice what you do, why should you make others do things because
some people are bored.
I get bored too, when it happends i dont play as much or i do eq,
but its allways been my choice.

including harmers, warriors, abjurers, and thiefs.
Also you need to be friendly with people in the guild.
Shadowgate over the next few weeks is going to be changed a lot. I'm
trying to change it from a mostly idle clan, to a fully active
hunting clan.
So if your still interasted, send me a mail saying what

In the past few weeks i've noticed that several people are trying
to sell eq, but noone is buying. Now that is either A) because
people already have rockin eq or B) people dont have the gold.
I am guessing the latter for the most part. I dont know why this
is. It may have to do with gem value being tuned,monsies not giving
more gold,not enough gold areas, or just plain old lazyness on the
part of players to do gold. This is not a flame or anything to anybody
just an observation. I would like to see more gold flowing around
here. Especially since so many people are trying to sell eq.

I don't get it, over hte last year there have been no downing of gold,
ther than a few items that did things that they were not supposed to
(beholders eyestalks etc). In fact I think its a very safe assumption
that across the board gold has gone _up_. While I did lower the gems
recently (not the value, the frequency with which they appear), that
is still a _bonus_ to the normal gold that is in the game, while some
of you don't feel that way that is really too bad.
The gems are not meant to be the _sole_ source of gold around here, but
a bonus to it.
My personal feeling is that even if we did make more gold
available, those people selling the equipment would
a) arbitrarily up the prices even more, because now too many
people/newbie have money to buy equipment.
FYI that complaint is still heard.
b) store it forever in their castles because 'I dont want to sell it'.
which happens now.

I agree it makes sense that if equipment isn't selling the
price should drop and then equip will sell.
The only problem with this is that it is getting close to the
stage where if prices drop much more you will be able to get
better equipment faster by mindlessly killing gold monsters
all day and buying it than you will by getting a party of 10
people together and doing eq all day. Killing stuff for the
first or second time is fun and worth doing anyway with or
without equipment, but after that...

Heh, if you as giant warrior only can get 40-60k a day if you go
for gold, then either you play like 30mins a day, can't play, or just
do xp parties, because there is lots of gold monsters out there
worth 500-1000 xp, and you should easily get to kill those. If you can't
solo those, bring a low level healer and split the gold in the end.
Gold is not hard to come by, people are just too lazy to go get it.

I think there is more midbie eq out there than all other types
combined. It has just been ingored for so long that most folks dont

One reason that high players are broke is that
they spend so much gold on lowering reinc-tax.
It should be more common now, since so many players
have the worth now, that they really gain
alot on lowering reinc-tax.
Half a year ago you could go and sacrifice a pipe
most likely, or at least trex eq. Now you are lucky if he accept chara's eq.
I dont know wether they made Eje require more now, or
if it only depends on many more players that use him.
Gold is always the same though, so if you're
gonna sac, gold is what you'll sac.
Also before monster-exp-tune, people killed monks alot more (gold monsters),
but now people rather go kill other things since the monks
usually are at 2/3 of their worth.

Well, Spidranox takes a pretty decent tank to beat because he hits
pretty dang hard, Lenny's gloves are really worth it anymore since
the eq balancing a while back, even with the upping, they don't have
the right stats to be too awful useful, though the rest of those are
still good choices.

Bah, there is plenty of gold in the game, if you don't have any
your just too damn lazy to get it. Those people can stop whining.
The real problem is the abundance of equipment. No one wants to
buy any overpriced items that they either have, aren't the best, or
won't give them much more than what they do have. Lets go back to
the item aging argument.

You have plenty of gold NF, cuz thats all you do on this mud :)
But I agree that people are lazy when it comes to doing gold.
I also agree with the abundance of EQ.
But eq aging will solve nothing.
Bad ideas never solve anything, they just cuase a helluva lot of arguing.
One of my arguements about eq aging is having a caster and fig
set...so basically the set you werent using would suck.
Anyway, thats another arguement.

Some musings on Eq Decay.... Please ignore as you like, I don't play
here much, so ..
From the comments I've seen, most of the eq decay people are
thinking of are just magical degrading systems such as zombie has.
All it's designed for is to remove eq from the game. Why not add a
little flavor to this idea, and provide some options for players?
Here's a thought on a system for eq decay
Basic ideas behind this.... Eq takes damage when being used, or from
behing hit, and magic drains from items after being used and very
slowly after time.
Now... to take these ideas into actual game play, there are some
basic ideas for skills/spells, such as the ability to repair items
that take damage for combat and spells, and magical guilds that can
recharge items that are used. Also a neat side affect to this would
perhaps be an addition of enhancing the eq already in the game a.
for example balancing a weapon for a player, sharpening a blade for
them, etc, and for magical purposes, perhaps overcharging an items
magical power (which means it drains energy faster but...), but it
allows for greater effects of the item when worn.
The main focus of this would be, if you put forth the effort to
protect, and charge your equipment, it will stay good for as long as
you put forth that effort, which rewards a skilled player. A newbie
with no clue running around with a set of eq he doesn't deserve has
a higher chance of loosing it.
i'm done with the meaningless spam, if this interests anyone, i can
elaborate on the different parts of the system.

The thing is those things can be useful...specifically in letting others
know when the Tank has full HPs, a blaster or healer has full SPs,
whether a blaster got a TOCK (enough to blast the next monster), or
a Tick (not). OTOH, they are useful at very specific times only, and
to specific people. In response to this, I posted an idea once for
multiple party channels, or a specific party channel (like "party
notify" as opposed to "party say"), but I was informed that this was
not technically feasible (well, not worth the hassle if feasible,
which is an understandable point), and that one could create a custom
channel to achieve this function in a specific party (absolutely
true). The thing is, people find it a lot easier to have all their
triggers use "think" or "say" or whatever, so I don't think the
latter option would be used much.
Then again, there ARE the people who just use think instead of echoing
(actually, show with ansi arguments is a better choice I think, since
it is nice, colorful, and extremely visible) it to their own terminal,
and maybe this discussion will persuade them to change their ways.

Sigwald forgot to mention. Due to the nature of the trials and that
they are made to test the best of the best, safe guards have been
put in to protect people who have no chance of surviving the trials.

Why haven't the thief skills such as 'steal', 'snoop inventory' and 'lockpick'
been implemented in the game? To my knowledge they have already been coded
ages ago. When will they enter daylight?
I know the opinions of some people are very much against "evil" skills, but
this is one thing a mud, especially a fantasy-oriented one, should have:
real thieves, having skills which they are notorious of, not some silly
fighters swinging daggers.
Koma

poster: Durin

date: Sat Apr 29 09:42:54 2000
GOtta agree with Koma. At the moment thieves are just one more
fighter guild with ability to 'steal' 1-10 gold pieces from unaware
idlers. But the real thief skills in game, take some of the fighting
ability away and a vot. We have REAL thieves. This mud is anyways
too soft, must be the 'newbie friendly' thing. Acctually this mud
treats all players as newbies and offers no real hard sides of the
role playing games. You don't have to fear anything in this mud. You
die, you get rev and lose like 1% of the carried exp. Mud crashes,
you get 99% reimbruised. You idle too long and boot with your eq on,
go to neelix. DoNo fear of idling, since the worst a thief can do is
rob your 1k gold from you if you are stupid enough to stand in one
place for an hour.
Goddamn, this mud is full of high worth players that don't know jack
*piip* about mudding nor anything. These posts are bound to get
flames from those as well as newbies and midbies, whining they don't
want to lose eq etc. WELL BUY A GOD DAMN GUARD AND MAKE IT BLOCK YOU
IDIOTS AND IF YOU BUY A DOOR, DON'T KEEP THE KEYS IN THE ENTRANCE
WITHIN A SAFE WITH 0 0 0 COMBO. Puuh. This mud is for newbies all
the way. Put some challenge to it. I want to lose eq, I want others
to lose eq. It's the way fantasy world works.
Thank you, drive through.

No one is afraid of death anymore. Revive is WAY too good. Remove
revive and let's continue with ress. That would at least make some

Because a) I'm not a pot head
b) I know too much about jazz to find it relaxing.
c) The mud is entertaining as well. I know alot of people who are

This is not a player vs player mud. IF something is going to steal your eq
it is going to be a monster.
So the answer to when you are going to pick castle doors or steal eq from
people, is "never" if I get any say on the matter.
And stop this news spam.

Yes this is our mud. Stealing from players will not happen,
nor will lockpick. Unfortunately this mud is not filled with
people that will use those skills in what i consdier an appropriate
manner. It is filled with a _lot_ of immature little kids
that are only out to 'screw' as many players as they possibly can.
No that is not all of you, some would be completely capable of
handling having steal, and picklock, and being able to do it in
the confines of the game, others well read my above statements.

With lock pick, I believe it just opens doors. This means the
would-be thief still has to:
a: Write trigs to open safes. Yes, its not that difficult, but the
average 13-year old will not know how to do it
b: spend the time to sit and watch numbers click by. With 26^3
possible combinations on the safes, that's a long time, allowing 13
or 14 seconds between turns to account for the cramps, that means a
possible 60+ hours of work just to open one safe.
Yes, I know everyone is going to say: "Well this is a
player-friendly mud, etc.", but I believe that with the original
crim system for killing guards, bounties, and setting it up so that
crim time doesn't go down unless you're outside your castle, this
could work. That way, if someone was a big enough loser to steal eq,
they would be killable, etc.
I'm probably ranting by now, and I'm probably going to get yelled
at. Oh well.

I get the feeling that Durin is one of those thirteen-year-old
players out to screw as many people as possible. Obviously he has
not been here long enough or talked to enough wizzes to know that
this is not a democracy. It is a very forgiving oligarchy. Whether
you think you have better ideas and better judgement than the wizzes
is immaterial; they're the ones who implement it.
And as has become abundantly clear, if you don't like it, go

The idea of lockpick skill is good, it doesn't have
to open doors and safes immediately, but it can help opening
doors and maybe chests/safes too, and that would make
guards more important, since they are no use atm.
And for "some" people judging how old is someone and
is he here just to screw up and mess with people
should go and look into mirror and ask how old i am.
If you don't know someone, you shouldn't atleast say bad things about him.
Lockpick doesn't make this game newbie hostlie or player vs player mud,
not even near that...

Point from Zifnab remains, however, until we have a much more mature
player base, such skills shouldn't be in the game.
I can see another Hexus coming along just to screw with people as
much as they can. What did Hexus do? Killed the guards in any castle
he could and raided any castle he could. What would those same type
of players do with a door lockpick? Get behind doors and do the same
damn thing.
At one point, I would've agreed to having lockpicking and all, even
with the safety of how long it can take to crack safes, but too many
players would do it just to screw over others, and that is not the
only purpose of a skill like lockpicking.

That's the reason i said guards would become more important.
Getting tougher guards to guard rooms and make them trap/block and stuff
I really have no clue how hard guards are atm, and what kind of guards
one can buy, but it would be cool to be able to buy
guards that would be from different guilds, like 2 fighter
guards, couple caster guards, they would have the spells that we have
in guilds, that would make it harder to kill guards and raid castles.
And it's damn hard to try to lockpick a door when a group of
biggish guards are smashing on yer head...

*sigh* The wizards can't cater to the highbies all the time, or else
they'd get nothing accomplished for the new players. It's the
evolution of the player base. Eventually, no matter how long you've
been here, whether lowbie or highbie, you're going to move on. And
I'm sure there are just as many lowbies that are retired/inactive as
highbies.
However, it's harder to do things for the highbies, and highbies
need to understand that. Giving them skills like lockpick so they
can have "fun" by screwig with other players isn't solving
anything.
If anything, we need ideas from the highbies on what the wizzes can
do to keep the highbies playing.

Tigran was coding exactly this like a year ago or something, then he
disappeared. Apparently he's still floating about now and then invis
here, but no work is being done on castles that I know of cept that
they were made alot tougher recently.
A pair of level 10 guards I think will stop anybody soloing, and
even a couple of 'em with a couple level 1's blocking & setup
properly will stop a nice sized party, imo.
I still don't agree with it because of the immaturity factor of
players: they will go after all the inactive players that don't
stand a chance, or the newbies that can't afford the guards.

these skills need to be implemented. theres no reason they
shouldn't.......they wouldnt make the game any harder or anymore
less player friendley. The way the game set is geared(something like
'A D&D Based mud running on a HEAVILY modified lima mudlib' if i
recall) thieves are simply a fact of life. there are people who
steal and hide in shadows and whatnot. i feel that it would add an
extra element of role playing to the game.

There is NO roleplaying on this mud. Otherwise we wouldn't have reincs,
die 20 times to kill 1 monster, and alot of other anti roleplaying things.
This mud is not based on D&D, just the fantasy genre.
If all of the highbies colluded together, then no midbie/lowbie would
have a safe castle unless they went under the protection of the highbies.

shrug if we stop getting new players its time to get on with our
lives, and do other things. If the mud died tomorrow we had
what i consider to be a very sucessful mud. Please dont hold
threats of X retiring/quitting because the mud sucks etc, you
played here long enough to get somewhere that you coudl retire,
so it must of been fun for you at that time.

It wasnt a whine or something like that Zif. I had a great time here
and liked the mud alot.
I still think you guys/girls did a great job in here. What i say if
some bored highibe leave the mud, so what.
There will always be new players. And that is not a unique thing for
Red dragon. Things like that happens to every mud. And most of them
is still out there.

And one other point - having played a theif in D&D I don't remember
ever "having" to use my stealing skills... This role
playing argument because you want to be able to steal
from players is absolute bollocks. If you're going to
have dishonest intentions at least be man enough to say it.

Ok we wanna talk about the "role playing" aspect of this
game. Arguable whether we have that or not. But lets
look at it. If we implement lockpick, steal etc for thieves
we could simply make it workable only on in-game objects
ie if there was a locked door or a safe in the game, a thief
would have a chance of picking it. But no player equipment
would be threatened by this. This would extend the role
playing side that you are asking for, without creating any
unwanted effects on the player base.
Of course there would have to be danger involved, so
as per D&D you may have a 1/4 chance of a poison trap
in any thing you tried to pick.
I'm tipping all of the current "proponents" of the want
for stealing / lockpicking would not be for this option
because although it brings the role playing of rogues, it
doesn't let them get their grubby little hands on others
kit.

Thieving is and should not be easy. I do not wish for omnipotent thief skills,
I wish for a dimension of role playing where a _smart_ and cunning thief could
benefit, not by using their maxed out skills, but their _wits_. And it should
be damn difficult.
I don't want immature players screwing people up. In my opinion this would not
happen, if thief skills are implemented correctly: Not to make them too
powerful and have quite a lot of restrictions.
An average player would be quite protected from thieves simply by using common
sense. If for example 'steal' can be targetted only at eq in peoples
inventory,
witless players carrying a piece of eq in their inventory might get it stolen.
This could be easily avoided, just the way pickpocket is now: do not
idle at CS
with 100k gold on. It might take forever the way it currently is, but a thief
might steal the money
Castle raiding would require at least a party of players, assuming the castle
owner has some sense. Lockpicking shouldn't be easy, getting past
castle guards
shouldn't definitely be easy. Raiding a strong castle would surely need a
strong party to kill the guards, if at all possible.
"Screwing" other players up wouldn't be simple since stealing or lockpicking
would _still_ require infinite amounts of patience. And as always, the risk
of getting caught, and the consequences of criminal actions. All I'm saying is
that I believe this could be done without immature players getting the ability
to screw others up.
I wanted to arouse conversation and mostly to hera the wizzes
opinions on this.
This is a constantly evolving mud after all, and I believe new suggestions are
welcome. "If you don't like it go play somewhere else" was actually the
unconstructive response I was waiting for.
Thanks, Koma

here it is... if you don't like it go play where you do like it.
Or build your own mud
i know that sounds like we don't care. But let me sum it up. This is not
an option that we want here. It is our mud so we choose not to implement it.
If I walk into a game store I buy the game I want. I don't buy quake III and
bitch that it doesn't have enough roleplay.

Okay, first off: player opinions matter for little unless they have
been asked for. That'll be true of any mud, so it's just a fact of
life. Most of the time wizards aren't going care what a few news
posters say; they're generally a minority. Just a loud minority.
If you want an opinion that counts on a mud, become a wizard and
contribute to its growth. Then at least you get listened to, even
if still no one cares what you think. ;)
Now, on to "role playing" and thievery. I've played D&D for about
15 years, and never once have I had anyone even want to play a thief
that would steal from other PCs; at least, nothing major. Nothing
beyond perhaps a bit of pickpocketing. It just doesn't happen. And
do you want to know why? Thieves want to live. In D&D, you get one
life. No revives, no resurrection, no praying. If you're lucky,
your friends /might/ get a resurrection spell cast on you. But
probably not if they killed you because you stole Bubba's +3 battle
axe.
The only thing thief skills add to a mud is an outlet for people of
less than stellar social qualities to vent frustration, immaturity,
or anything else onto other people. And, quite frankly, it doesn't
contribute to the mud. We're really draconian on pking here,
because we're not a player vs. player mud. So that's going to
extend into thieving skills. If thief skills are going to be
implemented, like Mixer said, they won't be usable against other
players.
Now, honestly, how many of you proponents for thief skills actually
want them with that caveat? Better to leave them out of the game, I
say, and spend your experience some where more useful.

The tune was not just to caster eq. It was across the board. The main reason
it looks like a caster is that fighters tend not to rely on regen as much

Hi just to post my 2gps worth.
Iv no idea how hard it would be to implement but if the thief chars
out there wanted to steal eq from other players it could always be
made part of the PK system ie. only a PKreg thief could steal from
another PKreg player. Then non PKreg thieves could try to steal from
mobs but not other players.

that would had just another part to the pk system. If they were to
do that, then they would allso have to allow reg pk people to unreg,
because when people signed up for the pk system (well some of us
anyway) stealing wouldnt have been part of it.
Personally , i have no problem with thiefs being able to steal from
npc's, however im not sure what advantage that would be.

if thieves could steal from npc chars they could steal keys and
stuff for the areas so you didnt have to waste time and kill them.
Could create a bunch of areas were it would make it easier to have
thieves in eq parties.

First and foremost, I have had a really enjoyable time during my
stay on this mud. This can be attributed to 3 things. a) The
Wizzes/Gods who code and upkeep the game making it a better place
for us all..Kudos to you peeps. b) The people here, after all this
is an interactive game and it is mostly all about the people, with
extremely few exceptions the people here are about the coolest I
have encountered to date. c) The third thing that attributed to my
good times here is my having the anger to warrant venting on
imaginary monsters and the sense of humor to keep myself and others
entertained while i do it. (Kudos to me Yay!)
Secondly, 2 small comments - "Pet a cat and help a noobie whenever
possible." - and - "Wizzes are people too." (With few but evident
exceptions *cough*ANT*cough* =P)
Thirdly, To all the people I have helped or been helped by, to all
the people in my clan, to all the people who put me on their friends
lists, to all the people who made my friends list spammy, and to
Damion and Pinto (Who even tho they no longer mud here have shown me
that yes, even without hands, a horse's ass can type) - All you guys

Just out of observation, there's a genreal lack of true midbies on
this mud...the life of the average Red Dragon mudder seems (<--note
that I typed "smees" there origionally) to be as such:
Newbie
Levelinflateforstats
Levelinflateforstats
Levelinflateforstats
Levelinflateforstats
Levelinflateforstats
Levelinflateforstats
I was looking at the plaque, and I'm level 44 on there with 112M
with a bunch of people who are level 50-60.
I think there needs to be more reward for people with more
exp....ie, there's a base level cost, and then it costs you more exp
to train a stat. Specialty spells like Reinc/Ress/Revive will allow
for less exp loss of the dead person the higher those spells are
trained...things like that (This is just from a caster cleric p.o.v.
... I'm sure similar things can be implimented on other guilds).
There's my general rant.

I was wondering about the ripost skill for defenders of the crown.
It reads that it is a slashing weapon only skill, I do not really
understand why it should not work for blunt wepons as well ( whip I
can kind of understand ). The blade dancer gulid is still alot
better than the other fighter guilds as I see it.

This just reminded me.
Afaik the better u get, the higher spells/skills/stats/lvls you get,
the more sps etc stuff starts to cost. The damage/sps ratio keeps
pretty much the same. I think it would be logical that if you are
highly studied in casting a spell you should also be fairly good in
householding your sps. Atm it's like if you're better then you just
do dmg faster, but maybe not (much) more of it.
Can be wrong, but feels that way when certain stuff costs
ahelluvalot to cast/use...

I don't think damage/sp cost keep the same ratio, a spell when first
learned may cost 50 sps with low damage but when trained highly 200
with enormous, I doubt 4 blasts of a low damage spell will equal 1
blast of an enormous damage spell.

One does not parry or otherwise defend with blunt weapons or whips
and daggers, one does however parry with shields. I would therefore
assume that riposte should only work with slashing and shield type
weaponss.

I beg to differ with Zane here, you can parry with just about
anything (not whips), and the skill riposte is supposed to reflect
your ability to take advantage of the position you managed to put
your opponents weapon in with your parry.
I would also like to note, however, that some weapons (like swords)
are much more effective when used to parry than others (dagger).

I don't like using follow-up, cus it causes endless spam and hard to
read news, so I'll just post them by itself.
The benefits of putting your exp into skills/spells is supposed to
be the bonus in itself. If more of a bonus is being reaped simply
from levels than actual training, then maybe training should mean
more (it is afterall the main measure isn't it?)

I've heard someone is going eq tank in June (and he's very good at it)
I just want to mention that folks should reinc for eq by then.
sorc's,harmer's,witches,whatever just choose the guild who is good
for the eq parties.
too be a sorc U need level 50 and 100M worth or more. If someone of
u guys/girls who is intrested of this should talk to me, if they
want some info about harmer,sorc,witches.. etc.

Erm, i'd like to point out that the eq monsters that will be
killed will be of the highest possible quality. i.e. the stuff
that never gets killed unless ppl are very organised. And so
for sorc's this means they will need breaths trained to
be of much use (ie hag is acid or asphyx only per boot)
I think there is one abj for sure, a second seemed to work
very well last time.
We have a couple of high class healer's in raw and blonk,
but i guess another couple of 500+ healers can never help
Animist now, would appear to be very useful (baer/kalon)
being able to tuned to a damage type.
There are a couple of maxxed seers, many max and myself
But another curse chanter would be helpful, to allow
harmers to blast, and not stun.
Harmers, well there is Graxon at high worth, and a few nicely
worthed midbies, but a few more might be useful.
Basically i think it comes down to, if you was around last
time, be around again. Be in the same guilds again, and
as long as ppl are willing to kick butt, then the tank
will stay tank, as he enjoy's it so much

Hmm, first off it seems to me that on average small races have more
dex than big races. Dex being a major affecting stat for dodge
means that, well, I think small races already dodge more than big
races. Rememer we are not talking a huge difference for the hits of
large races here. If there were, everyone would have reinced to
giant by now.
Next thing that comes to mind is that yes large races in general are
pretty powerfull, but dont they get low exp rates to match?
So in specific response to Bal the friggin small insectoid, dont you
have four arms? Doesnt your race have the second best dex of any
race. Dont you dodge better and get way more hits than those larger
races that hit harder but not as often?
Lastly, I would like to say that when you go to reinc, you can
choose any race that you like. I hope that you will be smart enough
to choose one that you will enjoy playing =)

Since Balinor provoked me into actually testing this, I can tell you that
two 100% equal thief reincs, one mantisman (which is the race balinor is
whining about) and one xorn (which he compares to), the mantisman got
120 dex while the xorn got 174 dex.

Phire, Smee, Apathy, and I were planning a get together for a few
days sometime between July 14-22. It would be at my house (I live
near Pittsburgh) If you are interested in coming, and live somewhat
near Pittsburgh, give me a mail.
Although I love you guys dearly, I don't particularly want the whole
mud. It will be held mostly at my house and in various places around
Pittsburgh, and will be totally dry. I can put up 3-5 more people in
the house proper.
If you live near Dayton, Ohio, State College, PA, or Philadelphia,
PA, you can probably catch a ride, but otherwise you will be on your
own. Send me a mail if you are interested.

if you care to think about it, there is a reason that the bug
groups are kept private to the person reporting the bug, and th

Original bug report by Durin on Tue May 9 06:45:22 2000
Now tell me, is 06:45:22 before or after 06:44:28 ?

you remember to bug report it also.

Well nods, your rules about kiling mortals who use buggy code are

People will always talk about bugs on channels, mostly to confirm
whether or not something is a bug. Doesn't mean you have the right
to post it in the news for hte whole bloody mud to find out about
and potentially attempt to abuse just because others are discussing
it, does it?
Just bug rep it and be done with it.

All bugs are secret info until admins decide to publish it.
The more that knows, the bigger risk for abuse.

appending 'needs to be fixed', 'fix it' etc to the bottom
of bug posts is rather annoying, or perhaps its just me that
it annoys, but we do our best to fix things around here, and that
implies that we dont.
Anyway just a personal thing that i dont like.

Just kidding. ;) Anyhow, I am making a Red Dragon Player site (I
know, this has been done before) with photos of everyone and a
little about each of you. If you have drawing of your character
(Past, or present form) those can go up too. If you have a story
behind your character, a story about your character, a story about
the game- those are welcome too! I may take some from Zifnabs
library as well. BAsically anything that has to do with the
characters and the game. And maybe I will even have something about
areas and eq. nothing as fancy as most of the other pages though. :)
Ok, so that is it. Either mail me or mud mail with what ever you
want up there. ;) Thanks

Talk about original lyrics there... It would help greatly if you'd
manage to remember something a bit more original ;)
I guess that portion of the lyrics would fit into just about every
song by BSB, Westlife, Boyzone, etc, etc...

Figured I should write something here because a lot of people are

basically, because of a few real life things going on, it isn't going
to happen. I can sit online and kill something every now and then but
just cannot pay as much attention as eq demands.
Golte is still tank so everyone that was planning to reinc can still
do so and do eq with him if they wish (or anyone else that reincs tank).

If you want eq parties go reinc into:
Healer, Sorcerer, Harmer maybe, Animist - no clue
Dont reinc into this (unless some unreincs will happen):
Tank, Abjurer, Bard, Gazer
And reinc now.
Some notes:
Evokers at level 30 with breaths 90+% are probably
better than level 50 ones with breaths 60-70%,
though some monsters rather take the death wish types.
So... perhaps evoker is good choise for you that
has small worth, but im not sure.
All for now i guess

This is the weirdest article I've ever seen in the news, and it's a
bit quaint, so I'll share it with y'all.
"Tot's babblings may save graves"
Brian and Kendra Tyler of Springboro were more amused than worried
when their 2-year-old son Gaige began to talk to an imaginary
friend.
The innocent babbling of the toddler, however, started a family
quest that led to a beaten-down and long-forgotten cemetery near the
center of town. The experience left the young parents wondering if
Gaige's imaginary friend might have been a real part of Springboro's
history who needed their help.
For the Tyler family, the mystery started about two months ago.
"Who's that? What's that?" Gaige questioned his parents, the baby
sitter, or grandparents while he pointed to an empty room or
hallway.
After several weeks, the toddler started to call his new friend by a
name, Sarah. One evening Gaige fell asleep nestled next to his mom.
Kendra Tyler drifted off, to--only to be awakened by her excited
son.
"Sarah. Sarah. Sarah," the young boy said as he pointed wildly into
the corner of the room.
For the first time, Gaige's mom saw the girl with whom her son had
been talking. For just a moment, and admittedly while she was half
asleep, Mrs. Tyler said she saw the hazy image of a mother and child
dressed in old-fashioned clothes.
"It spooked my wife," Tyler said.
The next day she went to the library to research who had lived in
the area around [their] home where she connected with a member of
the Springboro Historical Society who led her to the old
Universalist Cemetery off Ohio 741 at Parker Drive.
Hidden from view by a strip shopping center, towering oaks,
wildflowers, and weeds, the cemetery was just blocks from the Tyler
home. The family and most Springboro residents hadn't known it
existed. What they found there saddened and excited them.
The cemetery holds about 60 broken or fallen headstones, graves of
early Springboro settlers.
In 1837, Nicholas Fye, 81, became the first to be buried in the
half-acre plot, according to Springboro Historical Society records.
By 1920, membership in the local Universalist Church in Springboro
had shrunk to 13. The church folded. So did the cemetery.
Today the cemetery is the only piece of property in Springboro that
no one owns, said Don Ross, president of the Springboro Area
Historical Society.
The old cemetery is dear to Ross, though he has no relative buried
there. It was a tangled mess of foliage and underbrush when
historical society members found the cemetry in 1992, Ross said.
"Four tilted headstones and a toppled spire were the sole
indications that it was a cemetery," Ross said.
"Snarled bushes, noxious weeds, and sun-starved saplings effectively
filtered out all but scattered shafts of light, even at midday."
Many of the gravestones [were] buried udner 2 to 6 inches of soil,
Ross said. Gently using metal probes, then shovels, local volunteers
unearthed the 60 headstones. Two tempered steel rods with bent
handles, commonly referred to as "witching sticks," were used to
line up the graves.
"I don't know the science behind it, but as you walk across a grave
the rods cross," Ross said. "Using the rods, we were able to exactly
line up the headstones."
Ross made weekly vigils to work on the cemetery until 1997. When the
work got to be too much for him, the city took over general upkeep,
Ross said.
While the Tylers wandered among the graves of "Our Little Wille" and
"Little Maria," Gaige walked around on his own.
"Gaige went right up to a grave and started saying 'Sarah,'" his dad said.
The toddler had discovered the grave of Sarah E. Millard. The little
girl had died in 1853, at 2 years, 3 months--the same age as Gaige.
"He's too little [to] read, but he walked right to her grave," his daid said.
"After we saw the cemetery, I thought maybe Sarah was trying to tell
us this was just not right."
Tyler said a community as affluent as Springboro should be able to
fix up the cemetery and put up a fence to discourage vandals. Tyler
said he hopes the community will rally round the cemetery and fix it
up.
"We have teachers who require students to do community service,"
Tyler said. "Maybe this cemetery could become a school project."
There are thousands of these old cemeteries across the state, said
Melanie Pratt, manager of archeological records collections for the
Ohio Historical Society.
"It's very important not to let them disappear because they give us
a link to our past," Pratt said.
Reclaiming a cemetery such as the one in Springboro takes muscle and
expertise, Pratt said.
"Lots of people go in with good intentions, but in 10 years the
cemetery looks worse than before they started," Pratt said. "You
have to know what you're doing."
Ross estimated that it would cost about $5,000 to repair the
headstones and another $7,000 to put up a simple fence. Ross
supports further reclamation of the cemetery, but also hopes any
efforts to do so will [be] discussed with the historical society.
As far as little Gaige is concerned, Sarah has once again become a
thing of the past. The family moved several weeks ago and Gaige has
[not] mentioned his playmate again, his father said.

After being an abjurer for three weeks doing what abjurers
are meant to do, idle and wait for an eq party i just feel
its time to write some ideas for changes on them, and some
comments also.
Enchanters.
The bonuses are nice, hmm very nice actually but you can't
keep yourself or the tank protted with them and still expect
to have sps to do anything else for 10min/hour, that is with
700+ regen. Sigwald reduced the spcost a bit it was nice so
it costs just around 300sps/spell/item to enchant, it is still
a bit over 4.5k sps to enchant versus resists, increase stats
or increase Ac on a player. Not sure if a reboost spell would
be fitting the guild, so you spend 10min/player in the start
then just cast a reboost spell on them after 40-60min or they
start lose the stats, but if i should be really pushing it i
would rather want em to last to reboot. Compaired to druids
and bards boosts that are fast and last about as long time
they need something special, maybe not the resists enchants but
the statsenchants
Abjurers.
It wouldnt hurt with a few more AC prots. Hmm but then again
just barskin increases ac from vhigh to BEST or so, if that
means anything :)
Lesser shields, lasts way to short time to be used on casters
in the party. A way to remove shields would be nice, except
let the person either idle it away or die/quit.
Irrifletta.
Without the fire shield, some eq monsies wouldnt be fun at all
but except for that it dont really have any purpose. Not sure
what its purpose is actually, to be an extra resist spell to
the shields or to hurt the npcs. I don't think it has ever been
used in here to hurt the npc, since almost all the time the npc
is either doing random damage or is very resistant to the damage
type he is doing.
New Omnicron for abjurers.
A player can only join one of each of these guilds.
Masters of Abjuration
- Dragon lore
Increases the abjurers chance for analyzing a living dangerous dragon
before he attacks to maybe increase the vuln effects on him. It also
increases the dissicate corpse skill after the dragon has fallen, to
enhance the chance of learning from the kill.
- Faerie Lore
- Undead Lore
- Demon Lore
- Humanoid Lore
- Animal Lore
Bunches of different lore skills for different kinds of NPCs.
- Dissicate corpse
The abjurer splits up the corpse and analyzes its to learn the weakness
and strengths of the target. This increases his chtulhu mythos
that affects
all his vulns.
- Analyze opponent
Gives the abjurer a slight information about the opponents strengths and
weaknesses, it is no where close the the psychics gaze to get the
resists, but might give information about offensive capabilities also.
- Find Weakness
Used once per target, will increase vulns if successful.
- Unessence
Has a chance of removing sps on the target, or if really lucky giving
the target a forgetspells for a few rounds.
- Unshield target
Removes all kinds of greater and lesser shields on a target.
Special mastery, this one can't be trained.
- Cthulhu Mythos
The magical knowledge of all beings, both from this world and from
worlds from beyond.

do. I do have a secondary character that i might log in from time

subject: Eq/Resists
date: Sun Jun 11 08:03:26 2000
We had a good sized eq party last night, with a huge tank that had
3950 (give or take 25) hps.
The party was 11 hours long, and we killed blackmon in 6 hours.
Gave Xetrov a paper cut in a half hour, and decided to move on.
And did galadriel in 4 and a half hours orso.
We had 2 healers, a curse chanter, and 2 harmers.
Seth and I were healers, Warchief and Tomten were sorcs, Jordali and
Golte harmers, Denim the witch, and Zane the big o'l meatwall.
My point here is as follows:
In 11 hours, a party of this calibur should have been able to do
more than 2 large eq mobs.
These weren't the largest mobs, but they were fair sized.
I'm not just trying to bitch and whine and stir up a ruckus, I'm
trying to rationalize here.
o O ( I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way about the new
resists..) O o
Methinks it might have something to do with the new resists.
I did come up with a couple ideas...not to make eq easier overall,
but less time consuming. Deaths are still expected.
1. Lord Blackmon. That little "fear" special of his, maybe put
some sort of a cap on it?
He did that little fear special, which makes you flee, on entrace
one outa 4 times, thats instantly on entrance.
One outa three times he did it withing the first 2-3 rounds.
This puts a big crimp in the coordination of the party.
Having to re-group, every pf, and re-prot because of it...very time
consuming.
Galadriel specialed a lot too, but it wasnt as bad as blackmon.
A few other things that might help is tuning curse chanters' spells
up a bit...?
Few people like this guild to begin with, well, because it's not
very useful for anything other than eq, and not a lot of ppl care to
spend a whole 10 hours + just to get 8 good pieces of eq.
I'm not saying make them the most powerful guild, but maybe make it
so they can be more useful for exp, as well as eq, and/or make their
curses more powerful.
p.s.
I've read that some bard skills/songs have been upped, and if I do
remember correctly, doublestab was even squeezed in somewheres.
I can do nothing but praise these changes.
I enjoy seeing guilds that arent played much look more attractive to
players, so that the guilds may be more useful.
Any feedback on the subject is gladly welcomed.
Maybe more ideas, pointing out some bad parts of my ideas...?

or perhaps allowing something players can do to, while not stop specials,
can perhaps slow down the start...perhaps a bard song? a brew? something
to make some guild with potential for eq even more desirable, thereby
making the task, while more challenging, not as tedious if the party
is able to find the extra person to work this "magic"
-J who thinks eq should be hard, but not so damned tedious if you are
willing to put some thought into the make up of the party. Our party
the other night was strong, as Quillz said, and I think that level of
challenge is fine, just that I think xertov should have been that
challenging, and
tia, and galadriel and blackmon should have been a step down from that.
Anyways, we'll have to see how the changes affect those mobs...
BTW, Hag ultra nasty "SP sucked by Hag down to 0 almost within 5
rounds" toned down
any...whichever wiz was working on that?

I am told you did galadriel without using your brain. Sometimes it is
not enough to put together a cool party, you need to figure what the
trick is to kill the particular eq monster you are fighting.

This is true, we could have cut at least 30 minutes of the time
Galadriel took and accourding to Sigwalds inform post, Blackmon has
been tweaked some also.

Didn't do it with using our brain? Well, I might be guilty of that,
but Warchief noticed the pattern, and I didn't initiate the
checking to see if it was a bug. The consensus in the party
was that we should take the most likely target (What Warchief
noticed pretty much confirmed that and put the pieces
together) and see what happened as we progressed through targets
Now, there may be something we still missed in regards to Gal
in all that combat spam, but if it is other than what stems
from the basic pattern we noticed to the combat with the
helpers and their roles, we'll just have to try again and
pay more attention...but our basic pattern we settled on
was what we stuck with as we (some of us) noticed more things.
As for Blackmon, there is no real trick to the high frequency
of his specials...it is pretty much you get specialed, get
organized, go back in...except the get specialed part happened
a lot (it seemed to us),
Anyways, the monsters seem to have been adjusted (I'm pretty sure
Gal's adjustment isn't to tune down, but tuned to make work more
properly...) and we'll see next try how things pan out.

Som of us first thought they where bugging as happened before with changed
monsters. Some wizards told us it worked as it should and soon we
discovered their tricks and how they helped each other.
We where slowed down because we had such problems staying in.
As zane said knowing the tricks will not save us that much time
next time. The majority of the time we had Galadriel on her own.

We were the first party to kill her since the tune.
At first, we went about it the wrong way, but we did figure it out
after bout a half hour of silliness.

As Jordali said we need more things that can make a few of the
undesired guilds more desireable. Like Couldron Magic, the only ones
joining this guild is those that decides to reinc Gazer for eq
parties, but Couldron Magic's ain't any useful in eq parties, so why
not add a new potion, Mixture of Fog. This mixture could be thrown
at a direction so you don't have to enter and cast it. this mixture
gives about 25-30% of chance that there will be no entery hit when
within the next minute. The chance of succeed with this shoulden't
be to high, becouse if it did it should be to simple to do eq. And
just for the record, Im not posting this so Couldron Magic's can
make alot of potions and then throw a Mixture of Fog and then enter
and throw 20 potions at the mob and kill it w/o getting a skratch.
Mobs should still be able to throw potions back w/o any change what
so ever. It's just to help a little agains entery hits on mobs like
Galadriel's little friends and other hard hiting mobs.
Just my 2 cents.

Would like to point out a few things here.
First, bigger monsies throw back potions with alot more frequency
than smaller monsies... if the same applied to your new spell, it
would be next to useless aginst eq monsies, as they would throw back
100% of the time.
As for cauldron magic in general, yeah, I've had some issues with
it, mostly relating to free attack itself, but it is not a useless
guild period. Useless for eq: yes... that's why there's curse
chanters as well. But cauldron has always been a solo guild, it's
just that 9 out of the 10 of you don't have the bloody patience to
know how to kill and use the guild effectively. That's your pitfall,
not the guild's.
I like the idea of such a spell, but it would have to follow unique
rules to the potion throwing formula.

Last I checked, Tiamat was supposed to be one of the hardest if not
the hardest monster in the game. If that's no longer true, I'll
have to get someone to let me tweak her. If you look at 'help

That's why I was saying Tiamat should be of the order of the...
what was it...6? A bit more? hours we spent on Blackmon, but Blackmon should
be a step down from that. I guess I wasn't clear, others seem to have
misunderstood me.

Your right it wasnt a 2 week retirement, it was 1.
Anyone else notice that the people that quietly retire
are the ones that _really_ do retire, and those that
announce it and make a big deal out of it tend to

Three guys in a hotel call room service and order two large pizzas. The
delivery boy brings them up with a bill for exactly $30.00. Each guy gives
him a $10.00 bill, and he leaves. That's fact! When he hands the $30.00
to the cashier, he is told a mistake was made. The bill was only $25.00,
not $30.00. The cashier gives the delivery boy five $1.00 bills and tells
him to take it back to the 3 guys who ordered the pizza. That's fact! On
the way back to their room, the delivery boy has a thought... these guys
did not give him a tip. He figures that since there is no way to split
$5.00 evenly three ways anyhow, he will keep two dollars for himself and
give them back three dollars. OK! So far so good! He knocks on the door
and one fellow answers. He explains about a mix up in the bill, and hands
he guy the three dollars, then departs with his two-dollar tip in his
pocket. Now the fun begins! Remember $30-$25=$5 Right? $5-$3=$2 Right?
So what's the problem? All is well, right? Not quite. Answer this: Each
of the three guys originally gave $10.00 each. They each got back $1.00
in change. That means they paid $9.00 each, which times three is $27.00.
The delivery boy kept $2.00 for a tip. $27.00 plus $2.00 equals $29.00.
First three people to _mail me_ where the other dollar is, win a 10k prize!

This is the solution to the previously posted question.
Do not scroll any further if you do not want to see the solution.
Are you sure you want to see the solution?
It's all a matter of perspective.
They paid $30, which turned into a $25 pizza, and $5 change.
After getting their change, they had paid $27 for a $25 pizza,
and the delivery guy kept the $2 change.
There never was a missing dollar.
Only two people solved it. Aleila first, followed by Mirrim.

In the end it says:
"That means they paid $9.00 each, which times three is $27.00. The delivery
boy kept $2.00 for a tip. $27.00 plus $2.00 equals $29.00."
The last sentence is what confuses you. It should say "$27 _minus_ $2.00
equals $25.00."
The delivery boy took two dollars, he didn't add them.

I whole-heartedly disagree with the Eq decay, no offense snoop.
I have spent the majority of my time here building up my fig set,
I know there might be ways to fix the decay ect, but it sounds to me
like a shitload to code with new guilds ect.
Second, I think that the guild that would be created would never be
used...kinda like bard, ect.

As I was saying. if there was a guild formed, or even a branch added
onto an already existing guild tree, it would be rarely used.
Thus leaving us with eq that took us either a 10 hour eq party or
hours of doing gold to get, decaying as we speak.
Lastly, I have already talked to a few ppl about this, and some
would even quit mudding if it were to happen.

just want to add a few thoughts on to this.
I am not saying anything, im speaking as a non admin right now
1) if equipment was decaying, it would have to be easier to get
of course that also depends on how fast it decays, how hard
it is to fix etc.
2) personally i am more for a 'breaking' of equipment than decaying,
same idea but it decays as it hits a monster, or gets hit.
3) People threaten to quit all the time, no matter what you do to
your game, there are going to be those three groups of people,
a) those that love it
b) those that hate it, and pull the if you do that im quitting
thing on you
c) those that know its a 'game' and treat it as such, they either
adjust and play or dont.
Like I said I am not speaking as an admin here, just offering points of
view. Personally I have argued that I hated storing equipment from
day one, and you see 4 years later where it has gotten me :)

Ok, wonder why no one else has posted it yet. MA's blow goats for
under 1g players now. They really do. I'm not the only player to
note this, everyone else just have been quiet. Might be the
reistance tunes, might be the fact that this is planned for highbies
nwo with dragon masters?
I do way worse rates than I did with half of my worth some time ago.
I just don't do any damage. Just doesn't feel right I have to go
back to rates I did like 8 months ago? Another guild that is sad is
fighters. If you want to do anything with them, it's eq tanks for 1g
players.
Only fig typish guild doing ok anymore if assassins. They are ok.
Comparison, I do 2-3xbetter rates with a healer as assassin than as
a MA. Thought MA's were supposed to be damaging guild. Far from it.
Figs? I hear a 1.2G player does 30k rates with healer now, makes a
big man cry.
Is this a hint we all should be faeries wearing capes and swinging
our index fingers?
I don't know what to say. I know I'm whining but I love fig/fig
types guilds, and would like to play them.

I have a thought. Let's everyone be able to do the same rate,
regardless of guild, level, or skills/spells. It has to be
obscenely high though otherwise no one will be happy.
Posts like the one Im' following up to are not constructive posts.
All they are is whining. A potential solution never accompanies
them.. Of course there's also the fact that RD is undergoing a
fairly major change with the change to resistances. In cases like
that notifying staff of a potential problem is ok, but it needs not
be accompanied with cheese and whine.

Following up to this, Durin is correct. MAs aren't nearly as
powerful as they used to be or should be in the midbie range, though
they are great for the few elites who have the worth to be Dragon
Masters. At this time, I have not thought of a solution to aid the
midbie martial artists without giving Dragon Masters a great
advantage.
On another point, I disagree with Durin about fighters not being
very good now; the martial artist branch may be suffering a bit, but
midbie ranged warriors are not. As a xorn warrior, I was able to
max a 70k rate with a good healer, while only accomplishing a max of
40k as martial artist. Also, the statement about "let everyone do
the same rate" is pointless here as martial artists are an exp guild
and should be able to get exp faster than warriors because that is
all they can do.
While not arguing with it because I see the reasoning behind it, I
believe the change so that size affects hits did not help MAs any,
it just switched the good races from mantisman (which isn't very
good now at all) and vinnipier, to larger races such as xorn and
goron. I would like to maybe see dexterity play a larger role in
the martial artist guild than it does to help balance this. These
are my thoughts.

Since larger size helps do damage, regardless of stats, smaller size should
help avoid damage (i.e. dodge) regardless of stats. Smaller things should be
harder to hit. Otherwise, just go by stats since larger size races usually
have higher str (more damage) anyway. Should be a two-way street on size. -Zyz

Small races do on average get much better dex than large races which
allows them to dodge better.

My point is that large races get better str, thereby allowing them to hit
harder.. They don't need to do more damage since they are large. But
since they do,
smaller races should dodge better because they are small, even though they get
better dex already. Either have size matter both ways or not at all. -Zyz

Huoh, you sound as pointless as mortals. PUUH!
OF COURSE I COULS JUST REINC BACK TO THE GUILD I CAN MAKE EXP, but
I'm not whining for myself. I do this because there are other
players suffering too. This is a fact. Ok I reinc back to the guild
where I can get 70-90k rate with healer but if we all stay silent
about the things coming up in the mud, thing would end up pretty
fuc'ing messed and unbalanced. Thanks for briging yourself down to

Well first off, I should be the one getting flamed, not Tigran as he
didn't have
anything to do with the way MAs currently are today.
Second, this is what you call suffering silently? Geez I hope you never get

I would like to comment on the the portal code for enemy hp
being removed. I think that was one of the best features and
that it should be brought back into play.
After all, portal is free for all to use here on the RD
site. The choice not to use it is one's own to make.
If you chose not to use it, you also chose not to recieve
the benifits that come along with it. It's not unfair,
just go download the program, it costs you nothing to use
it and then you too can enjoy the benifits
why should game play be degraded for the fact that some
few are too lazy to download a program that is free to
use.

Is it lazy to not download a program that will not run on my computer?
The world doesn't revolve around Wintel (shocking as it may seem).
Also, the protocal is not open for the admins to customize to our mud.
(in fact any change to the protocal is against the license).
I think the real reason that the monster condition was removed was that
it was only suppose to be a vague gauge to the health of the monster,
but instead people were getting exact information on monster health every
round. Some player even set up triggers to report the monsters health.
That was never the intention when that feature of Portal was implemented.
I can rant endlessly about Portal, but I will stop here.

there was more to it than just that reason, the major one being
it made a few spells/skills pointless.
it may come back it may not we need to discuss it a bit,
Just an FYI, portal is only free till the end of June,
as of now we have not paid anything to continue it, dont know
if we will, not too many people switched to using portal,
not enough to justify the money for it.

Just a comment on portal.. Sirk made the comment:

it and then you too can enjoy the benifits
why should game play be degraded for the fact that some
few are too lazy to download a program that is free to

I really don't agree with that philosophy. Maybe portal isn't the
best client to use for some people. People on some operating
systems can't run portal, as Phire pointed out. Also the argument
can be made, of why should players be forced into changing their
client if they think Zmud or tinyfugue or SimpleMU* or tintin is
better for them?
I would also make an argument against a mud trying to dictate which
client a player should use. I don't think that has been done here.
But definitly no client should give one player an advantage over
someone who doesn't have the client. An by advantage, I'm not
meaning triggers or no triggers. I'm meaning features that the mud
supports specifically for one client that it doesn't or can't for
another, or that can't be emulated by most other cilents.
The opponents hpbar is an example of that.
disclaimer: Portal may be a fine client. I've never tried it. I'm
not saying anything against it specifically.

Correct me if I am wrong, but couldnt the mud send out a signal so
that any client could have exact hp% every round? This is not a
portal issue. The issue is wether or not you are to be told exact
information every round which seems somewhat unrealistic without the
aid of some type of skill or spell.

I just thought, maybe the problem is (at least for the

of criticals. Small criticals are useless and the fact that they
might come a bit more frequest doesn't help at all.

any client could use these functions if u did spend some time doing
triggs for it..
i used zmud with the portal codes, but the problem was it was a bit
cheap to get that information, which made gaze, diagnose etc not
worth it..
but i really miss being able to get shape each round, wouldnt hurt
if this hp% was back with a random +-5% on it or maybe just
condition..

date: Sat Jun 17 05:00:44 2000
I dunno if it's a general feature, or just the monsters are coded in
this area (w/o named creator it seems), but an aggro monster tracked
me (I love big aggro monsters tracking when I explore). I managed to
flee from it. I went few rooms away from it, and noticed it tracked
that far, so I walked out of the area, and 5 secs after, I noticed
it tracked on 10+ rooms out of the area.
Should tracking monsters be abble to leave an area? and that _fast_?
shouldn't they need a skill to move by 1-2 max rooms/round?
It sucks to do some explore, and die, wait for a nice player to ress
you, wait 4 mins to take the boat back, to be abble to go back to
the area.
Even if you flee fast enough before it hits you, it tracks you, so
you meet it, you're RIP unless you have a lodestone (if you don't
lag, and can run far, and can use it within the 5 spare sec before
it arrives)

I hope such a feature, if reimplemented, will return only the
shape of the monster, not the monster hp %. People should use
diagnose/thumb screws/gaze etc to find out such things, not just
get it "for free" each round. It's quite easy to make a trigger
for e.g. TF to gag out portal info and report monster hp, so
it's not really an unfair advantage for portal users in partcular.

The problem that I see here is that, since it comes every round, it
would be very easy to write a trigger that intercepts it every round
and averages them together, bringing it closer to +-1%

since when was diagnose giving useful info? Has it been changed
when I was away? Last time I tried it it was about as generic
as consider in the info it gave.

Sorry, the topic should be Exorcists.
First off I would like to ask why their offensive spells were lowered.
My most powerful spell was Extremely High, and thats with Hef at
100% and other affecting skills 87%+.
Roughly 345 wis and close to 300 Int, and the spell at 95%. Which is maxxed.
Now, that is a fairly powerful spell, but it is restricted to an
extremely small number of areas, like 2.
White Flame was a spell that again was maxxed at 95%, and dmg was
VHigh. However, instead of 4 rounds like the previous spell, this
was 5 rounds, and could in fact damage any type of mob.
These spells were fairly powerful, but restrictive in their own ways.
After those two spells the dmg on the only other spell I used was
"Impressive" which isn't hardly.
Compared to the opposite guild, Harmer, these spells are extremely weak.
Granted we do have heal spells and regen spells, but they might add
another 60 sps/tock.
Harmers on the other side, have a small heal spell, and a way to
regen that outdoes by far and away any healer regen spell.
Now I know some of you are thinking, "Well healers should not be
able to solo nearly as well as harmers."
Well prior to the tune, we couldnt even come close.
Now after, were trailing by even more.
I know healers arent sposed to be able to solo as well, for they are
a party guild.
Well, if you look around at some of the idiots that join parties,
you'll know why I for one prefer to solo.
Plus it gives us something to do when there arent enough ppl around to party.
Enuf rambling, Time for another reinc.
Q the disappointed.

Hmm...my most powerful spell is habo, which costs a lot of sps
and is only more powerful on large mobs (100k range), and only
more powerful for the first 1 or 2 casts for them.
My next highest is Very High.
At worst, white flame is very slightly inferior damage wise
to this 2nd best spell (peel flesh). (I have a belief it
is quite a bit better, based on the damage rating I got on
each...white flame with no masteries as ent, and peel flesh when I
first reinced harmer and had the mastery for it trained fairly low,
but things, even before this tune, have changed since then).
To say these spells are extremely weak is dubious at best, especially
with the magnitude of efficient healing, and the number of protection
spells a healer can get. I have no complaints in that regard, but
I know healers end up with better protection than me (or did, don't
think tune affected that), and can spend a lot less resources
recovering from what damage they do get.
Also, I think you missed the tune on the regen spell that outdoes
your regen spells (2x my tock enhancing spell...btw, you aren't
counting entock or martyric presence...I can't evaluate how much
of a gain they give myself) "far and away". With 113% mastery,
and 114% in the skill, I lose my vessel about 1 out of 5 or 6
times...that is 1200 sps to get that back, with a maximum gain
(for a lucky usage) of about 1100. With the frequency of usage,
what exactly I have to DO to fill my vessel to the brim to get
that a return anywhere near that, and the other things I need
that stuff for, I'm thinking "far and away" is an overstatement.
As for not coming close...hmmm...well, I don't know your rate...
was it 10k before the tune or something? That would qualify.
All I can say is for low risk killing, my rate is about 20k to
30k. With high risk killing (what I do all the time...where
lag pretty much guarantees death), my rate is about 40k sustained.
(which, while excluding my frequent deaths unless there is no
lag, I consider a very good rate). This is with 119% hef,
and NO mastery below 110%, and phys res and ac boosting
fighter eq...also assuming I don't get 2 vessel breaks in a
row too...that kills my ability to kill anything for about 4 tocks.

Hmm...if your rate is, post tune, anywhere near 20k or 30k,
and you're doing the low risk killing I think you re as healer,
I really don't think there is anything wrong, and I'm pretty sure
on talking to Blonk that some sort of tune was very much in
order, heh. Though he's no Dfalt...yet. (watch that guy...
I don't trust people with good holy damage spells...*shiver*)

Personally I think portal can screw their license and I would do whatever
I feel like with the protocol. I feel more like implementing our own

I dont think exorcist's holy spells where too strong, but too
cheap. There are some eqmonsters designed to use holy damage
on, and they where pretty slow to kill as it was before. The blasting
healers never had a chance to get tapped thought, due to low
cost, and spellcastingtime was about as sorcerer spells.
So higher spell cost as only change whould keep healers ability
to be holy-eqblasters, while they get a more appropriate solorate.
Notice that nowadays the primary requirement for solo
is good protection and cheap heals, compared to a year ago
when effective attackspells was what mattered.
And healer and harmer prots seems much better than any
elemental body-spells now.

Hmmm...I think you may have a point with SP cost, I dunno,
I was just comparing.
I can say, for CERTAIN, that mist mage body spells were
much better than my protections a few months ago. Dunno how
recent tunes affect that, though, but I don't see it being
much worse now (but that is purely a guess).

Did not count in mist form when i said body spells.
Mist form lower hits pretty much.
But no regular body spell protects more than my
fighter set does.

You can't really compare mist mage prots against other prots on
an equal level. Well, unless you consider a 200-300 spr loss
due to no eq trivial that is :)

Due to looking at the party object, and command and realizing

I am going to rewrite.
If there is anything that you woudl like changed/added/

just my 2 cents... but i think it would be cool to have a force
party leader command
in the event that your tank goes idle for a large amout of time...
you dont have to set and wait when you have another tank in the
party. just an ideal.

Some party ideas, just brainstorming, some are maybe all ready suggested.
Party reset.
Resets the counter, total exps etc, to get a new fresh status on the party
Party shake
Clears pf, so that everyone except the leader has pf off, really good if u
want get the members into trouble, or just move very long without bringing
all of them with you.
Party ignore movement
Since if you have more then 3-4 members in the party and move a long
distance it errors and u lose the ability to do multiple commands until
you reconnect it would be a nice feature if u want to run long distances
without being spammed to hell with the party movement.
Party shares
Shows the percentage and exps each member has gained from the party.
Party combat report on/off
Reports each time your hps,eps,sps changes into the party or maybe that
would spam to much. Would be nice with an ability to report this without
the use of triggers. either to the party or just a single report.
And since i like hall of fame stuph...
- Top 10 Best total exp gained in a party. (in a reboot/10hrs?)
- Top 10 Best player gained from a party.

the others are all good ideas, and I made note of them....
This one im not sure i understand, your asking to have the
party members stand still, and not really move?
or just ignore the messages, in the second case of
ignoring the messages, I dont think that will solve anything,
you would still more than likely eval out and error.
Personally rather than using things like 10e, I woudl prefer
you to use your clients to send 10 'e' commands to the
mud that would solve the entire problem, as each of those
woudl get done independantly.

Another nice party feature would be some way to make the party say line more
real. Like party say last would be really cool. I guess we could hack it to
create a private channel, and force invite anyone who joins. The only problem
with this would be changing party leader

that was what I was thinking of doing. what does switching
leaders have to do with it? unless you mean the channel owner
I was going to look at making the party object the owner.

I think all the other ideas have been great,
especially the auto reporting in combat, which will
help people often lagged (me) or often using telnet
(me again). It would be nice if this info could be
sent to some kind of party info channel, as opposed
to party social chat channel. This would mean the
party channel history buffer wont be filled with
spam.
I have a couple of other ideas:
party loot -> party leader will set a member
of the party to autoloot any time any of the party
makes a kill. Also have a tally of the amount of gold
looted in the party status. Other options for this
might be party loot off, and party loot share
(calculate split of loot, and either do it, or report
on party channel what each should get)
party topic -> Like a channel topic, you
could set a message 'Bard needed', 'Party full',
'Slaughtering Sidhes', 'Levels 10-20 invited' etc.
Also regarding pf, for when you die or go linkdead,
the party object could remember your status and
return you to it.

"party last" does this already, but you are right in that it works different
from a regular channel.

Only problem with this is, alot would have a ball getting pks this

I'd suggest not allowing for leader changes in combat as a general basis.

You cannot change a party leader in combat. You can rearrange the
party, however (which is useful in eq parties).
However, the potential still exists to go to a creature, force pl
somebody, then attack & leave, leaving the leader to be killed.
While it sounds like a nice, useful idea, I don't suggest adding it.

Mortal . o O ( Mist form down! )
Thats great, I'm happy for you.

the only thing i like for the 'think' command is when prots fall.
also for the tock thing, if your in a party, it is nice to know if
you missed a tick or not when blasting, usually healers can see
them.
anyway, people are probably just going to resort to 'say' command or
something with all this.
other than that i agree, seeing 10 tick trigs go off at once is quite annoying

If you are in a party, 'party say' is probably the best choice for
spamming party members.
And as for people resorting to the 'say' command, or some other emote,
annoying people will be annoying people. But consider the 'think' command
to be a service we provide for those who can't figure out how to make their
client echo.

The "think" emote was a perfectly legit emote in its own right before the
client people took it hostage. he SPLE (Society for the Preservation of
Legacy Emotes) demands that this emote be restored back to its original
glory and make stuff like "think tick" or "think tock" do evil and nasty
things (disconnect, nuke, drop all eq ...)

subject: 1h v 2h weapons
date: Sat Jun 24 03:46:28 2000
Bringing the 1h v 2h races issue to the fore again, I'd
like to offer some comments on weapons. Consider the
following two weapons, a large axe and a rapier. For
simplicity we class both these as slashing (ignore the
piercing capability of a rapier for now). Granted a
huge giant with phenomonal strength could do a great
deal of damage with the axe if he hit you with it
because of the sheer power of the hit, and bladed fury
reflects this by being a str stat affected skill.
However a highly dexterious grorrark should also be
able to do massive damage with a smaller 1h rapier type
sword, by hitting with precision, finding gaps in
armor, aiming for vital areas etc, similar to a thief.
A similar situation occurs also with blunts, with a
huge club being treated the same as a wooden staff. The
club mostly does its damage depending on how hard you
bash somebody with it (str). The staff however is a
more potent weapon by someone who can move it into
position quickly to fend blows, and follow it with
fast, precise blows (dex).
Now one problem with this is that it basically ignores
the fact that what is a large cumbersome weapon
(requiring two hands to wield) for a 1h race, becomes a
reasonably lightweight weapon able to fit in one hand,
for a 2h race.
And what can we do about this? We could categorise
weapons in a more specific way than just 'slashing' or
'blunt'. Or perhaps we could have new guilds under the
warrior tree that specialise in 1h weapons, offering
skills based on dex.
I don't have any specific outcome in mind, except to
get people thinking about it.

subject: tanks
date: Sat Jun 24 04:02:18 2000
This relates to my previous post on 1h v 2h weapons, and also on
the new party system.
Liz god has just been arguing with his son again. All he ever does
is hang around, scuffing his dark leather boots on the floor.
Suddenly Baer the giant bursts in, followed by a bunch of faeries
who start blasting at him. Liz god, already aggravated by his
nagging son, takes a swing at the first thing he sees, the giant
tank.
This is how party tanks work now.
A red dragon lies here, sleepily enjoying life deep in the caves.
The crunch of approaching footsteps awakens her, and the stinging
sensation of the first magma boulder sends her into full combat.
However she is not as stupid as Liz God, and deduces that the
giant is litle threat. She whips her tail about, targetting the
3rd party member (a tiny faerie sorceror) and with that kill,
stops 50% of the damage she was taking.
This is a more 'realistic' scenario. Big 2h tanks may be able to
take more damage, but a small fast 1h tank may be able to get
across to deflect that damage away from the small faerie. A tank
with less people behind him to protect will have a better chance
of protecting them properly. Healers also will have a tougher
time, having to party heal more often, and be on the watch out for
party members other than tanks taking too much damage.
Again, just something to think about..

In my effort to be brief, I confused some people. A tank should not
have to just be big. They should use their shield to defend with,
not their body. Now here is an example:
If a monster gets 4 attacks in a round, maybe a high dex tank can
get to parry 3 of them, taking 50% of the damage of each, where as a
giant tank with a huge shield will only get to 1 or 2 and parry
maybe 90% of the damage.

I am confused about how the party size being restricted to 10 makes
it easier to estimate how much damage a party can do than if the
size is restricted to 15 or higher.
While it is rare to see serious xp parties with more than 10 people,
some of our most successful eq parties had more than 10 people. This
mud does not have a large player base and we made the most of what
was available - added lots of midbie blasters to the party. I
realize it was posted that if necessary the bigger eq monsies will
be tuned (sometime - probably after a series of 5 hour failures)
but it's about more than just being able to kill the monster, it
was FUN to hang out with so many people and it was FUN to have
some lower level people experience something that they might not
usually get invited in, and certainly will not now that slots have
to be rationed.

Its very simple, 10 max members mean at max something like 6 blasters
which gives a max limit of damage output they can do whatever their
levels. If you have no limits, you have no clue about what damage
a party can do. Seems pretty clear to me.

Let me sum up a response to Baer:
Your ideas are logical and well presented. I will remember that if I
ever am in combat with a dragon in real life. This however is a game.
Lots of things don't make sense. How many times have you take a sword
blow to the head and been just scratched? Can you really picture some guy
putting up a sword to keep the claw of 100 foot + dragon from hitting him?
combat is an abstraction. The messages are there for interest but it
isn't realistic. Combat is just a way to get things done. Such as gaining
experience and getting loot, and getting quests done.
All that to say its a game don't expect realism. Enjoy the game.

Yes, the reason for a limit is very clear. I probably didn't phrase
my question very well. Basically, it was why is the limit such a
low number?
People are not reliable. Not always their own fault but things happen,
people lose links, have to deal with irl emergencies, etc etc. We had
our greatest success adding redundancy in key positions. If Rambo had
to go eat that was ok coz Austin was there to take over. It was worth
the extra dicing position for a second abjurer because it we just
kept going.

I have to agree with Lasher on this.
10 people is a relatively small number for an eq party.
I do understand that tunes will be made to the larger eq mobs to
make them doable by a 10 person party, but I've asked around-
and no one is particularly interested in being the 6 hour + 'guinea
pig' party.
This simply meaning no one wants to be in an extremely long failure
of an eq party.
Some ideas for numbers I have thought of is 13 and 15.
If the limit was 15, I believe that tunes to larger eq mobs would
not be needed, because a party of 15 should be plenty to take any
mob.
a party of 13 would be close, but lesser tunes would be needed,
anyway, just throwing out a couple ideas.

ok,the party size is now 10 and there was some discussion about
the monsters being abit easier after that change, well the size
has been lowered now, so could the monsters be lowered abit too?
i tried to tank morrigu which has pretty crappy eq with 2,5k hps
all skills at 90%+ (not blade parry ,only shield) and abjurer
i got in and she hitted oof 1,5k hp's with couple hits. i think Morrigu
is too tough compared to her eq, as are meny other monsters in here.
i have no clue how hard it can be to balance the monsters now, but
you gotta start somewhere.
and no, i won't go play bat mud, coz this mud rocks anyway.

newbie oriented exp or small eq monsies would be cool. I dont know

You need to explore more. There are numerous monsies out there that
if newbies/lowbies/ and midbies would spend the time to kill, they
could get.
However, alot of players only want the best eq, so they won't
"waste" time trying to get lesser eq. To them, their time is better
spent doing exp and gold.
The fact is is that if newbies/lowbies want this sort of eq, odds
are that they are gonna be the ones that have to make the initiative
to go out and get it. There are probably highbies out there that
would be willing to help if you approached them kindly.

EQ is really fun, whether you're low, mid or high elvel. Its so
cool to get a group of guys together and stress and strain and get
something for it :)
You guys of low level should get your own eq insteaad of endless
gold runs to buy stuff from highbies imo...

i must say i agree but unfortunately by definition most newbies have

Regarding newbies getting eq, I just wanna say it's not
too hard once you find monsters you can kill 10
or more of without having to run back for healing
after every single one. Newbies can do the money run, checkout the
shops in town for eq to fill empty slots or mediocre stuff to
replace their crap stuff. I dunno about buying eq from highbies
since I'm poor, have 3 primary weapons and enough armor to
fill me to 90%+ carry capacity. Smacking some quests for
quick advancement nd boost in power is alot of help at my level.
Also want to thank Alisha for getting me a chest in her castle. ;>
I don't think there was free storage for newbies when I started,
dunno if there
is now, but helps ALOT to be able to keep a cool
weapon you blew half ur meager wealth on.
For fast exp, I recommend newbies just go find tiny mobs and kill a
bunch for 50-150 exps each instead of wasting an hour trying to kill
the 1k-5k guy for his big exps.
Uh.. I recommend Yensid lands- earwigs and sideburners are a snap,
Fire and Ice lands not too bad. Other places were rough on me till after
level 5 even though they were supposed to be newbiemobs. Grasshoppers kicked
my head off a couple times I recall. *grin*
Kobolds fun for newbie in nosuck or newbie party or some cool race,
dunno why it has level limit below 15 snice kobolds are
a bit tough methinks.
Ah well, an end to my rambling. :)

Please reinstate the 100k exp cost for the lottery. Giving millions of
free exp is contrary to the point of gaming. For the same reasons you
tune guilds and items that are too strong, make the lottery have a cost
equivalent to the benefits. If free tickets are given away, the lottery
should be worth at most a couple million. Watching people risk nothing to
make more exp than I earn in weeks of actually playing is kinda sickening.

isn't that the way lotteries are supposed to work? you risk something
small and trivial (in this case nothing I suppose) and you win obscenely
large amounts of stuff (see real life lottery). plus if you just buy the
one ticket you have a pretty slim chance of winning anyhow. plus, its
not like you're NOT getting the free ticket. I'm sure if you win you will
be singing praises of the lottery.

Real lotteries have people risking more than the winner wins. This lottery
starts off with 6million exp in the pot and is worth more than everybody put
into it. If people can't afford the 100k to buy a ticket, then they should not
have a chance at the 29million that will multiply their worth by 500
times. The
concept of a lottery is fine, just make it a lottery and don't give
people more
than everyone together put in. Especially do not make a chance to win free.
There are other events that give free stuff, such as egg hunt,
golden rain, and
the weapon events (stone sword, etc). However, the prizes are minor
in the long
run. This prize starts off very large (6m exp) and goes way up. Some highbies
who can throw 2m away without blinking basically engage in an exp
transfer option
to a bunch of newbies who get the free ticket. Without the free ticket, the
people who would gain most from the lottery would have to take the most risk.
That is how the lottery was first made, and that is how the lottery should be.
And I'd still dislike how it is if I won it, similar to how I would dislike
having dest powers or invulnerability. It's just not gaming. -Zyz

For those eq-parties, players should work their way up.
I'm not saying this to be nasty and greedy, but because it's
most fun for everyone.
When i was a lowbie we used to kill all the eqmonsters in
the sidhe area, with a fighter without parry tanking, and elementals,
or what we could find, blasting.
Then worked up and was able to kill the big hard stuff (cenoba)
with blade parry, and perhaps some sorcerer added.
Now everyone seems to spend their time in expparties until level 50,
and then start jumping into top-eq-parties.
Might think it's sad that just a few players may see the cool top-
monsters, but remember they are just a few out of many cool
monsters to enjoy and kill. And also, what's fun with Tiamat as
party-kill when most people you know has it too?
Hopefully we will see level 49 eq tanks again, when the level
not always reinc caster when in eq mood.
First time succeding to kill Trex or Spidranox and such, as tank or
primary healer, was much more fun than killing Chimera as a
little "blasterslave".
Killing the biggest early may ruin lots of fun.

I lost 500k exp (which is quite a bit for me) in the first exp
lotto, before the free ticket(and if there was a free ticket, i
missed it). And I saw somone win that I really dislike. I would have
doubled my worth, but I didn't, I lost exp. And I STILL LIKE THE
LOTTERY. All you think about is the fact that you lost exp or
whatever. You have a chance at winning just like everyone else, so
it's really pretty fair. The only unfair thing is that highbe's have
a better change due to the fact that they can throw out more exp. I
don't think any tuning needs to be done, except mabye make the
tickets cost more the more you buy, or have cost be level based to
make it equal. So if highbies or lowbies buy 3 tickets, it should be
equivalant to thier worth (i.e. a certain percent of the worth).

Make it equal? If the highbie wins it means shit to him. If the newbie
wins it multiplies his worth by ten. This is already an event that
gives the newbies a change to become a midbie in an instant while the
prize for a highbie is a few days worth of exp.

Look at it this way.
Each time lottery is run it gives 100k exp to every player
because after 100 runnings you will win 100*ticket price,
in probability calculations.
100k free exp to all newbies is much for being an event,
isn't it?
Old explottery without free tickets where totally fair,
because durin 1000000 events each players worth will
oscillate below and above start-worth, ans almost all
players will land on a worth very near their start-worth.

I would just like to clear one thing up. The lottery starts with
1M in the pot (not 6M) and the pot goes up approx 90k for each
100k ticket bought. The 1M is piddly compared to the pot and is
just there to get your interest peaked.
And frankly if an admin decides to give a player a bunch of exp
or a highbie gives a newbie some great eq, or drags them a bit, I
really dont see where it is any of your business.
Maybe it is fun, and this is a game, after all.

...which is immediatly ripped from them and given to the
closest highbie.
Sure, if it was run every few hours this might be true, but
it has only been run like 6 or 8 times by hand. Probability
distrubutions simply don't mean squat in this situation.
I just knew when I wrote the damn thing that people would start
complaining. In 4 years on this mud I haven't seen one thing
ever added, changed, or taken away that hasn't brought whines.

I think the free ticket idea is great, but a tune does need to be
made. How about like 10% of the ticket cost goes into the lottery,
so it doesn't balloon up to 25mil, but stays around whatever it
starts at and only increases by a small amount. I too don't think
it's fair to have someone spend nothing and get THAT much exp, but I
love the idea of the lottery itself.

i think that the free ticket isn't that great. i'm ok if someone
wins 30m from just buying one ticket from 100k, but if someone who
didn't risk ANYTHING and took if from the people who did, its
outrageous. I think the structure of the lotto is pretty cool, but
the free ticket thing is ridiculous

Youaware that that is how most things in real life happen? Some
newbie gets a free ticket and maybe wins verses snoop's 20 tickets?
if theres a free ticket to all that means you got one too, dont like
it, only buy one ticket ordont play. Btw, i dont hear any of these
complainers boycotting the lottery if they dont like it. So you are
getting you free ticket too.

You guys never cease to amaze me...
Someone spent some time to redo a lottery that I had removed,
in fact he redid it within a few hours of that time. You have
the chance to win X exp, and all you can do is sit and whine about
how X isn't fair, or Y gets a bigger payout from it.
You know what else isn't fair. That wizards try to do
stuff to help the mud and make play 'fun' and they get
bitched at for it.

For those who want to try it out, you can now access the guild tree
via http://guildtree.peris.org. There's an annoying little bar at
the bottom, so I don't recommend it, and you can still reach it via
the dark.x.dtu.dk address as well. This is just a quirky little

I really have to agree with Marvin on this one. When the exp
lottery was initiated, everyone complained that the newbies
weren't given a fair shake because they couldn't chunk 2m
into the pot in order to win. Why those poor little low worth
people couldn't even *play* at all because they'd *never*
even have the 100k on them. (Nevermind the fact they can't
play in blob, healer, tess, azarian, or any of the other
'highbie' events)
So someone decided to take pity on them, and gave *everyone*
one free shot (however small) at the pot.
Now there's nothing but complaints about how newbiex won
and doubled his worth and what a horrific tragedy it is.
If I remember correctly, in the old lottery, exp was
considered one of the 'dummy' prizes because it was
'only' 100k or so. What a gyp, I can make 100k doing
the 25k gold it took me to pay for the lottery.
How about we just nuke all the events? I'm jealous that
I can't get that cool suit of chicken feathers, or a
carebear smiley pendant. Maybe they should make all
events geared towards people with worth of 50k so there's
no reason to play RD other than the tedious eq parties.
But hey, if everything's geared towards 50k, then a
level 20 could go in and blast Tiamat solo. Wouldn't
that be a awesomely fun mud to be on?
Why bother playing a mud unless you have something new
to look forward to as you get bigger and stronger?
I wish everyone would just stop and think a bit
before posting meaningless complaints about the mud.
Be happy that you have admin that are constantly
trying to improve it. (Even if they *do* get it wrong
sometimes ;)

Holy fuck this ticket has some inflation on it!
If Marvin says its 1m + 90k per player, bugger me if it can get anywhere
NEAR 25 or 30m

You know, People say this is all a game, Its AMAZING how close to
real life this is
my GF works as a safty officer in a powerplant, She offered to get
the whole crew
NICE safty glasses, for no reason they all bitched and hence NOBODY
got ANYTHING.
She offered to get 5 helmets for working boilers so they don't need
to carry huge
tanks of air, and it would help keep them cool, price was about
5,000 per helmet
they all bitched and whined cause they ALL wouldn't get one and
would have to share
hence NOBODY got anything.
Lesson, quit bitching and be glad you get SOMETHING, think the imms
are asses? unfair?
go play bat, last I played there the imms were asses knew it and
didn't care cause
dumb ass players always came back for more.
if you think lotto is unfair, DON'T play but DON'T screw it for the
rest of us.

Someone probably corrected mix after his post, but I
will anyway. Is 1m +90k per ticket
and since plenty of the highbies could buy 19 of the
100k tickets, they added something like 1.71 mill to
the pot. Maybe if the ticket newbies
could get for free added it's 90k to the pot, they'd
be less annoyed at etting us get free ticket? (ince it makes the pot
bigger even if we risk nothing- their prize
grows with only slight increase in risk and 0 increase in
cost to them.)
Just a correction and a thought.

Why should it add 90k per 100k to the pot if you're getting it free?
You get something for free, you're risking nothing. Only those that
are actually buying tickets are risking something.
Can't you people be friggin happy about this? You get a FREE CHANCE!!!!!
Need me to keep adding caps & !!!'s in there? or have you got the
jist of it yet?
Myself, I don't like the event, but cause I don't think any single
person should such an amount of exp at a single shot. But now that
I've said it, I'll just deal with things the way they are, as the
rest of you should.

I was thinking 90k added to pot from free tickets would
soothe complaints from highbies by increasing benefit to them if
more players.. ah well. Marvin
says the free tickets did add 90k to the pot in last lotto due to glitche.
I was grateful for free ticket, and 2 mill or 25 mill would have
been equally cool for me,
just thought bigger prize would make highbies less reluctant to moan
over newbie free ticket
entries.
Ah well. Lotto was fun/cool but it seems people think only folks who
should win are folks for whom it wouldn't be a big deal anyway.

After reading Kalma, Wildchild and Zifnab's posts about the wiz
people not getting respect for trying to help people, I realized
that this is very true for anything. All the people that complain
about the lotto want to see is them win so they can brag to
everyone. In real life, bosses and leaders of all types try to make
things fair, but nothing can be perfect so some person gets the
shaft. And when somone tries to fix somthing and somone does get
screwed, everyone whines about how it isn't fair. Life isn't fair
and you should be happy that people are actually out there trying to
make everyone happy. If you have ever tried to be the person in
charge who's duty it is to make things fair, who will see that it's
a very hard and stressfull job. A few people have made posts about
how you should be lucky to have people watching out for you, and I
stand behind them 100%. If there is one thing I have noticed about
people on here, it's that they whine. Everyone wants everything to
be perfect for them, even if it's at the expense of somone else.

Humans are genetically created to suspect and dislike changes.
That's because for humans many thousands of years ago, moving
or changing food might get them stronger, but could as well kill
them. The ones that avoided changes apparently where most
successful and left more descendants. You know what you have
but not what you will get.
On the other hand creators and scientists always defend their
creations and theories, defending harder the bigger effort they
put into it. This need to defend wont stop however much other
people convince them that they are wrong.
I think Newton was one that lived his whole life firmly believing
in all his big theories that made him famous, even after some
of them where proven wrong.
Watch out for when your brain's defense-mechanisms makes you
blind to the truth, and try to have patiense with other's.

I was wrong about the party limit of 10, it turned out to be enough to
kill everything we tried (without taking a gazer, but when you just kill
everything with habo who needs one right? :). So, I take back what I said
about that part.
I still think it is a problem to have people sit idle that could be helpful
in the party - especially when they reinced to do eq with you, but, this only
happened a couple of times. I also believe that the party limit signifies the
death of the bard guild other than as a secondary unless something
changes (don't
need one, don't want one, give me an extra blaster anyday).

I say leave it on Oddworld, as the domain is specifically for those
types of things, but extend the time to atleast 5 minutes, maybe
longer, since waiting on the ferry alone takes 3 minutes. Otherwise,
it's start a game, wait out the time while people try to arrive,
then spam a second time to create a second game once people finally
arrive.

I dont want to start an arquement, but if it wasnt for animal
testing modern medicine (with all its antibiotics etc) would not
exist...medicines need to be tested..if they are not tested (on
animals/humans/etc) sad cases like that in the 60s with deformed
babies occur.
'stupid' testing may not be nice.. but then expect to die at 40 and
live like they did 150yrs ago

Oh come on, don't tell me you're naive enough to believe this

Animal testing on the WHOLE is as humane as possible, and for the

well now that there are comments... i work in clinical
research..that is we test new non-approved drugs on humans... and i
get all the previous animal test reports... everything is regulated
and controlled... mice, rats and dogs are usually tested... and i
can tell you as far as my company is concerned there is no sewing
involved
generally the animals are 'sacrificed' after testing so they have to
experience minimum pain/discomfort
it is not nice but it is by far the most sane solution

Actually.. they do grill them. I've seen pictures of it, and
pictures of lots more. and as far as your 'mouse vs. human life'
comment, that stupid. theyre OUR tests, if we're so into them we
should use OURSELVES not innocent animals.

I don't think we should do it on humans
but not on animals either
but just because they dont' seem smart some of the animals are smarter than us
don't even
well
they should simulate it with there cool gadgets and stuff

In the last couple of weeks sp costs on all vulns have reised with about 200%.
in about 4 weeks ago they costed around 100sps/spell and for about
1-2 weeks ago they costed like 140sps/spell,
but now they are up in 200+/spell and this makes it hard for
abjurers from my perspective. all those prots is very expensive to
cast and Aura of Force costs some too. and now when you lose even
more sps when you vuln you get tapped in no time.
I know this isen't a problem when doing eq, becouse eq parties regen
alot, but for abjurers like myself that does alot of non-stop exp
without regen times makes it really hard to please the party.
I think sps costs would be lowerd on vulns.
Just my two cents.

Well I would say most people are against grilling of dogs on general
principle.
But PETA has some really really whacked out positions.
First they would like to ban ALL animal medical testing (kiss the
hope for a cure
for cancer goodbye, the FDA will never let medicines be tested on
people without a
full regime of animal testing first)
Second, PETA wants animals that are "intelligent" (which they don't
objectively
devine) to have full rights, yet not have any responsibility for their rights.
(So if a chimpansee took a gun and shot someone, the chimp can not be help
responsible for their action)
I will give PETA credit for one thing, they are the masters at taking up
extreme positions to get FREE AIR TIME in the media. And that is
what counts for
alot these days, sadly enough.

This post is a way over the line, to wake a debate?
There are alot of romours in the mud now that there are a few people
cheating and gets exps, eq, tps from admins. Some of these players are
the admins secondary. others rl friends. Not sure if its true that
player ? gets 1-20M exps each time he logs in, or if another has got
5k tps, or another has got an object that can give him 3 wiz heals
when he touches it...
And second, there was a rule amongst players in here to always report
when things where "too good to be true", but it seems that doesnt apply
to all, its up too the admin that discovers that the player has been
able to cast multiple spells at the same time, unwear/wear an object
and use its specials to say if it was a bug abuse or not...or when the
pearl made it so you could cast dual spells, some players did go chest
the pearl, others abused it and did almost dual rates for a long time.
or the famous silver belt abuse...
Or when after a huge change in the mud, if something was out of the tune
spells, eq, monsies resists, you report it to the admins or get into
trouble, like when poisons was insane...
Botting, multiplaying is another thing, since there is no code of honor
amoungs the players now it seems that botters are showing their ugly face
again, and sure its easy and tempting to make triggers to do things for
you when your tank does things or is hurt below a certain percent. now
people look at me odd, and think are u nuts? not autoattacking triggs
or auto healings?
Overall it is not really this bad in here, yet, but it starts to get like
this, so writing this post to wake ppl up...
Of course i hope someone says this is just pure lies, romours and has
nothing what so ever to do in rd.
Forward with the holy handgrenade.
And with some honor amoungs players, and let the others hang their heads
in shame...

Well, I'm not for killing animals or anything, but my advice would
be to research such a thing yourself, if your willing to sign it in
the first place or feel strongly about it, research should be a
normal thing.
Altho, I wish they would just experiment on really dumb people
rather than on a dog or something.
Besides, it's the dumb people that are constantly.
And the smart people know better.
However, us smart people are getting out numbered, fast.

Yes this post is way over the line. You are mixing truths and made up facts
freely to create an image of a evil conspiracy. You are suggesting that it
isn't fair that admin characters have unlimited tps (what are we supposed to
do, send the money to charity? Giving yourself money doesn't make sense). Or
that the admin chars have received free exp and eq. If I was to actually
play the game at the same level as you I wouldn't have time to fix the bugs
you whine about or implementing new features. Frankly, I can't see why you
would even care.
And get a clue, if I want to cheat heal myself I will just use my wiz char
to do so. Of what use would such an object you suggest be? It doesn't exist,
never has.
What is this ramble about bug abuse going unpunished about? It is like you
are asking us to know everything and punish everybody or nobody. When you
commit a crime there is a change you get away with it and there is a change
you don't. If you keep doing it you will get caught sooner or later. And
damn yes it is up to the admin to judge, who else could do it?
I know you are mad because you think Lasher was doing eq too easy. But you
haven't convinced me that it is actually the case, you haven't come with any
well known examples just second hand rumours. There are too many oppinions
on what is a fair time for a top tier party to kill a top tier eq monster.
You consider doing Xetrov in 2 hours to be "too good to be true", others
don't so why would they report it? As a game designer I can't really see how
it would make the game more fun to drag that fight longer. As it was a 10
man party the reward was 5 hours pr item which doesn't seem unreasonable.
You probably disagree because you had eq parties that took longer, but since
you don't really want me to play the game I wouldn't know. Besides just
because to took too long in the past doesn't mean we won't improve
on that.
Other please feel free to tell us what you think about the time it takes to
do an eq kill. I am sure the rest of the admins are interrested in the
players oppinion on this too.

Ah hmm maybe i shouldnt care, and yeah i think admins should have
secondaries with some help, but with all the info you have, you should
know the mud alot better then the players...
And maybe iam just thinking of the old time when you didnt have to have
so much exps to be useful. If you have to spend hundreds of hours infront
of the computer to be useful its a pain, and increases peoples hunger
for making bot triggs...

Oh *getting himself a clue and stops listening to certain people* And looks

nothing to do with you, *cough silverbelt* hmm amulet of darkness, anything
else that used to heal freakin much, maybe that dagger also, did i miss

Well when the pearl was freaked out, certain players did go chest it until
it was fixed, others did start abuse/use it but didnt report it...or hmm
yeah forgot iam just rambling...there was no such bug either..but in the
case if there was or will be, i want players to report it or get spanked
on the butt.
But then again you are right, the admins are the judges.

Its rather ok that it takes 2hrs to kill a level 5 eq monsie, but its a laf
if it takes them 2-3mins to kill chara, xacthar etc and not reporting it, or
if they just used a single spell to kill all types of monsies...
Especially since there are some midlvl eq monsies that has the top items
for their slots or maybe they don't anymore.
Hmm i will never forget the hardest fight i have had in a mud, it was
a pure challenge, it was a Drow queen, did take over 13hrs to get 3 items
but they where legendary artifacts, with abilities other npcs would just
drool about, and hmm think we where 15players overall, not all was there
for the whole fight, but atleast some of us still remember that fight.
Not sure if the word challenge was right, since she wasnt very tricky to
beat, did just have megs of hps, killed us alot, had blockers etc, your
average eq monsie. But that doesnt lower the effort we made to get her
dead.
>You probably disagree because you had eq parties that took longer, but since
>you don't really want me to play the game I wouldn't know. Besides just
>because to took too long in the past doesn't mean we won't improve
>on that.
Not sure if its just me that gets really pissed of when the eqmonsies changes
from taking 4-5hrs to be killed to get killed in 20-30mins, or less. As was
the example with hag, which btw was almost unkillable before the 2nd to last
change, and after the change we did get it killed in 30mins, talked with
the admin we found online, and hag was changed, now we could have stfu and
killed hag 1-2 times / day...and wouldnt have been an abuse in the eyes
of some...
Some stability would be nice. Therefor i think its bullshit if after a current
change you cant kill a 1M monsie or you kill it with a halfmiss, and not
reporting it..
Shrug i dont mind that you are playing in the game, nor do i mind if you
have got some exps to start with, and some tps. In fact i like that admins
play in rd with their secondaries, but if they want to be like the rest of
the players with the seconary, maybe not unlimited tps, best eq etc unless
they get it from playing...

Geez, I may or may not be misreading this thing, but there's one part
I'd like to latch on to for the heck of it. I think Admins
should be able to cheat however the hell much they want as long as
they don't go pk'nig the hell out of us normal players with their power.
They made this place, it's theirs, they maintain it and work for the
players at no cost to the players(excepting voluntary donations).
Admins do all kinds of fun stuff for their player alts, patch them
insane stats infinite cash whatever gear they like.. They
even DARE to take a spot or two on the almighty lists
of top players. ;> If the Admins patched themselves invnicible,
teleported to your location and Zapped you dead in one shot for a
pk kill(rogue wizard on another mud did something similar once),
then it might be something for players to complain about.. ..patched their
player character that is.
Ah well. I'd wind it to a nice neat conclusion but have done
a wonderful job rambling and being redundant now. All my points
are in this post somewhere.

Trying to stay out of this, removed earlier posts, but just have to
respond to this:
<< Its rather ok that it takes 2hrs to kill a level 5 eq monsie, but its a laf
<< if it takes them 2-3mins to kill chara, xacthar etc and not
reporting it, or
<< if they just used a single spell to kill all types of monsies...
<< Especially since there are some midlvl eq monsies that has the top items

This is untrue. How do you suppose to know what is and is not reported?
Chara is Marvin's monster, Marvin will confirm that I have told him on several
occasions chara is too easy.
As for killing everyone with 1 spell, I'm not going to state the obvious
to people when it is there for all to see. If we have a party in which the
only blasters are harmers, it's pretty safe to assuming we're mostly
using habo.
I also remember posting after our last round of eq in May that some
monsters such
as galadriel and Xacthar were way too easy. Galadriel was changed,
Xacthar was not. If I report that 'stuns are too high' and a month
later I hear no response I take that to mean that someone higher
than myself either does not care, or has looked at it and considers
it ok. The same applies, in this case, to Xacthar.

date: Fri Jul 7 03:53:20 2000
I have a player char. I add exp and money to it from time to time.
I have that character because after I'd wizzed I noticed that
I'd lost touch with the gameplay itself (Wondering about the
amount of touch Zif has, him being a wiz/admin as long as he has.)
and with this char I attempt to get back into "the know"...
I don't have any special items coded for myself, I don't add
myself skills/spells, which aren't in the guilds I'm in.
My character tries to have little or no effect on the other mortals
and their game. I don't give them money or even buy eq.
The only way I affect gameplay is when I'm partying. And that's
hardly a bit effect anyhow ;)
The idea was that wizards should not have player characters, but it's
really hard to keep in touch with the normal gameplay when you only
sit and code (or in my case, sit and pester mortals ;)
The point is, that wizards' player chars ARE basically cheating, but it's
the only way we can keep up with the evolvement of the rest of the mud,
exp- and goldwise. And we are not abusing items or any bugs.
Hmm... I think I should think about the message before I post it...

I agree Imms should have characters, and they should even enjoy them
I do not believe they should go around being power players with
5 million hps and unlimited cash xp and tps. (exaderated of course)
this does unbalance the "normal" players.
I guess I consider it like any computer game where you can cheat and make
yourself a mortal god and can do whatever you like, but you do have
to consider
that when an overpowered imm character helps kill a high level eq mob, the non
imm characters could have access to eq worth megs and megs.
Thats jusy my opinion.
As for imms being able to do whatever they want cause its their mud.
I personally things thats a crock of horse shit. Yes they do this for the
players and yes they do it for free, but I don't think that
gives them the right to dick the players who have also invested
time into enjoying the game. but I think that is the
problem with a lot of muds and imms/admins, they
tend to get complexes and lose touch. but hey, I am just a player
I don't really know anything right?

thinking of the immortal characters, not one of them is _over powered_
in fact I am quite positive that there are players with more exp,
better equipment, and more task points.
So where does that cross the line into 'dicking the players' as you
so elegantly put it?

I meant that some muds seem to think that they can do whatever
because its their mud, it had nothing to do with here spacifically.
and had nothing to do with imm characters. I was saying that IMHO
that imms have a responsibility to the players, and that
they became imms with that knowledge, so I don't agree that,
in general imms can do as they please, it doesn't make for
a happy mud. but like with everything, its just my opinion.

than to have good company. For whoeevr brought up the thing with
urquan in Lasher's eq party you stupid, Lasher is a great eq tank

Just from someone who has played both sides of the mortal/imm
fence ALOT (here and elsewhere), I think it's important for the
immortals to play characters on a certain basis. The primary reason
for that is because when you change a number around in the code, or
alter a formula, or add a new guild or anything to a guild, you
don't ever really get the feel as to how much of an impact that
really has made if you don't play.
Personally I have more faith in the staff here than to abuse their
situation. Why spend years of your life building this world only to
ruin it by imbalancing and cheating? Maybe it's just me, but it
doesn't add up.

Wow, that is about all I can say about this arguement is wow.
I used to be a mortal here, then I wizzed and went on to code
a few areas for everyone to enjoy. And from time to time, I forget
what its like to be a mortal, so what do I do? I use my test character
to go play the mud. If I want to play a certain area that is for big
shots, I give my test
character a boost so I know what its like.
Everyone, calm down. All the wizzes here work very very hard to make
this place the best we can. I completely agree with Marvin. I spend
hours coming up with the ideas for my areas, and even more hours
actually coding it, then other wizzes spend hours debugging it.
All for you
and then I go and try to blow off steam with my imm character, and I
get repramanded my mortals who spend 13 hours on the mud at one time
to kill a monster (wow, caffine must have been used there).
Talk like this from mortals pointing fingers at us wizzes makes me
rethink why I want to make more areas.

date: Sat Jul 8 02:41:20 2000
Indeed wow. My $0.02
There is no way in any way shape or form that I have ANY cause to
complain, based on my exeperience, on ANY admin here EVER
having abused their power in any way in the creation, playing,
and partying of their secondary. As for experience, eq,and tps,
I have yet to see 1) ANY granting of the first 2 that could even
remotely be considered excessive 2) how it is possible to abuse the
last one (tps) in an excessive manner, except in the sense that it
would prevent the admin from getting an accurate feel for the mud.
In other words, 1) no admin (that I've ever noticed, at anytime, that
I've liked or disliked) has given me cause to consider they've even
approached at all remotely creating an overpowered character and
2) that I can see how giving unlimited TPs can prevent an admin
secondary from getting a good feel for the mud, but I can't see how
any amount of TPs an admin decides to give himself can have
a significant affect on other player out of proportion for the work
they do for the mud.
Now, to address atleast on other side of the issue:
I've seen this a lot...(in fact, I've done this a few times)...a
discussion is taking place and it tends to criticize admins...then
someone makes a post stating an absolute opnion...by this I mean
an opinion that is meant as a general statement on where they think
the line is on the issue. The problem with this statement is that in the
context of the argument, it looks like the "bad" side of this line
is being pointed at the admin side of the discussion. Again, in
other words, the person is talking about a hypothetical (or an actual
case somewhere else) of what they didn't like, and in
the context of the argument it looks like they are talking about the
admin here. Well, the lesson is, as always, human beings have
a problem being clear in language. This is natural, English is
very much a language that facilitates this. I'd just like to
point out that from my point of view, Raivenloth started off
by talking about a hypothetical case...and happened to do it
at a really bad point in the conversation, and without really good
regard to context. This lesson is why I (usually) tend to begin
such opinions with a description of what I'm NOT describing, if
I decide that expression will be helpful.
Anyway, that's my attempt to make a little peace in the mud.

at him a few times already about other annoyances, and I'm sure

Leave Basketball alone! Nothing like competetive arrogant people
to race up the plaque or 1up on eq or exp/min rates.
If you don't like him, do what denim does and ignore him.
Ignore everyone you don't like, it's easy. :)
You don't have to deal with him in real life, and if you
think you do, you can always screen your calls or pretend you're
not home. *grin* For his posts, just hit enter one more time and move
onto more constructive posts like the ones I put up! *duck*
Ah well, that's my spammy 2 cents. No need to get mean over people
you can simply ignore. If he harasses you for real, just let an
admin know and they
can snoop you or somethnig the next time he does and take action..
look at me ramble again. You all have my point.

If you wish to discuss Basketball in news, please make sure it is
worth the time and effort of people hitting enter this many times.
We realize he can be annoying, ignore him. We also realize some
people may not have a problem with him, fine too. But either way,
kindly keep this out of news. And as for real life things, keep them
to a minimum in news. Such as last years Bball vote, and this years
"let's tell Mom". Nobody enjoys this kinda of pooh in news,
regaurdless of if we can hit enter again or not, we still have to
read part of it.

Wow. I'm such an important person we hold votes on when we want me
to suicide or get suicided. I feel that this has got quite a few
little problems.
If you all VOTE on me getting Suicided by someone else, nuked,
frozen, zapped and what have you, you have a problem.
Honestly. Let's think about this. You all post things to get me off.
Is it because I'm young? Couldn't be, I know younger on here.
Is it because I use emotes? No, they're there for fun, not to annoy people.
Is it because I voice my Opinions and ideas? Maybe?
It really is irritating for ANYONE to hear 7 or 8 people talk openly
on how they want to destroy him/her.
To me, it shows just how wrong some people can be about anything,
and it sort of makes me sick.

And the reasoning for this is what? You don't like them? Maybe we

A better idea is to ignore the person that is harrassing you
with the emotes. Leave the room, or get a wizard to see
it being done, after you ask them to stop, very easily falls under
the harrassment rule.

And also help me to be careful of the toes I step on today as they

Help me always give 100% at work....
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
20% on Thursday

And help me to remember...
When I am having a really bad day, and it seems that people are

I think most of those posts are missing the point by solely looking
at the example Khosan gave. If you reread his post, ignoring the example,
the rule is 'Having a party member which does nothing except drain exp'
is illegal. Now it's pretty easy to do _something_ to contribute to a
party, so you shouldn't have to worry about it. I only see a problem
with newbies who don't know this rule (and if its added to help rules
they should), or people who lose their link, but are not disconnected
(in which case they only are on for a maximum one hour anyway)

I have never personally encountered a single player who sits in a

(Things that area and they go boom.) When I hit midbie level (also,
hell will freeze over) I plan on taking newbies around to party,
some, I might leave in the ADV Guild, so noone jumps the gun.
It's a little ridiculous to use a single example to set something as
illegal, no matter where this couls be justified.

leaving newbies in teh adventurer guild is wrong im sorry, your
point is not to drag them, it shoudl be to help them learn the mud
sitting in the adv guild does them absolutely no good other tahn

Okie dokie, after a bit o' flak and a few days listening to the
newbie channel, I've decided to give my reasons for a post on the
sales channel. In response to Fox, I'm buying the time of a healer
to remove my scar. It's a sale, whether you think so or not. First
off, healers don't have to do a thing for us, and I'm pretty damned
grateful for every scar removed and every time I get a heal. I
figure the best way to show my appreciation is to give some gold to
make it worth the healers time. I just want to say thanks to Kalma,
Kaz, and most especially Zed for keeping me scar-free. Healers took
the time to get the exp to do what they do out of kindness, be
grateful.

People are again complaining that EQ is too easy. I want to ask you as
players what you think about the situation. Let me describe what I have
observed:
* Most kills take 1-2 hours.
* They are done by EQ parties that has a majority of top 10 players and
the rest is very high worth too.
* Most players do not have pure top level EQ sets. EQ still sells for a
fair price. A few players have let me know they think so much high
level EQ is in players hands now that this is a serious problem.
* Resistances might not be working fully as intended. We might need to
go over the monsters to check what they are doing to protect
themselves.
Here is some actions we could take. Tell me what you think of them:
* Up base resistance for eq monsters. This would simply make each kill
take longer time.
* Fix resistances so using the correct damage type becomes more
important.
* One time degrade of existing EQ. I am not sure I like it, but it is a
possibility that will make the safes full of EQ less worth than the new
EQ that has to be collected by killing the then stronger EQ monsters.
* A full EQ degrade system of some sort. I think the majority is
against it.
Here is what we won't do, so don't waste time by suggesting it:
* EQ or player purge of any sort. That would be suicide for the mud.
Tell me what you think.

Make the qeusts more idfficult not just the eq monster. I
personally think your placing your view point on just the EQ mob in
geeral but it needs to be the entire quest. Yes quests will be
dooable in a mater of minutes but that is what needs to be beat.
Having tons of high level eq is suicide for the mud as well. having
interesting things to get that make it worthy is what i personally
strive for.

Well, I'm not sure a degrade is going to be good or not. The last
thing that happened to eq was the %-age upgrade, so if it came to
degrading, removing that would be the way to go, imo. However, all
that is going to do is reduce regen rates a bit. I'd think most
parties could work around that sort of thing.
Resistance tuning, maybe?
Not sure exactly what Tank was trying to get at tho. Quests? Very
few monsies require any amount of guesswork to actually get to them.
However, it's sort of hard to really make eq monsies any harder to
get to unless you throw out blockers which suck up an hour or two
more of your time.
I think one problem with eq is selection: alot of great eq on alot
of great monsies, but because alot of it can be had from a certain
few monsies, those are the ones targeted so much over the rest, ie,
Blackmon having 3-4 or whatnot pieces.
You can spend the few hours to kill him for a few pieces, or a
couple of hours a piece on 3 or 4 monsies, tripling your time or
more perhaps, for the same amount of eq that might not be as good.
Just a couple of thoughs
thoughts, even.

I know from my work on making some of the fun new toys
there is already a cool function in weap/armour
for limiting the maximum # of an item
how bout some of the really great stuff
doing that..
As for the hoards of EQ out there - simple
have some function when the game reboots
if the item never left the safe that reboot
have a chance it degrades a little
it should always remeber what its orig stats were
if it degrades make a shop where u can
pay big bucks to fix it back up
And with this if something degrades enough eventuly
it dests
(like an item that sits in a safe longer than a year without
being taken out)
this will encourage people not to have 20+ safes
full of EQ they never sell/use
And I dunno for highbies, but mosta us lowbies and midbies
have great eq because we buy it
and I can speak for myself takes a couple days of playin
gold hunter to get enuf cash to buy some of the so so stuff
and top notch stuff about a week of gold hunting
which in my opinion is fine.

I think it might be possible for eq monsters to
only load one piece from the selection
they have available to them. That would correct
the thing with eq heavy monsters if I understand
correctly. Instead of one guy loading all 3 or 4 items,
he might randomly reset with 1 of the
3 or 4 items after each time he is killed.
He is tuned down slightly since he won't have the
bonuses from all the pieces of eq working for
him at once so the mob will be
slightly easier to kill but increase the bother
of getting the desired item if he happens
to not reset with it for awhile.
I'm too puny to do eq mobs, but the logic came from
other muds I coded at and seems sound/to apply here.
my 2 cents,

I'd like to agree with both Pedron and Tank. First, eq monsters
are too easily accessible, they require nothing more than about 40
characters of move typing to reach with little or no effort in
finding/exploring them out
Second, it is too much weight to put ona single eq monster to
carry 4 pieces of the top eq on the mud. When that is done you have
to make the monster that much harder, which in some ways makes him
only doable or attemptable by very high level parties or players
with a year or more worth.

Sorry, I have to ask you to stfu until you know what you are talking about.
Yes, Tiamat & Sear are hard. They can also take a bit of time to get
to. Their eq is worth the effort. However, others, like Hag, you can
walk right in, prepare yourself all you like, and then blast away.
It doesn't take an hour or two to get to her, just crossing an

I don't like this idea. I think it is an easy fix to the problem of
"There is not enough different eq". There is only one top level
piece of eq for each slot/class combo. Maybe coding more would
cause people to kill different monsters instead of killing the same
monster so everyone in the party can have 2 nenyas. Downgrading eq
hurts everyone, yes it hurts people like me who have 6 rooms of
chests more, but noone likes to see eq they work so hard for
downgraded.
I don't like working for 15$/hr one day and turn around the next and
have that 15$ buy what 10$ did yesterday.
I do understand that coding takes a while and getting areas approved
takes even longer, but is a large scale tune the answer?

It's ok to let the monster have twice as many pieces if it takes
twice as long to kill. Some monsters reappear after first death
and have to be killed twice. Another monster have twice as
strong resistances as regual eq-monsters on that level.
To reach Sear you must kill blockers for a total of 6-7M.
Tiamat's quest toke as long time as Tiamat herself, last year,
even with a party that knew all necesary quest-info.
If Sushin (must be killed twice) is faster than, two regular
eq-monsters at his size, it may just be because many
eq-parties tends to spend 15 minutes arguing about
"what's next?" between each different monster.
For small eq-monsters, yes they need to be easy
to find. Smaller players usually have alot less
exploring behind them. Imaging being in an eq-party
and the members dont have a clue where the
monsters they want to kill are.

The quest for Tiamat (help tiamat) is an excellent story. However
it is virtually unsolvable without help, as each part of the quest
gives little to no actual information about what you are achieving.
Quests for EQ monsters should be solvable by a single person,
otherwise you end up dragging a whole party around, and they never
have to figure it out for themselves.
A good EQ quest example is getting to Shihuang Sorceror. There
would only be a handful of people in the mud who know that. A bad
EQ quest example is getting to Blackmon. Because you need a party
to defeat the blockers, everyone has seen how to get to Blackmon
from there countless times. Why bother making parties kill some
500k mob, when it is a mere annoyance compared to the 2.5m mob at
the end? The only exception to this I can see is the little
blockers at the gate to Sear, they are a way of saying 'newbies
stay out'. But they can be killed by one or two people.
Personally I would like to see quests for EQ monsters being more
optional. This could be done for example, if you do quest A, the eq
monster will load random eq with a preference to caster eq, if you
do quest B, the eq monster will load random eq with a preference to
fig eq, if you do no quest, your monster loads just any random eq.

To much monsies out there have random eq on them. It fun as hell to
not know what eq they have on but it also overflow the game with
lots of top eq.
I know that snoops monsies have lots of random eq. One of my best
friends in RL soo he some time babble about stuff he shouldnt.
The bad thing about that is that you only have to kill 1 monsies to
get good cast..good fig...etc etc.
If he had coded 1 monsie for say 2 eq slots the we would have lots
of more eq monsies to kill..we would know what eq they would wearing
but we would have to kill more monsies
That should give us lots of different monsies then ya need to figure
new ways to kill em etc. That is the funniest thing for me when
doing eq...too find the way to kill the monster

Another view on eq is that for getting a successfull EQ party you
need 10 ppl at a high worth, all reinced and set for eq. These ppl
demand atleast 1 good pice from the party, and that means there have
to be a lot of eq monsters to be done. All thoose 10 ppl need to
take about the time off to make the eq happend, and considering RL
with living in different parts of the world, school, work and
family, that aint easy.
Then the eq party need to have very little lag and have all 10 ppl
keeping their connections up for the whole party. To get 10 decent
pices and get all thoose ppl to interact together for the whole
party seems to be just as hard and sometime harder than the actuall
mob.
When you do eq for 10 hours a day for a week, you can prob get 5
pices of good eq ( with good some dice luck), so spending 70 hours a
week for 5 pices dont seem to me that eq is easy.. Then when we
attempt to kill some of the new monsters we have to work out a
strategy considering the ppl and the resources we have, think some,
argue a lot, getting pissed on each other, and getting sick of it.
There's actually some monsters that are very easy for it's eq, but
there's also the other side of it. A good way to tune eq-monsters is
to consider the gameplay valuye on the eq and how many pices there
are in the game. The more pices it gives a way, the thougher it
gets.
Pll where talking about makeing monsters only load 1 item!!?!?! Well
if they did, it wouldnt be killed, coz 10ppl dont spend 2-3 hours
for dicing 1 pice. .

This is where I have the problem with equiment as it stands..
It takes too long to get anything, and too long to get too
many pieces.. I for one could never play on this type of mud
as I do not have that much time to dedicate to getting 10 items
so that each party member gets something....
That being said though, there is a reason that it takes so long
that is to try and control the amount of equipment in the game
as once an item is in the game it _rarely_ leaves the game.
Personally I would like to see it easier to get the equipment,
but that would mean that _something_ would have to be done to
get it out of the game as well, perhaps degrading/wearing down
over _usage_ (note i didnt say time, so those sitting collecting
dust in safes are fine), breaking etc. To me this would be more
advantageous to the mud as a whole, if equiment took less time
to get people might be willing to do it more often, thus getting
more of it into the game and selling it etc.
Anyway I am rambling so I will stop now..

Do eq-parties for a week, say max 3-4 hours per day, with
possibly different members each day.
Use the rule that none is allowed to pick eq he
wasn't present when it was obtained.
I cant say for sure exactly how fair this is,
but i guess at least as fair as dicing once per day.
I think when you get a particular piece, it's bigger chance
that you really wanted that eq, with this system.
Gotta apply some probability rules to this...

I think one thing that needs to be done is adding in more eq places
that are only accessable if you are under a certain level.
Have different maxs too, like 15, 35, 50, 65 and all, or something
depends on how far from the top slot it is and this way it would
promote more lower level eq parties if those monsters were tuned to
be fair for the level range its under.
The only major problem i see with this is that people might think
"What determines what should be a midbie eq piece and whats a mid
highbie piece. Well thats for the wizzes to decide but i think this
can help selve some of the problem.

I hate level limits. I want my Magical Set of Yens back.
There is no left glove fig eq under 2 million gold
aside from my magical set of yens. :P
Put newbie eqs in newbierestricted areas fine, but
let them be worn buy whoever after the item
is acquired. 2 newbies can kill that
cat in aa nosuck and I'd pay em 10k for magical
set of yens back if I could wear em. :P
On the flipside, minimum levels would be alright I suppose..
Maybe have some items not wearable below level 16, and top slot eq not
wearable by under level 50?
I don't see any real need for level limits on eq in any case, but it
seems such limits should be designed to keep most
powerful items from unbalancing the game for
least powerful players. I should be allowed to wear
all the carebear junk ad crumby yens I want though. :)

Can we just do so that you dont get the full bonus,

Ie it gives you +10spr on level 25, and the full +20spr at level 50.

I've got the id spell, and i could send you the messages from what I id,

I have always been more partial to if the person does not have a high
enough level to wear the eq then then would only receive a percentage of
the bonuses based on their level vs min level for the eq.
This way a newbie may fall into a great set of eq, but they still
need to grow into it.

On first thought, this sounds like a good idea. A bit more bonus as you
get bigger. Something to look forward to. However, on second thought,
it would give people an even larger reason to level inflate themselves.
'I need to be level 50 to get the full value out of my eq, so what if
I only have my skills/spells trained to 25%, they still work, and look
at my huge tock!' Probably wouldn't be a huge problem for the fig/rog
people, but I can definately see it happening with the casters.
Yes, level inflation is always going to happen, but why give people
one more reason to do it? :)

Please, go ahead and send me just the stuff from the id. I'm willing
to just throw up the stat ranges on my eq list then let somebody
else come along and give me the definitive # (such as the fact I
know very high is 13-16, extremely high is 17-20).
Most of what I need from id is other stuff like resists &
skill/spell bonuses and the like.

On another note, i was wondering what roles seers have been playing
the recent eq runs. I'm hoping that the new resistance change will
make them more needed cause i have seen eq parties that have been
going without any. Whats the point of the seers guild when its only
used for gaze if people didnt need gaze?

Well, between lack of seers/psychics, and the 10 party member limit,
most people aren't finding much of a need for psychics. Not like I
was getting offers anyways before the limit was put in (there wasn't
eq going on anyways) and haven't seen anybody asking for psis since
the limit has been put in either :P
So, imho, once again, psis need something to put them "over the top"
in some fashion to make them useful other than gazing since, atleast
to me, curses have never been a priority to have either.

Shouldn't feel a very big need to be level 50 and get 100% bonus,
if it works so that you get 94% bonus at level 47......
It dont have to be any sudden jumps along level-range at all.

Yes, but lowbie eq have to reach full effect about at level 20.
And base it all on worth instead of levels if level-inflating is
a big problem.

worth would make alot more sense, cant get around worth one way or
another and with the common uses of reincs between guilds in this
mud then you could your eq without worrying about wheither you had

Exp earned outside party divided by # of kills.
Baer kills 10 paladin warriors and gets ~2m exp divided by 10 kills
Newbie kills 10 guppies and gets ~1200 exp divided by 10 kills.
Baer rating 200k units, Newbie rating 120 units.
Hmm.. maybe multiply avg value of kill by exp/min rate someway.
Could break the plaque up into avg value of kills,avg exp/min, total
kills, total exp
Have folks look at whichever category they want to see the way you can
look at the pk stats.
Enough of my rambling. :)

Maybe avg exp/kill, avg exp/min, total kills, total exp
and we just shrug at the level 20 dragbie who was dragged
for 2 million exps and played a different character the
rest of the week. :)
Would have to value 0 kills as 1 kill though to keep 0s
out of the averages in the denominator.

maybe i am in the wrong thread but making the eq give better stats
is not going to remove any eq from the game. i think the idea of eq
that breaks/gets worn out is a nice idea. the more magic an item has
the harder it is to break etc.
i personally (level 15) think that if stats of eq increased with
levels, the rift between newbie and highbie will get even larger.
Sure it would be boring if everyone rocketed up the plaque but i
feel by making eq get better (as well) as you increase in levels
will disadvantage lowbies, while anyone over level 50(as an example)
will as before gain the 100% use of the eq

Nono, i didn't mean lowbies get less out of their lowbie-eq,
just less out of their highbie-eq.
The rift between highbies and lowbies wont increase,
but the rift between well-equipped lowbies and poor-equiped
lowbies will be _smaller_ .
And if lowbies currently as standard are using highbie-eq,
that's unappropriate in the first place.

equipment deteriorating seems like a fair idea but as a player who
just acquired some cool stuff, it would suck for me to have
to replace it. :P
Would also confuse the market since nobody would really know how
much wear and tear something's been through or if it's on the
verge of the next stage of deterioration. Only way it would be
safe would be a guild power to repair the ac/wc
and restore the magical/stat/skill/resistant
properties of the armor to 100%.
Some guild on the fighter guild tree would be suitable for the
ac/wc and maybe phys res/deflection restoration of the
equipment and maybe some mage guild could
restore the magical/stat stuff. cleric guild tree
might handle restoration of holy/unholy res/damage restoration. :)
I sort of agree with the need for tuning equipment power to worth/level/skill
som way. I'm also likely to whine if this affects me
in any way. :)

Something else just thought of. Rounds worn/wielded in combat
should be the only time equipment is
being worn down however much it's being worn down.
Wouldn't be fair for my stuff to disintegrate while I'm idling/not fighting.
Might make boots and leggings take some wear and tear based on moves
made(wear thin after you do a million rooms worth of hiking around or
somesuch)

That would more or less make any healers eq last forever while those
that blast or fight will have thier eq degrade. As someone who
spends the majority of my time here healing others, I can say it'd
suck for everyone who isn't designated the healslave of the party.
Imho, some kind of eq/worth tune is neccessary. I have a decent set
of equipment for someone of my worth, and I would hate to see it
become less useful due to a tune such as what has been suggested,
but it honestly is the fairest choice that I have seen posted as
yet.
If the object of any kind of tune or change would be to get more
variety in what eq is available/abundant, then a stat penalty to
lower players is better than low level players not being able to
wear such eq at all. Highbies deserve no tune on thier eq, they have
earned the right to such stats as you get from top eq. Lets make the
newbies/lowbies earn it too.

This is easy to add a string that says the condition of the
item.. In now way would we expect you to not know what shape
your equipment was in (assuming this was a viable option)

I got carried away here, so this is a bit long.....
Lots of notes on doing eq from people not doing eq. Although some
eq-mobs felt easy for their pieces before last resistance tune (thinking
about Hag specifically), we were actually 5 of the top 10 people killing,
with 2 more among the top 20. Parties like these have usually made it
possible to get each member a very good piece in 6-8 hours. If this is too
good, then fear all eq-parties not bringing the 10 top people. In addition,
one should consider the fact that we actually have been forced to give up
on several mobs, we just couldn't do them. So far we have successfully
killed 6 different top mobs, and failed on 4.
Whether or not one mob should be able to load random from a large
number of pieces I'll let the wizzes decide. What I do agree with most
on is that only seers should have gaze-like abilities.
The idea to have quests to get to a mob isn't bad, but it sort of ruins
everything when you after hours finally get to the mob, just to find
out it has only 1 damage type is doable, and that is psionic, the rest is
totally invulnerable, or what the top resist is. It really makes the whole
thing undoable. With 2 damage types, it's at least a fighting chance.
Well, let's move on to another point. It's been a lot of rambling about
who can have eq, newbies with too good eq, eq decay and so on.
I'd like to make a suggestion too. Why not ban all eq sales and trade?
You have to join in the party who is actually killing a mob, to be
allowed to wear/wield it. So you have the eq party, eg. 4 people killing
Sushin, Arthur and Jark, gaining 4 pieces. Within the first reboot, all
4 can choose any of the 4 pieces, but it can not be given to anyone else.
After reboot it will be tagged with the players name that picked it, and
can never be given away or dropped, only sold to shop where it's dested.
This way, you'd be more picky about what to kill, midbies forming eq-
parties to get hold of decent stuff and newbies joining in on midbie eq-
parties and learning where stuff is. Top slot eq-parties couldn't afford
to let in newbies, so no need for level limit on eq.
This might not be a perfect solution, but just as good as many of the
other suggestions I've seen. Degrading eq you spend hours to get is
really depressing, and adding skills/shops to fix eq we're just back
where we started, just cost a bit gold.

So basically, you're suggesting that the only people with decent eq
will be people in the top 20 or so players, and pretty much everyone
else must reach midbie status before gaining even a single piece of
crappy eq? Sounds like mud suicide to me.

Not quite, all the eq i ever use is from parties. I have sold eq
acouple of times and traded it but you could probly do pretty well
with eq you only earn from parties, dont think selling or buying eq
would be a real problem
Theres plenty of newbie and midbie eq monsies in the game for
newbies and midbies to kill
If anything something like this would have a postive effect in
making people use more types of eq

Well, since highbies would no longer kill newbie-midbie eq to sell,
those mobs could be downgraded to suit a party of right level.
The free newbie eq could also be guild-dependent ie. mage newbie get
some eq with sp-regen and int.

We currently have running a eq party with a total worth of about
15gig. Now this is probably about the best eq party currently
avalibale with the times people can play from those willing to
do eq.
Now I think every monster in the game should be killable by this
eq party I might take 5 hours and kill each member 50 times but
no creature should be unkillable. But we come up against creatures
that are basically undoable mainly because they have a habit
of half healing a lot. Now this is nigh on impossible to stop
we have tried with 2 harmers stunning constantly but because of
the high willpower of creatures they still get the heals thru.
Franez manages to get 3 half heals thru in about 10rounds the
other day now he's supposedly a Necromancer. Who ever heard of
a necromancer with half heal??. If we pull in another stunner
to possiblty do it that way we won't have enuff damage dealers
kill these creatures with the 10man party limit. And this was
BEFORE the resistance tunes.
Now while I'm not saying Eq should be easy it shouldn't be
Impossable either.
Talking or resistance tunes. While I agree that eq monsters should
only be damagable by 1 damage type it's very annoying then you
have to spend 3 hours getting to Sear only to find you can't
damage him cause he's only vul to psi. same with Franez and several
other high end eq monsties.
We basiacally have 3 damage types that make a monster unkillable
psi cause it's witch only and only low damage for the spells witch's
have, Holy unless you want a party of clerics blasting and unholy
witch is basially harmer only I belive. Any chance the liklyhood
of these damage types being promaly type could be dropped
somewhat, unless there is a reason for them to be more
likley(the;type/location of monster).
Ok finished now. Please don't take this as just another whine I'm
just trying to get some points across.

Didnt copy Talgore's text, it gets boring to have multiple
followups...
First of all, at the moment most monsies take 2 damage types fine
not one so its not all that likely that these 2 fall under the
3 types you cited as being not available to most blasters
(say evokers/druids which I guess are the main eq blasters).
Now certain monsies might have special additions to certain resistances
(like say Sear is probably invuln to fire), so it might happen that
the 2 main resist get down to one cause of addition.
Once again its not very likely for most monsters (and I think that
its not necessarily bad that BIG monsies cannot ALWAYS die).
Now about the first point, its highly possible that healing is a bit
too powerful on eq monsters. I'll check this a bit.
Also the change to resistances might mean some monsies are going to be
real hard and even maybe impossible. This needs manual adjustments,
and I'm ready to listen to argued complaints (which means I will
just ignore generic whine such as "eq monsters are too hard").

Ok here is the story. I was sleepin' one night and a spider
bites me on two inches from Mr. Happy.
I instantly freak out cause I have this big rash that
starts to get bigger and bigger. ANYTHING that is that close to such a vital
area gets looked at ASAP =) so I hit the hospital.
Next thing I know the doctor puts 6 needles in me RIGHT DOWN IN THE
HAPPY SPOT (FUCKING OUCH) and
then proceeds to cut this huge golfball size hole outta my lower abdomen.
He said it must have been an infant recluse otherwise I would be dead by now
or my leg would have been rotten off. Well it fucked with my lymph nodes
that are down in that area as well. So now I have this oozing hole the size
of a quarter in my lower abdmon and I am on all kinds of
Anti-biotics and pain killers so
right now I am kinda a vegtable. Anyway, all is healing and closing up now
so if you EVER see a HUGE black round mushy spot starting to appear
and hurt like hell it may be a bite GOTO THE DOCTOR ASAP
That is my story thanks for all those concerned I love you all =)

Hmm. I have to agree, as well as disagree.
I agree that if a newbie is "given" a piece of highbie eq that
he/she must grow into it.
However, if that newbie spends a lot of time working hard on making
gold, then by all means, that newbie deserves good eq.
Cuz it ain't easy to save up money as a newbie, and if one does,
more power to him.

I've read up on the recluse, and it depends on the person mainly.
One lady kept getting small welts all over her body for months, they
lifted up the her water mattress and found dozens of recluse
spiders.
While one man chopping wood in his backyard sees a spider hangning
from his skin, puts the spider in a jar and goes into a hospital,
and drops dead in the emergency room.
The spider was later identified as a recluse.
Anyway, Good luck Tank.
Hope it's not too serious.

Well, I thought I would try the new reinc thing... thinking it would
keep people from leveling up and reincing down to max skills. I
thought it would be ok. Well, I reinced. I was level 94, had
almost everything maxxed in thief, alot maxxed in healer...
Well, I decided to try healer/abj now. I got about 60 levels in
healer before I ran outta free exp.
I suggest that noone reinc. Just don't do it. I'm sitting at level
98 now because I'm not going to spend 5 or 10M to spend 600M exp.
This is just silly.

date: Sun Aug 27 17:49:44 2000
Ok so from the people who have reinced theres been nothing but bad
things said. AN idea that might hel fix this is up gold from stuff,
or, you get a certain % of all gold you put into spells/skills. Also
with the party share thing, I partied with Talgore and co. today all
day. I also partied in a smaller group (but they were still worth
more than me.) And in both cases I had a low party share. I don't
know many people my size as most people I started with are big, so
that
sorta messes up parties for me, But some xp is better than none.
Anyway When Blonk left (who had 18% party share.) I went from 2.3%,
to 2.8%, Hes that big and it doesn't make that big of an impact? I
mean I thought I might go up 1-2% atleast. Now an idea was that Over
a period of time through a counter of some kind the party shares
might get a tiny bit more equal or something. I was told that would
be hard to do, but to be in a party that long something good should
come of it?
(Ok just a little more, Got alot on my mind)
Caster stats raise sp more than fighter stats raise hp. I'm a Giant,
and when theres a nosuck, my sp is about the same as my hp isn't
that a little unbalanced?
Also, maybe is just me, but it seems midbie parties arn't doing as
good as they used to, I haven't seen them like I used to, and its
sorta limited to what you can kill as midbie.

Can a kind wizard please sketch out the range
of taxation to skill exps and level exps on
reinc please?
Is the tax taken off total worth first, then free exps
to spend on skills/levels separated?
(say 75% of worth in skills, 25% worth in levels before tax.
Take out the tax amd 75% of new worth can be put to skills, 25% of
new worth to levels)
Or, is there a tax on exps invested in levels and a separate tax
on exp invested in skills/spells?
I hope my question made sense. I just remember reading something
about tax on exp invested in skil;s/spells being some % higher
than the old reinc tax.
From alvin's description it sounds like normal reinc tax is all that's in
effect, just not all the remaining exp can be used to train without
putting more gold into it..
I think I have 3 sort of clear notions there now, just wondering which
is accurate if any.

Not a gripe, just posting a good image of what happens now
for any player wondering. :)
Roughly 1/3 of my worth after reinc could be used for free training.
I got attack to 75% and weapon skill slashing to 60% before it started
wanting money for training. I can boost levels still cause they're free, but
it looks like you are discouraged from investing more exp into
the skills than you had before. I was thinking the new system
would discourage level inflation.. Maybe I shoot to level 30 again
with attack 75 and weapon skill slashing 60. :) j/k

I know theres a new system, and im gonna throw in my two cents. the
system was designed to keep ppl from training for free right? well,
it seems to me that the simplest way to do this, and the fairest way
to do this is as follows: if i spend 20m xp on skills/spells, well,
after the reinc, i get 20m xp to spend without cost. then gold
factors in. i dont see any reason why that isnt fair, i mean, at
some point you will have paid to train right? just my opinion.

When you're told using sac health on yourself is not abusing, that's

how can you ban someone for a week after they stop using it when
it's "fixed?"
Yet another reason some wizards on this mud are lame. Banning a
player after they are told what they are doing is ok.
Let's ban everyone that is selling eq they get for gold. Can't do

That is NOT what this is for. Your doing something as bad as

If I were you bb I would not pick on other players. We don't want to

I think that freezing Alvin twice is unfair. First off, there have
been many times where someone posts something as a guest because
they want to whine about it, and no one was frozen. Just because
someone has done something wrong doesn't mean that you can punish
them again for something dumb, even if it is against the rules.
And no, I am not supporting abusing bugs. Abusing serious bugs is
detrimental to the spirit of the mud and to the individual guilds.
However this bug has been around for a long time and I know that it
has been pointed out before, and no one really cared, half because
it's really dumb to sac health yourself, especially if you have few
hp, because you gain some but then you just lose them again. No one
really abused it before so it wasn't an issue.

Think about it: sacrifice health.
What the hell is the point of a spell like that if you're going to

I don't see why thats bug abuse, it doesn't better your charactor by

oh PUUUUUUUUULEASE. Grow up. It is obvious that the spell was designed
to be used on others. Not so you could personally gain more than you spent

Jaws you are full of it, unless you were right there looking over
his shoulder as he typed, you don't know that he reported it. He
might have aborted in the middle and not told you.
How sac health works is that it heals about 1500 hp of damage on the
target but takes 400-600 hps from you. Now if you are a normal
healer that has about 1k or less of hps, like for a thrikhren or
phoenix, or even 1.2k for an ent, using it makes no sense because
you have say 1000 sps, you're down to 500, you heal yourself back up
to full and then get 500 hps deducted again. Bam back to 500 and
nothing gained. Also, if you don't have at least 400 or so hps on
you, it won't cast. It's just a pain to use it on yourself. That's
why nobody made a big deal of it before, simply because it was
illogical and nobody bothered. But if you have enough hps, like say
1800, then you come back up to 1300 using a fairly cheap spell.

Guys I have some ideas for news posts so wizzes don't get aggro at
people just whining for the sake of it. We encourage
criticism if its directed in the right way, some players here
have a lot of respect from admins because of this, even if
they post negatively about the mud.
* Post what you think is wrong, without whining
* Post why you think this is wrong
* Post a solution or solutions to your problem.
Having a problem in your mind is one thing but you need to
present it so that we can think about it. If you just jump up
and say x needs tuning, its shit, whine we are _never_ going
to listen. Think about it an give us something useful.

Word keeps going around that sooner or later, we're gonna have some
changes to races. No surprise I guess... phoenix are popular, as are
a couple of other races. The thing that surprises me tho (I
apparently missed the original conversation on dragon over it) is
that new races could be added?
I just typed in the 'leaders' command. We have over 2 dozen races
right now. Earlier today, two of those races didn't have leaders.
Around a half a dozen or more are lead by newbies. Me thinks we need
to make existing races more viable, and in particular, more diverse
(some discussion needs to be brought up on how this could be done).
Until this is done, I guess I just don't see the need to have new races.
Also, with race tuning, especially since phoenix springs to mind
pretty easily, there is almost always a "race of the month" or a
"guild of the month". Most of what I've noticed in the past with the
better races is that they take a stat hit & generally a pretty
noticeable exp rate hit as well (drow, thrikrhen, vampire... these
have gone up and down a bit as well with more recent tunes). Again,
diversity & viability between as many races & guilds as possible so
maybe we can help avoid future race tunes in the future.

Actually imho you are very wrong here. The more diversity we have the
more likely it is players are going to settle on 3-5 races because
they will find them the best. I do not have definite plans about
how I will try to balance races and wether I'll add some new ones
or not.

I have done so many of times for especially for witches and woodsman
and without any feedback of any sort from players or wizzes. There
seems to be a problem with newsgroups that people only like to
express opinions on things that directly concern them. I'm more then
sure anyone who posts would love to hear opinions of other players
and wizzes for whatever they took their time to post.

if i ever get some time again (seems like i dont have any at
the moment) I will be moving ideas/typos into the same format
as bugs is now, so you will be guaranteed feedback.
Just FYI we do read all the posts, between all the wiz groups
and the idea posts it is very hard at times to reply to all
of them. Not to mention the opposite side of the argument
is heard as well, us responding to them all and saying why
we do/dont like it, discourages others from posting because
their ideas get shot down.. Its a tough situation but hopefully
if i can get the ideas and typos into the same format as bugs
that will at least get you a response.

One problem with that is a lot of posts are made in ideas.
Some are good, some are not, but the one problem is just the number of
posts. If we had to answer all of them, that would be really
very time consuming and at least for me, I have enough hard a time
to code guild stuff so usually I do not answer many posts.
You might notice that some ideas actually are implemented,
we just cant answer and keep track of them all as we do
with bugs (which is also very time consuming).

Wanted to ask your opinions on this as it mostly affects you guys.
I have been unable to decide if I want to switch us over to the
new 'beta' drivers. Right now we are on what will become a
minor release.. (no new featues are going in, just bug fixes.)
The latest betas give us a couple of things..
most noticeable to you guys woudl be the ability for the
parser to 'default to first' instead of getting the which one
do you mean message, it woudl act just as if you typed get first foo.
the second notable thing is that we coudl correctly do containers
like bags, and things like that (even some of the goofiness with
corpses is fixed in the parser)
and wizards gain from the ability to do passive mode ftps.
The only reason I am hesitating is that its possible its not
as stable as what we are on, after all it was just recently
promoted to beta. From what I hear it is very stable, but
you never can tell.
Anyway feel free to reply/mail me with your thoughts, if its worth it
or if we shoudl wait a while.

A few weeks ago, I had a 'discussion' with Khosan that ended up
being more of an argument. Like so often happens with this type
of thing, I don't even remember what that was actually about
anymore.
Anyways, since then I have had a real problem with the mud and
more specifically, with Khosan himself. I put some pretty
nasty implications about him in my plan and froze (read sulked)
for 2 weeks. I logged in a couple of times to bitch about this
or that thing then quit again. Today Khosan asked me why I kept
doing that if I didn't want to play the game anyway and I refused
to discuss it and he felt it best for the mud to remove my player.
It's kinda funny how you can be played in one situation (player)
and become what you hate the most when in another situation
(admin). My constant slamming RD and it's admins (particularly
Khosan) was uncalled for and unnecessary and I apologize.
I added the story rather than the whole apology so that anyone
that actually cares might realize this (for me at least) was a
silly personal argument that got out of control and got much
bigger. I wrote a longer apology because I mean it, not because
I 'had to'. While that might be true, a 2 line note
would have sufficed.
Peace,
Lasher.

I think the only ones carrying too much around here are the giants
(including xorn, gorons). After the resent changes, stuff weight
more than it used to, and when wearing eq I can loot something like
12 mobs before I am full. I know i'm a mantisman, but I do have
giant size wish and 270 str. I'd rather say it's a space limit on
carrying loot, than weight limit, thus using backpacks/bags could
increase loot carried (half weight when put in bags or someting).
I'd also realy appreciate some changes to safes, i had 3 safes to
store all my stuff before the changes, now i need 5, and i can't get a
full set in a single safe. So either safes should be made to hold more
or Slint should start to sell some Huge safes that could hold more.

I am not really sure what changed. I changed everything to do
err to have at least a weight of 1, this broke the armor calcs
but sigwald just fixed that, so unless sigwald and I crossed wires
somewhere nothing really changed weight wise, other than from
armor having a weight of 1 to having a real weight.. I will
investigate a little more.

How would a bag increase carrying capacity?
If you can carry 50kg weight, putting it in a bag doesn't let you
carry more...

Try to take a LONG walk, carrying 50kg in your arms, then do the same
with 50kg in a backpack, and you'll see what a backpack can do for
your carrying capacity. It is also a question about space, pick up
10 shortswords and 10 daggers and your arms are sort of full, but drop
it in a bag, and you can drag it and still pick up 10 more swords
and daggers.

I emptied my backpack last night, readying for school, and I had
some serious trouble taking it all to my room, but whenever I used
it, lo and behold, I had no trouble. I carried about 20 Pounds (?)
in that, miles at a time, and hadn't any trouble in the least, while
carrying it otherwise, I had trouble carrying it 30 feet. A backpack
uses the muscles in your back/shoulder area to carry something,
which, have more endurance compared to your arms. It just makes
sense that a backpack can carry more. Organized well, it can carry 3
or 4 times your usual capacity.

How can you carry anything at all, if you are wielding weapons in
both (all) hands. This is a mud damnit, not real life, stuff does
not always make sense, it is made such and such because it improves
playability. Putting stuff in bags to make you able to carry more
is a valid solution, though not the only one. I think I read someone
saying we can carry too much already (with eq, I can kill 3 monks,
before I have to go sell).

It is true that we are only supposed to get smacked for tricking
newbies on newbie channel, because that really should be a place
they can trust any information. When newbies ask stuff on dragon
channel we heckle them all the time but someone eventually tells
them to move to newbie and ask it again. However that still doesn't
give people the license to mislead newbies into doing something as
permanent as suicide (well permanent for most of us), but as most of
the time the heckling is on silly questions that don't really affect
anything nobody minds.
And looking at the reasons Lasher was removed I would personally
think it best not to use foul language or bitch at wizzes.

Maybe I missed something important here (if so, the rest of the
point is moot) but according to Tank's post, the newbie asked how to
suicide on dragon channel. He said so. Alot of us have done that.
Nothing wrong with that no matter what channel.
Now, if Tank told him he needed to suicide to reinc, that's another
matter I guess. Things are getting out of hand around here tho.

You were not reading very closely then, the text shows they were
using says. And Tank should probably have clarified with them what
they wanted. Another thing is that the command for suiciding is not
'suicide', it is 'suicide password' so it is hard to tell how the
newbie suicided if Tank did not give the correct string.

Try typing 'suicide' sometime, will ya? Then just hit enter right
afterward and see what it does.
If you type suicide, it gives you the whole thing about what it does
to your character, then it goes "Enter your password:" *gasp*
Guess what, it works either way it seems.

No, if you type "suicide " you are not suicided.
There is no way you can suicide your character without first
getting the "...will erase your character completely..." message
and after that be prompted for your password.

Just propose Tank be restored from backup unless he did something
else to warrant nuking. It's not clear he tried to be deceptive
and it would be Unix's responsibility if he didn't read the
warning info about being erased when he used the suicide command..

There was little to no logic on why Tank even bothered posting this,
in addition to that, he mentioned the Newbie here wanted to Reinc,
not suicide. If it was an error in words on the Newbie's Half, then
I would agree with restoring him, otherwise, what Khosan did seems
legit.
It sure seems like Tank thought the Newbie wanted to reinc. If he
did, he should have mentioned that to the newbie, and made sure
suiciding was not a very good alternative.
That's my Opinion. If there is a more straightforward say on this,
I'd sure like to know. But with the lack of direction in Tank's
post, it seemed he thought that someone screwing themselves out of a
great MUD was funny, and did nothing to stop them from doing so.

it is supposed to. People tell me it doesn't always work, but I need

It happened to me earlier.
I was using walk to take me to birds area from cs, and someone was
killing a rdcg just s of cs. My walk command did the 12s like it was
supposed to, but my "wounded" trig was set off and the next thing
the mud did was try to attack a mob that wasnt there, let alone
agro. There was no "W 5s path", as the remaining part of my command
was supposed to do, and brief mode was on when the command was
interrupted, so it stayed like that.
its happened similar to that a few times where my macros (which also
contain walks) and some of the commands after the walk were
processed by the mud before the walk finished
Just some scenarios to try out, maybe...

According to the help file on boting, its legal as long as you are
at the keyboard, which I would be as if I'm not at the keyboard, I'm
either not online or have trigs off.

Not sure what help file you are reading. But 'help botting'
says nothing of the sort. Personally if I were to set up a
trigger to look for orc, worm, elf, wounded, etc., any sort of
scan for a monster to kill, I would consider it an auto attack,
and cheating. Of course help botting is of course unclear on
this. (ack double of course) So I'll await an admin to make
a clear understanding of auto attack on RD.

Examples of allowed triggers:
* Triggers on what you do. An example is autorecast triggers for
casters, ie. when a spell goes off you can start a new one. An
exception to this is the spells prayer for mankind and mana drain,
you must not make a trigger for those.
The overall rule is that you must be able to respond within
reasonable time if you have active triggers. If you make a trigger
for creating food and you get a tell from a wizard, which you ignore
but continue to create food, you are breaking the rules. This rule
also applies to the triggers in the previous examples.
------------------------------
To my understanding, that means that any trig that is set off by
something that you personally did is legal. Also, if you can respond
quickly to a wizards tell, due to the fact you are at the keyboard
watching whats happening, then most trigs are fine. If my
understanding is incorrect, I'd love to know, but from an IMM, not
from a whining player.

No what you describe is how it is designed. It avoids errors by putting
in delays when you have used too much CPU time. If you move in any way
during that delay, the walk command aborts. So if you try to mix a walk
command with your mudclients speedwalk or macros where you try to do
additional moves after the walk, then it is going to fuck up.
I don't know zmud so well so I can't give you an example, but the
following in tf would not work:
/def gosomewhere = walk 2s 5e N; enter portal; walk 3e 5s
If the walk command is long or you have a huge party with you, the enter
portal command and the second walk could be executed before the first
walk finish. It is like it executes as a background task.
The following would work:
/def gosomewhere = walk 2s 5e N enter_portal 3e 5s
The trick is to let the walk command do all the commands. Don't try to
let your client put in commands after a walk.

I'm sorry, but this sort of trigger is going to do nothing but piss
people off. What the hell are you doing with such a trigger?
Ever think you might just go off attacking something somebody else
is killing just cause of your blasted trig? Or is that your attempt?

Hmm, funny that one so all-knowing as yourself doesnt know about
this, but I'll introduce you to "cast ". When in combat, you
dont need to target your attacking spells. If there is no agro mob
in the room, the trig does not attack. simple as that.

Well, what can I say. When I first started playing 3 years ago we
didn't even have this few players on, nor can I remember even during
the times of horrible connections of our past isps that we had so
few players on for this long (pushing 4 hours now I think, was
atleast 15 at the start of this whole thing).
Whatever the cause of all the people losing their links & not being

just FYI, its a pain in the ass to special case all this stuff,
well the creater of the clan shoudl be able to use the channels,
so we check for that, then we have to fill our code with useless
tending to be error prone checks, its really not worth the effort.
The 'real' solution is to not be channel banned in the first
place, that solves all your problems.
I took the curse/ban off last night, lets see how long you can
maintain the use of those channels.

It's free to reg and unreg pk so long
as you haven't killed or been killed
in pk. If you've killed or been killed, you
should know whether or not you care
about the pk bitching. :)
Can reg, read posts from adv guild, and unreg again if you want to
participate in everything about pk but the pk.

Spam, spam, spam, and spam are some of the reasons, spam is another
good reason. Also may be in mud's interests to shield new players
from pk spam till they step into it themselves.
Did I mention the spam? And maybe the pk'ers think you've no right

wouldnt it make more sense to unsubscribe ya self from the channel
then to kick everyone else out from it that would like to know
anything about pk, could make the channel like inform where non pk
types couldnt post but only read, cause if what you say is true
about being killed and switching back after wards id rather not

You also can't be pked under level 16, but you can still reg. Ergo,
you have 15 levels during which you can talk to the pk people all

I would agree with Erec. I think it is better for newbies to be able
to research themselves, rather than just always asking other
players. What is it that pk players want to talk about and not have
anyone else want to know?

New proposal...
There have been numerous complaints about how our
'punishments' are done..
I would like to attempt a new idea (no guarantee it
will stick around forever) however it cannot be any
worse than what we are doing now. Well actually it could
be worse... but I hope it wont be
The idea is this, players have asked for a 'court' to judge
their peers in many times, we have always turned it down.
However now I would like to start that up.
The court will be comprised of the admin, and the clan
leaders (with more than a certain number of members in
their clan, probably between 5 and 7 right now) This gives
clans some use, and should allow for a wide variety of input.
Current leaders with more than 5 members are:
Odins_Ravens :raw
PURGATORI :wildchild
fightclub :jomo
Mongeese :smee
NiteStalkers :graxon
Guardians :rahz
Nosferatu :hierokliff
Assamites :cale
Perkele :koma
Moose :ftoog
DragonHeart :cloud
Mystics :phire
Those clan leaders will get to decide punishments for
players that have complaints put against them, i.e.
cheating, botting, etc. Possibly even deciding certain
restore situations etc (i.e. Chemosh requested a restore
after being gone 18 months, well not really had another name,
but you get the picture.) Cases of repeated cheating, repeated
nukings etc will not be an option.
My initial plan is this, a complaint is brought against a player,
The player in question has one day to defend himself, the 'court'
then has X days (at this point i think X is 3 days) to discuss and
vote for a punishment for that player after 3 days, whatever the vote
is stands, those clans that have not voted will not be given a chance
to do so. And the punishment will be enacted. Keep in mind that the
admin still have the final say so voting a player to be nuked because
you dont like them will not be tolerated (contrary to popular belief
we do not nuke/freeze people we do not like. I promise you there are
players that I do not care for yet they still play ) however except in
rare circumstances I see the vote of the court holding up.
I would like to iron out some guidelines to follow, examples are
things like what are nukable offenses, freezing, etc. Keep in mind
these are just guidelines, the severity of the offense could merit more.
No Open PK is not coming back.
Anyway I am interested in everyones thoughts this is not set in stone,
I am open to suggestions, _do not_ bother to reply with it sucks, if
you cant be constructive do not reply
There is no code yet to support this, however if the response is good,
I will run with it.

it would have to be dynamic , a simple check into the clan info, the listing
i posted was just a list at the moment. whatever we came up with woudl have
to check that information often, and if you dropped under 5 you would no

I'm really not sure of the history behind any of this, but I just
wanted to know who and what
conditions needed to be met to have to be court. I know that is was
mentioned if complaints
were made against botting, cheating, etc., but can those complaints
come from anyone, or is it
just admins. It's just that I can see a few players going to
'court' a lot just because
three or four players don't like them and want them to get into
trouble. Sorry to be a bother, was
just hoping for clarity on how one would actually be err,
'qualified' to be brought to court. I can
only hope that it wouldn't be abusable for the 'court council'.
Thanks for the time.

I think that this is a very interesting idea for a politcal system
because it gives a wide range of the populous a chance to
decide punishments. This also spreads the blame on the tough decisions
that have to be made for the sake of game fairness.
For one thing, it's alot harder to complain to (Deciding Admin's Name Here) if
a board of 10 players/admins make the decision. Rather than saying
(Admin) doesn't like
me, it would put the decision in the hands of a board of people...
who would then vote (hopefully) objectively.
I like the idea especially since it will limit the personal wines
and pointing the finger.
One thing to add though... Player Reps should either get a vote or
vote in case of ties.. something
like that.

Well in this particular case, I am also a clan leader, but does that mean
I can set someone else as clan leader so in effect my clan gets 2 votes?

I beg to differ. It takes a special kind of idiot to convince four

Ahh, but the courts may be biased against the idiots if
the idiots aren't represented. :)
If we have clans of more than 5 idiots each, they
deserve representation.
Just admins have to check and make sure nobody's secondary characters in a

Of those guilds that have guild ranks/eq, afaik, they consist of six
ranks, which increase over time with attached abilities that
increase over use, ie, for cauldron magic, you could have the
highest rank of master, with excellent skills in brewing and some
skills in curses. Or something like that.
Ranks don't seem to have an effect, unfortunately, but guild eq,
based on rank and/or extended time in the guild, give certain
bonuses.. again, in witch, the broom gives int/wis/spr bonuses, plus
some skill bonuses.

never mind the phone number I left, eh? Oh well.
Next came the 6 week underway, which very few of you might have known
about...I mentioned it in passing while online one day from a different
computer. That was fun...the good news it should be last underway
that long for the rest of my Naval career (all of the few months remaining).
Finally, I came back to a burgled house, which is what I've been dealing with
for the last few weeks. I have all the hardware I need for my old
cable access,
but the cable was disconnected, and it has been a 2 week wait for an
appointment.
I should be back on that soon, but in the mean time it is netzero
for me, baby.
Anyway, I thought this might cheer some of you up (in the same way watching
a bird let loose, narrowly miss you, and nail the guy next to you might
cheer some people up), so I don't mind if you smile. at my expense.

Too often I'm runnin into being asked for events. What's more,
being asked for specific events.
This is unacceptable, so far as I'm concerned. When a player asks me
for an event it just makes me want to wait that much longer to give
one that will benefit anyone in any way. Hell it makes me just want
to idle even more.
Please don't asks for events. It's nothing more than annoying.

As you probably have noticed, I haven't been on for about a week.
This is due to some RL stuff I need to sort out and the net just
isn't something I need in my sad excuse for a life at the moment.
So to make a short story shorter, I've been gone and I probably

Shorty seems alittle bad adjusted to the new resistance system.
For some numbers, he used to hold about 20 times more gold
after event than he does now.
He should at least live long enough to visit every player
at least once, which he hardly does now.

Shorty might not live long right now because there are so many

skills to destroy him. When there are fewer 1g+ fighters/mas/rogues,
I predict Shorty will live longer -Zyz

I think that the change to summon doesn't make sense at all as
far as theme goes, if I'm going to summon someone they should be
summoned, not have an option to be summoned or not.
Also, the way it is now, the summon spell is almost the same as the
create portal of summoning spell.

I agree, but you can think the people that like to summon

I would disagree on this one. Summon is a lot faster a lot of times. I am
all for allowing people not to have to respond back to the summon. Oh well
at least there is still party summon ( i think)

knowing our player base, I woudl expect those players that

I thought we were having players punished for doing stuff like that
that is really doing nothing but preventing the rest of teh player
base from doing anything? ie, summoning them just to harass them.

Temper temper Tank.
If this is supposed to be a threat, this type of threat doesn't
carry any weight. In fact, it shows your inflexability to try other
classes/guilds. Abjs have gone for years depending on parties for
xp. Maybe this is a good place for figs too. (Note this is purely
speculation and maybe other things need to be brought more into line
too before this is fully effective).

I think fighters are cool in general, don't
think I'd bother
soloing anything over 2k exp for
solo exp or gold, but I can tank a
blue dragon better than any nonfighter my worth. :)
The only good exp I made as fighter, blaster, or healer was in parties
acting as tank, firepower, or healing for the
other party members.
Shouldn't be too hard finding a pair of blasters and a good healer
to party with if you want to do exp. Seems like mobs worth 30k
are 3 times as hard to bring down as a mob worth 15k, so
you might just scale back to smaller mobs you can kill faster.
Might do well to have a psychic or whatever guild it is to check and
make sure the stuff you want to kill isn't ultra resistant to physical
damage since that's all you can do. (I know vikings in viking attack
event are all but immune to physical damage. :P
My strikes didn't scratch them but I dropped a couple
dozen with the aid of lava mage and animist)
Could always buy wishes for enhanced critical greater and
lesser. Just my comments.

They don't have to suck, I got into top eq parties as fighter, and
also made more exp dragging a healer around, than I have as any
other guild. In fact our comments at the time were along the lines
of 'why bother being any other guild than fighter if it's as good as
this'.
As a tank you wont die so much eg after being stunned by a 8k monk.
As a fighter you can grab a healer and not have to wait around for
ticks, you just fight non stop. True its not really a solo guild,
but you can solo gold better than basically any other guild, and why
would you want to solo exp?

First off Pedron wishes with me are not the problem I have plenty.
Second of all Xp with me is not really an issue cause
when i want i get plenty but that does not help the fact that
fighters should in my opionion be able to solo and not get smoked by
a 5k ladybug

you guys are missing the point. I do not want to grab a healer I do
not want blasters I want to be able to kill stuff without gettin
beat down badly.
Now I figure I am worth 120M and I get beat down by ladybugs and
banshees when I have over 2k hp now granted I understand I will get
beat on but when healers solo better and when mages solo better
makes fighters worthless other then parties and that just isnt how
fightesr are suppose to be.
We are tuff we beat things up. Just frustrated is all this is the
only mud that I really play anymore as you all know so I dunno maybe
this is the trend muds are taking now a days.

If you were smoked by a 5k ladybug, you have some problems. :)
I'm roughly ~9.6m worth as of this
post. Would be 10m if I wasn't fool enough
to use random lodestones in absence of people
to res/rev me.
Ladybugs don't have any kind of special that I know of, I've
killed a couple outside nosuck without having
to stop. Usually I just stomp all over
little 300 and 500 exp mobs or do kill alls
through fields of 100-200 exp mobs.
In 2 days of exp parties I increased my worth by ~13% though.
I don't think fighters suck. I don't
go flying through the exp cause I goof off with lodestones and hang around
the casino alot of late.

I'm sorry, but telling somebody to buy wishes to become a more
effective player is like stating this is a pay-to-play mud. Wishes
are there to help you a lot, not for you to depend upon. Wishes
should help me increase my rate as a caster by 1k, not 10k.
*ugh* Wishes shouldn't even be a topic of discussion when it comes
to how players feel guilds are in tune because everything shouldn't
have to be tuned to wished players.

Tank just wanted more power and no party, short of a 100m
drag, wishes seem the most direct way to
that more power.
Somewhere in one of his posts he implied he was all
wished out already, so I'd say some
would agree.
Btw the recent tunes to fighter guilds hurt, but they made sense to me.
Getting the most powerful hit message for
attack skills trained to 70% of max
was a bit much. :)

so this is a party mud or a solo mud or a party and solo mud? my
point is that this should be both solo or party. I dont care if I
make a 5k rate or a 15k rate i dont care about much xp or anything i
just care that I cant even kill most things in a few runs even 1k
cat guards take off over 1000 hps ;)
dont bring up eq dont bring up worth dont bring up wishes cause
those are all irrelevant.

so do kill all in the 100 exp mobs, you're
invincible to them and 10 die as
fast as any 1 cat guard if not faster. :)

Btw I just wanted to post something to Zifnab.
You made this mud go downhill from the way it was before.
Yes I will agree your a very good coder prolly alot better then I
but because of you there is no 'real' world here.
Because of you there are no 'assholes' in the mud. Muds need
assholes they need nice people they need

I refuse to get into a pissing contest in news with you tank,
if you dont like the mud by all means go find one that you like,
that is why there are all kinds of muds available to play on
You also pick out 'me' to lay the blame on , shows you really
dont know a lot about this mud, but thats ok, say what you like,
when I log off here its just a game. If the rest of the player
base feels the way you do and the mud dies so be it, we had a great
4 years. If the player base likes the way the mud is going
great too. But again noone is forcing you or anyone else to
play here.
And yes i probably shouldnt of posted 'bye' in response to your
post, oh well just retire in peace and quietly go away.

As i read tanks first note, i just thought "yeah, right, like a
120m worth fighter should just run through 30k mobs". I still
think so, and i still think mages should solo better than fighters
since mages build their whole worth on regen, while i bet most
fighters don't take a single level with hp- or ep-regen. So a
mage can catch a tick and be "as good as new", while a fighter
won't get much back from the tick.
But as i followed the thread i started to understand what Tank
had in mind, it's not really that fighters suck, it's more that
smal mobs (2-30k) both crit too often and too hard, and their
stun resistans is way too high. It doesn't seem right that 5-10k
mobs should crit 14-18 hits every 10th hit or so and have close
to 80 % stun resistance. This hurts fighters/thieves more than
others, since they are constantly in fight, tho an upgrade of
fighters wouldn't be good for game balance. It's better to tune
down smal monster crits/stunresists some.

I agree that fighters suck, but if you up them, you have to do a
downgrade on heals.. To make that balance you have to make to much
changes on the mud. There's some guilds that's more 'solo' guilds
than others and the other way around.

Honestly Tank, what are you thinking?
I particulalry am a wee bit pissed at Zif for nuking and stuff, but
that's opinion, and it was after well thought out decisions, and as
for coding, well, we need someone like that.
He(I'm pretty sure on this now, never actually knew..) has fixed
atleast 1/4th of the bugs, has made all guilds more equal and has
had such a great overall impact on the MUD. SO if your gonna piss on
someone, do it on yourself. We all are still here, you don't have to
be.

When 75% of the mud is wished, and 100% of the top 20 is wished, you
tune the mud to wished players.

Lemme post a few facts about this whole bullshit.
1) I find this blazing at Zifnab very lame for a guy that
got a pretty big history of doing crap here and that didnt
manage to finish an area in two months.
2) You retired, fine, just go away.
3) "Fighters shouldn't be like this": you do not HOLD
the truth or anything about how fighters should be.
Just because they do not fit your idea of fighters
does not mean they are not fine as they are.

At least something a bit more interesting, a few arguments here.
Btw I would not consider 30k monsters to really be small.
Imho they are sort of midlevel (as regards to a soloer).
I'll take a look on crit chance and stun res on real small mobs.

Actually that statement is kinda false since some players in top 20
only have wishes gotten through explore, which everyone can get
with enough patience.

I haven't made any statistics at all, but i got the feeling about
small monsters that the problem is not how often crits comes
but how hard they are.
Means that a small monster will hit nice weak hits,
for a while, then getting a critical that is about as
strong as 100k monsters criticals (talking [19]-size - about 200hp).
So perhaps leave critchance as it is, and rather
lower whatever determines the strongness of
a small monsters crits?
