  • (I clicked awesome because it is a heart icon and hearts and hugs felt like the appropriate response,  I hope everything smooths out!) 
  • @teani - I am all over people being encouraged to interact more as well, but unless people actually do it consistently across the board (which seems unreasonable to a…
  • 500 in 30 minutes.
    Not 500 in a day. Not even an hour. 500 in 30 minutes. This means that, over the course of a day, you could, conceivably, gain a lot more than 500. Even if you only did this a couple times a day, you're going to net a …
  • From your "feed versus teach" comment, I assume you're agreeing that there should be something done to teach people how to quest for themselves instead of just relying on the current non-teaching approach of 'figure it out yourself'.

    I fe…
  • I don't know about what people consider "reasonable profit" but 500 gold in 30 minutes seems pretty reasonable to me considering you are also gaining the XP which you, theoretically, are in it for as well.
  • A bit late to the party here, but:

    Some of this "no quest sharing information" thing (i.e. people being close-lipped about potential quests and not helping newer players/other players find them) is likely a hold-over from previous generat…
  • I am very dissappointed that the thread hasn't yet been changed to one of Toz's suggestions.

    My personal favourites:
    - Midas' Bad Touch
    - Why Is Mass Murder So Expensive
    - Think Of The Children Newbies!!

  • As I've always said, aetolia is a game, if someone isn't having fun in what should be a fun time activity, time to get a new fun time activity! Obviously, I think you're awesome  but I have "quit" myself over the years when I wasn't having fun anymo…
  • Free is always cheaper!

  • There being two or three of a very powerful artifact like that isn't a huge deal to the IC economy, but if anyone with some cash to burn or a large saved up credit cache could grab one would very different effect.

    If it had enough checks …
  • I always thought I was the only one who couldn't quest to save my life, I feel so much better reading this thread and knowing all my frustrations with it are shared with at least a couple other people!
  • Since I can almost never figure out what to say to mobs to get/move along quests, I've long since given up trying to quest in aetolia. I accepted I suck at it and moved on, lol.

    That said, I know people do it all the time, so I'm sure it'…
  • (Quote) You would only be paying 50cr (or one cust cert) to change the description of the item into a purse in what Rhyot's suggesting, for the record. You would buy the item (the wyrm pack) and then plop it into the customisation process to chang…
  • I had that same initial reaction @Rhyot - but then I had the secondary thought of "If they'd let me change it into a purse, then they may as well make it possible to…
  • There is a stark difference between having a "focus on making losers suffer" and having "impactful consequences". Emir definitely made no mention of making losers suffer.


    *edited for reiterative clarity
  • This is mostly a disagreement on what "meaningful conflict" actually means, I believe.

    To me it sounds like Evalyne is using it to mean "enjoyable to participate in with enjoyable rewards for those who win" whereas Emir is using it to mea…
  • I came up with this super basic idea like a year ago - I realize it lacks in terms of PvP stuff and totally doesn't solve the problem of 'death is meaningless', but anyway - here was my idea!

  • The only way in which I've seen shrine defiling "discourage PK and conflict" is by players oocly complaining about it instead of actually doing something about it ICly. You might try to do something about it and get your rear handed to you, but that…
  • One of the areas that I've noticed true-noobs being very frustrated with is information that has been shoved into player-submitted help files: aka CHELP / GHELP / HHELP / etc.

    One of the most common questions I've run into from noobies is…
  • Zaila might have said, "A-I-T-N, that clearly spells Evalyne"
    in Thank you! Comment by Zaila March 2018
  • To whoever sent Zaila on that scavenger hunt, I don't know who you were for sure (though I have some obvious suspicions). But since Zaila's not going to express her appreciation ICly, I just wanted to shout out to let you know how tickled I was by t…
    in Thank you! Comment by Zaila March 2018
  • I would say the answer to this hinges highly on what you consider "competing" in PK

    To actually be considered an "mid-to-upper tier" PKer: Yes. You definitely need a system.

    To get by at foci? Nah, you can have some basic trigg…
  • @kalak hey, man, you started this whole diatribe by arguing against someone else's big dream, let people dream in peace! That's what this thread it for, big dreams, n…
  • Your assertions can't crush our dreams!
  • Selfish request: could I get an updated detailed install instructions? I am too unskilled at mudlet to follow here
  • Your emotes are twenty times faster than mine and always excellently written! And, Shachalai was definitely one of the characters I was most
    in Shachalai Comment by Zaila February 2018
  • I am curious: what's the function of the "information" box?

    And, not that I do combat often at all, but I agree completely with the "have everything I need to watch during combat spam in one small visual area" thing
  • @Eliadon

    Daresay, I've rather not the slightest notion whatever you've gone off and about just yet! Is rather not to say was a foolish bit of a thing or…
  • @Kodaza - that makes sense for some uses of the phrase, I tend to be trying to use the term to express "Someone who does the same thing over and over again like they…
