Why, you ask? Because it's the weekend after EL's 5th Birthday!!! Time : TBA - we are working on making this Event time-friendly to all who play. Place: Whitestone City Castle Come One, Come All! Games, Fun, Surprises and Prizes await you. Trivia your thing? Match your knowledge of Eternal Lands with the savviest. Something new and exciting float your boat? Well obviously I won't give it away.... Feeling lucky? There's a Lottery in the offing. Remember seeing Fireworks displays before? Well you won't have seen this kind. As the date comes closer I will add to this invitation with more details, so check back often. Anyone who would like to help in any manner, please contact Curia, Enly, Ferny, Lumino, or SleepyDragon or leave us a post. The more participation, the more just plain FUN! Brought to you, in part by CES, but with the help of many others. A Big Thank You in advance!

Well I have to admit that I am just flabbergasted. We have one last (I hope for the sake of my sanity) twist/surprise/conundrum *tries very hard to contain the excitement*....................... There is a full set of Black Dragon armor that has been donated as a prize. It deserves and will get a time to it's own. Because of the complexity of the hunt for it, I suspect that there will be a channel devoted to just discussion about it. That will be determined later. Please wait for the announcement. A gauntlet has been cast down. Who amongst you will accept the Challenge? Be smart, quick and hardy and you MAY find the things that gleam even in your darkest hour. And as a Post Script: I was to have begun posting a list of very generous and selfless folks who have given to make this time a fun thing. That will indeed happen. My word on it. Happy Birthday, Eternal Lands Ferny

Check that - the Lottery Pool is now over 65k gc. Please do look at the Lumino's Flow Chart - Gives a whole new meaning to "The More, The Merrier"! Remember you don't have to be there to win and you can buy as many or as few tickets as you want. There are no minimums or maximums. Sales will continue up until about an hour ahead of drawing time, which will occur just before the fireworks. So if you happen to harvest a few more lilacs while you're enjoying the festivities ... Additionally, there are a "few" other prizes to be won by sleuth, knowledge or just plain luck. *Big Grin* Ferny

Ah and a New twist has been added! A Hyper bag hunt! Devilish Dilemmas. Sly Situations. Ruinous Riddles. Have the mind of a sleuth? Think you know more than the average Grizzly? One hint and one hint alone on these forums I will give. How well do you know the ins and outs of that glorious map called White Stone? P.S. Want to help with this or any other part? We need both able bodies and generous souls. P.P.S. Thank you to Roja (for this and too many other things to mention) http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?act=calendar

Received permission from Gossip to post this here .... Sounds Exciting! "From gossip I received a letter from a traveling theatre troupe, The Eternal Players, telling me that they are planning on coming to Draia to perform a play. This group is well known in other parts, because they put on some great shows. They are a Commedia dell'arte troupe, so their first show will be in that style, but I?ve heard that they can perform a wide variety of styles. Here/s what I?m thinking- wouldn?t it be great if they decided to settle down in Draia? I would love to be able to go and see new shows from time to time. That?s why I?m hoping that we have a great turn-out at their premiere. I?ve also heard that they are always looking for new plays to perform, so I?m hoping that some of you in this RP group will write some plays for them to produce. They don?t have to be long, or funny, just well thought out. If you want to write a play for them, contact scafativ in-game for details; he?s acting as The Eternal Player?s agent while they?re here."

Lottery Sales begin today, 1 Feb Minimum Pot : 10k gc Price per ticket : 50 gc Winner takes All. (Last summer's Gala pot was ~100k gc) Sales will continue up until 1 hour before the drawing. You do not need to be present to win. Please contact Curia, Enly, Ferny, Lumino or Sleepy Dragon in game to play. Oh, by the way I had a very odd email from Gossip. Something about friends of hers coming to White Stone for the Party. She's being a little coy about details, but I'll see what I can worm out of her. Remember, Saturday February 16th!

To all you posters and repliers...... Please, please remember that our very dear friend, Lumino, is enthusiastic beyond belief. He loves this community of ours and wants to share that feeling. I applaud that and will continue to applaud that spirit until the day that I can no longer hope to see the Unicorn in WhiteStone. I suspect, and I am only speaking for myself here, that he was looking for some idea as to the scope of the event we should be planning. And I do mean *we*, as I will be as much involved, as will many others. You all know I don't post often. It is because I think fewer words speak louder. Give us a chance to formulate some concrete ideas and present them to you. I doubt you will be disappointed. Time may be short, but where there is a will........! Respectfully, Ferny

Video card: GeForce 7300 GS/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! Vendor ID: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Version: 2.0.3 So far no problems. Install smooth. Went to a place where I usually get serious lag (Naralik Catacombs) and was much better. Increased FPs limits to 50 and worked fine. Toggling to full screen and back was relatively seamless. Will edit if I find anything. EDIT: Still getting random resynchs with the server in Tirnym - especially when a Phantom Warrior enters the screen. Having multiple PW's ON the screen doesn't seem to do it though. Lotsa lag too.

That was a blast!! Prolly the one and only time I will ever voluntarily PK. Thank You Roja!

Nope. Mike. I am and always will be a proponent of a Woman's Right to Choose. Mitt kinda falls short there.

Having worked once for a Market Research firm, I have to laugh (and yes I have voted in every US election - including primaries since I was old enough to do so). The questions about how do you feel or what do you believe can never be open-ended enough, unless you make them that way on purpose and include None of the Above as a possible response. Regardless. #1 Mike Gravel. #2 Mitt Romney. #3 Dennis Kucinich The first two I know, and one of which I actively support. The last I was surprised with and need to do more research. Suffice it to say I would like to see how the poll was weighted. As a matter of course, these things are written to confound and not to inform. Yes I am a skeptic, but I get my trigger finger to the polls every time! I encourage every voter to do the same where and when they can! Ferny

Betchya I'll be there with bells on! Ferny

Same for me. Love the new remote storage window and so many other things.

35k

erm but what if they were heavy? like 20+ emu?

Absolute blast! First invasion that I did more than heal at beam, because I knew I had SOME chance of not getting smooshed. And the Unicorns at the end were just stupendous! WTG Ace! Ferny

Please PM me here or In Game (Ferny)

Building on Nintenduhs idea since we don't all summon and there is already a quickbar for spells (Unless that is removed to free up space for something else? umm... not too certain about what that might be or if I would want to retrain my fingers from Alt 1 for restore): No clue if this is doable...but another tab on the Options page to select different catagories that would show up in this Quick Menu idea. For instance: An alchemy quick menu, where IF you have the ingreds in your inventory AND have read any necessary books you could click on the product you wanted<insert alchemy product here> and the proper proportion of ingreds would apear in the mix portion of your manu window. Same for the other "manu window" skills, but you'd have to select which two skills on the Options page. Often times I've said to myself "oki Ferny, after having made 225k+ FE since the counters started, wouldn't it be nice if my computer KNEW that I wanted to make more when I have the right ingredients in inv?" And yes I know the Options page is already getting crowded. Sub menus possibly? The Commands list is a great idea and should come first. And yes, I would really like to be able to swap cloaks/tools/weapons "on the fly", but this is really secondary, IMHO. <edited for spelling and clarity I hope>

Oh NUUUUU! Roja and Ent are going on vacation Again! eek! Remember what happened when they got back from the last one? Aluwen help us ALL! Obviously just kidding! Have a great time! Ferny <edit> spelling
