  1. Which part of the brain do you use more?

    She is absolutely intent on going clockwise for me. Had my hubby look and he saw her going widdershins (counterclockwise) but could make her switch. I can't seem to see her going anything but clockwise. Interestingly, I am much more comfortable with computer things than he is and better at them. In the activities description I would say I use both sides equally and have read that females are more likely to do that and males more likely to switch rapidly between left and right sides. I loved Blodoks comment. Seems he used the left side of his brain to explain why he sees her going clockwise.
  2. You know yoy play EL too much when...

    When your partner is going to the store and asks if you need anything and you check storage to see if there is still plenty of milk left.
  3. What is your opinion about multiplaying?

    Big concern for lot of people seems to be clogging up access to resources/storage with alt mules sitting around. How hard would it be to program an automatic grue for those afk a certain time limit in those places? Maybe need this already as lot of folks sit for hours in spots they are not really using but that others may need. (Forgive me devs, please if that would be difficult/impossible. I don't claim to be a programmer.) Thing is the rules, as they are are now, are only partially enforceable, it appears, and unenforcable rules are never going to be fair and will always create a great deal of frustration for those trying to enforce them.
  4. What is your opinion about multiplaying?

    My husband, myself and numerous grandkids and kids play EL from our computers at different times. The kids love to come to grandma's and play because our internet is cable and they have dial up at home. It would be a sad thing if I had to tell them they couldn't do that because of too many characters from one IP. I have alts and they don't even know each other, but have not been playing them, partly because of so much recent controversy about multi playing. I made them, like someone else said, to try other things. My main is over 5 million experience for each pickpoint now. Hope this can get sorted out so everyone is comfortable with knowing exactly what the rules are. I would not mind registering the characters who play from my computer if that would help. I don't really know enough about MMORPG's to be able to evaluate what effect legal multi playing would have on EL so will abstain from vote.
  5. How old are you?

    I am 60 years old.
  6. Yay! \o/

    Congratulations!!! Nice to get the birthing over with and get on with new baby. Hope all is going wonderfully for you ..... ***Hugs***
  7. Specific Bot market channel?

    I like this idea....think more people would buy from/sell to bots if it were easier to know what they are trading. Also think with bots on market channel it is confusing for new players who do not know which are bots and which are players.
  8. Harvester medallion

    Is it possible break rate is related to harvest level? I have high harvest and broke 3 with only blessing 180gc on last breakage. Have not tested further because too expensive.
  9. multiplaying

    There are potentially 10 or more different people who might play from my ISP since I have children and grandchildren who use the computer at my house. Same with each of their home ISP's since any of us might be at each others homes. Not much I can do about having a big family at this late date.
  10. I agree that hitting compass during chancy fight is a good way to preserve the location of bag if/when you die. I have often wished there were some way of leaving identification of death bag though.....or any bag. It would help those who find a bag and wish to return it and would make a clear distinction with bag left in mine whether it is discard or belongs to someone who is bag mixing. Sorry I did quick search on subject of 'death bag identification' and didn't come up with anything at all. Sometimes just don't know what to look for I guess.
  11. Total war between guilds

    Even IP would not be safe? Major change there.
  12. Total war between guilds

    I agree that storages should be safe areas....some have lag enough already without the additional drag of battles going on.
  13. Alcoholism

    There is too much 'blame the victim' in medical things already. Many choices people make can lead to illness or injury that requires treatment. If we begin withholding treatment (or withholding insurance coverage which for many would amount to the same thing) for everything that could have been caused by a choice someone made, a lot of us would suffer because we did not eat our vegetables, excercise consistently or did something foolish. And this blaming of people may actually discourage some from getting help they need for fear of being accused of being not only ill but somehow "bad". But there is another factor in alcoholism as well. Some people are much more susceptible to becoming addicted to it than others. I drink and it has never become a problem for me yet my brother was an alcoholic for many years before he accomplished recovery. Since we both drank alcohol but only one of us became addicted it is hard to see how it it was his 'fault'. I see alcoholism as almost more an allergy, like being sensitive to bee stings. Some of us are impacted a great deal more than others by its effects and we do not yet have reliable means of determining who is going to become alcoholic.
  14. Three word story

    he pulled out
  15. Recycling plant

    Interesting thought. There are more people, though, who are poor than people who are rich. Wonder how the cumulative totals look, particularly since tax breaks/loopholes go to the rich more.
  16. Three word story

    a big wind
  17. Essences and Magic

    If there were healer perk, there would also need to be healer cape or cloak....some people don't want perks.
  18. Does EL have crack in it?

    Yup LOL Get a gf (or bf) for sure. Then get gf/bf to play EL with you. Best of both worlds.
  19. So, what do we think about the new changes?

    Ooh I like the idea of a remote restore. And, Entropy and Roja, you know players love this game and most really appreciate all your work. Don't get discouraged because of griping.....is just evidence game is important to people.
  20. Three word story

    floated gently skyward
  21. So, what do we think about the new changes?

    People have commented that healing is an expensive hobby and it just got more so. I won't stop healing ppl, though, and it is nice that my heals do more points of recovery. Extra experience would lessen negative impact of changes maybe.
  22. What is your political compass score?

    Hmm. If one adds up all the taxes: income tax, social security, plus the cost of health insurance we americans probably pay as much out as those in socialist countries.
  23. What is your political compass score?

    Economic Left/Right -5.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -6.92 What can I say....labeled again. Lol I can usually find something to agree about with anyone.
  24. Send good thoughts

    A daughter is a great joy! May she be a blessing to your lives and you to hers. Congratulations!!
  25. The Recent Invasion

    It was a glorious invasion. The gifts for healers were greatly appreciated but I have always healed without expectation of any reward and will continue to do so. Don't know if this pic will work but going to try:
