  4. HE, why arent they made?

    I still mix/sell He's on a regular basis....but i hate it. It's just too boring. I dont like mining or mixing, that's just me of course. Usually u can find HE's on my bot Desirable. I dont stock her full like i used to with He's because i just dont have the time to mine the ore and mix the HE"s anyways. the mini harvest events slow down the harvesting , so that may be a factor in the amount of HE's available now...maybe ..dunno. I used to harvest silver ore and go do other things in real life (house cleaning blah) but u cant afk harvest anymore. So, most of my HE"s are for personal use now and some for my bot. Other than that, i dont mix alot of them.

  12. Lenny / Invasions channel

    I too would like lenny/invaision channel back to just that. I get flamed in channel for asking a question, and i'm not even in pk ? I can understand getting flamed if i was in pk , but i'm not. I've been lenny hunting since i've been back playing el (gone almost a year) and asking about lenny in channel and actually being able to see a response is very difficult now. As for invaisions i was here for 1 so far and saw absolutely nothing except the blue spam saying there was an invaision. Just too much on the screen to sift thru it all and find the answer to your question about lenny. Having said this, i do have the channel on when i'm mixing to be entertained , but....some of the stuff said is rather harsh. I dont see this as an attraction for new players that find thier way to channel 6. Some of it is pretty rough stuff for children to see. Sure there is filters and #ignore they can do, but then half of what was said on channel would make no sense at all. With all the profanity, it would be a bunch of jibberish to someone with filters turned on. We have to remember there are actual children playing this game; children in grade school. I have met 6 year olds, 8 year olds, 12 year old kids here in EL. Thier parents cant be there 100% of the time as they play to watch chat. This only if the child actually finds the channel to find out about lenny or invaisons of course. One sure way to lose a new player that is a child is to have thier parent walk over while they have channel 6 on and see some of the flaming there. It would be an instant "omg u are NOT playing this game" and there goes another player.
  13. Making EL better

    I still disagree with character wipeing. A lot of us have spent lots of our free time on our characters. I like mine the way it is. I enjoy being able to do the skills i can do now. If i want to start over i'll do a reset, but i'm happy the way i am. Why piss off most of the community by wipeing everything they worked for all thier EL life? As i said before, i dont see a whole lot wrong with the economy. To make gc just harvest and sell stuff, simple. You dont even have to deal with other players if you dont want to, just sell to a NPC or a bot. We all know there are tons of bots in the game. Or do guild projects harvesting/mixing/ selling and spliting the profits. Heck do what me and scorp did and save your gc's and buy your own trade bot. Then with your skills you so carefully leveled spending your pp's on nexus, put items u create on the bot to sell to the community. I really dont get why people think there is something so wrong with the economy? I've been playing over 3 years, and i still dont get it. If I need gc i harvest and sell, or harvest/mix/manur/craft whatever and sell it. Isn't that what the market channel is for? Dont like the market channel, no problem, sell to a bot or npc. Sometimes i sit in IoTF, watch the pretty colors of the sunset, harvest green apples, sell to the npc there, and buy a tele ring or two, just because it's peaceful and pretty there. No stress, no worries, peaceful and relaxing and hey, i'm making a bit of gc too , how about that. It's fun to chase the lil rabbits too hehe!
  14. Making EL better

    Limiting character class skills: This i would not much like, considering I have designed my character to be an "all arounder" and spent precious pp's on nexus to do so. I would hate to think my skills would be taken away for things i enjoy doing and have fun doing.
  15. Making EL better

    This is not one of those "beat the game" type games. You dont start with uber nice st00f, huge bag storage for picking up stuff, or even nexus to actually wear/use the higher level items. It's designed this way for a reason. Not being a dev i can only throw out an "oh i dunno , maybe so the newbie's learn how the game plays, how/what pp's are , where to spend them" . This game is meant to be "expierenced and explored" not won or beaten. I can only speculate that a lot of new players trying out EL for the first time are perhaps very young (8-13?) and just dont have the patience to play EL and get to know what it's really like, or how much fun it is to explore and try new skills. You can't have it all and do it all in a week here, that's one of the attractions of the game for me. Also, you have a great community of minds, opinions, personalities. You make friends here and you keep them. You ask how to keep new players from leaving? For one, maybe stop complaining about how the game is now. Changes happen, sure maybe we dont like them all, maybe we love others, but it happens, roll with it, grow with it, learn with it. A new player starts playing and all they hear / see is old players complaining about this or that. Where is the "lead by example" there for the new player? Help a new player, explain stuff, show them stuff, let them discover stuff too. That's the fun after all. As far as gc is concerned for a new player, guess what there is flowers and a garden right there on IP, they can harvest and sell veggies to npc in the tavern for gc WHILE they are reading stuff in the enecylopedia, which is what i did when i first started. I did this for two days. I had pleanty of GC to accomodate items i needed when i began. I dont see a whole lot that is "broken" with the game if anything. Harvest and sell stuff if u want gc. Make stuff and sell it. Tons of ways to make GC, i never understood the economy problem as I have always tried to be as self sufficiant as possible a player ie.. makeing all my own training potions, ess's, armors. What i could not make myself i harvest/sold to buy. It's amazing stuff npc's buy, and it's nice they do If it aint broke dont fix it. We dont need segragated player base. Make ur own gc. Stop complaining about the game in front of new players. Help new players. Sit back and enjoy a game. Smile it makes people wonder
  16. Making EL better

    WTH ? I'm one of those "300 health" characters and this is the same character i started with! I have NEVER bought or sold any characters and never intend to nor have the desire to. Geesh i built this character the way i wanted to. i've even reset 3-4 times (cant remember), and i worked my but off to get to where i am now. Do you think everyone in EL who has 300 or more health bought thier characters? NO! They actually played, leveled thier skills, and guess what, had fun doing it. If u play and get annoyed by looking at higher level health, TURN OFF THE HEALTH OPTION! Yeah , u can do that, or change it to just the bar. Restrict my access to maps that i have been going to for years for resources i need because i did not buy my character is the silliest thing i've heard. Who said you have to compete ? Why dont you just play and have fun ? It's a game. <------Notice i said game, that means it's suppose to be fun. If you want to compete, set personal goals for yourself, perhaps set a goal to make 1 skill level a day, or in a week or something like that. Compete against yourself, not others. This is not one of those "hack and slash level to the top in a week beat the game" type game. Segragating players based on who is buying / selling is not a good idea. It's like saying ok all the dwarf toons can only stay in votd, forever! How many people would make dwarf characters then? How many people who are currently dwarfs would make a new toon or leave because of that ? I"m not a fan of buying/ selling characters either, but , it's thier money and they play the game the way they want to. Personally, i like my character, i'm proud of every single level i have achieved on my own, be it a/d , potioning, alchemy, summoning, whatever. But limiting me to one continent?? Are you serious? How many players you think would leave EL then ? my 2 cents
  17. Players using good gear on low creatures ?

    Train in whatever you want, who cares what others think. You got the armor from somewhere, someone...helping the economy. From my side, i train in whatever doesnt get me killed, saves my resources so i dont have to heal a bunch or use a ton of SR's, just kinda makes sense to me. I really never cared what others thought of what i was wearing. Actually, that never entered my mind. I was more concerned with playing the game the way i wanted to, haveing fun and not caring what other people do or how they play the game thier way. Everything i ever trained on was way stronger than me so i needed good protection, good armor. I did this for the great expierence i got . The only time i used aug or regular armor or even no armor was for pvp training. I never use a weapon when "training" , only a bone or bare fists. That's the was the way i played. Peace
  18. Thanksgiving Food

    maybe i misunderstood the original question: Do you prefer the food the day of thanksgiving or the day after... For me, I PERFER it the day of.
  19. Thanksgiving Food

    It's only good to me fresh and hot the day of thanksgiving, it's never as good the day after.
  20. Wannabe crafter needs advice

    Being a fairly new low level crafter myself, i started with the cotton thing first too. Next i made the rings, silver and gold, went very well, very fast. But, u do gotta harvest the ingredients of course. Next, polishing gems, as suggested, do the gems that require only 1 of each ingredient: sandpaper, water ess, gem. Sell the gems to the npc, buy more sanding paper/ FP's and do it again. Polishing gems helped me level very well. Making empty vials as well is great, but you have to get the vial mold first, either get the ingredients for someone to make it for you, buy it, or read all the books for it, get your manu'r up to make. I did try medallions, personally, I prefer the polishing the gems. It's easy, and relaxing. Good luck, have fun
  21. best pk drop ever

    JS, CoL, Steel Torso...but i returned it I pk for the fun of it, not the drops
  22. Increase the gc Cyclops drop

    I trained clops for 6 months when i was at that level.....great exp , could almost always find a spawn, ya they broke my stuff, so what, just bought new stuff from ppl who make it. Yes, i used he's and sr's, so what, just bought more from ppl who make that too. I dont get why yu are complaining? I would train solid for 3-5 days till i ran outta resources, then just go harvest/alch more, buy more. I was not / am not a "hard core alch/potter" as you said those are the ppl that train clops. I had excellent advice from someone helping me train, and i listened! I just wore better armor, hence less damage to me , less resources used. I would just load up on he's and sr's and train till i ran out, go restock and get back to spawn to train more. Everyone has a "style" to train, you just gotta try different approaches.....armor, weapons, medallions....to see what works best for you. Also, never hurts to ask for advice, that's what i did This worked well for me, and while i was harvesting for making more he's, i was lucky to find some pretty stones once in a while, sold those to buy more sr's too It all worked out for me, i got a/d exp, a lil gc, drops to sell, more alch/harv exp = oa's fast. I will say that i never trained on ogre's , i jumped from trolls to cyclops, i like to "push" my training. I just adjusted my gear to accomodate this, with advice from my trainer. I tried different stuff till i found what worked and went for it.

  25. Emote codes for the client

    sorry for second post: I dont have any issues using shift key, it's not that hard haha after all, I have to use if for @ and # anyways and the % is also a shift usage (it's number 5) As long as it's simple to use, not requireing a "set" as in using the () or [] or {} , and if we had to use those, that's fine too, not too hard really choosing any key to type it using shift key or not. I have never seen or used any other keyboard other than one made here in usa, so i have no clue how other countries set up keyboards. That being said it would be a nice idea to consider this when decideing the key to use for emotes. BTW, i think it is fantastic to add these, will be fun !
