If you don't feel like reading thru all this, Xeph admits to bagjumping. Just an iron sword, but noobs start out as newbs too. [13:07:33] [Xeph @ 1]: does a leather set include an iron sword? [13:08:23] [lennywatson @ 1]: if you're talking about the NPC reward, yes, there is a sword [13:08:50] [Andrej_1 @ 1]: but if someone is selling a leather set there is no sword included [13:08:57] [lennywatson @ 1]: *tutorial reward. [13:08:58] [Xeph @ 1]: oh ok [13:09:09] [Xeph @ 1]: quest isn't working for me [13:09:15] [Andrej_1 @ 1]: only a helm, torso, pants, boots and gloves [13:09:21] Spell failed!

Get closer! [13:15:22] [PM from Xeph: lol, the guy isn't online anymore] [13:15:23] Spell failed! [13:15:25] Spell failed!

It occurred to me--as Douglas Adams came up in channel and EVERYONE in the channel had something to say--that you have here a perfect target audience for certain kinds of advertising. I know you don't want to compromise gameplay, but there must be ways of selling advert space in tasteful ways. I'm thinking sci-fi publishers, video game publishers, etc. Perhaps In-Game billboards....perhaps only allowing products that fit the aesthetic of the game--e.g fantasy novels/games. -L

Vendetta is a newly forming guild dedicated to making game-life miserable for those who make game-life miserable for others. I would love to see EL PK as places where the only fighting is training or with enemies. So I'm recruiting fighters; hi-lev and mid-lev dedicated trainers that we may by repeated killings bankrupt the "ebul" (read: adolescent who wants to be a bully but can't in real life) the outlaws, the scammers and the all around no-good doers. I would like to see a red tag mean something, a world where newbs can explore freely, spectate freely, and only be killed if there is some purpose. I would like to see an EL where there is a penalty for being a jerk, and that penalty is Vendetta. If this appeals to you, and you can help, let me know. Lets clean this place up, shall we?

Exactly

Thanks:) Let me clarify: the purpose of the guild depends on people continuing to be jerks (as I have no doubt they will) I simply wish to fight back, to inflict some consequence beyond only words. To hurt those who hurt others. Vendetta.

tinysniper mistook me for a noob and told me to take off my MM cape in gob cave and he would trade me something for it.

i mean, its not like it would have taken him more than a hit or two to kill me, but he had to cast harm on me from the sidelines. Wtf? I say wuss. I was trying to train. Don't PKers have anything better to do than hang around and interfere with low-levels training?

as i understand it, "outlaws" is specifically not about rule-breakers, but rather about kuso eaters who steal from, lie to, and otherwise harm people newer than themselves. So the rules of not being an ass don't apply to pk areas? I'm all about people trying to kill each other, but do you really enjoy and/or take pride in killing people so much weaker than yourselves? Why don't you kill rabbits? Is it just to prove that you're cooler than me? Well, good for you. I was trying to play a game. Train harder? I just worked my ass off to get Restoration so that I can pvp train, but whats the point if the pk community is all about killing the weak? Wouldn't you like it if "red taggging" or whatever you call it meant something? Here's a clue: it doesn't if you kill everybody who tries to enter a pk area anyway.

i thought noob was same as newbie? Titles in forums are forum ranking arent they? Yes, entris, that was the scam. Thought it was clear, sorry. -L
