you got disconnected from server, thats what happened (due to it beeing down completely, see other topic )

hmmm??? furthermore there was a link on the eg site to start playing !! perhaps you mis-read something eldwen :wink:

Hey all, eventhough the new test server will be online we had been planning this quest allready so here goes: On Sunday the 18th of April at 21:00 GMT (9 pm GMT) the Eternal Guardians will be hosting an extraordinary quest event. It will be a enjoyable quest, which main goal is to bring some more fun into Eternal Lands, bring people together and revolutionize the events of EL, that lately have just become the regular manhunts. This is not a manhunt, but a quest with a story that will evolve as you proceed with the quest. It would be an advantage to have a good knowledge of the different places in Eternal Lands, but it is not required. In general you will also need a fair knowledge about the items in Eternal Lands and their uses. The Story: The good ship "Mary" had set sails for the Grubani docks 3 days ago carrying goods to the coming tribe celebration in southern Grubani. Alas the Ghaelan Ocean was rebellious due to the terrible storm that had haunted the lands 2 days ago - what destiny had this storm brought the sailors? Your quest will start when you report at the Corren Tavern to the EG member there and he'll start you off, the Quest exists of a total of 9 Checkpoints - all in non-PK maps. We will make individual logs of every player reporting at each Checkpoint (hence cheating is not possible - so don't even try it) and the 10 fastest people to do this quest will collect the prizes. (you can monitor this in realtime ) But remember - this is about having fun, and not about the prizes - use this opportunity to get away from the usual levelling, and have fun by doing a quest with some of your friends You may win or you may not - doesn't matter as long as you have fun A Potions Maker Cloak is HIGHLY recommended for this quest! How does it work ?? you need to sign up on the EG website ) and you will be added to the player list. to play you need to have EL running windowed on say 800x600 if you have a 1024x768 screen this is needed for the the dialog panel Sunday 21:00 gmt report to the EG member in corren tavern and you are all set to go !! Quest time: Around 1-2 hours ( 21:00 - 23:00 GMT) Prizes: 1. 15000 Platinum coins (15mill) 2. 10000 platinum coins (10 mill) 3. 6000 platinum coins (6 mill) 4. 4000 platinum coins (4 mill) 5. 3000 platinum coins (3 mill) 6. 2000 platinum coins (2 mill) 7. Doom cape 8. 1000 platinum coins (1 mill) 9. Tit Serp 10. Tit Chain 11. Cloak set and for the rest that did not get to the first 11, we have for everyone that fully completes the quest within the timeframe a surprise gift Good luck ...

hehehe which means you need to start a new char, logically you have noting in ya storage so plenty of room !! :twisted:

more storages with the known radius ban dont make the game any easier, but at least it would spread ppl around the maps more if the storages are carefully placed in convienant places. i agree with soldus, a map so big as the ws map and no storages is kinda weird

as i recall the colored guild tag caused a lot of crashing allready ?? so colored names would prolly cause the same thing

Very vague info on what it is that "could" be changed and if it would improve any gameplay not enough to base an opinion on !! if one is willing to let us use a new system we'd better get a trial play before we can decide wether its a better system, in this suggestion the ignorance can cost ya a system which you might be happy with if one would vote yes !!! my 2 cents.

NO !! if we'd lose the current stats i'll bet you can count on Losing a lot of higher lvl players that have worked their ass off to reach it !! as for me i would definetly stop playing EL :!: :!:

the increase of players (saw over 300 last nite ) demands for MORE storages not moving them, the Ban on doing stuff doesnt work as it stays crowded near storages, logically we need More of them and they all need to have the same stuff meaning food in every single one of them !! summoning should be banned to a special map with a storage to pull summon stuf only (no deliverly, just retrieval) so that they can train there. if nessacery make summon events to show off to each other or whatever summoning animals was intended to use in fights if i recall correctly but now it only bothers a lot of ppl that just want to use the storage guy in "normaly" safe maps !! my 2 cents.

i downgraded too, it does make it more stable !! but still a few crashes a day are still happening so it didnt solve the main problem yet, but at least now im able to play for a reasonable amount of time

Prolly has to do with the server move see http://eternal-lands.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2794

OK, after a few days with the patches that has been released it noticed the folowing: * the optimized unstable version crashes here within very small amount of time so i didnt try that anymore * the Tradeoff seems to be working but crashes als pretty soon like the optimized unstable * the Slow version sofar is my best option, and i can stay playing for a while depending on: where am i, and who else is there and what am i or they doing. i noticed that when it gets busier the client tend to crash a lot more. specially when you to try to something yourself like harving or alch or whatever. as soon as i arrive in VOTD storage its a matter of a few mins to be crashing but its not nessacery to be doing something just hang out on a busy place whit a lot of ppl and lotsa things like summun and who knows what going on and after a (little longer then when doing stuff yourself too) while you're history .... my non knowledgeable head tells me that it has partly to do with the amount of graphical things that the videocard has to process since its a increase of those that makes me go down. cause like when im at portland killing gobbi's its quiet around me except from the gobs and animals that come long and i can be there for a long time whitout any crashes. but naturally that would be a too logical and simple explanation so i reckon it somehow also has something to do with data packets going up and down to/from the server or a combination of both of the above perhaps the packets are getting in the way of the grapics procsessing ?? i dunno im no programmer and have no experience on this matter but merely brainwaivin no error logs get created here, at least i couldn't find any hope this give some feedback on the patches against the crashing but it seems it did solve that much yet.. Back to the drawing board...

Ok waitin for the moment to be fixed...... thnx for the info sofar

dl'd the latest nvidia drivers dl'd the complete version 0.95 of el again and it didn't help a bit it is generatings errors pretty frequently now have clouds and shadows disabled (default setting here for me ) screen 1152 x 864 windowed, dunno if it has anything to do with the lag problem a lot of ppl seem to experience, cant tell what ppl see when i lost the game again dunno if i lagged out in their views but here it just freezes and w2k will start to generate error log but never finnishes it grrrrr..
