Llynara

Thank you SO MUCH for the cool new eye candy effects. I thought EL was already pretty cool, but it just got a whole lot better! Downloaded Dejan's build of the CVS client and took these pics of my honey playing around in Bethel and SKF. EL r0x0rs! Llyn New Restore, Eagle Wing and Jagged Sabre Effects:

Thanks, everyone. Glad you enjoy the pics. And most of all, thanks KarenRei! *BIG HUGS* to our goddess of special effects! Lu- I'm still trying to catch some good pics of the remote heal. The effect is amazing, but hard to capture in a single shot. I got this one, with the balls of light hovering, which was pretty neat: And here are the shield and heal spells: (though hard to do them justice!) These are just a blast (literally, lmao!) I can't wait to see what Karen has up her sleeve next! Llyn Edit: tried to put some other pics in a separate post, but they keep running together, sorry. ============================================================== If you haven't tried summoning in the new client, check it out. There are some very interesting things going on, especially those purple triangles beneath the summoner's feet: And the portal room sure is pretty these days, if your video card can handle it (I have a bit of trouble, but still enjoy the view):

Well, as a mom, I find it nice to be appreciated at least one day out of 365. That doesn't seem like much to ask. Llyn

Two more: MN blessing and special stones (tried hard to get a shot of this, but not easy!)

OMG, that would so ROCK! And while we're on the subject of cookware, a nice wooden rolling pin would go great with those frypans to help keep the menfolk in line. *grins wickedly @ Korrode* Llyn PS. Have read the frypan book and am eagerly awaiting its implementation in the game! Woohoo! \o/

Here's one from my wedding yesterday, where Scorp showed up and began taking his clothes off at the reception. And we didn't even have to pay him! What a wedding present! \o/ Nothing like a stripping gnome to liven up the party a bit! (Used with permission) Wish I'd gotten a closeup, but was temporarily blinded by the trauma! The other entry is in my siggy. Can't wait to get those frying pans in game, hee hee...*grins wickedly @ Korrode* BWA HA HA HA! Llyn

Thank you, everyone, for coming to our wedding! A wonderful time was had by all...because all the crazy people showed up! Yay!!! Thank you for the gift of your presence and the wonderful gifts you brought....everything was very much appreciated. A special thanks to all our friends in the wedding party, particularly Quercus, who did an incredible job "officiating" the ceremony. What an amazing day in the Eternal Lands! Thank you to all the developers and mods who work so hard to make EL a wonderful place for friendship and romance to bloom! Llyn PS. For our friends who couldn't make it, I've got screenies and chatlog of the wedding (only thing omitted was a few PM's and some smilies, board said I was over the limit). My computer slowed to a crawl because of the lag. I was afraid I'd grue right in the middle of the vows, lol. Thanks for everyone who took screenshots, I didn't get as many as I'd like, but I think between all of us, we covered it quite well.

Just a reminder: The wedding is today at Palon Vertas Magic School, in approximately 10 hours. (Sat, 8pm Central for US; Sun 11 am EST for Australia). Please do not worry about presents...we don't need anything, and the gift of your "presence" on our special day is more than enough. Just come and have a good time with us! Hope to see you there, Llyn

Hee hee, yep those fluffs love to nibble on my sweet Korrode. Glad you like the pics, I love taking EL screenies, can you tell? Went mining tonight and took a few pics of MN smacking me around, lol. At least it LOOKS cool, even if it doesn't feel so great! Llyn PS Would love to see other people's pics of the new effects on this thread!

And the harm spell...way cool!

Oh cool! A wedding "photographer"! LOL Yes, pics/screenies would be GREAT. Thanks so much! \o/ Llyn PS Thanks cissy and *hugs* Wish you could make it, girlie!

Gotta add my two cents. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! Potioning in EL has gotten SOOO much better in the last few weeks! It feels like Christmas in EL!!!! Happy dancing, Llyn

I can verify what Looter and Leoi have posted. Mononoke actually left RICH after getting caught scamming the other day and being told he needed to make it right. As far as I know, he did, and then began PMing members of RICH asking to be let back in. Up until recently, he'd been a good guildie (yes, Mononoke is a guy with a girl character). We'd considered giving him a second chance since he seemed genuinely sorry, but after what transpired today, absolutely not. Here's my logs from this morning: [08:17:37] #Ig [Looter:LGC] hi can a high rank pm me [08:17:38] You have been saved! [08:18:15] [PM to Looter: Hi, how can I help you?] [08:18:33] [PM from Looter: one of my members just got scammed by one of your members] [08:18:42] [PM from Looter: the old gc 1st trick] [08:18:44] [PM to Looter: Who was involved and what happened?] [08:19:26] [PM from Looter: mononoke traded leoi for 2 hydro bars, leoi failed to ask for gc last and mon changed the gc] [08:19:48] RallosZek: enough? [08:19:57] rachie: lol yes Cheesy ty so much Cheesy [08:20:11] RallosZek: np :> [08:20:12] [PM to Looter: Let me talk to him, just a minute] [08:20:18] [PM from Looter: kk thx] then I looked up stats on gossip and then did a #list_guild to see if someone had let Mononoke back in RICH, but apparently not (that's the only part I cut from this, gossip stats and long list of guildies) [08:22:50] [PM to Mononoke: why are you scamming people?] [08:23:20] [PM from Mononoke: i scammed one peaple] [08:23:32] [PM to Mononoke: Looter says you scammed someone out of hydro bars?] [08:23:43] [PM from Mononoke: yes] [08:23:53] [PM to Mononoke: why?] [08:24:29] [PM from Mononoke: i ask you back day but you don't ask me Sad] [08:24:35] [PM to Looter: He left RICH the other day and had asked to be let back in. He will NOT be let back into RICH. We don't allow scamming] [08:24:41] [PM to Looter: talking to him now] [08:24:52] [PM to Mononoke: so that's a reason to scam people?] [08:24:57] [PM from Mononoke: i need to join in RICH but... Sad you not ask me... and tirun] [08:25:05] [PM to Mononoke: I was at school at day] [08:25:09] [PM from Looter: ok thanks] [08:25:26] [PM to Mononoke: We talked on GM about this last night and were going to let you back in. But cannot do that now that you are scamming more people] [08:25:40] [PM to Looter: no problem, very sorry about that. I hate scammers] [08:25:57] [PM to Mononoke: Our rules say no scamming] [08:26:29] [PM from Mononoke: ok, tyvm, sorry for that i like RICH and i need join again] [08:26:38] [PM from Mononoke: i not scammed more] [08:26:53] [PM from Mononoke: accept me in RICH ? again] [08:27:15] [PM to Mononoke: Looter says you just scammed someone named leoi in a hydro bar deal] [08:27:25] [PM to Mononoke: that you changed the money at the last minute] [08:27:30] [PM to Mononoke: is this true?] [08:27:56] [PM from Mononoke: yes i scammed leoi for 2 hydro bars] [08:28:07] [PM to Mononoke: Then you need to make it right] [08:28:14] yionRay: hi llyn [08:28:15] [PM to Mononoke: and no, we do not allow scamming here in RICH] [08:28:18] Llynara: hi yion [08:28:27] [PM to Mononoke: you cannot be in RICH and scam people] [08:29:24] [PM from Mononoke: i promys: i don't scammed more people... please accept mi again and i stop i this scamming ] [08:29:27] [PM to Looter: I told him he needs to make it right, I don't know if he will. I am sorry that your friend got scammed Sad] [08:29:48] [PM from Mononoke: in*] [08:30:33] [PM to Mononoke: No, too much scamming. I'm sorry] [08:30:33] [PM from Looter: ok thanks alot, i will wait and see what happens] [08:31:03] [PM from Mononoke: i scammet leoi and kramhel.... i stop this Smiley] [08:31:21] [PM from Mononoke: but i give money in kramhel] [08:31:40] [PM to Mononoke: It's still wrong] [08:31:57] [PM to Mononoke: and if you don't give money back to leoi, someone will probably post you in outlaws] [08:32:11] [PM to Mononoke: scamming is the worst way to ruin your reputation in EL] [08:33:30] [PM from Mononoke: i give money from leoi but please accept me again in RICH and i stop my scamming forever] [08:34:44] [PM to Mononoke: Sorry, no. You are scamming too much. We were going to let you in after first time, but you keep scamming people] [08:34:53] [PM to Mononoke: this is not good for you and not good for our guild] The conversation ended there. I'm just shaking my head over this one. Llyn

I have a theater background, as well as broadcasting. I've been in musicals, acted in and directed one-act plays (mainly back in highschool), and have written, directed and performed in skits for my church as well. The most recent ones I did were for a series last Christmas. I've also written, voiced and produced projects for video as well (some requiring acting). Just wish it paid better...acting and broadcasting aren't careers for me, but definitely are hobbies I enjoy a lot. Llyn

Have a wonderful time and don't worry about the online stuff. Take a real vacation! We'll miss you two, and hope you both get some much needed rest. Llyn

Posted some invasion pics on the public section of the RICH forum. Friends are welcome to share their faves: http://richtimothy.com/index.php?topic=632.0 Enjoy, Llyn

OMG! They cloned Acelon??? Run!!!! Llyn

This one was interesting, with the different areas for different levels of fighting. Again, great fun! Edited to add: Loved fighting in the trees! What a fantastic use of that map! Such a blast! Llyn PS Aluwen rocks! She is teh goddess!

That second invasion was a total blast! Aluwen totally rocks! And *someone* did a very nice job with their acting skills. Thanks for the fun...time to pass out from all the excitement! Llyn

Great fun, though *someone* needs to work on his acting skills... Llyn

Great story, Fonc/Drkhwk! You've sucked me in, can't wait to read more of your adventures! Llyn PS Happy to lend a hand in editing if you'd like. I love to play with words!

While I am not a high level crafter and don't plan on being anytime soon, I find the nexus requirements to be totally acceptable since you can also use them to do manu. I can't use my vegetal nexuses to do anything other than potioning, and summoners can't use their animal nexuses for anything else as far as I'm aware. So spending pick points on Artificial nexuses IS a worthwhile investment, since they give you double duty. If you don't like crafting, you can still do manu and vice versa. Nice to have this flexibility since crafting is one of the more challenging skills to develop. Llyn;)

I think this is a great "backup" option for potioners. It's nice to have a tool in storage you can pull out and whip up some vials with quickly when you find yourself short of them. So far, I've made 250 vials with no problems, carrot still going strong and gained a crafting level from it too. Thanks, Ent, for giving potioners another alternative for vials! Heck, I'm still thrilled with the empty vial seller that was put in a while ago. When I started playing back in August, it was a real challenge to get my hands on empty vials without an incredible amount of work. Now it's easier and a lot more fun. I love potioning!!! Thanks again, Llyn;)

Happy Birthday EL! You've come a long way, baby! And you still got it! Hugs and kisses, Llyn

As in RL, it all depends on what you do with what you have. Some people could sell ice to Eskimos, some can't. In EL, some excel monetarily no matter what skill they choose (crafting, potions, manu, etc) simply because it comes easily to them. Others don't care or have other goals. That's the beauty of EL (in my opinion) ~ there's room for all types and the game keeps growing and changing. I'm not sure anything needs to be "fixed", it's more about choosing how you're going to work around the obstacles in the game to get where you want to go. To me, that's the fun and challenge of EL. Llyn
