Lol - fair enough

Ok, so I can't have it back until I have an "aggressive plan" for leveling it but then I can? Ok, don't delete it, just leave it blocked for now. When I can convince my work not to send me abroad for 3-15 days at a time and I can afford the time to level it in a month, I'll do that. As for the levels, I know a blessed bot gets 500 c & p added to it but do you realise how little that is when the pots you want to make for it are mostly 5emu and sometimes higher? This makes 500 C&P not a lot really, and considering money, I can't really justify getting a double blessing just yet so I want to level his a/d for where I plan to put him and also, the few extra C&P points I can get will be a big help for his carry cap. I used a/d for leveling his oa as I don't wish to be seen to have a bot that can pot / manu / alc etc on a viable commercial basis, also the mm perk costs pp's which I want to go towards carry cap so he must be strong enough to be ignored. I thought this was more sensible than having a bot named PotBot with a potting lvl of like 50+. It would've looked somewhat suspect.... One last point. As for people having an alt or two, not long before my job changed and I was required to stay away, Radu came on and said because of a server test, he wanted everyone's alts on and if we didn't have one to make one or four. Does this not at least imply the he accepts and even encourages alts? If so, surely he is leading by example? Either way.... Aside from the rambling here, I would like to say: Ok, leave it blocked for now and I will sort out the time to get it done. Also, thanks again for whitelisting our mains, at least we can play (well, I can when I'm here...). Oh yes, and I have read the rules and PotBot can't make potions and if he could, I wouldn't multi with him cos if he made the pots, my main wouldn't get the exp / lvls and PotBot is, after all, only going to be a bot.....

Hi. Thanks for whitelisting TheSpread & Vosperette, but I would like you to whitelist PotBot too pls. I am trying to level him up a bit to be a potion bot for me in the future (as per your post and other posts in the Bots section of these forums): ".....a store or guard bot. --Any leveling done to the bot on your part MUST be done before it is turned into a bot. --All testing must..." I don't really feel like it is justified to with-hold PotBot from me when I have been trying to level him up (albeit slowly as: 1) I prefer to concentrate on my main char & 2) I haven't been on in a bit due to work). Therefore, I would appreciate his being whitelisted as I do not believe that the added capacity used by my having a bot would place undue strain on anything. Again, my thanks in advance for accomadating this request :-)

Hi. After a bit of an absence, my wife and I are trying to log in to play but it says our IP address is banned (again?) and we don't know why. Could you please un-ban our IP addy as we really want to get on again. Our chars are: TheSpread, Vosperette and my little project char PotBot. Thanks v much :-)

I'm all for the whole save energy thing, but to do this would be a (dark) exercise in futility because: A ) Power stations still run in order to produce the energy needed for businesses, hospitals, utilities etc so will run as usual... B ) Not everyone will do it so it's a great publicity thing, but honestly how many people will do this thing? C ) The computer I'm writing this on uses about the same power as ALL the (low-voltage energy-saving) lights in my flat (which are not all on at the same time anyway) and I'm NOT turning this off as I get so little time to be on here as it is... D ) Until we get decent non-polutive sources of power (nuclear, wind, solar, geo-thermal, wave etc etc....) what really is the point? E ) Until power companies and governments get involved PROPERLY nothing will really change except for 1 hour of my personal time I will be IN THE DARK! WTF! If everyone was into the erection of wind-farms or nuclear power stations we'd be getting somewhere. Unfortunately, too many of these "we're doing what we can to save the planet" lot are also in the "not in my back yard" club. Hypocritical and self-defeating? What do I know Sorry, but that's how I see it so for me, the lights stay on

Is ok now. I have taken a hammer to the pc and now it seems to be ok and I can get onto the game at last Oh, and the beating I gave it seems to have made the fan quieter too Hammers ftw!

Hi, I have downloaded and installed the new 1.6.0 and can't even get the game to start now I start to run it and before anything really happens, the load-screen comes up and then this little box appears saying that the client has encountered a problem and needs to close (and do I want to send an error report). Then it closes. Can't even open the game enough to type #glinfo to get the stuff you need. But I think this is it: Video card: Radeon X700SE Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Open gl Vers: Erm.... what? Hope you can help cos even tho I work away from home, when I'm back at the weekends all I want to do is play this and now I can't even find 1.5.1 to re-install that in the meantime..... Thanks P.S. Tried that other thing you said to download (above) and the same thing happens....

That's a good idea (the double damage on peace day). There will be remotely triggered mines. While i would be totally cheesed if it happened to me, it hasn't so far so I think it's great (and quite funny) that someone(s) have used initiative and brains to find ways around "hinderances" that they find in the game. IMO anything that makes people think about how they play is a good thing and long may this type of thing continue. In short: mines rock, Ent rocks and the idea of remote mines is just pr0!!11! I have read a lot of these forums (even tho I don't post much) and WITHOUT WANTING TO OFFEND ANYONE I have to say: whatever Ent does, someone will bitch about it (see the man-eating-leopard post with harv'ers bitching etc) but hey - it is a GREAT AND COMTINUOUSLY DEVELOPING GAME! I just think that maybe it's a bit off to moan about 1 or 2 aspects of a game that many people work hard to make as great as it is (ok, Ent does most, but others help ). I'm just saying, maybe this isn't something to moan about and instead is just something to be viewed with admiration. Let's face it, with some of the players on here it's a blessing that there are still some on here that actually think about what they do P.S. - going on like this is why I rarely post

Prefer the old skin, tried the other 2 but couldn't get into them Everything seems to work for me, but nothing does for long so who knows what tomorrow may bring

Personally, I can't wait A load of new players MAY be exactly what's needed. Although, thousands on 1-2 days at once may cause a few problems that could put some decent people off of coming back.... Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be on IP that day when for miles around all you'll hear is "How do I..." "Where is..." "Gimmeh st00f..." "I need armour for free..." and, of course, the millions of un-asked-for trades followed by "Free <item> pls..." In general though, I do believe it'll be for the greater good of the game and look forward to meeting lots of happy new players Good luck to the IP-based mods that day and here's hoping that it is to the immense benefit of the game and everyone in it

Don't worry Lu - I'm sure you'll do very well! It'll be hard enough to be challenging but I'm sure you don't have to be massively tough to get through it - it's hide and seek Remember - tell your friends and the more people that come, the more fun we'll all have cos after all - competitions are all about the fun

Good luck with the guild - hope it all goes well. Really like the rank structure too

Still absolutely loving this story Paul - good job Especially liked the Dawench/toadstools bit Keep it up and keep the chapters coming

I do not really fight but I am really loving this idea I do not think it should respect MM cos what's the point? If everything is going to be avoidable with MM, where's the excitement / forethought / cooperation going to be? Nowhere probably.... Not that I'm saying it should be invincible. But as it is going to be a unique creature, I think it would add sooooo much to the game if it was a real beast - you know, made you look over your shoulder more Or maybe, just maybe, a small family of them - Mum, Dad and Junior. Slightly different attributes etc for Mum & Dad and a bit less for Junior. Sometime alone, sometimes pair & single, sometimes acting as a family unit but always on the same / directly adjoining map(s) so you REALLY look over your shoulder. You know, Mum & Dad in Idaloran and Junior in EVTR but then M&D come looking for Junior in EVTR The re-spawning timing..... I do NOT think it should come back after 20 hours. I think it should respawn at the next 03.30 following it's death. For a few reasons: 1) If it is killed 1min-19hrs before you log on again, you don't know when it'll be back, if at all while you're on; 2) Whether it is alive or dead, you know at 03.30 it's back and hunting ; 3) It would respawn between 6hrs and 1 min from death - could be better for hunting parties to kill it at 03.00 (cos they found it asleep for the day) then 30 mins later they're roaming around again looking for it; 4) It will make C2 more appealing to hunting parties and for guild activities as they know when to meet ("3.30 at PV store?" "Yeah - top idea. See you there.")and can arrange to have a lovely walk around C2; 5) The players less familar with C2 will learn more about it on their travels hunting and it'll become more populated as more people come to know the place(s). And for those who are moaning about getting caught unaware at storages, I'm sure it wouldn't take all that much for the next update to include 3-4 nice bright lamps at each storage as well as the new creature(s) Totally top idea and really excited
