Lol, I couldnt get back on again. I did a ping and it timed out... I will check general chat. Glad you are back on, giggles.

The server is back for me, as you can see I went through the same thing, but its back up now. Or perhaps its up and down. Maybe doing some server task/updates.

Wow server was down for a long time, at least I think so. My log file shows dissconnect at 22 after the hour, and I finally got back on at 10 to the hour. Perhaps it was back before that, but I was checking the forums for update, or help? I lost a big bag of stuff. I also noticed in the files an error file, a test file. It said it has downloaded a new file, 3 times, and then it said it finished downloading, then said it failed. Actually there are 3 or 4 errors: 08:47:55] Error: Server profile not found in servers.lst for server: Lands\el.exe". Failover to server: main.

Let him stand where he is now, but be able to pk like leo. If you havent been to him for a while and he has forgotten you, then you know to go empty, let him kill you and come back and harvest and stor again. It would be fun for a little while. I use that sto all the time, its a nice place. If he was in a pk spot, I doubt I would use that map anymore for haresting/mixing.

Yes, it is tuff for players that are trusting and dont bj. I died in an invasion, and my bag was saved. It was just junk stuff, no loss. I said thanks and went back, and low and behold rayla was sitting it. When he saw me he poofed the bag and wouldnt give it to me. I pm'd the person who said they had saved it for me, and asked if it was a joke. They replied, that rayla came up to them and said he was my best pal, and would watch it for me. So they gave it to him. LOL. Lots of tricks in the rayla bag. That was a good one. I didnt loose anything, but i was still angry. Its not luring, or bag jumping, its just plain lying. Lol. Someone said the community decides. I feel that if you can tele over the line to the resources, then thats ok. It is a game after all. Need to carry those ess with you. I think blocking resoursces is when you cannot get through a door, or once someone went afk on the spot to get into the titanium mine. The mod came and tried to get in from each feasable spot and couldnt so moved the afk player. But inside a cave? you would ask a mod to come and move a player, because another player wanted to stand in that spot and har the resource? So, if you are har the resource is that the same as blocking it? Must you give up your spot to let someone out who is closed in? Perhaps losing that spot to another harvester? First there first serve. Should you be able to use tele to jump out? So you may not har in a tight spot if your magic isnt high enough to tele out? Always carry a ring? It is a game. When mother tele me to the top of a hill with no way down a couple weeks ago, should i have called a mod for help to get me down? Mother blocked my way to everything. I thought it was so funny, didnt even know i could be up there. I didnt have any tele ess, nor a ring to jump, but i did call a mate to come rescue me, lol. Its a game. Perhaps in this game we should all be bj's? Can you imagine? wow, we'd never get anything done by oursleves. wait, that might be fun too.

I notice when changing maps, if i click on the mini map, nothing happens. i have to click ahead of the character to get it started. Then i can click the mini, but it the character still doesnt go all the way and stops short about 6 to ten paces. It also seems to take more time then before to calculate the autowalk path? I have tried it on the test server to see if it does the same thing. Ill try that tom.

I noticed the giants tag is a mile above his head, lol. Not really a mile but very high up and hard to find it. I dont remember it being like that before. Hope it helps.

My character has long blonde hair. With the excavator cape on there is an inverted V from the cape through the bottom of the hair that appears with each step. Hope that helps. FEMALE ELF

Interesting. I think it would hurt the new players and playes that have limited time to play el; and the ones with more gc/emu/time would gain an advantage, much like RL is. But, may get people to har other places that they avoid for one reason or another. Get more exploring in. I love the idea of seasons, but would require a lot of new maps and textures. Perhaps it could be implemented only where the favorite har places are? Or the major maps? or just one on each continent? Still a lot a work just for that though. I would rather the invasion and resources remain separate, but having a mine closed would work also. But some bots would be negatively affected then?

Sorry, I didnt want to post this on test as it was the regular gave server. I had 3 channels open, closed two, invasion and another, then poked the Options button and crashed. Perhaps that will help.

I would like to use my bot as a bucket to hold supplies, etc as a storage bot does, but not at storage. Is this permitted? She may also trade with other players as well for gc. However, her usefulness would be as a bucket.

As far as I remember storage bots are allowed to stay ONLY close to storages. They're not allowed to level up, carry resources, etc. They were introduced to help guilds with their projects (i.e. guild storage characters has been legalised as storage bots). Yes I read about the storage bots here in the forum. But there are bots in el, that are not trade bots and are not close to any storage. One that I know of just off the top of my head is 'Speaker'. But I dont know anything about it actually. It just tells you its not a trade bot. I would guess that if the bot isnt used as a mule, nor a storage bot, then it would just be called a merchant bot. But as such, would not have to sell anything, or could sell some items. But you could still use it to hold inventory. I know Radu isnt about right now so this might have to wait till he can clarify it.

Wow just want to take a moment and thank all for donating so many great prizes and a big thanks to those hiding them... I want to hide some too! I think that might be more fun then finding them.

Aisllin: Ty for the clafication. I came to that same opinion after reading : http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13063 I think a bot posting in the market channel for buying/selling and a url to the guild for more details wouldnt be a benefit for the whole community. So it wouldnt be free. I like the idea of a bot page on site. That would be helpful as the only one there is Lerners bot page (I think). I love bots, smile.

Nividia geforce 6600 Tonight when i entered a cave on c2 my screen went black. I tried suicide and still black screen. installed the last install, and now the screen is a dull purple. all windows open etc. Just no environment. Im afraid to delete all and loose my character. I searched the bugs here and didnt find this, however I know this happened a couple weeks ago to some one else, and had hoped the answer would be here. I can use the test server client and everything is fine... Perhaps that will help? thanks, anxious to get back to play.

Oh yes i agree, no moving reflections of the water by the boats etc and cannot clicking to turn to 1 has no effect. Eowi: I read through the thread too, and did see someone else had similar challenge, but i didnt see a reply for it? Perhaps the answer for most of the crashes and any image flaws like in your picture is the same. Hopefully turning the moon off will work.

I'm not having any challenges with the client except the mini map. I hope there will be a choice of the old one or this new round thing. I dont care for the new one. For my use it is obsolete, as i use it to walk across a map, not just one tiny section of it. This just means more clicking to get someplace imho. And i use the little one to help because of carple tunnel.... Zoom out does not give a full view, and having the map turn when i turn, makes me dizzy. It also seems to be slower? Im not sure how to explain that really. So please do we have a choice?

Alt f didnt do anything, except add a bunch of ffff to the screen, and changing the camera per didnt do anything... However, deleting the config, did the trick! Much easier then what i went through last night. Perhaps we could get that stickied for a bit until its fixed? And if there is a bug log for the wonderful mods of el to read, maybe post it there too? Thanks again

Well what i did was make a copy of the docs file, then uninstall, and install again. Then set view to 800x600 and i was invisible, shut down and restarted and im fine. I did to a little test and put the dup docs file back in and was back to the colored scree. so i will go ahead and move the dup back in again, and then try the steps above just to check that out? Be back in a bit.... Oh, and thanks for your help

Regarding PAWN, hmm, I hadnt heard of it before thanks for the info. And while reading your post, I had a vision of just standing there, har a rose or something next to a tree, and the tree moved, frightening me, lol. Maybe it took a big breath or yawned? Laughing. Perhaps the client side animations is something that may be turned on and off one day. And perhaps they could just pass a local message saying 'rayna just jumped because her tree yawned'. Smile, or not.

Id love to see the current art reworked, here and there? Could you please raise my knees a little in the front? smile. That being said, eye candy is fun, but requires larger downloads. However, I would love to have a simple change of clothes, similar to the default set but different color/texture? A set I can afford? And I once thought it would be fun to come into game and discover my hair/beard had grown (a random coded event from Mother Nature). Then you may go to a haircut shop and get cut/shave from the default images again. I think it would be funny to be mining and poof, you would have some new funny hair all over your head, down to the ground, in your face. Just a good laugh for everyone! I think it would be nice to see some of the 'lighter feeling' 'brighter' buildings on c1. Perhaps replacing the buildings on IP first where the new players first view is? But then again, I am a girl. We wouldn't want to chase men away from the game because they landed there and thought it was too sweet, or whatever. A few new creatures would be nice, but we do have a lot now. However when training I seem to get stuck working on just one creature for a long time, and it would be a nice change to have a few, either at the same level or between the levels. If you follow me? Adding more animated items is nice however, it can cause lag. I have dial up and get so much lag when I am near water fountains, that I try to stay clear of them if I can. Sometimes, there is no choice, but its difficult when your fps is down to 1 to get someplace. smile. Sorry to be so long winded, just trying to give some ideas about what you said in your post.

Oh duh! ty vy much.

lol, well i didnt know about test 3 until i tried to post in test 2, and then went looking for a place to post my comment. So i guess I cant install a diff texture to use? one that doesnt have the clouds in rows like that? heck oh dear. I noticed that it got dark at about 3:28, 29 and then it got much brighter at 3:30, like it was daylight again? I noticed that the horizon looks very thick or solid white. My lag is a little better after restarting machine i had never lagged down so low i couldnt walk, now fps is about 38 so thats grand. there is a chance it created a new folder in the EL folder so the .exe is sitting all by itself in that folder. Drag it out to the topmost El folder where the other .exe are and then click it and it will run for you.

I installed test 2, and ran it wow oh wow! Is there a way to change the cload texture? it looks a little too uniform. And i have to say, im afraid i will fall off the island! smile Very nice job to everyone for all thier hard work and devotion. I am downloading test 3 now. Can hardly wait.... yipes, have 3 installed and the lag is so bad i can barely walk to anyplace...but after testing without sky I am having the same exp. I dont know why I have never lagged this badly before....
