I'm having trouble also - not only with EL so I'm thinking it's a network issue somewhere. I can't get my bot to connect to EL either on the main server or on the test server. (I can't use this comp for the EL client until I update my linux distro and can't try on my laptop which died yesterday). I can ping game.eternal-lands.com but get 40% packet loss. I can't get the players online page at all. Some websites including http://slashdot.org/ don't work for me either although many others are working fine. I'm using Comcast in New Jersey so I'm blaming Comcast - hard to tell since traceroute sometimes returns results and sometimes it doesn't.

I found a walk-through boulder in white stone - Elavro Mountains [432,697]. [fixed]

Some firepits may not be correctly configured for lighting - I tried two in Tarsengaard and they did not work for me. The campfire near "beam" on IP should work. The one in southeast VOTD works for me also as does the one in northwest DP. At the ones that work, my "use with" cursor has a copy of the log image from inventory attached to it. I could (and you should be able to) click on the firewood in the firepit and get a message ilke "You put some logs on the fire." Then grabbing a fire essence with the "use with" cursor should let you light the fire. What firepits have you tried?

Poison duration depends on how you got poisoned. The poison spell causes different poison durations depending on spellcaster's level and rationality and the rationality of the guy being poisoned. Also, poisons are cumulative so additional poisonings add on to your poison duration.

RC 11 has been working well for me. However I left a character afk in Nordcarn storage. When I came back I had 12 lines of "Could not add special effect. Increase NUMBER_OF_SPECIAL_EFFECTS." I have no idea what happened to trigger that - I was just surprised to see a screen full of purple messages.

I thought the Naralik phantom warrior moved to another map awhile ago.

I was having no problems with RC10 until yesterday I tried to harvest some red roses in Palon Vertas near 175,140. I found that I had to hunt around to find a harvestable pixel for them. If I switch to the eyeball cursor, I mostly get "you see a dirt mound" as if the flower wasn't there at all. I tried RC9 and still had the problem. Switching to EL.EXE I had no problem clicking those roses anywhere. I guess this is the same problem as Cissysauce has.

I don't know the exact answer but I do know that magic is affected by the rationality of the targetted player. It would also be affected by magic resistance. Some creatures may have higher rationalities or have magic resistance or both.

I was not gruing when the others were earlier but I grued a few minutes ago - both my RC7 client on Vista and my bot code running on a linux box grued so I don't think the client is a factor. The traceroute showed a problem in above.net.

I was having no problems when others were reporting Grues but I just grued - traceroute looked like this: traceroute to game.eternal-lands.com (62.93.225.47), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 po-80-ar01.eatontown.nj.panjde.comcast.net (68.86.210.153) 11.188 ms 10.431 ms 9.976 ms 4 po-90-ar01.verona.nj.panjde.comcast.net (68.86.208.9) 14.483 ms 13.462 ms 14.353 ms 5 pos-0-6-0-0-crs01.plainfield.nj.panjde.comcast.net (68.86.90.30) 18.847 ms 14.967 ms 14.230 ms 6 COMCAST-IP.edge1.NewYork2.Level3.net (4.71.186.14) 15.970 ms 16.087 ms 17.600 ms 7 xe-11-1-0.edge1.NewYork2.Level3.net (4.71.186.13) 15.602 ms 15.592 ms 24.092 ms 8 vlan79.csw2.NewYork1.Level3.net (4.68.16.126) 27.341 ms 14.967 ms vlan69.csw1.NewYork1.Level3.net (4.68.16.62) 20.225 ms 9 ae-73-73.ebr3.NewYork1.Level3.net (4.69.134.101) 26.081 ms ae-64-64.ebr4.NewYork1.Level3.net (4.69.134.113) 14.971 ms ae-83-83.ebr3.NewYork1.Level3.net (4.69.134.105) 17.097 ms 10 ae-3.ebr4.Washington1.Level3.net (4.69.132.93) 28.464 ms 30.328 ms 23.591 ms 11 ae-74-74.csw2.Washington1.Level3.net (4.69.134.182) 29.467 ms 20.336 ms 19.224 ms 12 ae-2-79.edge2.Washington3.Level3.net (4.68.17.76) 19.598 ms 20.091 ms 20.844 ms 13 abovenet-level3-oc48.Washington1.Level3.net (4.68.127.50) 20.848 ms 21.463 ms 29.463 ms 14 so-4-0-0.mpr1.iad2.us.above.net (64.125.30.118) 35.225 ms 19.966 ms 31.210 ms 15 so-4-0-0.mpr2.iad1.us.above.net (64.125.29.133) 21.974 ms 20.462 ms 22.099 ms 16 so-2-0-0.mpr2.dca2.us.above.net (64.125.28.129) 29.339 ms 23.585 ms 21.724 ms 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 te1-4.er2b.cdg2.fr.above.net (64.125.23.33) 101.804 ms ge5-1.er2b.cdg2.fr.above.net (64.125.23.81) 103.741 ms te1-4.er2b.cdg2.fr.above.net (64.125.23.33) 103.008 ms 20 game.eternal-lands.com (62.93.225.47) 102.763 ms 105.630 ms 105.397 ms Line 19 appeared at the same time I saw connectivity return.

I like the minimap a lot. I have a few usability suggestions for it. Is it feasible to remove dead actors from the minimap? The minimap can get crowded sometimes and it seems likely that anyone using the minimap is only interested in seeing dots for something they might want to attack or for something they might want to avoid. It could of course be toggleable if someone really wants to see dead bodies. I would like to see an option to reset a map to it's original unviewed state. This would enable you to perform a map search and have the minimap show you where you've been. On some maps the contrast between the dots and the map is too low and the dots are hard to notice. Maybe an option to grey-tint the map pixels (perhaps 25% color reduction or something) would make the dots stand out more. That might work better than my other suggestion which would be an option to add a 1 pixel black border to each actor dot.

On Joule day I had been making whatever I had ingredients for - emphasizing stuff that takes an insane amount of food like crafting (polishing gems and making teleport rings). I now have about 6 hours worth of ingredients stocked up for low-end items that I need in huge amounts . . . hoping for a joule day soon that I can be online for. On exp bonus day I do try to focus on high exp items but if I'm close to a level in one skill I'll look for items in that skill first. I've tried that idea for day of recycling - making items that use ingredients that are annoying or expensive to make/buy but usually I don't have enough ingredients onhand to make many of them so I wind up saving ingredients on FE or whatever.

Video card: GeForce 8600M GS/PCI/SSE2 Vendor ID: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Version: 2.1.2 Driver Provider: NVIDIA Driver Date: 11/7/2007 Driver Version: 7.15.11.6743 Seemed to work pretty well with original RC and so far no trouble with RC 6. BTW this is Vista - I have to update my linux distro to run EL on the linux box. Edit: this device driver still has bugs though: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered (nvlddmkm). This was happening with the regular client also.

If you have 1 fps and non-responsiveness you probably are not using hardware 3d acceleration. You probably need to install/yupdate your video drivers. What video card do you have? and what operating system are you running?

Actually when I tried it in-game, I could make a black scarf without the scissor but I needed the scissor for the red one.

I just walked through a tree in EVTR at 28,177. I also see some spots where rock faces changed exposing a black area on the ground: 191,96 251,120 295,112 300,113 322,84 There is a flickering area in the stone road at 319,347 and another at 307,327

I logged into the new forums using http://new.eternal-lands.com/forum/ - when I go into a forum category such as "General Chat" and click the Forum Options button nothing happens. This is under both Mozilla on Linux and IE under Vista. I suspect this is just something that was missed when configuring the new forums.

Turning on the javascript console, I see this message: Error: menu_register is not defined Source File: http://new.eternal-lands.com/forum/style_images/eternallands/folder_js_skin/ips_menu_html.js Line: 98 That message did not appear when I used the IP Board Pro skin. The mesasge I get using the IPB 2.2.0 Default skin is: Error: menu_register is not defined Source File: http://new.eternal-lands.com/forum/style_images/eternallands/folder_js_skin/ips_menu_html.js Line: 98 .

Of the 4 skin choices, only the IP Board Pro skin has a working Forum Options button. The other 3 choices do not work for me.

I suspect it is best to not edit the quest log while EL is running.

DOS shell might be called "command prompt" - on my copy of Vista it's under Accessories. EL runs pretty well for me under Vista - too bad Vista runs so badly on my machine and the video drivers crash frequently (have stopped responding and have recovered or something like that).

The no-fail harvest rates are different for different items. You get the low end flowers once per second. Sulfur, quartz, fruits, coal, iron ore, etc are once every 2 seconds. I measured 3 seconds for a bunch of plants including mugwort, valerian, dandelion, toadstool, and tulips - also emerald, sapphire, and gold ore. I got 4 seconds for ruby, titanium ore, diamond, and the higher level plants. I measured hydro ore and tin ore at 5 seconds. I got 6 seconds for some of the higher minerals and ores. I measured Cinnabar at 7 seconds and dung at 9 seconds but those numbers may include some fails I guess.

I just paypal'ed a payment for Salt. I don't remember when she first started but it was before you added annual fees.

The signpost on the ship in Idaloran near 160,246 takes you to the middle of the Melinis docks instead of the gangplank like most of the other ships.

The signpost on the ship in Hurquin near 127,101 takes you to the middle of the Melinis docks instead of near the ship's gangplank.
