Rename the perk to "level bonus" or some such name. Remove the NPC anti-social part. Set a minimum OA level at which you can take it. Leave the cost the same as it is now. Like most perks, it is removed on #reset. Finally, simply ignore any current players who have Anti without the required OA. Consider it a small side-effect of a staged implementation. It's just not worth the effort to patch those characters to make them comply. If they're #reset they'll be fixed.

I like this idea and suggested something similar in another thread: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57164&page=2&do=findComment&comment=567316

I recently had one of the computers I use a lot to play EL die. Its got counter files on it and I would like to recover that information. What I'd like to do is merge all those counts in with the counts for those chars on another computer I use. So I'm wondering, does a utility exists, or can one be written without too much difficulty that could take two counter files, add all the counts together and write it to a third file? I'm thinking of a simple DOS program that you'd run like: merge_counters input-file1 input-file2 output-file Thanks.

Oh poop, I missed the post that had the two utility pointers. :-( Thanks.

I already do that: sharing files between computers (and posted several times to that thread). But that doesn't help for files that AREN'T being shared via DropBox (or whatever), like the counter files in my case.

It's been several years, so I'd say they're pretty far down that list.

Dark asked me to verify the colors in this room. Right or wrong, I see the same thing pictured above: red, brighter-green, blue, darker-green. This is on a Win-7 system with Nvidia graphics.

There's a number of problems that would be nice to solve with a rehab. Release mods from having to be playground monitors * Remove all gear requirements (armor, weapons) * Remove all ranging requirements (box, arrow count) * Remove participation requirements (sit on your butt, no one cares) People just want to have fun * Remove all above requirements * Remove gatekeeper - put a gate/grate over the entrance you click on (like in Melinis) to keep the monsters out and the fort safe for re-entering * Invances are time-limit only (monsters can no longer enter fort) Provide skill-appropriate experience bonus based on active participation * A/D experience based on participation (not effectiveness), so a multiplier based on the number of times you hit or were hit up to a max of the current bonus. * Ranging experience based on the number of arrow hits up to some max that is similar to the a/d max. * Magic experience based on the number of "useful" spells cast (harm, poison, remote heal, heal summon, etc) up to some max that is similar to the a/d max. Removing the requirements frees up the mods and allows anyone to participate in a way and investment they are comfortable with. Changing the bonus formula allows those who participate, and use better gear, to gain more experience that those who don't. Using better armor/weapons means you die less (you don't get exp waking back to the invance). Using better bows/arrows means you hit more (you don't get exp for missing). And of course better gear means you have better odds of finishing the invance (no exp if you don't finish). Skill-appropriate experience means more people will want to play because they can get experience in the skill they are interested in, which may NOT be a/d.

Just for reference, levels 1-100 is 43.7M experience. It will take another 72.3M exp to get from 100-120 (116M total). So what you already did, plus another 60% more. Just so everyone understands how much additional work it'll be to re-cap. :-)

The list of improvements and fixes is impressive. We definitely need an update.

This is a nice idea, and consistent with the idea of a "teleport" device.

Could we keep the change of instant reading, but add the faster reading? Then if you fail, you have a chance to try again as you won't waste the entire day on that one book.

I'm be interested in seeing it (no promise I'll get all the way through it).

Requirements: Herbalist rank 3 Miner rank 3 Mother Nature hates me rank 3 50 Xaquelina Missions (if the above is viewed as not enough, add:) Lucky Finder rank 3 Prerequisite: Harvest level 100 Reward: No harvesting mini-events (no change to regular harvesting events) Optional (as radu sees fit): It could nullify the penalty of Dedicated Harvester, or exclude that perk (making Old-School mutually exclusive with Dedicated (one or the other, not both)). Comments: I suspect there aren't a lot of gc farmers at the level of harvest 100, so there's little need for them to be burdened with mini-events. The lack of mini-events is also one of the best things about the PK server (and not the reason for it's demise). And if you like the gc/exp of mini-events, don't get the perk. (Personally, I think a gradual reduction in mini-events should simply be a benefit for reaching harvest 100 and above since there are few (if any) other advantages for such levels. But that would be a different discussion.)

But that sets the bar too high for "normal" people. Do you really think there are that many harvesting alts with harvest level 100+ for this to be a problem? What about harvest 110? 120? There's some appropriate harvest skill specific threshold that could be set that would provide reasonable assurance only real players achieved the perk without making it so difficult that virtually no one could reach it.

Last night I was prompted to do a normal update on Ubuntu and today EL crashes at startup before it even gets to the signin screen. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTSl It looks like the kernel version is: linux-headers-2.6.32-49-generic (2.6.32-49.111) According to the package logfile, the last updates were: Start-Date: 2013-07-15 20:15:13 Upgrade: python-libxml2 (2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.8, 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.9), libxml2 (2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.8, 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.9), libxml2-utils (2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.8, 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.9) End-Date: 2013-07-15 20:15:29 I'm going to try rebooting to the previous kernel version next. Anyone have any ideas what is going on or what I can do to fix it?

I just posted this same problem: http://www.eternal-l...showtopic=58642 So do I need to follow steps 1-7 above to fix this, or do you think a fix will get pushed out soon (ignore it until it goes away)? Or, does this imply a fixed version of EL is coming soon:

I've installed them and am looking around (just through normal usage). They do look really nice.

Seconded.

Agreed. Done (if I configured it correctly) on 2 bots.

KF on the PK server is a drop map. Either way, it still needs to be fixed.

The following is public knowledge (stated in-game on @6), but as many things stated in-game it's not documented anywhere so if you don't happen to be listening at the time you miss it. So I'm documenting it for all the loyal harvesters out there. First chatter on @6 indicated that Radu had made a comment about a relationship between one's harvest level and the events they receive. FeaRM was nice enough to find it in his chat log: While I was waiting for the above, Radu showed up in channel so I asked him (noteworthy parts in bold): No comments were made about how much the rate is reduced (I don't expect it's very much), but this proves there is a relationship. So, there ya have it. Documented for future generations.

I'd like to see three level of achievement like most other things have. Say for 50%, 75% and max mule levels. And I really like the eye icon idea too so you have some clue about your status and next level.

Harvesting in VotD (on the PK server) and a teleport nexus put me in a nearby tree. Yea, it was a nice view, thanks for asking. g

I got one. Ping me in-game.
