The bot sticky says bots need to be developed on the test server. Is there a way for someone to do that anymore then?

Well obviously. Anybody can say this and everybody does. The problem is HOW. If it were this simple, it would be done already. Lets break down why running 20 instances of EL would give you an advantage. The only thing i can put my finger on is harvesting is essentially a bunch of waiting and very little clicking. Having 20 clients open would not help mix things any faster. It defiantly would not be practical for training combat on multiple clients. Sure you could have a mule haul you supplies to a spawn but a guildie could just as easily do the same thing. I believe there is a report feature if this troubles you that much. So the logical choice is eliminate the harvesting skill. Make players buy all their raw materials from NPC contractors. That would add the money sink that people think is missing, and make multiplying impractical.

Video card: GeForce 6600/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! Vendor ID: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Version: 2.1.2 updated to nvidia drivers for XP: 169.21 old drivers were for XP: 78.01

That would put those with multiple PCs in favor and because the EL client is OpenSource everbody could modify the source to skip the check for an already running client. Isn't there a rule about modifying your client? What fraction of the users compile the cvs client anyway? I'm pretty sure it isn't "every body" Also, last I checked most universities have a huge bank of IP addresses. You usually get a new IP when you plug a new computer into the wall. So by that logic everyone at a .edu address has an unfair advantage. So a brother, husband or roommate would have to pay to be able to play. I haven't heard of an ISP that wouldn't give you a second IP address if you were willing to pay for it. Why not funnel that money into the game? Personally I do not have any alts, and I'm not suggesting that we should rescind the rule on muling. But i think there should be a way for 2 people to play from the same household without having to get multiple IP addresses. God knows the silver mine near the Glamor storage couldn't handle having 2-3 extra alts for every primary in it. Besides, if i wanted to play an RTS playing EL with 20 alts would not be my first choice.

No game is worth playing if it isn't fun either. What percentage of players (with minimal armor on) can take 1-2 hits from a dragon and live? For the people that get smoked in one hit, this will not be fun. How many new players will this added "feature" attract? As for the afk bit, there is no way people are 100% attentive to the game when they are harvesting. Most of the time I harvest I'm surfing the internet, using another program, cleaning the office, or i have full screen chat open. Forcing people to be glued to the screen while you harvest is not a positive for me. If I wanted to be playing a game that needed 100% of my attention I'd be playing an online first person shooter. If you make the argument that it will only be a very rare event, why even waste developers resources on it? I'd rather see developer's time and energy going to something more people can enjoy and benefit from. Just my opinion.

Someone is always going to abuse things, but I don't like the fact that if your brother, sister, wife, husband, or room mate play you can't trade with them. Why not limit it to only being able to open a single client on a PC or if you want to play another char on the same IP charge for that right?

So you are concerned that someone is going to get an advantage buying pick points at $100+ each? So for the low price of $9600 someone could max out their P/C if there were 96 stones on the market. What is the harm in that? You have a server that is paid for for a couple of months. If it is the argument that someone has more money than me...what if someone has more free time? Should we all be limited to a time quota? No more than 3 hrs per day? Personally I don't think the concern has much merit to. I'm sure the developers are smart enough to not flood the server with removal stones.

Glad you made the video. I liked the show. Would have been nice to see live, but it will give you something to shoot for next time.

Win XP Home nVidia GeForce 6600 series 78.01 Drivers (all 3 crash) 169.21 Drivers works fine. Water looks nice!! Have to run old select since i cant figure out how to open doors/talk to people w/ the all. Switching video resolutions in windowed mode breaks graphics.

I'm getting similar rendering problems with the patched binary in windows XP. I switched video resolutions a few times and it went away. The problem was coming from the set of columns and statues in narilik where you teleport into if you use a ring. It looked very similar to the above post where a texture was extended up into the sky at an angle.

Event was lots of fun. Had to miss the middle part for errands, but enjoyed the start and finish. Thanks!

I just saw the movie Predator the other night and it gave me an idea. Why not have an alien that comes to hunt people for sport. Since the alien is hunting for the challenge, it will only attack players with very high a/d or high end equipment...otherwise there would be no challenge for it. Since it is hunting for sport, it would take a trophy from its victims...eg the most valuable thing they have on them at the time and Rostos will do no good. Once it has filled its inventory it will beam out. True to the movie it will have very powerful and accurate ranged attacks. Since its technology is so advanced every time it hits an opponent 1 equipped item will be destroyed. Only players with very high perception 50+ will be able to see it. If anyone manages to kill it, they will have a very short time to clear the area before it self destructs. If they are caught in the blast they die of course and everything in their inventory is destroyed.

I'm trying to upgrade my eternal lands from the previous version. When I type in emerge eternal-lands i get the following error during the complie: gcc -march=k8 -pipe -O2 -DDATA_DIR=\"/usr/share/games/eternal-lands/\" -DX86_64 -DLINUX -DELC -DPNG_SCREENSHOT -DUSE_FRAMEBUFFER -DNEW_FRUSTUM -DBUG_FIX_3D_OBJECTS_MIN_MAX -DNEW_TEX -DOPTIONS_I18N -DATI_9200_FIX -DNETWORK_THREAD -DWIDGETS_FIX -DNEW_ACTOR_ANIMATION -DCOMMAND_BUFFER -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/libxml2 -c -o filter.o filter.c framebuffer.c: In function `print_fbo_errors': framebuffer.c:24: error: `GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT_EXT' undeclared (first use in this function) framebuffer.c:24: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once framebuffer.c:24: error: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [framebuffer.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

The Tutorial NPC reports the wrong coords for the Trader. Should be 302, 321. Also the map should be updated to reflect the new location as the trader circle is in the old place. Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this.
