  1. Sun Tzu stone

    Why not? The donations seem to be coming along nicely.What I was concerned about were the EDEs, since they can't be mixed on demand. However, it seems they've got those covered now
  2. Smurf for Mod!

    I'm not sure WolfWitch has 100 harvest yet. Impeach her plx!
  3. Bad day removal stone from shop, experimental

    I may be wrong, of course, but I believe it will change the 'bad' day to a 'normal' day. You will then need one of these new stones to change the normal day to a 'good' day if you so wish.
  4. New stones

    EDEs can not be made using enrichments and with the many mixtures needed - will take time to make - will the use of this be limited. I was talking about the stones for themselves, not the ones used to make enriched essies - See Radu's first post. In any case, I don't think anybody will use enrichments for EDE and ELE atm because of the low price and demand, even if you could make EDE this way.
  5. New stones

    I can see how this is intended to encourage teamwork, although I would think it will just be another money sink. This is fine with me, btw, and as a player, I would love it. However, from a RP perspective, it's not quite right, is it? I would have used the word 'realistic', but I'm sure some people would be only to quick to remind me that this is a game. IMO a 'bad' or normal day is part of the game. We should just learn to adjust our gameplay as required. If it's acid day I take my clothes off. I go harvest on peace day or go take pictures of the icy. On green day I go bash something or somebody However, if I want to go out and play in the park and it's raining, I don't have the option of paying God (the real God, not Ent!) to make the sun come out! I can pray and hope, but what else can I actually do? We can already 'buy' invasions, but IMO, what the day brings should be left to the likes of Aluwen and Mortos. I can see most of the bought days being Sun Tzu, which means that players will level a/d unnaturally fast, which brings it's own problems. I can imagine the more regular bickering over spawns What about the prices of the ritual items? Bindings and enrichments are stupid prices already! I think that there are two sides to every coin, and since it looks like this is going to happen anyway, I hope it will be reviewed after a few weeks and tweaked if required. EP
  6. SirJuan the man that never returns your gear

    So, you're adding 500gc to his bill, but it doesn't count as interest? Nice! You sound like my bank. Administrative charges of 25 GBP for sending you a second-class letter with a 28p stamp!
  7. New Ward

    The ability to dodge a bullet would depend on your reflexes, not your strength. It should be similar here IMO.
  8. Seconded. I would however prefer using the bz2 format, since it is a Linux standard, offers the same advantages and generally results in a smaller download.
  9. EL Urban Legends

    I think that can be argued to be statistically correct, especially if your level is not very high compared to the recommended lvl for the item you're mixing.
  10. NSIS Error

    if you tried twice already and still get a partial download, you might want to check that the drive you are downloading to is not full.
  11. CA$H somewhat hypocritical

    I rest my case.
  12. CA$H somewhat hypocritical

    Please...grow up.
  13. A fast Advanced Instance <3

    Instance mobs drop oranges?
  14. Harvest level and events

    Sorry, but I really don't get the math here. So, you're saying I will walk faster from storage without the cape?
  15. Alchemic

    That's part of the problem. People assume that they have the right to know when a perceived outlaw changes his name. How many times did Liquid/Eyafostu/Prophet/etc/etc change his name? How many times did we have to figure out who a 'new' char is just by observation? Name changes merely delay the inevitable. Don't forget that your buddies, guild, stats and most importantly, your personality, don't change when you namechange. Sooner or later, people - well, the smart ones anyway! - will figure out who you are. The ONLY way to instantly disconnect from an old char is to make a new one.
  16. Alchemic

    Do me a lemon, I'd sooner believe a growling rottweiler was just going to lick my hand than believe dear alchemidubro was really really sorry he was so successful at what he did. Seriously though, I have not got a problem with what he does to earn his gc. I dont personally like it but I learned a long time ago that I shouldnt judge how someone plays el and chooses to use the pk areas. I dont think he should get away with his choice of gameplay though, without some attempt to crimp his easy lifestyle, so am more than happy to support friends and allied bot owners on my trade network if they wish to ban him from trading. That's why his new name is banned as well. As for EP there, sorry mate but having ones new name announced if the intent was clearly to hide from ones own past misdeeds is bang out of order. It's exploiting the system by using $, and theres enough ways to do that without hiding behind a new name. Besides, technically he didnt waste his money, he still has the name he paid for, no? I dont think anything in the shop info mentions anonymity being a condition of sale, does it? That's just a curtesy of Radu that may or may not be adhered to as he sees fit. Alchemic, you profess to have teh balls lad, stand up and be proud of your ways, dont hide behind new names, that's too close to feeling guilty about it all, which we all KNOW aint the case. Your game morals just arent built that way, I should know, I am the exact opposite end of the game-spectrum to you. El needs its bad guys, if you wish to be one then sod everyone including me who wants to pk you for it. I dont respect, admire or even like your way of playing but I would fight to defend your right to play it as you wish, providing it doesnt break game rules. But don't expect me to believe this "turning over a new leaf" malarky, it just doesn't wash when you've got a storage full of ill gotten gains, lad. Having said all this, trade networks and diplomacy come first, and it is there that my support will continue, so the trade ban stands. However, I do not condone or support any action that is downright harrassment in nature, even if I am sometimes amused by it occuring. Sorry Pye, but your analogy is weak. The situation you described is pretty close to money laundering, and is a heavily punished crime in most civilised countries. By contrast, what Alchemic did is not a recognised crime in Draia, no matter how outlawish you may consider it to be. I would not condone such in my guild, as you know, but that's beside the point! Yes, he is (was?) trying to hide behind a namechange, but please note my use of words in the former post. I would have no issue at all with this if it was announced by some regular player. I also think that announcing name changes is bad for business anyway, since it will discourage people from changing their names - if the purpose of the namechange is to obtain a new identity. As far as I'm concerned, namechange or not, a leopard is a leopard, and is still dangerous even if you call it 'Rose'! Alchemic - or shall we say Dubro - needs an attitude change, not just a namechange.
  17. Alchemic

    With all due respect, I don't think authority figures should be announcing name changes on ch6. Ok, Alchemeic's behaviour was despicable, but he broke no rules and has effectively wasted time/money changing his name. Just my €0.02
  18. Why is it...

    I agree with you on this one, but sadly, not all denizens of Draia - or of the net as a whole - are so mature. Are you kidding? Have you seen the post she's here crying about? have a look: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53475 The contents of that post seem to have been deleted before my post, so I don't know what it was about.In any case, I was merely agreeing with the portion of the post I quoted as a general statement, regardless of the context.
  19. Why is it...

    This is an unfortunate feature of the Internet, I'm afraid. Anonymity provides people an opportunity to say things they would never say in 'public' I agree with you on this one, but sadly, not all denizens of Draia - or of the net as a whole - are so mature. See this post, for example

  21. EL Urban Legends

    You mean it's not true?? I'm pretty sure I head about Bone special hit being mirrored though...
  22. At the risk of starting a gender war :P

    Nathan you're so right there. Part of the problem for me is that I have a problem with my left hand that make doing the dishes very painful, and our kitchen is too small to install a dishwasher. My wife knows this and doesn't mind, but I still make an effort to do it when I know she's got a lot to do. Having said that, there's lots to do that I can handle, so I do those. What works for me is simply to ask, and I'll help even when I don't feel like it. What doesn't work is to demand I do something because you had a hard day. Well, maybe I had a hard day too? That's why I like nathan's comments. Do it together, and I don't mean just that! Talk about things. It really does help. It's amazing what you can achieve by saying 'please' and 'thank you' It's all about relationship, not rights.
  23. the ugliest shitty mess I ever saw

    This is epic! I only managed to find 10 spelling errors, not counting punctuation and grammatical errors Offering 10 gc to anyone who can beat that Oh, sorry. I finally read the post and found that you quit, so, bye
  24. EL Urban Legends

    Ah, ok. I think I misunderstood that. You meant trying to fool teh server into thinking you took the perk by wearing the cape. Now that would be a bug, which I'm sure at least one person has tried to exploit, and which Ent would surely have picked up on soon after the stones came out.
  25. EL Urban Legends

    Aw, come on! You made that one up! How did you know that, since you can't wear FR if you has FR perk already!
