Just to piggy back on this thread. I played about 5 years ago and was in EWOL (sweattea from memory and markusweck were guild leaders). I've returned to play again and continue my character. So I'm quite newbie again (still . You can look up my stats, game name slicedice. I'm in Australia (+9:30 gmt) so would be good if there's people on at the same time in the guild. Looking for a fairly active guild and to be part of guild events, ranks, learning more. Let me know on the thread or in game for suggestions. The problem I'm finding at the moment is that the larger more active guilds have skill level requirements above what I'm currently at.. but without the guidance of a guild it's slower learning the best ways to use points, which books to read, skills to train etc etc. I've come across some really helpful people in my return from R&R and Synd sofar, so that has been good But really looking forward to rejoining a guild, get's a bit lonely walking back and forth with sulphur dirtied hands Cheers, Slicedice

Sounds like your computer has issues with the game, I never had this problem. With this issue.. I think he's more referring to the issue of HEAPS of people crowding around a storage NPC and finding it hard to access him. Simple solution is to 'ZOOM' in your view when you have trouble seeing something, makes it about a billion times easier. (give or take a million).

Goodnight, I get the luxury of goin to sleep now and when I wake up EL will be there (hopefully .. Bad news is I've also got work in the morning so will only be a short logon. Ah well sweet dreams. -slicedice)\

Could it be that links are being restored? definitely getting a bit further now. Don't get too excited though, it could just mean a router is trying an alternate route and still failling

hahah that was pretty good

Benjamin.. its a _networking_ issue _external_ to EL. Ie. it's nothing to do with EL itself. Thousands of servers are probably affected. Also if the admins had any info at all, don't worry they would post it here. I'd just use this opportunity to catchup with the forums -slicedice)\

I understood the Humour Slice, but as they say it is a "global audience" I guess you say, so there could be youngsters here, ahhh to be young again, but thats another story, anyways atlest above.net seem to be doing something, I am progressively getting further trace's so hopefully not long now hehe Maybe123... By you mentioning "there could be youngsters here" I take it you thought I was replying to being told off for posting that joke about the pope? Those previous msgs were referring to my earlier msg/joke about being able to connect and having lost skills.. No one was offended by the pope joke Thanks for your support though heh. Hah yeah I'm still going to record a little video of my toilet flush for wessica -slicedice)\

That's fair enough. Trust me I know what you're talking about, it's happened to me a couple times over my past 13 odd years of mudding. Either way, I thought it was a fairly minor flippant joke. But I've taken note of the response and will adjust any further humour accordingly to fall in line with the EL audience. Hopefully atleast the other aussies reading this understood the humour. -Slicedice.

So if you see someone hit by a car, on the street, still alive, and when you see the ambulance coming you tell them: "Oh, he is just drunk, he is faking, go away", you think it's funny? Um no I administer emergency first aid until the ambulance gets there, then step back and let the ambo's take over. EL on the other hand is a game. I've already apologised, and you won't see me trying to be funny again in the future.

Did that happen to anyone else? You do realize that if this is BS you will get banned, right? No I didn't realise that. I posted it as a joke because everyone was just being funny and posting jokes. My apologies, I really did not realise it would offend anyone. Feel free to delete the post if you think it will cause any distruption. To set the record straight.. I can't connect either just like everyone else.. thought people would see through my sarcasm/joke. -slicedice.

It's weird though, I've lost like 20-30 skill points on each skill.. Did that happen to anyone else?

Excellent.. I'm connected.

weird...
