    Today the pear was in the Token Map insides/Outhouse portals Map

    I harvested everything that could be harvested but did not find a pear. 

    There are severals fruits and flowers inside the buildings, such as:

    You are in  Token Map - New Beginnings Tavern [22,30]  {fruit}

     

    Please remove this map from the list of pear maps, since a lot of the 'harvestables' are actually unharvestable.

    Yes there is a difference between EL char, EL forum (which you both have mastered) and WIKI and WIKI forum, the latter two have each their own username and password registration. I am admin on both, but wiki is currently a total mess.

    For the wiki forum, see the link on the wiki homepage for a workaround by burn. I do not know if this will allow you to register. Issues with new forum accounts might also be caused by the same php update that totally messed up the wiki. Some of the admin functions still work, though.

    Please let me know what your username on the wiki is. I normally get an email if registration in the forum needs confirmation, but have not received such an email since March 2020, when things went bonkers.

    Forget about those Wiki pages: it's not an official EL site, and the only person that has the

    required access rights seems unable or unwilling to correct the problem

     

    The wiki is the one and only wiki. The wiki owner (ermabwed) and admins (me and burn) only have acces to the wiki content side of things, and the issue is caused by a server update a long time ago, which can only be resolved by a server admin, who has been totally unresponsive in spite of many attempts to correct the problem. 

    Burn has provided some workarounds for the wiki and associated forum pages, and the wiki content is still maintained and accessible. If you want to contribute to the wiki content (e.g. after the upcoming update), then feel free to make a wiki account and ask for edit rights.I hope that we can fix the wiki by moving it to another server, but so far I havent had the time to do this.

    And only after that it might be interesting for us to setup a custom server for ourselves, for the learning experience.

    Since the server code is not open source, this is not really possible.

    KF proposed changes:

     

    • Adding cooldown to summoning stones  (15-20 seconds per stone)    Current CD on stones is 3 seconds (((up to 18 summons in 27 seconds) *RIDICULOUS*  )) IF it is easier to just eliminate the stones in KF - fine    (This would eliminate the zoo, and also the unfair amount of gc being spent when lower levels fight upper levels.  a 130s a/d character typically cannot afford to blow 100k worth of summoning stones in a fight like the pros) This will also open up the window for lower levels to be able to range without being flooded with a zoo (Annoying for players like me) but hell of a good time for the lower players just trying to kill :-)
    • Eliminating all skill/attribute caps  eliminate the map cap
    • Eliminate cooldown on srs/emps or ELIMINATE BEAVER TOKENS IN PK Eliminate cooldown for ATLEAST SRs/EMPs     Lets face it, fighting against someone carrying several beaver tokens is unfair to the lower levels who struggle for enough gc. The biggest expense in pk should be HE/SRs (To keep it fun for everyone)
    • **CREATING A SAFE AREA FOR SPECTATORS**   Just by adding a small square inside map for spectators to watch and wait could be beneficial to pking. there is several people who never thought they would enjoy pk because they were never given the chance to watch without risking death/rostos.     Arenas are fun, but they are not nearly as fun as guild warfare - anyone can tell you this.     Allowing a safe square would give people opportunity to (unfortunately) "cheap shot" BUT that is a fun risk that I think we all can agree on.    With this safe area, I believe it is a 'must' to not allow magic inside the square, this would eliminate pre casting offensive spells.   KF already had a radiation damage at the flag, I don't think it is too powerful for a spectator to maintain - keep it.  They will either have to leave map or exit square to heal.     
    • The spectating area will allow a lot more opportunities for the map, PK contests ETC, however the safe area is designed, I feel it should be rather large and able to hold several people in this case.
    • Mines/wards Expensive, but truly a factor of the game now, Allow them, to their full power, 1s cooldown is sufficient. Wards will be much less fatal with the summoning stone's nerfed.
    • Natural summons They have been put on the back burner long enough, I'd like to see more of the skill being put to use, the skill is broken when you can create an armed orc summ stone cheaper than naturally summoning the creature.  (maybe future update to formulas will make this skill a better asset to pk)

     

     

    Regardless, PK should be fun for all, doing this to the map WILL allow lower levels a chance, especially if cooldown is removed for mana use.     No reason a little guy should be worrying about going in and getting a 100 stones used on them, completely draining their mana, while the 'wealthier' players are able to buy all the tokens and use them during a fight.    PK should be a FUN part of the game, not one where you have to take a mortgage out on your fight.  I have spoken with even the elite list of pkers also a ton of non elite future pkers.   this seems to work best, challenging the strong, creating potential for the training.            

    • Below is the proposed KF map safe area, (Not to size, but we will leave that up to Burn man and Radu)

    Just a quick note with respect to the proposed safe area. 

    In the past we have had 'Capture the flag' type of events, using Fort Garisn and Fort Baarq as home basis. Fort Mardyn gives a good vantage point for such events and is reachable from the SKF entrance in about 10 seconds. There is food there, also nice for long events, similar to most of the arena stands. It is already clearly marked off. It could easily (?) be made non-magic and non-pk. It probably also needs to have no-summoning, but that could also be achieved by adding a gate to the entrance. Maybe the portal entry point could then also be moved there, making it an easy place to enter the map for spectators. 

    I have no opinion on the other changes mentioned here, the only time I ever participated in pk was during such events.

    If you were in a guild, that might help figure out the char's name, since someone in that guild can list all chars and maybe that will jog your memory. 

    I assume you no longer have access to the computer(s) you once played on, otherwise your eternal lands documents directory would contain spell lists and other files associated with the character that include its name. These generally do get copied over to a new Windows system if you use the system migration feature. 

    I have chat log files going back to 2006, when I started playing, and can look for hints in there too, but I need a bit more information to go on.

    As posted by burn, this problem cannot be solved on the server side, due to lack of support. The workaround that burn posted is the only fix we have (for the wiki forum). The issue with the wiki itself is over a year old and nothing we can do about it. We (burn and me as site admin, via ermabwed as site owner) have reported it to the server admin (not an EL player), but he has chosen to ignore us
