So....um...which colour is thermal and which one is magic??

Kk...thnx Cicero *hugs*

runs too slow gunslinger, but I think it looks good...I sat and watched while it was still on Poofology and I couldn't tell if it was doing anything or not, then it finally did... EDIT: Nevermind...guess it just took my computer a bit to digest it so it'll work..my bad

Hmm if you're still talking about rs there, I think you missed a minor progression in EL. Just tested it, pretty kewl...I haven't been around for a while, as you can see... Still, RS has the dots of other NPC's and players around you, which comes in handy...was able to keep away from the dark wizards and the demon ring when I didn't feel like being in a battle of some sort...

I don't hate RS....I like the variety of things you can do in it, the community sucks, but I played it to play a game, not for the people. I enjoyed fishing and mining and making things. The quests are great. 'Course, I played it when it was still the crappy graphics...One of the biggest things I still like about it is you can pull up the map, click on it and you can still walk to that point w/ out just trying to click a few blocks in front of you to get your butt somewhere... The few people on the game that tried to talk to me were always "will you be my girlfriend?" bleh...I just ignored the chat and did what I wanted on it...then, it's not so bad... EL, I stick with because of the friends I've made here...I enjoy the people here. The game is fun, but it lacks a lot in game play, just excessive clicking. It's finally building up though. The biggest appeal for me with EL is that it IS in beta...it's still new and there's no telling what new things will come about because of that. Being in a game while it's still growing has a lot of appeal that makes a person want to keep playing and growing with it. And there's a lot to be explored. If you're a new person, there's less of a chance for you to get lost playing EL, there's so many people to help you...I got lost pretty easy on RS, mainly because I didn't know what to do next, and people don't and won't help you out... EL also has beautiful graphics, I love the great jobs Roja has done on everything, it gives a lot to the game... Guess that's just my $.02..

*gives Sirdan a chill pill, plays some crap w/ ocean waves and burns incense* Calm....calm.... No need for yelling...

Any thoughts to possibly an underwater land??? I figure if so, it'd have to be a LONG ways down the line, but it might be kinda kewl...end up having mer-people as a race (but it'd be like Splash, they'd have to get on shore and their fins turn into legs)...but if other people want to visit the place underwater, they'd have to...er...buy scuba gear made from beaver hides LOL...or have a gnome race that can tinker and make some sort of rebreather...I know in Morrowind, there's spells to let you breathe underwater, and I have one of those lizard races that can breathe underwater, too.... Just thought it would be kinda kewl... What started this thought and original post is here: http://eternal-lands.com/phpBB2/viewtopic....ighlight=#36080

Oh, another thing...even if you can't make something to help you breathe underwater for the total time, maybe you can at least manufacture swimsuits to make the time it takes you to get to the underwater city or whatever in less time? And if you're trying to get there to sell something or buy something from vendors, maybe inside houses, there could be air pockets so you can re-fresh your breath...

Boki's my buddy, so of course I find him sexy Just love kissing him on top of his head when I see him in game

LMAO

Not to mention bows suck.... 'course, it depends on the game... But I play w/ Fletching and making bows and arrows in EQ a lot...I use a bow to pull a monster but it does crap for damage... I really think EL could do w/ out bows...

http://el.owns.it It's got spoilers in the Quest section, but at least you won't forget what you're trying to get done...

True, but like I said, sometimes you can accidentally click off of it...I've done it a number of times... 'Course, I've never been known to be graceful, either, IRL or online...hehe

I dont' like the idea of people being able to sit and fight at the same time, though...that's just kinda...stupid...(providing you're one of those people that sits and mines)...and a lot of people do accidently click elsewhere if they're doing something and move off of where they're mining/sitting....

Yeah, the monsters coming out of the walls might be an idea...though, I thought that was one of the reasons for putting rats in CC, so they'd attack people and keep them for macroing...'course, if you're high enough, they won't bug you or even damage you unless you just sit there...but when something attacks, you automatically start killing anyways... Problem with creatures coming out of the walls to fight you, if you're making bars right where you are and you have a bag on the ground, someone can steal what you have/had in the bag while you're busy fighting something...

Maybe not quite invisible...maybe something more like an illusion or just an illusion w/ your name...an alias you can use...one of the good reasons to have a 2nd character, too...but then you'd have to log back in w/ your own character to do something to that character that's creating problems... Though, it helps some, running around incognito via not having any armor and things...and when you're a newbie, you don't know all the people that are the bigwigs in the game so you're more likely to abuse things around people you don't know...

LMAO

Yeah, he added me to messenger and I told him go kill rabbits and sell the meat at the tavern...simple as that... And yeah...the begging does get seriously annoying. I'm always more like "Oooo, that's a kewl weapon, wonder what level I need to get/make that?" I can understand the people that get confused when it comes to quests, if you started doing something a week ago and go back to it to finish it, and the NPC won't re-tell you what you need to know...that's understandable...but people that just out right won't do something themselves seriously grates on my nerves...

Go to http://el.owns.it Check out the Buying/Selling page and you'll see how much it costs from Blacksmiths...

There is no basic armor and basic weapons given to you...you either buy them or make them...simple as that... I'm really getting tired of new players wanting armor and weapons all the time :evil: *I* don't even have armor (by choice) and I've been playing since January...all I have is a hand-me-down Wood Staff because I bought Jakuren a Quarter Staff when I had the money for it... Besides, you don't get as much combat/attack/defense experience w/ armor and weapons... If you're a newbie and want to screw yourself up like that, go for it, but I'm tired of getting followed on IP being begged for armor and such...

True...I just wander along the edge of water and when the pickaxe pops up I'm like "Hey! Swamp candles...cool!"

Well, in Everquest, as long as you have everything you need, you can do what you need to do at the bank, but a lot of things, if you decide not to buy a spit or a beer barrel, you have to find those spots in the city to make drinks or food... Erm...a lot of things, you need certain boxes to make items...fletching kit for bows and arrows and darts...Spit or other cooking item to make food... We don't have just one box for manufacturing, we have several, and you have to buy them...you CAN use them as storage on your self, though...which would be handy for somethings in game, like potions...my gnome in EQ carries 4 backpacks and a toolkit, and each backpack holds 8 items, the toolkit, if opened a certain way, holds 8 items, my wrist pouch holds 4 items, but they have to be small...something like this could help with the potions that don't stack, but I still get encumbered in EQ when I'm carrying too much...it pulls down my Agility but I can still move... So, Um...to answer your question Roja...EQ really doesn't do anything about it...you either have that box to make that item or you don't...you can do it at the bank if you want...but there are tons of people standing outside the bank which still lags down the screen a ton when you have to go to the bank because people cast group spells there, which is helpful to everyone the spell will stick to...But...you can do anything and everything at the bank/storage in EQ EDIT: Forgot to add, the storage on EQ is very limited, too...you can put in as much money as you want, but items are limited, unless you have your storage full of backpacks or tool boxes w/ 8 slots each item...except of the items that won't fit in bags/toolboxes. We should be glad for the amount of storage we even have...LOL BTW, I never had a problem w/ walking away from storage either...just the summoning around it does get annoying..

Only problem with this, people have gotten so use to clicking in EL, they have the tendency to keep up a steady macro-like/auto-clicker-like rhythm...hehe... I know I have that tendency anymore

Yeah, I was surprised to find out there ARE swamp candles on IP... Thnx for giving out the link, RedGuy

I thought that's what the ring of disengagement is for! Doh!!
