    Well, my name isn't a very "normal" one, and due to that there are a lot of misconceptions behind it, although I really chose it for fairly normal reasons. Firstly, my name is meant to be:

     

    EvilMangoPie

     

    NOT:

     

    EvilManGoPie or EvilMangGopie And all you call me "gopie" should be ashamed :D (You know who you evil people are)

     

    The name came around a long time ago, when I was just a 'lil boy. While playing another game I needed a username, and, at the time a friend was round my house. Together we came up with "evilmangopie" which has kept with me for a long time. Firstly, evil because I am really an angel :icon13:. Secondly mango, because at the time I had an obsession with it, mainly because it sounds great and it is the most delicious fruit in the world. Pie, simply because everyone loves pie! The name has kind of stuck with my online ever since.

    sometimes people call me MagPieLee which is kinda funny :)

    I have chosen Nardo for my character in this game (which is not even close to my real name) for a few reasons and it has something to do with Italy, the Amazon and Babylon5.

     

    Italy because of Leonardo de Vinci, a man who’s work I greatly admire, (eventhough it mostly came possibly from the Chinese, but that’s another story) and there is a small village/district with the name Nardo, where once lived a (some say crazy) monk/alchemist/potionist with the same name and a kinda background which fitted my fantasy character nicely also.

     

    Nardo was also part of the name of a rare (and to my knowledge sadly extinct) tropical Amazon plant with groovy purple flowers which could poison or cure you at the same time. Funny enough I found Nardo also mentioned in a cooking book from Babylon5. All together I thought then that would be a nice fitting name for a mad potionist here (which I had in mind then). Little did I know. :whistle:

     

    (Some have asked me what the Lala means, that’s simple, Nardo is (the last) from “The House of Lala” (Lala by name, Lala by fame). (but that’s for the roleplaying fans among us)

     

    N.

    Lala - and here I was thinking that you liked the Teletubbies :P

    I suppose this is the 3rd coming of this thread - maybe even the 4th but I couldn't find it :)

    I refrained from posting on them but I might as well post on this one:

     

    My name is made up from two things

     

    Magpie and Lee (no damn pie's!)

     

    Magpie because

    It is a nickname for my favorite football team!

    I like shiny things (enriched essies :P )

    In the UK they are synonymous with little thieves and cheap people. (not so much with me much)

     

    Lee because

    Its my name (I let a few of my friends called me by it in the game and now most of EL do for some reason ;) )

     

    Common misconceptions

    Some people can see it as "maggie"

    I am a pie (this is not true of course - but I do like to cap PIE in my name when logging in to confuse people)

    I'm necro-ing this thread since my harvest med broke not long ago:

     

    Final count was:

     

    Money from bags of gold coins: 3980

    Queen of Nature blessings experience: 46950

     

    Your Harvester Medallion has been destroyed

    Mother Nature decided to destroy MagpieLee's Harvester Medallion. Don't you love Mother Nature?

     

    Not too bad I guess. I know a friend of mine who's harv med broke after just one gold bag :)

    1. It could remember the last size you set and use that for future bags.

    2. It could have a pop-up menu with a "size to fit" option that makes the window big enough to show everything in the bag.

    Make an option where you can configure one of both options above. Some ppl might like option 1, others option 2.

    .....

    Piper

    Please, no more options!

     

    EL already has build up quite a number of unused or hard to find options.

    e.g eye candy frame rate, most of the sky options, right click options on inv buttons (if you don't now they are there you wouldn't expect them there), ...

     

    More options confuse and overwhelm new players and make it harder for devs to read the code and find bugs or add future changes.

     

    ~Alb

    I know how to go around that problem...yet another option to click on to show "Advanced Options" which will be these tweaks you mentioned. Normally only the most basic of options would be available

    If you've patched Labs with his method, then yeah it has run its course (since 99% of the time, my creature/monster drops never drop more then 4 different items so anything smaller then the current size will be nice). Unless you changed it to have your method of "coding fun" which is more aesthetic, though Labs looks like its simple-no fuss and easier.

     

    When is the next plan client update and will this be included in it? :P
