  1. Might work if instead of summoning a newbie u summoned a doppleganger of yourself (with half the stats of the caster ie: a/d and material points)but then you would need to put some kind of restrictions on it

     

    example: human nexus : 3 items Req: 10 bones 10meat 2magic ess

    magic nexus : 2

    sum nexus : 4

     

    Does not attack others players characters only monsters (including in PK) dont want some Uber warrior walking a round in PK with a mini me Uber warrior


  2. There might be an easier way Red but this is how i do it:

     

    Right click on the siggy and add to favourites.Then just right down the URL of the image and type that into the box for the URL on your signature settings

     

    If there is a better way im sure someone will tell you


  3. I think the system if fine as it is. Fair Enough im no where near good enough to take on a Chim but that doesnt stop me goin to the invasion if im on C1.Yep a Chim takes one bite of me and im pushing up daisys but doesnt stop me going ( nxt time it might be something i can kill.).A lot of the fun,well for me anyway is not knowing whats going to come out the cave mouth ( and im blonde but not stupid enough to wear anything im worried about losing).

    Last 3 invasions of been to i have been killed by arctic Chims :( but thats not a problem .if i was worried about dying i wouldnt have gone and also gives me a goal "DAMN CHIMS ONE DAY I WILL HAVE PAYBACK" :) lol

     

    Be nice to see a lot more variation though . wether it be an invasion of Trolls or hobgoblins or even just gargs .

    One thing i would like to see is more invasions that require strategy or tactics: Lets take my friends the chims for example:Maybe they didnt just wander to the caves by chance, maybe there are a giants pets and there giant handler is with them and they keep spawing into the caves until the giant is killed .All of us cannon(chim)fodder can try and draw of the chims while the fighters try and find and take out the giant ,at which point when he is killed all the chims run off . end of invasion. Very very basic strategy concept but hope you get the idea.

     

    To me though system is fine . I will keep going and keep getting killed untill im good enough not to die (or hide behind atlantis ;) )


  4. Colour(s): Black /Silver or what ever suits the Image (you know best)

    Style: As yours or Knights siggy

     

     

    Thanx.

     

    If you want paying shoq post a price here and i will see you ingame :P


  5. I think if you take the godless perk it resets your standing with the gods to zero but then you cant worship anymore gods unless you totally reset

     

     

     

    As Aislinn says forget that .just an option you can take (but stops you worshiping gods in the future without a full reset. so proberly bad idea )


  6. .

     

     

     

    However, if you do have a business, then things are a 'little' bit more complicated, to the point that last year we had to have our taxes done by a professional (you can do it yourself, but a professional can give you better advice, find more deductions, etc.)

     

    That is true ,professionals know more loop holes and can save you more money in deductions than you ever could as an individual,which hopefully works out enough to offset the cost of hiring them ,unless you are lucky enough to know someone in the business who does it for free.


  7. Lol hunt sabatour Des well done :P i must agree im totally against fox hunting but saying that my girlfriend hunts wild rabbits with her hawks and i find that acceptable because its what happens in nature (if they wernt captive the hawks would still hunt the rabbit) where as fox hunting is just a past time cant even be a called a sport to be honest.

     

    I would like to see hunters hunt properly one on one no guns no dogs no horses ,can you see a deer hunter trying to take down a full grown stag with his bare hands (i know who would win and my moneys on the stag) if ppl want to hunt fine but do it on the animals terms then you can truly call yourself a hunter .

     

     

    As for Zoos tricky question most Zoos exploit animals for the public its how they get the money to fund breeding programs.What is best a bear in a zoo being exploited to fund its breeding program or the bears being extinct ? In some case i think its the lesser of the two evils and the pros far out way the cons

    Yes, in theory any profit you make, including selling your car, winning the lottery, winning some prize froma TV game (some guy went to jail because he didn't declare that), and so on.

    Of course, most of the people won't declare every single little thing, but if you have an electronic trail, like we and many other business have, then you pretty much have to declare everything.

    Stores and other business that deal with a lot of cash have the luxury to 'forget' about some income. But since we get very little cash compared to electronic payments, we just declare the cash too, because it won't make a big difference anyway.

     

     

    I can totally understand your dilema and some ppls worry then .you obviously have a goverment who taxes every cent they can. Am i right in thinking every citizen of the USA has to do/work out there own taxes per year and declare every cent they have earned ? because here the tax on are earnings comes out of our wages before we even get it (unless you are self employed and then you have to fill in your own tax form once per year).

     

    If that is the case then i can still see EL itself as a business not having to much to worry about above and beyond what you pay now in taxes. But I think what they will try to get is individuals to declare any RL money they have made through online games ( ie: a player selling COLs for RL cash) and then Tax them on that . Harsh but i can see it happening ,because games like second life have made it possible for ppl to make quite a bit of RL money from playing online and if they tax one persons online game earnings then they have to tax the lot. Dont think it has anything to do with taxing online gold coins/or items untill that gold/item is transferred into RL cash but hey i might be wrong goverments have very funny ideas and grab money where they can .

     

     

    Edit : Must say you have my sympathy .We complain about taxes here in the UK but they dont seem half as draconian as yours


  9.  

     

    However, you do have to pay taxes for any profit you make in the US, except for donations/gifts. In theory, even for barter you are supposed to pay taxes (like if I am a dentist and I fix your teeth, and you are a plumber and you fix my pipes), we'd both have to pay taxes for that, although you can put the service you performed as a business expense.

     

     

    Any profit ?? say from the sale of your car privately ? or is that exempt from taxes .if not then they got you by the balls to be honest lol

     

    Like they say Born Free Taxed To Death


  10. Living in England i know that we ourselfs are allowed to earn so much before we are taxed on it,and any money made from private sales ie: garage sales/car boot sales/private sales between friends are tax free unless you make a business of it .Take Ebay for example in England you can sell items and not be taxed on your earnings unless said earnings go over a certain amount per annum (when as rightly so the tax office decide you are using ebay as a business and you are taxed)

     

    To the point in question. I think the taxing online games is more aimed at the Second life market where a lot of RL money is exchanged for online money and vice versa.now if you could convert your EL gold into RL cash then i think it would be taxable .I dont think EL has any worrys as far as the IRS goes(Reason being there is no inbuilt ingame feature to change your EL gold/assests into RL money as there is in Second life) .. certain individuals might if they sell ingame items for RL cash on a regular basis but that would be a case by case scenario and not EL as a whole.

     

     

     

    Edit :

    spelling


  11. Just bought a ticket woohooo lol my luck might as well chuck the money

     

     

    anyway is the draw once a month as the NPC states or once a week as said by Ent ????

     

     

     

     

     

     

    EDIT: took labrats advice (thanx) so forget this :whistle: (speed reading oops)


  12. Very good idea B)

     

    I think thats you will get more people playing on a regular basis if you have more then one prize. (more chance to win even though it be a lower amount)

     

    ie: 9million prize fund

     

    First prize : 4 million.

     

    10 runners up prizes of 500,000 or 20 at 250,000 etc

     

     

    or if the prize fund varys each week then have the First prize 50% of the fund and the other 50% goes to lower prizes

     

     

    100,000 prize fund

     

    First Prize 50k

     

    10 runners up at 5k


  13. Good Ideas cant fault your logic

     

    Im not a programmer but to me most of these changes seem purely cosmetic ? (might be wrong) and plenty of work needs doing before little tweaks are made here and there ie: finish C2 maps / placement of Npcs etc etc ...

     

    And we musnt forget the game is still only in its Beta stage and im sure the Devs are proberly working on some of your ideas (as Aislinn states) and a hundreds others .

     

    As it has been said its a classlass game but my self personally i would like to see more skills so players have the option be totally differant from one another if they so wish ( more than likely been suggested before so i will not elaborate).

     

    My only answer is if you would like to help with the Dev of the game contact who ever you need to (sure the mods will point you in the right direction)and have a talk to them .


  14. Yes, last time I saw an invasion (for a contest) the monsters were nicely spread out, even tho strong we could still take em.

     

    This time, you're putting too many in 1 place again. 1 Giant in Desert Tropics, Ok I'll go off to try. Whoever was playing on Mortos of you guys, probably summoned like 10 Giants.

     

    Comment -> Negative: Too many uber-monsters and not enough spread out.

     

     

    -Blee

     

     

    Good point maybe the Giant should be one per map say as the leaders of the invasion

     

    ( note:At My level Ten giants is just the same as one. fft I would get owned just by the giants left Testicle ) :devlish:


  15. Just a quick note to say thankyou to all the Devs /mods and any one else who was involved in organising and running the mass invasion

     

    Thankyou was most enjoyable

    lol noob :)


  16. I suggest putting horses in the game. I know the trouble with that is that if they were in game people would suggest riding, and that doesn't work, so I thought and thought about it and came up a solution that fits everyone.

     

    horsecostume.jpg

     

    Under the manu skill, or maybe dual skill manu and summoning, you wear it instead of pants. I'm off to manu myself a horse!

    You will get players complaining about them stirrups of destruction
