I didn't know about the hotkeys until today. But believe me, I'll be looking into them tonight!

Positive Perks: Cloak or Perk? For new players who are still getting familiar with the game I suggest getting the perk. True, this does use up pick points, but in the early stages of a characters life this is much easier than buying a cloak or risk it being damaged. It seems that many (if not all) new characters will probably reset at one time or another. At that time they can decide wether the perk is right for them. For experienced players, I suggest a strong consideration based on your favorite skills and HOW you play. Example: If you are an alcher, the harv perk may be good b/c it frees up a couple of emu and you never have to remember to get the cloak before hitting the mines. If you find that you are always hungry for pick points, then going perkless might be the best for you. I don't see that this question has jus ONE answer. Moreso, the answer varies on the player and their experience level.

Hmmm.... I spend quite a bit of time at the Portland fruit stand usually while helping out on #jc 1. And I have to disagree. It has taken me nearly 3 months to get to my harvest level (I believe 41). If anything, it can (and does) help me with some spending cash. But as anyone knows, it is hard to get rich at the fruit stand, even spending a few hours a day there. You might want to check out the www.eternal-lands.com website and the link for the top 50 players. You'll find that, though impressive, Harvesting does not reach the higher levels that some other skills do (attack and defense come to mind).

Marantz, you were not misquoted. If you want to state that your statement was taken out of context, you might have a case. However, if they quoted you without editing that phrase, then it is a valid quote.

I'm not going to lie... I would LOVE to level up quickly and be an all-powerful GOD in EL. But come on guys... what's wrong with a challenge? So they slowed down a few of the skills. Do you play this game only to level up? And if not, does it matter? If it takes longer to make LEs or HEs (or for that matter anything) then charge more for it. Many of you have complained that fighters are too rich. Well, here's your chance to get some of that money. I also understand that the forums are for the sharing of ideas (good and bad) but perhaps we can all try out the new system for a week or two before jumping to conclusions about how "bad" something is.

kl4Uz, you have anything nice to say ever? And btw... horses can travel by boat IRL... wether it will be an option in the game though...

wow teh banned 0n3na... now THAT was funny!

Why Reset if you want to do the attack god quest again? Just tell the god you don't want to serve him anymore... then tell him you want to serve him again That way you don't lose all your attributes/nexuses during the reset

That's not true... you replied to yourself.

You all run into players that should be banned all the time? I'm not talking about scammers or annoying people, but players that have legitamitly done something that the game says is bannable. All the time? Somehow I find that extremely hard to believe. Either they all leave me alone or you must attract them.

You can buy / sell most of the day-to-day things through the various merchants in the game. And for the most part they're not that hard to get to. For everything else (including rare things) the market channel does a pretty good job. And with the game creators altering Trik to buy even LESS items, I have a feeling the game creators are not going to create some uber buyer/seller.

Perhaps I should rephrase. I'm sure that the NHs and Mods come across problems all day long. Especially with everyone in the game acting as additional eyes/ears to report abuses. But I don't think the average player comes across them that often.

It's been a while, but there was a guild that acted as a "police action" from time to time. I wish I can remember the names of the players but I'm absolutely horrible at names. Maybe the rangers? I remember Mono was part of that guild... it's been too long since they were with us. Anyway, I remember them guarding tournaments and making sure everyone played nicely on occassion. If a guild of high ranking players could team together... well, it would be a start

As far as I know, Noob Helpers don't have a lot of power anyway. I mean, there is a bit of honor and recognition of their hard work, but it's not like they can enforce everything. I suggest learning how to get along with others. Sure there are scammers and spammers and bridge blockers, etc.... but do you REALLY come across that many? And if so, can it be you? I mean, I've played for nearly a year and I rarely come across people acting so bad that they need to be banned or anything.

Well spoke Wolf_Lord / NeoSeS I remember working with another "noob" as we tried to gather the money and advance our levels just so we could start our own guild. And we were both noobs at the time. And from that guild sprung some great members of the EL community.
