The server only handles short paths (less then about 25 steps or so). All the other path finding is client side only, so adding way points doesn't help the server any.

Too many neg perks already, and this one sounds like too much of a freebie.

Prattler is offline currently until I can track down a bug in the ants.

It is designed that you can not do much of anything other than chatting when harvesting; when fighting you can eat, drink potions, change armor, move items in inventory, etc but with harvesting you can basically can do nothing. It is why players look for things outside of game to do when harvesting. I make things while I harvest, I take advantage of the events stopping harvesting and the food cool down as well to help use up what I harvest at the harvest site, instead of making as many boring trips back to storage.

Yes, a bunch of hacks have already gone in that help the US international keyboard work better with EL. That's a compliment to the commitment to the EL developer that have been working on that.

The problem with anything non-ascii is that the SDL keyboard system wasn't design for foreign keyboards, so is anything is always a hack and can break easily depending on h/w & OS.

Only worth it if the pk'r can get good drops

My bots can ban people, or make it much more expensive to deal with them. By default if the bot doesn't like you, but you aren't banned, it instead doubles it's price to sell, and cuts in half how much it will pay

The tax idea wasn't in response to the gc sales directly, but rather to help pull a little bit more gold out of the game. It would have to be a very low level though to avoid driving prices for normal in game trades up a lot.

A tax wouldn't stop the black market sales, but would at least add a little bit more of a drain the the gc flying around in the game.

Put a tax on gc that is traded.

If you knew it was illegal, why did you do it? You definitely shouldn't be surprised at the ban at least.

Orange jumpsuit I'd allow, but we have too many people like Jiraiya without also allowing them to look the part as well!

If you dress that way, I'd be Sooo tempted to ban you!

Everyone's experience will vary, and what you are harvesting is a BIG factor since that affect the interval of events. As I said, I've had them last for months at a time which really adds up.

I've had them last multiple months, and only minutes. It depends all on your astro, harvest level, and what your are harvesting along with just dumb luck. I still using them all the time because they usually pay for themselves!

Nobody will port block the port I use, or they will break https:// since I use port 443 . But, I normally don't respond to people who are looking for help since I don't want to appear to be trying to scrounge up business for my service.

That web page was shut down ages ago because too many people thought just by submitting the bot there that it was approved. All approvals go through Entropy and by default bots cost unless you convince him it's good for the community as a whole.

Thats not really an error message, that means, that the client tries to connect to the main server, the server, where you want to play. Have you changed anything at your firewall, anti-virus software, router and such things? Anything, which would block port 2000 and/or would limit your connections to only a few servers/ip adresses? Or have you moved to a place, where they dont allow you to connect to the EL server, because it's a game? Piper Im in a hotel for next 2 weeks, but no proxy needed to set up. (autodetect in windows LAN settings) But if it was a LAN restriction i wouldnt be able to ping it, right? Many hotels do block port 2000 as some ISP's do. Partially because some internet phone systems use that port. I've had several people experience that problem which have bought my proxy service to get around it.

The reason NOT to change the NPC prices on many items is the effect on the economy for those things that the NPC's are willing to buy and are monster drops as well. Currently the NPC buy price is controlled by the NPC sell price.

If this was to be implemented, then some negative effect would be required while your acp is negative. Otherwise it's simply giving you free action point slots.

Keep in mind also that as more types of days are added, you can expect that the chance for any specific day happening is also reduced. Since we have about 40 different random days available, that means that only about a 2.5% chance of a day happening is about right (+/- depending on any adjustments Entropy has made). Then add in days that have been forced by quests or day stones, and the apparent chance is now even lower. This would place the CEL 2.5% chance as being too high since the apparent chance will be lower. Plus, using random numbers means the next two could both be tomorrow, or it may be over a year. I think you'll find the Entropy will say that it's not broken and that just how the randomness has been working out.

As far as i undestand the Day stones, you can only use them on normal days, so if NO special day has been Triggered by the server. If that is as i undestand it, the use of a stone should not have an influence on the computing of if a day is special or not, because it happends before. Another point would be that the server takes into consideration the ammount of special days that have happend in last times to determine if a day is special or not. Even if that would be the case, we stil see "many" of random days to apear, like solar flares right now, or More grief yesterday, or some others. My point here, is that seems to be that the Server does not take into consideration the Recycling day, when it has to decide which of the special day is going to be Edit: typos (some of them ) Correct Day stones make it appear as if the day happens less often, it's the Quest that requests a specific day before the change that makes it actually happen less often. I doubt that the Server will be changed to make things happen at specific %'s, because at that point it stops being random. you would be able to start predicting what day would come upby gathering the stats of the 'random' days. Having random days means that sometimes they will be far apart and other times it may happen twice in a row which is what can make it unpredictable and more fun!
