Damn..... hate to see my own brother go, but talking with him on the phone, he's over the macro witch hunting that's going on... he said they should just make a new non-public client(like the game server) and just kick macroers that appear after that. RYA hopes to come back to EL, but he isn't thrilled with the current situations.... I'm kinda thinking the same myself.... These witch hunts have got to stop sometime.. I just hope it's soon so we all can enjoy this game once more.... I say make it pay to play right now and Screw the macroers.... they'll go away from boredom..... Telgar

In game marriages....lol.... That's a real funny one....lol....(looking over shoulders for wifey...) Forget guild wars....now it's time for the marriage wars!!! "I told you yesterday to clean out your storage! We have to make room for my flowers! get rid of all that dangerous armor and weapons NOW!!!" I can just see it!!! lol..... Telgar

Hmmmm.... this is a very interesting poll for me.... If RYA is John Kerry's secret son, then that means my mother had a tryst with Kerry.....lol..... Like that would ever happen....lol... An asskisser??? Not considering the RYA in RYA_Shazzaam stands for RUling Your Asses....think about it....lol A really nice person that likes to share..... Well, when we were kids, I do believe he shared both measles and chicken pox with me..... Someone showing off??? How??? By dropping his spare money around on maps???lol A bully as a kid....Well to others maybe, but I think I bullied him more than he ever did me! Someone that pisses people off......Gee.... this could be anyone!!!! A fat old guy with no life and not an asskisser.....hmmmmm you tell me.....what does he look like to ya'll....RYA_Shazzaam's Male Orc imitation Hell I think he left off the right answer.... a PITA!!!!! Pain in the Ass....lol Telgar

I agree with Lord Vermor on the new storage.... Raven should be moved to Tirnwood to be in a central spot on the map, fairly equidistant from the teleports, and a new storage should go in Morcraven Marsh , possibly near Tankel to discourage the pot makers with a longer trip. I know i likely should put this next item in the suggestion forum, but I'm gonna say it here anyways.... I would like to see a NPC who is just a NPC most of the time, but can act like storage if you "rent" his services for various periods of time, costing say 1000 GP per week to help take some money out of the economy, and also being fairly close to valuable player resources. Maybe you would have to do some significant quest such as bring him multiple rare books(5-10 chosen from a list of books, possibly including either a fluffy or chimera book), which would also help to balance out the economy a little by making rare books more valuable(at least until most who want to do the quest have done it).... Just a thought..... Telgar

Entropy, I just want to say this is and always has been your project, your baby. You have taken EL from just an idea to what we have now. Your leadership and hard work have made EL what it is today, one of the best MMPORG's around. I just never understood why there's not more players for such a fine game. The game is in Beta, which means nothing is set in stone, including continued development or lack thereof. I know that recently the macroers have really gotten you and the development team pissed off, and I suggest you just start deleting characters for any macroers you find in the future. It's your game, and your rules. I do understand the need to take breaks from the development side of things, which is why I think you should let the game go without further development for a month or two(or three). That way you can relax, get your thoughts together, and hopefully come back to EL and lead the development team to an award winning MMPORG. Entropy, you are a winner, not a loser. I'm just sorry the community has made you feel you must leave to relax. We should not put that kind of pressure on the development team. Please do come back after you have had a chance to recouperate. Telgar

I'd like to add my 2 cents worth to this.... How about this: 1. Eliminate Harvesting experience from Overall experience. Harvesting experience only counts towards what items you can actually harvest. For example, if fruits require level 18 to harvest, you have 0%(as in NO) chance to harvest it until you are level 18 harvest. Then at that level, you only get a small percentage chance(say 15 or 20%) to actually harvest the item, but your chance to sucessfully harvest goes up MODESTLY(3%) per level above 18. This would serve to eliminate a good bit of the muling by "new" players who are overall level 5 or so and have read tit mining books and taken most negative perks to get big carry loads.... This would also require Entropy to make it not affect current levels, just future experience, otherwise people who have reset would possibly have negative levels.... hmmmm... this could be interesting....... 2. Absolutely eliminate the teleport to PK maps. 3. Change the 50HP hits to leave player with 1 hp left unless they have 1 hp left as is in which case they die...this should stop the macroers.....and autoharvesters.....lol.... Let us know what you think....... Telgar (copied from my post in general chat)

This would also require Entropy to make a quick and dirty database run to subtract harvesting xp from overall levels, but this would likely mess up people who have reset, therefore make it not affect current levels, just future experience. 2.

I'll vouch for Spock.... we talked awhile..... he was at 9.5K when i left.... I decided to get about 1.3K while talking to him also... I think Horvic said he was at 5K while we talked... WE'RE ALL GUILTY!!!! Just wanted to put my .02 worth in there... spock wasn't macroing afk..... Telgar

OK Plat.....you're banned......j/k.... (going out on a limb here) Ok guys(and gals, sorry plat......) Let's get real about this whole thing... The game is in Beta right now. Everyone's stats and items will most likely be getting wiped when it goes P2P, right? Then why worry? Everyone is on here testing things out all the time. We test how people with 50 Phys or 50 Coord can fight... we test how fast that new thermal sword can break... We test how many flowers we can pick before storage pukes on us... And most of all we seem to be testing Entropy's patience. I say we let the fools buy stats! Thier money for stats will likely mean nothing when P2P comes out.... and best of all it gives the developers a steady source of income with which to fund our free play and testing time right now. I am a guilty party in not donating to EL yet, but I plan to be a P2P subscriber, especially if there is a break for subscribing for a year at a time instead of monthly. This is Entropy's game, Entropy's ideas, and Entropy's development team, and we are all Entropy's Beta testers... we should all support things he does for the enhancement of the game. On that note, I'd like to suggest that we be able to buy monster names. I'd pay $100.00 to have all goblins renamed RYA_Shazzaam... then I could go and PK my younger brother all day long...lol...Hey, he already has the green skin.... look here:RYA_Shazzaam's Goblin Skin...lol... and you get pics of The_King there also(My son Christopher, who likes playing also...) Have fun everyone... Telgar

I personally vote not to disallow trades from the same IP. I have a 7 year old son(The_King) who likes to play El also(he just basically likes to get one of everything he can find). He likes to chat with others sometimes, but he is only 7 so he types VERY SLOW, if he even notices a message for him. He is often on at the same time as myself(2 players from one shared DSL connection), and if I kill a garg or skellie and get something I don't want, if he is nearby I tell him to come over to me and I give it to him. I'm not muling or trying to cheat the game, but I would have to tell him to meet me in odd places to get items from me. Obviously this would be a slight inconvience for us, but we could work around this the same way the mulers would. maybe a little logic in the mule catching algorithm to catch large trades of items sucessively and then an automatic IP ban??? Set the limit at something like over 50-100 items in one trade, or maybe over 300 of an item in one hour? Also, my brother(RYA_Shazzaam) and I sometimes play from my house, and sometimes he brings his 11 year old daughter(IndianPrincess) over here to play since he only has 1 'puter at his house, and sometimes IndianPrincess and The_King both play and trade items. I would hate to see it ruined for the ones that are doing things legally, but if it's for the good of the EL community, we will deal with it. I just fear the mules will find ways around the rules again. There... I've said my .02... Telgar

Gee... and to think I just had logged on and was going to ask what level is needed to PK RYA_Shazzaam.....lol..... At least I know it's not Ivan killing my DSL like Frances did....lol Telgar

Do you think there are too many bots in the game? It seems like there are almost as many bots in the game as there are real players sometimes. What are your thoughts and opinions???? Let's hear from everyone..... Telgar

oops... thought it was a macroer... he didn't see pm's.... sorry... TelGar of OwLs Hoot Hoot! Don't pollute!

I just noticed a problem with the new client(1.0.0) for Windows... When you mine Diamonds, your inventory shows a Milk-chocolate colored fat potion bottle instead of a diamond. When you right click it, it gives the correct description, and it goes into storage as a diamond. Just wanted to pass this one along... just a simple picture id issue.... Telgar

I'll take number 97 The year my son was born(1997) :lol: Telgar
