Hi folks, I'm selling: 1 * Human removal stone @ 750k Post here, or message me in-game. Sold.

I voted yes*2. I never did get a chance to play with the potion last time since I was busy with other things like maxing out my mule. Hopefully I won't have to read the book again...

I used to play Planeshift before I moved to Eternal-Lands. Quests and role playing are the things I miss from Planeshift. Gaining knowledge to make or manufacture some items, or gain access to certain areas and maps by doing a quest or series of interconnected quests was nice and helped set the role playing scene nicely. Of course Eternal-Lands surpasses Planeshift in most ways, but it is good to see here and in the blog that Radu has some very interesting ideas he is working on for the quests. Unlike Planeshift we have a decent bug free game with a very nice tech tree, and we don't suffer from asshat developers and mods. More role playing and quests would really be the icing on the cake, for me. I'm already enjoying the new quests and look forward to what is to come.

Beware of getting caught in the Ranging Arena during an invasion...I got caught out in there this morning. I thought this arena was like a school or storage area and wasn't worried about the invasion until it suddenly filled up with monsters...yeah I know, too much skipping nekkid through fields of flowers hugging trees and looking at fluffy clouds. A few points to consider: 1. If you have muled in with a shed load of arrows you will be rooted to the spot. 2. You cannot cast magic here, so you will not be able to heal yourself. 3. Since you cannot cast magic here you will not be able to Teleport out. Some good ideas: 1. Carry a few Disengagement Rings... 2. Carry an IP or other Teleport Ring. 3. Carry some potions of Greater Healing, since you won't be able to heal otherwise. 4. Carry a MoL, it might heal you and save your ass. I always carry a Disengagement Ring and an IP Ring, but hit my Dis Ring at the wrong moment, then had to wait while the cooldown counted out until I could try again. Luckily my MoL healed me a few times while I was lost in the mob of monsters. I'd be interested in any other strategies and ideas people might have regarding getting out of a tight spot in this arena.

Just the one, on me... always.

Nice idea. I'd use it. I've used the Summoning and Potion schools in the past.

I voted no. It's interesting and thought provoking, but not a feature I would want. Thank you.

I doubt anyone ever became rich from making TS Potions. It used to take me a few hours to gather and mix ingredients in the bag at the toads to get 100 potions. This went for 6,000Gc to the NPC. After taking out the price of the vials, the profit wasn't going to set the world alight for anyone. It was enough to keep me ticking over on a small scale basis, but certainly nothing spectacular. The change is fine by me since I'll adapt and find something else to keep me ticking over. Whatever animal parts are decided upon for the final potion...it would be nice if it was some animal with good eyesight since that would add to the feel of the game. I don't think it's going to make much of a difference if people use the same animal hide for other things since this will effectively kill TS Potions and not many will be made. So I doubt very much whether it will actually impact on low ranking people finding ingredients to level.

More quests would add a lot to the game for me. Interlinked quests would be nice, and could add a lot to the role playing in the game. They could be used to get special one off items to unlock new maps, perks etc. It would be nice if it didn't merely involve talking to NPC X followed by NPC Y, but also involved doing things like killing some monster or shooting a target with a bow and arrow etc. Just my 2 cents.

I'm testing on Slackware 12.1 Using a Compaq Presario CQ50 laptop. 2Gb RAM. nVidia 8200M graphics chipset with 512Mb RAM allocated to it, and using the 177.82 version of their driver. Colour depth is 24. Resolution is 1280*800. I get 75FPS on Isla Prima when the map viewer opens. Introducing 1 dragon takes it down to 74FPS, and introducing 100 rabbits as well as the dragon takes it down to 65FPS. I don't notice any peculiarities with the rendering. However, sometimes the left and right scrolling on the map reverses itself. i.e, the mouse action to move the map left and right inverts. If I scroll in or out it sometimes corrects itself again, and then will hit another weird spot where it will inverse. Other than that all looks fine.

This one works nicely on Slacware 12.1 too, including the sound. Not only is the sound in the game working, but I can listen to music with Amarok and get notifications from IRC/XChat too at the same time. Thank you.

Works fine one Slackware 12.1, apart from the sound. bash-3.1$ ./el.x86.1-8.linux.bin open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
