  4. Guess the player name!

    omega_man or omegaman ?
  5. Bigger buddy list

    I have never been against the drag armors or bronze sword, or anything that can be obtained with normal game play. If someone uses bronze on you, use it on them. I AM against the ubber items that cant be gotten without gc buying, imo. If i want IDA, i can get ings and have made, if nothing else, i can't get ubbers that way, so IMO, that creates the un-balanced situation.
  6. 1v1 arena to the death

    I like the idea. But mario is right, exp is not a problem, it is not worth it to have to die after the first round of pvp'ing. I say keep it simple tho, no trying to force agreements on equipment restrictions, at most, maybe utilize gossip for people who want to find a fight ( like the match command).
  7. Making EL better

    I have played this game for years, and there are players I will never catch, mainly because I am not in a race with them. EL is a game you have to be in for the long haul, you need to plan and interact to achieve most things. While I enjoy this aspect, most gamers are looking for the instant glory of other games, and that is probably why they leave EL so fast. Are you sure it is the "300" your always complaining about, or is it the pr0 mixers? Tbh, it is very difficult to get, say, 100 pot level, while 100a/d is much simpler. I prefer a base of players that have been around for a while, and new ones who have the fortitude to play a long term game, to a bunch of new players who will leave as soon as times get rough,i.e. getting killed by stronger players; not being able to mix pr0 by week 3; etc. I am curious, if this idea was to happen, would you want capped training sessions? As there will always be players who can train twice the amount i can, per day. At the end of the day, the only player you should worry about, is yourself. And pls, give up on the "300" rants. Most of the time, it seems a bit jealous. FFS train your character instead of wasting your time with pointless rants about players who have spent their time working for what they have.

  16. Important notice for young people

    I have 2 kids who play sporadically, but also play other online games. At the end of the day, it is MY place to ensure that they stay out of danger. Of course, I can rely on the fact that I raised them to have a little sense, and not be so naive to believe anything they read on the internet is automatically the truth.
  17. Good luck with that Korrode, it's what they are best at.
  18. Jeezus, I still don't get why some many mixers are bitching. I buy thousands of he and sr's (and ae's, etc.) at a time, from guess who....... You want a profit on what you make, well just who the hell is going to pay for your profit? Like it or not, fighters are the top of the trickle effect of gc in this game. IMHO, harving for gc is great for noobs starting the game, but it should not be the best way to make gc, as it requires little actual skill or knowledge of the game.
  19. Lol, just try to imagine the sheer horror, if you, god forbid, really had to work for items you want to use :-P Oh no, I just get them for free. People walk up to me all the time and just give me supplies, for real, they do.
  20. If fighters get more gc, where do you think it will go? Manuers want to profit from what they do, without having to harv their own ings, is it wrong for fighters to want to make gc without having to harv and sell iron/silver as well? I have no doubt that if all trainers were to start spending hours at spawns way below their levels, just for gc, there would be another topic on forums detesting it, afaik, that is one of the reasons ts fail was removed. ( And for that point, how is that different then lower a/d chars in dragon armors and therms,,etc, taking spawns from higher a/d chars, just a side point) Really, I don't see why manuers would be against more gc for trainers, when in the end, it is really more gc for them. The MB in WS IS a good point, I for one don't mind helping, even though I am basically a meat shield taking damage while the higher levels deal damage (along with what I can do), but I also burn through alot of he, sr, a/d pots, gh pots, etc. However, if it invades on the one day a week I have to try to amass gc, I cba to help. The system is bound to fail, because ing prices rise, manu'ed prices then rise, and at some point, the end users of a lot of these items simply can't afford them.
  21. Should selling gc for $ be banned

    I disagree, I for one give away certain items. I also give my guildies loads of stuff I may never use, and would hate to have to pm a mod for every trade. Tbh, the best option I have heard is the limiting one client at a time, although I am not sure that is the answer. I do know that expecting the community to police themselves on this matter will never work.
  22. EL Polls

  23. Gold membership

    I think a lot of the "omg, this sux" comments come from the fact that everyone wants to play a free game, that has the proper upkeep and loads of new cool things, and never realize that someone has to work to make it happen. It maybe because they are young, and still think life is a bowl of fruit, and they don't know what it takes to put food on the table and support those we love. Or, for whatever reason, have never had to worry about "paying the bills". Until now, and even if this idea is implemented, EL has done a great job earning money in ways that do not require that you spend $ to enjoy the game. As many others have stated, people who spend money on the game have had a lot of advantages, if you have not noticed yet, I doubt this will affect you.
  24. Gold membership

    I would do it. Not much different than p2p race now. I think many will, look at all the pro crafter's and manu'ers who have p2p race, who get no in-game advantages from it.
