your char exists and not locked http://www.eternal-lands.com/view_user.php?user=Saghain Is it possible the connection is dropping?

Can you post some logs of proof of what you are saying?

well log on already

ctrl+s is the spell/sigil window. ctrl+x doesn't appear to be used unless I a missing something.

If think if you are low in any range, you should stay with the biggest group you can find. Most people will try to protect you if you are new. There is safety in numbers.

Actually other than the tutorial quest, most newbies don't look for a sign that says "Next go to person X in place Y and do this quest". What initially keeps newbies in the game is knowledge on how to set targets and start leveling up their chars. That means questions like "what do I do next?" "what skills should I follow?" "where can I find something to kill?" "where can I find people to talk to?" "where can I get better armor?", etc..

-1 too here. players should bother talking to an NPC at least once and discover quests on their own. Someone took time to write the NPC script.

I bring at least 10 EMP with me. They can save my life sometimes. Potions of vitality help with nasps and potions of attack help with giants. There is another tricky situation in 120+ invance with the white tigers so some air essences help. Then you can MD the white tigers instead of having your cooldown reset.

Keep in mind a few things: Believe it or not, some people still train. Those people are not going to kill their training build by adding too much p/c so they can kill a red dragon. In my days, we had 24/48 or 28/48 p/c till mid 120s a/d, then suddenly added our saved up 20 ppts to physique so we can move from feros to dchim.

Well you saw someone getting banned for it but you decided to do it anyway. That means you were intentionally trying to provoke trouble. Because if she bans you for just 3 days, you will do it again the minute you come back for the reason I just mentioned.

yes, exactly. Antisocial is too easy at the moment. making pickaxes manufacturable makes antisocial even less of a negative perk. There should still be some advantage for people who aren't antisocial.

Mars, please wait after the weekend when Aislinn is back.

Something back in atari days. but first DOS/Windows game was powerF1

At the moment, the #change_pass command asks for old password and new password. Since we cannot see the new password while we enter it, there is room for typo. Instead of typing qwertyu as my new password, I may type qwerrtyu instead. We end up everyone once in a while with someone complaining they lost their password while changing it. How about making the command ask for the new password twice? The syntax could be: oldpass newpass newpass Typing it twice removes the chance for accidental typo.

It could be an idea from two centuries ago for all I care. I just think it will help.

It should be easy items that require group work. You can attract a wider range of participants by making the quest need items that accumulate in people's storage like fur hats, skunk hats, etc..

Make is mostly harvestables again. (~150k harvestables like when this started) but instead of pushing to finish all the work in one day, have certain people collect donations throughout the 10 days and then just deliver them when the time comes.

If people are allowed to trigger invances with cooldowns, they will start asking for the possibility to reduce the cooldown like they do in instance. That is a big no in my opinion.

They aren't used much because no one bothers with any enchanted sword other than the thermal serpent which makes manuers unhappy. Brusu's suggestion adds use for them. But I don't see people wasting a modable sword to harvest hydro,

it should be the same but the #data_dir in el.ini will need to be modified. that's all.

everything inside ~/.elc/ can moved as is to your windows profile. under windows XP it is My Documents\Eternal Lands

start the client. instead of pressing 'log in' or 'new character', ctrl+O on your keyboard. then go to troubleshoot tab. disable the 'shadow bug' option. Does that help?

yup, 100% chance makes more sense than 60% and 1 free ppt is enough

A creature that uses magic to kill me? a huge no from me. But I like the idea of a creature that can use ranging to kill me. It will create a market for defence points.

what graphics card do you have? it's likely that you need a driver update (from the manufacturer website not microsoft update). can you try running the client but instead of logging in, ctrl+O and then in GFX tab, disable shadows. the in troubleshoot tab, disable 'use animation program'. if they doesn't help, repeat the same steps and additionally enable 'poor man'.
