  3. Star Wars Episode 7 recap.

    Another one traceroute -m250 204.244.252.35 It stopped at the 245th hop here
  4. Client disconnect?

    Isn't that lagging out? What message does the client send to server on #quit? I am guessing it logs you off and then drops the connection? Maybe implement something that logs off the char, but keeps the connection alive so that it can bring you back to logon screen without reconnecting to server.
  5. Beware when trading with LightPresent

    True, evil was an unnecessary word. But even if the price comparison sites updated immediately, it is very unlikely anyone is going to check if the prices on the same bot changed within 7 minutes (between three trades). In Domino's defense, he probably didn't notice the bot was paying a different amount each trade.
  6. Beware when trading with LightPresent

    The issue with high traffic bots is that people need them, hence their owners can afford to pull off such tricks. The same thing happens with real life businesses too. It's evil but smart.
  7. Why the Invance Change?

    There is a more or less complete list here http://holy-eternalland.de/mercatorweb/index.php#ui-tabs-3 (the data there can take a bit to load). 120-145 was ran twice this month so far, 100-120 twice, and 145+ 8 times so far.
  8. Why the Invance Change?

    My chat log file points to /dev/null so I can't be quoted but if I remember correctly, the 120-200 had over 40 people sometimes so they split it into two groups (I may be mistaken here but this is what I remember happened?). Edit: The 145-200 was only ran around 9 times this month and we've often not had enough people to send a request.
  9. afk fighting at spawns should be bannable

    In all honestly, this "specialty" build you are so happy about is not special anymore since many people are going back to it after the addition of MLF. But even with the classic build of high vitality, full p/c and only 4 will, with amount of negative perks out there and some knowledge of the combat system in EL, I can make an alt that can farm female orcs at early 20s a/d and hardly get damage. In fact, I have done that before and more than once.
  10. afk fighting at spawns should be bannable

    Part of this problem was fixed with moving ignore levels of some creatures from combat level to defense level. I'm not sure what can be done about the rest apart from racing the AFKer for the monsters.
  11. what should i be fighting?

    Your coord in too high for your a/d. Try polar bears in irinveron closed area south of storage. There are plenty of them so the extra damage from your high coord won't be a huge problem. Your vitality is only 4 so I guess you block well but you take a lot of damage. Try moon or gatherer medallion for the +4 armor and work on getting your vitality to at least 16 or 20 before you max out your physique. The next step after that is lions at 70 a/d and then cyclops at mid 70s.
  12. Rabbitman's Weekly Improvement Ideas for EL

    Add 'little.....' and 'legionnaire....' versions of most monsters (not animals) starting with goblins and skeletons. the little version is weaker but same HP. legionnaire version is stronger and has more HP. It would also be a nice pattern by adding a new monster system without requiring new artwork.
  13. Nexus removal from NPC

    Any update to this?
  14. Some spells I would like to see are: "freeze" paralyzes the opponent creature. Doesn't work in pk or on invasion monsters. "disorientation" stops a creature from walking towards you and attacking you for 5 seconds. We also really need to improve the role of offensive magic outside PK. I understand people are concerned things being overpowered in PK but we can create a spell that people have full resistance against so it is useless in PK. It does a constant 50 damage to any non-invasion/instance/invance creature regardless of caster magic level and monster. The spell can fail sometimes. The chance of success depends on the creature. Little failure on low creatures to fails a lot on dragons. Rationality has no effect on this spell and it uses 35 mana. It cannot be casted while in combat. The cooldown is 3 seconds. The minimal level is 70. Failure decreases slightly ever 10 levels.
  15. You are in Iscalrith [40,39] None of the tiles leading to either the cave to my left or right are walkable. But if I click on the cave, my char will walk there and enter the cave. I can't click walk on any of the tiles in front of me or the ones leading to either cave.
  16. Nexus removal from NPC

    Positive perks would be a great idea. That is actually the logical trend in MMOs. once you finish building your char, you can improve it with some perks and such.
  17. Nexus removal from NPC

    This is: 1) a good idea for a gold coin sink. 2) helps control nexus removal drop/harvest event price. 3) might give some of us some motivation.
  18. Is Black Peter Racism?

    I'm not sure why someone would object to that (unless you are a pine tree ).
  19. Is Black Peter Racism?

    I don't know who "black peter" is and I'm not going to comment about him since I didn't bother researching who he is. But if you are talking about racial stereotypes, then a lot of the reaction is cultural. If you watch American movies, you will find a lot of characters in those movies that emphasize stereotypes. No one minds in many cases because since they are mostly comedies, the intention is humor. No one feels offended there. Take a look at Rush Hour 3. Chris Tucker goes out of his way to show funny black stereotypes on his character. But since the point behind it is to be funny, it's not offensive. An opposite example is how Amazon is putting warnings on old Tom and Jerry cartoons that feature a black maid with overly emphasized black maid/slave stereotypes. While that was ok back then, it was agreed that it is better or rather safer to put warnings on something like that in our modern days. When someone or a group of people feel offended by a racial stereotype, they are usually questioning your motive behind it.
  20. DeConstruction

    No need for a separate skill. Either use the relevant skill of the item or a general one like alchemy. Alchemy fits the description here. And did...did you actually make the font smaller in your post?
  21. DeConstruction

    EFE is not hard to get if you mix your own FE but the excessive need for ingredients in EL obtained through harvesting and mixing (as opposed to ingredients that need different skills to collect) means that no one has time to mix their own FE or harvest. This has led to the lack of EFE/serpents, etc... in the storages of people who need them. I would rather see harvesting 10 times slower and in exchange low level mixing formulas generate 10 times the product (which basically obsoletes the need for mini events as well) but that is not going to happen so we just adjust/work with what we have. So maybe replace the EFE in items like titanium serpent sword with some sword handle that costs 10k gold coins from NPC. 1000 FEs instead of 1 EFE in vial mold/alembic formula with an enhanced version using old EFE formula that has half the chance to break. Instead of deconstructing items, maybe make it possible to 'merge' three used/degraded items into one new item using the relevant mixing skill and a recommended level with a chance of failure.
  22. Mini games in EL.

    I like those ideas but unfortunately, I feel those they would have received more support and appreciation 5 years ago than now.
  23. Yahoo runs web services. They are open to exploits. You are more or less safe if you don't have services that listen to the outside world on your personal computer. Those bugs are due to the lack of code auditing so it is good that they are being found and addressed.
  24. Still more exploits being fixed. patch 30 for bash 4.3 released yesterday.
  25. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.3-patches/ patches .25 and up are the security fixes for this if you are running bash 4.3
