If you train on gargs you train on the physical small ones, then on the tall ones with wings and then on the brawny ones without wings. that's why I call the brawny ones, the large gargs.

*lol* you never played another MMORPG... did you?

"Entering Morcraven Marsm" When going from WS to MM i get that message.

I don't believe in states, nations or unions of those two. BUT I can see the advantages of the EU constitution. Democracy will be strengthend and the barriers between the states will fall even more. I hope the french will vote for the EU constitution. Personally I think the UK should decide wether they wanna be part of the EU or not. I live next to the german and swiss border (switzerland is not in the EU yes but joins the Schengen convention) and not far away from the Italian border. I think it's great that there are no borders between these countries, it's just like going to some austrian place and the region here really grows together. The Euro is another great thing. I had to carry three currencies with me all the time, which sucks hard. I was very sceptic at first, but the advantages outweight everything. I want this Union to become more democratic and with less barriers inside, that's why I would vote for the constitution (in Austria the parliament decides anyways).

full ack!

just stfu! This player is asking a question - all you do is spamming and insulting players. The only n00b in here is you. Harvesting and spamming, that's all you do. @ Grim: The devs are working on new quests and so can you. There are already threads about this subject.

The duel feature will allow that.

I haven't seen the ants before, but what you write about them sounds very interesting. I'd love to see them ingame. 20+ imho

the magic quickbar is listed under patches on berlios.de elc site - but I'm not sure if it still works

This is a stupid idea. What If someone looses a bag and I wanna give it back? How will I find out who he/she was? #jc 1 [kl4Uz]: erm Does anyone know a white haired elf with leather armour? ... [x] no, thanks

Out of a totalitarian perspective of right, it might be copyrighted though.

Hardcore is only realted to house by the fact it's electronic music too... House is something completly different. I like house (rather deep house or stuff like deep dish), some trance (stuff like Dave X, cocooma, dj dean), old school techno (U96 rulez!!!), ibiza trance (Chicane, solar stone,...) and of course Goa aka Psytrance (solar plexus, infected mushroom)... but hate Hardcore, Gabber and all that crap.

I'm totally against this idea - If you wanna heal train your magic skill. There are no such things as pking for the Non-fighters or SR making for those without vegetal nexuses. For a reason.

I was thinking of a way to make pking more interesting for all players, not only the high level ones. My idea is to introduce an honour system in pk fights. Let me explain what I was thinking about: the basics: Each character starts with honour level 0. You get honour points (positive and negative ones) for each player kill you do. You can get a maximum amount of + or - 10 points for each kill. Kills are divided into honest ones and not honest ones. If you kill a person that is for example 5 levels weaker than you (we have to find a formula how we calculate this levels - i suggest a mix of a/d/p/c/w) it's a non honest kill, so you get -10 honour points. If you kill a person with -4 levels you can get 2 honour points, with -3 levels you can get 3 for example and so on. If you kill persons with a much higher level you can get much more honour points. I also suggest a graphical indicator that shows you if a player has similar levels to yours and therefor you can kill him to get honour points. the honour levels: Out of all the points you earn or loose an honourlevel will be calculated. For example if you were level zero before and fought some good fights you will advance to level two just like the skill levels we have at the moment. If you fought another fair fights you advance to honour level 2. But you can also loose a level if you do some fights against too weak players. Personally I think the points should only be calculated every weekend or every 4 days, so people don't capitalize the whole thing. rewards There would be several rewards for each honour level you gain. For example access to an NPC that sells rare equipement you can't get anywhere else. Or maybe some attributes are getting higher while you have a certain honour level. I'm sure you will come up with some great ideas for rewards and so on. Please bear in mind, all the levels and numbers I used are just examples, so you can get the idea. Let's discuss it and please don't flame it without even thinking about it. With regards, kl4Uz

And that's exactly the reason why you should use an ANTI spyware tool...

let's get rid of the MM Perk. Everyone who wants to be save will need a cape. And newbs can't afford a cape that easily

According to #glinfo it uses OpenGL 1.5.4707 [win xp release here]

4-12 fps is far away from beeing normal! Go check your driver settings. There's a special OpenGL settings button in the Detonator menu. there's a controller that switches from Best Picture Quality to Best Performance. Try that. I also recommend you to play in full screen mode and if you have a TFT monitor, always use the native resolution for best picture quality.

Oh my C64 here doesn't support EL and internet - could you please make this game singleplayer and stop supporting new-fashioned crap like the PC architecture or PPC? <_<

Of course there is always space for abusers and scammers. But does the idea suck, just because people play unfair? If EL is just a tool to blow up your tiny real life ego, then go ahead - if you want to make this game better, then please write your criticism out and argue. And by the way Next, if that's the only problem this honour system has, then I'm really happy... Regards, kl4Uz

What about a level-of-detail system? And btw. I can't believe rendering the whole stuff is really problem for modern Hardware. I used to play EQ2 (a commercial game I know) which has incredible graphics (check yourself: http://eq2.gamona.de/artikel.php?ID=62) and they can manage that too. Btw. I think it's very strange that I can play Half-Life 2 on highest gfx options with AA 4x enabled and have better fps than in EL...

Imo the maps resolution should be changed. 512x512 is fine for small maps like Naralik for example but to less detailed for big maps such as Whitestone. I suggest to make the World map highlight regional maps if you move your cursor over it. You should be able to access any map by clicking on the highlighted map piece even if you're not on that map. And I think we need maps for special places too, for example a Whitestone City map.

vanyel, you're arguments are really good and of course there's a whole lot to improve. ad 1.) Not sure about this. No one has the same opportunities in this game, since not all people play the same way. Why would a crafter need a special chain mail that only fighters need? You are right atm, everyone can get everything if he/she has the money to buy it. But that way people start to harvest liliacs and after some hours they can buy greaves etc.. Shouldn't players make an effort to get something? Just a thought... ad 2.) I already thought about that problem and yes I believe the Material points a person has atm should also be a variable in the calculation of their level of fighting ad 3.) You are certainly right skills change especially in the beginning very fast. But at a certain point in your training process you don't make huge jumps anymore. Maybe a week is too much and presumably one day is too less. Maybe we can find something in the middle. I think it would be a good idea to test this feature on the test server first, so we can have somekind of beta test, where we'll see how the whole system works and what needs to be improved. What is unbalanced and so on... greetings, kl4Uz

I would love to move the camera more freely. Imho it's not really problem to code that. The problem is the crappy mapformat. Not all objects are placed straight on the ground, otherwise they would flicker. In most cases you wouldn't even notice that, but I'm sure some maps would need to be improved before free camera movement is implented.

@ JaneMuffin: The Karma system they are talking about is a gag by the bot WanderingFool. @ obionek: Why not rewards for fair and honest players? I was thinking about really rare stuff you can only buy one time when you reach a certain honour or karmalevel (call it like you want). So the chance, that there will be a player market for these kind of things is really small. @ Lachesis: Of course there should be mechanics that prevent such things. I thought of something like this. When you kill a player the secondtime you get 25% less honour points. The third time it's -30% for example and so on. The honour points should never go down to zero, but after some time it's just not profitable anymore to attack a certain player.
