That sounds like somthing someone famous has or would say. Did you steal it from somewhere, or are you that profound? lol what do you mean isn't Radu "teh Someone"? This one goes amazing with "insured by G0d"

Native tongue - Romanian No sparhawk is supposed to be a short essay on our world

I once found 2 urban polar bears sharing a bottle of ale in front of Idaloran's Tavern....So you guys that spend your life in c2....you taught these poor animals your bad habbits:-))))

I will try;-)

1) I guess is normal for the Gods to have altars all over Seridia. That won't give the same blessing as the priests, since is not direct blessing lol... for instance +3 to the skill. To get the bless the offerings could be items not necesarelly gc. If you serve an enemy god you can get cursed by the enemy god's priests....when you talk to them, or when you make an offering....something like "you traitor you dare to make an offering to Blah, when you are the follower of Blah"

But something can be done... 2 ways of entering the pk maps..... "You walk carefully in the PK map + x temporary defense while in pk - x temporary attack while in pk" "You went like a gnome cannonball in that pk map! Bloodlust + x temporary attack while in pk, - x temporary defense while in pk" This could help the lower players resist more in pk, while will make the high-level players have more fun. x is proportional with your geez i don't know one of the attributes never used, this could make fighting interesting. And would improve the pvp thing too....because there would be more combinations... The risk would be higher for everyone i guess.

Or better "Kedan found the joker but is a dumass and and got the riddle wrong, so the joker not only that kept his prize, but also kicked Kedan, took his MM Cape and teleported him to Palon Ventras School to study more". We solve also the tele to c2 part with that :-)))

Greetings from the High Council of the Dawn Guild We are glad to inform the great EL community that we now have a new virtual home. Therefore we invite everyone to come and visit Citatel of Acheron http://www.free-ftp.org/dawnp/

New updates soon on our site. I'm working at a new set of maps for c1/c2 and i want to thank vanyel for helping me with all the information needed for this procedure. Hopefully the maps would be of great help to the community. Also we would reshape the site a bit in the sense of an improved ergonomy:-)

Untill you find the qualified people your guild wants to have within your ranks remember that i'm just a pm/#ig away. So if you need help with anything (except harvesting - i'm a very lazy elf) i would be glad to help you and Legends of the Empire in your virtual path. Take care

I'm sure almost all guilds - exception making the national guilds - but well they can also make exceptions...would love to have you in. It would be an honor to have you wearing the Dawn tag, but i'm sure your dreams focus on a larger guild. Either choice you will make, the community would continue admire you as value comes under every tag. Hugs

You can check also our guild http://www.free-ftp.org/dawnp/ You will find the joining procedures on our site/forums... But i have to underline that we have a very complex application process that can take a bit long. But quality means sacrifices on both sides... Either choice you will make, take care see you in game.

Agreed. Maybe i'm speculating but as far as i understood the cooldown was introduced: 1) to stop the market inflation 2) to ensure another gc exit from the game 3) to make the mixing process different from a continuous click and drop But i'm not a dev so this is only what i undersood so far....correct me pls

I encounter the same problem with a new fresh download/install... well anyone found a solution to this? Don't worry even if the search didn't came with the right threads.... the solution is: Download the file from this link and overwrite the old mapeditor.exe with the new one http://www.eternal-lands.com/mapmakers/map_editor.zip

I have some corrections to make. 1) The Council WAS formed and 8 guilds are in allready. 2) The Council representativity for the community is ~100 active EL players (total ~ 150) 3) The Council even quite representative for a part of the community is in the process of definition (on the Council Forums - not here) 4) The Council is trying to strengthen up by adding more value to it as a whole, through new guilds representatives joining. 5) I would kindly thank to everyone that asks questions about the council, but i'm afraid the answers can't be offered too soon since most of the (allready) members are trying to work in the council definition etc on the Council Forums. Most of the things that are worked atm are in draft version so they can't be debated or used as answers for the questions posted here. Not yet. As soon as the members would agree on a regulament - for instance - goals etc, it will be made public. I love the suggestions posted here - Ghrae, Van, LW and others came with amazing ideas and i thank them for that. The only regret i have is that their guilds are not yet represented in the internal debates since would brnig more value to the council itself. For the moment the Council is not fully functional as a structure. This would take some time and probably the best way is to start after new year. In this moment the Council is one neutral place where various issues are debated and probably when the members will agree will officially react to some issues that the members agreed on. I have a comment: Eternal Lands is in Beta Version and many updates can take place without other announcements if those are to improve the game itself (i hope i've quoted ok). Some times when the game has problems there are updates that fix those problems. Please consider the Council also in Beta Version. As EL devs do, we try to build something better to offer multiple features to our members. If there are problems we try to fix those problems. We ask for the same patience and kindness since we build this from scratch. If something is wrong we will fix it. But we can't know if something is wrong without the test period. Most of you are amazing players that have enormous experience and expertize. All i ask is the same attitude for a while. I mean quoting an old Jez post forever is not a solution. That was a problem. The future "updates" fixed it. Is like we are keeping saying that Iscarlith storage is buggy, after the people that hardly work for this game to be more interesting fixed it. Nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. So better start with something and improve it than renounce to start because you haven't found the perfect solution yet. Eternal Lands proves that. Is a magnificent game in beta version. We love it and respect the work of the devs even sometimes it affects us more or less. So please try to see with the same attitude the Guild Council. Thank you and Happy New Year!!!! your friend Angel

First, i caught a very bad cold that prevented me for beeing active both on EL/Forums. I would be more active in the first days of the New Year. Potential description of a guild meeting. Preparation of the meeting - deciding the date/time/location of the meeting - through polls in Council Forums. - 1 week - all Council members submit ideas to be discussed in the next Council - posts in "Round Table" sections of the Council Forums (allready some ideas for debate were posted by current members) - Council members nominate - if they can't participate - due to various reasons - the envoys that would represent their guilds. - a moderator for the meeting would be chosen Meeting - representatives gather in the selected spot - 10 minutes for *hugs*, *virtual coffee*, *registration* - everyone sits down. - the moderator announces the topics that were submitted by representatives - the discutions on the first topic began - everyone rise up and talks her/his ideas then sits down when his/her speech is over - after that every person that has potential comments rise up and in the order they did they speak - after everyone has spoken he/she sits down - if there is a proposal for a vote, coming from the representatives speech the moderator would announce the poll with the discussed options. - representatives may add options till everyone is satisfied - then everyone votes. - comments on the voting - moving to the next issue to be debated - the procedure repeats till the wanted subjects are debated. remember that only very important issues would be subjects of the meeting - the importance would be given by Council Forums polls prior to the meeting. The rest would be decided/voted on Council forums Post-Meeting The moderator would post minutes of the meeting on the Council Forums underlining: - the positions of each representative - the major points that were underlined by representatives - meeting chat Applying the Council Regulament: The moderator of the meeting has a council regulament to follow when posting the decision taken within the meeting: Eg. "If the meeting poll was not representative for the community - meaning if none of the options was not selected by qualified majority "50%+1" of the Council representatives the poll is resubmitted to the Council Forums. - "Guild Council Regulament. Section: Voting - letter al. 2" etc.

This kind of dialogue is not new either. "I don't see" vs "I see" on a theoretical system was the best debate the world had since Renaissance. The example i have in mind is the debate between those that sustained geocentrism and the few adepts of heliocentrism (Nicolaus Copernic or Galileo Galilei) during middle ages. All we do is to have 2 sides: traditionalists that don't see any good such Council would give to the community, or want to be convinced of the existance of this good first and people that think in a more liberal way that want to give it a try. I respect everyone's oppinion but i'm afraid that arguing here won't help at all. Too much talk and too less work. I never imagined that all EL guilds would join such a Council, i'm a realistic person that does not believe in Utopias not even in virtual ones. But since a critical number of guilds have joined the Council and their representatives registered on the forums i guess is time for some technical debates to be moved from this thread to the special section in the forums. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!;-) Hugs:-) For those that did not registered or want to do it in the future the Guild Council Forum's Adress is: http://www.phpbbserver.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=eligc

Long time ago after he participated to the Venice Carnival, Delacroix said (in old lombardian dialect) "Quanto dirne si dee non si puo dire". - How many things are to be said, but can't be said - I'm sorry but i see masks... too many masks.

My friend i'm sorry to dissapoint you but is not me to give a reply to any question. I'm just Dawn representative within this structure and one of the people trying to help this Council work. I'm not a representative of the Council - i was not empowered to talk for the council and probably i won't be one of the Council's Leaders - due to the fact that there are many leaders of representative guilds that can take the job. I guess what i wanted to do is to come out with some ideas. Now that you underlined that - i've mentioned that this Council can host various debates. One of the subjects that can be debated could be the the effects of the cooldown on market inflation in EL, as to prepare for the moment announced by Ent, (1 month after the introduction of the update) with some kind of an outlook report that could help the developing team with various ideas. For instance the gc exits from the game. Are there enough "gc exits" in Seridia? (Illirion would have some - that's what rumors say). Can a gc exit can be added to ensure a continuous flow of gc from the game? like a ship transportation tax? What would be the effect on eliminating the books from monster drops? Is the Nordcarn bookseller used by anyone? Can it be improved? Are the animal non-stackable items affecting the market - cause of the fact they mantain the summoning (between certain levels) less gc consuming? The model of enchanted swords market that in low scale seems to be more stable could offer some information regarding a what would happen if we would have a reduced number of items on market? Could the wraith become - a gc exit? Could a change of the current tool status to one similar with pickaxes help a bit? What would happen weapons/armors drops include broken stuff? I mean is more realistic since the monster fought with it. Would that ensure a gc exit? What would happen if some recipes would change? for instance the recipes for high end items? Who regulates the market now? Because is very clear that the market is not regulated only by an offer/request system. Aren't some groups selling at dumping prices? The NPC prices are the reference system for the market but those prices are working only in potions and alchemy. Could a crafting seller/buyer npc help regulate the crafted items market? And many issues like these? I guess these can be a subject of a debate.

Bro, i ask this question in general. Not related to the Guild Council or anything. So generally speaking - Is better for EL to have a strong community or a divided community?

I'm sorry for any of my future comments - this is a very sad day for me - look at the "Greetings" section of EL forums, so my ideas might seem a bit harsh. But i want to kindly ask those that oposed the Council one question. You want the community stronger or divided? And if you are so kind justify your position (if possible not making remarks like "i don't know how this council would make the community stronger, because we all know that the specialities EL councils allready answered to this hypotesys". Thank you

Van this is an issue that was brought to the Council attention allready. I underlined the issue as the first idea to be discussed in a specific section of the forums. In my oppinion i guess the decision should belong to the guild representatives as any other decision.
