Hi I used to have a Mac mini which finally died. Bought a new computer with Intel Core i5, dedicated video card, tons of RAM and huge amount of HD storage. Have to relearn how to use a PC.

thank you Maxine and Sir_Odie. I will get my husband to help me get the most current drivers from the manufacturer's website. I will let you know how that works out. I miss EL soooo much! Sable from PEN guild Vert from K&M guild EDIT 2 hrs later. downloaded driver from www.nvidia.com. that site used a Java script to scan my CPU and determine the correct driver. It is still installing. EDIT many hours later It works!!! I can now play full screen, shadows, everything. wow the water looks great! thanks for the help Sir_Odie and Maxine.

great idea. Hope the developers actually do this one. I dont think they read this thread.

Interesting point! Never knew that. Definitely dont need attribute increase if OA cannot be increased.

changed my vote to NO. I think OA and attributes should have no cap at all!!!!

I voted yes. Today I was thinking about where to put future pp. There are only 179 available right? Plus nexus points from hydro bars and negetive perk points. I am pretty much exclusively a mixer so I would like more EMU (p & c) and all the nexus at max.

Such a wonderful person. She had such a tough time recently with illnesses. I am glad her beautiful spirit is now free of pain. Love you always Candi...

another advertisement to visit the site for the UGGS Outlet Store.

thanks for all your hard work moderators. I am glad it is only in the HELP ME section.

Here is a random question out of pure curiosity... I mark all the forums and sub forums in this section (skills) as read. A few weeks later they will show up again as unread even though there are no new posts? How does this happen? Only happens in this section of the forums. Not really important - just wondering.

I had the same problem. Also have the same problem with Tahraji Desert map. Replaced said maps with BS versions.

great idea!!

I love potioning first. I consider alchemy and harvesting as a basic skill - part of daily life in EL. My second favorite would be crafting. I would put summoning last - really boring!

Yes. we need a poll. I agree. I joined this game because I do not want to play a game with fighting and killing. I am strickly a harvester and mixer, except for the Haidir dialies. In August I reset to redistribute my attributes in a better way. I had to spend the whole month of August fighting creatures 24/7 in order to level back up to my pre-reset OA. This is not how the game was advertised. It is wrong to ignore the other skills.

sounds like a good idea. needs some work on the details though. I'll start off the suggestions list..... less food consumption global --- 5k gypsum, 5k Feasting potions, 15 Oranges faster dailies global --- 5k gypsum, 50 Refined Vegetal Mixture, 5k rabbit fur, 1k dung 15 Grapes edit: could someone list all the globals we currently have. I know we do NOT want the 'more special days' daily.

Thank you for the beautiful maps, Olivine. I successfully installed the low resolution version on my old mac. edit Sept 24. I just discovered that the EVTR cave map does not work (all white). I successfully replaced that 1 map with a Bloodsucker map. just FYI.

just wondering if anyone else is having this problem today. I can connect to gmail, EL Official site, EL wiki, but not to the game itself.

yeah!!!! \o/

guild project to get 1 nexus point for each participant. need 50 hyrdo bars for each member of the project.

here is what I got from Time Converter website. The first table compares Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) New York City in the summer to where I live and GMT. The second table compares Eastern Standard Time (EST) (winter on the eastern coast of North America and Panama all year) for the same. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** New York (U.S.A. - New York) Saturday, 20 July 2013, 11:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours New Delhi (India - Delhi) Saturday, 20 July 2013, 20:30:00 IST UTC+5:30 hours Corresponding UTC (GMT) Saturday, 20 July 2013, 15:00:00 *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Panama (Panama) Saturday, 20 July 2013, 11:00:00 EST UTC-5 hours New Delhi (India - Delhi) Saturday, 20 July 2013, 21:30:00 IST UTC+5:30 hours Corresponding UTC (GMT) Saturday, 20 July 2013, 16:00:00 *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** See y'all there!!

about 2AM or 3AM July 15th for me. (GMT +5:30)

quoted from wiki English: Today, there is a chance that when you use an item, it will not disappear from your inventory. Role Playing: For reasons unknown to us, perhaps a time space anomaly, some items do not dissapear after being used. On this day, any food, book, potion, ring, or other consumable product has a chance of giving you the benefit of having used it, while remaining in your inventory. This is a particularly great day to some of that hunting (combat training) you've been putting off. sounds great! I understand the items saved when mining.... save a few steel long swords when harving wolframite save a few matter conglomerates when harving seridium ore or copper ore save some steel two edged swords when harving hydrogenium save some iron broad swords when harving dvarium but how do we save during combat?

I successfully re-installed Bloodsucker maps. Maybe my hardware and OSX are just too old. I re-installed BS maps by right-clicking EL application icon. I selected "Show Contents" from sub-menu. I copied and pasted the .dds files into the map folder that I found there. (Contents -> Resources -> Data -> maps) vert_de_gris and sable in game

Your point makes sense for ppl who play only for the exp. What about those who have FUN doing the dailies? No one is talking about the enjoyment of actually playing this game. The process is very enjoyable for me, not just the end results. I don't really want to level up rapidly. I rather have fun doing it. Edit: should have read on to page 2 before posting. Edit: I totally agree.
