It also would be nice to have the #list_guild fixed.

In WTF, please make it an outside map so we can ride horses in it. It's a long walk to the casty from the beginning. (Interestingly, it still does rain in there.)

Never take for granted the people that have touched your life; you just can't know when they won't be there anymore. She was far too young. May you finally be at peace, Hatty.

Wow that's neat, thanks!

"Elaborate Furthers" 5. Change the rat in the outhouse back to something more dangerous(elaborate further) It used to be an mb. Not too many could handle it then. I think now people would be jumping for joy if one spawned. Barring that, a polyphemus? A neno? Something worth the effort of gearing and going and possibly dying if you're the harvester who spawned it. 11. Some more variety in the instances?(elaborate further) -As an example, in the ice instance, it would be nice if we randomly got different maps than just the ice map every single time. Just using the maps already created for the other ranges and sticking the ice mobs on those would be great. -Maybe add some more mob waves into each (making drops and specials worth the extra effort, of course). There is so much walking and so much unused map space. Again, using ice instance as my example, maybe throw in two extra waves (breakers? red dragons?) or a random chance of getting a boss-type thing to spawn such as a casty or neno. 18. Make snare hold time a little longer(elaborate further) Change from the current 2 second hold to 4-5 seconds, similar to a ring of disengagement. Two seconds is not sufficient time for snares to serve a meaningful offensive or defensive purpose in PK or PVE. 28. More animal/mob tokens--they're fun! (elaborate further) -Wolf token: add 3-5 minutes or so of running (no food needed) -Yeti token: add 5 minutes or so of cold protection

Looks like you were right about the xml parsing. My update today included "upgrading" libxml2 (libxml2-2.11.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst) and downgrading it to the last version (libxml2-2.10.4-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst) lets me log in. Son of a gun, I'm so sorry for wasting your time and thank you for trying to help me.

[sb@arch strings]$ md5sum console.xml b635aa251c0d017e095fba0cc3118bca console.xml The contents look okay to me.

rules.xml is in /home/sb/el_linux/languages/en/rules.xml and yes I can access and read it. spells.xml is in /home/sb/el_linux/spells.xml and yes I can access and read it but it also is in home/sb/el_linux/languages/en/strings where the rest of them are located (I can read these too) channels.xml console.xml errors.xml help.xml options.xml spells.xml stats.xml titles.xml are all in /home/sb/el_linux/languages/en/strings and I can access and read them all.

Well here's the thing. I don't have an el.ini in ~/el_linux. I have separate ones for each character in ~/.elc/main or ~/.elc/aisy, etc. What's odd is I changed nothing... Also odd in my el.ini is this:

After rebooting computer after some updates, I can't log in to EL. I correctly exited the game, typed #exit as I always do, rebooted as I always do, and when I tried to start EL the same way I always do, I get a pop-up window that says: There is a rules.xml file, located in ~/el_linux/languages/en/rules.xml (and one in all of the different language directories) and it looks perfectly normal.

Of course it would be better but the global_filters method has been in use for over a decade by many people and is an excellent workaround if you don't mind a bit of work, and it's certainly better than nothing. It doesn't mess up sound alerts at all. I have both running quite satisfactorily.

The food bar above the player is available now but the catch is you have to be able to compile your own Linux client.

Thought that was you. Two of you? y0shi approved.

How about your yoshimoto account?
