    No, I do not have a complaint that there will be a small number of places I can't toss numbers after #invasion.  I've said multiple times that I *do* support a small number of places for that.  I do not believe that 1)this is a small number, 2)mods need your instructions, and 3)we need more rules.  I may possibly support all those side buildings you list as being classified as "Usually safe but not 100% so".  Also I would support better wording even for the "official" safe places, if that comes to pass, that clearly does indicate stuff could happen there but it won't be aggressive without provocation (such as what you mentioned in your post immediately above).

     

    But a slow spread like suburban sprawl of "safe spaces" is just not a good idea.  I could agree with storages easily.  Yes of course people AFK while still logged in and probably nobody does it more than I do.  But the game should not be designed around AFK-ness.

    You are talking about adding rules to the game, not locations to the maps.  That's great you added that building in Ida cemetery but that shouldn't mean it MUST be now designated "safe" or a mod will get in trouble.  This smacks to me of making "community rules" official.

     

    Mods already work their tails off running these things and they are not all just Dump and Run.  I disagree that there aren't many hidden invasions.  Many run simultaneously to a big dump elsewhere.  There are contests with invaded mobs, sometimes only one or two in a building.  Sometimes there are invisible rats and they can be anywhere, even storages, and everyone is still safe.  If I remember correctly, there was a contest or two on a guild map that involved invaded mobs back in the day.  I've seen roleplaying-style invasions that involved some of the places you listed.  Isla Prima has had very very very easy small invasions and even had a dragon capped at 1 or something silly for entertainment purposes for the newbies. 

     

    Everyone is aware that I afk (and others as well) in all manner of places.  Thank you for outing that hidey spot. ;)  And yes, I have been hit with an invasion mob put in a house before.  But that is our choice and our risk. It's not like we have no other option (such as logging out).  And I would bet my character that even if this was to take effect in its entirety as you suggested here, we still would have people who did not log in/out or afk in one of these safe spaces and we'd be no "better" off than before we started, except now we've managed to make EL even more restrictive and have now turned away the people who dedicate their time to making creative fun for players.

     

    EL was a game designed with risk.  It is not a "safe place at all times" type of game.  I am not saying I don't think there shouldn't be any official safe spaces but there should be just a few.

    I don't have logs that early, I think the earliest I can go back to is somewhere in 2006.  We did lose all accounts mid-summer 2004, and everyone had to remake them.  Accounts are not deleted for inactivity unless they are completely unleveled.  Even then, those purges are far and few between. If you did play it and got levels on it, and it was after 2004, it should still exist.  I checked the names in your second post and there are no characters with those names.

    What you can do is use that link and replace Christopher95 with any other name you might recall and see if it exists.  If it does, a page will show up with your stats.  If it doesn't exist, it will be blank like this page.

     

    Either way, of course you are more than welcome to create a new character.  The game has changed a lot since then and it's a lot easier and faster to level up from the beginning.  You can visit the Newbie Tutorial npc right near where you'd log in, and there are skill "dailies" you can do every day to gain more experience/levels.

    I'm seeing no failed attempts to log in by you.  Are you posting here from your android phone now?  (Looking to see what IP you are having problems with as I see you have logged in from multiple IPs.) Also, what character did you try to log in with?  I see no failed attempts by AppleJoy.

    I don't see any characters existing for any of those three names, nor do they ring a bell with me (I've been here since late 2003). Could you possibly remember if you were in a guild (and if so, what one?) or some other names that you recall associating with?  We definitely would be able to poke around the logs for 2010 (and some years prior to that as well) but there is nothing for those exact names, nor anything with Reichelt in it.

    Do you know which version they installed? This thread is about the latest changes after the last release. 1.9.5p8 included the new data and this thread is what's changed since then. If that file was was not in the 1.9.5p8 client package, I messed up.

     

    He got it from the first post in this thread and said Windows 64 bit so I guess this one:

    Windows 64-bit executable and DLL files zip archive

    It's not there because that file was included in the data package for the 1.9.5p7 release.  I do not think it has changed since then.

    https://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands/releases/download/1.9.5.7/el_195_p7_data_files.zip

     

    Somebody just installed the client today and that file was missing. No idea what they did or how but they couldn't get the equipment swap to work and after looking through my setup, found that file and he did not have it.

     

    I'm wondering if the first post would be better to have "Files Needed" rather than "Files Changed"?  That's where people are going to get everything they need.

    This character was locked and banned in January 2017, along with many other characters (same person), after spending a good year spamming public channels with obscenities, game bashing, and other nuisance (understatement) behavior.  I'm not seeing how you could possibly have had any access after this happened.

     

    I don't even see you trying to log in to this character from this IP.  I only see you trying to log on to Dark_Ghost, hatred, and pysio.  The last time somebody tried to log in to Ataala was in 2017.  Are you trying to get this character back for somebody else?

    I can unban it but here's the problem: the first time you get your passwords mixed up or make a typo again, the server will automatically ban you yet again. Are you using one of bluap's clients that has the password manager?  I'd recommend setting that up first.  I'm not going to be here 24/7 to go into the server to unban you every time it happens.

    Hi there.

    I see no failed attempts by Ubbie.  I also see you have quite a few characters so either you are not reaching the server at all or you tried to log on to a different character.  Would it be the same IP you are posting here in forums from, or a different one?
