  1. I can go from Aeth Aelfan to Egratia Point but once in Egratia Point I cannot return back to Aeth Aelfan using that enterence.

    I get a "Get closer" message but I am practically standing on the sign.

     

    [This works for me, it's possible that the correct map wasn't in this pack however.]


  2. Your points on the mods are well taken, I understand that roleplaying is part of the game. But when does it cross the line, or maybe it never crosses the line? In addition, in the original post I was also addressing guilds and players to consider what he was doing.

     

    It crosses the line when it goes directly against the rules that everyone and accepted when creating the characters they play. EL Official Rules Until these are broken, mods hands are tied.


  3. 15. No Bag Spamming.

    Do not drop large numbers of bags for any purpose as this may lead to the bags of others to disappear and cause people to lose the items they’ve temporarily placed at their feet.

     

    What this means is do not drop many bags in a certain pattern (for artwork) or other purposes just to create a lot of bags. If you can put everything in one bag to drop, great. Each bag has ~12 min of life. If there are massive bags and they are all put out into the same location with many people around, all bags may suddenly *poof* at the same time--even the ones that others are using for alchemy and potion needs. The more bags put out there (spamming) the more likely that something bad (*poof*) will happen.

     

    I hope this helps.


  4. I have been having massive problems at the beam recently. Every time the fire goes out, my client closes. And it was not just me that has noticed this or had a problem, as Torg has seen it with me as well. May be coincidental, or may be something to it. That I do not know. Here are my error logs, but not sure if it tells you anything. However, each of these times I was at the beam and every time I came back on, the fire was out.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

     

    PS my drivers are updated, video card = Mobility Radeon 9000, Intel Pentium M processor 1600Mhz, 40G hard drive, operating system Windows XP. Also I run off a T1 connection.


  5. There is a point in this game where we may reach in which limits the amount of stuff one can make or have. And several varieties of wines I would rather not have, as then it would take away from having cool magic or weapon items. Each wine bottle would have to have a different look as well, and also be different from the mead and ale bottles. So although it is an interesting idea, I do not see it as a feasible idea. Afterall, its not like wine is hard to buy anyway.

     

    Just my 2 cents worth.


  6. Actually Molime did not offend me, as what was said was basically on target. But what was offending was that you are assuming my abilities as a dyslexic make me iliterate or at least unable to grasp important concepts. In other words, you are talking down to me as if I were not capable of looking up what hypothetical means.

     

    So to clarify this for you, dys·lex·i·a n.

    A learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words.

     

    I may be dyslexic, but I also know what hypothetical is and am currently working on my PhD. Try not to assume that a disability means one cannot try to better themselves through achievments and goals.


  7. Just my 2 cents woth...I am dyslexic. I have a very hard time comprehending what is going on on a normal basis. Does this make me stupid or illiterate? No. I just have a disability in which I try daily to get through and this gibberish is an insult to my abilities. I try very hard to write in a way that all can understand me. But I refuse to try to understand people that care not to type correctly. This is not the same as those that do not understand the language or have difficulty with English. But if you do not CARE to type correctly than I do not CARE enough to read it. Case closed.

     

    thats a pretty close minded thing to do. hypothetically (sp?) say you had a hearing disability. someone you knew had an accent that you had trouble understanding. 2 ways to go: they can change the way they talk, but that would be hard for them because they grew up talking that way; or you could try harder to understand what they said. i honestly doubt you would ask someone to change the way they speak just for you. thats a little selfish dont you think? lets all try not to get so emotional over things. :D it would really help the people getting offended part.

     

    But we are not stating that he cannot type correctly. He stated himself that he did not care to do so. If he is unable to physically, I have no problem and will work it out to a way I could communicate with him. But he is stating he does not care or choose to type correctly.

     

    if u mods and others would like to pay transcription rates for correct typing i will give my paypal address untill then if u'r so petty and judgemental not to read something (responding here proves u can) then that's u'r problemjudging ppl by their typing is very poor on u'r part it's not much different than basing a judgement on some1s race religion or creed - just because i choose not to type w/ correct grammar, punctuation, capitalization doesn't mean i can't nor does it mean that other ppl can't as wrong and just attacking a chat addict is NOT the way to bring about change in their behavior i'll go back and forth w/ u all day if u like being polite and judgemental asking politely might have worked had u not decided to attack provoking me this is a free game i'm not paying to play it so i'm nice enough to give a few suggestions here and there on ways to make it better since the devs are open to suggestions

     

    it is not a rule here to type in correct grammar and punctuation or even spelling so don't complain when ppl choose to type messages here like they were chatting in an IRC chatroom saving keystrokes and punctuation - especially since when using a keyboard set to US international u can't use most punctuation in the game neway figure by now u mods would b used to it

     

    i'll tell u what when the devs fix the game's chat system to accept punctuation easier for international keyboard setting i might use it here alittle more here as well

     

    Point is that I do have a disability and he chooses not to change for others like me because he does not want to, not because he is not capable of it.

  9. I ended up figuring out how to sit by mistake but I had been searching for the command to do it since it's not listed on the Commands menu in the help. Definetly should be added. :P

     

    Its amazing how many start a game before even trying to attempt to find/read the manuals/guides..

     

     

    http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/commands.php

     

    http://cypromfiles.bravehost.com/NewbieGuide.html

     

    and oh..thse guides are all to be found on the main Eterbal Lands site :)

     

    Have fun :blink:

     

    Jez

     

    What is so amazing??? Even the game itself states that many often do not use the manuals. Everytime I log in this is the message I get:

    Connecting to Server...

    Hi, and welcome to Eternal Lands! If you're new to the game and need help, please read the newbie helper guides on the main website. If you would rather learn by doing, talk to the Tutorial NPC, which is at the start point. In addition to that, you can type #help_me and your question to get a live response if there are helpers online. Click on the screen to continue!

     

    Reading the manuals is not manditory and although may help in some situations, is by no means a "cure all" for knowledge pertaining to the game.


  10. Follow along with me:

     

    Press "start"

    Look for the words "control panel" and click that.

    Then go to the icon called "performance and maintenence" and click that.

    Now click on "system properties" either from the bottom under "system" or from the prompt that says "-> See basic information about your computer"

    Now there should be a tab panel. Click on the tab called Hardware.

    Under the first heading there should be something called "Device Manager"

    click it

    Now here is the list of everything your computer has on it. Display adapters is your video card, but everything that you have should be listed there. Just list it here for the others to get you through this problem. Good luck :P
