  1. The game is going for 24 hours a day/7 days a week. However the one that banned you, if that is what occured is possibly not on at this moment. Finding chat logs and seeing who banned you takes time, much like misbehaving and wasting the time of moderators in the first place. I strongly urge you to use this time away by reading all the rules set forth in this forum starting with the ones above.

     

    Posting in Bans:

    1. Bans is to be used for the moderator who did the banning and for the person banned ONLY to post on their own behalf.

    2. An exception will be made IF a third party has relevant information/proof.

    3. All other posts by uninvolved third parties will be removed.

     

    Please only make ONE post here if you were banned. Multiple posts will be deleted and decrease the chance of you getting unbanned!

     

    All Eternal Lands forum rules still apply.

     

    And yes, that tone does not make anyone want to respond to your wishes any faster.


  2. Not picking up your bones is not a problem. Problems lie when people try to do bag 'art' and place various bags out in addition to other bags from monster drops. There is only a maximum number of bags in which each map can hold at a time, and extra bags being spammed causes major lag issues when they disappear and can cause people's bags they are working on to disappear as well.


  3. Specific rules of event:

     

    1. You are responsible for the ingredients given to you. If you lose it, go get another from storage or harvest the ingredient. Its the knowledge that you have gained from your quest riddle that is important.

     

    2. You can converse with anyone you want other than the event team to discover the answer to the riddles, however, riddles for ingredients only can be answered once. If you are wrong in the answer, you must take the bribe. No second guessing the riddles. Ingredients will be provided to you. Bribes you must provide to the NPC.

     

    3. All recipes will be different per contestant, so just because someone may state in channel the answer is one thing, it may not hold true to your riddle. We did this as there is a no secrets in channel rule, but people always state things anyway--not like you can undo a fart :D

     

    4. All contestants and alternates must join together to give ingredients to Jayden and get the prizes.

     

    5. Player listed as number 1 must get the first NPC question, number 2 must get the second, and so on. Not the same person is to interact with more than one NPC. We will keep track and wont answer the same person.

    For example: Pepperspray, Sin, and Zanadu will only meet with the first NPC. The second NPC will meet only with PoeTayToe, Asgnny, and Jason.

     

    6. You can stay together or split up. This is up to you, however, you wont be able to get the next location until after the previous riddles have been answered.

     

    7. The invasions are a free for all. Total maps are likely to be covered with invasions, so expect this. Not just your team has to kill, but anyone can kill these monsters. Each map will be cleared of monsters after the last contestant leaves the map with the ingredient in hand.

     

    8. Expect to die, at least once. The prize is big, so the sacrifice equals the reward.

     

    9. Have fun.


  4. I don't like this idea at all, hence I voted no.

    On the surface it's a novel idea, but in practice I feel it will only create more abuse. Why can't this be done by a few NPCs?

     

     

    Or pop up tabs.

     

    Half the people, I doubt know how to interact with an NPC.

     

    This is why I suggested a second NPC off of IP in which the first NPC tells them about the second one. IP is already overcrowded, so having many more players on IP will be hard to control with lag issues on one small map. DP is a much larger map and would work great with a NPC. Those that have just worked with a NPC on IP would know how to work a second NPC--they cannot forget that easily, can they?


  5. Interesting idea.

     

    I would like to make a spin on this. Have the Tutorial NPC send them to a second NPC in like Desert Pines--as most of the stuff they may need is in that map and it is still safe, even during autoinvasions. Guild members or those that want to help the newbs along, give them supplies for the jobs. The NPC sells the tough to get books from Naralik and PL (pre-reqs, mining ore to mining silver, mining all crystals but not any of the gems). The NPC teaches about the Nexus as to what they need. Even if guild members are not in the area, they would still be able to get these books, provided they are working toward their goals. Perhaps have a lvl in a skill (harvest, alch, pot) shown to trigger them as true scholars and not a easy way to get books. Books can even cost a bit more here, as the risk getting them is less.

     

    Perhaps even have an opportunity to sell the items to the NPC for discounted book rates--NPC says make 150 FEs and sell them to me and get silver mining for 1500 instead of 2500. Regardless, they will see that they have to work to get the goods.

     

    As for scammers, new scammers are found quickly and this would give guilds a chance to see their behavior before they enter guilds.

     

    Just a though.


  6. Hi! (hope that I'm signing up in the right spot.)

     

    Signing up Team Alch~

     

    1.) Zanadu ~ ALCH

    2.) Jason ~ ALCH

    3.) Rappa ~ ALCH

    4.) Loricat ~ ALCH

    5.) The_Knight ~ ALCH

    6.) Boognish ~ ALCH

    7.) Chiapet ~ IRON

     

    Considering that the contest is still a bit away, and should real life prevent a team member from being able to participate.. do I reserve the right to edit my team before the deadline?

     

    You have the right to edit all you want before the deadline. :P


  7. Worked for me Sprint USA

     

    But I can just picture me standing in an aligator infested swamp and I get the notification. The message alone, would probably set the aligators off and make me their next meal. May be good for some, but I do have a life away from EL as well.


  8. Here is an event to include many people. It is a TEAM event. In order to be in a team, you do not need to be in the same guild, or even in a guild. But you MUST be in the team to compete. We will run this thread for any and all teams to post, but the deadline to post is Oct. 27th at 9pm EST. You are to post your team members in order of who is competing first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. You are to also post 2 alternatives in case some member does not come on-line at the time of the event.

     

    Basically this event will play out like this:

    Jayden is making a potion to be used to stop the invasion creatures from rising and attacking all. She sent out 5 followers to get the ingredients, but they have not returned. You need to find these followers and bring the ingredients back to Jayden so the potion can be made.

     

    You will be told ahead of time who you will be looking for. However the place will be in riddle format. When the first person on your team finds that NPC (our event staff) they are to speak to them in their location. They will be given a riddle of the item needed for the potion. That player must tell the NPC in PM what the riddle means to get that item. If they are wrong, or do not know, an easier riddle will be given as a BRIBE for the answer. If you are given a Bribe riddle, it is your (and team members) responsibility to figure it out and bring the NPC that bribe item to find out what that first riddle means. Then you will be given the item for the potion and a riddle of where to find the second NPC. The second member of your team must then do the same of either figuring out what the riddle means or to figure out the bribe riddle once you FIND the next NPC.

     

    This will continue until all 5 members of the team have the ingredients needed. If you happen to drop the item, you must replace said item, as it is your responsibility after it is given to you. Feel free to talk amongst your team mates to complete the tasks at hand.

     

    Now comes in the tricky part. These places may be either in Seridia, Irilion, or both. So get ready to explore and find all that lurks. And since Mortos is not happy, you will have invasions in between your destinations--as he wants to stop this potion from being made.

     

    The first TEAM to give all the items to Jayden wins a NMT cloak, each. But the team must have all the right ingredients to win.

     

    Good Luck.

     

    Time of event is 3pm EST on Saturday, Oct 28th.

  9. The Event team is gearing up for Halloween and its time for you all to plan for this as well. We will be holding a large event for the weekend before Halloween, which will be announced a little later--we are still working out some details, but on Tuesday night (Oct 31st) when the moon is bright (in game) we will be having a ghost story contest in a convenient little tavern near a local cemetery. So start planning these stories now.

     

    Rules:

    1. Use English (no leet allowed).

    2. Nothing to cause flame wars allowed or will be tolerated.

    3. Be original.

    4. Please, nothing too long--500 words max.

     

    Time will be officially announced in game.

     

    If these stories do what they are intended to do, who knows, we may actually be able to raise spirits from their graves on Halloween night. :D

     

    Prize: Winner of the best story will receive a Warlock cloak.


  10. Sounds to me like the spider dropped a bag on a death bag in which he picked up. Did not sound like a purposeful event. Okay, so spiders dont drop leather gloves, but up until recently, snakes did not drop rare books, fluffies did not know what NMT cloaks were, and several other creatures did not drop the loads of stuff they drop now. I am not taking sides, I dont know any of the people involved, but I do know stranger things have happened and this is beyond something to ruin one's reputation over, whether it be BruceMorrow's or your own. Needless to say, mistakes happen. If you can't kiss and make-up over this, then at least realize this is just a game.
