  1. Did you always want to be an all arounder?

    Having played single player CRPG's since the Apple II days, I have always tried to be an all arounder in every game I played that let me. I came into EL with that same goal in mind, but quickly found out that doing that can be very hard or takes a lot of time. EL from my view makes you interact with others. Looking back, I don't think you can do everything yourself 100% and level at a good pace.
  2. SR ctritical fails

    It will slowly get better as your level increases. At level 50 or so, I noticed I was getting about 95% and now at level 61, I'm at 99%. Keep working at it and you will see it get better
  3. SRS

    Love making them? you are a very sick person
  4. Vacation

    Hey! Get off the computer and enjoy your vacation!
  5. unannounced invasion

    BOOOOO!!!!! Just like that last invasion, I was at work. Like others have said. That blue, cryptic spam should be a warning. That and the cheers/cries from those around you celebrating/mourning.
  6. Yes, I use that as well. Of course, I have to remember to toggle F6 so I can read it
  7. I've been thinking about suggesting this for awhile, but for a completely different reason. I am partially colorblind, so whenever I am in a map with a desert colored ground in daylight, I literally can not see my health bar/numbers at all. I usually get around this by rotating my view till I find a spot that is darker, like rocks or grass clumps. Sometimes, that is not possible, so I take my chances. Yes, at times, that means I get a free trip to the Underworld. I was gonna suggest an el.ini section where one could specify custom colors for name, and health, but a toggle for a darker alpha would be less headaches.
  8. 3d-models needed?

    So true. I also use a 3d mechanical design package and have tried to use Blender and other artistic modeling software and it uses a totally different method of modeling than mechanical packages. And like Roja said, texturing takes alot of skill and then you throw in the proper use of lighting. Hats off to those of you in the artistic modeling world.
  9. What is your opinion about multiplaying?

    I voted no all the way for some of the above reasons: 1 & 4: There is no way to "win" in this game, so being the richest/most powerful PC is pointless. Every skill will become dull and boring. The only "winning" in this game is to have fun with your friends that you make here. Go play WoW or some other game if all you want to do is farm stuff. 4: As others have stated, the market would become flooded with cheap items and there would be a good possibility that the market would collapse or at least become a complete waste of time. The only thing that I would like to see as far as multi-players on one IP would be for family members to be be able to interact. LabRat summed it up rather well in his first sentence. I know there are a few other families that are affected by this issue.
  10. Day Jobs

    Tool Designer/Manufacturing Engineer/CNC Programmer and whatever else they throw at me for an automotive driveline manufacturer. Oh and I lurk in forums at work while looking busy
  11. Post your T-shirt ideas!

    Front: small EL logo over left breast pocket area Back: "Gnome - The other, other, other white meat" "Gnome - It's what's for dinner" "Mother Nature hates me" And I believe someone suggested this along time ago: "I found the Joker and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
  12. RC3

    I haven't had a fight crash as of yet since we started the RC tests, but I will compile a fresh client tonight and confirm.
  13. What good is a p2p race?

    Family fun is always good
  14. RC 2

    Aeth Aelfan 27, 41: hole in the map where you fall below ground level
  15. It's a Dragon!

    Thanks Cyprom for sharing
  16. What good is a p2p race?

    Damn ebul rich IRL slime Glad others do like I do And it keeps me out of trouble in bars and spending money on real swords.
  17. PKer Turtle

    That's unreal. I have never seen a turtle that agressive. The most agressive I've ever seen is where they are defending their burrow or a snapping turtle in the water going crazy. And stop giving Roja ideas
  18. Since this is an RFC for PK map change, all responses should conform to the RFC 2795 standard. This will help sort out spam, flames and valid responses. In all seriousness, it was nice when the north cave was non-pk for a very short time. It made going from NC sto to TG really easy. As far as multi or not multi, it makes no difference.
  19. Special effects

    I've seen that happen when changing desktops in Linux, as well as my floating EXP number counting up the times it's missed, and scrolling thru a map quickly from the spot I was in before I swtched to whatever position I currently am at. It's like the graphics are playing a fast forward to play catch up. Note: This has always happened, even with the official clients.
  20. EL PRE RC (windows only)

    Entropy, can we get a list of what compile options we should use for those of us on Linux/*BSD? I don't want to compile in an option that is still in testing and will not be used in the final official client. That way I don't submit a bug on something that isn't a priority.
  21. How old are you?

    I see you're regressing as you get older as well. My friend's daughter, who is 16, acts more mature than I do at times.
  22. Cookware

    As long as you don't use it against us menfolk
  23. How old are you?

    37 And you kids get off my lawn
  24. Spell of Physical Immunity

    That's a great idea masterpiter Poison, Life Drain and Harm have been changed to be level dependent, why not Shield. Scaling the increase would be tricky because you wouldn't want it to be too powerful. I used to use Shield all the time until I got about half way through ogres. Would be nice to use it again and get just a bit more protection from it. edit:spelling
  25. The use of hammers

    Big time. Makes harvest ingredients for summoning easy and quick
