Re: So long and thanks for all the fish.

You'll be missed. (I haven't exactly been around much either, but the point still stands!!) Be well!!

Re: Something doesn't seem right about warranting rules

In light of the thread looking at things making lightside a hassle compared to ds, it does seem odd that the current warrant system provides such immunity to ne'er do wells. Dealing with a potential same side stab in the midst of cross-race pk is a tremendous pain. This is especially hard when the p...

Re: Scrooge is Screwing Up

Not at all bug-related, but my compliments to whomever put the Tom Lehrer lyrics on Scrooge. Makes me grin!! Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season to you all!

Re: What are things that make LS harder to play than DS?

I was ready to type up a pretty long post here, but (as is often the case for these two!) Eol and Naerin covered things really well. All their points are quite valid. But if I had to focus on one single item, I'd say that the fear of cross race communication is the biggest community killer for me on...

Re: A shard? A gem? What is this?

That was a really fun mob-raid! I remember that evening well. Tlaloc activities tend to be a blast. Though perhaps my favorite is when he asked players to insult him and the best insults earned lots and lots of pines to kill.

Re: Are players leaving?

This type of behavior in a player base this small is what often has me convinced that PVE awards, to the detriment of the non-standard player, are too large and must be controlled or nerfed. The problem with adding activities to incentive group hits or making rewards possible is that there is a sub...

Re: Are players leaving?

Like several others, the "I'm 39 years old and have important real world obligations" thing is reason number 1 I'm not around much. 40 is fast approaching! :shock: But having read through this whole thread, I do feel like my long-term decision to minimize my participation in out-of-game/non-forum co...

Re: Lugard Market

Everything for sale in the Lugard Marketplace is put there by other players. The game does not autostock items there. I forget if there's MOBOL in place to handle selling them (I don't think there is), but even if there is, hooked swords, which require 5 tokens (worth 250TP to craft at the retail ra...

Re: Why are absolutely any chances of enjoying PvE being destroyed?

I've been on an extended hiatus (just busy with other stuff; fully expect to pop back in at times), but have a couple thoughts on darkfriends and side balance. This is not drawing on personal experience from recent months as I've been absent, but I still think it has some relevance. First is that da...

Re: Getting back into the game, queries

As a not quite as old-school but still reasonably old Yellow Ajah Member, welcome back! I love that the ancient Angelfire webpage is still up with your bio. Mind you, I've been inactive myself this past year, but definitely starting to feel that urge to play!
