Wheel of Time MUD

Interrupting bash is much worse than anything else because if it's just unlimited throws and damage you can calculate for it same as a weave or some other higher damage thing and play accordingly. But the bash interruption would just mean you should play it like being kicked and melee, except from w...

Is just like that story in Harry Potter when frodo becomes king of westeros after defeating baalzamon

Have used ignore extensively. Sometimes I put 90% of the who list on ignore! It does skew comms but then you can just type listen none and that sorts it out. It actually would be good if it was two-way because honestly it causes less confusion. And also there is always a trade off for being obnoxiou...

What if you could set a password if you have the quest item (which you can issue or something , limited amount) And then you say the password on any alt and it'll give it to you because it responds to those words And the quest item is of no use to someone who doesn't know the password. Can even be t...

I thought Moiraine just gated from 2R to TV. Hahahhahahaa ! Arston - I do think it is super sweet and awesome what you do for the game and new players. And I also agree with you that one of the most irritating things in the game is those near wizkill scenarios (for that level) when experienced PKer...

Eol: For why Sedai didnt use gate for pk - quite simply, a north pk setup requires fireball and you can't really prac gate and fireball and have viable pracs afaik. I don't know how fade pracs work but presumably it's not as much of a barrier (or it is and razhak ranks make it easier..idk!) It is fu...

I think Arston is saying that gate and zone sense are superfluous to good smobbers because even with newbies in the group, they can always stay ahead. And I think rig is saying that when gate is used it's basically no way for one side to interact with the other. So Arston is saying - it doesn't matt...

Okay my flight is just taking off so I have like ten seconds But yes we have gone through the newbie grind. It's amazing what people like tlaloc and nikky (blanking out on handles but you know who I mean), Markus, a lot of players including you Arston have done to help new players. Nalav giving me a...

Arston - am not saying people should feel forced to pk as their core RP. I'm saying that zone sense for AS creates a situation where, for many of them, they are almost always running away from PK. And from a fictional world of "good vs evil" that's a problem for RP. I take the point that in fiction ...

Haha, well don't want to get into an argument but my logic was purely statistical. If you don't have zone sense, you are typically -thrown- into a situation. You may have a heads up from a narrate, you may have backup or a large enough group, you may be out matched with no escape. If you do have zon...
