Lightside Needs Help

[Elyse]

It's like trying to put a man on the moon with pre-WW2 technology, or something.

Maybe I was being too generous when I said pre-WW2. I should've said pre-WW1.

Elysia, wotmud's own Jules Verne! But thank you very much for all your efforts, even when they end up unsuccessful. We are grateful!

Here's another time waster, for your entertainment.

Since before the crash, I was wanting a fix for the auction house. I finally think of one. I check the auction house, deposit items, bid on them. I write mobol that records all transactions so abuse can be tracked. I wait out the 5 days it takes for an auction to expire, updating the mobol and generally polishing it. I try every command. All seems well. Spent hours on it. I'm confident enough to announce the re-opening of the auction house.

Then I try to pickup the test items and... apparently when the auction house was removed, Eileen also removed the parts where it loads the items that one has bought or the ones which failed to sell. Ergo, it is useless and only a coder can fix it. Likely, only Eileen can fix it.

I'm currently entertaining gruesome thoughts. Axes. Servers. *hate hate hate hate hate*

Maybe I was being too generous when I said pre-WW2. I should've said pre-WW1.

NOOO! OMG Elysia... I miss the auction house. I still have the room on my map (minus link) and every time I'm Caemlyn I think about it.

Thanks for thinking about it and trying to fix it.

Much <3

After though: failed to sells not loading isn't big deal.. could have dealt with that... but you kind of want the items you win

After, after though: can mobol load items? Could have mobol load new copies of the sold items... weapons would lose h/h (unless mobol could handle that also) and all items would be pristine that way... hrmm... probably not a great solution if even possible.

Eileen ruined the ways too, in the single biggest move to smite PK the breadth of the mud, so if you need an axe...

[Elysia]

Don't get me started on Ways. I spent so much time in there, trying to see if there was a rhyme and reason to it across boots, so if there was I could put hints in room descs or moboled, or... I tracked multiple paths and associated room numbers there for over 6 or 7 boots, I think.

How about turning in a stable ticket and naming the horse? That would mean a lot to a lot of people.

buy warhorse nancy
give ticket hand nancy

[Protus]

I think if anything needs to be done with horses it should be that you can stable and get your horse in any city. In other words, all hands take tickets from any other hand.

That would essentially result in razors/bloodstocks being freely available.

While the stable coding is partly mobol circumventable (totally coining that phrase) experience with Seanchan has learnt that it bugs out way too often and was subsequently removed, because horses are such a basic function of the game.

Can craft white/black tickets in Tear.

I think the map needs tightened up a bit. To that effect the ticket going to all stables would be ok by me. Because if we can't tighten up the zones then make horses good anywhere. At the same time I think troll moves need 100mvs increase, maybe 50 for rogues *peer* or a regain increase in moves. I think troll moves are horrible, and it's why I don't like DS. It takes forever to raid and I don't always have vials. DS moves regain on non remorts needs a big help. I think it was good for the game when you'd see DS down south raiding.

It would be a bump for both LS/DS in a way. You get to have a razor or bloodstock anywhere you want at a stable. And DS would be able to raid a bit easier. If only one of these could be done I'd put DS moves at the top though. I really do hate playing DS because of the moves.

So was wondering there's all these things that mobol cant do that coding can. What exactly can mobol do for us? I really don't know so curious. Maybe we could work with what we got lol.
