"G'Quan wrote, 'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul... that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities; it is against chaos, and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against ...

At Eternity\'s Behest

Awaken , the voice echoed, resounding with an understated authority, masked by an almost maternal gentleness. Awaken! it repeated, slightly more forcefully. The elf lay in the eternally fertile and enchanting fields of the holy plane Arvandor, surrounded by clusters of rosebushes, the tears of Hana...

Tossup between inferno and moonwell. The excitement I felt when I got both is pretty much equal; inferno for being neck-and-neck with Mplor for solving it, and well just because it was the first time I'd hit 10th circ. I was so excited by getting well that I worded home immediately and shouted solic...

As far as I know, the succubus on eth doesn't use 'charm person' as per the spell at all. My theory when I used to go up and beat on that thing for fun was that int was the main thing that affected whether you were charmed or not... I had ~115int+elf race modifier, and I was charmed no more than onc...

Nah, major para is and always was fine. It doesn't dissolve once the target is hit, so, this bug never affected it (at least, in the time I played).

Actually, Malacar, I think it was added early or midway into Soj2... I don't think it was originally part of the spell list. And yeah, we don't get blacklight burst either, which is fine by me, both for the reasons Lyt stated (interactions) and because it did so little damage to begin with, it was m...

zMUD 6.16 stability problems

Just wondering if anyone else here has dealt with frequently corrupted settings files? Mine keep getting corrupted and whenever I restore from a backup it's only a few days before they're corrupted again... it gets quite tedious. If anyone's experienced this and knows how to remedy it, I'd be most g...

It's always been like that... it's the same with fly, you can still be knocked down. It doesn't make much sense (with levitate maybe, but fly? not really) ... I suppose it might be necessary for balance issues (ie, quakeproof the group by flying everyone in fights where quakes are necessary, like th...

I've often thought about this myself. When I was a newbie, I'd try and ask my guildmaster things, thinking it was a logical place to get started. I agree with Zoldren's points about how massive Soj is (not a bad thing by any means, but it is a tad daunting sometimes when you have to search for a pro...

So many to remember, so I'll just stick with the ones who helped me out when I was just a lil' druid, at least 25 levels away from becoming the jaded taxi that I eventually turned into. :P Janden (I feel weird calling you that, given all the other names I've known you by...) - for experience, advice...
