Started sometime in 1994 when I was 14. One of my friends introduced me right as he started playing - no idea where he found out about it. Sometimes we would play over at his house with 2 8088 dumb terminals hooked up to his Pentium 90. (Although that initially got us into trouble, as we were accuse...

If you mean, are you still supposed to be able to fail a top-circle spell after the last firing of quick chant, the answer is yes. Or at least it has always been that way. Yeah. It's kinda depressing. Especially if it's a spell with a long casting time.

My story is not unlike the majority of the stories here. Back when I was in 7th or 8th grade (around 1993), I bought a computer magazine (might have been Computer Shopper) with a listing of BBSs in the back. I just lucked across one in my county of about 10,000 people that I could dial as a local ca...

Well, of course with the same limitations as I have suggested for mob->PC tracking.. And perhaps an even higher chance of failure. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Daz: <B> this = too much twinking to be put i...

Laxlez

I can't say I completely disagree to the change that was made in principle. It makes sense. However, in order for the tracking of hidden players to be feasible, some additional checks need to go in.. One simple way to do this would be to not allow mobs without sense life to track. Or, an alternative...

My votes would go for: 1) Guild MOTD 2) Abdicate group leadership to another 3) Removal of skill loss on level loss. 4) Ability to do a more accurate look into your bag. e.g. examine bag vial - returns all items with keyword vial that are in the bag 5) Make weapons have slots for applying poison so ...

Yeah.. not only outcast from _all_ towns, but make their starting point in Demi..

Laxlez

Well.. I think there's some faulty logic in thinking that 50k per restring would lead to hording of EQ and selling to newbies. There aren't that many players in this game.. Not compared to Soj1/Toril.. There aren't that many real newbies out there.. And if you're getting all the plats too, how are t...

The issue here is the difference between bringing a pet into a town (past gate guards) and raising a pet inside a town. You can do the latter in both DK and BS, but you cannot do the former. As far as I know, every set of _gate_ guards in the game will attack things flagged as spirit (undead, shaman...

I think that helpfile dates back to when trolls/ogres could still be mercenaries and would have had the backstab skill. However, giving them backstab was just too insanely powerful due to their immense strength, so it was disabled.. My history may be a little off here, but I think that's the gist of...

Rofl.. I got a flyer for the Puffy AmiYumi show in Chicago when I went to a different show here about a month ago.. Certainly cought my attention, but not enough to make me actually pay to go see it.. Now if it were Morning Musume.. hehe

Whyyyy back in my day.. We had to drag our corpses from wherever we died back to Ghore.. Through the rain and snow.. Then we had to drag them up to the Ancient Ruins.. Through the rain and snow.. And then the one outcast cleric would resurrect our corpses. If we were lucky! And zoning.. Forget about...

Laxlez

But it's not about balance. It's about yumminess! Mmmm.. Boo Berries! But really, I don't care whether Evil is harder or not.. I had a ball playing Soj1/Toril as a troll.. And I've had a ball playing in this much easier atmosphere. It's obvious that at the very least, Evils are supposed to be easier...

Yay.. they took away the one thing that made solo exploring / assassination attempting fun/feasible for me. So I guess now when I find something that would be fun to assassinate, I'll die for certain instead of escaping with 100 hp. I'm not really mad.. There's no reason to get mad.. It just saddens...

Man.. I wish I would have paid better attention when I was doing Thorn/Faelarae yesterday.. I noticed that I wasn't hitting very often, but had condensed on so I dont know how often I was actually hitting. Maybe since they killed all the archery damage, they felt they needed to gut rogues too? (that...

Restrung, commonly worn, yet not awesome eq.. It gets boring seeing hitters with a deco, 2 tgs and a tf chain (though thankfully a restrung tf chain is already in the game). Variety in appearance is always good. Make it harder to get than the normal eq too. For instance, a restrung deco eyepatch doe...

I think that all rareloads should always load, load near DK or WD, and repop with the items. This would solve all of our problems by making everyone happy and preventing "twinkiness."

-Laxlez

Laxlez

Soooo.... It's simple.. Just make glance not break hide and leave the rest the way it is.. And for those of you who think sneak/hide is broken.. Keep in mind that we don't have jack for hitpoints.. For instance, at level 50 naked I have 369 hp.. With eq, I have 425 or 467.. If I get hit after openin...

Laxlez

And while you're at it.. Could you make glance not break hide either. That one really doesn't make sense..

And it would be nice if acc didn't.. but that something I can deal with..

Oh.. and sense we're talking about disguise, I just want to point out that it took me 4 kits to get disguised twice.

Laxlez

So yes.. If you're disguised in DK (whether you're disguised as goodrace or evilrace), you get pounded on by _all_ guards.. But it doesn't signal an invasion like when a goodrace character enters DK. So.. What disguise does (as has been said) is change your alignment to good (regardless of race) and...

Using the OS X shell and TinyFugue, I'm having trouble getting black text to display properly. The terminal always interprets it as the same black as the background, and thus it can't be seen unless the terminal background color is changed (I would prefer to keep it black) or I change the way the bl...

Not saying in particular that I want the spell in the game, but rhough I'd throw this out.. It could be made an illusionist spell.. and dragons/demons could be unaffected (see through the illusion) and so could mobs that succeed at an int check. What effect this would have on players, I don't know.....
