Re: Nostalgia: Cheats you abused the hell out of
Epic bump. There was also the trade bug. So, Miax thought it would be a good idea to introduce trade into the game. Basically, you bought a cart of trade goods in Waterdeep and strapped yourself to it. Then you walked to Mithril Hall, very.. very.. very slowly. Each step was like 11 moves, and you h...
