Ahhhh, thanks for all the tips. I had previously understood the UD to be a somewhat pitiful thing, didn't know it was so developed already.

I'll have to lure more ppl to the Drow Side and invite some trolls and ogres down there. Maybe they'll get lost *cackle*.

Harthorm

Hehe, maybe all you former drow could give a drow wannabe some tips on playing the race? Drow are mucho +style but blind on the surface, eh? This might not be a problem when Menzo comes in and there's better UD zones for the deep dwelling races, but how do you deal with not being able to see half of...

Harthorm

I won't be coming back, since I never played a drow, but I'm pretty sure I'll put in an appearance as one of the newer drow crowd. Especially with Menzo around the corner.

Can somebody post the log of Go to Bed Bob? I recall it being freaking hilarious, but I lost my copy

Hehehehehe

BGR is what I would call a proper zone (it's tiny, but it is a zone) as compared to a connecting area. There were maybe 5 mobs on the road to MH from WD. Not a zone.

Harthorm/Twiblin

Harthorm

Ahhhh. I never played a pallie to high enough level, but what incarnation of Soj was this in?

Harthorm/Twiblin

Harthorm

Eh? I've been around for a loooong time, but what the heck are paladin griffons?

Harthorm/Twiblin

Harthorm

Aight, I just gotta throw my opinion in here. I've resisted the whole artis discussion, but this is less controversial, so here I go! Kyos, you say that when running from WD to IC you stopped to read the descriptions. How many times? Not more than once, I bet. I agree that not stopping and reading t...

Harthorm

Cyric/Shev/Mask: Thanks for info. Another quick question. Will a drow still be able to start in Mir once Menzo is in? As for the size of Menzo, it looks amazing. If the zone is on par with Baldur's Gate for descriptions/mobs, then I can totally understand the amount of time this has taken. I'm defin...

Harthorm

If (when

) Menzo comes in, will existing/new drow all be relocated/started in Menzo or will they have a choice of starting in Mir as well as Menzo?

Harthorm/Twiblin

Harthorm

I'd heard +1 +1 as well. Then again I never saw it personally, although we did try to get it a few times. *snicker*

Harthorm

Hmmm, as for rangers killing animals, what do you think they've done all their lives, eat grubs, roots, and bark? Just saying in a rather sarcastic way that I agree with most of the posts above. Experience for picking locks, solving quests: EXCELLENT IDEA! I don't think it would be unbalancing at al...

Harthorm

That would be nice

Of course it would probably arrive first thing in the morning just when I start work and I'd have to suffer a very long day before I could connect.

ROFL. Holy Word. Every time I think of Holy Word I remember using it in SS to do alignment or just cuz I was bored. Otherwise, that spell never got used by my. Unfortunate, since I think it was one of the cooler spells a cleric could get. One time, I was in SS holy wording the sh** out of everything...

Coke, Pepsi, water, Kool-Aid, whatevah.

If I'm zoning I usually just lick the sweat from my upper lip because I forgot to get something to drink before we started.

To quote Blizzard, Bioware, Shiny, and pretty much any other developer out there: "It'll be done when it's done".

Waiting sucks, eh? I wouldn't mind seeing a news page update, though.

Here's my take on it: Let's say you were on vacation in a beautiful and exotic place (without Leonardo Dicaprio) and you met a beautiful, intelligent, downright amazing woman who you had a chance to get with. This wonderful woman knows you are on vacation, you know you are on vacation, and in the en...

Harthorm

Galok, You're not an ahole http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif Anyway, I think the main point of this whole thread is to make a ranger more fun to play and add to their RP value. Obviously new skills are exciting, and tweaks will cause the class to become more ranger-like. In the end, giving range...

Harthorm

Obviously everyone here would be pretty upset if something like that happened. All I can say is who knows what the future holds. We might all be on the cusp of lvl 50 and the Imms could decide to take it down. It's their right, and it sucks for us, but they had valid reasons last time, and I'm sure ...

Calgary, Alberta... in the Great White North of course.

Harthorm

Navia, I played a druid for quite a while in my early years on Soj, and I think most of your ideas are right on the money. All of those skills/spells would further the value of a druid. As you mentioned, a druid is an engine of balance. Right now, except for some of the higher level spells (I never ...

Harthorm

Well, I think being able to see stats will cause people to roll for less time. Here's my reasoning: If I can see that I have, for the past 10 rolls, only gotten 3 stats 75+ consistently, then I know that it isn't likely I'll get 4 stats 75+. Therefore, I'll be more likely to accept a roll with only ...

Harthorm

Did this actually work, Pheten? Soj being !PK, it seems that it shouldn't. You might accidentally kill somebody with it, right? http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/wink.gif Who knows, I never grabbed a poison ration at any time on the MUD in my 4 years of playing. ROFL just another thought... maybe we can l...

Harthorm

Hmmm. This reminds me of an article I read in a PC gaming mag about an RP'er on EQ who apparently role-played too well. The player came up with a background story which was apparently very disturbing, but fit the character he intended to play (a necromancer I believe). He was banned from playing EQ....

Harthorm

Well, I wish I could remember my stats from some of my chars. I think the best set of stats I rolled was for a ranger during Soj2. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember a time when the roller was made like hardcore tough. After a while it seemed to be a little easier. This is all sinc...

Harthorm

Izzy and Saitcho, 'Vokers will _always_ be churning out more dmg than a ranger. Remember a 'voker usually casts areas that will do ranger equivalent damage to everything in the room. A ranger can only concentrate his attacks on one mob at a time. In this way, even if ranger dmg was "equal" to 'voker...

Harthorm

DOH! Yeah, Trel, I meant to type spell. I guess I was on crack a little

Harthorm/Twiblin

Harthorm

Seeking: Trel, isn't this the whole purpose behind having better range weap/archery skills? So you don't miss and send strays out? I could see seeking being a valid skill if it would track a mob for a small number of rooms. For example, you've been fighting a mob and it flees when it gets low, inste...

Harthorm

If you're interested in soloiing, warriors are good for the early levels. If you don't want to spend alot of time getting eq for higher level damage though, conjurers, shamans, and invokers are usually sought after for groups once you get past lvl 21. It takes a while if you have to solo a caster hi...

Harthorm

Yeah, I always found that to be a problem, too. One other, somewhat related and somewhat off-topic idea: Let us label our spellbooks. We could already write notes in Soj. before it went down, would it be so hard to allow this on a spellbook? This would help when you've got multiple books (for backup...

Harthorm

Averyn, Insect Plague is one of my favorite spells from BG2 (or 3rd Edition, if you prefer; not sure if it was in 2nd Edition). This would be an excellent spell for a Druid's arsenal, as it behaves pretty much like silence, but allows others to cast spells in the room. This might not be needed at hi...

Rags, you always did have a way with words.

Checking the website and forums is almost as much of a full-time job as MUDding.

Wow... it's interesting reading through this thread. It looks like those who played Soj/Toril in the past all had bright futures http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif As for myself, I was in my last semester of college when Toril went... on vacation. At the time I was working as a technician at Vood...

I was "hacked" once, but that was a simple case of using a friend's comp to logon and them checking the command history for my password. I've never heard of nor been seriously hacked before (my friend was spending a bit of my cash, but I smacked him around and managed to get the cash back in return ...

Ruhr, I never played on Soj as a high lvler for most of the time that those you speak of did, so I don't know the circumstances of how/why they got some of their items. As has been mentioned before, Soj3 is supposed to be completely unbiased by the Gods and everyone should have an equal opportunity ...

Harthorm

I think what it really boils down to is giving the rich people something to spend their money on. In the end, having that house/castle, and other interesting things to spend money on will even out the economy. There will still be those super-rich people, nothing will change that because some people ...

As long as I don't have to pay taxes. Yadir (and Co.'s) ideas have great merit. I'd definitely like to see some of that implemented (after the MUD is opened hehehe). I do agree there should be some sort of limiter on the total wealth of the MUD. At some points between previous wipes, you'd see insan...

With the advent of the online area creation tool, I'm hoping the Gods will allow us to design our own homes, etc. This would be ideal if we could have a stash or treasure room. And of course put in a few spanky guard mobs :) Now, assuming you will be able to create a home/castle/hideout/whatever, yo...

If it isn't an option yet, it should be easy to implement... as I recall, the name generator will produce a batch of names and then allow you to choose from them (by inputting a number from 1 to ?)... all they'd have to do was allow you to input a name at the same prompt as an alternative to the num...

Harthorm

Ragorn... All of these quest ideas are good :) The one that especially caught my eye was the alignment quest. It makes much more sense in a scenario like this: A ranger's alignment is low because of previous "unsavory" deeds, and to please his/her gods or maintain his/her status, the alignment must ...
