We hear plenty about people whining about their classes, but really it has to be a love/hate relationship. Otherwise they'd stop whining and just play a different class :) So, just in case someone wants to take a positive slant, even if you think your class sux, let's hear what class(es) you love to...

Quests are great, rp is great, but the posts don't seem to be fully responding to the thread. ... boobs... i love them... and i think almost all men and some women will agree boobs are vereh good! It isn't PC, but I have to say, I agree. I like boobs. I also think that saying they are "vereh good!" ...

This seems like a very good idea to me. You should be able to tell while standing in a room if it is under the sky or not, and so whether you need to worry about the sun coming up. In general on the flip side, if a room is normally dark and I walk into it with a lit item, currently I can't tell unle...

... One additional danger to making quests doable once is that you start to create what I'll call a game script. A series of quests every character goes through in their life time as character development instead of for the development of their personal fortunes. I'm thinking of early Final fantasy...

I appreciate all the discussion. I am very interested to hear people’s points of view on this. My apologies for answering everyone at once, this is a novel... 1. Corth: You’re absolutely right, any code-based solution would have work-arounds. Even so, as Daggaz said, I would rather have people have ...

The Lord of Avernus is a fearsome site to behold. Towering over lesser beings, his bat-like wings lay gently behind him. His claws drip with a vile green liquid and his arms bulge with incomparable power. Covered in red scales from head to toe, two large horns jut from his forehead. His mouth is lin...

I think this topic was brought up a long time ago but I couldn't find the thread and don't remember how it died. It would be really nice to be able to read the help files without being logged onto the mud. *whap me* if they are available and I just couldn't find them. 1. The more info about the mud ...

What about limiting the ability of characters to repeat quests ad nauseum? This would give more opportunity for new players to find and complete them, plus would reduce eq flooding. Here's a couple of ideas: #1 - Each quest has a number assigned (1, 2...10 etc.), and each char may only do that quest...

Hold thy tongue, else I shall be forced to unleash the powers of Swiftpoof and Showtunesong upon thee! Of course, if it is a water room I'll probably use Arsewind x2 since it floats.

I was in the AF in January of 1995 when a friend (can't remember his character's name, but he was a bad-ass 6th level thief...Vadian?) introduced me to the game. I'd just gotten internet access at home, and this was the best thing since sliced bread, being a long-time DnD'er. I got my best friend (...

Is Starsong still in the game? Quested it a couple of years ago, don't have it anymore, wondering if it got the axe or something.

Congrats!!! Mud while you still can... those little ones tend to distract one from the online world. :)

LOL pardon me while I extinguish the flames, Dalar. No, I don't expect it to be a pkill mud. I wouldn't want that either and didn't really think that's what I was suggesting. Thanks for clarifying your point, in any case. I'm sorry that you found the idea so vehemently offensive. As I said, I was ju...

Hear you loud and clear, Shar. Dalar, not so clear. Just trying to think of ways to keep everyone happy given some recent heated dialogue on the subject. Thought I'd try to help by suggesting a meet in the middle option (however lame it may be). I personally have enough enjoyment from getting killed...

Vipplin

What about adding a "Please mess with me / Please I'd rather not be killed for fun right now" flag for characters? Maybe something they can toggle and you can see on the who list, or maybe imp'd some other way? This would allow for chars who want to be able to pkill each other in amusing ways to do ...

Preface: I’ve been out of the game for awhile, trying to squeeze it in again now between work and family but don’t have a lot of recent experience and so take this with a couple of grains of salt. I have read a crapload of the info posted by the people with recent experience, though. I think it is a...

That looked like a really fast way to lose almost 1k hps. *wince*

Vipplin

Lots of good ideas here IMHO. Here's my suggestions for an ideal solution in my mind (many ideas here also reflected in previous posts): 1. FLEE (panic-mode)- Instant results, no change in lag, random direction to include portals, modifiers to success rate should be number of exits, player level, pl...

Vipplin

I think the quest idea has real merit if the powers that be insist on fumbling by level 50 masters. Having !drop items be baggable would sort of kill the whole "cursed" idea unless a new flag for cursed items was added, yes? Of course, that idea has promise as well... maybe then cursed items could n...

Arguing with Christians is occasionally fun, but rarely productive. In order to be a Christian, you have to have something called faith. Faith is the ability to reach a conclusion without logical or reasonable evidence. Faith is doublethink, it's the ability to simultaneously hold two contradictory...

Although I didn't get time to log on for the multi-fun, I think I'd enjoy that just as much or more than Chaos. As for pbase effects of doing this more or permanently...

I should point out that at least I did NOT walk in on the casino owner shortly thereafter. I had heard of him before and his description from a room away gave me a clue. Yes, gnomes can learn!

Ok, so I've heard about people dying to big aggros in WD, but I've somehow never really bothered to map the whole darn thing through a couple of Toril incarnations.

I read two Barbara Hambly trilogies. I remember enjoying the first one, and then upon reading the second one, thought that the storyline was so similar as to almost be identical. My recommendation: only read one!

I agree that death should take xp equally from each mobs you have xp from. Trophy shouldn't change. Alternatively, take it from the most recently gained experience since that just makes more sense to me. Maybe hard to implement, though *shrug* if not please do! http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif ...

Number group members: Great idea. You wouldn't be able to rely on ppl keeping the same number due to ppl dieing/leaving and new ppl coming, but it would still be a boon.

Vipplin

Yeah, factoring in actual current weight of the pc would be cool.

I think the dragon at least shouldn't be able to do claw attacks in the same round where is buffets. One round of lag would seem realistic.

"We Were Soldiers Once... And Young" by Lt Gen Harold G. Moore (Ret) and Joseph Galloway. Great book about some of the war in Vietnam.

I carry about 450 arrows around most of the time.
