Yeah, I have that CD Kwirl. What about it?

Waelos frightens me.

Ok, here's the deal: I want to hear what everyone has to say about Sojourn's combat system - what did you like about it, what'd you hate about it, what should be improved, removed, etc. Think it was too spammy? People got too many attacks? Not enough? Fights were too long, or too short? You get the ...

Great! They make better targets that way!

Yep, if you're registered at this board and used a CORRECT email address, you'll get an email when we go Alpha, and another when open for real.

It's certainly a possibility, we'll keep it in mind for future quests.

We'll probably allow existing drow to choose Menzo as their hometown when it comes in, yeah. Until then, all the little drow will be starting in Mir.

Wait until you see these rooms to make a decision regarding their quality. They're actually pretty damn good - as all the sentences that combine to form the description are of the same high quality found in other Sojourn zones. We are only using the room generator for zones that WOULD NEVER EXIST ot...

Somebody is going to MARRY Cardolan?

I'm so proud, son!

A spiked trollhide shield!

That's not actually my favorite item, but, um, my favorite one shouldn't be mentioned in polite company. Let's just say it had something to do with trollish birth control.

Glor, have you considered writing a zone for EM?

*duck*

An old family friend of mine sent me an email, and among other things, mentioned that he was now really into playing MUDs, but he didn't say which in particular. I knew about MUDs, but had never played one, thinking they would be hopelessly simplistic and boring. I hadn't played a text game sinc e I...

I'm PST.

And late at night is the best time to break the MUD - no witnesses...

It's an interesting idea, but ultimately more trouble than it's worth for Sojourn.

There are other ways to balance out races/classes.

Nah, that's reserved for very special occassions.

Otherwise it wouldn'tbe special!

My logic is astounding tonight, I know.

Unfortunately we've had to postpone the opening of the MUD until 2056, due to D2's overwhelming stench having caused the MUD source code to curl up and die a gruesome binary death. Heh. We're on schedule and things are going well, but it IS hectic, and I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I'l...

There are changes afoot with guild rules, we'll announce them in detail soon.

Gnome mercs?

Scuse me while I bust a gut laughing

SF Bay Area, California.

Uh oh, someone wants a tiara....

Not imp'd, and no plans to.

Soon!

Sorry, I've been pretty sick the last week, haven't had much time to keep up with these forums. I'll be posting more reguluarly soon, and we should have some code/news updates for you in the not so distant future!

Heh, I'd have to agree with you all.

Duly noted, we'll look into it!

Because of the astounding job he did with SOS2 and because the Staff thought it would be best if a player moderated this forum, we have made Brugg the new modator of this forum. I expect you all to give him the same respect you would a Staff member (tongue planted firmly in cheek). Thanks Brugg! -- ...

AOL was banned to new characters for quite a while, during Toril - and possibly pre-split, I don't remember.

And yes, per Miax, all bans but one will be lifted.

Well, this had most of the options we needed anyways, and I really don't have time to code my own right now - too busy with the MUD code. I may code some sort of module/hack for this though. Their email/digest stuff is cool, but I'd like somethign more versatile and most of all - automatic. Anyhow, ...

As you've probably noticed, we have upgraded to the full version of Ultimate BBS. There are many new features, though I've yet to discover them all myself, I must admit. http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif Anyways, if you have any problems or comments with the new version, please either post in th...

Weird, I don't see it in Windows - must be a Nutscrape thing.

Why I still use this browser is beyond comprehension. It's hard to claim rebel status for a product owned by AOL/Time Warner.

Sigh. Mozilla ahoy!

-- Shevy

It's dead, Jim.

Rut roh.

I wonder if the scripting confuses the UBB board and makes it think it's UBB syntax or something...I'll try and fix it.

Have you been playing Shenmue? ;)

Mob AI is being worked on, you'll see some significant improvements.

We may do something like that, yeah.

Silly IE. Just because a tag was deprecated years ago is no reason to stop supporting it!

heh. :)

You're using square brackets ([ ]) instead of (< >).

:)

Yes, it is a change.

Sorry, I seem to have totally forgotten to post the announcement about the new outcast rules to the website. I'll do so today.

It's a bit hard to get the hang of at first, especially if you're used to zMud. I found tf to be a great client after I got past the initial learning curve though.

Good luck! :)

Waelost rides again!

I have only one thing to say to you, Tagad:

~

A web link to the MUD helpfiles is something I have planned, but probably not for awhile yet. Got more important stuff to be doing.

Apparently someone said we're actually going to open this MUD at some point, so I have to actually finish my code.

What a gyp.

Just kidding.

-- Shevy

Don't worry. We're not fans of permanent eq loss either.

Might want to look into tinyfugue. I have no idea if it'll work, but it's the only other unix mud client I can think of atm.

Well, it's too early to make an official announcement, but I can tell you that the staff is definitely thinking along similar lines..

It will -NOT- cost money to have a basic storage "locker" in the inn.

It may cost plat to purchase a bigger storage device, but it would be a one-time fee to purchase the device, not a rental setup.

That sounds right.

If there any suggestions for addition, let's hear em. ;)

Antis are definitely still in the game, and a coder is currently working on upgrades for them which should make the Anti the well rounded class it deserves it to be. Details will be released sometime in the future. :)

-- Shevy

You are quite welcome. I have to admit though, I really only put it up so I could do this: <BLINK>blinki<FONT COLOR="pu...

Hmm, there weren't many zone-level fights I saw in Soj2 where the invokers had to re-mem during battle - and the times that they did was because they were generally following a non-casting leader that didn't like to stop for mems. Meaning the vokers had had to spread their spells out over several fi...

Hey now, I have a Mac too! And a windows box, and a linux box...they all have their uses. I've even written a fair amount of MUD code on a Mac...so thpthh :) I've used Rapscallion a little, but could never get it to be fast enough for Soj mudding...it had horrible problems scrolling battle spam and ...

Hmm...wrong thread. *boggle*
