A world ruled by grey elves

Postby Glorishan » Thu Feb 15, 2001 9:50 pm

As some of you well know, Evermeet was quite the dull place. All too often, should a newbie happen to roll a grey elf, they would not last long. This drove away a great deal of potential long-term mudders. Any favorable updates to my personal favorite area of the MUD?

I forget...is there a warning for grey elves like there is for evil races when you roll a new char? If not, perhaps there should be a message so that the newbies glorishan mentions would roll a WD character instead.

Nope, no warning for grey elves. However, I believe all of the other races (ie: human) should be given a warning while rolling saying they will be deprived of that wonderful city of Leuthilspar.

Glor, have you considered writing a zone for EM? Image

Zones by Glorishan = not great. Never done them, nor do I have the creativitiy it requires. I'd be more than happy to make a return to EM and help out some newbies by answering questions and such, but that task would be oh so much more fun with a new exciting way to die. *wink wink*

Evermeet rules, and I'd gladly write a zone for it! In fact, I already started ! Something to compliment the Faerie Forest ... but not gonna give anything away in case I actually finish it and something comes of it !

I'm with Shevie, some dedicated Grey Elf needs to step up to the plate and do an EM zone. All wankers are currently busy, so it will have to come from someone new. When you are ready to answer the call of duty, email Cyric. If you need someone to guilt/armtwist/defraud/deceive you into doing it, email me.

Holy crap, one day back and I get about 2000 emails, leave me alone! Yes, I still exist. I just haven't been playing all of those other games in which you've all found so much enjoyment. And yes, I'll very likely come back to Soj3, at least for a little while to check things out.

Good to hear from you all, Waelos yer a putz, Yasden _\|/_ Spank Magnet of the Rising Sun _\|/_, glad you haven't lost your creative touch. Pip is every bit as funny today as it was a year ago :P

There is nothing wrong with Leuthilspar being your hometown. I remember when grey elven folk flourished there.

I believe that Waterdeep is too benign a city. Too many lazy people have chosen it for their residence. WD is located pretty strategically for a good portion of the goodie realm, true.

It in itself is a cesspool of lethargy and dispair. Spice it up! Make some aggro mobs there. Have those animals in the forest assist each other. Herds should pack together to protect their clan. Make the gates !pick.

Bring life back to Evermeet and the beautiful city of Leuthilspar. My first charater here was a Grey Elf and I fell in love with Toril because of the land's splendor and its denizen's attitudes.

Hrm, writing a zone for soj... sounds like something I could probably accomplish given my extensive work for other places. Perhaps with some prodding, and a little helpful insight into what's really needed, I could get to work.

Btw, my first char was a Grey Elf Ranger, and I know EM probably as well as Glor... specially since we are da best of friends.

Elves forever suckers.

< 37h/37H 15v/114V >
< T: Izarek TC: excellent E: rabbit EC: nasty wounds>

You gasp in pain from a furry, white rabbit's awesome bite!
You miss a furry, white rabbit with your pierce.

< 21h/37H 15v/114V >

A furry, white rabbit frolics in from the north.

gsay sh!t...a rabbit just walked in

< 21h/37H 15v/114V >
< T: Izarek TC: few wounds E: rabbit EC: nasty wounds>

A furry, white rabbit yells, 'To battle one of us is to battle us all!'
You gasp in pain from a furry, white rabbit's awesome bite!

< 12h/37H 15v/114V >

You group-say, 'sh!t...a rabbit just walked in'

< 12h/37H 15v/114V >
< T: Izarek TC: pretty hurt E: rabbit EC: nasty wounds>

A furry, white rabbit misses its nibble on your bum.
YIKES! Another hit like that, and you've had it!!

A furry, white rabbit misses its nibble on your bum.
A furry, white rabbit half kills you with his mighty bite!
You are mortally wounded, and will die soon, if not aided.

I was a grey elf ... damn YEARS ago ..

I remember my first impressions of WD .. OMG the SPAM!!!!!

I went evil (Troll) for a while and discovered the splendors of evil hometowns, the colrs, sigghts and ..(insert some imagination here) colors..

I have chosen to go evil on soj3 for a variety of reasons .... but I did roll an elf for old times sake ....

compared to Gloomhaven and DK .. Evermeet is BORING!!! It does need some revamping....

I have started a *newbie* zone that will go below Leuthilspar castle ... it will be colorful and have new sights and *sounds* ... I will submit as soon as I am done (will dikuedit transfer to Sojourn??)

-my 2 cents worth ...

I kinda like that there aren't many grey elves.. it sorta adds to the mystique and rarism of elves. If EM was like waterdeep and you did a who with the majority being elves, well.. i can't think of anything descriptive but i wouldn't like it much Image im not saying the place should suck, but it should be hard to be an elf!..and i'd love to write a zone but i dont' know who to talk to to do it.

Ahh, good old EM... I remember the very first time that I set my eyes on waterdeep... of course it wasn't as a level 20 elf, because I cheated and made an assassin. I must say that I like how EM is secluded... it gives us elves a place where we belong!

Anyway I'm trying to write a zone for EM, but I'm running into the problem of all the rooms being basically the same type (forest, plain, beach), and I'm having trouble coming up with room descriptions. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the base theme of the zone down, just looking to see if anyone can give me a way to come up with room descriptions short of building a random word generator.

Let's make EM into a wonderful place to live and play!

Surface Elven Scum *spit*

pray that you stay on that exiled island of yours where you belong. I have little love for your homeland and even less love for your pathetic faerie ways.

Remember this, that should you leave that floating slab of rock, you then enter my domain. I am not content to cower in a dark hole as your mythical legends seem to say. On the contrary, I shall bring my brand of underdark justice to your very doorstep, should it come to that. Your butchery shall not go unpunished. Mine is a path of vengeance, and i shall have it.

The shadows are mine to control, so beware faerie elfs of Evermeet. Your wrongs upon mine and my house shall not be forgotten.

Prepare yourselves.....

I think elves should stay on EM til lvl 41. Get supplies form Waterdeep and nick off back home again.

Oh I'm sorry did I disrupt your whining?
