> There were gazillion of discussions about language rule, and all of rationale has been explained - use search. Yeah, but the explanation sucks, and is really completely unpersuasive. Saying something that doesn't make sense 100 times doesn't magically make it make sense. The fact that this discuss...

At some point, a number of people became convinced that there was too much 'inflation' in the game. This seemed to involve two separate concerns: (i) the full armor set was too easy to obtain (ii) the price of rares (e.g., top hats) was going up Almost every attempt to control these problems has res...

Just as a follow-up, I would like to point out that the cost of ferry-rides disproportionately affects lower level characters, who are more likely to need to move from town to town, rather than higher level characters, who tend to stay in Hurnscald. I therefore doubt that ferry rides could ever be e...

I have to admit that I am still mystified by this whole discussion. In what sense is there too much money in the game? One problem that some people talk about is that some rares are going for truly catastrophic prices. I don't see how this is a problem, though I've never really coveted rare items. A...

I do like the idea of there being some way to defray the costs associated with the running of the server, if such costs are in fact non-trivial. I would gladly contribute. I'm inclined to think that such costs could probably be defrayed from voluntary contributions alone, without the need to connect...

And while you're at it, the weather in Chicago is a little chilly this morning; could the GMs please do something about that?

If Slicer posted some sort of public apology or explanation for his previous behavior, it would probably go a long way towards restoring confidence in him. I would gladly and sincerely accept any such apology. Until then, it's hard to assume that the leopard has changed his spots, and his unbanning ...

Well, because I'm affected by all this my opinion probably shouldn't count for too much, but I do like the idea of some sort of 'hall of fame'. There's a lot of history in this game - there are a lot of people who have stayed around for a while and been involved in helping other people, and a hall o...

well ... I think the main reason people are buying bones is because they think something better awaits them at the end of the quest That won't last long ...

Fair enough. I look forward to the next part of the quest then.

50 bones gets you a measly 5k gp and 50k xp? Is this some sort of joke?

It is pointless, and confusing, and hilarious.

Thanks to everyone who joined me for my 'leveling' yesterday. It has been quite a journey. I once thought I would be happy reaching level 99 alone, in privacy, maybe killing some maggots, or soloing in the scorpion room. But as you play, you get to know so many wonderful people - your goals become t...

I too would like to be a GM. I once [insert story here]. I am very [adjective] and [adjective]. I believe that [insert wise sounding adage.] Unfortunately, I also understand subject-object agreement, and the distinction between adjectives and adverbs. While this is not a typical characteristic of GM...

For what it's worth, it does sound like the incident with Troll was no-one's fault, but just a case of bad timing and the server going down.
