I don't see why. Just log in your "mule", drop stuff in a semi-private location, log in your other character, and get the stuff. To me, this all requires very little effort and coding storage containers into the game seems like it would largely be a waste of time that could be better spent elsewhere ...

Just IMHO, but I like that idea, Stars... would make for a much more interactive (and thus interesting) ig/oog system. But, if we were going to implement that sort of thing, it would be awful nice to allow spending practices to unlearn skills. How many practices? Maybe the same value your current ...

newbie asks: "so, what about classes?"

disaster answers: "We actually don't have classes here, only races. our skills are chosen on a per-skill basis, allowing for more customization of your character than just a set group of skills based on class. there are some "in guild" skills/spells that ...

Well see, some of us put much more creative effort into our afk messages ;-), and then don't change them for a really long time... and forget...

disaster wrote:yeah, i use an alt to check my afk message too. it's really annoying to have to do it that way though

I agree. *nod self*

*nod* I was going to link to it, DB, but it didn't like me trying that, apparently (got 404's etc.)
404'd!

I dunno... I always got a real big kick out of throwing fireballs at Big Bird...

I'm of the impression that gener-specific eq would be taking things a bit too far.

If Stars wants to wear ladies underwear, I say we let him. ;-)


(On a side note... I hate it when I post a reply without realizing there's a second page of replies it would be good to read before replying... but I ...

I'm a big fan of all three ideas.

I think the magical_resistance idea would have more of an impact if it also had the same % chance of causing damage spells to fail. (Or, perhaps more interestingly, resulting in a randomly-selected % amount the damage of an attack spell is reduced by. The thinking ...

Disaster: a skill toss that would toss a potion at an enemy, to cause teh spells of the potion to act on the enemy

Slart: Surely many/most potions must be taken internally for proper effects.

Divebomb: But that's the point... "many" potions are. Many are not. Since taking them internally now only ...

Alternatively, if the counts were reset on a per-boot basis, perhaps abuse would be less and the numbers more legitimate...

In either case, I'd suggest that

• number of levels gained and
  total (mud-wide) number of levels gained

be added to the original list, too. :-)

Enjoy the grow-back process; the itchy feeling gets much worse. (Assuming less than 100% exaggeration, that is...)

Cord: In the meantime, "purely aesthetic" doesn't seem entirely accurate, given that a good (flying) vehicle will run you 1.5 million... that's a lot of gold for a mort. They'd be a much more worthwhile (utilized?) investment if they would last a bit longer/not melt (or be less expensive, I suppose ...

Sozz: Timestamps on chath and heroh...and questh
AMystery: how about a time stamp a few channels, especially info and whatever newbies show on for heroes
More requests for timestamps - yay! I definetly second (thrid? thriteenth?) the idea of having timestamps show up in all of the 'h' commands ...

Well, this thread can also be used to throw out additional ideas for when the next boot comes around. And the boot after that, and the boot after that...
