Replying to Topic 'my crit isnt gaining skill'

Well that's a theory ... reminds me of the phenomenon that everyone thinks THEIR watch has the CORRECT time ... "I checked with THIS trainer and he gave me my CORRECT skill" Other people show a continued advancement (whether CORRECT or not) ... which would mean that there is more to the st...

Replying to Topic 'Ment/FM memory crystals'

I don't think the subject required that much derision ...

but I think the more common USE of the crystals would be to subvert the intention that certain events wipe tp locations from ments/FMs memory.

I would be surprised to find that more tp locations would be more than a minor convenience.

They must not have any characters in any other guilds. Mars will set up a time
to tag from that. You must include a 4 letter name for your guild ( up to four ).
well these are changes ...

Is there a GOOD reason why it has to be 4 letters max?

The point has always been that enforcement is at best sporadic ... and those of us with the means to slap down rudeness don't like to go whining for help from Daddy.

Originally posted by Rosey I'm digressing a little here, but one of the things I think that has affected the community, and yes I know that Brad is on the verge of changing it back, is the inability of smaller players to join and create their own guilds.

Well I am late to the party again ...

I don't see why a player being blind should be immediately apparent to those around him ... what next? A color for a player whose IV has run out in darkness? ... They shout out "HEY! I can't see!" just as it should be.

I'm all for history: but I don't see that a tenured guild should not be required to come up with 4 pay accounts to stay active ... if the old guilds want to stay let them recruit like everyone else ... or become part of history.
