You said Unix, not Linux, so get yourself Solaris (http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/opensolaris/get.jsp).

What you do with it depends whether you want to learn as a developer or a sysadmin. In any case, use the command line, not the GUI. Read all the man pages.

All four have been found/quested. This tells me they're not that hard to find. It tells me that someone was told where to look and has passed the info on.

Is there any info as to where these quests are/start?

Quests on this mud are so obscure - much more of a pain than xping.

I think eq should just degrade over time, probalbly according to how much it is used. So armor ac would increase gradualy as you wear it in fights. Descriptions should change, e.g. slightly worn pair of leggings, a battered pair of leggings, a badly damaged pair of leggings. Repair houldn't be an op...

Spell quests are fundamentaly broken. Take ress quest: the starting mob sounds like a quest mob, but gives you no clue what quest. You first have to happen on that mob, find out it's a quest mob, then do the quest until you find out what it's for. Could take you months for the one quest - shame if i...

My fumble-fingered necro friend lost a glowing crimson dagger, probably in the temple in Scardale. Not sure exactly when, but in the last 2-3 days.

If you found it, return would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sunrises/sunsets don't come out right because the camera is trying to be too clever. It tries to make whites look white no matter what the light is. That means your red sky looks less red.

I've always found it a bit odd that rogues can sneak in the dark while carrying a light. Seems to me that non-ultra chars should be disadvantaged by the dark.

More differentiated bags, to help me organise my junk in my main bag. I don't mean super no-weight bags, just a green bag, a blue bag, a red bag (be more imaginative if you like) so I can store all items of one type (potions, scrolls) in a unique bag. Even cooler would be bags/containers named as "p...

I can't get a decent nights sleep. When I log a char for over a mud day, rented at the inn, it doesn't regain full moves (let alone hp).

Healing I can understand not being complete, could take more than a day that,but moves? I didn't get out of bed for 24 hours! No way should I still be tired.

Eshacin

It's a good idea, even if it couldn't take alts into account.
Would limit he scope for quest farming and also camping an alt near a quest zone.

xp-ing a little rogue here today I broke a set of mithril lockpicks on this lock (ordinary picks didn't always break, thought that meant it was pickable, ah well).

I rolled a new char recently (Oct 19) and found 2 mud mails from Oct 5 and 6 already there. Presumably sent to someone who had the same name and later deleted the char.

Could save someone embarassment if mail were cleared when a char is deleted.

I don't see anything against buying stuff from auction with plats that we've earned, but taking 5000p from an alt to buy higher-end eq would miss the point, in my opinion.

I'd be disappointed if our rogue turned up with a couple of khanjaris

I was thinking about rules. OK, I briefly thought about rules, for maybe 20 seconds. Here's my bid for a ruleset: 1. No levelling in Scardale 2. Live off the land, i.e. no hand-me-downs from alts or other players This is a lot more complex than my first stab at a ruleset, which was Rule 1: there are...
