I started jogging at the beginning of 2007. Honestly, I don't love jogging but it is such an efficient exercise, I couldn't resist. Would you believe I work in a fitness center? Hey, I'm only the receptionist but I directly face the treadmills and ellipticals aaaaall day. Amazing what watching all t...

I just want to say how much I love some of the very simple coding additions the imms put in from time to time. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find just the right cookie you know is buried somewhere in 8 storage caches and 5 dozen containers? Hallelujah for finditem! Not to mention how handy ...

That's a shame because they let druids in! *cackle*

I've lost 10 lbs thanks to my tried and true powdered sugar donette diet...mmmmm.

Hrm I suppose the obsessive exercising might have helped but I feel certain that the powdered sugar donettes were the deciding factor!

Well whaddya know! I found the link for the zone copy program faster than I expected to: http://forums.zuggsoft.com/index.php?page=4&action=file&file_id=66 Another helpful link (program creator giving details on using the program): http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=12109&h...

There actually is a program that will let you pull out and save just one zone at a time from your big zone file so you can send someone one or two zone maps instead of your whole big fat file. I'll hunt down the program and post a link to it. Also, the mapping file is ridiculous large so make sure t...

Honestly, I have to say that my biggest reason for not wanting to see NHC available to everyone's input is quality control. And not quality control of knowledge/information but rather of attitude :-P Even with the current system, there have been a few times that I've seen newbies ask questions and g...

Hrm, maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying. What version of zmud are you using? In 7.21 and for several of the versions prior to it, you can easily give directions by just selecting the zone you want in the zone list that is always displayed on the left side of your mapper, giving direction...

sotana

I think it depends on the version of zmud that you use. The older versions store each map as a separate file so you could have more than one file open at once, easily send someone the map of just one zone, etc. The newer versions store all the maps in one file. I haven't found any way to tab separat...

Why is there still no druid on that list? *panic* You guys are goners for sure :-(

we've discussed setting up an area for hand washing.. with soap and the hose.. From my years of camping, I'd like to suggest a fairly easy and self-contained solution for the handwashing.

Since Ed won't be driving out, I probably won't be making it to the Gathering, either. :( That being said, hope you all have a great time! Foolish mortal.

If anyone has a good zmud map of muspel, it would help greatly in planning where to stick the devices and what areas each covers. Oooo did someone say map?

Hah I remember when I first started grouping with folks for xp at high level and got into big trouble for barking a shaman's spirit pet. I was told in no uncertain terms to never ever bark wraithform because it makes them corporeal. Ahh...the good ol' days....

Holy crap that was a lot of work! But...I suppose I must confess it was a lot of fun as well. What do ya'll think? Are there people who would be interested in coming out to play? Speak up!

The name of the game is GREED and it's not going to change, and no one can make it change.

Interesting thread! Bit olde~ but interesting. I hate that too Corth, the worst one for me was when our group was pulled out of avernus on the way to BC by a god to participate in RP, so we went to the venue, as we tranported in they walked a pack of mobs in smote us then left us to clean up while ...

Hrm, when did this stop being a free game run for us by people who have donated their time and can’t be expected to do what we, as players, think should happen just because we think it should happen?

I don't know if 'secretive' is the correct word to describe the staff, Zusuk. More often than not it seems to me that 'prudent' is a better word.

Try just gate as your alias pattern (no wildcard), keeping the value the same. Then to use it, you would type 'gate smoke' or whatever plane you want. I do this for moonwell.

Druids suffocate blows compared to ice tongue which is way superior - and shamen seem to land silence better than clerics.

The primary function of suffocate is silence. The damage is secondary and very minimal. I _have_ used suffocate for damage after I'm out of doom, hail, flame blade, spiked stones, sticks to snakes and mob is still alive :-P That is, if the mob isn't globed in which case suffocate is too low level to...
