I lost over an INCH of my mining skill over night.

i went from mining.....(the last dot is where the bar was)

to minIing(the second I is where the bar is)

from when i logged off last night to when i looked at it this morning. ive heard that skills decay as you age but this is RIDICLOUS!

Don't worry Hon, that can happen

its quite depressing... perhaps Toren should just stick with being an alcoholic.

Dear Toren,
maybee the wrath of the gods caused your lost of knowledge ?
Besides, the reason to play Illarion should not be to gain an inch of mining skill but to represent a character in a fantasy world... But you might know that, I guess.

Yours Belegi

I completely sympaphize (spelled right?

) with you and understand. I can't explain it though. The only thing i can ask is, did you die recently? Also, even though "you are supposed to play only to be your character," Couldn't you just do that on a text-based game? In real life, if you woke up one day and forgot how to, say... how to use a computer

, wouldn't you be mad? I mean, it doesn't matter, right?

What probably happened:

You had died the other day, but your skills did not reflect the lower skills. This seems to be a client issue, where when you acutally loose a lot of skill it just reflects a little loss.

When you log off and back in it reflects your true skill level.

Happened to my char once too. Not sure what causes this.

While a GM is listening, i would like to voice my complaints about skills

. What were you thinking when you decided to make it 10 TIMES HARDER?!?!?!?!

Before you complain about that, why don´t you make your avatar 10x smaller or use an other one?

Paul stop complaining about the Nilo-roof-fire-dying-mining-fighting issue, its in the past now

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:56 am

1) My avatar is fine, so live with it
2) This has nothing to do with that incident, it is about skillgaining in general

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:58 am

yeah but you did lose mining skill over it

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 1:00 am

so? I will never forgive him. Cost me a lot of work

But, oh well

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 1:01 am

Ugh, it's hopeless to come to a resolution between you two

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 1:04 am

At least i don't resolve my ISSUES by killing people for no bloody reason!

Toren the Myrimdon · Post by **Toren the Myrimdon** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 1:05 am

I suppose it was just a client side illusion that i didnt loose all that skill. But even then 10+ hours of work is a bit harsh to loose over a death or two.

Belegi you are right, I do agree that this game isnt about power gaming or having the most skill ect. But craft skills and battle skills are part of the game. If you want your character to be a warrior or a mage they need to fight in the field, and somehow make cash and goods for them to be able to do that. If you want your character to have a house, or a social status you need to have ignots to do so. If you want to start trouble, or stop it you need to have something to back up your words. If you want to be helpful its a good idea to be able to help with more than just knowlegde.

Your avatar is too damn big...

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:27 am

Ack! Leave my avatar alone! At least my avatar doesn't have moldy eyes

Hey, Cain's avatar is cool! It strikes fear into the hearts of the weak-minded.... *scary evil background music*

*paul, realizing he has almost as many posts as some of the people who have been with the game a long time, is proud. Then he realizes it is because he talks a lot

Setherioth · Post by **Setherioth** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:48 am

S'all about the post number isn't it? *glares evily* So that's the only reason you're active on the boards..... *tries to glare but the evilness just doesn't come through when one is grinning*

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:52 am

Actually the only reason i'm so active is that i have to work on a lot of reports now

and my parents don't realize this is related to a game, as playing the actual game would catch their attention.

Hahahaa. They here the typing on the keyboard and think everythings all good, eh?

Why don't you use a chat-room. It is much easier.
