    Sank an entire fleet of ships then tried to salvage them to shallam, made a snarky post declaring ownership, got killed a ton by targ and finally got my ships back. Oh, and got killed by what I assume was a disgruntled admin. We're gonna keep following this story is it develops :lol:


    Yeah, that was kinda the point I realized things were gunna get weird.

    Jinsun : Slumps over and dies.

    I bribed six people into high fiving me with a chance to win a steelblue ladybird. I miss high fives.
  • Hit level 98, figured out Clockwork and the Chieftess. Push for dragonhood tomorrow, if I can get lucky. 
  • TIL that the Alcazar is actually a real place, and @Mezghar / @Kuriel aren't crazy.

    That kind of language isn't cool, Mila. You can not like someone, but rule 1 is pretty clear!

    Game is small enough and there's enough going on in the world. Don't want or need to spread that kind of toxicity. :(
    Admin have been not so great at moderating the forums lately.

    Admin seems to be behind on quite a bit lately. I've heard so many complaints about design submissions. One of those had been submitted like 4 months ago, and another 2 months. I've been waiting on a customisation email for 5 days so far, no response, and it was just a question about how to do something. I dread the wait time for the actual submission.

    Maybe they're short-handed?
    Give us -real- shop logs! Not another misinterpretation of features we ask for, turned into something that either doesn't help at all, or doesn't remotely resemble what we wanted to begin with.

    Thanks!

    Current position of some of the playerbase, instead of expressing a desire to fix problems:

    Vhaynna: "Honest question - if you don't like Achaea or the current admin, why do you even bother playing?"

    Bought 30 globes, because finally got backpaid the ~$300 I was owed from work.

    Got 6 sleeves (free 210 credits), an hourglass (free 66 credits), 261 unbound, 10 caches (guisethread, panpipepipes, froghead, sanguineteardrop were the only notables - Probably another ~600ish all up from those after I sold them), 2 mayan crowns and pixie boots.

    Also got a bunch of other random stuff like humgii tickets, nothing hugely valuable (unless I win big at those!). Quite substantially better than my previous 30.

    Disappearing from Achaea for now. See you, space cowboy.


    smileyface#8048 if you wanna chat.

  • I've finally been able to play more consistently, and I'm having a lot of fun. It's the simplest things that seem to be the highlight of my day. Fished for a bit, caught up with some old friends, even made some new ones, found an interesting purchase in a shop. 

    Plus I took care of managing the string of decay messages, and everything else you have to procure again that awaits you whenever you're gone for a long time.

    And I got some good advice earlier today on projects that I have planned to keep me invested in playing more often.  :)
    "Alas. Alas for Hamlin. The Mayor sent east, west, north, and south. To offer the Piper by word of mouth. Wherever it was men's lot to find him, silver and gold to his heart's content. If only he'd return the way he went."
  • Finished two more talismans yesterday.  Close on another.  Managed it all for a grand total of about 30cr no less. Close to finishing two sets I had no interest in completing but figured I might as well give it a shot.   Very eventful and profitable week and a half so far.    However, I will juuuust about sell my soul for a Seasone card.  I'd trade a few full talismans, a bunch of redeemable cards, plus credits...  but no one seems to have them. I have opened something like 200 decks for it and gotten about 150 Vellis cards though lol.

    You slip behind a majestic lion and garrote him with your whip.
    You have scored an OBLITERATING CRITICAL hit!
    With a loud prolonged roar of rage, a majestic lion slumps to the earth mortally wounded.
    You have slain a majestic lion, retrieving the corpse.
    Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 113.
    You have reached the illustrious level of 4th Echelon of the Paramount.
    A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

  • So.

    I thought I had explored Prin.

    Found out I was 0%.

    Explored it.  Thanks @Armali .
  • Santar said:
    dude made a page long forum thread ranting about explorer rankings and hadn't explored Prin
    I thought I did okay--

    I also missed the Alcazar.

    Minkai has not stopped bullying me-- neither has Yen.

    House halls still remain a hot topic of debate-- buttttttt I just got the Virtuosi estate so nbd.
  • Being able to be world walker without alcazar or prin is stupid.

    Armali rips into Death Knight Lord Kemnast with her massive, deadly claws.
    Armali barrels into Death Knight Lord Kemnast and knocks him to the ground before stomping over his
    prone form.
    As Death Knight Lord Kemnast draws his final, dying breath, you hear him whisper the word,
    "Vengeance!". Suddenly, a spear of jagged bone materialises from thin air and flies toward your
    chest!
    A high, sibilant scream whistles through the air as the light in Death Knight Lord Kemnast's eyes
    finally goes out.
    Death Knight Lord Kemnast has been slain by Armali.
    A monarch's ransom of golden sovereigns spills from the corpse.

    --

    Followed shortly thereafter by:

    Armali disappears, summoned away by the Ur'Vampire Gerzson.

    With an inexorable prowess honed through centuries uncounted, the flawless, perfect training of the
    Ur'Vampire Gerzson compounds a series of increasingly lethal strikes to Armali, rendering her into
    so much meat for the next experiment.

    The soul of Armali roams the land, bodiless.

    Thank you to @Elon, @Krizal, @Ismay, and @Accipiter!

  • The Asylum of the Lord of the Underworld. (indoors)
    Once the inner sanctum of Ugrach, a foreboding atmosphere clings to the air, a distinct sense of unease and wrongness pervading 
    all thought and sense. Inhabited now by the son of Undeath, the den is absent entirely of banners or coats of arms, a subtle 
    albeit omnipresent reminder of Lord Slith's ambivalence to his ill-anointed throne. In the centre of the room burns a fire without 
    any visible fuel and which seems to exude no smoke, but great heat, while a large pool of what looks to be blood adorns a corner, 
    sunken into the floor. Large stairs lead downwards, disappearing beneath the red, viscous surface, while cubby holes and scant 
    windows enclose the fell chamber, allowing the occupant a clear view of the Underworld in all its unholy glory. Slith, Lord of the 
    Undead is here, lounging about in apathy.
    You see a single exit leading west.
    You rip into Slith, Lord of the Undead with your massive, deadly claws.
    Slith, Lord of the Undead says, "Pathetic."
    You form small chunks of ice in your enormous maw, then spit them at Slith, Lord of the Undead in a barrage.
    Slith, Lord of the Undead says, "Pathetic."

    A guttural snarl escapes the armoured form of Slith, Lord of the Undead as he raises both fists as if to claw at the air. Dragging 
    his hands downward and out in a sweeping motion, you can do aught but stand petrified as a host of unearthly spirits respond to 
    his summons, all the evils of the Underworld making themselves known upon your pitiful frame.

    Slith, Lord of the Undead's eyes flare with a malevolent glow, a baleful beam of unholy light lancing from the diadem upon his 
    brow to spear through your torso and leaving you to die in horrific agony.
    You have been slain by Slith, Lord of the Undead.
    Your starburst tattoo flares as the world is momentarily tinted red.
    The corpse of a deadly obsidian scorpion falls out of your inventory.

    You have slain a scimitar-wielding Vertani soldier, retrieving the corpse.
    Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 114.
    You have reached the illustrious level of 3rd Echelon of the Paramount.
    A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

    Brought the number of talisman completions to 15

    lagged out:
    You have been slain by Damek, Feranki Magelord.
    You writhe in pain as you fall to level 113.
    You sigh in frustration as you fall to the level of 4th Echelon of the Paramount.
    With his dying breath, Caelan utters, 'well...damn'.

    And then.. back to 114 and 0.0%

    I had the realization today that I wasn't sure whether or not sent letters decayed while they were in transit. If they do, there's the possibility I may have missed some letters when I took my hiatus for my new job. I then thought, "Man, it'd be nice if I got a message telling me when I got a letter from a player if I was offline." So, I submitted my first IDEA - 371.

    I know the post office in Avalon was a non-decay room letters sat in until the recipient logged in. Might be similar here?

    While I can't 100% say for sure, I wouldn't bet money on it. They made letters decay a few years back IIRC due to performance issues. You can paste them into a journal to preserve the contents now, but other than that, it decays.

    I can just imagine how many letters and items would have to be tracked in a preserved state for dormant players.
