But that said, it's only 2 hours once every six months or so, and it's meant to be a complete free-for-all. It's fairly light as far as consequences go (nothing lost but what's in your inventory that drops and a bit of time) - Achaea is supposed to be a dangerous world after all, just because you don't want to play in the big event going on doesn't make you safe and exempt!
This was for me the most laggy CTF I've ever been in, and the most lag/delay I've dealt with from anything in Achaea since the Bal'met finale, which was a little disappointing. I don't blame anyone on that, it just sucks because for Mhaldor, who is already a small team, lag pretty much destroys our biggest advantage (creating schemes to try and overcome larger numbers). I know I definitely was not the only one effected to a severe degree, and it was not nearly this bad the last CTF either. I'm not sure what's changed between then and now, or if there was some sort of freak occurrence for a section of players.
Despite the lag and its frustration more or less handing a chunk of our defeat to us, was still pretty fun. Thanks Mhaldor for your usual go-get-'em attitudes and minimal complaints, it keeps up the flagging motivation!
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
It's a world-wide event. Regardless of if you choose to participate or not, you are a part of the world and have to deal with whatever comes with that.
The issue isn't that you didn't opt-in, it's that there was nothing stopping people from squatting the Cave and looping kills.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
Overall, for my first CTF, this was pretty dang fun. I thought I'd have to leave half way through but, apparently my appointment got canceled until tomorrow so. A+
World event = world event
the pros and cons of r-tard really make it feel like an "ultimate" ability and I'm glad the skill was never deleted

- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."

"We don't care if you are good, if you can spam web, just do that." Gotta love the pep talks
The cave camping was really stupid, though. I can understand why divine grace is disabled, as it can be abused to just walk straight past a bunch of enemies, but neither should someone be immediately attacked upon coming back. Originally I thought the solution would be to just reduce the length of divine grace during a CTF rather than eliminate it. But now I think a better way to fix it would be, during a CTF, to have divine grace last the standard length of time, but vanish immediately if you move from the Outside the Cave room before it would naturally disappear. This prevents the abuses of it while also eliminating the possibility of camping.

I've already recieved plenty of hate over spending cash in achaea for whatever reason so I don't discuss how much. I also stopped talking about wins and such it's not worth the trouble.
Assume what you want. Just don't quote me as saying something I didn't

I mean, I guess the good news is (hopefully?) beyond a certain point it just doesn't matter (that much) what they're spending those credits on. Most of the really important stuff IS pretty expensive in IRE, but it's also capped in a sense. Once you've bought all the stuff, you've bought all the stuff - unless some of the assembly items are fairly important (not sure if they are). Auction items maybe less of a problem than they could be too, maybe, because the auction items are generally milder here.
I don't care how much you spend--I'm a poster child of wanton Achaean waste, myself--but you've spent a lot of time and posts implanting certain assumptions about your spending habits on these forums, and now you're calling foul on a technicality. A lot of people with impressive incomes play Achaea, but most of them don't share your habit of reminding us. You like the attention, and you like playing the persecuted when it makes you a target for gossip or jealousy.
Let's be frank. Since you've come back, your posts generally revolve around 3 topics: your wealth outside this game, your wealth inside this game, or how cool your character was back in 2010. Don't get me wrong, every community loves a celebrity narcissist or two, but the most entertaining narcissists at least know they're narcissists. You wear that suit well, no need to try and take it off when someone compliments it.
