Bugs are certainly annoying, but I don't think they bother me as much. I don't think the bugs would be nearly as irritating if it weren't on top of the arbitrariness of the rest. But more than that: bugs are annoying because it's so hard to be sure what's a bug and what's just that you can't tell you're doing it wrong.
The way items reset, and syntax hunting, are so annoying because they have nothing to do with what the challenge would be like if my character were a real person in a real place in a real situation solving a real problem. The more a quest focuses its challenges on problems my character would be solving (like deciphering a puzzle), the better. The more it focuses on problems I have to solve (like guessing at syntaxes, or making a chart of reset times and repeatedly solving the puzzles to figure out the right sequence), the worse.
If the quests were based on puzzles that made sense for your character, bugs would just stand out, and thus, be easily identified and much more quickly fixed.

Some people play up that the reincarnation is that they misremembered and got mixed up in the Portal of Fates, and are getting the error corrected. Most people just say they reincarnated so they can have a 16 int and 4500 health or whatever, because that's how most people play.
KILL IT WITH FIRE
I usually encounter the first time-- people RP taking a while to get used to their new bodies, irregardless of what actual reasons they had for making the switch.

You know what I like best?
The bugs where they exist for 3 weeks (stopping you from killing Zenobia), where everyone is experiencing it exist because everyone is turning in Kepherans and getting no bloated sharks. Ever. With hundreds of kephs being turned in every day.
Then, after about three weeks, get told, "Not a bug, we're getting bloated sharks just fine. Don't know what you're talking about." Go down, turn in 1 kephera, and there's a bloated shark.

Clearly hundreds + 1 kephera = 1 shark. Should have tried that last one before bugging it.

Hundreds * 7 * 3 == Thousands.

So.. Since the final artisan skill permits you to teleport to a piece of furniture, are you able to teleport up to a ship while it's in aetherspace?
Felicia2010-06-20 04:55:56
The ship has to be docked.

No, sadly, or I would stock them.
I wish I could dismantle my extra kegs for comms too.

And it also can't be docked at an aetherbubble. When it first came out it was a shortcut to an aetherbubble if you were willing to leave your manse at one, but that was deemed to be useful, and therefore against the design specifications for Artisan.

Yeah, I remember the good old days when it had a use.
Also, Does MagiCrown make the crown non-decay? It's not specified but want to make sure otherwise I need to buy a rune of some sort

No it doesn't make it non-decay and you can't rune a magicrown or make a runed crown a magicrown. I just asked about this because I have a crown that runed and would like to turn it into a magicrown but I can't.

The obvious question is now, why not?
It doesn't seem out of line, especially with the whole "if you bond with a new one the old one poofs"

That could actually be it.
It's tough to make something poof if it is an artifact.

But unruneable and non-decay should not have problems

They want to limit non-decay-trans-trade-artifacts, really.

p crown
Shining bolts of platinum have been woven around dual bands of the same
metal, rounded and veined to appear as if a vine. These jagged bolts
drive upward in terminating points resembling the thorns of a rose,
polished to bladed mirrors. On the inside of the crown, bears the faint
impression of a tiny pair of outstretched batwings.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Druid Ayisdra Ysav'rai.
It is enchanted with the mercy spell, holding 110 charges.
It has a Great Rune of Charity attached to it (#56667).
It is possible?

If you put something in a dingbat cube, does the owner get a message when it pops into his inventory?
