I still think I should have been allowed to zap. My bet was 1235.

I can see it now. Demigod zaps EVERYWHERE. Mortals are all dead. The one guy that had sat in his Aethercraft and popped out in the last 30 seconds picks up the staff and wins.

Log off at 530 to go to New Year celebration. Come back at 800. Delport is still revolting? o_O Are we going to have another 7 hour one?

Delport is STILL going on. I am about to die from exhaustion...Holy crap.

Shaddus is your friend. You like Shaddus.


Now let me into your cartels.

Is the sceptre quest only supposed to be complete-able during new and full moon? Because completing Caoimhe Dell in just one hour seems... quite impossible.

You can do some of it in the day before the full moon, as I remember it.

I thought astral got drained for the event. Did all the nodes just up and get recharged right before things started somehow?

It was the "nodes refresh with 1 more link in them" thing; just think how crazy it would have been if people could have kept linking more than just one pulse an hour, heh.

That's all it took, eh? Interesting!

There were 20+ people on spheres at times...

Remember how they made beasties much more difficult when lots of people were there? One link on a staff-carrying group was a wipeout. For all sides.

Also, don't underestimate the massively heightened insanity accrual.

...maybe I should get another cartel that's not private or org-linked, just so I can let people into it. But you know I can't let you into the ones I already have, as they're full of designs where someone paid for complete exclusivity.

We were up there for four hours, so yes, lots of insanity. The system lag from (I presume) having all these extra mobs running around didn't help.

Regarding the linking thing, for reference: I managed one link on mitrans at one point. Three spawned in the node room alone. And these each had a lot of health and hit like a tank (I was taking 1400-1500 per attack), and I don't think there was even a full group on the sphere by that point. Earlier, Viynain had managed one link on Leo, and I watched six fesix spawn in my room (not at the node). Yeah, that didn't end well.

That mitran link was the worst. I dropped into a room with just one of them, thinking I could handle it, and it slammed me for 2100 damage through all my defences and my truefavour.

New twit - pricing forging items. There's no "standard" anymore after the changes with tempering and mallets, and I have a very limited pool of people who will actually come and buy from my shop. It's awfully hard to get a feel for what's reasonable.

The fesixes and parasites were the worst imo. At least half my deaths must have been to fesixes and parasites.

I have a rune. It is sitting in my hands because my tiara isn't approved. I am dying a little on the inside.

You sound like Rika .

I designed her tiara for her! And it's submitted! Her problem was more no one had done it. Mine was done, but is just sitting there.
