I would also like to take a moment to thanks a few special people that helped me through finishing this: Aislin (Helped with Deco and Design), Cypress (Provided Vendor Mall Items, The Moat, and A Lot of Good Advice), Garrick (Provided Vendor Mall Items and Made the Waterfalls), Iris (Provided Vendor Mall Items and Again A Lot of Good Advice), and Alaric (Provided Vendor Mall Items, and Laid the Initial Foundation For All of This to Take Place). Thank you everyone who helped with this project!

Not sure how many of you have played this one. the goal of the game is to name a song (The artist must be provided). The catch is you must use a song with at least one word in common with the person above you. Example: Love Is All That Matters - Eric Carmen = Love Is All Around - Wet Wet Wet.


Lets get us started out with a song.


Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles

I have played quite a few games of battle chess and have come into a couple stale mates. After every game there is a scroll given to the winner with the name and score and such, but after a stale mate you get nothing. I was hoping to remedy this. Possibly put something at the top of the scroll like "(Name of player) Tied (Name of player)" or  "(Name of player) Stole the win from (Name of player)" the second one being that one player had the majority of the points, but that it was a stale mate by technicality.

I have also noticed that if you end the game prematurely a scroll is not awarded either. This shouldn't be the case in my opinion either, i have had a few games were i was about to win, but the other player gave up, and no scroll was awarded because they ended the game.

So i know this is suposed to be like this, but i have been wondwering why? I know for PVP reasons you arnt suposed to be able to just vanish as soon as you get attacked... But no one realy PVPs here for the most part. I realy find it to just be kind of annoying that you have to run the entire world just to get back, lol. Any thoughts on this?

So im super bored at work and just looking for some one to talk to about anything... Anyone have any questions for me or about AT&T cell phones? lol
I guess anything would be nice, lol.

The night was quiet. A slight breeze blew over the grass, making it ripple like a stone thrown into a still pond. The trees wispered and the fire crackled. In the light of the fire the face of a strong stout dwarf could be seen. His face scarred, his bear long and tattered. He sat in beautifully crafted leather armor made by the finest tailors in the land. His cloak and hat lay next to him, thier white cloth shimmering in the light of the moon. And he leaned on his warhammer Drengi.

His dream of becoming the greatest warrior in the land had just began a few moons before tonight. He he had just returned from hunting trolls and ettins to have enough time to start a fire and rest before he began his venture into the wilderness in serch of orcs.

The wind blew strong and a wretched smell came accross the wind. He grabed his axe, mounted his trusty magical steed Bathazec and searched the dark trees that surounded him for any movement. With a blaze of light a column of fire shot tward him. Dragons! He knew he would stand no chance if they got him into the wood, so he would have to lure them into the open somehow.

As he dodged pillar after pillar of fire until he finaly lured them all out of the woods. With great pleasure he began to bash dragons one by one, and in a whirling action finaly took them all down at once.

Catching his breath he sat there wondering why this group of dragons was in these woods. And why attack him? Were they hungry, or were they looking for somthing? Slowly he got to his feet and began to rummage through the dragons corpses looking for anything that could connect them all togather. He found one thing, a beautifully tatooed A on each of their forheads. As he looked upon it, it began to fade, he quickly grabed some paper and began to etch the symbol on a piece of paper until at last it faded into the night. He thought to himself "I must find out what this meens...

He gathered his belonging and the dragon hides and dashed away on his steed to find some one who might know the origin of this tatoo.

(This is the frist story i have wrote in a long time so please dont be to critical, lol.)

If you dont know how this game works it works like this. One person writes a shart part of a story with an unfinished ending, then the next person carries on the story leaving there story unfinished and so on.

I am starting an ongoing event called the 100K Battle chess challange.

If you play me in the 100K battle chess challenge and beat me I will give you a bank ticket worth 100,000 gold coins.

Rules:
1. You have to beat me, it cannot be a stale mate.
2. While taking the 100K challenge for no reason except the game glitching out should the end game button be pushed. (So make sure you haveabout 30 mins before starting a game with me.)
3. No matter who the winner is the scroll belongs to me for record keeping purposes. (I will be making a house dedicated to this so that you can see who has won and lost the 100K challenge.)
4. If you do beat me, we can play again, but you can only win the 100K once.


For any who wish to compeat in this either PM me in game or wait for my announcement on the public chat that i am looking for some one to take the 100K challenge. I may not always be available, so don't expect me to always be able to play chess :-D
Good luck to you all, and may the best Chess player win :-D

My most recent shard other than this one had a command called [disarm which obviously would take off what ever weapon you were holding. There was also a [rearm 1, [rearm 2, and [rearm 3. These commands were great because when put in a macro you could switch between weapons with the push of a single button. This way say some one would be able to switch from a mele to a ranged weapon with ease. A war hammer to a druid staff to cast spells, or even  as simple as say a war hammer for mass crowds to a fan for one on one, i would love to see these commands implemented so we could switch between a variety of weapons with ease.

There was also the same commands for armor those were [undress and [redressme 1 etc. These allowed people to switch between different sets of armor for different situation or even from different sets of armor to a nice set of clothes for RP reason, so not everyone was always running around in armor.

Figured it would be worth asking and mentioning.

Since the druid spells here are differant from any other shard i would ove to see porribly in the shard basics section an overview of the druid spells and what they do. This would help players out deciding what spells to use in combat, and also decide if they even want to become a druid. It could also give new players another reason to join, simply because of the cool druid spells. This isnt disclosing the location of the quest or any part of the quest or even were the scrolls are, but just what the spells do.

Can you exchange multiple ASHs of a lower level in for one of a higher level like runic hammers or is this not possible?

Well if it isn't one thing with me its another, lol. This time i have a question about BODs. Are they completely random or do you have a better change at better BODs and Lbods the higher your skill in blacksmithing goes?

I was trying to train lock picking today, i have the skill fully bought from a tinker to 24.8 skill. I went to bucs den and tried to use the training boxes for 20-30 skill. I set a macro for it and watched for about 5 mins, and no skill gain, i tried later on and had it sitting there for 30 mins while cooking dinner and still no skill gain, i understand lock picking is supposed to be one of the hardest skills to train, but im starting to wonder if these "New" boxes for training are able to be trained on with this low of skill, has any one recently (withing the last month) trained from 20's skill on these boxes?

Can the advanced mechanical pets be crafted here such as the wolf, the scorpion and the Vollem? Or is it just the golem?

Looking for a top of the line (No Augments Added) Runic Valorite Full Helm for a Tank. Preferably will have high stats close to or above AR 0 F 4 C 16 P 15 E 51. Looking for Energy to be at least 10. Also looking for either hit point regen, RPD, HCI, or DCI. Not all of these have to be met obviously but something close would be good, if you are willing to take the challenge please let me know how much said item would cost (Aprox). Please contact me via PM.

I froze up and couldn't move for about 60 seconds so i logged off and now i cant get back on, is the shard down?

Fairly simple command, but i think it would be nice to have a [point command that gives you a target and you click what you want to point at. Im sure most of you know what the [point command is, but im just explaining for those of you that done, hehe.
