Hey all - I am just checking out the place again. I wanted to see if anyone I knew was still playing... or better said - anyone I was friends with in game. I am struggling on my MAC and seeing if it is worth breaking out an old PC that I doubt works.
Weird after all this time I still remember my way around....

Hope you are all well.

Welcome home, Susan/Alexys!

I had the best help from Doug when I bought a new Mac. He was able to get my Lich working with Avalon ... I made a valiant try to use it for 2-3 weeks before it made me too batty.

Doug then got me set up with Wine and StormFront with my Lich and I've been happy since then. Or at least as happy as you can get using StormFront...

After that, I set up Profanity on my Mac, which runs from terminal mode, but ... it's really REALLY bare bones. There's a couple scripts I need to write before I can use it with my main character.

There are instructions at the wiki that you can get started, too:

https://gswiki.play.net/Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software)

There are a number of us Mac users, some of them run SF under Parallels, I am just happy with Wine for the time being.

This is when I wish we could tag messages! I'll leave Doug the link in a PM. I know how much he loves it when I volunteer him and all...

Hey old ranger.

GS is still alive and well, despite Simu trying to turn it into a truck stop casino.

Thank you for all the helpful information! I had always played on PC's before but now I am all Apple devices - so I will have to work on this.

I’m not usually big on chatting, but when I ask for help or offer it, I find lots of non-robots pretty much everywhere (except ghost towns like Zul, where you rarely see anyone at all). There’s some AFK scripters everywhere, but I haven’t found them to be particularly prevalent anywhere.

My two cents

Sadly, Teras is worse.
