I AM PRE-ICE AGE, BIATCH!

>report I do not believe I joined as a premium member on 1/1/1970... I could be mistaken. The PREM START verb tells me that is so, however.

SEND[Mignon] Okay, then it's a problem with the system. It should be fixed shortly. But give it a day or two. Thanks for letting us know.


>report Sure thing.

Yeah, they're going to fix that.

What the fuck is the point of having that information in-game? Seriously. Is it just to disprove the losers that are like "I'VE PLAYED SINCE..." to win an arguement or something?

Actually it's so you can see when you can get your house, premie gift, etc.

I would have lied, and take the 30 years worth of Premmie gifts ;)

Hang on a second, so it isn't when you created your account, it's when you joined premium or whatever? Can't you already do that on the premium verb?

I think the main purpose is to let people know how long they've been premium so they can figure out when they are eligible for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year premium gifts.

It also tells you when your last premium alteration was.

Betheny

Then why isn't this in the premium folder?! I want to have played GS since 1959, MOFO!

[Script]>report I don't suppose I can get 33 years of premium gifts, eh?


SEND[Mignon] ROFL Good try. We still only have a few years of gifts. :P


You take a deep breath, and look around with renewed vigor. It is good to be alive, and an adventurer in this land.

[Script]>report Ah, well. I don't know what I'd do with 33 alterations anyway. Was worth a shot. Well, Have a great day! I mean it!



SEND[Mignon] You too. <g>



Thanks for the Idea, Stay!

Edit: Actually, I had already thought of it, but I wasn't going to do it until Stay mentioned it agian.

I got an RPA out of the deal if you didn't notice.

Teehee.

So that you know when your gifts are coming, mostly.

StrayRogue

Yeah, I've gotten fame and exp when I've reported a good bug before.

Jastio's group just went north.
[Wehnimer's, Lyon Way]
Here Lyon Way runs southeast into Riverwind Street, serving as a conduit for passage between the river and the bazaar and shops. Most of the more reputable-looking citizens seem to be steering clear of a dimly lit cul-de-sac which lies due south of the intersection.
Also here: Jastio
Obvious paths: north, south, east, southeast
>s
[Wehnimer's, Cul-de-Sac]
Broken bottles, discarded rubbish, and uneasy feelings pervade this dank, ill-lit dead end. Several unsavory-looking citizens seem to be lurking here and there in the shadows for want of anything better to do, and the scratching of rats can be heard from within the nearby walls. A pile of old crates is stacked against the back wall of the alley. You also see the Rorac disk and an empty wooden crate.
Also here: Lady Sapphyrre, Zafyra, GameHost Gervis, Khojin, Rorac, Talmien who is sitting, Lanithar, Bungalo who is lying down, Adyria, Bobmuhthol

You see GameHost Gervis Parkovitch.
He appears to be a Dwarf.
He appears to be very young. He has grey eyes and black skin. He has long, white hair.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a thick dog-eared manual in his left hand.
He is wearing a weathered caribou robe drawn at the waist with a length of frayed cord, a linen pouch, some scuffed leather sandals, a gold star, a crumpled leather hat, a tarnished copper medallion engraved with the words "GameHost Gervis Parkovitch", an ale-stained hip satchel, some gak skin britches, and a masterfully carved diamond pin.
