Well, I've been back in GS for a day now, a few observations:

1. The play.net website does not have enough info on it. I could not figure out how to reassign my stats, I don't think it says so anywhere.

2. Some of the new commands are quite useful, befriend being the number 1 I can think of off the top of my head.

3. Icemule has gotten so much better, I was planning on going back to the landing but everyone there was really really nice, so I'm keeping my character there.

4. Then again, maybe too nice. Within 10 minutes of returning to the game, someone attempted to cyber with me, hah.

5. This is ridiculous:

A wraith gestures at you!
A wraith hurls a freezing ball of pure cold at you!
AS: +127 vs DS: +162 with AvD: +52 + d100 roll: +85 = +102
... and hits for 1 point of damage!
Cool touch! Look at the goose bumps!
The freezing ball of pure cold strikes you, blossoming into a much larger sphere of frost upon impact.
... 25 points of damage!
Solid blast of ice square to the chest rocks you back on your heels!
You are stunned for 5 rounds!

102 end roll, I don't remember that happening.

6. Don't give away all your money when you leave :smilegrin: I went to the bank and had 703 silver of which I owed 540 to the clerk in the landing.

7. Some old people who had left before I did are back which is nice, Waldo2 and Eyes1 are apparently around. Blades as well. I got to catch up with Elminstir and I'm sure I'll see others.

8. In general the people have been very nice, so far I haven't seen a whole lot of "roleplaying" per se and a little too much mechanics talk but I'm not big time RPer myself so I'm not terribly bothered. I just would like to not see the AS/DS in puclic.

All in all I'm very happy to be back, it's been quite enjoyable.

Elminstir should die for ripping off the name.

I find it funny that in a thread mentioning Blades, Eyes1, and Waldo2 you have the biggest problem with Elminstir. Anyway, he's been around forever when names were much more lax.

Welcome back!

All of the towns have done a lot of changing. And there is decent rp everywhere if you look.

Again.
Welcome back

I figured the others were a given.

Most people probably don't recognize where Elminstir's name originates but for those of us who do, it shows a complete lack of creativity.

I think if you look at all the names that were used when he first rolled up, it wouldn't be as big of a deal. It's like comparing early alters to those of today, the early ones are pretty ridiculous (eyes that pierced your soul, alters that "made" your character feel something when they saw them). A lot has changed between then and now.

Hell, my main characters were Chivalrous, Bias, and Araegorn so I can identify with having bad and rip-off names.

Let me know if you need silvers and/or gear. I'm pretty sure I've got armor, a 5x shield, and other things you can put to use depending on your training.

Blades is in nations.

Icemule sucks.

Waldo2 can be found around landing.

Havn't seen Eyes1 for a long time.

Icemule sucks.

The splash damage is bullshit when it happens to you, yes, but it makes some sense. And since it works the other way around (when you cast at critters), I've come to love it.

Finally, get Psinet. The commands on there are better than any of the ones that Simu integrated.

I already gave you a +22 runestave. Give me a set of 4x doubles and I'll enchant them for you.
