Not sure if anyone had seen it happening before but it mad me laugh...
someone call the whaaaaaaambulance.
Formid, but I am doing that! And the logs are soon to come, what are you doing meanwhile, aside trying to find a reason to bitch at me?
I know you're trying to justify having your flag turned off, but I'd suggest that maybe you should just 'man up and play'?
Poor Formid, always in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are too inactive to understand the pvp flags, don't take part in this discussion.
But just to give you a hint:
Nowadays 'pvp on' is useless for the regular player. It makes you nothing but a target to random attacks.
Why would you pvp on? Because you want to kill a certain player, well, too bad you cant, he has pvp off. And if you pvp on, you only get a target painted on your back for those who turned pvp on to kill random players:) Pointless.
1. 'Sadly, our story is different. We don't have real RPers, we have wankers. Wankers that got a great chance to do all their petty bullshit being protected by the system. '
2. 'Fuck you all, maggots. Man up and play!'

Akhazir you are quite incorrect here, i am afraid. Usually you are right on the money, but this time you are wrong.
The PVP Flags were supposed to protect new players from being randomly killed. Ok, if not only new players, lowbie players. When the PVP flag was introduced, us, the people that actually play the game and dont spend hours reading stupid t2t forums or boring ainur suggestions, were left with the impression that PVP flags are a good thing.
I still think PVP Flags are one of the best things coded in the game. New players, especially nowadays, need to be valued and protected. Yet, they should be able to enjoy the game, the way ALL OF US did, including you Akhazir, and even Cruice.
This mud, the two towers, has been introduced EVERYWHERE as a PVP ENABLED mud. IT IS A PVP MUD, read it again! IT IS A PVP MUD!
If anyone does not like it, they can go play some RP mud, where you can't attack players.
Sadly, our story is different. We don't have real RPers, we have wankers. Wankers that got a great chance to do all their petty bullshit being protected by the system.
This mud can't survive without PVP. This mud was GREAT with PVP for over 15 years, because players were stimulated by ainur to PLAY THE GAME. Not to idle and curse and chat with each other. You can do that in an IRC channel. This is not a chatroom.
Fuck you all, maggots. Man up and play! 'whine i dont want to pvp' - Who the fuck asks you if you want to pvp or not? I don't want to grind like a madman to level up a character, but nobody asks me if I do. I also don't want some moron to steal my gold in mordor and then just 2knock on gates and be protected by the lawsys forever and ever. But nobody asks me if i do.
Ainur should stop advocating wimpyness and to start provoking players to actually play. I'd rather have 15 people online that actually play, than 100 that idle and curse all day.
You can't have both. A new player will adapt to the current system and will be a product of it. Just like Cruice and the herks are a product of the BP system.
You reap what you sow...
It's a matter of opinion. Also, if it was thrown away it was mostly because of the current PKer activity. It wasn't done for the hell of it. Maybe if people didn't start a massive 'not-bug' abuse fest, targeting random players on the off chance that they might maybe be somebody's alt, or harassing people who got to a quest area first, there wouldn't have been enough support in Valinor to actually pass a PvP flag. If it's a bad thing, it's still a hole the PKers dug for themselves in the first place.
Cruice i am pretty sure you were not even around when the pvp system was actually good (2002-ish)
Winnetou, that's because this MUD had one of, if not the best, PvP systems on any MUD. Yet they threw it all away to make sure no one's feelings got hurt.
i think your memory is skewed a bit.
not to talk about obtaining moderately OK eq and a good weapon
One other thing pisses me off: the very idea that you have to spend LOADS of time getting good eq. In old times it was just sufficient to have a hauberk, shield,pants, and an AESS or forgie + jerkies. Now you have to spend hours on getting poison, boosters, keys, etc...
I think what my bro is saying is that we didn't overexpose or overdo. Say, like Grimscar overdid backstab with Aiglos. It was a bit pathetic, killing people in one round with poison, you have to give it that. Tho I might also say it was just the way the system was organized that led to the current situation...
Does any ainur care?:P I miss old times.
Your balls are showing.
TITS OUT.
LACES OUT.
so now you're pulling a daywalker and trying to hide it? :P
I never abused anything. I used things that were coded for that purpose. Hmm, a poison that takes a high skill in alchemy to create and hard to figure out the ingrediants for it, AND does a lot of damage to players in PvP? Fuck yea I'm going to use it. Daywalker has people quest heartbreaker for him every boot so he can use it in PvP. It is the exact same situation, just different tools. If it was wrong to 'abuse' any poisons or buffs that were intentionally coded that way, then you need to get rid of all the swords and healing in the game because way too many people are abusing them.
what daywalker is saying cruice, is that he tried to hide his massive abuse of the game, while you didn't try.
Cruice yes, it was legal since it was not reported yet. You used anything on ANY attack. We also used some of the good stuff, but we didnt wave it around like a flag saying 'look at me im using this uber cool stuff'.
Evade was worse than 500 breaks for solo pk. Daywalker, just because I used things to make my attacks more affective and were legal, don't try and nock me for getting them removed. You and your 'friends' reported everything I did or used. Get over yourself.
not true:p used to be less! I swear
winnetou, there were always a ton of breaks. the only thing involved was reading logs to see which ones were used most frequently so you'd know what would be triggered and then using something different when attacked.
yea, new breaks also meant you had to 10 man someone if you want to kill them (which we did, at some points) but I still had an attachment for solo kills...
But probably the worst thing was the introduction of tons of new breaks. Took away the joy of anti-huntbreak triggers. Also, I think at some point there was less distinction between who is the good and the bad - i.e. powerful, and not so. But it may be just a contrast between my newbie days and my older days.
It's more like not herks, but what they did. Mappers, for one. Mappers definitely sucked. For me. Cause I never had one. And they kept owning me although I had superior find-myself skills :}
agreed with douglas, but herkies surely accelerated its downfall
ahahaha. did you seriously just give herks credit for ruining this mud? reality check. this place started sucking long before battlepoints were put in and the herks probably werent even around for that.
Cruice because of you and your ass buddies half of the good shit was removed from the game. Because you just couldn't help but using everything at every attack you make. So don't even bring the subject up.

No, Douglas. I personally report bugs that need to be fixed. However, there are few decent things left in the mud that ainur have not yet taken away, and I hate it when some useless guy reports it 'because he hates that YYY can do ZZZ and he cant'.
Hypocrite
i see bad cliches.
I see dead people.
I meant the stuff from dead people
It's not, it's been changed for quite a few years now.
DrillesteR:) Yea, there's usually at least 1 item at boot time. Never knew about the pre-boot function, perhaps its still there?
Mid lair freebies still around? Earlier it was based on the amount on eq at boot. we dropped bkd armoury there once prebot and got like 15 dwarven mining packs out of it + shit I don't remember tho some ainur started whining and it got changed a boot later
You can't be the sexiest pirate aboard, Xorox. Ever.
nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan
Umm, but that makes me a YYY, right? right?!
One last thing, there is nothing left in this mud that YYY can do and i cant.
actually i have done things that YYY have never done and never will.
Oh and yeah about the SIGNPOST, its old :) and i love it
i accidentally found him in lair mr. D, i was doing my usual run to check freebies mid-lair. i didn't know he was there..
And, well, you have been educated by this less experienced player...
I was expecting to see a chorus at the SINGPOST.
No, Douglas. I personally report bugs that need to be fixed. However, there are few decent things left in the mud that ainur have not yet taken away, and I hate it when some useless guy reports it 'because he hates that YYY can do ZZZ and he cant'.
Hi. My name is Daywalker. I like to abuse game mechanics and keep them secret because hey, if Valinor doesn't know about it, it's not a bug right? ....right?
jealous... that reminded me of hellflame, is he at the hospital still?
Yeah I hate jealous reporting bastards
Daywalker, aka Keeper of the Ancient Secrets of T2T, is really pissed with you now, Xorox.
Report it? It's not a bug, it's a feature! :)
Now go pull a Galandrin and report it to the ainur...
Congratulations, you found the ancient secret of the mud...
Only the more experienced players do it another way, which does not really require you to run the lair :)
It's been done before. Quite amusing though. ;)
