TO THE GODS! (Machine) Thu Jan 7 09:52:04 1993 Yesterday, I was on and the system hit some major lag or something because I was sitting around for ten minutes and I got no response, so I was forced to terminate my link. I had a copper breastplate, a helm, a longblade, food, and some padded leggings and sleeves. Could I please get some of that stuff back? . Consider (Cyric) Thu Jan 7 11:14:35 1993 We posted along time ago about this Scruffy, the consider command is not a reliable means of judging your opponent. Cyric . About AC again... (Alv) Thu Jan 7 13:03:41 1993 Well, my AC drops 2 steps....Ok that implies that my EQ isnt what it used to due to all the fights I've been in and so on....Then there is the blacksmith.. He says that all of my EQ is OK.... So..here is an idea..make damaged EQ LOOK damaged and furthermore make the Blacksmith a little more reliable.....i e make him work... And a small favour for poor, death-pursued me....make the recall-branch bit less expensive :) Thanks for your time! Alv the Elf . Info (Muth) Thu Jan 7 13:33:47 1993 It works again. . new weapons (Ric) Thu Jan 21 04:55:51 1993 How about some new weapons, this new wield two business has rendered most decent backstabing weapons useless. . RE: weapons (Muth) Thu Jan 21 10:57:42 1993 Most of the weapons you were using for backstabbing shouldn't have been used in the first place. The longest sword you should be able to use is a shortsword. If there are items that are being used that seem to be longer than that please let me know as they are bugs. Shortsword Dagger Any other short weapons. The above should be the only weapons available. . Staff!! (Muth) Tue Jan 19 13:16:13 1993 If your message for wielding says 'You are forbidden to do that!' then you cannot wield it do to your class. Ie. You are a cleric trying to wield a weapon that has been enchanted only for mages to use. . character one on again!

ADMIN: GAP (Quixadhal) Tue Jan 26 23:59:59 1993 There appears to be a gap in the board file records here. Some weeks were lost. . New (Cyric) Wed Jan 27 00:44:45 1993 new commands: noteleport, nosummon. This will allow you to choose if you wish to have either of the spells by the same name affect you or not, this is by the way only for PC -> PC. A mob can still cast either of these on you though. You should not be able to kill another player UNLESS you and he/she are both registerd for player killing. If this is wrong, please let me know. I am going to great lengths to make this place fun for those that do not wish to be attacked by players. This includes area affect spells :) Cyric . Comments (Kalamar) Wed Feb 3 11:23:32 1993 Why is it that when something as good as Wiley exists that it seems to receive more complaints than compliments? Well, I for one would like to use this space to compliment Cyric and crew for the wonderful work they have done on Wiley. Over the past year or two they have been extremely open to player comments and have implemented many player friendly options. These include: free rent, loss of exp. base on level and number of classes when you die (a sliding scale), user friendly commands too numerous to name, and a host of other nice features. They have strived to keep Wiley both challenging and playable, and to pump out new areas as quickly as their free time will permit. I think we owe it to these dedicated individuals to give them a little praise now and then to help temper the number of grumbles and gripes they receive. Good work guys! I'd like to apologize for my personal comments on me reimbursement which Harlequin remarked upon. It was not my intention to sound demanding or derogitory (although it may have come out to do a frustration born of problems which I created for myself). I will en- deavor in the futu to phrase my problems or inquiries in a less derogitory manner. Kalamar . kalamar (Cyric) Wed Feb 3 16:09:59 1993 Thanks man, I think the wiley crew DID need that... :) . New Stuff (Cyric) Sat Feb 6 10:14:08 1993 I am holding off from introducing any new code into the server right now. I am not going to work on anything new until I find the reason for the games spontaneous hanging and crashing. Please keep the suggestions coming though, I do plan on putting in alot of new spells suggested by player, corwin, goodwind, nomad and many others, so keep sending them. Cyric . Registering (Muth) Sun Feb 7 14:18:57 1993 As Cyric has stated before, once you are registered, you can never be unregistered. Eli tells you this as well when he makes sure you are fully understood of what this means. Sorry Aliya, once a killer, always a killer. . First let me say that this is (Velventhon) Mon Feb 8 10:29:25 1993 First let me say that this is the best mud I have been on. I have had a greaat time. The only problem I have had is losing all my equipment when the game crashes. Right now I am a 4/3 Fighter/Mage. Powerfl enough that noone has pi crashes. Leaving me to powerful to evoke pity and to week to reequip my- self. My only other problem is finding things. When a more expierenced playeris leading me somewhere they go to fast for me to learn the path. Thus I suggest selling maps to other locales:ie from village to goblins or village to Highstaff. One final suggestion keep villagers out of the bulletin room, and and make it noise proof. Thanks for listening ever gratefull; Velventhon . Items/Magical (Muth) Mon Feb 8 23:08:41 1993 I am glad to hear that the stronger items are more difficult to get, that is the why we invisioned it to be. On the issue of items losing power and/or becoming junk How many suits of dragon scale armor do you think one can make from the hide of a dragon. Surely your answer is a hell of a lot! Yes, indeed you could make a hell of a lot, and indeed there are now a hell of a lot in the game. My response to this was to make more in different places, on different mobs. Have fun finding the new stuff! 8) <M> . To the creators of Greth and Highstaff. (Scruffy) Wed Feb 10 03:42:00 1993 Hi all! First ... for greth could you please check into the experience given for slavers. It seems disproportionate compared to the amount of damage they do. Second... Can we tone down a few guards in highstaff? One of the reasons that you dont see more people staying there is that if you kill a youngster so she wont grow up into some goody goody and a guard comes by you get your backside smoked. This chance is highly likely since the proportion of guards to people seems to be about 1 in 5. I would make my home in Highstaff, but since I am usually running away from a Captain or Proud Guard I've tic'ed off it just isnt worth it. Midguurd has the right idea since the guards are fixed and the only other aggressives (starved men) are not large mobs. Other questions... Is it possible for shops to be able to keep their inventory over reboots? If I sell a set of steel banded bracers to the armourer and later get my current pair scrapped it would be nice to be able to go back and by a pair that I had sold, but the inventory on every shop resets at reboot. Also can you set a ceiling (other than available cash) for items that shops will buy. Someone comes in and sells a big item in the shops at shylar and poof he has no more cash for smaller items. Next... I've been through the jungles mapping and my first impression is that they need a few more mobs. Population density seems a bit low. Also, is there any announced date for the opening of the city in the jungle? (the walled one). My great Thx as always. Scruffy . Scruffy (Muth) Wed Feb 10 09:25:21 1993 -= Will look into Gredth. -= Highstaff guards. I will take a gander and see exactly what the ratio is but you must remember, the reason the city is so safe is because of the large number of guards. -= Elcid is in charge of the project of the City of Nesthar. As of yet he hasn't given me a finish date. Sorry. <M> . Hard but not fair? (Lightspeed) Wed Feb 10 11:09:48 1993 Well this thing is bugging me a little first,I like this mud more than others. But better armor is only availible to higher levels like over 20 since people can charm Eli or stuff like that.I think that there should be some way for level 8-13 to get some safe exp....because its just between those levels that peopl e stop playing their characters because they die too much. Again i would like to say that this is a great mud but a little too hard. So i would please get some better availible eq for lower levels? The master of dying Lightspeed . Hermits . . . rehashed (Jackal) Wed Feb 10 12:23:48 1993 I am here to beg mercy from the gods. Remember the day when the goblins invaded shylar and you guys left a prize? I was the one who got the halberd. I made it invisible so that If I got disarmed I would be able to get it back, but today I lost it to a hermit who could apparently see invisible. Can they all??? I know the hermits are staying, and we've been through this subject before. People say, 'Well, don't go to a screen with a hermit and start attacking.' It is kind of hard when an Aklan Guard just attacks you. Please let me know if I can get my halberd back or if these were your intensions for having hermits in the first place. ----- Jackal . board (Drizzt) Wed Feb 10 14:11:36 1993 an Idea........being able to bring up the prac lists when sleeping. such as spell lists to look at what your spells are at while asleep. . quests part II (Emrys) Thu Feb 11 01:51:45 1993 Well, Cyric, your cryptic message about quests really didn't help that much. So could you please tell us if there is going to be one, or if there are not going to be any. Thanks. -Emrys, that Genesis Listening, Mozart playing guy. . On Quests... From Uncle Scruffy (Scruffy) Thu Feb 11 02:30:47 1993 Hi This is the information that I've gleaned on quests... First of all there appear to be two types. The first one seems to usually occur when a couple of the creators (gods, wizards) get online and start giving out mysterious poems or clues to an objective which you must find. Usually there is a deterrent to you getting to this objective in the form of a monster standing there waiting to eat your face. The rewards for success are great for the gods are generous. Weapons and armor of great power and large (obscenely large for lower levels) amounts of experience are the reward for success. The second form of quests I must admit I have only heard in rumor and that takes the form of clues which are hidden in mysterious locations which lead you to further clues and so forth until a goal is reached. I have no experience as to what the rewards to be for the second, but I have been lucky enough to be one (and there are more) of the winners of the first. My advice is as follows, keep your eyes and ears open! The gods on this world are mysterious and devious and quests can turn up in voices from nowhere, mystic notes, and billboards on travellers road for all I know. Scruffy. . Spell Durations changed? (Scruffy) Thu Feb 11 02:58:46 1993 Seems to me that the past two days my spells have had a LOT shorter duration. Shield, Fly, Armor, Bless, and especially Strength are going away after 2 tics or so. It was my understanding that spells for multi-classes had returned to full strength and duration. Is the a wrong assumption, a bug, or something new? Scruffy. . Uhmmm Muth? About Highstaff. (Scruffy) Thu Feb 11 03:31:51 1993 Uhmmm well gee, You see its like this. If the city is safe with all the guards, it's also safe from us. And while I really do enjoy walking around the city and seeing all the great mobiles it would be nice to be able to kill a few. :) Scruffy. . A funeral announcement... (Jack) Thu Feb 11 16:50:34 1993 It is with sad misfortune that I write this. My brother, Lan, ranger of the woods, has passed into his next life. I was near when he fought the slavers of Gredth. He had vowed to destroy evil, no matter what the cost would be. I have pledged to carry on his mission, to make shylar and all of the surronding realms safe for its people. I ask you to join me in this mission, to make the lands safe for it citizens. Please honor my brother by joining me to reclaim this fair land. Jack Al'Mandragorian . Quests (Cyric) Thu Feb 11 20:17:08 1993 Don't know what you mean Emrys, when did I say what to whom..... I have run 2 quests on the game and they have worked out rather well. C . Cyric :) (Persius) Thu Feb 11 20:35:00 1993 I just have a question for you which you will probably laugh at so...for some humour, summon me at your will. Thanks, Persius . Comments (Kalamar) Fri Feb 12 14:37:37 1993 1. Charm monster still allows people to charm other registered AND non- registered characters. Muidnar already knows about the problem. 2. Aliya, I take offense at your statement that I'm trying to kiss up to the wiz's on Wiley. After hearing several of the gods talking about all the negative comments being thrown at them, I thought it might be nice to pay them a compliment or two. I am usually one of the bigger complainers..er..critical observers myself. :) 3. I wholeheartedly agree with Drizzt about having the your spell (prac- tice) lists accessable when sleeping. I see no reason that a character who uses spells so frequently would not have a few dreams about them. :) Kalamar . I HATE Daisy now.. (Bleys) Fri Feb 12 17:29:11 1993 And you know why... Bleys .

A friend suggested that he would like to see werewolves and a weredargon with a human form and a human size dragon form. He also was wondering about being able to bet on the games in the arena in highstaff. I was wondering if there was a place where you could dock boats temporaryly if you buy one and If we would see horses and/or chairiots. thats it fer now....the forest and horses/chairiots are my main interests. Thanxs fer listening Drizzt . Reply in General (Cyric) Sat Feb 13 10:30:23 1993 Spell durations, nothing new has been added nor changed in the game for along time, I don't want to recompile until I find the bug that makes the server hang and crash..... Ports, harbors and stables are going to be added as soon as the above is fixed....along with some more skills.... Daisy, hating daisy....well, I am kinda partial to daisy...grin...cute blonde at that...

I have no idea why i lost my equipment. So i had to quit ..... so i screamed to ask if anyone could help me , and a character said he could help me... he said he had some extra equipment in gredth so i preceded to goto gredth to pick up some free extra equip and i got killed by a stupid starved man........

(Aliya) Mon Feb 15 00:22:47 1993 Sorry about above...so anyway I was on killing ants with two other people. One got killed and ended up back at the inn. We came to pick him up and an invisible someone was trying to get him to register. I said in general never register. One of the guys I was with told the people to bugg off...because there were more than one trying to get him to register. Well someone called him a jerk and I got upset and said "Bite me you jerk!" Well Highlander thought that I was saying it to him when I was really talking to the invis who was trying to get an innocent to register! That is how I got registered! So anyway...he teleported me to somewhewre I never had even heard of before and I had to beg one guy to summon me to Highstaff...and another I had to pay a whole lot to summon me to the inn...next to eli! I don't think registration should be so easey to do for one and two I think I am owed an apology from Highlander because he did that and I didn't even do anything to him...I wasn't even talking to him to begin with! That just REALLY PISSES ME OFF! Aliya the really disgrunteled P.S. I also think you should be able to unregister once incase you got tricked into it! . immortality (Tithian) Mon Feb 15 02:46:43 1993 Hi Cyric!!! I am writing to ask if the character Tithian could be made immortal. I like the mud and would like to do more to help it along. I have experience with the online editing commands and the role of immortality. It would be an honor to be an immort on this mud. I have seen a few muds go down the drain because new areas were not being added in. I would also like to help design some of the other classes in the AD&D players handbook. Paladins, Druids and Bards would be a great addition to the game. Feel free to summon me at anytime. I will tell you more of my experience and my internet address personally. Please let me know either way. Thanks....... Tithian High Templar of the King Kalak's Games . please help (Palas) Mon Feb 15 02:54:54 1993 This guy, named Ryno, then later LouSuckPalasDick keeps telling me messages or or shoutg at me, please get him removed from the system.

Bleys (Daisy) Mon Feb 15 05:32:37 1993 Hello, Contact me via email so I can explain something to you. This week is going to be too busy to do it here online. Daisy . YOU BETTER READ THIS! (Succubus) Mon Feb 15 07:44:50 1993 This MEANS YOU! First I wanted to say what a fine Job is being done here. It encourages lots of people to spend lots of time playing games. GAME is the key word here. I think that some things here should be taken a little less seriously. Some problem could be ridden of if players would save. I've played several diffent classes and characters on this mud, experiencing the best of everything. I've caused my share of trouble, and I've had more than my share of fun. But what I was saying is that I have NEVER EVER EVER lost anything in rent or because of a game crash. I've died SAVED and a crash occured. I had all my stuff. I've accidentally quit right before a crash. Miraculusly gotten my stuff back, SAVED, then crash...I still had all my stuff. As for Daisy, how could anyone and I do mean ANYONE, how could anyone harbor any ill fealings towards such a wonderful woman? And I think it has been sufficiently brought up that registering is a dangerous thing to do. AND that it can't be reversed. AND that even then Cyric and Co. have installed NOSUMMON and NOTELEPORT so People like Highlander can't teleport you to a nasty place. By the way, Nice try on me Highlander. Well, you all take care, and don't let the Demoness get you in the night. *Succubus* . Agree with Succubus (Baradakus) Mon Feb 15 09:11:03 1993 I agree wholeheartedly with Succubus. I've also played several characters and spent more than my share of time on this mud, and I've never had a problem with losing equipment. Save is an important command, and it does work. The gods have been more than generous in installing safeguards to the game like no- summon and registering; at some point characters have to start taking responsibility for themselves (*grin*). Thanks for a great mudding experience! BARADAKUS . My two cents.... (Harlequin) Mon Feb 15 10:31:26 1993 And since I've got some weight around here, it's gonna be a BIG two cents....*snicker*... SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE. Succubus is right, the only way you can lose your stuff around here is if you either A.) Don't save at all, or B.) you die and don't get a chance to save, i.e. the game crashes as you die. So save save save. Get tintin and set up a macro to suto automatically save you at various points. It really helps. Palas: (and anyone else for that matter) Just because you don't see us on the who list, doesn't mean we are not on. If someone is bugging you that way, just give a shout and we'll help you out. Of course, just seeing a name like LouSucksPalasDick or something is grounds enough for us to kick the person off the game.... REGISTERING: Yes, we have warned time and time again that to register leaves you open to much mischief, even Eli tells you this before registering, and ultimately, the one responsible for your actions in life is yourself. If, after all the warnings, you register, well...hey, we warned ya! FOREST: *cackle* HORSES etc.: There are already mounts in the game, and I'm sure that as soon as Cyric vanquishes the evil nasty bug that is making the game hang, stables and kennels will be forthcoming. . OH yeah... (Harlequin) Mon Feb 15 10:39:29 1993 About Highstaff. I've seen many players of many classes make the trip to highstaff with ease. The trick to getting past the giants and orcs? Move REAL fast...*cackle*...Works for me! . lewer (Rolly) Mon Feb 15 12:18:48 1993 i miss you. please read your mail. love, me .

If you're below 6th level, it will be somewhere in or near Shylar (rangers get to track down their wandering guildmaster in the grasslands).

Then I just discovered a cemetary in the redspines... I might be able to find it again if anybody is interested. There's keeps everywhere... I think the key's should be strewn about the map so we can go in and use them as our own. And there should definately be rules set for what a keep costs, cuz Dorn needs one and can probably afford it. Oh, and until there's a reset, avoid Gredth. Just trust me.

I tried to update the "info" command a bit... that might be helpful. Good to see ya back! . RE:Scourge (Quixadhal) Wed Feb 14 18:44:20 1996 Yup, afraid Scourge really does have that good of stats. He's always had good stats since the days of Wiley I, which was before *I* had ever seen it (I came into Wiley II). Since he's had to restart his character (which had progressed to level 50) at least twice now, I don't see granting him his original stats as anything unusual. By right, he should also have a keep and be 50th level too. I would hope that you might expect a similar respect when whoever takes over this place erects Wiley IX and you log into it as a newbie. I'd also hope the other players respected and feared you as one of the Ancients who Knows. . barrel (Questor) Wed Feb 14 23:02:47 1996 What happened to the barrel in the bar? . scourge (Dorn) Thu Feb 15 14:26:27 1996 My bet's are puck has nothing to say now...

Experience is now handled differently for groups.... if you are not grouped, or grouped only with yourself... you should get full exp for mobs (plus a 10% bonus for registered servents of Quixadhal!). Groups of 2 or more will find the ratios changed a bit... I tried to make it fair to both multi-classers and singles and NOT to lose too much exp in the division. Let me know how that works out.

Respect us or ELSE!!! . YES! (Suckling) Wed Mar 27 23:56:46 1996 Thank you Dread Lord! For those of you who don't know... there is a new kick-ass command. DESECRATE! This is the way to control the number of corpses that linger about WITHOUT having to become a goody-two-shoes. Muahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . guilds (Rincewind) Sun Jun 9 20:43:02 1996 where are the guilds and how do you raise to the next level?. I found the places where i can practise... but i don't know how to advance to the next level . Guilds (Sedna) Sun Jun 9 22:39:21 1996 It would be easy for me to give it away, but wouldn't it be easier to9 read the descriptions and find out for yourself? All of the guildmasters are right here in Shylar. Try entering the prac and gain command to see what each one will do for you. I'll keep watching in case your online so I can help you out. Sedna the grimy code devil . guilds.. (Rincewind) Mon Jun 10 15:39:15 1996 oh... i found them alright... but i couldn't figure out how to raise levels.. as the gain command was not on the help... you need better help files on skills... and does your mastery of your skills increase each time you use it? . gain (Sedna) Thu Jun 13 12:20:01 1996 Apparently, it is not. I'll ask Quixadhal to add the gain command to the help command list. Also, the command ALLCOMMANDS will give a list of all available commands available to players. And, yes, your skill does increase to a certain level by use of the skill. Each time you cast a spell, use a fighting or stealing skill or use a weapon of a particular class, that skill gets better up to what is known as fair, I believe. TO improve the skill knowledge to master, you must practice it once or twice after you get it to fair. . my skills disappeared (Fnord) Sun Aug 18 19:21:33 1996 I have lost all my skills. I had the following skills track - superb apraise - superb punch - very fair barehand - very fair . my skills disappeared part II (Fnord) Sun Aug 18 19:29:49 1996 and I have line noise on my phone, but even immortals cannot stop that..... Anyway, I rented last night and when I logged in today my character had no skills . Spell Duration (Gilric) Thu Aug 29 08:22:45 1996 Just a quick question on spell duration. Do my spells last longer as I advance my level? and if so do my cleric spells last as long as a 6th lvl cleric and my mage spells at only 5th level? Gilric 'ooopps was I suppose to bury that' .

(Hugh) Wed Nov 20 00:33:00 1996 Well.. where to start.. first off, I would love to know why the gods keep killing my character.. especially when there are only about 3 people who even come around here anymore in the first place. This game used to be fun, I thought about finding a new mud.. but simply decided to stay on this one because the interaction was normaly good.. but oh well, I guess my friends and I simply find a new mud, no problem. . The Land is Dead (Quixadhal) Tue Mar 30 16:35:15 1999 Greetings wanderers. Whatever storm has driven you to this ancient place, I hope you find it accomodating.
