Likewise!

Once I obtain enough gold to buy Juli's Animation and a small sewing kit (have quite a bit to vendor, when I next log-on later in the week), I'll head on over to Innothule swamp to try my luck there. Nektulos has been quite good, however am starting to tired of the gloom and want a different experience.

I did manage to visit EC Tunnel and the screen-shot below (link) made me extremely happy - just like old times.

Experienced my first death - if you don't count being knocked unconscious and spending the next two, comical minutes regaining and losing consciousness killing a Spiderling in Nektulos - last night in Southern Ro.

Reapplied invis after missing the Innothule zone and ending back at the Oasis / SRo zone line, without performing a 360 camera pan beforehand. Sneaky Puma caught me unawares from behind, and couldn't outrun it after being stunned several times. Quick /loc and a familiar reacquaintance with "LOADING. PLEASE WAIT".

Then discovered bind in Nektulos is near Newbie Log, which of course means aggroing Decaying Skeleton and Black Wolf. Fortunately, found an Iron Golem to smash my welcome party to pulp, before making my way back to Neriak Entrance to re-mem, and head to retrieve my corpse and continue onward to Innothule.

Forgotten how evocative the music and landscape of the Ro desert truly is - not to mention how goddamn big those Dune Tarantulas and Sand Giants are. The sky settings are not truly classic, but graphical enhancements are a welcome addition that increase the immersion and bring out the beauty of the Ro desert (SRo in particular, is majestic).

The experience just keeps getting better and better with super friendly players. Will be taking a break for a few days to pacify my fiancée's increasing aggro.

Run diagonally!

Imagine a right angled triangle...

Note the diagonal edge is longer than the edges adjacent to the right angle? Essentially the distance covered by running sideways and forwards at the same is greater than the distance you could have achieved in the same time by running only forwards (or only sideways).

Praise Pythagoras and be safe from pumas!

Edit: I've also always imagined adding a jump when starting running seems to give a head start too.

My sojourn in Innothule has been mixed: made a friend (brand new player - Troll Warrior) and gained 2 levels; then lost a level, regained, then lost it again, after dying a couple of times, and then getting jumped by a DBS (Dry Bones Skeleton) in SRo.

The final indignity was forgetting to stock up on food and water for my CR, and not being able to regen mana to cast Invis =/

Once I find and loot my corpse in SRo, I'll head back to Neriak to complete a quest, then Gate back to Innothule. The Trolls in Grobb seem to accept me, and I am nursing some major payback to Frogloks, Fungus Trackers & Watchers, the Kobold Hunter, and the (spit!) Nobles - particularly Bunk Odon.

My setbacks only strengthen my resolve to strive towards improvement. My Chanter's fortunes will dramatically improve once I obtain my 12th level spells. Once I obtain my 8th level spells, I also need to buy a pair of Silver Rose Engagement Rings, then think about the Stein of Moggok quest.

I'm experiencing 2nd thoughts on my Chanter as a main. I might shelve her for a while and roll a Human Innoruuk worshipping SK.

I will be severely gimped on equipment due to my policy of non-twinkling and only buying player crafted equipment. However, I actively seek the challenge of learning a different class, and in a manner which interests and stimulates me - from a RP perspective (Human Innoruuk worshipper).

Since I'm in no rush to 60, I am - and always was - much more interested in the journey. Given that Velious is on the horizon, there should be opportunities opening in terms of where to group / level and classes as everyone jumps on their main and hauls ass to Velious.

Given my leisurely playing schedule (and fiancée aggro), I require a class that can group and solo where required. Preference will always be balanced towards the former - although finding groups of like-minded individuals who are understanding of my foibles (non-twink / non-buying dropped loot), may prove to be equally challenging.

Slaughtering Halflings is a goal worth no small amount of short / medium term pain. Hail Innoruuk!

nice a lot of euros playing now i see!

^^Crazy talk re: switch to SK. This kind of thing is why I only achieved 24th level on Live re: alt-itis. Am sticking with my original Chanter plans.

We are now resuming our regular schedule.
