Is there anyway to make the inventory box bigger or make the fonts in them smaller?  When I look at my crystal count, I have to guess because the final digit is cut off.  ?(

No biggie, knowing within 10 is good enough    But I will like to fix if possible.

Anyone else have that problem?

or pushing some afk person out of town and into the claws of bad monsters where he/she gets killed.

Here\'s an idea I would like to see...there should be some note if a player is afk.  That is, if you know you are going afk you can enter an afk command and it would be noted in your label, or the label could be in italics or something.  That way, rather than wasting time and talking to someone only to guess  they are afk, it would be obvious.  Of course, you would still have to remember to declare yourself as afk.

One step further, it could be automatic after a certain period of inactivity with your client, like msn saying your \"away\".  And it could be automatically cancelled once you move.

As it relates to the topic, it could be made that someone tagged as afk could not be pushed.

(maybe this concept has been discussed before, I haven\'t seen anything)

I have xp too.  I tried the win98 compatiblity at first and it was horrible.  Once I unchecked that, everything was fine.  So its not necessary.  And, yes, the video card and RAM make all the difference.

Tried installing on my pc at work (only during lunch...I swear!) with 128mb RAM and nvidia tnt2 m64 and I could barely move.  Got that white screen thing too but it was intermittent but at least I got ingame.  At home with 512mb RAM and a Radeon 9200, things are quite smooth.

I\'m glad I struggled on my machine at work.  It made the play on my home pc all that more enjoyable...I appreciate it more.  

Quoted from Rumblebelly
i\'m kind of on zetsumeis side with this...i don\'t find him to be dishonorable at all in fact i find it fun to try and get the crystal before he does and if he get\'s it first then it\'s his....i have to admit that the first time someone took a crystal i was about to pick up it pissed me off. but then i realised how stupid it was for me to get mad over something i can\'t even hold in my hand\'s and i started to laugh....now when someone does it i just go off and try to find another..........

Yeah, I don\'t think of Zetsumei as dishonorable either.  When I said I had \"Zetsumei fear\" it was a compliment.  :-)  It just means that I feel the need to grab it a little quicker.

And when I was beaten to an emmy on the ledges in the pillar room because I suck at getting around on those, it just made me want get better at that so I practiced (eh, gave me something to do ;-)).  

And nice to see you around Rumble.  We were wondering where you have been.  (I miss your \"har har har\'s\" ;-) )

Yeah, being \"pick-pocketed\" can be annoying but its all part of the game.  If its a ruby, its just not worth getting upset over.  If its an emmy or dia, just greet it first.  At least then for stating your case, you have your chat log as proof (or is that something that was added with Aineko\'s mods?, I forget - in which case you might want to get those if you don\'t already have them).

If your literally standing over it and get picked, yeah, I would think that\'s bad form.  But sometimes its hard to tell whether a player is lagging or just afk.

When I am in the dungeon and spot a crystal, I still have \"Zetsumei fear\".  

Not sure that would matter, if the database is wiped but you can transfer crystals, wouldn\'t you be able to transfer them to any name?  I guess the way it would work is:
1. cb comes out
2. you download and run cb creating new char
3. you go to the page where the crystal exchange is and you give crystals from to

Since the mb char and cb char are in different databases, it wouldn\'t matter which races they are.  You could even give your crystals to someone elses character.  Or will you have to give your password for both  chars?

Am I way off on this or hasn\'t it been decided yet?

I (like everyone else) am avidly awaiting the release of CB, however I have quit worrying about how quickly the update is released.

Me too.  Just collect crystals so you have some nice start up cash for CB.  Its been enough to keep me occupied but that might just be me.  On second thought, no don\'t do that...too many crystal hunters means less for me.    

Very nice video!  All those icons...looks like there will be lots to play with.  Thanks for quenching our thirst a bit!
