As this picture of the alliance recently blockading camp banished shows, grouping does have another useful purpose too

Astia a dermorian female is at the end of the forge preparing some metal to make herself new daggers when she hears Gwinn talking with the old drunkard Harnquist.
 
Laughing at Gwinns words she finishes up the job at hand then ambles round into the forge building. Smiling at Gwinn she nods her head towards the slouched and swaying smith 'been at the ale again that one, did you smell it on his breath and how are you by the way Gwinn?'.

Noticing the Dwarf lady and the big Kran she extends her hand to both ' hello im Astia are you two with Gwinn?'.

She whispers to the Dwarf lady 'im making myself some new daggers so you are welcome to have my old ones for free, call it a welcoming gift from Hydlaa if you like. They are a bit worn from use but still very serviceable'.

One problem is they never stop chasing a player unless another players attacks them or the one they chase logs off. Yesterday i saw tefusangs and ulbernauts up the side of cliffs miles from their normal postion. A couple of days back i saw a cuttroat and a tefusang wandering about randomly together so you need to do a big search to find where the creatures have gone. I do know the devs changed the behaviour a little while back to remove ones from the game that got stuck till the next time the server restarted. Im not certain if thats done right now.

I reinstalled many times and now it seemed to work.... the only problem is with the font... it's messy, I can't barely see what's written

Put a TrueType font (.ttf) that you like in data/ttf then edit the psclient.cfg file and change the name for the font to the new one. I use Deja or Vera font. Any updates will likely overwrite your changes. Im not sure if the personal settings psclient.cfg overrides the global one.

Neko has anyone put a feature request in for a /facepalm command? While we're at it what about /throwsuphands /screams /hugs /scratchesear /makesfaceat ... now those i would like to see

Oh yes and on the subject of a better system do some careful research and you can build a great system for little money that can be easilly upgraded for a long while. My last upgrade about a year ago cost around $220 the 2GB of memory being half of that with motherboard dualcore processor and graphics card the other half. Its an SLI board so i can put another graphics card in when needed and im only using half the memory slots. The OCZ memory is the best investment of all as i get solid fast performance from it, no more el-cheapo stuff for me as theres too much grief from it.
My verdict: extremely happy with it so dont shovel money at a rig as its unnecessary and if you cant choose parts yourself get a techie friend to help

I am getting a little frustrated too, with the continual misinformation being spread, the server was up and had been stable for at least 15-20 minutes when I posted that it was up, ask any of the dozen or so who logged in, as soon as I realised it wasnt stable I also posted that information.

As for the 4 days without an update, they were given when info was available, I really dont see the point of an hourly report saying there's nothing to report.

I confirm this as i got on PS for 20 minutes and am glad to say that everything was exactly how i left the game when the server went off so people should stop worrying/speculating  that anything is lost or whatever.

Im grateful to Xordan (i think it was) too who explained whats happened. Every hour that passes is one less till we get the game back right so lets be patient

Hey i just got on the game for 20 mins and killed some trepors. Everything seemed ok and how it was when i last played on friday
