thats a good idea drilixer, and saphire it would be cool to mine like that, with the money potential it would be a great way for guilds to get their money. but fish, they did get stuff like granite and marble (how do u think they made all those big buildings like the taush mahal or how ever u spell it) the grantie and marble and other hard rocks have grains, much like wood. so the ainctient quarriers and miners used chissles and wedges to seperate the rocks thru the grain, it was long,hard, and expensive, but they did do it wich might also ad an idea for quarrying in this game, eh?

you guys... necromancers arent usually undead... they deal with undead. Although necros can be undead (if they are unlucky) they are actually a class... not a race.

ur right, but i beleive necros should be highly discriminated much like undead races, and it probly would be best as a class, (that would be cool, a skeleton necro)

i like the eve/swg way of mining/making things (with still keeping it unique of corse)

1: I servey the land for ore, find a nice spot in a cave or sumtin

2:grab ur tool, whether that be a pick axe, or a shovel or w/e (the better the tool the faster you mine per sec.)

3:once u gather ur ore (different ore will have different wieght) carry it back to ur little set up (it must have a anvil and a u must equip a hammer and tongs)a good idea would be to use a donkey or a pack animal of somekind, for realy big jobs u might have to hire some ppl (wich i think a caravan full of ore would be nice for a bandit raid or sumtin ~ )

4:select wich thing to make(based on wut u stuff u know how to make, u can learn it by watching other ppl make it or by reading books \\ the laerning will be on a percentage kinda value, like u watch a guy make something u get 30% learned, the next time u watch him make the same thing u might have 60% learned, books will be 1 shot kindaa stuff but would be more rare, for harder items it will take longer to learn)

5:once u make it u can tinker with it, adding more points to stuff like, magic resistance, ect. (u have more points to spend on tinkering based on ur smithing lvl) but there is a chance that \'tinkering\' can fail, of corse, depending on ur skills
(this will make for some diversed items, u can sell it like\"steel armor, all magic resistant, non fighter spec\" i think this would be quite interesting)

i dunno wut to say, like they said on the tech help forum, they havnt come out with much answers yet..
but to keep u busy while the new version comes out, a nice free 3d game to kee p u busy called priston tale, not much but it will keep u busy fer shure
u can find it at http://www.pristontale.com

Name: Ahnkthra (god i realy suck at naming, i got it from an egyptian thing to try to keep the theme goin)

Pop: Mostly humans, dosnt exzactly matter to me if there are other races

Location: heck if i know, i havnt been around much in the game so i couldnt tell ya, but somewhere by a wasteland or desert would be nice, try to make it modereately inaccesable(ie harder monsters around it, mountains sorrounding it, ect) i say moderatley because i dont want like only lvl 40 ppl or w/e i want everyone to have a chance to go there, even with a low lvl (like make it so they can go on top of the mountains or w/e and risk a longer trip instead of goin through a wasteland/desert of monsters

Services: Animal trainer, a small inn, a blacksmith, a wall sorounding the city with 2 gaurds gaurding each exit, a couple of tents scattered and sorrounding in/around the town, and about 4 to 6 other little to medium sized houses

Description: Not much u say!? BAH. the city is very small and unoticable, no even rememerable, but it is a stop from the harshes of the desert....But the real cool stuff is with the npc\'s when u talk to the townsfolk walkin around town, and ask like wuts up? they reply with this kinda general thing, hmmmm i dont know i woke up today and all my clothes were in tatters... and stuff like, i saw a horrible creature last night, it looked human but it was obscured by the shadows, ect, and when night comes......WATH OUT!!! all the npcs turn into either zombies or skeletons. very cool. u can kill them but the corpses stay and when morning comes they al return to they\'er normal state, none the wizer....And because of the gaurds absence during night, creatures of the desert can walk into the city.OH MY. i like this idea, very very good quest potiential

Architecture: arabian kinda style weapons found here, squared mud houses, to keep the arabian style theme

god dang, if i had a nickle for everytime i reached lvl 20 in that game....well....id have enuf nickles to buy me a McClaren f1 (dang that car is hot)
i was actually fooled by buying planes of power expansion, where u can go to diferent dimensions to fight a whole array of monsters and get new weapons...
YAY, but only to find that the demensions or w/e the _ell
those places are can only be accesed by, did u guess it, lvl 40 or more characters ect...
another thing, there are thousands of items in that game...i thought was cool...but they turned out to be just duplicated items with different names. m,aybe u can find a nice dagger or sumtin for the lower lvls, and get the same one except for its only for lvl 14 and has a different description or w/e.
god, the maps are also very very small. u look at the map poster thing they give u in the box, it shows u vast lands and extended deserts....i walked across kunark \'continent\' in about 10 mins, the kurns tower or w/e and the \'ancient lake\' right infront of it is more like a.........dried up pond, maybe with some bones scattered everywere for a nice efect...

the game is so slow its unbeleivable, it takes me almost 2 minutes to be able to move/do anything. Is this just lag or is it not, and, if so is there something i can do to fix it??
