QuoteOn Friday, July 31, between 2am and 5am EDT, we will be taking down our router in NYC to replace one of its interface cards. We expect for this to cause approximately a 15-45 minute network outage for this location, during which time all services will be unreachable.

This work is part of an upgrade to double our capacity there. Later in the day, we will be activating new 40G links, which we expect to be a seamless process that will not require downtime, though it may need to brief routing reconvergence -- that should occur shortly after 2pm EDT.

Pretty fucking sweet PC Wanch.  I really enjoyed  the few interactions I had with  the princess of party.

Dead.  I'd hoped to get a lot more mileage out of him, but that's EFU.

Excellent first PC, I much enjoyed my interactions with her.  Hope to see you around.

Unbeknowest to him, Clyde earned his keep playing at the odd rural tavern prior to his awakening in ring 100.  Though the memories didn't linger the dissatisfaction did, and Clyde quickly attached himself to a crazy woman on a quixotic quest to become a dragon in a bid for storytelling glory, since that was the only way he would ever be anything of significance.  And what a crazy journey it was.

Clyde was my first serious attempt at a bard, and I went in resolute on RPing that he was in fact producing some sort of music and not just giving everybody AB and damage bonuses.  He was meant to be background noise - a low-stress low-hassle PC to hench for somebody other flavorful PC.  Clyde didn't really make any waves (though he put Velastra into some difficult situations with his carelessness), but in true EFU fashion he ended up being quite a bit less casual than intended.

I had planned on writing far more songs and stories than I ended up doing, partially because I blow at writing songs, and partially because I just felt like spending the time I had doing something else.  Oh well.

[HIDE=The Rattos]
When Clyde awakened he considered rats to be filthy, disgusting creatures. but they seemed to be drawn to his music; in time he was as mesmerized by them as they were of him.

[HIDE=The Varthan Suit]
The most hallowed of Tears of Blood tradition was the wearing of the Varthan suit, which bestowed upon it's wearer the visual acuity that Varthan lacked and an appearance marginally better than that of Varthan's red thong.  Many had the distinct honor or wearing said suit.

[HIDE=Joining House Velstra]
Clyde followed Velastra into joining House Velstra after some nasty savage elves kidnapped her and threatened to kill her son.  Adrian Winespill gave his prosthetic arm to rescue her and gained her loyalty.  The Tears of Blood never fully trusted elves again.

It was a pleasure running the rings with you sir.  And I will always remember the Annette Winespill shutdown you administered!  Ha!

Thanks for all the fun!  When I first heard there was a PC around claiming to be a dragon, I was like "Yeah, I've got to get in on this action."  What a great ride.

Bug Reports / Rope-and-grapple bug in ring 75
November 30, 2019, 09:30:46 PM
There's a rope-and-grapple vertical climb zone in 75 for which the climb-down transition (and the untie-rope trigger) is on the ground right next to the climb-up transition.  Thus when you climb up you can't get back down.

Also, when I climbed up I was completely unable to move around until I logged out and logged back in.

I've got screenshots if needed, but didn't put them here because of spoilerishousness.

I'm out until 11/03 (though I may poke in every once in a while if necessary).

QuoteOne of our upstream providers will be performing maintenance on one of its routers between 1am EDT and 2am EDT on Oct 19. This maintenance may cause brief periods of connectivity loss or increased latency for some clients to your service.

The purpose of this thread is to notify the EFU community of upcoming maintenance by the company that provides us with hosting services.

I think I saw Verata a total of about four brief times , but the tales of her exploits were inescapable .    She brought a lot of flavor to the server and will be missed.

Abala helped me do some testing.  All of the creatures are hostile, but some attack and some don't.

Findings:


  • Factions

    • "Wilderness Predator" faction creatures were hostile but did not attack
    • "Wilderness Hostile" creatures were hostile;  when spawned they would walk away, then change their minds and attack
  • Creatures that attacked

    • Ancient cave
    • Cave bear
    • Mongreldog, Rotfangs was hostile, it attacked
    • Slagslum Bear
  • Creatures that did not attack

    • Nightmare bat
    • Scarred Cat
    • Feral Mastiff
