Farewell Underworld!
The time has finally come for me to close my coffin for good and leave the game so I can join the long list of players who have moved on ahead of me (more and more now).
Special thanks to my friends and clannies in Vault Thirteen, the clan which I have been proud to lead for some time now, but also to all the fantastic peeps in Source, where I was before. Thanks also to my friends and allies all over the place, and also my worthy adversaries.
Vault Thirteen will now be led by Terjohnny, and I am more than satisfied that the guys will be in safe hands. Thanks for everything guys - it has been a pleasure.
I have been thinking about leaving the game for some time now, but to be honest ever since the AN wars finished, the game has become a toxic and fetid dead-end for me. The game is supposed to be fun, but it has ended-up being too bitchy and cliquey and the politics are just annoying now. If I want a soap-opera I just turn on the telly! Except that I hate soap-operas, lol.
Although I have a few projects in the pipeline, I just don't have the heart to continue on and finish them. There is also no fight in me anymore.
Remember me how you will - opponents and allies alike. I hope to think I was generally a peacemaker. There will always be war in Underworld though, but not my war. I fought the good war and won, but now it's time to retire. I hope that at least I have helped with a few buildings, badges and merge-routes along the way. A few recent ones:
Light Cape of Speed (maka)
P Tiger's Hat of Adrenaline (maka)
Assault Heady of Precog (Sherah)
Tit Sig of Youth (Floydy)
Tit suffixed jewels (Helldemon, chops, Floydy)
Murderous Fist of Sui (maka)
Regal Suit of Toughness (chops)
Tiger's Mask of Adrenaline (Floydy)
a few of my own:
Questing:
---------
Good Runic Mask of Senses (+2) - merging-up to Sun (have components)
Good Runic Tailcoat of the Cobra (+2)
Good Titanium Tie of Accuracy (+5)
Good Titanium Signet of Accuracy (+5)
Good Titanium Signet of Accuracy (+5)
Good Runic Kilt of the Strongman (+2)
Good Caring Knuckle-duster of the Clan (+2)
Good Caring Knuckle-duster of the Clan (+2)

Perfect Cape of the Death Sower (+1)
Good Titanium Tie of Accuracy (+5)
Good Titanium Signet of Accuracy (+5)

Perfect Elvish Shorts of Secrecy
Legendary Perfect Throwing knife of Reaction
Sometimes use G4 Tiger's Bandanna of Precog. Have components for P1 wep. Have 4 kilts ready to merge-up to P1 Elvish Kilt of Shepherd (equippable for Absorbers when level 89).
Defence:
------------
Good Battle Circlet of Punishment (+2)
Good Regal Suit of Toughness (+2)
Good Titanium Tie of the Pilgrim (+2)
Good Titanium Bracelet of Authority (+2)
Good Titanium Bracelet of Authority (+2)
Good Compound Trousers (+1)
Good Friendly Club of the Ancestors (+2)
Good Friendly Knife of the Ancestors (+2)
Have components for all of these to go to P, and then maybe even Black Rose would not be able to kill me, lol. Actually no, he probably still would.
A few words of advice to those who want to maximise game enjoyment: share resources and give poh and protection hits, help build, help with badges for juniors, chat with guys in other clans and make friends, but more than anything else - just have fun - it's only a poxy wee game at the end of the day!
Delete character button will soon be pressed, and I'm nekkers now, so come and get some while you can.
That's it peeps - game over

For the record, there was no assurance or guarantee. I said I would do what I could (which I did), against a lot of opposition from numerous players in a number of clans I may add. Why is this do you think? Even this morning I was discussing this matter - trying for a solution, but I do not force people to do things, and the decision was not mine to make.
There has been a lot of square shuffling going on recently, mainly due to A_N taking / destroying squares, and some players are just going to lose out by definition. I have been actively involved in trying to return squares to a number of players, but can't please all the people all the time...

To make a Murderous Thunderfist of Sui you need components which you can buy on auction. After that you need to know how to merge them. Knowing how to use them will also help a lot. Finally you need a lot of Intel and Know. Intel is more important though.

I think this is the worst expo dry-patch ever! V13 players are threatening to quit the game and some are going on vac 2 days after hatchery reset, then coming on again for reset, playing for 2 days, then going on vac again. Can somebody pls tell me how it is that a great game can be made so boring, when it could be so easy to fix by simply making it cheaper to spawn and by having more mobs?
Strangely enough the smaller mobs are still plentiful, but funnily enough there are lots of players no longer getting any kicks from Black Dragons (yes, lots of sarcasm intended). Something needs sorting-out and quickly, or I'm outta here too...
Grrrrrrr!

The next available attack and quest - while not that important - does not detract from the game at all, so I'm all for it. And any extra information (whether used or not) can help players. It would be nice to see when the last incoming attack happened (or when next incoming attack is possible), because I often accidentally (stupidly) delete my attacks and then try to remember how long ago the last one was! As for FB - I'm with Hespera on this one, but it's easy enough to not subscribe. As long as FB-connectivity does not disadvantage non-users it's a good idea. Question on FB connectivity: once deselected, is it possible to setup the connectivity again?

I have returned from my hols, and have been catching-up on some reading. Seems I missed this post when I logged-on while on hols.
Thank to all who have offered an opinion on the Legendary Uzi auction and the resulting ban. Very interesting reading! I have discussed and sorted this out with Sj, and will be returning to Underworld shortly, after (reluctantly) accepting my ban.
When I initially saw the permanent ban for pushing I just wanted to leave the game, thinking SOD THIS! It actually took me a long time to find out who bid for it. I have no idea why so many stones were bid, but this certainly was not a push, and there was no communication between me and Costa. I DID see the end of the auction before I went on vac mode, but did not report it, as I thought to myself, GREAT, lots of stones. I did not think (THINK??? What kind of rule is that anyway?) I had received too many stones for it, so did not report it. So, secure in the knowledge that I had not cheated, I turned vac mode on with a smile on my face. BOSH, permanent ban!
The problem here is that there is no DEFINITIVE answer to what is too many stones. Yes, it's true that past auctions provide an idea, but the game changes and perhaps as suggested here, a player may bid (even if it's the first bid for the item in question) a really high bid to secure the item if they are not able to be online when the auction ends.
To end, I would just like to say thx again to all who replied. I don't want Sj replaced. He's an ok guy. I just want to be treated fairly and according to the rules. Just BE AWARE that what you think and I think may not be what Sj thinks. If in doubt, do as Nayrlien does and get advice. On the other hand, reporting auctions can also result in a ban as Horst has advised.

Oh, and b.t.w. I THINK that communism does not and never will work, that the war on Iraq was a bad idea and that global warming is a simple matter of cyclical patterns of the earth cooling then warming up due to it's angle to the sun. My point? These are contentious issues, lol

Dear Fellow Bloodsuckers,
I'm afraid that by unfortunate coincidence there happens to be a "Flash" (not me) and a "FlashBlade" (meeeee, moi, yrs truly) on the new Necropolia server. Flash, pls accept my apologies for this (FlashBlade is my Underworld name, but peeps know me as Flash). I see from Flash's description that a number of you out there have msg'ed poor old Flash (thinking it was little ol' me), and he has rightly got the hump about this.
So (humbly), if any of my fans out there want to indulge in a bit of Flash-a-lash chit-chat, pls msg FlashBlade here, FlashBlade in Underworld or FlashBlade2 in Necropolia.
Thx folks,
Flash(Blade)

| Thread: Up/Down arrows in armoury. |
|
|
Apologies if this thread is a bit old to post on, but as I am still banned, I'm catching-up on some reading
I understand that armoury items are stored by ShelfId then ItemId. I believe this relationship would be improved by adding a ShelfOrderId. I work extensively with relational databases, so know this would not present too much of a problem.
I would like to make the following points re this discussion:
1. Players would (I'm sure) like to order items WITHIN shelves. This sounds like a trivial point, but when rapidly attempting to change items equipped, having to browse withing a shelf takes precious time. I can't count how many times I have been ambushed while (forgive me for the expression) my pants are down and I'm looking for the right ones to equip.
2. ItemId's auto-increment as they are gained (bought / found), resulting in the latest acquisition automatically finding it's way to the bottom of the shelf. So, for e.g. if I find a decent item and move it to my weps shelf, it will ALWAYS be at the bottom of that shelf regardless. I may want it at the top.
3. The point that a screen refresh would take time is valid, but once a player orders a shelf, this relationship would be in place until reordered, so when clicking from Messages back to Armoury would not take any longer than it currently does.
4. Finally, I would like to be able to name my shelves (Helmets, Pants, etc). Back to relational database design, it would require an additional column called ShelfName and a bit of scripting to add this feature.
So, dev's I hope you can please take a min to read. And thx guys, I am a huge fan of this game!

My dear fellow bloodsuckers,
I have been in contact with Sj regarding the auction of my Legendary Uzi. This is going well, and I expect to return to the game as soon as possible.
I have requested that all my stones and the Legendary Uzi be taken away from me, as well as stating that I wish I had never found the thing in the first place!
Sj has stated that both contentious Legendary Uzi auctions were bought by the same bidder "who has probably left the game". I still do not know who the buyer of my Uzi was.
My only hope now (if of course I am allowed to play again) is that I am not considered to be a cheat, as I (and I stress this) most certainly did not have any contact with the bidder. The high price of the first Legendary Uzi influenced my opinion of what "market value" for these things are.
I am satisfied that admins have made the correct responses where necessary, and I hope this matter is now resolved (or very close to be).
I will make one final post to bring this thread to an end as and when I hear back from Sj.

The anger that I initially felt when I realised that I was banned for a totally legitimate auction is now fading, and I'm starting to look at this rationally. I understand that I am able to undo the ban and face a 20 day ban. If (hypothetically) I were to do this, then what would stop me simply putting the Legendary Uzi back on auction, but this time I would set the min price at 5 SS and not the 650 or so I did last time. Would I get banned again then? Think about it... This is crazy! Legendary items like this do not grow on trees, and when they are lucky enough to be found, they will sell for lots of stones.
Enough of the stones issue though, a more pertinent issue for me is the one of cheating. Quite simply, I have been banned for pushing. Surely the way to prove this is to check personal messages, then be able to say either way? If there is no evidence of messages between buyer and seller, then surely the auction is a legitimate transaction between buyer and seller.
Has this check been done? I still have no idea who the buyer is. Have they been contacted to check why they bid so many stones, or if they are willing to "undo" the auction?
To ban somebody simply because they receive lots of stones for a highly desired item is grossly unfair! I do not wish to play on a server when I have been accused of cheating, and I'm afraid that unless this is resolved and a post made stating so, I will be forced to quit the game. My integrity is at stake here, as there are clearly still players out there that believe the auction was a push.
I have to say though the response in my favour by my friends and clanmates has been unbelievable, which has humbled me and has made me feel better about the whole thing.
I look forward to a reply stating how I am to proceed with this.

I'm currently on vac, and will be returning on Mon 16th Feb. I hope this mess will be sorted out by the powers that be on my return.
Fact: I found a Legendary Uzi on a quest and put it up for auction.
Fact: It sold for lots of stones.
Fact: I have no idea who bid on it.
Fact: I will delete my account on my return if this smear on my name is not cleared up.
Apologies to my good friends and clanmates in Source for any hassle this has caused.
Many thanks,

I am currently in a critical period of gameplay, and while clicking a button I accidentally double-clicked it, and have been banned for 1 hour as a result. Surely this is going a little overboard?
