That's the way to do it. You don't train any kind of mage if all you have is a noob warrior who can't kill elems or have like 20k in your bank account. Mages are a priviledge to those who have invested some time in the game and already have the necessary resources to train a good mage.

The thing is there are ALOT of people that simply turn on an external macro program and its like you dont even have to play to train your skills. Just gotta be sitting somewhere around your computer.. I mean the ones who did it totally by hand or with ingame macros are 90% of people and 90% of them end up quitting because its ridiculous training here unless you use tricks or external macros. Like your herding 8 bears into a building shit. I mean you did that because it was too hard to do the other way, and you and cv both admitted that yourselves in the rule 23 thread so...

For one i think skills should gain a little faster and that external macro programs shouldnt be allowed at all... and MED should gain auto.... As 95% of people who have it GMed have afked it..

Or hey if your gonna allow external programs then how about making a tutorial for all the new players that come and have no idea how to set that kinda thing up....

Seriously is this shard gonna be about training which is basically the same as working a boring as job 8 hours a day - or fun...

Decide...

That doesn't always work. I also have two screens and was talking in irc about obs and didnt respond fast enough and was raped for being afk for 1 min because I was typing in the other screen. Sometimes staff need to think about the fact not all of us are nerds. I am the look at kb and use two fingers to type kinda person.

Well afk is one thing and then there are external macro programs so you dont have to hit a key every 5 secs (or at all actually).. And im pretty sure you did use those... And that is like |-| <-this close to the ease that afk macroing is.

By the way coder, take no offence to him, hes like this with every one, every one has blocked him out.

30 minutes a day is little, I'd say if you can find an hour a day, then its worth it, but 30 minutes a day takes for ever!

My motivation thats keeping me here is my freinds

lmao ashes you selfish self harming motherf ... surely u have some brothers in arms (...slicing..) around here? maybe even a few closet emos...

Anyways, Motivation for playin...believe it or not obsidian is the closest thing in terms of features that i could find similar to the uo shards i remember many moons ago except for one or two things (basically just the features we have disabled for being buggy or what not, long term players will know what i mean) - and even with recent criticisms i still likes it here

Anyways coder, its an online mmorpg, so theirs interactivity between people from all around the world, you get to meet some jerks like emo, and some intersting other people.
So you can stay to meet new people, or for the game.
If you dont enjoy the game, but you enjoy the people that play this very game, then play.
And if you hate the people that play this game, but like the game, play and train your guy to pvp all the people you hate.
