I honestly don't know what's going on with the dwarves as I've only played humans since coming back to EOE. Nonhumans don't really interest me much to roleplay when humanity allows for so much diversity in mentality and expression without adding grasping at imaginary standards of what another race should be like to what I'm trying to achieve via roleplay.

There are a lot of positive about the game. I think the staff are generally fair, and do stuff. They respond to criticisms of their code by fixing it instead of bashing you. I generally like the code. I like how you can branch stuff (without having to play unrealistically). It seems they are letting some people do stuff. Really seems like it has a lot of potential.
They could use some more things done with keywords in targetting and figuring out what is what in a room. Having to remove something (in my hand) before putting it my pack makes me bonkers.The documentation seems a little contradictory in my opinion.
The players are a bit twinkish for my taste. They will find a way to justify any amount of spamming skills. Despite what anyone else's experiences are, I've seen a lot of PK first mentality.
I brought three friends over. >Shockingly< they agree with me. I think we'll vote with our feet, for now.

I've seen a lot of PK first mentality. I will send you a $10 gift card for Xmas if you can pm me an actual example of someone being 'pked first' by anyone besides the historian/poisoner. Don't post it here, but send me a message about it, so that no one's story will be ruined. I am that confused by how you got this notion. And that convinced that you're wrong. I would literally pay you to prove yourself right. |

I actually had several conversations with the Historian. He never once threatened anyone of us. He gave someone a winter cloak.

An actual example?
I was sitting there and a guy walks in and pulls out his weapon and attacks.

An actual example? I was sitting there and a guy walks in and pulls out his weapon and attacks. After witnessing a whole slew of talking while hidden in front of you, picking up darts in front of you while hidden and chuckling, throwing poisoned darts and rocks while hidden in the same room, or an adjacent one (with soldier npcs in them), hiding right in front of you as your talking/trying to subdue him, and then spam-fleeing, hiding and then repeating all of what I stated above ^^^^^^....... or backstab - flee - hide - backstab - flee - hide - backstab - flee - hide - backstab - flee - hide - backstab - flee hide.....need I go on? My point is, when your faced in a situation of code abuse whos twinking like no other, tell me, would you afford the pc who's been doing the above in over five instances, the luxury of stand - hide - sneak s - pull dart belt - throw dart north while in room with soldier - move into room - chuckle as he picks up the dart in front of you - shit-talk while hidden in front of you - repeat? If you can justify that, I'll be truly shocked. |

That wasn't me. I can only say what I personally saw.

In my case I went afk like 30 seconds. Come back to combat spam from a guy I never even interacted with before. But I'm sure he had good reasons to!

I understand. I was just trying to put you in.....my shoes. This is what I personally saw from the Historian. EoE is a great mud, and the staff are amazing. The pbase is good, we all have our flaws, and this was what was happening before they tweaked the code. The humans are fresh and new, and you have to give the game a chance while it builds itself up. The pbase is growing, and theres been triple the amount of board posts and activity in EoE than there has been in any other RPI Mud when it started up. We are all trying extremely hard to keep the game going, and if you see a problem, or disagree with something - post on the forums, start a discussion about it, work together to fix and improve the game. But dont vote with your feet just yet...what happens right now, sets the foundations for the humans in EoE.

It's just too time consuming to lose your characters because a high skilled veteran player feels like being a bull and PKing at will.

Your example, if it's the one I'm thinking about which was, I know for a fact, a case of mistaken identity, it was someone trying to defend themselves against someone else who looked to all extents and purposes like the historian, from a glance, and got attacked for it, because the person attacking had the historian try to kill them 3-4 times if not more before that happened, and resulted in a discussion of policy, law and clan changes, and a talking to with the player. I'm assuming you're talking about the guy who was wearing the same cloak as the historian, with its hood up, and wound up getting attacked over it in a world where your hoods hide your mdesc. Which is... frankly something that I don't think proves your point to start with, but taking the consideration of its aftermath into affect, actually totally counters your claim. Unless you're talking about someone else? I admit I could be mistaken with regards to that.
I've not seen anyone even try to pk anyone else, aside from the Historian, and a law enforcement officer trying to apprehend a criminal that had been murdering people, who mistook his identity and accidentally killed someone else, which came with a fair bit of aftermath and examination and change based on what happened.

You are just plain wrong. I know someone got PKed this morning by the same guy who attacked me. And I know of one criminal besides the Historian and the law did try and PK them but they had never killed anyone and I know that for a fact.

If you're registered on the forums there, there's a post about it, and it was an accident, wherein the person died because they didn't know that dual wielding worked the way it did, it was not someone trying to kill someone else, but someone trying to stun someone else.

That must be referencing a different PK. This fight was long and drawn out, not two hits, with a chase etc. They also plainly stated they were going to kill. No way he forgot he was dual wielding since he patiently swapped his weapon configuration beforehand.
