I've definitely killed people in the Bards' Guild. Hilarious. I can't recall offhand if Traders are warded.

I find it fairly hilarious that almost the entire Warrior Mage guild is warded up tighter than the Healerie while the Moon Mage guild hasn't had a single ward since I was like 20th circle.

I just tell people Moon Mages are the real warriors and defenders of the realm now. :\

>>I envision a scenario where anyone can steal from anybody there, and not risk catching an axe or a fireball to the face for doing so, because stealing would be allowed but combat would not.

I didn't say stealing would be allowed, either.

Seriously, here's the reason why the ward was put up, and why it's going to stay there for the time being despite the countless digs and jabs directed sidelong at the GMs about how 'soft' warrior mages are.

The situation outside the guild was causing an inordinate amount of reporting and PvP issues requiring GM intervention. The GM who had to deal with most of these issues was Chakram who, incidentally, was also in charge of the area. He installed the wards to make it easier on all of the CE GMs that had to put up with the nightly problems.

Poking fun at the guild in general, and Gauthus in particular, isn't going to suddenly shame me or any other GM into reversing a decision that was made to preserve what little sanity we have left.

What goes up
is futile --
unless it goes out

If I remember correctly, but probably not, since at the time, en masse numbers of "low-bies" and "newbies" would end up getting picked on, or outright slaughtered by moonies and barbs, mostly, who had something to prove, for one reason or another. Because warrior mages tend to teach first and ask questions later, generally, not to prove people their supior, but to be, just to be.

Mostly for the sake of advancing and helping other wm's advance. As such, lots of WM's who usually train like WMs would get even as little as a 10th level barb smacking them around because at the time we had a lower armor and weapon req.

I believe BMR went into effect before the "elementals" were hired to patrol the front lawn. Which ended even more badly as barbs and thieves came by to pick fights just to test it out(though shamen have been using magic since then).

Reports went out.
He said she said, he said he said, she said and she said reports ended in multiple account suspensions, and on endlessly.

The switch have stopped a lot of the bar room and back alley junk. You might as well be arguing for a turning off of the anti chat switch at the bank. Let them get to somewhere develpement is less impending and maybe they'll lift it.

Though I personally doubt it, since it would pretty much need a small army to keep the noise to a controllable level.

If the switches are turned off, I hope that some method for non wm guild entities to enter the teaching rooms inside the guild without the escort. I believe that is the main reason the classes ended up outside in the first place.

Maybe The Earth room could become this "Arcane Arena" that everyone keeps requesting? With glass window in the floor of the water room for people want to watch without being engaged in the brawls?

Put a bin and raise the mana infront of the burned tower then those of us rp heavy and pvp open will have a spot at the WM guild to enjoy.

>How do you get him to respond? The elementals still have the underground prison mechs when non-wms try to get past them three times (travelling through rock gives you a nice long stun, too), but I've never seen Gauthus do anything other than show up for events.

Since this was years ago my memory is fuzzy, but it might have been he did this in response to crowds of people being rambunctious in the foyer back when it was still his office.

Or that might have just been that he silenced teaching... I've only ended up underground once in my Warrior Mage career.

No, it used to be when you were teaching a class in his office, while waiting for a group to do their thing.

at the new guild.

You read it backwards.

I was around during those days, shockingly. The people he's referring to are maybe four, five people, versus a lot of people that now can't and don't enjoy that area.

You don't cure a hangnail by cutting off the offending finger. But that's exactly what was done here.

>>I'm not interested in reopening the door to SnertRealms.

I think a large piece of my soul just died seeing a GM use the word snert, especially in that manner.

">>I'm not interested in reopening the door to SnertRealms."

And all the efforts of Arwinia to shame the use of the word Snert go down the drain....

As Wythor requested, this thread is over.
