I like the new inventory box thing, but it seems to be kind of laggy, has to load the list of items every time you click on a category. What do you you guys make of it?--[[User:Hamelin|LimeHan]] 21:02, 24 September 2008 (BST) : Very nice, but I wish it had an optional command line interface for inventory. Must faster than clicking... for some. For others, the links are clearly better. [[User:Macksting|S. Mackie]] 05:30, 25 September 2008 (BST) :I really like the recent items, it's much easier and faster than the 4 buttons for items. I'd love to be able to populate that (or a tab) with say 10 items of my choice. I also like the breakdown of inventory. Having said that I can already see myself missing being able to type. When I want my fiddle all I have to do is select inventory and type fid and it's there.[[User:Douro|Douro]] 05:58, 25 September 2008 (BST) ==WTF is a Bacon Fish?== Make a Bacon Fish from 3 Slices of Bacon (Water 15 AP, Earth 9 AP) I made one and it doesn't appear to do anything. Doesn't even have a box in the sidebar.--[[User:Hamelin|LimeHan]] 20:24, 7 September 2008 (BST) :A fish made of bacon would be the Most Awesome Fish Ever. Unless you added whisky.

Autofeeding takes pet AP and you can't choose what gets eaten, so you're better off feeding them before they get that low. --[[User:Dragon|Dragon]] 20:45, 1 September 2008 (BST) :: does this autofeeding include horsies grazing on pasture, or does it have to be a consumable item from your inventory? [[User:Supergumby|Supergumby]] 23:55, 2 September 2008 (BST) : It would've been nice if the fact that they now auto eat was palantired to us. :: Given the total chaos of the Rampage and the Resurrection, it was really kinda hard to miss - [[User:Thog|Thog]] 00:49, 7 September 2008 (BST) :::Well if someone kept their pets fed normally, they would never notice the rampage, and the resurrection could honestly be mistaken for a real error by someone who didn't know.

[[User:Sheyona|Sheyona]] 05:32, 25 August 2008 (BST) I should know better than to trust by brain when i am ill. ==Nothing== So, I was heading up to the catacombs from fire city, when I discovered I couldn't go through the Rurals. Because the whole row of 100N is ''missing''. So, I head back to fire city to do further investigations. 100N still missing. Magic map shows the Rurals just beyond a void 1 square wide. Magic map also shows me a void to the west starting at -1 (1w). This one is wider than just one square though. I convince Betty to bust a dojo talisman for SCIENCE!. She does, lands on the dojo just fine. Heads east. hits the other edge of the Nothing, which is now determined to run from -5 to -1. Checks the Magic map, sees that harveys farm is still there. Harveys farm does bridge the Nothing entirely, and can be used as a bridge. I'm sure this is all due to 'fiddling, but maybe the GLs will use this 'accident' to introduce some neverending story quests or something. --[[User:BortJr|BortJr]] 07:07, 16 August 2008 (BST) :Well, the Western "nothing" has disappeared and been replaced with terrain that so far mostly resembles what was there before. Except there is a liberal sprinkling of lakes, ruins, alchemists, wizards towers, guard towers, wells... I suspect there is something more than this somewhere, I just haven't found it yet. - [[User:Cthu1hu|Cthu1hu]] 10:31, 16 August 2008 (BST) ==New Pet Type== One for the Mages: [[Pets#Familiar|Familiars]] now drop from Witches!

So now there's no excuse not to use plinths there! :) Check it out - it's cool! [[User:Rhapsodie|Rhapsodie]] 13:26, 10 August 2008 (BST) ==[[Royal Race Around the World]]== I saw some interesting sights while I was running around today. Does anyone know anything about Caroline's Island and/or a/The Thunderchild far out at sea? (I'm aware of the one that seems to be docked at Brighthelm.) I would have loved to investigate, but I invested way too much AP in the race to get side-tracked. :/ I'm also extremely curious as to what route the other racers took. I won't post my route yet out of respect for those who are still running, but I would be interested in comparing notes at some point. -[[User:Scrumbucket|Scrumbucket]] 13:55, 9 August 2008 (BST) Here are the rankings as I post this, for those that haven't heard: * First: Sgt.

[[User:Rhapsodie|Rhapsodie]] 15:25, 9 August 2008 (BST) :I went south down the west side of the map (probably didn't go farther east than 15E or so), stayed to the water as much as possible with my airship. Thing wore out just as I hit the Crill Sea and since I didn't have a horsie, I was stuck using my Survey Vessel most of the rest of the way (and the damn thing broke before I got to the Frozen South! I was freaking out but fortunately I could make the nails I needed after checking my inventoyu. I didn't see anything too odd, I happened to pass by XXXXXXXXXX on his speedboat in the Northern Ocean and nicked his wizard's hat (which I promptly took to the pentacle once I got back, he he he) and I dug up a treasure chest I had a map for on the way down the Great North Road. I probably spent way too much AP, but I've got so much I don't really mind.--[[User:Hamelin|LimeHan]] 22:27, 9 August 2008 (BST) :I headed North from Air City on a speeder bike, taking the Western gap in the Rurals. Imps got in my way several times. Past Bognor I rode Bill my trusty Sea Horsie whilst high on magic herb. Across the frozen South (and very tip of the North) I used Invisibility Spells combined with the speeder bike to zoom straight to the shore. And then it was back onto Bill, high on herb, and holding a Clock of Invisibility, still had to firecracker the plankton, speeder-biked over Oz and then back onto Bill and the herb to swim up to the South Coast (I missed all the islands incidentally) before speeder biking across the desert. I went too far East in the Plankton and had to go West to pass the Andes but appeared back in the 'kingdom with only a few steps West needed. My speeder bike wore out just as I finished needing it. --[[User:Naath|naath]] 13:11, 10 August 2008 (BST) :I took the Eastern route, starting just south of the Crystal Cave and heading North. After I jogged over to the eastern gap in the Rurals, I hardly budged from the 80-83E corridor for the entire trip. I only moved west when I ran into the Hexed Ocean, which I had completely neglected to take into account when planning my route. I couldn't afford a speeder bike even with the hat I had stolen, so I just Button-Mashered along the roads, threw on winged boots and the One Bling for the wilds, and crossed the ocean on my trusty speedboat with the wind at my back. And of course at the end, I neglected to pay attention to the location of the finish line and spent several minutes trying to figure out what went wrong. '''Final analysis:''' I ''hate'' Plankton! -[[User:Scrumbucket|Scrumbucket]] 20:30, 10 August 2008 (BST) ==[[The_New_Vaudeville_Guild/Last_Night_of_the_Poms|Music Video Competition]]== Entries are now sought for the Music Video Competition.

Anyone seen our humidor? We'd like to see it passed on to the winner of the [[The_New_Vaudeville_Guild/Last_Night_of_the_Poms|Music Video Competition]] - it just made so much sense. [[User:Schnorrer|Schnorrer]] 08:53, 9 August 2008 (BST) :The Humidor is currently in my possession (which I safeguarded while you were on hiatus).
