level and number of rebirths. High-level players and rebirthers are given
tougher races and must tag higher-exp monsters to get credit for it.

You mutter darkly 'ill go there next.'
You mutter darkly 'you might have to wait like 10 hours or so.'
Tazliel goes 'EWWWW!' in disgust.
You mutter darkly 'just come check if the npc is around here when you have
time.'
You mutter darkly 'you will find him sooner or later.'
Tazliel asks 'need him to start the quest ?'
You mutter darkly 'yes.'

Gimberto exclaims 'You will? Excellent!' 
Gimberto explains the situaion:
The DeKline Manor is inhabited by a paranoid old kobold who hates surprises.
He built a large cage maze of bars in front of his house, so that he would
have plenty of time to see people as they tried to find their way in. He also
put in a half-dozen guard dogs to patrol the maze. If he hears the dogs
barking, he immediately runs to his panic room and won't open the door until
the barking stops.
Your goal is to find the two missing packages somewhere in the maze and bring
them to the front door. Once there, put the packages on the ground so he can
see them, knock, and leave. You have to do all this without the guard dogs
ever seeing you or else the delivery will fail.
A note about the dogs: they are very well trained and will chase down
intruders. They have amazing hearing and smell, so conventional methods of
stealth won't work. Stay as far from them as you can!
Gimberto will get on top of the roof of the pub and watch the maze from above.
There, he'll start making a map based on what he can see moving inside the
Gimberto heads around to the back of the pub to climb to the roof.

cage maze. You can tell him 'map' to see what he has, but he won't respond
instantly.

The room is crashing in on you!

All of the samurais and monks run out of the prison and right past you, thus

Suddenly a mist forms in front of you.

He looks at you and says 'Thank you for freeing the defenders, you have done a

You are prepared to do the skill.
An ethereal blue hammer appears in your right hand.
You forge and forge the chest construction and puuh slightly as you hammer the

This chest is made from diamond and is an excellent item for storing valuable

Its label can be set with the 'label' command.

This item is in AWESOME condition.
It looks heavy.

Not too often this game manages to amaze me, but today it did.
Big thanks for wizards (*****rae?) for the most likely stupidest big event iv
ever seen in a "MMO". There is a lot of things i could say about this event,
but i doubt noone wants to read few pages of whine.
So here is my suggestion for next major even in BatMUD:

Do it better next time, or PLEASE do not do it at all.

Yawn. 3 reincs in a month and still cant keep the game interesting. Time for a
break again?

Back to basics, and reincing. Mage was fun and all, but had to choose playing
a boring solo character whenever i feel like or playing mage with unable to
play 80% of time because no party/members around. And easy to guess which one
i picked.

Returned from little "life" holiday and what better way to do that then silly
reinc. So reinced to infla mage with not so great gear. Well atleast this
should be fun for a change. And on sidenote killed razzy today and got the
"big" partykill everyone drools after.

Did my first reinc after rebirth couple days a go. Got kinda tired to grinding
levelblocks and also with playing in same reinc. So im trying bit different
spawn reinc this time. Anyway managed to do 83 levels without reincing. Kinda
awesome archievement for me. Also been about 1,5 months from rebirth and
current progress is:

Tzarakk mount: Flaming Wyrm
Tentacle count: 4, with about 10% missing from fifth.

Painful setback. Loss of 1+ day ment losing about 5m exp and 2 levels for me
this time. Also lost good chunk of gold. Well atleast the game is back up now
after a long repairing of last night. Thanks for wizzies for their hard work
but also would be nice if mortals would be compensented a bit too...

Time from rebirth: 2 weeks.
Levels regained: 60.
Tentacle count: four.
Tzarakk mount: Pulsating Wyvern.

Wasnt starting from beginning suppose to be slow or something? Well so much
for enjoying game with newbie levels. Might aswell keep grinding more levels
now. But its not like levels or exp is worth anything in this game anyway..

Final rebirth finally done. Hopefully this is the last time ever again ill
start BatMUD from 0 exp. Done it wayy too many times. Never again. Now off to
grind those 99 levels again..

A stroke of luck!? Tuesday was first day i didnt play at all in three weeks or
so, didnt even kill a single mob. And that was the day that happened to be
lost for good in Bat breakdown. And even better now we get super exp for 2
days. Now things couldnt go much smoother then this. Assuming the next days
wont get lost anywhere..

Arelium fire department in action:

Fireman waves his index finger while uttering 'fah zur sanc'
Fireman hesitates as he casts firebolt.
Fireman shudders as his firebolt hits himself.
Fireman exclaims 'Burn, baby, burn!' 

Well i guess im back in BatMUD again. Time will tell for how long this time.

So my advices to BatMUD: If you still are serious about getting players, First
make the game fun again. Second make the game equal to new players, even if it
would mean full reset of exp/eq/boons. There is nothing atm for new players in
game. Take some reposibility and fix some guilds and their tunes. There is
loads of good and unique guilds in game. Why waste of those to by making them
so bad that they are unplayable? And most importantly fix the exp gain in a
way you dont have to play 10 years and still and still dont have enough exp??

I mean seriously, who would play a text-based game for 2-3 years before they
are strong enough even to start killing some "boss" mobs. And yet you wonder
why you cant hold any players. This is a still prolly the best game  there is.
So why not actually try making it more fun instead huge waste of time so mayby
ppl would return. Like me. Kthxbye.

Suffered a major WoW relapse. Was planning to stay away untill WotLK, but the
new patch came giving to try some new stuff already. And gotta say i really
enjoy from game again that actually is active and has loads of players. And
most importanly its blizzard is working to make the game even more fun and
balanced, unlike in some other text-based games..

So nice to play a game i can log in to any given time, even with low amount of
time and still have fun playing and get something done. Not like in here where
i would have to motivate myself for hour or two before unchesting "Cmon its
fun, you know its fun, you are gonna gain exp and improve your character!?"
except its not fun and you might gain exp but your not really improving.

New week, New reinc. Was doing decent exp as tarma, but atleast game keeps
more interesting this way. Went for oldschool reinc this time. Fear EVIL
höpötti tiger assassin!

Well, tried to play as kharim as start of my newbie career. But it didnt seem
the right guild for me, no use to collect rep when im due to do last rebirt
anyway in time. Someone suggested to me i should try a healer. And i kinda
liked the idea as i havent tried tarmalen for many years. So now im a newbie
tarmanav without druids so invite me for exp :)

Was bored. Thinked about reincing. Did not come up with anything. Decided to
rebirth. Maybe this is fun.

Adding some blog update. For last month iv been quite bored for this whole
game. Lack of parties made me try some new guild. So currently im evil
religious aelena. At this point i might add Aelena is the worst offtank guild
in game. Do not reinc to it if you care about your points. Id rather reinc
into crimson then this useless guild. Now just waiting for reinc tax to drop.
Carry on.

6221 Sable Bladetree, lord high ranger

First time do this mob after it was tuned bit more "fun" After epic fight and
lot of sucking mainly by me, it was a kill. Diced second with 94 and got the
uber sword!

Right. Got fed up with uselessness of merchants in this game and decided to
reinc back to Tzarakk. Decided to go bit different this time and took priests
as second guild because never played habotank combo.

So far this reinc seems quite interesing, though now realise why non-booned
ppl should never make habotanks. Unless you have 100 levels and godly eq. But
oh well, guess one can always make more exp and eq.. Just invite me to your
party! (like there would be some casual random eqparties anymore)

Bit over 1 week from a whim reinc to merchant. So far its been just like i
remembered it. Lots of hours with minimal gain. Well atleast iv had somewhat
fun, but already starting to feel like reincing out to something more useful.
Oh and im soon at top10 at merchant reputation, seems somewhat cool and useful
reputation system. Just too bad the whole guild is not worth shit anymore with
current econymy. Really gotta hand it out for ppl who play 10 hours in day to
make 100k gold in a day (about same as skilled offtank would make in less then
hour)

Got bored of killing things and neverending rape of exp/rep. So though id
reinc to merchant and chill. Might even start to make some merchant/alchemist
stuff when i get my stuff together.

Ding! first time i solo over 1,5M to party status in a hour. Next to 2M! for
that i prolly even have to start using pots and stuff.
