Really? I heard the Emory situation was a deal and wasn't at all the norm in the situation. Maybe my memory is just foggy but I don't remember the change with the new code at all. Ah the joys of old age.

No, I finished my zone just in time to qualify under the house for a zone rule. I did get an imm for the other sections of the zone....but that imm doesn't really have any powers and can't do anything...so it's just like a high lvl chatty person...I also didn't really ASK for it...I wanted the house...which was actually built into one of my zones (because it was known that I was building for that specific reward, I was allowed to build it at the same time). If I could see any way my house would affect y'all's "economy" I'd shut up...but pretty much all I've ever used the house for is to hold my junk collections....I like collecting "things" but none of them are ever rare, important, worth anything, etc. or to hold RP events (I've done a few out at my house).

I've never claimed to have built all of Egypt...and I'm aware that Molly's part is better than mine I did enjoy building and just had slacked off to go back to school. Having finished that, I'd like to get back into the game in some manner or another.

Inconsistency is not a good thing in a mud though I don't think, and for instance: builders no longer get a house for building a zone - they get 1 gold token.

Would it be okay if you were allowed to have your perzes back as free RP eq after a pwipe Toch?

Also I agree about shops. It would be nice if shops actually bought things, and we could buy things from some far away shop and sell them at a slightly better price from another far away shop as well as just selling the junk we find on our travels.

But why should I lose a reward that I, in good faith, earned? What the current reward is should have no effect on previously completed agreements...I understand this is just a game, but that's like retroactively deciding an agreed payment was "too much" and going back and confiscating it.

SO you're saying you haven't been here since 2000? If not, you're one of the oldest? I beg to differ

Let's see, I think Sarias has been here since 2002/3.
Riley earlier than Sarias I believe, but not by much.
Siresee, I remember when she was a newb. And she came not too long after me.
Emory, see above.
Tynian 1998, about the same time as me, a tad later. We became DJ assassins together.
Jason not too much later than that I think.
Belgarion, about the same as me. though now he's all invis and stuff. I may be wrong, maybe  a tad later than me..or earlier. I dun
              remember.
Xeriuth= ??
Hayato = ??
Yvei = He's popped in and out of here since 1999! I know because he's my little brother and I got him into mudding.
Once dates back to me.
Turin dates back to be.
Kvetch = hrm, 2004 maybe, correct me if i'm wrong kvetchie.
I would need numbers from Asmoday, and Asmodeus, but I think 2001/2ish for them. I could be wrong.
Natalya = ??
Virisin dates back to what? = You say you've not been here since 2000, so WHEN did you come here?

So we're really looking at what...7+ years? Nice. Not much of an exaggeration so far as I can tell. I ball parked it, I didn't exaggerate.


your opinions are your own, even if they're very STRONG ones. but listen. You cannot just say something is worth nothing when CLEARLY it is worth SOMETHING to someone. You're willing to cut your losses pbase wise to get what you want? That is not what playing and investing time into 4D is about. People didn't create chars, and build histories here to get screwed in the end.

So instead of debating how long the majority has been here, and whether or not something actual means anything to anyone. Let's have an actual constructive debate rather than bashing one's words time and time again. Viri, I hate to say it but your constant replies to every single post on here is more counter productive than anything. It is your idea, now leave it up to others to get their words in. Namely the IMMs.

btw- why do we have 20+ votes, and only like 5 people actually POSTING?

I started here when I was 12. I'm 23 years old now (24 next year). Sooooo.. I go back to 1998 too.

I started somewhere around 1997...It was before I had my kidlet...I started playing when I was pregnant because I wanted to kill stuff IRL (hormones) and couldn't.

I'm not sure this applies to many of us....but what about those of us who got our houses as building rewards waaaay back when? This is how I earned my basic house...I would be unhappy to lose it. It was my motivating factor for building a zone. I haven't the time to play enough and would be unhappy to lose my entire collection of everything because I haven't the time to redo all that stuff. A part of why I went inactive was the last pwipe...I'm too old and have too much crap to deal with to game 24/7 to rebuild everything and I still haven't recovered from that last wipe.

I'd simply deal with another pwipe by continuing to camp recall in rp eq rather than playing because i feel at "home" in this mud....but I'd be pissed about losing my house. I was in the building for the promised house...I delivered the zone and was paid with a house (rather than the token reward). I don't think I'll start back playing though, until this is decided...I'm too lazy to waste any effort

On a side note, I'm silly and some of my perzes are nostalgic because of who I was with when I earned it or who gave me the item, etc. I have many "gifts" that I've held on to for this reason alone...most of my perzes aren't even good eq anymore, but I still don't want to lose them...it was hard creating "me." I understand that the mud is changing, etc. etc. and since I'm not active lately I feel I don't really have a right to an opinion, but I'm old, disgruntled, bitchy, and greedy, so I though I'd speak up anyway
