The World of Avlis

Without preamble! Folks, welcome Wolfwielder back to the fold after a nice, relaxing OMGWHEREAREYOU! We swear we didn't pester him. Much. Also, after a long break and an even longer stint as a player, please welcome back to the client an old, old hand, the King of Moustache, the Applier of the Box o...

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Speedracer to the DM team!

Yay!

I really need to remember to log out when I go to bed. ...

Just one quick question. Should I revive my old character or start over fresh with a new one?

The answer is: yes.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!! Feel free to ask anything, and if you have questions drop into the IRC channel as well. Good to see old folks coming home!

Great interview, thanks for doing these!

Folks, please welcome the former Worldforge editor and longtime teamie TripleAught back to the DM client!

Dude I didn't know you had all those degrees!

Sadly, I have no witty commentary, but nonetheless:

Folks, please congratulate Ninjar on his promotion to Major DM!

ACHIEVEMENT! Joeyo has earned Triple Your Reading List (30p).

Everybody cheer!

Still a "coming soon" for the unified installer, dates attached to some files are misleading, and why do we have a giant table with check marks when the whole point now was that we don't have different haks per server anymore? All the boxes are checked...

Can someone please update teh wiki with this content? I accidentally deleted my haks this morning, and the wiki is incorrect now...

We're long overdue for a couple of DM promotions!

I can't out-joke the jokemaster, so I'll leave that for the comment thread... Give Grunt your congratulations, he's now a Major DM!

If I had any extra vowels, he'd be the first one to know... Cheer for DFL, he's now a Major DM!

Woo!

Jack has the wind spirit... it was the only one that came in a powder form (Jack likes a little bump now and again), and the reckless nature of it seemed to fit well. Also, it's the least flashy of the options and Jack's more Big Trouble in Little China than Conan.

From the politico thread... By way of explanation, we're super broke 100% of the time now, so I shoot for a maximum of $5.00/serving with every meal I make. Most of them fall into the $2.50/person range, which is pretty reasonable, and kicks fast food prices right in the balls. One caveat - I've bee...

Grunt's body has taken well to the cyborg DM implant, and we're happy to announce his firmware upgrade only took one hard reboot.

Please Congratulate him on his upgrade to Minor DM!

aaahahahha, communication fail.

Please pm that to me!

The site manager at the Neverwinter Vault would like us to post something on our forums, to demonstrate that we are who we say we are, and then they'll transfer edit control of the Avlis vault page to the current Team.

So, BeyondThePale, here you go! Thanks for helping us out.

Head DM

Yes... oh yes we did.

Please welcome to the DM staff the author of this, as well as this, this, and a thousand other IC and OOC contributions... the guy who made my avatar, Grunt!

Everybody hide cheer!

With preparation and copy/paste text, I can manage a party of 20+ pretty well. More DMs helps, because it's usually the cookies that suffer when the player volume is that high. Without preparation more than 10 is quite a challenge, and quality begins to depend heavily on how good the PC group leader...

So, the structure of the Holy Warriors across all of Avlis is going to be different according to which faith we're talking about. If the intention is to find the NPCs who "lead" these Holy Warriors, let me give a very very brief blurb on each: Gorethar: Paladins are a formal arm of the Church of Gor...

Woo! Love seeing old players come back into the fold. Welcome!

"more demanding" programs might actually be "more sensible" programs, i.e. they do more work with fewer computations. Graphics isn't like weightlifting, where you're only allowed to use more muscles to lift more weight. Sometimes the developers add 3x the weight and give you a pulley system to lift ...
