The Dark Lord

People use Facebook in order to gossip, cyber, determine their social status by the number of friends that they have added, and determine friendships based on how many times people take their goddamn quizzes or comment on their photos that show them drunk (or some random [wagon] image like a car or some lameass picture like that). Men determine the size of their penises by how many times their relationship status changes to "in a relationship with . . . "

Did you leave the Land of Snow by going through the wardrobe?

It's very easy to lose him. I highly suggest walking throughout the entire event instead of running, since he is very slow and gets trapped easily. The best thing is to log out and back in, or exit and re-enter the snow world.

Okay, I just disabled some start-up programs (QuickTime, MSN, Google Desktop, iTunes, etc), and it's a little faster. Thanks.

I'm not pro at the candy cane trick. :( Also, it would be kind of cool to flip the godsword after you get a noob kill off of a guy in PVP. :P Enjoy the trick while you can. It'll be "fixed" during the next patch. I think it's actually a pretty funny glitch to keep in the game.

I think it would add a little humour if you changed the face to where the guy was looking back with his eyes bulging out of his eye sockets (just like the classic cartoons where someone was scared/shocked0. Otherwise, it just looks like the guy was jogging from the lava.

@Dusty/Doom: That is an interesting problem that could arise. Haven does not have enough facilities in order to place everyone under stasis, just enough for the few chronically suicidal patients that we have and people that have diseases that are currently incurable. Suicidal patients who seek SL must first get psychological evaluations from Haven in order to filter out liars and to determine the severity of one's chronic depression. Suicidal patients receive some treatment during Second Life in order to cure chemical imbalances. Some patients are given the option to wake up if they are ready to live in the real world again, and some patients who are so severely suicidal that they cannot be treated are allowed to stay in stasis indefinitely. Those with currently incurable diseases are allowed to wake up by doctors once a cure has been found. Then, they live out the remainder of their long lives. Haven does understand that not everyone can be under Second Life, so they have allowed SL to be used as a form of entertainment on colony ships, and they have developed headsets that are similar to Second Life, except these headsets don't involve stasis, and they only manipulate one's dreams in order to create lucid dreams. Therefore, nightmares are eliminated, and people get to choose what they dream about. People do understand that the world works this way, and they are generally contempt that they can experience a form of simulated reality during their REM sleep; they understand that if too many people are in Second Life, then everyone will die from starvation (which would destroy Second Life anyway). The headsets are like favourite TV programmes that can be watched every night. It's still easy to live in the real world, which isn't that bad either. Also, it should be noticed that those who are diagnosed with incurable diseases and people who are chronically suicidal make up a very small portion of the population, a portion that wouldn't be productive anyway. ---------------------------------------------- Anyway, there's a massive throne (too big for a human to sit on) in the cathedral-styled interior of the Temple.

That's what they said about Yahweh/Jehovah.

What death? Last I checked, everything's been calm and normal on the realms. And yeah, Second Life would eliminate a lot of it since it pretty much meets their emotional needs. Hell, even the suicide rate has been zilch. It makes a lot more sense to pursue Second Life than to kill yourself because Second Life enables you to seek whatever kind of life that you want. You think we're trying to summon God? :lol:

A pale, milky white glow comes from the Temple. The Temple Complex has now expanded. It is much larger than the Elysian Square. Interestingly enough, the amount of Hindus, Christians, Jews, and Muslims has been declining. In the past, strong religious views have been on a decline (yet people practised traditions as part of their culture, not religion). However, it seems that people are starting to let go of their past traditions and are becoming more agnostic.

[hide]I'd be interested in seeing them. Do put them in hide tags, please. Maybe start a new thread as it's unrelated to this?[/hide] On topic: I wonder if some of the lag (besides being due to NPCs) might have also been affected by particles? I want to see the models as well. --- I wonder how many "Jagex is RACIST!!!" threads have popped up on RSOF today. I might go create one for the hell of it later. :P I'm dreaming of a WHIIIITTE Chriiiistmaaas.

Hopes back up, now? :wink: Seems she was really snowed in, but they weren't today! They were until I went over to Laggy-Impfest '09. I was a little annoyed with that. i herd pros do holiday events in pvp Lol. EDIT: Just realized that the new robes look like a KKK outfit. :S (Jagex better not try to change the graphics of them.)

Hey, it's a fantasy novel. What did you expect? :lol:

There aren't any jet engines on it. Those are windows. :P I think that would work, to be honest. At least in this alternate time-line/universe. We could just say that they're steam-driven. By the way, those are basically what my airships on Hegemony look like.

Like that. EDIT: If you haven't read his books, I strongly suggest that you read the Jerle Shannara series. It's fantasy/sci-fi stuff, if you're into that. I read it years ago, and I thought that his books were pretty damn good.

Hopefully they use Windows.

Silverlight and Darklight have both had their graphics improved. I have both swords mounted in my POH. The handles are now white with a green gem encrusted into them, and the blades are more detailed.

Oh, sorry. It's Windows Vista.

...(oil refinement, aeroplanes, airship, EMPs, coilguns(both large and gauss), fission powerplants, solar cells, water power(turbines), salt power, wind power, etc) I'm pretty sure that nuclear power will never happen, as well as EMPs and any type of kinetic weapon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwV70mxS80A Here is a bad arse music video about the Battle of Waterloo. For the in-game history, just imagine some airships and aeroplanes bombing the Britishers. By the way, the French uniforms are the same now as they are in the video, considering that I don't think the uniforms have really changed that much [for everyone]. It's the early twentieth century after all, and that battle took place about a century ago. The uniforms would be a little different, I suppose. It's not like we really have armored uniforms, though.

I've heard that you can increase how fast your computer starts up by preventing a program from starting automatically as your computer restarts. How do you do this?

What do you do to find the temperature? This might be useful for me so that I can keep everything from overheating (does it a lot, probably because I sit my laptop on my lap). Also, about how hot can it get before it shuts down?

Just found some old stuff from the 90s. :P Ren and Stimpy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnfO5TMpWwc&feature=related Cow and Chicken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtojm4fgDeU&feature=related It's a shame that you can't find Ren and Stimpy stuff anymore. Damn political correctness. I miss my sexual innuendo and brutal violence! :( The guy that made the cartoon got fired from Nickolodeon because the cartoon was brutally violent and had sexual innuendo and lots of profanity. It was aired on a kids' network. LOL.

Aye, high-tech longships, oil platforms and fish, my figgures will be set tomorrow, now I must sleep. One question however, how come Norway, Sweden, Danmark and Finland is French? If I remember correctly only Danmark has once been in French command(during the Napoleon war), however shortly. The French beat up most of the people in Europe and nearly conquered Russia. The Brits later discovered the Vikings in North America, and they beat them up. The Vikings are now forced in hiding in the arctic isles and Greenland.

It's some landmass that's north of the Fremennik province, I think. It hasn't been released yet, but it has been talked about some in the game. Supposedly it's like the Ice Gate area from Desert Treasure and has mammoths.
