L4L -- have you finally managed to get in?

Way to go Chief! I knew you could do it! See you in Ercana

borbaric

Been trying to log back on but the server must be down...sigh. Well- thanks for the pep-talk guys. I went back into Er'cana again last nite, managed to get off the mine car when supposed to (don't know why i couldn't before..i am pretty sure i was doing the same thing..), and processed pellets(began that at 12:45 am, by 3:45am still no blue light-went to bed, came in about 8:30am this morning and see the Blue Light!)...then, i took the pellet, linked up to the testing machine, it dropped (pellet), saw nice glow down below and then i went to my Relto...HOWEVER, the next i see is my KI in upper left and nothing else...just what looks like a white foggy screen and no cursor.....so had to quit. Have been trying to get back on but still no luck. i did send in a ticket...

Thanks again UruKat, borbaric, and Big John for all your help in getting me to a certain point in my Ercanna - it was a blast last night!

Gamenut - I'm glad you're still trying! I think the servers are being updated - I lost connection a few times yesterday. Haven't tried it yet today, though...I'll look for you online. I'm going to try a little later this morning (I love having days off ).

Oh Renee i just love having days off too!!! i have a lot of them now since early retirement.(health). my son and one of my best friends told me a couple months ago that they thought i would be bored out of my skull after a few months but after a couple years i STILL enjoy being able to finally relax and you know what...i really enjoy the adventure games, and this MOUL is certainly a New experience! i love to read (mysteries),movies/tv, so as long as they keep printing books or have on tape/cd-and making games and movies-who can be bored?!! don't get out much..mobility issues so sort of housebound..have steps and can barely do when absolutely need to so i have to really NEED to get to the car to go down/up them. have scooter but don't have ramp.grrr-yet...but hopefully sometime this year! Hmmm...maybe that is the trouble...need a ramp for my Relto! I was so tickled i got to talk to UruKat last nite while i was in Er'cana !!! then she had to go up, and i had to leave for a few minutes and when i came back i guess she had gone for evening. But i was able to use my KI to reply to her! i was so glad. learned i have to click on the name and that lets me 'speak' to that person...Just seems like there is always soooo much info! Oh, that /clearchat that does work to clear the text off screen! I forgot who said that a couple pages ago but a big 'thank you' to them!! Am dreading the Pods and Minkata. Have read what i can on them, and i STILL don't get it...but i will plod on and see....and if i need to i know i can sure get support from the 'boomers!!! Thanks guys...and i will stop whining so much! It was just kind of a rough week. pfuii...

Hi gamenut,
You're welcome! And now you have helped me as I didn't know about clicking on the name to speak to a person. I have enough trouble talking to people so very happy to learn that.
I have a linking book to Ercana and I've been there, but all I've been able to do so far is click on something like a journey cloth, except it has a different symbol.
Yesterday I clicked on a Bahro stone somewhere and found my self on a small platform with no place to go, went back to my Relto, and surprise! I now have a small platform attached to my island. Why I have no idea, and I don't think it was there before.

Ooh, lucky you sierramindy-sounds like you got your dock. That Bahro linking stone comes and goes at the Ferry so you never know when it will be there. You should have a new page in your Teledahn book, too. Though not sure why you would want to go there often

Glad you are sticking with it gamenut. The more people you meet the more fun it becomes. Hearing about boron swiping chiefette's boots...well, it makes us all seem like family somehow.

My only regret now is that I am spending the summer roaming around northern New England and never know when I can actually connect to the game but there are compensations...heheh.
Wish the server would come back up right now since I will have to pull up stakes and leave here today. If I don't see you all for a bit you will at least know it isnt because I dont want to be with you!

Kate (aka Katva #969932)

Howdy KateVa! /me waves We were wondering where you had gotten off to! We all miss you and hope you are having a great time. Keep track of the cone migrations on the interstates! We will have lots to catch you up on when you do get back!

Hugs!

Hey Kateva.....have a great trip!
Look for us when you get back and we will update you.

Hi Katva,
Have a nice trip see you when you get in wondered where you went lol. Mike

Anybody having problems getting in this evening? Soot was in there earlier today--no problem.

But then he was crashed to desk top and has been trying for hours to get back in with no luck.

The software just keeps locking up before the final sequence.

Nope no problems for me, finally! I'm way behind the rest of you in Er'cana. I just got to the last section of the mill and am working out what to do. Thanks to all that helped me in getting that far.

Gamenut, I'll be back on around 9:00 or 10:00 tonight if you want some help. Although you are further in Er'cana than I am. But I can assist you with some of the chat and KI functions to help you communicate more easily. My KI is in my signature below.

L4L, I just got in the city in the usual time it takes to get there.

There seems to be always a little somethig wrong with this game.

Have a good evening.

Chief

Celtic Lark...thank you for encouragement...i wont be on this evening....going to take a break. !! POSSIBLE SPOILERS !!! i got to where i made the pellet and i took one up to the Tester...and dropped in pool below. it put out a glow, but i noticed when i put it in the blue light on the machine did not look like it went up as far as it could....so i don't know if the numbers from Ercana single player will work for the online..i checked out forum on this at mystonline and there seems to be a big discussion over making these pellets..sigh.... One thing i know it took mine over 2 hrs to process. i went to bed and just left it on and 4 1/2 hrs later when i came in the blue light was on there...but i don't know exactly how long it actually took. so i am NOT looking forward to fiddling w/cooking...i think this is going to be a time when i check the forum on this part! I have no clue what to do after i drop in the pellet...maybe take another one back someplace else, there is a B stone beside that linking book too. I did go on and go back to the Pods..noted the numbers, but that was about it...listend to some sounds... turned on the power That one pod i guess is just about out of power...sure is dark....was not able to much at all there..maybe during daylight more to see... i did notice something that i have not seen mentioned...so could be just me wanting to see something...but in the one Pod..(the one that is like desert)..i saw the suns/moons/stars lighting up close to the circles on the floor.. when their light came through the window it made circles so maybe that means something...(not a clue)..BUT what caught my attention was the window itself....the design of the 'dirt' on it.....noticed several round splotches(several w/what looks like a small hole in them)..seemed to me to be a pattern or maybe not. Anyone else notice?
You guys keep up the good work figuring how to keep the rest of us sane while playing!!! Thanks for all your help...hope to see you all maybe tomorrow evening....

Well, Gamenut, I'm glad you didn't get on tonight in hopes of meeting up with me because I yet again crashed in Er'cana. I was able to play for four hours today with no problems. Logged off and went to do "surface" stuff for a few hours, came back, went back to Er'cana and bam! Now Game Tap won't even let me back into the game. I submitted a ticket last week. Many others are having the same problem. It's sooooo frustrating! Big John, if you got back on at 9:30 to help me, I'm sorry I wasn't there. I crashed around 9:25, wouldn't you know?

Gamenut, you're ahead of me so I won't be much help to you at the moment as far as gameplay is concerned. But I know Big_John, URUKat and many of the others have completed the age and are always happy to help.

Lark, Soot had the same problem last night and again this morning, but finally got on.

Gamenut,you are correct that for the pods. We fiddled with those pods for hours, and then finally gave up and checked the forum.

Have fun

Shorah, all. Exciting news! I just finished my first rehearsal with the Cavern Choir. It's a really neat group with members from all over the world; U.S., Italy, Denmark, Netherlands, and Sweden. We're preparing for our Winter concert. We'll be performing holiday music from Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Italy, and England.

If you are interested in attending the concert, mark your calendars for December 16th at noon Pacific time. It will be at Eder Delin, D'ni Linguistic Fellowship Bevin. You can find more details at the choir website.

Wow! How do you rehearse together? Do you use Teamspeak?

That's wonderful, Celtic Lark! I'll definitely be in attendance - it would be great if the concert hall opened by then.

Soot and I just conquered Eder Tsogal twice with just the two of us!!!!!

I'm exhausted

to you two. That is some running and good planification.

Chief

That's great - I didn't think it was possible.

Thanks Chief!

Renee, I don't think it would be except we sit next to each other. It did take lots of tries though.

Under pressure my ability to navigate drastically declines.

I'm a happy lady

Wow! Impressive!

Wow, L4L, that's very impressive! I can barely manage to press my one cloth and get through the door.

Becky - we do use teamspeak for rehearsals although we didn't sing at all yesterday and I was told this is normal. Rehearsals are mainly used to talk about other aspects of the music like dynamics, pronunciation, and maybe run through a passage someone is having trouble with. Otherwise, we learn on our own, record our parts on our computers and send them to the director. Crazy, huh? This is the first SATB choir on the internet that we know of, so it's a bit of a learning process. The choir had their first concert in the winter. You can find us on MySpace now under "Cavern Choir" and have a listen. Or you can go to my MySpace profile (listed in my personal profile on GB.com) and click on the link in my friends.

Renee - there is a plan to have a concert in Summer 2008 at the Concert Hall featuring all original music composed by explorers of D'ni. Pretty cool, huh? We're hoping the Hall will be open by then.
