Subject TWO FESTIVALS IN MARCH (176)

GemStone III is happy to present two festivals filled with shops, festivals, games and more in March!

THE ALE FESTIVAL:

Located in Zul Logoth, the Ale Festival begins March 29th and is open to all Elanthian citizens. Celebrate the favorite pastime of bards and warriors alike: ale drinking! Enjoy wonderful contests, fabulous shops, merchant services and more!

THE ILYAN CLOUD:

Docking in Ta'Illistim, the Ilyan Cloud will open on March 29th for Four Winds Hall (Premium) users. Only Premium players who have been members for a minimum of 30 days will be given access to the vessel. The Ilyan Cloud will offer a variety of merchant services and shops, old favorites as well as new. reg

Anyone a premie member? I personally thought it would be a waste of money since 10$ more will get you everything Simu has to offer. reg
If you are platinum, you also have premium benefits.

And I am premium, because I don't plan to play plat, therefore that extra $10 would be a waste for me.

Any word on if they will have the FESTIVAL verb in use?

I would love a who's who merchant listing and a Contest Timeline if there is one.

Oh, don't worry. I'm cleaning out all my containers so I might carry as many alcoholic beverages as humanly possible.

Subject Portals (861)

After a great deal of consideration, I don't believe that we'll be providing Portals for the festivals. We will be watching the rope bridge very carefully to make sure there is no blockage and should traffic build up, we'll make sure to provide easier methods across. However, folks who wish to attend the festivals will have to walk and use their climb skill.

The danger of creatures, the challenge of bypassing obstacles with skills ... this is part and parcel of the game. Providing a portal for these events in order to remove the inconvenience of the journey would be akin to starting everyone at level 10 in order to remove the inconvenience of hunting.

I am very sorry to disappoint those who are heavily in favor of portals, however, I hope you will enjoy the festivals none-the-less. reg

Just wanted to thank you Crystal for posting these.. I'm currently locked out so I don't access and Gemmy stuff still interests me.

On the topic... I don't see a problem with that and I agree with Melissa, it's part of the game. It's probably a hassle for some people but I would say it's not a problem for the majority. reg

Subject Cloud Item Transfer (4799)

To help with the encumbrance problems people are worried about on bringing their items back from the cloud, I'm going to have a merchant set up that will transfer your items for you.

You will have to have them with you at the time you come to that merchant.

Now the only restriction will be, you will have to be able to meet me on the other side at the times I give. The reason for this is I'm going to be transfering the stuff by hand. So I have to be online for you to pick up the stuff. There is no way around it. I will most likely make the pickup times when I'm on duty and you will pick the stuff up in Frostacres.

There will be more information in the Merchants tent.

I hope that helps some of you!

Nice way to bust your @ss for everyone Tigermist, I hope they appreciate it. I don't think I would volunteer to do that...

Question on buying items on the Ilyan Cloud in Ta'Illistim. I just move there recently, and most of my silvers are in the bank in Icemule.

Do I need to make the trip back to Icemule to get my silvers for shopping, or is there a way to buy items, with funds being taken out of my Icemule bank account?


If anyone knows, please advise.

Thanks! -Toph reg

Eh, I'm pretty sure you'll have to withdraw all of your funds from your Icemule Trace account, then exchange that promissory note for Ta'Illistim funds.

I think that's how it still works, anyway.
