Defective Amulets?

Was kind of strange.. I was hearing the black-net, but apparentally thinking on the grey net. Anyone else ever had this happen?

SEND[Host Elbrion] You'll most likely have better luck with buying and selling goods or services if you use the black channel, Adrenath. You can reach it by PULLing your amulet. Thanks much!

You say, "Huh."

Then I played around with my amulet for a while, removing, touching and pulling it. Then I asked again (on what I thought was the black net) which net was hearing me. Someone responded that it was the black net.

So. That was strange. reg

Heh...I'm suprised how many people never knew that if you rub your amulet, then pull it, then rub it again you can listen to both channels but will think to the grey. If you pull the amulet again you will still be listening to both, but thinking to the black.

Hope that helps.

I've done that a time or two. I didn't know that either...

Also if you're currently on the black net and you use sign of thought to add a bit more time, it switches you back to the grey net. It works the same way as more rubs. Each time you add onto your time, you need to pull your amulet once again.

erp, what sign? reg

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's happened to. I thought I was a moron or something because that always happened to me..heh reg
I had a hard time figuring out them damn amulets too with all the two nets at once and rubbing resetting and all that crap. Someone finally told me ya can look at your amulet and see what net you're on. So if you aren't sure, just look first and you can see. If it's gray you're on the wrong net and if it's black ya can go ahead and think.
