  1. The link below shows a concept in part close to what is pn my mind, but only in the central part - the cave/tunnel opening and tunnel itself. Think of that as human height and uses "natural" stone look as compared to purely worked stone (nice cubes and rectangles, fitting almost seamlessly). Now picture that surrounded by a vertical rock face with green growth around, ivy-type plants, and stone-layered steps up to the mouth (not perfectly formed steps) and within the tunnel a slight ramp up as you move deeper in and that is the general concept. Something like a heavy door or rolling round slab in a slot which acts as a sealing off the entrance object, and that is a general beginning of the entrance. http://digital-art-gallery.com/picture/18029 Ok, no sooner do I post the above and go back online when the idea I had in mind appeared almost perfectly on my screen here: http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/Thomas-%26-William-Daniell/The-Entrance-To-The-Elephanta-Cave.html The actual entrance is back under the columns a ways but this is looking like what I hope to have the surrounding terrain and entranceway to look like.
  2. I am doodling a lot to come up with a concept. I will find a way to post it here when I have something i like.
  3. I do not follow twitter. In real life I live in a cave and rub a cat against deer hide to generate enough electricity to run my computer. I do go through a lot of cats though.
  4. I figured I might have been when I posted. I was just hapy to have found it.
  5. I am likely to explore and mine in the first days anyways. I am a born pack-rat and will stockpile as much as I can before trying to fashion my digs. Besides, who needs materials to dig a hole? Thats the beauty of it.
  6. Well, last night i watched several info videos and now comprehend we won't be able to enter game and start creatig like they do in the videos. Landmark is its own game and as such, we will have to work at gaining materials to build with. Using those materials, with their limitations, will limit what we can make. Later today/tonight I will be looking at the wiki page they have for materials. My dream underground community will have to become built bit by bit over time. Opening will be humans only so even then I will not be able to play a Dwarf, initially. So sad.... Since basic worked stone is so plentiful, that will have to be the starting material to layout the place, then as I grow in experience and gain acess to other materials, I can replace existing walls and pillars, etc, with other stuff like granite or marble, assuming marble will be a material we come to be able to work with. No problem. I just start smaller and build over time. Mayube a nice underground hobbit-hole for the time being, to stock up all that wonderful material I will be out harvesting. I just hope they do not open things within the first half of a month because I cannot get time off then to play 24/7 and sleep 0/7.

  8. I have been thinking of what I want to make and was wondering if there are any crossover plans which could benefit others. Post of you are of a mind to do so. Rumblebore was my first and most beloved EQ character, and he was a Dwarven Paladin. Thus, my thoughts are running in making a Dwarven Community, underground of course. Not a Kaladim, but more like a town or city with extras. The big picture at this point runs along these lines: Inspiration source – Mithgar Dwarves, Dennis McKiernan style. I want to make a below-ground dwarven community of residences with central community area(s), upper access areas with connections to the outside (think glass-less windows and secret doors) which are hard to find when outside. Not a capital city but more a community. Lower areas for storage, water/aquafers, and herd-pens/stables, and even deeper areas for mining, smithing and a few caverns of rock formations, underground beautiful ‘gardens’. Of course, even below that are the “deeper places” which will contain hidden rooms, and connections to subterranean critters, traps (bottomless pits) and maybe an evil lair or 2. Access into this area has a primary entrance low on the mountain, secondary “delivery” doors for trade, and a couple or more alternate/secret access points. Defensible but the beauty of the place is to be found in how the community uses the caverns and hewn rock places to enhance and support themselves. Oh yes, tunnels will tend to be only ablut 5-5.5 feet tall. This is meant to be a place for Dwarves to live, not Orcs and elves.
  9. I am making do with Skyrm - Not too bad and I get to kill Dragons!!
  10. Hello all, Ever since the August announcement I have been interested in this so last night i also obtained the Trailblazer Pack, just to have everything this time around and to get to be in the Beta version. I will hang around here for chats and to see if a community builds back up. THE was home for all the time I was active playing.
  11. I have not been with THE for a while yet when I get notices of things happening I check back. 3 times I have received emails since April 7, from mignulikz, muzrinkl, and today from jurdreda, only this time the link was to an online sex site. If anything can be done to block this spammer it would be appreciated. Going forward, if I do not know the person, I am deleting the email. Good to see THE is still around and kicking though. Sincerely, david
  12. Well, Since he put it that way..... I am off to off ICUBURN. All in fun, of course...............
  13. I must admit, I have grown largely at other expense, and am quite please with the size of my britches. *begins to mop up his blood* Until recently....... *Dabs at all the cuts and bruises with iodine* I made a few test attacks against the UBER ones which has resulted in a sudden realization (on their part) that there is another one here THEY get to grow off of. *carefully bandages the wounds* Well, sure, I claimed a "few" frags here and there, but it was all in fun, ya know? *Splints the broken bones* But I really must protest at Icuburn, who must have a timer at his computer that tells him EXACTLY when he can next attack. *Wraps it all in Gauze* Recently, it is not that he attacks me so much. It is the fact that the BUM keeps FRAGGING all our regular targets before I get a chance to toss one single attack at them........ I mean, that is plain RUDE.

  15. They are really on their way White. From her own personal stock.......... Thats we we call her: Dependable.
  16. Avast Matey's! This here be our day, a day of arrrrgg and yo ho's and a mug o' rum er 2. Talk Like a Pirate Day
  17. Well, the hair is still on the summit, so that is a good thing. That there are rivulets of white in it is also expected, and adds character. The bones are starting to creak, the eyes need artificial aid this year, i have a water bottle by the bed and a well worn path to the restroom, and the only chair i need at home is in front of the computer. Old, maybe. I will see you here in fewer years than you expect at your age and then I will chuckle at YOU!! PS - I still have my mothers old walker - I am set, thank you.

    EQ2

    I have figured out I do not have a system that handles the new graphics well. A new processor of 3.x gig or better will make imporvements, but in reality, I will have to upgrade to a better comp overall. Mice is a Sony pre-packaged unit that I upgraded the viseo card on, but it isnt enough. I am limited to 512 RAM. It sucks. My computer is so active after a few hours it is obvious the performance drops as time passes. I have a char left on Mistmore server, but have moved to the much less populated server, Highkeep, to keep in line with the guidelines of setting up on an H named server. It is only 2 weeks since the game camne out, but I will probably stay there, since I have 2 chars there already raised to level 11+ and also have tradeskill ability at that level also. They are also good alignment. So, should you come online and make chars on HK server, let me know by sending me a message here and I will work to outfit you and gelp you through. The game does not allow high levels to group with lower levels and have any decent drops or XP happen, nor does it allow PL'ing, since people outside your group cannot assist once you have engaged a mob. I will help all I can within the limits of the game. Hope to see some of you there.

    EQ2

    I have now read in another forum on the web that Mistmoore may have the highest population on all the servers. Comments in the THE EQ forums led me to try and see if that was true. I haven't found the numbers yet, but I can tell you, I believe it. If you do not roleplay, and are getting EQ2, please try to create your character to Mistmoore, with Innothule server being second choice. Also, in the EQ forums here, please post where you have created your characters, names, class etc. I will keep track there for now so we can see where we all are at. Thanks

    EQ2

    Everquest 2 comes out Tuesday. Should you be getting this game, please start your Characters on MISTMOORE server, since it is the one after H. Mistmoore is named after Mayong Mistmoore, the most powerful Vampyre in EQ Lore, and there is a zone in EQ (original) called Castle Mistmoore. Rumor has it Mayong used to make appearances back in the original expansions, but he has been very quiet in the post-luclin expansions. Enioy all.
  21. So we all have to start over again? *cries*
  22. Recently i the army Battle game, I was only able to attack Vexica and Arden Sloan. Unfortunately, my small improvements made a huge difference in attck values. They lost Soldiers. And gold... (smile) Now Arden Sloan is an inactive player and no longer in the battle system. I hope my attacks were not the cause of that. I was just trying to play the game as I thought it was meant to be played. I apologize if I caused someone to leave.
  23. I think Employee/Corporate Executive rather works for me.
