I have been having trouble buying floors all over the realm...they
would tell me sold out but would take the coin anyway. Has anyone
else had this same problem? If so have you put a bug report up? just
wondering. respond if you have please
It is with some sadness and also with some contentness that I tell you all that I have stepped down as a GM.
It was in April 1999 that I was first hired as a GM, five years ago. Five years as a GM... to me, that seems like a really long time. At times, it has felt long. Nevertheless, I've cherished my time here, as a player and a GM.
I have truly enjoyed the friends I have made, amongst players and GMs both, and I have relished the opportunities and the things I have been able to do as part of this staff. Creating the history and the culture of this wonderful world has been a joy; bringing my vision to life in Muspar'i, a city that even before I joined staff had always been nagging at the back of my brain, was likewise wonderful. I've loved writing every one of the books I put onto the shelves of Elanthia.
PallieTherea [6:59 PM]: have really, truly enjoyed my time here, in all ways.
But it's time for me to go, which is why I have submitted my letter of resignation. It's just that time. All must end eventually.
I wish you all the best. Wishing you all happy reading.
Sincerest regards, GameMaster Cadaya History, Race, Library Guru, Muspar'i Guru, Former P2 Guru

I noticed that when I type premium in the game there is a listing for Who
won the Last premium contest? and it was last updated on like 10/2001. I
was wondering if there were ever going to be premium contests again, or if
there were how do I go about entering them.

Hello,
Somehow I got roped into being Francke's PR rep. He's so demanding as well.. bottles of purified water (slightly chilled!) and organic taffelberries with clotted cream in his workshop.. and now THIS.
PRESS RELEASE (written on parchment, no less):
FASHION GURU TO PARTNER ON A BOOK WITH FORTUNATE ADVENTURER
Francke Brentley, Fashion Consultant extraordinaire and Force of Aesthetic Nature in his own right, is pleased to announce his forthcoming book, "My Life as Fashion's Muse" [working title]. With his cutting edge style and far-reaching vision, Mr. Brentley has opted to collaborate with one of the "front line," as he eloquently puts it. "I want to allow the fashion enthusiast to benefit from the opportunity to also share their experiences," he adds. The goal is to give the new adventurer a good sense of fashion and why we need it in our Elanthian life. "Forget mana, darlings, it's ALL about the way you look!," Mr. Brentley stresses. "And I don't care how new you are on the scene. It doesn't take much to look good!"
And since Mr. Brentley has a sophisticated sense of adventure, he's created a competition to pick his partner. All he wants is the following: "Write a brief paragraph about how fashion has changed you and give me three tips that you'd like to impart to a person who is new on the scene and needs some help getting in touch with their inner style."
Does Mr. Brentley expect many to rise to the challenge? He isn't sure. "It's not going to be easy for someone to work with me. I have so much to share and so much wisdom to impart. It might be a bit overwhelming for them. This is the chance of a lifetime!"
END
The fine print:
ALTERATION GUIDE WRITING CONTEST:
What is this? We're going to draft a guide for new players on what alterations are, how they are done, and, if you get lucky enough to have one, some tips on what to get and how to negotiate your perfect "alteration."
Send your entry in care of me, Helena, at dr-helena@.... Write "Alteration Guide Contest" in the subject heading and follow the content instructions as stated above (a single paragraph about how fashion/alterations have impacted you and 3 pieces of advice for a newcomer).
We're accepting entries until midnight on September 26th. :)
The winner will be invited to work with Francke on this guide (adding the player perspective) and will receive fabulous prizes, including some quality altering time with Francke himself!
More fine print:
1. Entries must be received no later than midnight (CST) on Friday, September 26th.
2. All content offered will become the property of Simutronics and may be adapted in the above-mentioned "Alteration Guide for Newcomers."
3. This contest is open to all players.
4. Your player's name will be listed as co-author.

For the purpose of LTBs, only *continuous* years since the benefits came out count. Meaning that if you were premie for 1 year before the benefits came out, then stopped being premie for a month, then went back to being premie for 2 years, then the benefits came out, you would have only been counted as being premie for 2 years.
However, if you went and backpayed for that month that you weren't premie, then you would be premie for 3 years and that first year would count towards your LTBs.
Did that make any sense or am I just confusing you more? <g>
All of your previous time is gone unless you choose to backpay the entire amount covering the time you have been gone. The only allowances I've seen made concerning this are for military personnel, and if that is the case, you will need to contact Simutronics by phone for them to instruct you in what you need to do.

Temple Hill Housing Area · on 8/14/2003 10:03:07 PM 75

Greetings all!! Finally the Temple Hill Housing area is done, ready and out to
the public. This started out as an idea a few years back and through many hands
it has finally been completed by me with much help from GM Loriene and GM
Meakah. To tell the truth this area has caused me to curse often. I am sure it
will lead to more. You will notice it is mostly made up of cottages. The reason
for this is that they are made from stones from the old temple. They must remain
stone cottages. There are some other types of homes but not many. Once the area
has been out a bit I will go going around to make sure they stay stone cottages.
If you have questions feel free to post. You might see some of the homes that
are claimed fancied up a bit after the fact. This will be totally random. There
are a LOT of homes, customization of each isn't going to happen. :) Now with all
that, I hope you enjoy this housing area. It has some really cool stuff stuck in
there. Enjoy! GM Rinae

At long last, and after several attempts to contact people in game without being
able to get anyone's attention (*flail*) I am cheesing out and announcing the
participants who have so graciously volunteered to share with us their flair for
fashion right here!

Rather than ask people to represent cities that weren't their own, we've decided
to let each person represent the city they liked best.
The participants from the winning city will of course receive the adulation of
the populace, the opportunity to display their exquisite style, and some small
token of esteem from the Estate Holder's Council.
The voting public will have the opportunity to sign their names to a list for
each city. Signing a vote list will remove them from any other lists they may be
on, so there will be one vote per person.
The Amusement Pier will be open to all, so be sure to invite all your friends to
see the sights, play the games, and vote for the city they love the best!

I was premium for about two and a half years. I cancelled my service and recently got it reopened, hoping I could gain some benefit for the nearly $900.00 dollars I gave to Simutronics to use their product. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case and I am a bit upset but I'll live.
Being a "continuous" premium member is purely aesthetic, especially in the face of the fact that membership is based on numerical days. Days as premium should be . . . well . .. days as a premium subscriber. What irks me about all of this is that my premium days were slashed from their previous number to thirty days when I reopened my account.
All in all, I feel that the LTB's only benefit one type of premium customer -- the ones who've continuously been premium. This is good but I wish they perhaps had a tent for those who have been premium customers but for -- one reason or another -- had to pause their service.
Howdy folks!
Well what ever it was it's gone now. So next subject! Lets get
some talk going on the list again.
What does everyone think of their benefits so far?
Anyone have ideas for home stuff?
Questions about Anything premium?
List has been too quiet lately. So if people have things related to
premium that they want to talk about bring it on!
