Thanks Orth. I didn't realise my account was still active. Thanks for keeping the old fires burning for me. If you can update my e-mail on it that would be great. EDIT BY ORTH: OOPS I ACCIDENTALLY EDITED YOUR MESSAGE INSTEAD OF REPLYING.

I would just like to say what outstanding work by all those involved. Great for people like me who like to stop in from time to time. Old habits die hard.

64bit Os's are only of value if you intend to make use of more than 4 gig of ram. As most people don't use that much your probably wasting your time especially with windows Vista coming out in Jan 2007. The most important thing right now would be to make sure you have a DX10 compatible graphics card assuming you want to make use of the new vista interface.

Speaking as an ancient original layonara player I understand where you come from when you speak about Layonara evolving into something much larger than it was when you first stepped into the world. I remember when it was one module and a couple of zones and wasn't even called layonara ;-) It has grown and it continues to grow and in many respects that is a good thing as you quite rightly stated. However it often out grows you and how you see yourself within it. Even when it was samller and I was a GM there was accusations all the time that as you say came from the players perception of distance and fear. I don't forsee that EVER changing. If you go to any MMO players always feel the GM teams are out to get them or the company behind it is. There will always be distance there will always be suggestion of favoritisim. I can see that hasn't changed.
You raise an interesting idea of an Ombudsman however as I saw it the Player Grievence GM was such an individual. As all GM's are players I imagine they act with the best interest of the players in mind whether the players themselves appreciate that or not. In MMO's players needs to realise they can actually vote with their feet. If you don't like something then stand up and say so. Of all the MMO's I think the layonara GM Team are most communicative here in the forums. If players want changes etc then they only need to post here on the forum. The problem tends to arise that most people just don't care about an individual. They come here to play a game and if the incidents around them do not DIRECTLY effect them they have no care about it. I guess that is where the community isn't a community after all. Perhaps that is something people should think about?
I think everyone is aware that there is no layonara without the players themselves and I wouldn't say that it is ever taken forgranted. Now granted it has been a long time since I was active but I know Leanthar despite his position and other demands upon his life was always very active in listening to EVERY single voice that wished to speak. As he would tell you himself the number of changes that went ahead I absolutely hated were quite a few ;-)
Does the community need a voice outside of the GM team.... well I guess that is something you should ask the community, sounds like a poll to me :-)

As mentioned this is the first time I am seeing this. I am sorry that it has taken a while to get back to everyone. I have and always will have the utmost respect for everyone involved contrary to popular belief. Any further discussion will be with Ed in private.

At the end of these three trilogies we only have 2-4 more trilogies left for the campaign to be resolved--good or bad.
The end of the campaign but the beginning of another.... ;-)

I play Quintayne Cleric of Rofirien.
As Dezza said it is open to interpretation but remember that Rofirein is a gold dragon and Rofirein is Lawful. Much of his ethos is at tangent to the nature of the chormatic dragons. However they are dragons. How you approach it is up to you.

If you had mapped a network drive that would be picked up I expect.

I think this is the right thread to say this and I hope it answers all your questions.
The world and the time you spend in it is what you make it. That one value is the base upon which layonara stands.
What YOU make it.
No one is going to hand you anything on a silver plate that you didn't earn.
I do not mean that in a harsh way merely that you are just starting out. Finding your feet. Layonara is old, it has history and that history has been forged by many that came before and is being forged by the people now. Everyone's time will come, everyone will have their hero moment. That is the game. It is about heroes but what you need to remember is everyone else wants to be one too and the GM's are here to help you reach your goals. They are here to help everyone have their moments and have fun. That means that they are very busy. So be patient, try to be understanding but remain enthusastic.
You'll get your chance, your time. Everyone will.
Some of the best times are never seen by a GM but they are seen by each other.
Remember you are each able to tell a story, so tell them together.
That is what this community is about, at least I think so.
