i'd like to point out that quite honestly the ban list for Layonara is very very small, every ban is made public knowledge when it happens (this is so rumors don't start and so the DM team can explain why he was banned before rumors the fly) i have been around for all but the very first banning (saw the forum post though explaining that he was banned for being a general nuisence, and trying to destroy the server (this being before the password protection) and i'm fairly certain that the ban list is actually less then 40 names, for a server of this size and has been up as long as this server has, that is a very small number, and i can safely say that everybody i can remember that was banned was rightfully banned
the whole i'm leaving and here are my parting shots thing was at one time a common occerence, and in my oppinion is a horrible thing to do, it's the, "i'm not having any fun in this game i don't pay for, so i'm going to leave, but before i do, let me spit in your face" i have the utmost respect for the DM team because they put their hard work and effort into trying to make this game more fun for everyone, none of them make any money at it, and infact Leanthar spends a good deal of money keeping the servers open, trust me, that donation button on the top of the page is not a get rich quick scheme
the fear thing is an unfortunete side effect of a system that splits people down a line such as in this case players and DMs (yes i know DMs are players as well but more on that later) the DMs have a form of power in the DM toolkit controls, there are some players that believe the DMs are out to get them, which is simply not true, will the DMs sometimes get your character killed, yes, will those deaths sometimes result in a death token, yes......but this is because the DMs job is to challenge players, this game isn't as fun when there is no challenge to the gameplay (i'll grant there is a small amount of enjoyment in slaughtering goblins but it's very fleeting) no unfortunetly at times to make the game more challenging the DMs have to place more, or more often, different creatres down, the idea of this is not to kill the player, or even make him say "thats new a DM must be running an impromptu quest i'll go talk to it" (btw bad idea if it's a strange looking ogre in the haven mines that isn't normally there, treat it as another ogre in the haven mines as it more then likely is) they do it because they are trying to challenge you, and while it will sometimes result in the character dying, that was not the intent, the DMs never perposly kill somebody unless they do something very very very very very......STUPID!!!
the other thing that comes up at times is people who think the DM characters get special treatment, this is again an unfortunete side effect of policy, because there are Players that are also DMs, the players that are not DMs often times assume that it means the DMs favor that player and either go easy on them, or give them stuff, this is of course compounded due to the fact that many of the DM characters actually have stuff, but that is not because they are DMs, that is because they have been around for 2+ years, and the stuff has built up. This problem like the fear problem is one the DM team will always have to deal with, as the only way to solve the problem would be to say that the DMs can not be players.......this is not an option though, if you deny a DM the right to also be a player, then you will get absolutly no volenteers for GM, and the few GMs you would get, would quickly be burned out and not want to do it anymore after say a month or 2

to my knowledge only one character has been turned into an NPC upon retirement, and that would be the exceptionaly odd, or oddly exceptional dwarf Alexei, which who can be found looking for scrolls near the temple of Aragon
well actually i take that back, Freya Valkerie in Krandor used to be a character of Forsetti's, but i believe when he through the npc in there it was more a lack of names and a fondness for that name that he named the NPC that, i don't believe that she retired and started shipping packages
i guess what i'm getting at, is that it's not unheard of, that a character becomes an NPC, but A you'll need to probobly give the DM team a reason to put him out there, and secondly, he will likely have had to have made a mark in Layonara

i'm no expert on the way the crafting system works, but i don't believe there is anyway to make something sit at a constant percentage, though i am fairly certain you could make it so they didn't weild xp (i believe it involves fudging the give xp script on it though and not sure if that would disable it for just the yeast or for all cooking as was the case when Layo first went to CNR (cooking was there, though not in it's current form, and for a little while you could not level up in cooking due to a scripting bug which gave you the adventuring XP but not the crafting xp)

and nobody seems to mind when random people pick crops that are quite obviously not theirs (the only favorite being all the people that used to pick corn on Parts field.....the question isn't why he kept making killer scarecrows....the question is why he was paying people to kill them)
the same books get stolen buy the wererat, who hides in the same place, several times a day
fur traders would rather pay people to do their work for them, instead of doing the work themselves, so that they can pace around and watch other people make things from furs
there is always an unlimited supply of gobblins willing to take the normally short term roll of goblin leader

i found it on the Bioware server lists, it appears that it was set to an old IP when the server was reset, the current IP on it is
69.80.198.68
that isn't the quest server, as the module currently on the quest server is central

thats again because of the way that bioware AI uses spells the DM team has had to make many monster spells actually abilities
either that, or just like the full PVP doesn't affect monsters neither does the null magic zone

This is true. But the point Leanthar was making is that the crimes you were suggesting aren't just a matter of IG law enforcement - the GMs can track it back and banhammer the perpetrator. It's against the rules of the server, not just the laws of the land. It's kinda like directly offending an Overgod of some sort.
Edit: As much as it pulls the teeth from some of the Rogue characters, it's necessary... All you'd need is one 25th-level Rogue walking through Hlint and everyone would have to go get new stuff. honestly it falls under the geifing rules is why rogues cannot pick pocket, and that is because pick pocket is poorly implemented, because players will tend to notice the missing items without seeing the rogue take it (they still get the yellow text saying they lost an item, just doens't say why) meaning unless the theif takes gold the player being stolen from will know the other problem is the theft system is completly random, IE the system chooses a random item in a characters inventory, or gold, and that player losses that item or X amount of gold, also when a theif steals something, with the lack of a loot dead body system, there is absolutly nothing a player can do to get the item back from the theif unless the theif is nice enough to return the item these are all the reasons why players are not allowed to steal from other players in Layonara the reason you can not steal from non hostile NPC's is because A i don't believe they carry anything, and B should you be seen it will completly mess up your factions and makes a lot more work for the DMs you actually can in fact pick pocket hostile NPC's though of course the DC is higher due to them being hostile, and the only things you will get from them is the stuff they would have droped should you have killed them, but you can steal from them (unless this rule has changed i recall it being fine)

the reason is because of the way that bioware implemented the potions to begin with, you see when you drink a potion the bioware system essentually casts that spell on you at a given spell level (3 in the case of bulls strength or example)
in actualality if you used the non targetable heal potions they wouldn't work either, the reason the targetable heal potions work, is because to work around the bioware system the team changed the way the potions worked, each on has a special ability instead of casting a spell, so they work while the bioware default potions will not work

Owns a siginificant collection of one or more of the following, even by "nerd standards":
-[ ] Comic Books; NOT Manga
--[ ] ...and has a significant number of them in proctector sleeves AND has boards in those sleeves.
-[ ] Comic Book Memerobilia; e.g. action figures, posters, apparel, coffee mugs, non-graphic novels with comic book characters.
-[X] Pen and Paper RPG rulebooks.
-[ ] Star Trek Memerobilia.

E.g. "the X-men guy," "that munchkin who knocked off the dragon," "our best customer."

fair enough, a few of them were somewhat refured to during the Bio, so Quests Lue has been on (that i can even remember the names to)
Seths "Skull in the box quest" (this was precalander and prequest write ups so i doubt theres much record of this one
Leanthars and Dezza's Shadow Blade quest
Pan's Elemental scrolls quests
Leanthars Revival of Katia Quest (forgot what you called it, might of been something like ritual of a lost ancient)
hmmm i know there were lots more, just can't think of them right now

it's 10+level of spell, +primary stat bonus, + feats
so a wizard, casting a fireball with an 18 int, has a DC of 10(base) +3(third level spell) +4 (intelegence) for a total of 17, now if they have spell focus that would add i believe another 2 making it 19

i'm a lefty for everything except scissers, because left handed scissors are so horrible that i had to learn to use right handed scissors and i got used to that
the odd thing is that my stronger foot is my right (used to play soccer and kick better with my right) so while i'm left handed, i'm right footed

i loved the 3 Dragonlance games, well at least the first 2, the Third one Dark Queen of Krynn was released with a bug which made a mandatory section of the game unbeatable (IE something akin to a person you needed to talk to not being in the game) and so i put them down and am still to this day upset that i could not beat Dark Queen of Krynn
