Re: July contest - contest in progress
Sorry Cris.
Well done mara, no idea how you manage to be *so* much faster than anyone else on these runs.
Hard luck hardware, well done for just taking part.
Big thanks to Harry. It was fun

Re: July contest - contest in progress
Yep, as Hardware said I'm also done now. I've been trying to re-run some runs faster, but there is no way I'll even be the same ballpark as mara. Wouldn't have beaten mara at the best of times, but holiday season, new jobs, new house and everything has made everything a little more difficult. (UK is...

Re: Minor bugs
Not sure if this is a bug, but the spy hot air balloon can't be used and turned back into the tux after retcon (as I'm level 1). I'm stuck with this hot airballoon. Can it be made so it can't be equipped, but able to be used please?
Fixed, thanks!

Re: Ideas for a new/better pvp system
Climbing the ELO board is cool, but the system needs something like a week-long board or tournament with its own rewards. That sort of structure will make all the difference in the world. This kind of thing would be a huge improvement. At the moment other than for cool there is no advantage to gett...

Personally, I prefer the pvp system in KoL compared to Twilight, with the exception of stealing items/stats. Maybe I missed something? But as it stands now it is just pure luck who wins, with the person having better eq having a huge advantage. PvP doesn't really give any rewards either, would be f...

Really good arguments here on both sides. I'm slightly on the side of the people who want to maintain status quo: I think those who supported the game back in the day deserve an advantage.

Just to check - if we do the level 11 quest and defeat the mick we become able to do free pulls and use skills freely. Doesn't that screw up everything? Is it a don't beat the mick, or a don't do any pulls/use any skills or we can just pull and buff freely after beating the mick?
