Ig seems to be a pretty good dude to deal with.
Well, I came to Siege with pretty much nothing but the good will of others and mine in return.
True story.....if you get on the black list Noone will sell you anything.I guess in inactive players stable, bank, houses.
Or maybe no one really want to deal with you after that stunt saturday
And this was what online gaming was before someone stuck the word, massively, in front of it

Igg is correct. Do not get blacklisted.
While I do not agree with the way this incident was handled, this does not change my opinion of most of the B^A folks. A couple of ass wagons will pop up in any guild/alliance with any longevity. It is an inevitable situation for any guild/alliance that recruits and tries to build the community.
Let's cut our community leaders a little slack sometimes. Let 'em know if there are issues. I know general chat is such an easy short cut to diplomacy... not always the best.
Any children that can not keep a civil tone in GC should be put on ignore.

The Glacial hair is well known to add 50% damage to any blow, as the chemicals used in making said dye cause burns and infections on contact . . .Why does anyone need glacial hair dyes to be the pk-king of Siege? Do you wanna look lovely to each other, you sweet boys?
Ah, I am just a PVP-noob. You see? I should just shut up and go back fishing. Does glacial hair add strength to your fish baits, too?

One thing about Siege that is very much different than most other shards........ News travels fast and to the farthest corners fast. Reputation actually matters (LOL I saw your post in UOHALL Eaerendil about liking the Baladurs Gate high res 2D) That reminds of another aspect of BG that no game has ever nailed down effectively A Reputation System, On prodo it is hard since you just change to one of the 7+ alts in your character stable. On Siege its a bit different and even if you have A lot of accounts it does not take long for everyone to know all of your alts. Anyway everyone starts at say 0 reputation and starts building + or - in the Community right off the bat.
Something else I would never give or sell event spellbooks, Dreads or anything high end to shard noobs that might only be around for a few weeks and never come back. That equates to just one more lost item or pet that can't be replaced.

Well, the glacial hair dye is an Atlantic thing I guess.
Here's a video from the Atlantic 2016 Valentine 1v1 PvP tournament. Not suggesting you watch all 2 plus hours of it...the first few minutes will be enough. I think Virem won that one.....I sort of skipped to the end

1. These glacial beards... So silly
2. These guys are fast. I am really impressed. How can anybody be so fast with his bare hands?
3. If people like virem are so impressively agile and fast, I must say: Respect!
However, that does not mean that I like it when you try to kill me in my own house when I am eating a pancake, Sir. You should be more sociable! You may visit me again, virem, and I will share my pancakes with you!
By the way: Did you like my house? I think what PVP is for you, customizing is for me... If you need an architect for your God-of-PK-temple, I can design it for you ;-)

If he was able to attack you in your house from outside, you may want to go back and re-architect it a little bit... He could've been alerting you to a design flaw

Hah the rep system in that game was silly of course. You could just slap a begger every now and then to keep Edward, Korgan and them from getting too salty about all the do gooding.
It's a public house, I got a vendor. He could enter the upper levels but not the core rooms which are safe ;-)
I recently played through BG1 again and tried it as a Paladin Xar, Montaron, Edwin, and Viconia and was a fallen paladin pretty quick out the gateHah the rep system in that game was silly of course. You could just slap a begger every now and then to keep Edward, Korgan and them from getting too salty about all the do gooding.
My pointing to that games reputation system even though silly works much like the Siege reputation system. Bad reputation = Things are hard to get and will cost you more.
I think it's called muscle memory and lots of practice, my friend. I'm sure you're familiar with Richard Bartle's four primary player types: Achiever, Explorer, Socializer and Killer. Bartle created MUD 1, you see, kicking off the endeavor all of us here enjoy so much. UO is, after all, a graphical MUD; hence all the You see a turkey sorts of messages and all those definite articles in names.
Most of us are mixtures of those four, of course, except for the killing part in my case, and probably yours. Yet, even those players many of us think are antisocial, are actually very social too. And not just among other PvP players always.
Funny part is that people imagine Siege as a community of killers. Nope
Ansel, I think you know Mr. Bartle really, really well...lol
Another one from the Wizards/Blackisle franchise was Planescape Torment. I am playing around with again, that was a game way ahead of its time. It pushed the Infinity Engine to its limits, it was not popular with the masses though as it was more complex than the dungeon crawl every one wanted. BG2 I like but it was a cheez fest and who is not going to use the built in cheat console
Ice Wind Dale not among my favorites but was a huge leap in graphics, I remember in the beta boards we were in aw of the water and new textures in the landscape. I dinked around a couple hours with NWN and just could not get into it. Friend of mine back in the day made the MOD Dark Side of the sword coast for BG1 despite a little on the buggy side it was like playing a whole new version of Baldurs Gate. And let us not forget Cavedog Entertainment and the greatest RTS ever Total Annihilation LOL a small group of us still get together every Tuesday morning and get a IP game going and blow the crap out of each other.
That I could live with
It could be done but it would take a good size team a good amount of time to accomplish. They would probably have a game of the year on their hands.
Yep used the mod for that, if I am not mistaken it was still the infinity engine with some upgrades in the rendering and 3d acceleration?
Depends. You can get everything from the EE's from mods pretty much (including the "hd" graphics) but the EE puts it all together simply, and you can play it on a tablet without the aid of extra apps. BG1 gets all the crap from BG2, kits, spells, etc, as well as new companions for both of mixed quality.
I'd say it's worth it if you are into those games. I play the series through every year or two, along with the IWD's and Torment every now and then, so I got them when they were on sale.
I only played wticher 3, but I really didn't dig it that much.
Tell me more about this torment??
There're no swords at all actually, with a few special exceptions.
