Hey, Bob! It's been a long time. Hope you and the Mrs. are doing well.

Don't forget that on epic we need drake hide to imp drake, making the ql extremely important. If this check is on each attendee's butchering skill rather than just the one butchering, it will be difficult to obtain imping hide...

If people wanted dragons around, perhaps they shouldn't have gone and slaughtered them. For some of us, that was the whole premise of trying to keep the uniques alive on MRh. Not because we can't kill them, but for new players to be able to experience. Considering I played for almost 5 years without seeing a unique in game, I certainly would have appreciated the opportunity as a new player...

I thought spear was a steel staff and longspear/halberd were wooden staves, but perhaps I am incorrect. I do find it odd, but for different reasons. Not saying the steel staff shouldn't be tweaked, but imho, all polearms should have some advantage vs. mounted. The advantage could be a chance to dismount/stun your opponent or greater reach, etc. As is, it sounds like steel staff was the only one showing any kind of advantage. With the others, people seem better off using their standard weapon.

I didn't say that it would do more. Perhaps you'd care to read what someone writes before looking for the 'perfect' picture to troll with...

I'm actually surprised to hear the other polearms don't do more damage to mounted opponents.

To say a metal rod would not do a massive amount of damage to someone on horseback does not make sense, but perhaps I'm viewing it differently. My view is that mounted opponents would get hit w/ the end of the staff, not the side, such as a jousting situation or riders running into polearm foot soldiers. The foot soldier wouldn't swing it like an axe, they'd plant an end in the ground as the rider approaches to let the rider's momentum take over upon impact. At the very least the rider would be dehorsed and stunned, not to mention the internal injuries a direct hit would cause. Boat jousting, on the other hand, while comical, doesn't seem intended.

Nice to see some familiar faces, and glad Malvado's doing well.

I'm curious about this also, as well as whether there is any differentiation between fighting other players, other kingdom valrei critters, and/or mobs in general. If there is no differentiation, will npcs pursue players into mines now? Having no escape from a gang of other kingdom eaglespirits isn't my idea of fun.

I see no reason to exclude Epic from this update. Titles don't cross server clusters (freedom to epic and vice versa). Why exclude a good portion of your playerbase from something as simple as a title? That's like only allowing Christmas presents on one cluster...
