Fri May 19 2000

Hmpf, this week has been plain idling. I should do something at weekend. Maybe a level would be nice, because you even cannot effectively collect money while soloing because of latest tune (small <500 exp monsies do not carry money, sniff ).

Most interesting discovery what I did today was that I have 2 players on my friends list who are at top15 on exp plaque *smile*. (hmm, sorry about bad english, my grammar dumps core with long sentences :)

Thu Apr 6 2000

Today i found a new nice newbie area, Sarku's Temple far east from Rain Forest. There is no tree and it is long way to there so it is not overcrowded with newbies :)

Being a druid is nice, and duck race has some nice features, but i still feel that drow is better (because of infravision :)

Summary:
  • +20k exp (total 0.4m)
  • gold difference -600 (total 4700)

Things happened before starting day...
