I was muted for 3 hours for saying 'hail' too many times. Hopefully they will get banned completly soon.
I am working on a link that will allow muted people to see chat in realtime. It would be a benefit to the syrnia server too due to the amount of data loaded each time the history button is pressed ;-)
Works fine running offline as a file, has the added benefit that you can see a lot more chat at once too.

AFK Combat
Lately I have not spent much time sitting at the pc, which isnt a problem if you are doing most skills as you can just come back and do botchecks when needed. With combat/fighting its not so simple...
Currently my combat level is 31, im wearing a full steel suit of armour and my individual stats are as follows.
Defence 26
Attack 26
Strength 24
Health 29 (giving me 34 hit points)
At this level you can fight fairly high level creatures as long as you have plenty of food (and your health bars are more than the creatures maximum hit). But fighting while away from keyboard is another story.
Do you just fight someone you are 100% sure you will be safe until a botcheck? How would you know when to move on? Watching combat in a new location and seeing how much health you lose between botchecks is not a gurantee as to wether you can survive there. Random creatures and critical hits make it hard to be sure.
Having fought gnomes for what seems like forever, I decided to move on to Lemo woods as valera is always so busy and the long timers means you could only get 10xp per minute. Lemo woods is great for afk'ing. The most health I lost between botchecks there was 10, most of the time it was just 2 or 3hp.
At times Lemo woods gets busy too, which means slow xp gains per hour of fighting there.
Deep Lemo is very tempting being close to Lemo woods. But alas, even though my CL is 31 and im wearing steel, I cannot fight afk there!! After watching my fights there for 10 minutes I noticed that I often got 2, 3, or sometimes 4 bears in a row. These bears were stripping me of my health at a rate of up to 10hp per bear. Check out comments for a few combat reports against bears.
My next stop will be jungles edge. While the xp per creature killed is a lot less there, im hoping I can afk without having to worry!!

Accidental thieving
After checking out the thieving levels of everyone at my location to see who would give me the quickest travel time across the island, I thieved someone and suceeded instead of getting my speedy travel to the jail.
One half of me is thinking I should give the gold back, the other half is saying that its part of the game and the prize for spending time levelling the skill. The later half won the argument, im keeping the gold ;)
You stole 1024 gold from xxxxxxxx, without anyone who saw you doing it

Lag & bugs
With syrnia having a nice shiney new ticket system I wrongly thought that this would solve all the outstanding issues. How wrong I was!
Over 10 days I created 5 tickets.
The only one solved (and was fixed pretty quickly) was the elven casino botcheck causing 2 sets of every frame to be on the screen.
Error --> Work 1 bxz was marked by the bug mod as solved after telling me it was probably due to lag. With the problem still happening, I dont really see it as solved. The error message that players get now says that the issue may be due to lag, probably to stop people creating tickets when they encounter the error.
The 'Chat (eating lines)' ticket was also put down to lag by the mod reply to my ticket.
Heres the reply from my ticket of the top issue of chat totally dieing which many players experienced:
Which leaves the Battle arena ticket which I created on 2007-09-15 17:00. Almost 2 weeks without a reply of any sort, even though I have added to the ticket to try and get some sort of response. Players have also posted in the feedback forum and got no reply.
A simple "this wont be fixed for a month at least" or "we are trying to get it working by next week, but make no promises" reply would be better than being ignored.
Having set my goal to getting to CL29 to fight in the battle arena with optimum stats, I have been left for ages not being able to make use of the hard work I put in to my character. Im also unsure wether to train combat more or not as I am basing my combat around the arena and medals (which still have no use after a promise months ago that they would become usefull).
Im beggining to wonder if the bug mods job is to introduce new bugs and not fix them!

Standard "Syrnia is broken message"
The official word is...oh, there isnt any offical word. Hopefully the new announcment forum is going to be used to announce a huge update, as it wasnt used to announce any aknowledgement of the current issues.
Update: Syrnia is back online again

Inventory missing
Currently there are a few issues, including all items in your inventory gone, which means you are unable to work at all.
Was kinda hoping that whoever is working on the code (M2H isnt the only one who fiddles with syrnia code) would fix bugs, not create more ;-P

Announcements Forum
An announcements category has appeared on the syrnia forums.
Many people miss information on the syrnia news page so the announcement forum will solve this issue.
This also means that m2h is about and doing some coding, which means we may get some bugs fixed too. With there being so many bugs we can only hope that he has time to make updates as well ;-)
M2h's other game got an update a few days ago too. While most of the work was done by players, m2h had to implement them. So its good news that m2h is concentrating on his games for the time being.

The invasions have finished
Just turned up in Xanso and there is no option to join the pirates, which means the invasion is over.
The invasion was small and lasted only a short time, probably becouse it was 2 or 3 days earlier than usual so less pirates were made/trained than usual.

There are 360 Dread pirates left.
You are attacking a Dread pirate (12) at Unera.
There are 32 people fighting here.
At 40 seconds per round, its not really worth fighting here for xp, but if you want to kill pirates, these are a nice level for most players.
You are attacking a Keelhails pirate (18) at Aunna.
There are 12 people fighting here.
There are 203 Keelhails pirates left.
Only 23 seconds per round for this, a lot better if you can handle level 18 pirates.

Syrnia Chat Dead again
Chat is currently down as of the time of this post.
This chat problem has occured about 3 or 4 times today, which is a pain in the butt if you are trying to trade or was chatting (obviously).
Hopefully someone has raised a ticket about it ;-)
On that note, im still waiting for a reply for the ticket I raised 8 days ago about the broken battlemage arena. Double frame bug in Elven casino was fixed quickly and my other 2 tickets were put down to lag... funnily enough, one of those tickets was to do with chat eating up lines that were said, ie I was typing them and some were not appearing in chat. If anyone else has had that problem, raise a ticket!

Rats summoned by orb?
Saw this announcement in world chat today and it looked strange as it was in white text and bold, rather than the usual red.
[1]13:55 An evil mage summoned 50 Rats at Arch. cave 4.7. We need to kill the Rats before we can continue working
This must be what you see when someone uses an orb to summon rats.
Arch caves is a good place to summon them if you want all the comabt xp to yourself ;-)

Thanks to Kannecat for messaging me the following, as I was sleeping when this happened:
[0]05:51 bandit ships seen on the horizon....
[0]05:54 the bandits attack
[0]06:00 The bandits drop a combination chest at Port Senyn to distract incoming fighters
[0]06:15 with the bandits taking over Port Dazar, the rest of the fleet arrives there, instead of invading other towns
[0]06:15 they unleash their force of critters on the rest of the island since they weren't defeated at Port

New ticket support system
I'll just paste whats on the news page as most people dont check the news page ;-)
"We've added a new ticket system to replace the current email & message support. All support now runs trough the ticket system, which you can also use without owning a Syrnia account.
This should really improve our support to all players. We will try to answer most open questions from the current emails and moderation messages, however we suggest you to open a ticket for any pending problem/question you've got.
Any website quests (guests?) can use the ticket system via this link, this link is presented to players who have trouble logging in, activating their account etc.Now, let's hope you'll never need the ticket system ;)."

Syrnia down again
Update: Syrnia now working again
"There has been some maintaince today, this had to be done because of the strange errors popping up everywhere. The cause is known, and we hope we've fixed it now."
Having seen lots of errors today I assumed this would happen at some point. I wish just 1 minutes notice could be given before they do this as I was halfway through a fight with an ogre...
Update from main page:
"Status:
The error we're repairing right now has caused the 2 maintainces from a few days ago as well, so we hope we're able to permanently fix this problem."

Hidden bug invasion
Today I came across a bug invasion while in arch caves which im guessing no one else spotted due to its secluded location. For once I kept silent about the invasion and managed to get to level 28 health.
While the bugs are only level 1 and give 7 xp per kill, the xp added up quickly as the timer was so short (11 seconds) and most of the kills were one hit kills. Being able to fight while afk was also handy. Hardly any food was needed either!
For once I remembered to remove my good armour and weapons before fighting them. Learned that the hard way from fighting gnomes with good equipment and having it break. ;-)
Gained 9.2k xp from them today. As im going to bed now, I might as well tell everyone that they are in Arch cave south so others can get some easy xp too. Keep in mind that you have to do a quest before you can get here and you need Combat Level 25 to be able to do the quest. As well as giving a guy a few thousand gold peices for the quest, you have to pay 500 gold to get to heerchey too. Nice and easy huh? :-P
You are attacking a Bug (1) at Arch. cave S.
There are 0 people fighting here.
12 You struck and dealt 12 damage to the Bug. 0/6
There are 925 Bugs left.

Syrnia is down
Update: Syrnia is now up and working again!
Update 2: Early reports suggest that the trading posts are now working again
"MaintainceSyrnia is temporary offline for maintaince, please stand by for more news.We will provide an estimated downtime if possible.We're sorry we couldn't warn, but we hope this won't take long."
I guess with all the problems lately we saw this coming. I cant help but wonder if it was to do with the optimizations done not so long ago...
For those who are bored senseless, you can use this url to read and talk on the forum if you was already logged in when the server went down ;-)

Errors and broken trading posts
Syrnia is throwing up a lot of errors today. First there is this sort of error:
error --> 54433333333 1189406125- Poj
Secondly, no trading posts are currently working.
Apparently the bug mods know about the problem so dont need it reported to them, I guess their inbox is mroe than full already. The word on the syrnian street is that the problems are being worked on.

Armour and weapon stats debate
Since the stats where changed for saurus, centaur and rose equipment a debate has been started about the affects of these changes.
I agree with the notion that some of these changes make other equipment pointless and that a some balancing needs to be done.
Read and participate in the thread on syrnia's main forums.

Syrnia Status
Update: Syrnia seems stable again
Lot of error messages and lag at the moment. Logging out and back in has sorted this problem out for some. Still a bit slow and pings to the server are timing out.

Chest at Eully
[0]16:01 because the Eully chest was the first to be successfully opened, the city drops another chest
Within 30 seconds of the chest arriving at eully, botherham guessed the correct combination with his first guess!! The number he used to unlock this chest was 232.
'The last chests wich was found here was succesfully opened by boterham'

Thieving, LTB's and LMC's
Its going to take a while to collate all the stats to give a proper guide to thieving so for now i'll post things as I go along.
Being a level 18 theif means you can steal 2 and 3gp items succesfully most times, about 9 times out of ten. Today I stole a 12gp cabbage, then got jailed for try to steal a second one.
Locked mouldy chests sell for between 650 and 900 gold, with the most common price being 750 gold. The items or gold you get from them are usually worth around 400 to 500 gold. So selling them will make you more money but if you want to increase your thieving level, its worth opening them for the 125xp they give each.
Here is what I got when opening the few LTB's and LMC's I had:
You opened your Moldy chest...It contained 1 Ogre pickaxe !
You opened your Moldy chest...It contained 461 Gold !
You opened your Moldy chest...It contained 59 Onion !
You opened your Moldy chest...It contained 1 Ogre pickaxe !
You opened your Toolbox...It contained 49 Gold !
You opened your Toolbox...It contained 25 Gold !
You opened your Toolbox...It contained 25 Gold !
You opened your Toolbox...It contained 10 Gold !
You opened your Toolbox...It contained 25 Gold !
Opening all these gave me 750 thieving xp.

Todays invasion
At about 2pm Syrnia time today I went past Xanso with the intention of seeing if an invasion was happening as those pesky pirates were about due. No invasion, everything was peaceful...
At around 7pm when I get back home and login I notice that invasions have happened and finished at Xanso and Franir mines. After waiting a week for them I miss them, typical!!
There are some level 25 bonebreakers and level 18 Keelhails at Mentan and Berian so some xp will be gained at least ;-)
The Keelhails pirate died. You got 44 health experience.
See comments for a few example fights, to get an idea of how much damage they can inflict.

Mining in Ancestral mountains
Ever had a good idea which didn't turn out to be so good?
I decided that I would have a break from combat and level my mining a little bit. Due to the fact that Heerchey has a cost of 500 gold to get too even if you own a boat, I figured it would be quiet and not many people mining there. I was so very wrong!!
There are 6 other players working here
At least I can do some digging while im on the island, sucks that the mines are so busy though. In future I think I will mine iron at rose mines on Serpenthelm. Seems to be a bit quieter due to the fact you have to fight to get there and its not listed on the dw-hq mining guide page, although it is mentioned if you look at the Serpenthelm map there.

Login issues
Update: Just managed to login, hopefully the problems are over.
There is definately some gremlins in the system today. Currently the main Syrnia page loads up ok but after entering your login details and clicking the login button you get a simple 'error' message.
From what I can work out, its only people who are trying to login who have problems. People who were already logged in are ok.
From playing with urls it seems that the server isnt creating news sessions for peeople who login.
Forum urls work ok...

Syrnia online again
No reason given for the outage yet but syrnia is back online. Must have have been a lot of people waiting to login as there was about 40 logins within the first minute of the server working again ;-)
Syrnia currently down
I have no idea why syrnia is down or when it will be working again. If I hear any scraps of information about it i'll post here.
In the mean time, no tears about all the xp you didn't gain this morning due to the outage!! ;-)

Fox tails, Tulips and Bats
Seems I missed a couple of events while offline last night and early this morning. Dosn't look like the first even went too smoothly...
[0]20:52 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: Hello fellow Syrnians, my name is Dean and I run the university up in Unera.
[0]20:53 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: I've had my eyes on Princess Rose for quite some time and want to give her a present
[0]20:55 Dean of Unera[Dearn]: I want to give her the best looking fox-tail coat money can buy
[0]20:55 Dean of Unera[Dearn]: Therefore, I am having a contest for the most perfect fox-tail money can buy
[0]20:56 Dean of Unera[Dearn]: I will be at Unera to judge them as you bring them to me.
[0]20:56 Dean of Unera[Dearn]: Good luck everyone I'm paying 3500 gold for first place
[0]21:04 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: I'm truly sorry everyone, but there is technical difficulties
[0]21:04 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: I will have to delay the contest for a while...problems getting a judge to help
[0]21:05 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: working on a solution or work-around as I speak, so please have patience
[0]21:14 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: Well, it seems fox-tails won't be needed at the present time. Sorry everyone.
[0]21:15 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: Instead, I have decided to give the prettiest Tulip someone can bring to me to the Princess
[0]21:15 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: Good Luck, and sorry again for the earlier mishap
[0]21:18 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: I will also have a future contest for the fox tails as soon as my judge returns.
[0]21:19 Dean of Unera[Syrnia]: That will either be a little later today, or next Friday.
The second event I assume was an invasion on heerchey. The 500 gold to get to heerchey is probably worth it for the higher level fighters.
[0]05:03 A cry of help comes from the Heerchey family, as bats have come out of the caves

R.I.P my trusty old rose sword
"Your Rose crest sword was destroyed while fighting. It was unrepairable and removed from your inventory"
Since around Combat Level 10 the rose sword has been my friend in battle, only put away when fighting creatures that were worthy of risking my ogre club against. Even after reaching attack level 25 it was still my weapon of choice due to the dissapointment I found with the steel weapons.
After serving me faithfully from CL 10 or 11 to CL 28, your duty is done. Rest in peace.

Lizard spear value
An auction for a lizard spear on the market section of the main forums has reached 4000 gold.
It will be worth keeping an eye on how much these items sell for over time in case you are in the market for buying one. In theory the current prices they go for will be inflated due to the fact they are new and people will always pay more for rare items. As more of the Lizard equipment gets ripped from the dead bodies of Lizard men and women, more will be on the market and prices will fall.
In time we will see what the prices will finally settle down too.
