EM Asiantam: they are increasing
EM Asiantam: my client carsh everytime

Mesanna]: do you mean telestorm?
EM Asiantam: he is asking you to add penalty to them
EM Asiantam: yep
Mesanna: ok
Mesanna: we check them for macroing
Mesanna: thats the only way we can try to catch them
EM Asiantam: so you leave them as they are?
EM Asiantam: no penalty?
Mesanna: unless we can catch them macroing
EM Asiantam: then why do you ask us to page GM
EM Asiantam: we do page them
EM Asiantam: if it is not a macroing
Mesanna: thats all you can do , let them do their job then
Mesanna: nothing we can do
EM Asiantam: you allow them to use illegal tools?
EM Asiantam: can you let EM or GM send them to jail?
EM Asiantam: I got client crash everytime
EM Asiantam: and telestorm
Mesanna: NO the GM looks to see if they are there
Mesanna: then we need to look at your client
Mesanna: or your system
Mesanna: Bleak can maybe give some reasons why you crash
Mesanna: when you teleport
Mesanna: do you do it when you recall or gate?
EM Asiantam: not only me who crash
EM Asiantam: I have evidence
EM Asiantam: pictures or movies
Mesanna: we are done with the multi boxing issue
Mesanna: I am asking about your crashing
EM Asiantam: everytume I get crashed
Mesanna: which client do you use
Mesanna: classic or enhanced?
EM Asiantam: classic
Mesanna: how often do you get telestormed?
EM Asiantam: every event
EM Asiantam: he gets crashed
EM Asiantam: and sometimes
EM Asiantam: he gets 3 times crashed in 1 event
EM Asiantam: he is insisting this is because of the multi boxers
Mesanna: No its not

EM Asiantam: can you make change to the menu gump to show is this account is active or not, with the date?
EM Asiantam: that we applied game time to the account
Mesanna: of the owners/co-owners?
EM Asiantam: yes when did they apply game time codes to their accounts
EM Asiantam: so she won't miss to pay
EM Asiantam: for game time codes
Mesanna: thats alot of work to do on our side
Mesanna: most just use a spreadsheet
Mesanna: if they have multi accounts to pay for
EM Asiantam: she is asking because many players left UO when they lost their houses
Mesanna: I understand
Mesanna: but what you are asking for is not an easy task
Mesanna: and we are already tasked out for all next year
EM Asiantam: she is sad to see many players left UO because of this
EM Asiantam: and lost many valuable items

Mesanna: Greetings
EM Asiantam: about peacemaking
EM Asiantam: he is a bard and always cooperating with other players
EM Asiantam: however
EM Asiantam: he never gets points
EM Asiantam: when he does Zipactriotl or Void pool
EM Asiantam: can you fix it?
Mesanna: peacemaking is not an aggressive act
EM Asiantam: he sings for 11 hours at void pools
EM Asiantam: but he was out of the ranking
Mesanna: we have spoken about this several times
Mesanna: it doesn't seem fair you are assisting others to get their rankings imo
Mesanna: we will talk about it again
EM Asiantam: thank you for looking in to it

EM Asiantam: about pub 95
EM Asiantam: can you add Medusa scale as resources?
EM Asiantam: so we can create armors?

EM Asiantam: do you like this idea?
Mesanna: for medusa scale armor?
EM Asiantam: yep
EM Asiantam: adding scales as resources
EM Asiantam: we know they are hard to obtain
Mesanna: I got that part
Mesanna: we do not have time to come up with new armor
Mesanna: but I like putting the useless resources
Mesanna: as something useful
Mesanna: you can use them now for the lenses
EM Asiantam: how about near future?
EM Asiantam: is that going to happen?

EM Asiantam: we cant stack them
Mesanna: that help with this
Mesanna: that you can find in treasure chests

Mesanna: then people would stop doing treasure chests
Mesanna: lol
EM Asiantam: skeleton keys
Mesanna: defeats the purpose of putting useful items in them
EM Asiantam: according to him he get it broken more often than before

EM Asiantam: not a chest, lock picks
EM Asiantam: they are too heavy
Mesanna: we will talk about it
EM Asiantam: thank you
