  1. Sorry guys, I know I haven't been around much lately, but the reason is... I'm getting married on Saturday! :D

    Also, at work, I'm finishing up a MAJOR project and have been working 7 days a week.

    So life has been busy, but I will return! Until then, I leave you in the capable hands of Tak and Mack!

  2. To those taking the First Lesson is Free beginner quest. Based on feedback, I have adjusted the number you need in order to find the material. Feel free to incorporate it into your threads.

    Please note, this only works for quest materials. If you find more than you needed this way, you do not get to keep them because this amount is reduced for the quest only. All other non-combat gathering needs to conform to the standard rules. You CANNOT selectively choose whether it's a quest material or not. Unfortunately, this is the balance to making it easier for the quest itself.

      Awesome! Thanks a ton!

      Admittedly, this is much easier considering most people taking the quest don't have an LD bonus set of gear. Appreciate the update.

      Way to look out of the newbies!

      Good Job Baldur and staff

  3. I updated the beginners quests last night to try and add some clarifications. Let me know if you still have any questions.

      @Baldur
      This is not important but could you change the title to say [F01] instead of [F1] It messes up the the sorting of the threads and places them right before floor 10 quest but right after floor 9 quest

    Your player request forum posts still need to meet the minimum post requirement for in character posts. That said... Approved.
  5. We've had several new quests added today, for both newbies and veterans!

  7. Floor 20 info has been posted.

  8. Question for everyone: What would make you want to join a guild? What would make you want to form a guild?

    I want to make guilds more important to the site and to characters. They're shown to be very important in the anime and the novel, and in MMO's in general.

    I realize housing/guild halls are currently a bit lackluster, and we'll be working on that, but what would you like to see from the Guilds themselves specifically?

    1. Baldur

      Good ideas, you guys have gotten my creative juices flowing.

  9. Unique Skill Update!

    I've been asked about this a lot, and I don't really have information to give you other than this:

    Unique skills will be reviewed after the 3.0 update. Once 3.0 is live and settled, staff will begin a complete reworking of Unique Skills. The scout broker, as a means of distribution is more then likely gonna be completely removed. Unique skills themselves will be completely changed and made to balance among themselves.

    We're basically going back to the drawing board because how they were distributed, and the abuse of them by people who could was detrimental to the site.

    To that end, Takao and myself have agreed that while we are GMs, we will not take a unique skill.

      Thank you!

  10. Reposted for Shark. Hello everyone! We are becoming a huge community and that doesn't come cheap. All staff here are volunteers and do this because they love the site. Right now, everything is paid out of pocket, by Erroneous. We would love for you to donate in order to help out with the site costs (i.e. Forum License, Domain Name, Hosting) so that we can keep Security and Forum Software up to date and possibly add some new features. If you do decide to donate, we have some fun, snazzy gifts of appreciation for you ;) Please message me (Shark) so we can get you the gifts of appreciation!

  12. Appraisals, housing buffs, and certain crafting items are being fixed right now to prevent abuse of the system. Please stand by.

    1. Baldur

      Baldur

      Rules elaborations have been made to the merchant profession, and to how housing works. Send me a PM if you have any questions. These rule changes go into effect immediately.

      But how are we gonna get unique enhancements if we don't abuse the system?!

      All the trades will be getting a revision with 3.0

  13. Happy holidays everyone! I will be sporadically available as I cook goose and do last minute preparations for Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful time with family and a relaxing break from school and work. Mele kalimimaka meke ha'ole makahiki ho

      If you are waiting on me for an IC reply, I am sorry this past month has been so horrible for them. I don't think I have any group threads which are waiting for me. But I am going to try and spend most of my SAO time in the next few days to work on SAO 3.0 :)

      Poor thing. Glad you're feeling better.

  16. I will be traveling for work again, which means most of my days will be spent on the road or on the jobsite. I should be able to post a little tonight assuming I'm not exhausted from travel, but my parents are flying in for the holidays tomorrow so I will likely not be able to post again until Wednesday.

      Don't worry about it!

  17. Yes. If only it was simply our desire to stay alive that kept us so safe. By now, Baldur could see that his words were bothering her. His words must have bothered her the last time they spoke on this subject as well, but the words were heavy on his heart, and he needed to share them with someone. He just hoped that Lessa could bare a little more burden, along with his name. He hadn't realized how difficult it was on her, asking her to remember him well. That, should he fall in spite of his best efforts and she survive, that she tell people he was noble in the end. That he had managed to s
  18. I think I got most of my threads. Let me know if I missed yours!

    I still need to hit Warmth, and the Boss meeting, and my thread with Teayre. If you're not one of those, please send me the link.

  19. I took tomorrow off of work so that I can catch up SAO stuff. Sorry I've been so swamped lately guys!

  20. The December update is live!

     

    1. Lessa

      Lessa

      I'm liking what I'm seeing.

    2. Lessa

      Lessa

      Question for you! The change to SP in OPs - when does that come into effect? Is that for threads created after the update? Or does it apply to threads that were already started? If I close up an OP that was created two months ago, how should I handle the SP?

  21. We will be getting a December update. It will not be 3.0. The loss of Oikawa unfortunately meant we lost the spearhead of 3.0, but we're still moving forward with it, just taking some extra time to make sure we have everything fleshed out and ready when we make such a large change to the game. I hope you guys will enjoy the December update changes, as they will give you a small peak at what to expect with 3.0

  22. Whew. We had a tornado yesterday. Thankfully I'm alright, nothing was damage or broken, but that was a MASSIVE storm.

    1. Lessa

      Lessa

      Glad to hear you're alright. Tornadoes are nothing to mess around with.

    2. Creius

      Creius

      I'm glad you're alright and I hope everyone around you is alright. Heard lots about massive storms recently. Thankfully everyone I know is alright that's gotten caught up in it

  23. Please do not spam the status updates. If you wish to communicate with someone directly, we have a lovely PM system for that.

    1. Lessa

      Lessa

      To be fair, it is not well communicated that posts on another player's page will show up on the status updates. It does say "post a message to x's feed" when you go to write something. And realistically, they shouldn't show up as status updates. Is that a function that could be turned off by staff?

    2. Baldur

      Baldur

      Not by staff no, perhaps by an Admin or a modification to the forum software.

    3. Lessa

      Lessa

      Mhm, admin was what I was thinking. I suppose I could have been more specific.

  24. I think I've caught up with my threads. If I missed you, let me know!

      Hey Baldur, I think we should just close that Hoya quest thread cuz It's been inactive for a while now...

  25. Baldur smiled and blushed a bit when Lessa commented on his harmlessness. It was true, that the worst he had done was treat people poorly, but it was something that he had tried very hard to grow out of. Since being trapped in SAO, it was like he had a new lease on life. Yes, it was a death game, but no one knew anything about him from the real world other than Tyger, and so he could almost reinvent himself. It was especially true now, since Tyger was... not around. He was making an effort to be the man he always wanted to be, and put a lot more thought into who that person would be. It wasn't
