Altlist

(in order of importance)

Play alts

Alt Race Class Tier Comment
WinterRose High Drow Wizard Hero pushing to 999 and automorph.
Candlebite Dragon Mage Hero permahero Eragora ascendant.
Cobbles Golem Warrior Hero main (and only) hitter.
Maeva Elf Mage Hero on hold, to go Sor one day.

I focus on spellcasters. They give more freedom when exploring, adventuring, collecting/creating gear etc. While I don't necessarily abhor tanking per se, it's not my cup of tea, unless I'm tanking fellow casters.

Utility alts

Alt Race Class Tier Comment
Teacup Gnome Cleric Lord spellBOT / harmo service.
Thunderstone Dwarf Warrior Hero sharpenBOT, ask me to log him for you!
Psistorm Lizard Man Psionicist Hero transmute/steel service.
Orkenskin Orc Archer Hero skin/bark service.
Lidda Halfling Rogue Hero pick that lockbox! service.
Blanch Gargoyle Mage lvl27 semiretarded (int 10) mage for cheap and easy fading.

I got my bases covered with these utility alts, with the odd exception of illuminating/christening and occasional clense service. But I got Winter pumping towards Lord, and clensing isn't really so important as to invest that much effort into a simple utility alt.

Locker alts

Whisperleaf Ent Warrior Hero my learning alt, used to learn the ropes. Parked nowadays.
Weraxai Drow Warrior Hero my first alt, with no DCs, no leveling gear.. a mess. Now is a locker.

I don't have that many alts, which I prefer - I play what I like and don't bother with much else.

Contributions

I've done a lot of work on exploring and mapping Eragora, so most of the content there is from my workshop. I used Candlebite, back when he was 500+ Liz Mag to map the continent and enjoyed myself tons while at it.

As for my other work, I did some mapping of the newish lowmort areas (Ofcol Refugee Camp, Hospice Refugee Camp, Airways, Tiureess, Stone City), and possisbly more.

My plan is to continue to explore and map what remains undiscovered and hopefully profit greatly by vast riches that surely lay uncovered!

Eragora work

It's no secret I'm in love with Eragora. It's also no secret that Eragora can be a hellish place and is considered by some to be end-game, 800+ hero zone.

This is false. The place can be as enjoyable as any even for 101 mages, since easy areas do exist and provide ample opportunity to obtain excellent T1 gear even for small adventurers.

In order to both endear and to generally familiarize the players with Eragora, and to the psychologically troublesome concepts of running botless, with no safety net of "c tele sanc", I have written the (now a bit obsolete on some aspects) Eragora Survivalist Guide, but consider this wall of text only the begining.

The wiki pages on Eragora and all the sub-zones, as well as the Eragora Self-sufficiency Gauge should provide ample info on how not to die, and in what areas death is of no concern whatsoever.

And all of this is again just a beginning. You need more Eragora info? For heaven's sake, don't hesitate, just ask me!

Guild / Buddyset

For some time now I have been a member of the HoC (Horsemen of Chaos) buddyset.

Lately though, with the reduction in its active members, I have also started my own guild, the oh-so-aptly-named Surveyors and Mappers Guild, or the SMG.

The guild manifesto is simple - Explore and Experience the World, as opposed to "grind the same areas for xp over and over again for years and be incapable of running at all in the wee hours after reboot due to a lack of spellbots."

If I remain the only player in this guild, so be it, but if you want to join, to explore the old and new never-run areas, find new quests, items, and experiences, map the said areas and dare to go where others do not, then just say so.

To join the guild there is but a single requirement - have an alt that has one or more of the exploration insignia. No, the DC quests do not count.

Personal

I'm a 30+ year old network engineer and sysadmin, married, have wife and two kids, and consider playing Avatar a superior experience to any other game online. Text-based descriptions have no equivalent competitor in graphical games since there is no graphics that will ever beat my imagination.
