Velious: Meele are unable to be bound in Thurgadin.

[Jaxon]

We were unsuccessful in binding meele in Thurgadin. We attemped to bind on the bridge, just inside the gates, and inside the bank, but the meele kept getting messages that they were unable to be bound.

[maximum]

Probably Velious-wide issue. Could not get binded in Kael Drakkel city, either.

[Daldaen]

They weren't up last night.

[thieros]

Ah gotcha! Yeah, was having same problem in kael last night

[nilbog]

thurgadina fixed, pending update.

What about thurgadinb (icewell keep) ? Should casters and melee both be able to bind there?

Kael, we will likely preemptively restrict binds to entrance areas for simplicity sake, as was done in Velious era. As well as melee binding at Iceclad dock.

Adding thurgadinb as bindable for all, per this link:

Pending update:

thurgadina, thurgadinb, skyshrine - can bind anywhere in there
kael - can only bind near entrances
iceclad - pure casters anywhere, melee can be bound at dock

[Jaxon]

Iceclad dock binding for melee was not introduced until the Nov 7, 2011 patch:
http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20011107.html

Added a melee bind location to the dock in Iceclad.

[nilbog]

Yeah.

We are preemptively adding the dock bind, and changing Kael to entrances only. Since there's currently no way to dynamically change these when the time comes, we are doing it for simplicity.

[Zoolander]

thurgadina was only bindable inside and outside bank what i recall

[nilbog]

I seem to recall binding in there wherever I wanted. The Bind Guide listed above shows anywhere in zone, for thurgadina.

Will need additional research and commentary to change this.

Some kind of issue with Skyshrine not being bindable by casting Bind Affinity on yourself, but allowing you to bind others?

BINDING, By Tempust holyhand, 51 cleric the rathe (2/26/2001)

You may bind here ..err.. I should say someone else can bind you and you can bind others, you just can not bind yourself. Hope this helps.
IT IS A CITY, By Flaiel (2/9/2001)

I'm now indifferent to the dragons and it is a city complete with vendors and a bank. I still cant bind myself here but I've not tried having someone else bind me. Some very facinating quests are found here and it is a fun zone to exlore when you are not KoS.
HAVE SOMEONE ELSE BIND YOU, By Aramaya (2/6/2001)

It is true that you can not bind yourself in Skyshrine, but you can bind others and be bound. Word to the wise though, binding at the zone is a risky thing since you will invariably have the sentries pulled on you at the worst possible time.
NOT ABLE TO BIND THERE, By Rinrieth (1/28/2001)

Well, I was testing my faction and decided to bind for safety sake at zone... it said "You can't seem to get an affinity to this area, try a city"

any word on removing the hybrid penaltys on release, we have been waiting 3 years ffs, along with spells that were available a few short months after release. This really isint a classic server anymore so was hoping some of these minor things could be fixed.
