Well then in that case im going to use the neriak portals

And I'm going to tell all the jewelers I know to start making the ring that you can resell to a merchant for more than it costs to make it. Among other thing... since they have after all, been reported

How is that an exploit. Ever been to Jarred? You think the gold and jewels in the rings cost as much as they charge? :P

Quit spreading lies Pen OY, we all know that Tantalar is a totally pristine player that consistently thinks of others to the exclusion of himself. This is all a conspiracy brought on by the evil GM-Controlled empire of Inglourious Basterds infantry, engineered to set in motion the events that will lead to the destruction of the server they spent the last year creating! The martyrdom of Tantalar is but the first of the seven foretold signs of The Prophecy Of Kiola. Next, Inglourious Basterds will break into fear within a couple days of it's re-opening, which will be proof that they are blessed by the favoritism of the GM's and obviously can do stuff that nobody else can do, ever. It's all so logical, I don't know how you people don't see it..

If anything is funny in this thread its how IB is just piling the entire bulk of this bullshit onto Tantalar. Like he wrote the quest then abused to to level 10 characters from 1 to 50 in 3 minutes.

Some facts:

-Tantalar used it for 2 levels? i think? wow.
-It was reported (i dont know since I was taking a break) that literally dozens of people were standing at the NPC to turn them in over the weeks prior to the incident coming to light.

For some reason those 2 things equate to TANTALAR: TUMPY TONIC MASTERMIND! What this really is, sadly, is IB's opportunity to discredit a rival GM, aka not one of their pet guild GM's meanwhile exonerating themselves since this is the one exploit out of 200 or so that they aren't actually guilty of abusing.

Also an FYI: you might not want to have Reiker try to talk shit on your behalf in the name of equity and fairness when he was already banned for using macroquest, admitted later that he used it, and theres about a 97.9% chance he has it running right now.

FYI #2: Don't have Penoy argue for or against anything at any time with anyone since he is missing numerous chromosomes.

Cuz they died on your mom's face last night?

Funny, I wondered why some NPC kept saying "Here's your tumpy tonic, don't drink it too fast" or some such thing the other day when I was running around the dwarf city.

All the rest of the drama is amusing and all, but to me the real mystery has been solved. For what it's worth this quest is obviously still being done in mass quantities (as of Saturday night, at least). I must have seen that chat message twenty times just running past to the bank.

So meanwhile, enchanters are charming FGs and planar mobs for minutes at a time. Enchanters were whirling 12 seconds all the time every time that it landed, mages were soloing content that full groups of melee couldnt dream of touching, and melee were absolutely wothless... unable to take damage, deal damage, get aggro, or hold aggro... but that's how they wanted it to be, so thats how it is. So personally, if you are going to have classic charm in the game, then you should have classic Tumpy Tonic int he game - its only fair.

This owns so hard.

Since my post all I have seen is whining and complaining and zero fact to back up any argument. All you guys are saying is what you think I should have done. If that's how it was in classic minus the kiola nut stacking, are you saying you wouldn't want the quest in the server? Well that's your opinion isn't it?

I don't think anyone wants it removed completely, just the exploitable bit. The quest did serve a purpose back then it just wasn't meant to max your level so quickly. If you want to keep doing it without stackable kiola nuts, then go for it, if you think it's worth the extra time it's going to take.

At then end of the day, though, this is Rogeans sandbox and he has the right to decide who plays in it and who does not and to make the rules that make that determination. I don't care anything about corrupt GMs. We had corrupt GMs on the Zek servers on live. We dealt with it. If the devs on this server want to have their family and friends on and give them special favors, that is their right. They pay the bills, they write the code, they make the server available for us to play on for free. Nobody has the right to attack them for not getting their way here. The jerk who is doing the DDOS attacks needs to learn that, too, assuming you and he are not one and the same. Neither he nor you speak for the rest of us. A lot of us would rather see the server go down for good than for spoiled little babies like you to get whatever you want because you threaten them. If you don't like how things are here then play somewhere else or put up your own server. Then you'll see just how much time and money you have to put into it to keep it running. Leave the rest of us out of your personal war against the devs. We had nothing to do with it.

Actually, it's my sandbox. Rogean, as server admin, does a great job at making sure the server is up and running its best. He is also a GM and can decide if you play here or not, with full authority.

Before and/or if he gets any flak because of false information, he had no part in writing the rules or the Tumpy Tonic quest. He is trying to help clean up the mess associated with it, though.

Expect to hear more about the Tumpy Tonics soon and remember that particular bans or punishments will not be publicly discussed. If you have a grievance, take it to the petitions forum.

cmon!!! Don't play dumb, if someone only had to do this quest to get 1-50 in 1 full day thats just plain stupid. You have to be a retard to think the quest wasn't bugged, and its just a cop out if you say its only for faction. Its just funny that Tantalar was doing it. I saw him level at least 3 times in his 40s hahah.

Personally I'd like to see all the characters who abused the Trumpy Tonic quest revert back to their original level before they started exploiting it. They can keep all their equipment and skills they have earned at level 50 but everyone should have to go through the process of leveling up a true level 50.

You guy are so fucken boring i would need to bring old skool shit back up

This quest i guess still pausiable for soloing, but with all the plvling services out there. This would point towards more of a exp + faction gaining. Here a thought. If you are a caster, make a corpse in city where you hand in the quest, then goto OOT and bound yourself. Once thats done, would need a cleric/pally friend to rez up corpse once you have bought your coco nutz.

Wondering tho, did they only nerf the stackable nuts or xp gain from the quest as well. I recall in live people still did this to hell even with non stackable nuts.
