I've not seen the the orn on serpent's Hold for months now, and the stang hasnt been there for almost a year now. The spawns should be fixed.

It was like that the last time I checked as well, I'm not blind u know :)

And I'm not saying I dislike what we have now, it's very useful and I appriciate that BB are willing to give something back to those who have donated since he doesn't have to give anything if he didn't want to. I for one would donate anyway. (And u didn't say that I did either I'm just explaining my point if view :) )

Why I think it's unfair to give things that give an advantage against other players: Take a full spellbook for example. A item like that might be hard or even impossible for a player who hasn't donated to get a hold of. Thus giving donaters an unfair advantage since they would have access to spells that a non-donater couldn't. On the other hand all the places that u can access thru donaters Isle can be reached without donating. Meaning that it's just more convinient but not unfair. But I guess if u see it like u suggested then I guess u could say I have a little double standard since u could see it as an unfair advantage.

I wouldn't be upset if BB for what ever reason it may be would decide to remove all the "extra" things donaters have, since I would have and will donate even if I don't get anyting in return. but I hope he never change his mind since I think it's so damn convinient :)

Oh and I wasn't aware that orns could only be found on donaters Isle, I've had access there for a few weeks after I returned so a couple of month and I haven't actually seen one yet. But I guess as soon as one spawn it get's tamed, shrunked and put in someone bankbox for later use :)

oh well sorry for the long post I just wanted to explain my reasoning

Heheheh, no the orn used to spawn on a 30 min - 1 hour cycle immediately after taming one. It was tricky since those terathons pack a punch, Stealth was a great asset for the tamer.

But over the last 2 months, I have not seen 1 orn there, so I believe th orn spawn is broke or blocked in some way.

Selling in game items for RL money is retarded IMO. That's not donating, that's buying the game and not what I want to see on obsidian. What prevents someone with a lot of money buying an asston of regs or whatever?

aye.. umm.. thanks for bringing the idea around but honestly yea.. paying money for anything is just silly... i mean yea.. i guess it would bring money their way.. but if obsidian did something like this.. i would call them sell outs and quit playing it... i dont mean that in a bad way. im just saying.. what you are talking about is what will take away from obsidian what makes it truly beautiful... the reason obsidian is not like the other shards out there is the reason it is the only one worth playing in my opinion...

if i had anything to suggest.... about ppl paying money on something.. id say all u who havn't donated donate.. to show your support.... and as a side note to this i would suggest setting up a method of donating that wont require 3 months to get your status.. so ppl dont feel like their donation was not apreciated... umm.. like a once a week.. all donated all in type thing.. why cant the donater option on the site require you username for the forums and the game.. this way u will take out the email step to the addition... this way.. u will only have a list.. to add and nothing to confirm.. no emails to send...

bottom line.. something like this... buying regs with money... or whatever else.. will only currupt the shard.. and be its downfall......

oh and btw.. if i had one suggestion to make about the shard it would be to not make any further suggestions till all the buggy stuff was fixed and everything was peachy ...(ex. id much rather see something like armslore telling durabillity of a wep or ar insted of attack or ar - like 67/75).. i think that new things being brought around all the time is the reason so much gets left behind.. lots of ideas, to little time... lets try to stick with the basics first..
