After some investigation just looks like a little data input error.

Basically the people that had the items with slots + gems from before they will still be there and are just hidden from the tooltip.

All the items that were affected that have dropped since the patch won't have any sockets.

Should be patched soon.

Odd I was logged in for all this time but as soon as I disconnected it seems to fall over on login. We'll have a look into it.

Basically, you are going to have to wait. The server side of the game is probably having technical difficulties probably because it's running windows server. 

Windows hahahahahaha

Fixed the bug where group messages didn't go into the general chat like intended. The whisper behavior is intentional.

Sometime your game simply won't load, there is a variety of possible causes for this and I'm just going to outline them in one post.

Eldevin requires Java 7 you can download it here: http://www.java.com/en/download/

• Dual-Core Processor Processor
• 1024 Mb RAM
• 50 Mb HardDisk Space
• Java JRE (Minimum version 7).

Installing Java:

Before installing Java 7 make sure all old versions of Java are uninstalled.

If you are using a 32 bit browser you will need to install 32 bit Java, however if you have a 64 bit browser you will need to install 64 bit Java. It is possible to install both.

To make sure Java is installed and functioning correctly: http://www.java.com/...ad/testjava.jsp

Opening the Java console: http://www.java.com/...javaconsole.xml

Q: I have managed to log in before, but realm X does not load for me and I am stuck

A: Try to clear your Java cache by following this guide: http://www.java.com/...lugin_cache.xml. If it's still not loading after you clear your cache, please submit a bug report as sometimes the content delivery network has been know to serve invalid files from time to time.

Q: The Java plugin doesn't load and when I visit http://www.java.com/...ad/testjava.jsp it fails

A: There is a number of reasons this could fail and it's either your Java installation or an aggressive anti virus solution that is stopping the Java plugin from running. Please make sure Java is installed correctly and no older versions of Java are present. Make sure you have the correct version of Java installed, i.e.: 32 bit/64 bit. Some users have also experienced problems with antivirus solutions (i.e.: Norton, Kaspersky etc.) disabling Java.

Q: After playing for a while I get a white screen

A: Usually this means Java has crashed because it's run out of memory. If possible provide us a ticket with your Java console log. If this happens frequently you can try safe mode which uses less memory: https://www.eldevin....y?safemode=true

Q: I can reach the login screen but cannot connect to the server

A: If the server is running normally and we are not performing maintenance then it might be that your firewall/router/internet service provider is blocking port 7777/7778 which Eldevin requires to connect to the server.

Q: My game is stuck saying executing core/loading core

A: Please open a bug report with a copy of your Java console log, you can follow this guide to showing the console: http://www.java.com/...javaconsole.xml

Q: My browser says Java is disabled

A: Make sure Java is enabled in the Java control panel and the plugin is enabled in your browser.

Q: When I press play it keeps telling me my email is not validated

A: It might take a few minutes for the email to arrive. Make sure to check your spam folder for the email. If you have never received an email at all, please file a support ticket: https://www.huntedcow.com/support

Q: The game does not work on Mac/Linux

A: Make sure you have Java 7 installed. If you are using the openJDK try Oracle's JDK and vice versa.

The ultimate goal for the chat system is to have fully custom chat areas so you can decide what you want to show and what you don't want to show. Because ultimately a lot of it is based on people's individual preference.

Saying that I don't think we'll have time to implement this very soon, mainly because it is a would-like feature and not critical unlike the gem and pvp systems we are currently working on. Thanks for your input though.

Hi all,

I'd like to create this thread as something of a place where we can collect information about certain spells/skills that are broken/unused or too weak/too strong.

We will consider the suggestions, but we may of course disagree. Balancing is a tricky job after all and we have to be cautious with certain changes.

Maybe the best thing would be to list at most 3 talents/spells you think require changes and we can slowly but surely prioritize them.

Constructive feedback would be the best such as: "I never use fireball because it is too weak perhaps an extra 10% damage would mean I would use it more."

Thanks, I will make sure it saves the locked state.

In the next update you will be able to shift + click an item and it should bring up the split window if possible. Ctrl + click will attempt to use the item to it's best of it's ability. That might be selling it, equipping it, drinking a potion etc.

This will be fixed in the next build no problem, already have the fix.

It's unlikely we'll implement hunger and thirst. We actually used to have a mechanic called stamina which your abilities used and if you ran low you would walk slowly. You had to rest by sitting down. It was a royal pain to any new players, especially people that have never played any MMO before.

Hi all,

I've noticed some feedback about some people getting stuck in places and wonder how many of you have experienced bits where you either got stuck or struggled.

Examples from the top of my head:

• People getting stuck at the basic magic tutorial, learning spells
• People struggle to find shops/repair/selling
• Dragging and dropping (have improved this based on feedback for phase 2 of the beta)

Here's some of the things I would like to know more about from the testers:

• What was hard to pick up when you first started playing, why was it hard and do you have any suggestions to improve this
• Did you get stuck anywhere?
• How was the tutorial (void realm) for you?
• What are your opinions on the "extended" tutorial, i.e.: Othalo and the basic quests (Basic Melee, Basic Archery, Basic Magic)
• How are you finding the current tutorial tooltips, are they clear enough?

Things we are not able to do much about currently:

• Viewing angle, the game was never designed to support first person view and we are unlikely to implement it or give you more camera control until we implement hardware acceleration (Graphics Card).
• Right click menus, the game was implemented from the ground up to use them. We can potentially let you use a modifier + left click to execute the default options (i.e.: Drink/Eat/Use/Equip/Sell).

Please keep feature suggestions to a minimum, rather focus on problems related to usability.

If possible state how much experience you have with similar games/other Massive Multiplayer Games.

• Close your browser first
• Go to the control panel and open the Java Control Panel
• In the section that talks about Temporary Internet Files click on Settings
• In the next window delete your temporary java files

Ok maybe the quest is bugged out we'll have a look at it.
