A MILLION THANK YOU'S to everyone involved with the new update to show the room ID Numbers!
HUGE thanks to those behind the storyline and side-quest at EG this year. It's been hard for me to feel involved in any RP in the past because of scheduling (time zones being what they are ) but this has been amazing and I am loving that Roh can play her part. Thank you! ❤️
Big thank you to Kaonashi for digging all the way down and probably finding a golem over my charm contraption "issue". I appreciate you!
And thanks to Rosemunde for putting up with me on this situation as well! I appreciate you!
Rosemunde is great!
AMAZING Kudos to the person behind Jehckle -- I truly ran in to the room just looking to get a raffle, I am the last person picked after what I think is HOURS AND HOURS that theyve been working -- I am halfway ready with a design on a ring, and they come back over the top with a truly stunning amazing show desc that was not at all expected!!!!
There aren't enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation for @wraith hazel who tracked down and very kindly replaced some items for me today - items I lost due to my own stupidity.
Thank you also to @untold sparrow and @fluid gyro who offered to lend me replacements should I have needed them for the costume contest. Much love ❤️
You're very welcome! I'm glad it had a positive outcome.
Many thanks to Xeraphina for being super awesome today while I was flustered and stressed. ❤️
Thanks to @boreal shore for another fun necropolis! So worth staying up so late I almost got eaten by a 🐻
Thank You So Much Spookia!!!
She has been an absolute trooper, and I appreciate your patience, diligence, and creativity so very much.
I'm so excited! 💝
A big thank you to Jokstyr as well for being patient and kind. It means so much! Thank you!
A huge thank you to Indres for an alteration that was even more amazing than I expected and left my jaw on the floor. I was so surprised I forgot to say thank you in the moment. Sorry about that! 😅 
Indres is amazing for that! And so is Igges. Lots of incredible GM talent around, but they always come through, and always so quick with a design. 🤩
I will become less quick with designs as the week wears on. 😆
And the sleep deprivation sets in.
By Wednesday if you ask for a design, you'll probably get "a creatively designed gown of some dark and edgy color"
Hey, that's right in Lylia's wheelhouse.
what's sleep, preciouses?
Shout out to Jehckle.
When rune tattoos came out, I chose an OTS tattoo just to stick spells on it. I've hated the look of it ever since. I had a general theme of an idea for a replacement tattoo. Jehckle came up with something beautiful fitting what I had envisioned.
Thanks to those who waited patiently and respectfully while she was allowed to work her magic today.
Thank you Tselise for adding all the spoooooooders! and unlocks. 🕷️
Thanks to all the GMs who have been super psyched and into locus alterations 😎
Kudos to some of the really off the beaten path offerings this EG!
another thank you for Tselise making all the daubers something special! I adore mine and you really knocked it out of the park. Also, huge kudos to the group I was with, even though it was the WORST RNG for ghoul I've ever seen, you guys managed to keep me laughing throughout.
A big thanks for having the Culinary Challenge team captains chosen by raffle.... and to my team's captain for picking me for her team... and my wonderful teammates who gave me an amazing 24 hours of creative madness... and the judges who had the hard task of watching all the presentations... and everyone who made last night's contest worth missing GHOUL and merchants for.
That's an experience I'm never going to forget, and I have an amazing tea set to help remind me of it forever.

Thank you to Jokstyr for helping me bringan understated undansormr underscored by an undulating umber-undertoned understructure into the world
I want to thank the community writ large for coming together for a crowdfunding exercise to get a near and dear to many of us player a teadragon, which they had been wanting since their inception. Thank you for refreshing mine and Helnora's faith in our (GemStone's) power to make wonderful things happen! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ A huge thank you goes out to @wary raven for making them in the first place.
Someone bought me a teadragon! Wow!
(Kidding! So happy to see things like that come together for good folks!)
You HAVE a teadragon already. 😛
temudragon*
wanna send out a thank you to whoever runs Rodnir(its slipping my memory), made one of my favorite items in EG way more awesome!
Ok Kudos so far!
Thandiwe - for the games you've been playing, I know they're so much work and buggy cases are buggy, but you've brought some fun RP to EG and I appreciate getting to watch all of it.
Haliste - For listening to feedback about the Undergrowth and incorporating it in realtime. It's a wonderful, whimsical little world of fun and I can't wait to spend more time in there.
Elysani and Casil - You're machines, glorious barbie-fueled-praise-the-sun-wondermakers. Thank you!
Xynwen - Teadragons and working with us to make them our own. So much appreciation!
Just had a lovely encounter with Sonnora, who had the grace and patience to save me from myself. Went above and beyond to provide options and information. Also thanks in general for these pity sessions for those of us who are apparently spinner-averse!
I would personally like to thank @cobalt yarrow for his very kind gesture. I am still in shock and will hopefully do it justice ❤️
Rohese out here ruining Alastir's bad boy image. 😆
Big thanks to Skeletta for helping me with my first scrimshaw knife custom and to all the lovely staff working today especially ❤️ I didn't have time to EG most of this week and am very grateful for the low-service-count spin tradition
Someone has to try!
HUGE kudos, thanks and congratulations to @junior sandal for making the rogue service happen. In 2024!
It seems to be a day of thanks from me! First, to the extremely kind person who surprised me with an ocarina today - I'm still in shock - and secondly to @warped bluff for fixing my basket/platter so that I can now properly admire all the beautiful work of our Culinary Couture Challenge team.
Thanks as always to all the GMs who work so hard to make merchant week awesome!
Seconded! It was great.
Thank you all so much!
thirded! had so much great stuff made, thank you all so much!
Massive thanks to ALL the GMs involved with Merchant Week in some way, from doing the actual merchanting sessions to being background QC to covering general ASSISTS.
Special shout-out to @narrow quest for the Culinary challenges and to my teammates creating the tea set for the experience of a lifetime. I made a comparison to Bardfest, and that rush of "OMG I have to do Big Creativity under Big Time Crunch" that produced something so beautiful I want to look at it constantly... That was something I didn't know I'd been missing until I had it. And I loved being on the judging side for the Diner's Boards - the results from 12 hours (or less!) were truly amazing and shows that there are some super creative brains out there.
(Plus, now I know of more storytellers hiding in plain sight out there. And can gently hound you to be in the Carnivale Concert next summer.)
Finally, my Merchant Week experience would have been VERY DIFFERENT without our BlobGlomp. There's no way I can hope to tag everyone who was part of it at some time, but I'm sure you all know who you are. Having people to chat with while waiting in line, and who were there to lift spirits when a spinner passed you over AGAIN and then cheer for you when the spinner remembered you do exist, and toss around ideas... and to just plain get silly with when your brain started going to mush (and learning some very odd things about fellow players - You know who you are, Hot Soda Man). I've been fortunate enough to be folded into the Blob many times over in the past, but this past week reached a wonderful new level.

I’d almost managed to forget about Hot Soda. 😭😭😭
I shall forever think of it when I see him
As I'm foraging up things ponies may like to eat... I wanna comment on this because it's like.. amazing and I think you all need to know how awesome it is. Every area in Naidem has a different variety of ||coneflower||. All of them are gorgeous.. All of them are haunted. But I've gone into many different areas and each one has a different variety, different colors. There's even different colors/varieties spread throughout the same area. It's kinda intricate and someone obviously worked hard coding it. As a fellow programmer.. I see you. Good job you.. whoever you are.
I don't know that I have time to come up with a lot of nice fancy well-worded expressions but the fact that I'm posting is hopefully testament enough.
Ebons is always my favorite event (and Halloween my favorite holiday)
But staff has outdone itself this year!
With all the lores and storylines, major and smaller (ponies!)
The cooking contest and prizes were wonderful surprises!
Thanks to @scenic meteor for bringing me into that with @lofty needle @forest cliff and @ripe ginkgo we made a fantastic team!
To the staff: I absolutely love the cottagecore vibe of the Witch's Hut area! The luminary festival is also fantastic!
thanks for keep your imaginations flowing for us!
Thanks to all the other players for just being you, being part of the teamwork storylines is a great inclusion, and all the dauber puns...

Ohh! Can't forget the Rumplesnoots Adventuring Company is always a hilarious time! 🐞
Thank you to everyone who kept the trove information so well updated on the wiki. That was incredibly helpful, @narrow quest @quiet turtle @wide radish. And thank you once again to @vocal geyser, @exotic jackal, and the whole TC team for keeping us all updated on another year of EG madness. 🖤 Could not do it without you.
Thanks @boreal shore for putting together Sonreeva. This was my first time doing anything quest like in Gemstone and it was a blast to grind my face against it trying to figure it all out. @hybrid ocean for helping me at one point. Verb traps are hard when you don't know all the verbs yet.
Our events GMs are insane monsters. Thank you all for having stuff already scheduled for November, in addition to Festival of the Fallen.
To @junior sandal
The rogue community thanks you and the others involved in the project. And I'll give a bit of love to Naijin who ain't here anymore but also deserve props for the idea.
Much love.
Three cheers for Aergo!!!!!!
Shout out to the multiple GMs that have sent me reports about my referral over the last couple of days. It really helps a lot to know things are still moving forward.
Big thanks to whoever's working Sadie - I did NOT expect my scroll to get worked on so quickly!
My lanterns will be a great little touch for the upcoming Ayd Bre'Cyr Casroh shindig 🥳 
Kudos to @Haliste for responsiveness and rapidity with which my custom flare cert went through brainstorming, proposal, and QA. I know delayed services can take a while. This one seemed quick and easy. Thanks!
Haliste did mine too. It was a breeze and they were so cool to work with!
Shoutout to Kaonashi. He knows what he did.
Just wanted to toss out a kudos to Elysani for the awesome work she did for my custom fire candy! and another thank you for the alteration work that was done this EG. Indres and Igges were awesome! I haven't had an alteration done in years and after seeing the great work they did I got addicted to changing up things and trying to match the theme that was done. Thanks again to all the GMs that made this a great EG! You guys always do great work!
Kudos to Lydil for joining the dark side.
To @vale karma for not only fixing the artwork script, but fixing it better than it was 💜 Thank you again!
Greetings, Timbalt! This is to notify you that your delayed service for Custom Cman-Tackle has been completed! Enjoy!```
big thanks to @final nacelle (sorry if it pings you <3) for the custom tackle help/work, not sure it couldve went any smoother!
(Pings are 100% allowed here because it's kudos and you WANT the person receiving it to see it)
Thanks to @daring forge (and Colourful) for stopping by WL again for citizenship services.
Bwaaak!
@steady sphinx for helping this end user navigate the colorful land of animalistic spirits.
@wary raven Thank you thank you thank you for my food! Finally got my grandma's noodle kugel, latkes, my favorite kind of sushi, and a pastry I used to get from a local bakery that didn't survive the pandemic. Means a lot to me.
❤️ I got very hungry making most of that
I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm very very not.
I think that was the response with last year's bunch, too.
So....um...Blossoming Skies was fun today. Thanks! 🐉
Kudos to @narrow quest for never giving up on my bugs
Kudos to everyone that brought FoF to life, thank you for putting it all together. Thanks to the merchants that popped in for some work, those who participated in the tournament, those who came to cheer the combatants and congrats to our champions!
Ditto on the Kudos for Festival of the Fallen! 🎉
These are my favorite types of events! I really love the cozy size of the festival and the interactions with NPCs.
Cheering our friends from the bleachers reminded me that next year is the 3rd year since we've had a Palestra Trial!
I sure look forward to that event. 😊
Thank you to staff who put together last weekend's cultural mini fun fest!
Kudus fer whomeber makes it so dat we kin pay da surname monster mulitple years ahead o' time! Double kudus fer whoms dat makes MY family name MINE, permanint-wise! 
(waddnt shore where to puttit...so... passit on eh?)
For all the GMs and players ive interacted with in the last 12 months - it's been almost a year I've been back.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that I get to spend my creative energy contributing to GS and for all the passionate players who make it worthwhile.
Thanks for being the best dragon brother ever! I'm thankful to have met you.
Thank you to everyone that plays with me. Special shoutout to my new friend Dumple, with, for my money, the best beard related alteration I've seen.
Kudus to Ramalamadingdong fer da new rest stop!
Kudos to Marstreforn for the great work on twisted items last week
Big thanks to @willow gull for the super swift fix! I promise I will not go so deep in my lockers that the vathors get released.
@runic vapor - A legend. Made me some incredible sheaths and even saved my bacon when I accidentally pawned one of them.
any time! I've had my fair share of accidents - glad to help!
Kudos to @spice jewel for another amazing round of Airisu shoes!
Well worth the wait!
@boreal shore I think the Content Creator Program is one of the coolest things ever. Thank you for bringing the positivity! 🫶
what happens when you give control to the merchant? MAGIC
a polychromatic vaalorn haubergeon.
Fine links of vaalorn have been woven together to create the armor. The exact hue of the metal changes from moment to moment as light moves across it, reflecting varying colors of the entire spectrum depending on the angle of view. The supple chain weave gives way to solid collar upon which musical notes have been inlaid with vaalin. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.```
thanks to whoever runs Gizwizit for the brain power i dont have ❤️
Thank you to Xynwen, to every GM who voted on the CHE ornaments for the annual Solstice tree-trimming event, and to all the people who contributed such beautiful designs. I love seeing people's creativity on display, and there were such beautiful designs, I don't know how the judges could choose between them!
Thanks for the attention to detail with ~~OSA ~~krolvin deaths.
The savage krolvin executioner slams to the floor, dead as a salmon bear snack.
The fierce krolvin assassin flattens out on the ground, dead as a salted flounder.
The ornaments were amazing. I picked up quite a few. Loved them. Kudos to all the CHE! Great job on the designs.
Found this today
You tap a leather satchel, which is in your left hand.
In the leather satchel:
Wands [5]: a faewood-bound rowan rod (Smite 40 charges persists), a chromatic rowan rod (Chromatic Circle 40 charges persists), a twisted rowan rod (Mana Disruption 40 charges persists), a plasma-burnt rowan rod (Templar's Verdict 40 charges persists), a verdant rowan rod (Wild Entropy 40 charges persists)
Total items: 5
Nice little waggler care package thanks for whomever threw it in the feeder!
I sent your post to the person who did in case they don't want me calling them out. 😛 But we also have: https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1180239345446297640 where you can share your nifty box founds!
Oooh, didn't see this go out, yay! Glad it was found and being enjoyed! 😄
Kudos to Cheeri and all the Holiday elves this time of year! The spirit of giving is contagious and everyone I've talked to has been effected by it in all the little things all of you guys do. I kept hearing about people that are actively hiding presents, giving away thrakmas gems, setting up impromptu parties/dinners with giftbags, opening up their darkboxes with presents inside. I love how giving snowballs.. And honestly it's these little things, these tiny moments that make Elanthia feel almost real and I treasure it. Watching someone find something they didn't expect and get excited about it.. watching someone go out of their way just to make someone else smile. It's these moments that I fall even more in love with this game. Happy holidays ❤️
Thank you to everyone who made Glacial Gala a smashing success! I could not have done it without you! Special thanks to Maylan (Order of the Swan) for the very fancy giftbaskets, Laeli (Spiraled Horn Consortium) for fancy mystery bags and catering, Eruheran, Jisandra (Cairnfang Manor), Desorceri and Avrey who all donated their time and energy for the raffles of 200k player resources! Can't forget Town Crier for use of their space, too! Hope to see you all for the 3rd annual NEXT YEAR! (http://glacialgala.com)
Kudos to all the GMs that have worked on the Holidays lore over the past year. Especially whoever came up with Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta (Family Gathering Week) and the story quilts.... and Eyra Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim (Kill The Kiramon!)

Thank you! Both of those were mine with some much needed aid from @wary raven on the story quilt portion (especially the words, because language is not my strong suit).
A kudos to Xeraphina for helping fix a pocketwatch that refused to stay altered and an IACL that really wanted to be a tabard. The help and research was greatly appreciated.
5 out of 5 stars for Azidaer for being awesome.
Thank you to the attendees of the Vespertine Ball and to Order of the Shadow for co-hosting it! It was a good time, and I'm so happy to have seen some familiar and well-loved faces there. ❤️
Azidaer is really good at fixing armor late at night, especially on Friday nights. This has been tested multiple times. 
And the beat goes on and on.
The Pirate Captain shouts, "Die, ya flap-dragon!"
You deeply exclaim, "You said my favorite word!"
Kudos to Kaonashi for working on my prize from the CHE ornament contest! I very much appreciate his patience and troubleshooting to get the item completed!
Kudos to Marstreforn for fixing an IACL snafu (another one, I swear I am the worst). I appreciated you taking the time to help what was a really odd bug, even for me.
Kudos to GM Azidaer who fixed a censer for Minniemae yesterday, which had been broken since its purchase! I appreciated your help! 🙂 And also appreciated all the other GMs who had attempted to help me while we were AFK sick. Many thanks.
Kudos to all of our GMs, GHs, Mentors, Devs, PMs, etc etc and Chris in Billing (of course) for all your efforts in getting us all this far! Many many thanks!
Imma perty shore dat Chris inna Billin issa sebenty leben years old! C'mon...open dat cage already! 🥹
Chris In Billing is a timeless, priceless gem we need to hold onto and protect at all costs.
I screenshotted the last 3 messages and sent them to Chris in billing. Chris seemed pleased, but insisted they weren’t that old… yet.
A little shout-out to @crystal kite for taking the bait on a roleplay hook and carrying it forward. He has been a lot of fun to play with! I've enjoyed being the eco-terrorist to his drunken character persona.
Big thanks to @warped bluff for their speed, kindness, and patience ❤️
@craggy peak and @warped bluff and @brisk tiger and @steady salmon and @quiet turtle for pint size roleplaying opportunities — thanks for letting me participate and feeling like I had a place.
Shout outs to @warped bluff and @daring forge for helping with shenanigans!
Thanks to everyone involved in creating the new bridge over the Locksmehr river! I'd imagine that I'm not the only one who will be spending more time hunting in the area now!
Big, amazing kudos to @tribal narwhal for the best QoL update to SIGNATURE. You have made using them so much easier (and less embarrassing)
Also kudos to @warped bluff for helping me figure out how to break tea infusers then working to help solver the problem. I appreciate you taking the time and being so thorough!
Kudos to Indres for the lovely work and kindness. Thank you! 🥰
Thank you Azlynne, Igges and Fryzel for the GALDapalooza today! Ya'll are amazing 
It contains the Stalwart Resilience flare that provides masterfully damage padded protection.
Whoever updated bubble flares to show the padding amount in the loresong, much <3.
🍻 to you - this is a great QoL improvement
Big Kudos to GM Igges for rescuing my basketifier. I didn’t even notice it was gone. I was so distracted by the GALD. Thank you so much for being observant
I always check before we leave because a lot of people forget it at GALDapalooza. 🙂
Glad we got it back to you! 😄
I hope it still had moldy cupcakes on it!
It had all its contents. 😆
You aren't gald you got it back?
Very excited to see the merchant announcements channel! For any that missed the announcement about it:
https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1331041053309931591
PA has a legendary basket
Belated thank you for the changes to the discord structure. Whilst still a little cumbersome, it's considerably easier to navigate and I don't feel quite so overwhelmed.
preemptively sending out 
! the next few months have a lot on the docket and i wish you all the best of luck getting it done without losing your minds! 😁
Just want to send my appreciation to Wyrom for making a pun that i appreciate. the yew tubes (YouTube) for the new claims. Thanks, I found it humorous and lightened my day,
I just woke up and didn't get it until the second read. Ashamed of myself
Thank you, @tribal narwhal. You know what you did!
Kudos to whoever built Night at the Academy. It was fun, and the story was really cool! Thanks!
Also, its really cool that you can get quest access for Trick-or-Treat candy.
Thank you Tysong for helping the platinum players migrate their lich settings over to the prime instance. You and the other Elanthia Online contributors are always appreciated.
Every time there’s an issue with this game the staff makes it right. From a gift box for an unexpected crash, so today extending the 20% exp bump.
It’s nice that you all care so much. Thank you.
Much kudos to all the staff helping/helped with the plat migration. I and others appreciate all the effort and work put into it. So...thanks!
@boreal shore thank you for the discord reorganization — this is leaps and bounds more usable.
I just want to give a shoutout to Game Host Rosemunde - I put in an ASSIST because my gilded locus isn't working after the merge. Despite everything going on, she asnwered quickly and took the time to get all the information to pass on to a GM. it was a delightful interaction and I appreciate her help. Moreso, I appreciate the help from everyone from big boss Wyrom and all the GMs and GHs who have helped make this transition as painless as possible.
I ALSO had a wonderful interaction with the Game Host Rosemunde! she was very attentive and made sure all the information was correct about my feature issue and put in a referral to me and was very appreciative of my patience. A delight to work with. Thanks for the help with my migration Rosemunde!
Also thank you to Mariath who actuually fixed my features for me! I am grateful I am tall again. Now Treh isn't eye level with me anymore! @bronze sundial
A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who made plat so special for so long. Players and GMs alike, Prime is getting some class act role players and world class GMs. It was a good run, we had lots of fun, made and lost some great friends along the way lets hope we can find each other in the prime(al) soup. I loved you plat rest in peace.
Finally getting a chance to play with the Jeepers Creepers spyglass and wow! The paper versions of the birds I have found so far are amazing. So much work has gone into this system and I really appreciate it. Kudos to all concerned,
Just want to say thank you to GM Itzel for taking the time to address the issue with my locus this morning. I did what I needed to do to hopefully get it straightened out. Thank you again!
Whoever put the promotional email together, I want you to know, I think you did a really nice job!
It was attractive, easy to understand, and made things sound exciting that I didn't even know I was supposed to be excited about.
Well done! 💝
Our artist Josh Stover does the art, Tivvy, Thandiwe, and I typically write text, I do the formatting, and then we send it off to one of our newest software developers to fix it up for the sending process. We did have a mixup on one line (there is a line about the golems from a previous mailer that shouldn't be there). And it looks like Outlook isn't happy with the HTML. We'll figure that out.
Outlook is almost never happy with HTML. It is a thorn in the side of many a front-end developer...
Kudos to Casil for returning my stove and teaching me a solid lesson on re-registering all my things.
I almost kept it.
I would have cried. I went back in my logs and was like "how did you not go back for it. HOW DID YOU NOT GO BACK FOR IT"
Shout out to the lanky jester! He knows what he's done.
Kudos to @gilded trellis for helping me deep dive into a system window issue thing....he knows.
Wait... I was helping Dendum? Discord PM names lie to me! What have I done!!!! (this was sarcasm)
Several tacos an a big mug of whatever Vanah drinks to Vanah! Thanks again!
Absolute kudos to GM @shadow lark. solved my problem and was the most interesting automaton I ever encountered. Almost destroyed us both, but fortunately her auto-destruct button was actually just delivering email. ::whew::
Kudos to GM @rocky horizon their Animalistic Spirits work have been a masterpiece. Marvelous.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record @rocky horizon . The functionality of this script is AMAZING. Pray and clean, wow!
>whistle warl
Cocking your head to one side, you hold out your ghezyte warlance and whistle a set of three notes in a descending scale.
Threads of misty green light pulse over the surface of the ghezyte warlance in time to the notes, coalescing into the ethereal form of an antlered stag on the floor at your feet. Pawing at the ground with a hoof in agitation, an antlered ethereal stag shakes its head at you, giving an angry bellow. In a burst of misty green motes, it dissolves back into the ghezyte warlance.
Much love to the Kraken Fall Board of Tourism for spreading the love of the Folly with other citizens. Much love to the visitors who come by and partake. And much love to the folks behind the curtain who have added any of the fun things we are able to work and share.
Much love and Kudos to @elder sierra and @dense sun for offering divinations yesterday for everyone. I'm always so impressed by the thought and care these two players bring to every facet of their RP, and all the different ways they try to include and foster roleplay in others, and tonight was no exception.
I know it wasn't intentional, nor planned, but Fehala was able to help me open the door to an rp storyline for Riend I'd been struggling to figure out how to launch into and I'm so extremely grateful for you both. ❤️
When Fehala next hosts this event, I urge anyone and everyone to come and experience it. You'll be so happy you did.
Many thanks to Myerz, Noiya, and Nyxus for fixing me up virtually immediately after putting an assist in. You all are awesome. The response time was literally less than a minute. Above and beyond.
I've said it in other places, but I really want to give a big shout-out to the Events team and the mindset change that are having merchant and GM-led RP come to DR. I can't get to all of it, but just knowing it's THERE and people have more opportunity is a wonderful thing.
Thanks for a great mania. Well run, interesting items, good use of the button. Feel better.
Outstanding Mania, nice mix of high-end things with button goodies. Seconding the "feel better."
Agreed - I can't imagine that having gone any more smoothly. Well done to everyone involved.
Good job mania crew. Enjoyable event!
Thanks to Auchand for fixing warden arrows. He deserves an award for Coastal Cleanup Conservator!
I wanted to express my appreciation for the community of players. It is heartening to see that whenever a merchant is active, there appears to be a benefactor present, which shows the spirit of generosity within our community.
That is all ❤️
@ebon cove Found this guide by mistake and its use right now with the etched stone pull is fantastic, so thank you. https://gswiki.play.net/Bloodrune_Holder_Guide
It's nice to know it's being used and that you found it helpful!
Thanks to everyone for a great DR. I think the annex was a great addition and made things a lot easier on my end - I hope the same is true for GMs. Mania was awesome - here's to more of those. The merchant offerings were cool. I missed the RP event but I heard it was fun. Hats off all around 🙂
I want to take a moment and thank GM Kaonashi. Every time he's worked on a referral of mine he's been extremely thorough, thoughtful and sympathetic to the situation. Taking the time to answer questions and discuss one of my (many) strange and oftentimes ridiculous issues with other GMs to ensure I have a clear understanding of how to proceed, it means a lot and I'm very grateful! Thank you so much! ❤️
I love the new age descriptions!
Great work! 💝
I’m really enjoying the Iasha UAC gear I picked up from Duskruin! The ambient messages add a fun touch, making it even more immersive. Definitely a great addition to my setup! 🥊 🔥
Yeah, I'm digging these a lot.
Very long overdue kudos and thanks to everyone who continues to show up for the Library Lectures. I wouldn't be doing them after all this time if it wasn't for the regular support I get from so many people. I would also like to thank those who have very kindly agreed to speak at them too; none of it would be possible without you!
Thanks to all involved with the Gemstone quest stages, NPCs, and lore. It brought the magic back for me. 💎 🪄
I’m going to double down on Desorceri’s comment; but for the players involved in helping others get thru the assorted battles in a semi organized fashion! Major kudos to Leafiara, Kontii, Brute, Tranquia and even Desorceri (amongst others!)
Really enjoy seeing the quests like this bringing the population together.
Thank you for the sadie work today!
Two in one night! Thanks for the fix to my grimoire! I love this thing. It's like a pet to me.
Kudos to Tysong and Doug for wearing superhero capes and helping a lot of us connect the dots in #scripting. 
5/5 Wyrm-Slaying Stars!
Jaired the Wyrm Hunter EXCEEDED Expectations!
I recently hired asked Jaired nicely for assistance slaying the wyrm in the Hinterwilds, and I must say, the man is a PROFESSIONAL.
Communication: 5/5 - Jaired responded promptly to my initial message and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Even when I was dead.
Wyrm-Slaying Skills: 5/5 - This guy knows his stuff! Jaired took down the beast with ease, minimizing damage to our lives egos overall experience with the wyrm hunt.
Equipment: 5/5 - Truly impressive. I can't decide if I like Cat or the sweater more. Probably Cat, he is a sweet boy.
Overall Experience: 5/5 - Jaired is courteous, efficient, and gets the job done! If you have a wyrm problem, look no further!
Would I recommend Jaired to a friend? ABSOLUTELY!
Would I hire ask Jaired for a hard carry again? IN A HEARTBEAT!
(sorry JD but I thought you deserved an ebay-style review for last night's hunt, lol
)
now I feel the urge to sing the Jared's Jewelry theme song at him in solidarity
("It can only be JAIR-ED'S!")
His shop was the Jaired Galleria in plat so not too off brand
She went to Jaired 
Thank you all for the GALDapalooza tonight! (and a very big thank you to Azlynne for being patient when my computer decided to freeze up.)
❤️ It happens to us all! (or cats happen to us)
My internet went down a few months ago right when it was my turn to work with Igges. And one time before that, there was an incident in the neighborhood. We have some coooooool merchants. 
Want to shout out Kaonashi for being amazing! and knowing about the good weapons and how to fix them!
Kaonashi is pretty amazing.
GALDapalooza is such a neat event, I'm really appreciative of the GMs offering it. So thank you guys ❤️
Super super thanks to @shadow lark (responding GM and sylvan whisperer) and @fallow dawn (hard working, but in the background GM) for returning a sentimental to me treat pouch. I appreciate you both so much!
Another shout out to GM @fallow dawn and also to GM @fleet tiger who worked hard at saving the vast majority of my cooking system bag I accidently left on the ground and it was gone in the blink of an eye. It was one of the stupider situations I've gotten myself in lately.
Major props to all the baby GHs out there. You all have had to put up with lots of ASSISTs from me as of late.
I feel very lucky to have this much support and folks in the background looking out for me.
Just seeing this now. Seriously people, @dense sun & @elder sierra were incredible that night!
I wish everyone could have joined in on that transformative totemic reading. But if everyone did, we'd probably still be there. So, I'll just take it as just one of those magical and personal Gemstone moments I won't ever forget. ♥️
I know a lot of people have given their kudos for the Gemstones release, but I wanted to add mine. Thank you to all of the GMs involved. This is the most exciting in-game release I can remember! The system will keep us engaged for years to come.
Thank you @willow gull for fixing my bottle contraption tonight!
Bolt her next time she breaks it Lydil!
appreciate whoever runs Naelyne sticking around for a bit to see if i would wake back up, 4 sybil fights kept my attention alot longer then i thought! -Kayzo
Kudos to Elysani who came to my rescue 🙏 💛
You're welcome.
Probably brought up before, but @slim berry gets kudos for Owly's Super Useful Gemstone IV Alteration Template. I have used this thing truly so much. Super useful, as the title claims. More people should use it! https://www.sphericalowl.com/gs/alterations.html
I'm always really pleased to hear people have found that so helpful!
seconded. I used it twice this week alone.
I used it for my contest entry!
You know what's really great?
When you get scolded by a merchant for your show description being too long... and you're the one who wrote the character counter tool...
I'm terrible about actually using it. Heh.
I did too. It was very useful!
Now I know...and knowing is half the battle.
Kudos to @stark field . You are fun to RP with!
Character counter's usefull.. next up... a definitiff STYLE GUIDE! I gently nudged bout dis...but I dont think dey wanna commit to it. Secret words, bah... sounds like secret societies.
(Um... I gently'd as gently assa I know how...aint my fault Imma used to knockin stuff down!)
Whaaaa? Thank you so much. I’m humbled. ❤️ Absolutely love the community here.
(So clearly he didn’t read any poems that day!)
You're clearly doing something right because I spent far more hours in the game today than i intended! LOL!
I am working on a style guide on the GM side that will have a player version.
leben kudoos fer dat!
I finally finished the Gemstone quest tonight and kudos to all the designers, it was super fun and engaging from start to finish 10/10 would quest again
Most notable redacted items from the upcomin' Player Version Style Guide.

Dwi deserves a saucepan helmet! Make it cursed.
Much thanks to Ivry, Aergo, Itzel, Wyrom, Naionna, and everyone else on staff who had a hand in the merge process for us plat folks.
Didn't expect issues on my end, ending up having some, they got me fixed right up. I may give you all a hard time 😉 , but I appreciate all you do, so big thank you to the merge crew.
A big thanks to my fellow plat folks, for the help, entertainment, and off topic hijinks. Also a big thanks to the prime folks, who've been willing to embrace us plat folks. I look forward to rp'ing/harassing you all.
Tacos and booze all around!
🍻 🍻 🍻 🌮 🌮 🌮 🌮
Love the Isle of Ornath. Love Sleeping Drake Harbor. I'm building a house here once I figure out how to chisel stone out of room descriptions and I will not be stopped. It's really beautiful. 💗
May I suggest a tent
maaaaaybe
BIG KUDOS to the April 1 "Announcements" that have been firing off. These are some of the absolute best I've ever seen, and the creativity and running with some of the jokes we've made in chatter over the last year (maybe longer) is awesome.
They should be collected and posted on the Wiki somewhere. (Please someone else do this, I hate trying to figure out how to make a new Wiki page
)
Thank you to all the GMs behind Sadie, I appreciate all the work that goes into making sure things go as smoothly as possible! 
know what, this was a wonderful suggestion ❤️
or a loft! i hear ornath has stables
Thank you to @shadow lark for rescuing Roh from her invisible horse earlier. That was a doozy!
A belated thank you also to @warped bluff for making my puppet theatre a reality yesterday. An absolute delight to work with. 10/10 would recommend! 💙
@narrow quest and @modern smelt and everyone else who's working and has worked on the Bericsaba Market deserves massive hugs and stuff. The temptation to call in "sick" to work so I don't have to miss a minute is real.. but need the funds for all the upcoming RW fun.
I'm so glad the Market area will be open a few extra days so I can have more time to enjoy it!
I'm adding Sleeping Drake Harbor now that I've had more quiet time to explore. The level of detail is bananas and OMG THE FOOD. (If you haven't found the ||almond cookie|| in the ||Chronomage fancy hall|| you need to, I LOVE those cookies. Plus the ||spanikopita|| at ||the inn||.)
Here to thank @sour widget for making navigation around Bericsaba Market much easier. ❤️
Ok, so I'm already writing this before she's even finished because the end result is just not nearly as important as what led to it. I'm sitting with Colourful (@daring forge) working on a DTH item for an upcoming event and just how willing to listen and work with me on it, and just being generally so pleasant to chat with. She's amazing and deserves so very many kudos for being just great all around. ❤️
Kudos to the folks who made this happen.
Maybe people know about this (and those dramatic drapery cloaks are just too good at DR) or maybe it's a little known secret but I am having a lot of fun between the "Shears Leatherworks" and "And Sew It Goes" designing cloaks for my little gang. My sausage maker is getting a whole new wardrobe themed around food crafting. There's a whole assortment of options between and playing off each of the two shops. This is my second visit to this fest so I am starting to figure things out.
Example:
You are now the proud owner of a burnt leather cloak embossed with linked sausages
Kudos to everyone that brought this weekends festival to life! From GM’s to contestants and visitors alike, the experience was a great one that I hope we get to enjoy again. Thank you for making the entries available for purchase and for the merchants that popped in throughout the festival. Congrats to the winners! 💛🎉🍻
I wanted to send a special thankyou to Fenkleth for the wonderful, and patient, experience with my first ever visit to a merchant. Not only was my new coat just what I wanted but she even perfected the description and made it much more elegant with fewer words. I am very grateful and FAR less intimidated by events now.
A big thank you to Siduine.
I suspect she is made of magic, because her tattoo art is enchanting.
Thank you so much for your patience, artistic eye, and willingness to work with our poorly fleshed out designs. ✨
Watching her work, I'm almost disappointed I didn't get spun. Her designs are beautiful!
poorly fleshed out
Yeouch! 😉
Kudos the battery manufacturer that fuels the GMs. 🔋 Thandiwe has been on a tear.
Kudos to everyone that continues to choose to spend their time here in Elanthia. When we lose one it is sad but also heart warming to hear the stories of connection and the impact left on those that remain.
Kudos to @boreal shore for saving my SK tattoo that ... fell off due to a critical INVOKE failure of the rune tattoos it also has. Heart skipped a few beats. Thanks! 💚
Lots of big kudos to @tribal narwhal for the Baker's Rack! The item itself as whole is amazing! Also, listening to the customers, implementing some immediate changes, as well as speedily squishing the bugs trying to raid the pantry! Thank you!
Thanks Thandiwe and Xeraphina for helping me unbork my loft! 💜
as usual when i mess something up
Also thanks to another player for messing up in the same way in front of me so I knew what happened to you 😂
Kudos to the amazing @narrow quest for the weeks (months?) lovingly making and patiently improving a wonderful spirit servant. 💗
I'm not going to try to list them all, but everyone who came to the Racetrack tonight to show it off and alter Rolton Racers and Mount Accessories... and everyone who was there for the tour and the fun of the alters and the racing (even if I didn't watch this time)... It was a great time!
I am going to give special thanks to @narrow quest for the amazing work she did on my sheep's leash when I had NO IDEA prepared at all. It's not what I would have designed, and it's still just right for my little Sheep.
I want to give a big Kudos to the wiki team and others involved, in particular @fleet tiger , for the new guides being uploaded to the wiki. I love that we are seeing more official guide documentation on the wiki.
Hi, they're not new... they're actually very old! I'm actually doing a sweep right now of older items that never made it to the wiki in their "full" capacity, but that's also why the official documentation header was updated to state that it's a guide that was published on the officials and may be (read: likely is) out of date with the current state of the game. Consider this just... records keeping.
Just wanted to send a thank you to @white totem for the improvements to the Tomeward Bound spellbooks that improved their functionality with Scroll Infusion and gave them better synergy for sorcerers. You're wonderful for being so responsive to the requests people had. ❤️
A big thank you to @fading eagle for answering my ASSIST within like... 2 minutes. She was very patient and took the time to write up a referral (I bought scholar cards instead of markers and was looking for an exchange). She even took the time to chat a little about my integration to prime from plat (having remembered she assisted me shortly after the first plat merger). Big kudos to @fading eagle! It's people like that which make this game great and I appreciate her time and effort!
Thank you to @sharp crystal, who continues to be an amazing resource for anything under the sun. She was able to find the original .midi files for the Gemstone 3 Wizard FE theme song for the little project I gave myself of importing it into Wrayth. I scoured the internet and couldn't find these anywhere, but she had them to me in less than a day! Thank you!!!
Big thank you to JOONIPER. I placed a valuable item in a cloak on the pawnshop floor and it was returned. Saved me from a heart attack. 💜 💜 💜
When darkness crept upon my knitting bowl and doom seemed nigh, it was thou, brave K-Man @warped bluff , who rose with valor unmatched! With wit sharp as a dragon's fang and timing blessed by the gods, thou didst smite chaos and restore peace to my knitting kingdom.
May thy mug never run dry, and may songs be sung of thy heroic deeds for ages to come!
After getting a good enhancive crown altered last night, I promptly deposited it into the Gardenia Commons basket instead of the one on my shoulder. Nightflair returned it this morning (and refused to accept a reward). Thank you, Nightflair!!!
Another one for Avaluka and the NPE team, for the new tutorial: thank you for doing the work! It sounds like a huge project. I've felt for years (decades?) that the old tutorial was ultimately a problem for the game's longevity as it wasn't appealing to new players. I think you've done us all a favor whose impact on the community will be seen for years!
Thank you to @limpid kindle for bringing shield updates to Paladins. The Paladin video from a year ago when I erroneously said they could shield throw now lines up with current game mechanics. 🎉❤️
It was prophetic
Shields are more prophylatik.
@hexed mango and @harsh bronze both gave amazing workshops today as part of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit. Traiva hasn't caught the scrapbooking bug just yet, but Riend's lyricism in talking about ataela completely transfixed Traiva.
Also, huge kudos to everyone at Cairnfang Manor for another great Grand Art Exhibit festival, and to all the judges to had to judge the submitted entries.
This kudos is for GM Xeraphina, who has a deep and broad knowledge of GSIV and shares it a hands-on manner with the community in so many different areas. She's always stepping up to play air traffic controller to direct issues to the right channel, and one has the feeling that she's often monitoring to ensure things stay on track. Rules are part of what keeps a game fun, and her knowledge of them, and willingness to share with the player base, are part of what makes Gemstone continue to feel challenging, engaging, and as a result, fun: no rules, no game. I know that it can be difficult to be "the enforcer" because of the complex feelings and reactions it can elicit in others, but her willingness to fulfill this very difficult role comes from a place of love for the game and good will towards the players, and I sincerely appreciate that about her. Thanks for all that you do!
Xeraphina is good people. And I'm not just saying that because Cysaegir and Aelotoi.. but also things like the Woodchopper Box and fancy waist chains
(I didn't make fancy waistchains. That was someone else)
can I? can I? ....must meme....get...to...the....choppa....
"do it" /end whisper
Thank you GM @wraith hazel for assisting me with finding out what happened to my Dhu Kitten. (Altered to look like my cat who passed) I was scared it was lost forever.
Pick up your pets people
Otuio was a fun experience last night. Paid for in ale and the way he addressed you when it was your turn was entertaining. Kinda reminded me of a merchant named Mbatta a long time ago with a wagon near lesser orcs who ADDED weight to your weapon if that's how you asked for it. (as a joke) @deft owl
"Fer some reason, yer next."
"What?"
I was entertained.
Wanted to say "Amazing job" to all the room designers/painters past and present. I've been messing around with AI and room descriptions and it is truly a beautiful world that ya'll have created.
I just want to give props to Riend and everyone else who was involved in organizing the Plat/CHE/MHO mixer yesterday. There were 61 folks in the room at one point all hobnobbing and even though the screen scroll was a bit intense, I had a blast.
This kind of collaboration and community is what GS is all about, to me, and I'm so so so happy to see the Plat folks get included in such a welcoming, friendly manner.
Thanks, all. 
You said this so much better than I possibly could. Watching everyone show up last night to support the Platinum folks meant so much, to them... to me. It reminded me how much this community cares and every one of you is so awesome.
We're tossing around ideas about expanding this, making it a series of town-based events (to cut down on scroll) and allow CHEs/MHOs to really talk about what they do and who they are... see if we can get more people interested in joining up.
So long story short, I have some thank yous for folks who helped out.
Crafted items: Lissaya, Traiva, Qualeric, Aihan, Kippe
Basket Makers: Lissaya, Traiva, Fehala, Kippe, Missoni, Yunni, Jaired
And a massive thank you to @rough agate for all her help in the planning, executing and helping keep Riend and myself sane through it all.
And, of course, a giant thank you for the plat players for making this so much fun and giving us a chance to show you our hospitality. ❤️
A big kudo to Arianiss for updating their OSA map. My eyes and my sailors salute you with a big mug of booze.
A thank you to Thandiwe for Alouetta's adorable and fun visit last night, and to @slim berry for Owly's Super Useful Gemstone IV Alteration Template for coming to the rescue when I was unprepared 😄
I just want to give Kudos to all the GM's involved with the Nalfein Fest. It's only a bit more than halfway through and I've had a wonderful time. The merchants have been amazing! And I really enjoyed the lecture and the basket weaving. Such fun! Looking forward to tomorrow.
I'd like to ditto this, everything from the foragables and topiaries, to the NPC visits, shops and the work... you all made this festival such a wonderful time for all of us. Thank you, it was wonderful! ❤️
Whoever made the perfumes in Opulent Elixirs at Mairiseth Telearat... I love and hate you at the same time.
I don't think I've ever before gone into a perfume shop at a festival and had to buy all of them. Until now.
And then I had to buy some of the jewelry, too, which almost never happens.
Also massive kudos to Alirasawaen (I hope my memory spelled that right) for the marathon basket-weaving and weavable altering and basket tweaking session yesterday afternoon. After working on them on Saturday night. I'm going to love using my first basket, and now I have a fun mission for the second 🐔
I feel like it's a missed opportunity not to make a breakfast spread with that chicken basket.
I'm not keeping it for myself - I'm going to distribute it somehow during Revelia Carnivale (still deciding on the how and when) - but... it will have appropriately themed items placed in it to get it started.
I wanted to thank Zieshcka for the great experience in SH tonight. She really helped me through a mess on my alteration and I think I like the modification even better! She was extremely patient even when my request slowed up the line and helped me stay on track to get it done. Lots of love to her this evening!
Oh, as the person after you in line, think nothing of it…. I was seriously grateful for the extra time because I was editing and re-editing my SHOW until the last possible second. It saved me from a compromise!
I've spent the past week working on outfits based around OTS clothing from the new shop inventories, using specialty design NPCs, along with the vast array of crafting tools we now have available and I have loved every moment of it. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the GMs behind providing so many avenues to create such amazing customized garments and accessories. It has reduced my alter wish list to almost nothing as I feel I can refresh Roh's wardrobe on a daily basis without waiting for a GALD merchant.
I rather enjoyed Zahiris visit on Sunday night. Having played a hack/slash, see enemy, smash enemy, giant warrior my whole GS life, I am enjoying switching it up with a dark elf sorc and realizing now all the fun that can be had with one. "My master lives upon my grasp of the grave." And his response, "The irony." 🥳
Big thanks to Itzel for helping my arm greaves become less confused about their identity. They now show and wear as arm greaves.
A 🌮 for you Itzel!
Just a kudos out of nowhere to Kaonashi for being one of the best alterers out there. Still remember last EG when I had a really cool image of some armor I shared and he was into it, he did a show alter on top just because he also was into it ❤️
Kaonashi is amazing, merchanting, referrals... I have never had any kind of even remotely unenjoyable experience with them. ❤️
Just wanted to thank @umbral phoenix, @bright pasture & @cinder flare for possibly one of the funniest GS conversations ever ❤️
That conversation was something I felt like we could all sink our teeth into. Loved it!
I see what you did there. Wise and scholarly 🍖
I got to see a few Choice cuts of that conversation.
Blades always makes me laugh. I still remember when we had to do our invasion training with my class and the kobolds had them hunting for an amulet, but the kobolds were calling it an omelet and in the middle of the invasion, Blades says, "This is a lot of work for breakfast." 🤣 i had that as my discord bio for years.
No work is a lot of work for breakfast... or dessert.
haha yeah that was good times.
Blaargh the 137th never did find a proper morning meal.
Special thank you to @shadow lark for bringing Sylvans and their stories back to life! This year has been so much fun exploring our characters deeper and building a sylvan community. 💚
Also big 💚 to @narrow quest for getting our storyline logs up on the wiki! Thank you, thank you!
I wanted to give a belated ty to Hoorne for the fine work he did on my rucksack, having a readable patch on it really brings the whole thing together!
Special thanks to Fryzel for the great work and very swift adjustment to my shirt. The monogram is just the way I wanted it!
Kudos to Igges for helping me figure out some designs for my cleric's war hammers! Love 'em 💚
Whoah...patches? As in Dwarf Scout Merit Badeges?!? My mind's bogglin... dey gonna hate wot Imma gonna askem fer! 🙂 (gots my own idears. but some em gonna be unspired by dese: https://tested-store.com/collections/demerit-badges)
Otterstide was a very fun, creative, and community-building event. Thank you Gentleman Hoorne aka @warped bluff
HUGE shout-out to the GMs who have been putting up festival shop inventories on the wiki before the festivals start - this has been an awesome change over the years. It's super helpful for the pay events when I have to budget RL money, but even for the silvers shops, this is great and creates a whole new level of excitement. (And eases a lot of anxiety. I like lower anxiety levels.)
I do not miss the days AT ALL when it was up to a player to run through the shops and pull inventories and prices and post them somewhere, and we didn't even know what half the things did until people were brave enough to buy them and test them out.
I don't miss those days either. 😁
Thank you so much to the GMs who have made shopping stress-free!
a bluish glass bubble caged in mithril-crafted kelp I asked Eulimene for a pin typical of the Acqsael, and look at this cool lil thing :3
This festival has been so awesome, I like it even more than the sprites. The attention to detail is amazing and made me decorate my screen with my soda - try daydreaming while in the event. 😉
Whoever named the perfume "Pirate Cats Being Lured onto the Rocks by Yarn-Crafted Sirens"? the name is phenomenal, it's perfect. I absolutely lost my mind laughing. No notes. Thank you. You're beautiful.
Kudos to whoever is doing the late night merchant. It's appreciated by this night owl. You deserve a taco.
Kudos to Dulse for putting up with my being thick-headed and not realizing that when he said my name with a different pronunciation, he was telling me to hand him something to work on. It's late, and I am dense sometimes!
@daring forge ⛈️ 😂 🥳 
I forget who did it, but the GM(s) that did the HUGE work to revamp raffles has been my hero during Premium Festival. Getting the list of the raffles, the raffle guide to take me right there, and the ability to be offline for the draws (at a time when I had an emergency situation that made it so I suddenly didn't know my schedule) had me spending so much silver on raffles. And even though I haven't won any yet, at least I could have the chance.
Yusri
Big shout out to @distant tree for the little event she arranged for us in Plat earlier this evening. A big kudos to my fellow plat folks who showed up and showed out.. Thank you for the fun tonight, and over the years, ya'll rock.
Now...come home. 😉
WHEW! Now that the tour is over I have a few kudos to share. Firstly thank you @crystal torrent for helping with the charms and @errant narwhal for helping with the fireworks. Huge kudos to @rough agate for helping turn a small idea into Yunni's reality and providing all the help and support I could ask for while getting the hang of officer things. Lastly, big kudos for everyone who stopped by! Whether you came by for one or all none of it would have been possible without you! Thanks again!
🍻 🎣 
Thanks to @wild berry and @rough agate for the fishing tour! It was a lot of fun and even the participation package was full of wonderful surprises! 💙
I wanted to make a special thanks to Gizwizit for his wonderful RP and help on my galding. It was total last minute and they were so patient! My initial idea had some complications and they helped me not only fix it for parameters but, IMO, made it way better than my original idea.
I am very grateful to the wonderful team that makes this game so deep and beautiful! (IRL there are a lot of things going on and coming back from the late 90s has been just what my old heart needed to lighten the load)
❤️
Gizwizit is amazing. As a player, I always had a wonderful time at his merchant sessions, especially with the 'Nexted!' catchphrase!
Massive kudos to @shadow lark for fixing some merge issues for me!
Gizwizit is happys yous hads a greats times. And I'm always glad when someone ends up pleased with what we end up creating together.
Big thanks to @daring forge for the assist in my never-ending war on Picasso 😄 ❤️
I've gotten a few little RPAs for being helpful on amunet, and just want to say thank you to whoever is doing this (and sorry that you have to be monitoring the net all day)
Huge kudos to @rough agate for knocking this Revelia Carnivale out of the park. The events were amazing and I got to spend so much time this week catching up with friends and seeing some old, very much missed ones aswell.
Thank you for organizing this again. ❤️ ❤️
I couldn't pull off Revelia Carnivale without my partners in crime - @untold sparrow , @neat loom , @exotic jackal ... and everyone else who hosts events during Carnivale, performs in the Concert, and, most importantly, attends our events. Also a big shout-out to @wary raven for her CHE support.
Revel Revelia!!
Thank you to all the folks who went to simucon and made it great!! Major kudos for all the laughs and memories.
thanks whatever GM did scroll #124 lol, my friend is gonna love it.. he keeps and eats all the muffins he finds 😂
plz send back full of muffins 🙂
Muffins are just breakfast cake. I'm on board with that!
the tote was poofed back empty 😢 i bought him some bakery things though.. none had muffins sadly*.
Itzel, did you make the tote? if so.. i have a question, cause its seems slightly weird to me.. but it may just be me not understanding things
a crumb-covered souvenir tote "stitched with embroidered" baked goods
should that be like that..? i was looking at it this morning and all i could think in my head it said was stitched with stitched baked goods..
but could just be my brain.. anyone?
also.. going to slide this conversation over to alteration help so its more fitting
thanks to fenky for coming out today and making the best pair of calipers 🙂
Muffins is jus cake witout frostin'... derfore, pointless! 🧁
Kudos to whoever was handling Sadie scrolls this week! Used my Premium points to add crit weighting to an item for someone and it was done within 24 hours! My mind, Their Mind, Everyone's mind was blown 🙂
Kudos and Thank you!
Kudos to Mestys for correct grammatical usage of the term "the UCS" so that my brain could parse the sentence as coherent English.
I've been pretty against the gemstone quest. Having completed it, nothing has changed in my opinion, in fact it might even be worse than I imagined.
However, I have to give a shout out to @small merlin @smoky locust @woeful otter @viral latch and @fathom shadow for the hand holding to get me through it.
The quest itself is great! The gemstone hunting is... what it is.. and optional. 😛
Because of your disdain for it... you're almost guaranteed a legendary Mirror Image drop worth 500m on your first gem. That's how RNG works. I'm going to go ahead and give you the pre-emptive congrats on it 😉
And happy to help on the questing 🙂
And I shall research and prepare a cheeky gif for the occasion.
Nope, but for a common not a bad 1st gemstone.
Property: Flare Resonance (Rank 1 of 5)
Rarity: Common
Mnemonic: flareresonance

flare resonance is a darn good start! congrats
Congratulation to Gemstone IV on 35 years!
But on a side note... Gemstone has been around for longer than 35 years so curious what the starting point for the 35 years is... when the game converted to Gemstone IV?
2/1/1990 the official release date. Before that was beta testing
I was playing Gemstone in 1989 on Genie so.... release for Gemstone IV?
4 was 2003 with web move.
Let me find the link, or Jara should know
Originally started 86 in Whatley house, public release in 88 iirc from radio interview I posted a year back or so.
GemStone was first demonstrated to GEnie in 1987 before Simutronics was officially incorporated. It was only used as a demonstration model and was never available to the general subscribers. GemStone ][ was released in April 1988 to GEnie customers. However, GemStone ][ was very short-lived, and GemStone III went into open beta testing in December 1989, officially launching on February 1, 1990.
Official wikipedia info
Gemstone II was what I played.
Okay. So they are counting from Gemstone III launch (ish) it sounds like! (was noticing the recent GS 35 logo on Discord which is what got me to wondering how they were doing their math on this.)
Yeah GSIII is our official start date. It's tough to include the earlier bits as a lot changed. GSIII should have just continued to be the name, but that's my opinion
GemStone III is the game we would recognize now, with the Landing and its surrounding environs. GemStone ][ was in a place called Squire's Bluff.
And, a dragon that would attack the town. Picking people up and then dropping them. 😄
I had a challenging interaction recently, and Tivvy responded to my concern with validation, appreciation for the feedback, and constructive direction on where to forward my concern. Thank you, Tivvy. You were a model for customer service!
Tivvy's cool
GemStone 1 took place inna Clebeland.
Tivvy has the best taste in music.
Tivvy is generally great, and in ways y’all don’t get to see every day as players. We love our Tivvy.
Im great. But also, Faendryl Enclave is great. Was as well attended event as I've ever been to. Thank you!
It was a lot of people! I had such a great time, and I'm glad you came!
Hoorne & Fenkleth in the room together are amazing. The roleplaying, wittiness, humor, and engagement are top-notch, even aside from their skill as alterers. I always look forward to seeing you both play together, as well as to the wonderful work you do!
I see you crushing those bugs Ethereal!

Little does he know, I'm going behind him and adding more.
Fixing one bug and introducing 10 is how you ensure long term employment
Kudos to @supple socket for updating Sadie! Everyone had said it was one of those "scary" systems
It was. They're just that awesome!
Kudos to @warped bluff , @willow gull , @modern smelt and @wary raven for the merchant train of awesome last night. You're all amazing and I know we put Elysani and Xynwen through the ringer with the nonsense Glomp talk but <3.
Also Kaonashi being the most awesome ever and helping me with that monstrous dress. You are always a treat. ❤️
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you (very, very much) to whoever the GM was, handling my Sadie scroll, that altered my waistcoat into my snowy white tabard. It's very much appreciated, thank you! 😃
I don't rightly know who created the papermaker, but I want to thank you so much. I've been using it to support a lot of player-based rp lately and the amount of things you can do with it... it's SUCH an amazing rp tool. Thank you ❤️
I think the papermaker belongs to Thandiwe.
Pretty sure it's Thandiwe, and yes, the paper maker is AMAZING
The Papermaker and the basketifiers are so amazing for player-run events
I couldn’t run my current storyline without it. I love it so much!
Making little lunch bags for my alts has been my use of the paper maker lately
that's an adorable idea 😄
We should make bento boxes with chopsticks. I don't know what we would call them, but... 💡
Oooh I love that idea!
I marked mine: "Savvy's Sammich"
A small lacquered lunchbox might get the feel of it, with space for some food items and chopsticks
And then combine it with the Small Diner's Board script and be able to hand your lunch companion an identical meal ❤️ I love it.
Ooo cute, yessss
I thought it was Thandiwe but wasn't quite sure. But seriously so much fun.
❤️
Many thanks to Vanah for fixing the simucon item! PROST! And to Naiken for making it!
Recently saw Bakarus getting bugs fixed. Love that guy. Thank you Brother!
What would we do without him?
So, I need to do some major kudos here for all the help with getting Fizwixit's Wonderful Widget out there.
@boreal shore and @karmic bluff for amazingly quick QC both on the initial submissions and all my additions as I added a few features and all the room themes. Isten's patience and turnaround ability is awe-inspiring. @warm jungle as well for quick QC on the 'physical' aspects of this vault item and for going above and beyond while doing that and finding script errors the rest of us missed!
@restive vale , @modern smelt , @final nacelle , @narrow quest , and @steady sphinx for being beyond crazy amazing with the creation of room themes. I still have about a dozen to add; they are writing them quicker than I can format them for the script!
Kudos and thank you!!
Dat last one was too...um... "how to make sausagey" 😉
(Helpfull Hint #83382: Sausage? Neber ask how it's made!)
Figured I should actually post this here:
Can I just say that the more I play with the widgit pin, the more I am impressed. The themes are giving me so many ideas for events and general RP. Thank you to all concerned for putting this amazing item together! And thank you to all the players who are so generously trading and donating to others. 🥰
Thanks to everyone that joined us tonight to remember Goldstr. I often say we have a relatively small community, and I appreciate the way we can come together for moments like this to celebrate the memory of one of our own. Special thanks to whoever was chiming in with the special messaging. The moment at Kai's shrine really hit hard, but it was lovely.🖤
Thank you @narrow quest for your amazing help with a very niche project. 💙
I've been testing out the new web page for GS and so far it looks like a great job! So kudos to all involved in that project! Well done!
I will share it with our onsite folks that worked on it.
Just gonna shoutout @sharp crystal for helping me figure out account reactivation stretching back literal decades 🙂
welcome back!!!
Chris In Billing is the glue that holds this all together. 😆
Chris in Billing is the gem we must protect at all costs.
Chris in Billing once remembered me in an email conversation. I still have it in my favorites.
I just want to take a moment to thank all the game hosts. Thank you for taking up the mantle.
@modern smelt You're a beautiful person. You and Riend know what you did 😍
@spice veldt Few days overdue, but… that was a memorable and wonderful thing you did at Mania.
That was incredibly kind. GMs were watching behind the scenes and even we were all like, “Woah.”
Echoing this. That was really cool.
Thanks Chris for helping dreams come true and burning that 5pm on Friday oil. @sharp crystal
Gazing affectionately at you, the somber cleric confides, "You know, if I had a nose hair like that one of yours, I'd be as happy as a plucked chicken. How long have you been tending that monster?"
Kudos to whoever wrote all the lines for the Zelia cleric in Solhaven. It must have been so fun to write all the dialogue. I was trying to have some srs RP and saw this...I lost it
Its hard when you are a big Phoen guy trying to help people away from Zelia and you realize their cleric is comedy gold
It's really worth setting a reminder to go hang out in the courtyard on April fool's day
I did get to do that last year, and it was wonderful
I answered in another thread, but Mikos started the temple, and it was finished by Jharra and Andraste.
Kudos to @boreal shore and crew for the smoothest mania I've seen
Thank you Qyin for the perfect tattoo... Jaisey has always wanted a rat. "Clad in an extravagant, jewel-covered gown, the diminutive rat is covered in brushed violet fur with a faint pearlescent sheen. Tiny pixie wings are affixed to the rat's back while rings of mixed metals decorate its curled tail tucked neatly as the rat princess sits upon her tall wand-crafted throne."
Thanks @wary raven for the lightning fast redemption of my very first HESS request!
A big ol' tahoo horn'd kudu fer @limpid kindle fer finally gibbin' in to years o' my passiff aggressiff whinin! I realize ye went wit Perigourd's idear...but dat's okay. Imma shore ye'll tackle da second proposal ... berbatim* assa soon as ye kin! 🙂

- (current Bounty Task Waivers: 619 --- dat's too many!)
Kudos to Xynwen and everyone who helped bring the widget and many themes to life. Tis my favorite item of the festival.
Thank you to whomever completed my HESS order so quickly! That has to be a record for me 😄 (I assume it was @restive vale as I saw him around earlier) ❤️
@wary raven - For helping me build a thing for my widget and being an absolute delight to work with (as always). These widgets are wonderful, and I'm so happy with what we did. Thank you ❤️ ❤️
@white totem Thank you for taking care of my problem today! I appreciate you following up and eventually fixing it for me!
@wary raven easily the best GH/GM experience I've ever had and I've been playing GS for 25+ years. The patience, the courtesy and the pleasant demeanor... thanks again 🍻
@vocal geyser and the Towncrier team - thanks for the awesome Endless and Endless Swarm winners’ swag packages!
Wait there are swag bags? I need to send Brute a fixprof. But also kudos to all the winners
@steady sphinx @fleet tiger @white totem @rocky horizon - thanks for all your help and work with Tolwynn's and my fyrswn'ava transmutes. It's such a beautiful thing 😍
Kudos to Nightpixie for being encouraging. I don't think they're on discord. But they certainly pulled me out of a slump earlier today.
Kudos to Aiza for the super fast assist! I'm glad to be able to supply a little bit of amusement.
To @sage abyss, @cinder flare, @fluid gyro, @placid quarry, @charred sparrow, @dark prism, and all the people who've attended our Faendryl Symposium events this weekend -- thank you so much for presenting and for being present! There's still another event tomorrow evening, but I wanted to sneak in here early and thank everyone for being part of it. ❤️
and thank you for your third dramatic offering for us, your Elanthian and RL friends! y'all are just so much fun to do this with. Eight years running! 🏃♂️
The plays make me so happy to write and perform. Mm, delicious scenery to chew. 😄
It was such an incredible performance - and incredibly well written. A true delight.
I am so sorry that I had to miss it, but my health was having issues. 😭
I hope you're feeling better today and are enjoying a peaceful Sunday. ❤️
Just wanted to say that I'm loving Sailor's Grief and the challenge it presents and wanted to thank Auchand, and everyone else involved in building it. The ships are awesome, the creatures are tough, but fun, and for post cap it rekindles the danger that I used to feel at lower levels a bit so I'm having a blast there right now.

This is a general Kudos, as a Sylvan and oft feeling left out of things cultural. I am so happy to see this month long Sylvan centered event! Wow! It feels like a bonanza for Sylvan! So whoever is behind it, thank you and major kudos!
Super-duper oodles of kudos to Thandiwe for figuring out a persistent bug in a book for me- now a regular bookworm can move in 🤣. Thank you so much!
I’ll add mine for fixing mine too!
Massive kudos to all the GMs for the effort they put in the last two weekends, and for the thirty years leading up to these special events. Along the way they've created fantastic narratives and sandbox that we have been fortunate enough to play in. From Mikos, Auchand, Lydil, Kenstrom, Mars, and Thandiwe, and I'm sure more that I am not aware of. Thank you all!
And again, congratulations to @plucky heath & @lament tide !
Thank you so much @willow gull for rescuing me from the calm frozen purgatory of the non-moving Hinterwilds Sleigh.
Your confident demeanor and floppy woolen hat saved my morning.
He said, "you can't do that to my people" and then he ported me away in five seconds flat!
Truly a Hero of Someplace.
Thank you, Lydil. 💝
I don't know who worked on either of them, but my last two Sadie scrolls were both done within 48 hours and that's AMAZINGly fast. I appreciate it so much, thank you! ❤️
Sorry girls... I aint salootin. 🤪
Thank you @willow gull for making capping an alt at 4am just a little fun ❤️
That's the spirit! You get up and stand up and celebrate! And definitely don't fall on your face at a table by yourself, with yourself. That would totally be embarassing way to spend a momumental day like today.
Massive over-the-top piles of cookies kudos to @craggy peak for going so so so above and beyond fixing my lapidary boxes tonight. You know what you did!
Tolwynn showed me his package with the hotel room key (basic room, not even the conference)... the mailing package and notecard are amazingly beautiful.
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to all the GMs who helped with the HW room we recently added. @narrow quest - For wrangling all the cats and helping work on this and putting up with allllllll the emails.
@modern smelt - For all the work she put into flavor messaging, design and the unique touches that really brought everything together. And also for putting up with emails ><.
@random current - For being a good sport and letting us add a little spot to his hunting ground, I hope you like it at least half as much as we do.
@shadow lark - Who I believe did the QC on this, that was amazingly fast and we're so grateful for the effort.
All-in-all, we got there and I appreciate all of your help on this. It's something I wanted to do to make the Wyrmslayers know how much they helped the community and keep a little piece of their history in GS. So thank you so much. ❤️
Just wanted to give kudos to everyone who worked on this Shadow Box item. It is simply an amazing tool, and I have had such fun playing around with it thus far. It never ceases to astonish me how many ways you all come up with to allow us to customize our items, our characters and their environment ❤️
@narrow quest Thank you so much for helping to fix Xanthalas' Guidebook Quest and my Spider issues! You never cease to amaze me with everything you do to make this game amazing for us!
Here we go again! @narrow quest - thank you for listening to us about the spiders and finding space on your ridiculously full plate to work on the House of Spider. This is SUCH a game changer and just... thank you. ❤️ You've taken an awesome item and made it even 10x more awesome.
Big massive horking shout outs to @remote latch @junior sandal @shadow lark @patent cape and all the others that worked so tirelessly on getting the Plat properties transitioned over and in their new home. I know how much work that must have been and you all are complete rock stars! The new Plat home area is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for the booze fruits too! 😄
Huge thank you to all the GMs who worked last night getting the first wave of alterations done for hotel guests. It went so smoothly, and there wasn't much of a wait, and I wound up getting more than I thought I would, as it turns out spiders count as one service top to bottom!
THANK YOU for putting out the unlocks for dont bug me!
Just throwing out a thanks to the merchants who have been putting in some west coast hours - it's very much appreciated!
YW even though I'm east coast so I'm dead on my feet. lol
Y'all are the best. Thank you for staying up so late for us ❤️
As a night owl on the east coast, the late hours are much appreciated!
Kudos to @final nacelle for QCing for the pocket add raffle. Unseen hero behind the scenes!
The grimalkin abides.
The grimalkin summoned Bagagwa tho.
Weatherly saw me helping a new player earlier who was interested in having a symbol worked on. Prior to her spinning again later on, she saw him sitting at a table, and let me know she was about to spin so I could tell him to come. This is how we keep new and returning players! Thank you, Sister Weatherly!
Dis kinda issa anti-kudu gainst me anna Gutstorm! Imma reminded o' dat time we stumbl'd onna merchant-trainee who had set up shop a coupla hunnert yards outside o' town... We had some fun inneractions den got tahoo er tree simple things alter'd... each! Anna we kept mum bout da oppertoonity! (Greedy Dwarfs 🤪 )
Some o' ye is commend'bly good!
It's been a long day, but hopefully some folks who can't get on until later in the evening got some services.
My deep appreciation to the GM of Tuffeetti for the amazing alter that I received last night! It's my favorite alter ever! I was having a tough day/night and you made everything better! 🤍
We must also thank Tuffeetti for giving us our EG quote. ❤️
What's that? i hasn't seen that!
Tufeetti asks, "Just ripping them right off your body, no care, cheeks out, huh?"
In response to someone taking their pants off and handing them to her. Much hilarity ensued.
Shout out to Ol' Crondi ... she's still just as creepy as ever. ♥️
I'm now waiting for Luxie's pulse rate to return to normal...
Such huge kudos to Seynne for running the small boards competition again this year, and more applause for everyone who entered and participated! It's a highlight of my EG, and this year was no exception. If I ever see a jaboticaba fruit, I cannot wait to try it.
they're pretty good! Kinda grape-like, unsurprisingly
They definitely look like grapes, or muscadines. I learned a fair bit about them tonight. 😄
That fruit is only ever jabba the hut fruit from nightmare tree to me.
My Tree Spirit for the Premium Festival is Jaboticaba and she spoke in third person.... Imaging saying that everytime you wanted to say I....
Just a kudos to Indres who knocked out (if I counted correctly) 32 services in an alter session earlier.
She has me beat by like 3. I must fight her. 
I agree! You should set up a competition in like...20 minutes. <.<
I have class tonight.
So I won't be around for several hours!
This week is full-time dayjob, classes and midterms (7 credit hours) and Merchant Week. I will sleep in November. 😆
I remember those days. Part of me misses them. The rest of me still carries the trauma.
Shout outs and good vibes to Indres for spinning and working for 45 people, thank you!
❤️
Okay I'm not even gonna bother to fight her
I just finished my final paper a few days ago. bleh, my brain is goo.
I dunno how y'all do it with merchant week, jobs and whatever else you got.
By living on the edge of sanity
@rocky horizon -- thank you for the incredible show on the werepuppy. I keep rereading it, and it really is so good. Thank you.
Shout out to all the incredible GMs going nuts. And also special mention to Indres for making it impossible for me to decide how I want to wear my crown with three epic sides and hairstyles. That crown is crazy.
Just gotta throw out a massive kudos to Seynne. Absolutely cannot be thankful enough. Graced me with a cooperative spinner, truly masterful work on the item, and threw in some light teasing. 12/10 would merchant again 😉
Would like to thank Siebarra today for her altering work. After not attending any merchant events in 30 years (on and off) due to nerves I decided to attend and see if she would be able to make something for me. Came out with two great alters that came even better then I expected. ```
a sapphire-set black felt pack
Stitched from a deep, velvety black cloth, the pack is adorned with a series of faceted wyrm's heart sapphires across its surface. Although each sapphire is vivid in hue, the variation in color, size, and cut gives a significant texture to the pack, which appears as if it has a constellation of lustrous, bright blue stars across its surface. These sapphires carry up to the pack's opening, where they are joined by deep crimson rubies and form a perfect gemstone circle topping the pack.```
an emerald-eyed bright orange backpack
Dyed a bright, pumpkin orange, the backpack resembles a large, back-worn pumpkin. Radiant, gold-green auroral emeralds are set as the backpack's eyes, attached to flaps so that, as the backpack shifts, it looks as if its eyes are glancing about. The mouth is made from leather stitchwork across the backpack's base and is set in a wide, upturned grin, with bits of cream-hued ivory as inset teeth. The backpack's leather is worn but well-maintained, shown through careful repair work and the detail in the backpack's pumpkin face.```
GMs are going all out right now and it's super appreciated.
You are so welcome. Alteration can be intimidating, but our hope it to help ya'll tell sick stories in the items that make your longstanding characters.
tbh the alter book in theory handles a lot of the fluffy stuff I want outfit-wise, there are just some scripted things that have to be merchanted, so this is oh-so-helpful
Just letting you know: you are all rock stars. This has been such a fun week, and the work you've done and the items you all made, the stories- this is why I love Ebon Gate so, so much. Thank you!
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
I'd like to give a shout-out to my personal Merchant Week heroes - Ghlum, Davro, Sonnora, Vaella, Igges, Indres, and Siebarra -- either I got work from you or you made sitting around hoping for work memorable enough to stick out in my semi-caffeinated brain. And it's always great to see Fenkleth and Jehckle around.
Also a big shout-out to Seynne for the culinary challenges! I have another custom diner's board I can't wait to use that came about through an incredibly memorable experience, and being flexible about the basketifier challenge so participants and judges wouldn't miss merchant-chasing time is greatly appreciated. For those of you who wanted to participate in these contests but didn't get picked this year, definitely try again next year! And to all of you scared to try to participate, don't be! It's a great way to strengthen and form friendships and really push the creative muscle, and if you get the right group, SOMEONE will step up to help with the presenting part; plus, everyone is super supportive 
Shout out to the merchants behind the fishhooks! This merchant week I was lucky enough to catch three, and they were all such different and amazing experiences! I had a blast. So much creativity on display, I love it!
You slowly rotate your pastoral staff between your flattened palms. Crackling rhimar blue filaments spin out from its surface, intertwining and forming a spiraling array of blue cheese runes. The runes flash briefly, then disperse.
<grins happily>
Thanks go to Valyrka for fixing my home entry appearance.
Thank you @narrow quest for taking time out of all of the EG craziness to help me hang some art ❤️
Did you hang it to cover the elk’s head?
Yes.
One frame on each antler.
Massive kudos to @sand kernel for the beyond amazing generousity and gift to my cleric Vindicta. It will be well loved, well used, and always well remembered. ❤️
Kudos to all the GMs for all their hard work but this post is especially for their unending creativity. not just in the functionality of items but the ongoing writing skills are very impressive and appreciated!
From on the fly alterations, to all the quests, to several paragraph stories just to announce an item (i.e. spider hole) it never ceases to amaze!
Kudos to all the GMs. First time being dragged into EG and had a blast. The rooms are amazing the games and fishing were a blast. Yes they are simple but when in a fun group really made it feel like a county fair. Didn't get to merchant but the few I met were fun. The prizes I got from things were simple but memorable. Over all awesome. Maybe next year I will do the whole experience
@fading eagle = 🔥
Kudos to Thandiwe for the basket competition today! She went above and beyond the Call of Duty, welcoming some people who otherwise wouldn't have gotten a chance to compete by we spending, and she and other competitors graciously let my team go first because we had two of us Hoover quite pressed for time. It means a lot that everyone was so accommodating and kind, and congratulations to the winners!
Thank you Elysani for the incredible work you did on my contraption! The custom label is incredible and I love the personalized touch! 💜
I gotta say, I've been watching people science spidering things - turning flowers into gems, and putting those gems into things, and using other spiders on gems, and weaving silly jewelry out of charms, and I have to give mondo kudos to everyone involved in building the spider house and spiders. I can only imagine it'll get better as Stuff ™ gets looked at to be added to spiderability. So thanks so much!
😂 @ripe wagon I love the painting and am sure some mischievious Winedotter will make sure it's hung in the Illithien Aerie while Ela's back is turned
This year's EG was amazing. I just want to say thank you to the entire team.
Heartfelt kudos to Kaonashi and Avaluka! Murdering all of my woodland friends so that I can immortalize them as sock puppets and have them say/do silly things is way more fun than I could have imagined.
A-Z-I-D-A-E-R @wraith hazel -- thank you x1000. Went above and beyond.
You're welcome!
OEL big thank you ❤️ Such a good hearted pillar in the lands. You guys are the wind beneath my wings.
Big thanks to @craggy peak for taking the time to resolve my assist request during EG. I was very frustrated about my situation and you made it all better 🤍 . May the angels sing your praises and if my wife should ever bear more children they will all be named Marstreform.
Because it's come up... Big Kudos to @narrow quest for the analyze on the Ribbonator 2000 - the final paragraph is some of my favorite writing in the game 😂
I want to give a kudos to @limpid kindle for working on an amazing new quest system and working with us when things don't quite go as plan. I appreciate you trying new things and listening to our feedback ❤️ ❤️
Kudos to @sonic pulsar, @ember iris, and everyone involved in the Sacrifice changes and rollout! I was literally just complaining during the last invasion that it's so hard to find good help these days, and now I can repair what I scrape off the streets of the Landing with a simple SAC CHANNEL. Love this for me!
The flavor text is magnificently flavorful, and I am still exploring the performance of it, but so far I'm happy. Thank you for new sorcerous surprises -- and just in time for Christmas. 🖤
Adding @deep oriole to the Kudos list for sorcery updates and for having a cool Hypnotic Specter avatar. 🖤
Kudos to @remote dew for capping this eve - and just being one the best, wonderful, fun, and adorable persons to be around! 🎉 💗 
I want to shout out some major kudos to @gilded trellis for taking on the project of lich mapping all the CHE lockers to make life easier on everyone. He's always doing these small (and large) projects that benefit the community and I just want to say thank you for everything you do!
Thanks, wouldn't be possible without @urban swift work on updating go2 to support it!
Appreciate the kudos, Tysong definitely took the heavier lift with mapping everything, but glad we got it there.
❤️ thank you @urban swift for all your awesome work too. The whole team over there is amazing and I appreciate you 🙂
Ok...Ok...I know I am behind the times...but...the papermaker is awesome...all hail the papermaker maker
Butcher paper is my favorite thing to make.
I just wanted to give major kudos to @random current and anyone else that took part in working the fishing update! I’ve been having a blast with it and can’t wait to see all the anglers it will bring out for the next Paupers Fishing Tour. Thank you!!! 🎉🍻
Also huge Kudos to @ripe wagon and @sick patrol for an updated Artisan Fishing Guide 🎣
Saves me from a lot of work.
Name a fish after them
How about a race?
We already have shan, so we're going to introduce a group of fish people called maylans.
ship it
Maylans are a sea creature with the head of a fish and the body of a humanoid, except with peglegs swapped out for real legs. They can't swim very well, but that's okay because they're all pretty lazy and don't really want to.
I'm a liiittle ™ late but...
Kudos to the team who worked on the Festival of the White Star! Lots of thought and effort clearly went toward the descriptions of the area, and the portrayals of the Brughan & Mhoragian cultures. One Truefolk (and perhaps others) even found home! It's refreshing to see background options outside of Icemule fleshed out so convincingly.
Also, LOL at "fat-bread" tarts
Also, those blankets are 🔥
Also, FINALLY halfling combs!
...Ok, I'll stop now!
Thanks for fixing the messaging on the yew tube firework. I noticed the "above above" is now just "above". It's the little things that spark.
-
Happy Merry Whatever Brings You Joy This Time of Year & Merry X-Mas Eve to those staring into the void of holiday cheer tonight for that.
-
Kudos and Thank You to all you GMs and GHs who somehow manage your own RL gatherings, traditions, families and even other jobs and still come here to bring some semblance of fun and joy during the holiday season (and what would be a break to so many others) to all of us here in Elanthia.
🩷 💚 ❤️ 🎁
Many thanks to all the QCers who have been so amazing at getting scripts and shops and everything out of QC during the holidays. The Driftglass Fayre is here because of you! Please give yourselves extra pie and holiday meal leftovers. You've all earned it. <3 <3 <3
I want to give a lot of love to all the GMs over the past few years who have worked on all our crafty and create-y goodies and systems. This holiday season I've received items made through knitting, the cooking system, the portable alcohol still and bottletraption, the cheese wheel, frosting tubes/tips, the papermaker, the jewelry smelter, the jewelry box... I feel like I'm forgetting something... And I've made gifts with the stovetop oven, jammy juicer, and the weaving system.... and with that made use of the baker's rack, vasculums, and gem bin, and the basketifier to help store food/drink I constantly use for flavoring. And my dye-n-ator has allowed me to stockpile multiple dyes to further personalize items. And Bugs On Parade/Life Aquatic/Jeepers Peepers birds, plus the flower press and hole punch. And now the spider apothecary boxes for even more customizing.
Yup, it's a lot. And it totally amazes me and makes me so happy.
Thank you to all the Vanadre Chiras merchants, especially Imuelan, who stuck around and worked tirelessly for a bunch of people with Rainbowear! It's an uncommon service, and it was very welcome; thanks so much for offering it. ❤️
I just want to say Happy New Years to everyone and offer an affectionate THANK YOU to all the GMs who make our little Elanthian world special. Thank you for creating such fun things for us to play with! Thank you for suffering long hours of merchant work and even thank you to the QCers (even tho you drive us crazy sometimes lol)! Thank you for all you do for the game but moreso, for the little things that put smiles on our faces. Sometimes the real world can be stressful and escaping now and then into our game world is just plain fun. Well most times when we aren't arguing over why you did THAT LOL. But know that this little Sylvan is very grateful -even if I get mad once in a blue moon (ONCE in a BLUE moon - remember that lol). And I have a feeling so are many others who populate Elanthia. My wish for all of you is happiness, safety, health and prosperity too! As I tend to do.. offering a big HUG to you all!.
Huge kudos and thank you for the free festivals this year. They were adorable and had some wonderfully unexpected elements. 🙂
Happy New Year to all of you, and a huge, huge KUDOS and THANK YOU to the GMs who keep Elanthia turning and evolving! The Driftglass Fayre, as all of the other releases of cultural lore/events of recent, was absolutely awesome and enjoyable. And I will delight in my Chirasean bias.

I had every intention of writing individual thank you letters but as time goes by and my game time remains limited, I’ve realised that it is unlikely to happen in a timely fashion. I would therefore like to thank each and every crafter who sent me a gift box/parcel. I have enjoyed opening them all and being amazed by the creativity.
Thank you also to the GMs who created the tools to make them possible.
I am looking forward to hiding Rohese away in 2026 to eat all the goodies and play with all the toys.
Want to give a huge shout out to Gamehost Rosemunde. While Rosemunde couldn't really help with my issue tonight it was an amazing assist, great customer experience, and over all lovely person. Thank you!
thank you Kaonashi for completing my greater transmute!
Always thrilled to help. I must acknowledge our rockstar development team for their help and alacrity, also. Enjoy! ❤️
Wanted to say thanks to all my fellow players -- you are the people that make this game worth playing. That includes the hard-working GMs who obviously care so much about the game and making stories. Gemstone is lucky to have all of you.
Kudos to the way that the GM team is handling the early feedback of the new exp and loot system. You’re responding with understanding and trying to find solutions against an onslaught of feedback. From the quick fixes on gem issues, to taking feedback about how the lower loot cap affects other items, and the endless stream of feedback on resources. Well done.
I will piggyback this but with pointing out @limpid kindle @junior sandal @random current for listening, talking and pretty much just letting us know that we're being heard.
^ nod
Thank you Elanthia Online team for the flurry of updates to help keep our hunting routines running smoothly.
@white totem popped in too and made some good jokes
Well then, kudos to Ethereal toooo
Kudos to @hexed mango for the work she’s put into her player run storyline. I love that the props you bring along really bring the story to life, as well as the players that join in. Definitely recommend anyone interested in RPing to take a peek and jump in on the storyline
I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm having a blast in both putting it together and seeing what you all come up with ❤️
I was utterly sad I had to miss it. RL kept me away too late. That said from what I am watching from the outside and what little input I have had with her story, Rohese does put together some great fun. Kudos for sure!
Thanks to Mestys for fixing the enhancive effects bug.
Thank you dev team for the adjustments to our resource changes and loot valuations. We've reached a great middle ground, and it's very appreciated.
May we all find refreshment. Thanks for the consistent efforts. And especially...thanks for all the fish🎶
@wind laurel
We all know why
Thank you to the GM that just picked up my Sadie tag and completed the work within 5 minutes of submission!
Thank you @fallow dawn for helping with my ribbon last night, you were so patient with me and I appreciate it!
You're welcome, and thanks for your patience while I was trying to piece it all together!
Thank you to Itzel for tackling what was evidently a nightmare of a referral! Your hard work and dedication are appreciated. Not all heroes wear capes!
but Itzel does wear a cape.... 🙂
I'll echo the Itzel work. I had 3 hatefully old things she dealt with. Two fixed within a few minutes, with the notes to fix the 3rd.
@sharp crystal
Nuff said.
You're a gem.

I had a billing issue and somehow it got lost in the ether and Chris not only responded to the email super fast, but took care of it right after I resubmitted.
As always, you're pretty amazing. ❤️ @sharp crystal
Whole company burns down without Chris.
When I first emailed to see about even getting my account back after so many years, I was very pleasantly surprised to see the same name from before.
Had the same reaction when I came back. Was so happy to see Chris still around. This is definitely one of the very few companies where the people in billing are so beloved.
Absolutely agree. Chris fixed up my account (and characters) within maybe an hour or so.
That would never happen elsewhere.
I would like to thank @prime crag for kindly walking me through the new Sadie alteration process. You have my thanks 🙏
I just want to give a shout out to Davro, who came to premium tonight and spun a few for work. I was lucky and got spun but I really hadn't refined my alter and he was so sweet and came up with just the perfect way to do it. (I am usually really ready but tonight my brain was absent lol). So thank you Davro, I am delighted with my new chair! (I am not sure which GM is behind Davro, but BIG HUGS).
Itzel is awesome.
Big thanks to @narrow quest for quietly installing Team Jaboticaba's prize items in their respective places! The Ivasian temple in the Vipershroud now has a very nice wine to sample in the refectory. ❤️
Does... DELAY not inform you when it is complete?
not unless we manually check
The wine is a wonderful touch for an area that you know I love, love, love ❤️ Thank you to you and to Thandiwe, it's great to see some additional beauty in my beloved text swamp!
😭
TIL that my library win from the auction is listed under DELAYED. TY Shan ❤️ ❤️
(I am also very excited about the "new" old wine found hidden within Kraken Manor, set out for all members to enjoy! Their wine cellar clearly is the stuff of legends. Duvernith would be beside himself if he only knew. Thank you, Thandiwe!)
@upbeat spire went so far above and beyond -- I asked for a mile, and he ran a marathon. He woke up this morning and chose extra today. Thank you Naiken.
Massive shout out to @patent cape for my shop alter. It's absolutely amazing and my favorite thing ever. I'm gonna live in there now.
You are so welcome. You had great designs and I am glad we could bring them to life!
Thanks to the GM who saw me mention my briar bow had broken look messaging in #scripting and fixed it without me even ASSISTing! You're amazing!
Kudos to whomever fixed up the ranger trinkets to show what they are when analyzed! Thank you!
Oh man –– Thank you so much, GMs behind the scenes who made me this lovely tote and bookbag. They are awesome and I appreciate your guys' work! ❤️
Thanks to whomever (or multiples if it was) did the quick flip on my Premium Points weighting addition leaving me enough time to add on this service window.
Let's try that again. =p
I want to thank @warped bluff @restive vale for coming out tonight to work for us.
The back and forth between Hoorne and Sauv via announcements all day was hilariously fun and I could tell you two were having as much fun sending them as we were reading them.
I love the interaction and the playfulness. ❤️ ❤️
Special, mega super thanks to Casil for taking a mediocre concept and making it maaaaaaaaaaaaaagic. You are truly an artist, thank you. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Huge thanks to @upbeat spire, whom I always want to call Naikhen because of the Rumor Woods currency, for managing to transmute my staff into lor while I was at work! I can't log in on my phone, or rather I only get the loading screen, but I was on long enough for him to grab the staff and do the work. Amazing! ❤️
Thanks to @white totem for not only taking care of my AG change promptly during what I'm sure is one of the busiest days of the year, but noticing an issue which I and everyone else I talked to about it missed, and noticing that I accidentally padded it after redeeming the certificate. And, he was lovely and good-humored about all of it. Thank you!!!
Was totally my fault for confusing scripts and flourishes, but I wanted to extend my thanks to @arctic yoke and @fallow dawn for helping to sort out the confusion. Both were extremely cordial, kind, and helpful. I very much appreciate their assistance.
Just a quick shout out to @junior sandal for completing some private property work from the Grand Auction for me.
2nd on that. Just in time to start using it.
Well...Thanks to the powers that be that brought up McRiver's weapons and armor –– You have my gratitude 👍
Just wanted to hop in and say how much I am enjoying the energy wings on my Jaston cleric! The messaging is very well done and I'm having a great time spreading the light (in various forms) across my hunting zone!
My wife is similarly enjoying her darker version of the wings!
THANK YOU @spice jewel for fixing that long-standing bug with ear candy and erithians!!!
Agreed, thank you so much!
The situation concluded not in my favor, but I do appreciate the candor, patience, and help that was provided by @warped bluff addressing an issue that I was having. They took the time to dig in and ask around to find alternatives, however no options existed that would remedy my particular predicament. Regardless, the efforts and time were appreciated. And if that black ora scarab ever gets dislodged, I’m calling dibs.
Kaonashi is good people.
And also good eels.
I want to say thank you to both @agile spruce and @wraith hazel. I absolutely messed up and was resigned to the loss, but Azidaer went above and beyond to try and help me and Aiza delivered the news.
It was unexpected and very appreciated, thank you both so much. ❤️
You're welcome! REGISTER and MARK! 😄 ❤️
LISTEN. In my defense, I was literally like 2 days before going into the hospital and the following 2 months were a slew of in and out.
Things may have slipped through the cracks a bit, but a fresh round of "registering everything in the lockers" is on the docket for this weekend.
But also ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ and you're absolutely right!
I really want to thank @agile spruce, who was both patient and helpful during a recent Assist.
We were just talking about you so I wanted to come give you kudos @warped bluff (they're all good things said).
You're someone who always shows he cares, and you're an absolute joy to work with... whether on assists or GALD or just RP. And while only speaking for myself, I think many would agree that you're pretty darn awesome. 💚
You flatter me. Thank you. I have the privilege of working alongside a truly terrific GS team and the pleasure of doing so with ya'll.
Thank you so much for the warm fuzzy, @shadow lark ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
@shadow lark Thank you thank you thank you so much for the alteration yesterday morning. I forgot to ask for a particular 15/15/15 breakdown and you did exactly what I wanted anyways! You are so awesome!
@Order of Eternal Light - thank you so much for teaching me about life, love and the Arkati
@shadow lark Thankyas for looking at yet another of my Island of Misfit Broken "this is super weird" items. You didn't have to take the time, but you did. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much Fenkleth, Hoorne, and @ebon cove for a lovely little bit of RP at the end of the merchant session!
Thanks to @narrow quest for the amazing, like spectacular.. like hands down,jaw on the floor designs for my cutlery! So love it. Wow. You absolutely ROCK!
I wanted to send over some kudos to @fleet tiger for her cobbling merchant yesterday. I wasn't sure what to expect and she worked with me on my cobbling box and explained an issue with how I was coming up with concepts (pesky pluralization!) on them.
I appreciate the patience, so thank you!
I just want to give a shout out to Vanah and all involved in making the portable chairs (hugs Elidi too) able to go in the tents. I love it so much! No more sitting on the floor! lol Thanks guys!
Sending some well-deserved and earned kudos to Thandiwe and Azidaer, for helping me fix my own mistake ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
I felt like I was an Instacart shopper 😄
Hope They tipped 50%+
A widespread kudos to all the GMs who contributed to Zelia's Day of Warning! The announcements were hilarious, the monsterbold login skull struck just the right note of confusion for players without causing panic or anger, the cube was a nice touch, the RP in Solhaven was just right, the writing for the Zelian sisters was incredible... All in all, an impressive showing. Thank you for making it a fun day!!!
I have to do another one: Diriko (Sylinaar equivalent). Thank you for listening to players!
We've been shown maybe 5% of the new customs coming to Summit Academy, and I already need to say GREAT JOB to everyone who worked on them. There are a few I know I need to get, and I'm excited to see more.
Biggest great job to @karmic bluff, though, who had to QC it. I cannot even begin to explain what a huge task it was.
Massive kudos to @solid bane for saving my bacon! Literally! You know what you did! And also to @shrewd kindle for reasons.
Huge KBD kudos to @boreal shore for working so tirelessly on the plat migration 🧟♂️
A big wow, you rock to the incredible GM team we have working on Rumor Woods. You guys are squishing bugs faster than a meerkat. I haven't had any bugs myself, but wow.. I see you... Nice job. You guys are incredible. ⭐
A very big thank you to @warped bluff for super speedy Sadie work and follow up with a minor issue. Fantastic customer service and happy to be the guinea pig 🐝 ❤️
Always nice to get kudos for minor whoopsies. Thanks for being my 🐹 (there wasn't a guinea pig emote so enjoy a hamster)
Many thanks to @restive vale for work on beehives last night and @modern smelt for work on the bookcases! I love the hives my friends got, and my bookcase recipient is very happy with his 🥰
@wary raven Thank you for your kindness and assistance! 👻 ❤️ ✨
@bitter hazel Thanks for being so on top of the issues! The hugs were for you!
Shoutout to @restive valewho provided some...enlightenment...today. 🙂 Much appreciated!
A very very special thanks to Kaonashi for helping me get my furry critters back and all the other help! They are slippery little buggers and I'll definitely be putting them in a time out!!! Thanks for your amazing service, your cheery personality and your eagerness to lend a hand! It's always a treat to work with you in all capacities.
Big thanks to whoever moved my beehive! My banyan tree pocket herb gardens thank you too!
Very special thanks to Azlynne for the fun and entertaining exprience. It was very whimsical! The work to my item was straight forward and lovely. Thanks again!
Massive thanks to APM Estild for his assistance in striking the right balance for my nerve stave updates, GM Aergo and APM Isten for their very quick QC on said updates, and GM Ethereal for being my "oh god, how do we do this" sounding board as I meandered my way through some snarly (for me) combat stuff. @junior sandal @karmic bluff @spiral flicker @white totem <3
Thank you to @fluid gyro, @sand kernel, the Silver Gryphons, and the GMs who supported the Calvacade event! I hadn't planned to participate, but it was great fun doing so, I'm glad that I did, and I hope to be there next year. The other participants were incredible, and the event as a whole was classy and impressive -- the amount of behind-the-scenes work showed! Thank you for a fun evening!
I have no idea who this kudos should go to, but I've been noticing that some of my veola/CC/DTHs that have pluralized versions of things (like bugs!) update to the correct pluralization of things (i.e <adjs> will be ladybugs or butterflies where necessary.)
I can't even imagine the work that goes into handling all of that, but it really helps not having to design around it.
So thank you, invisible pluralizing fairy, you are amazing. ❤️
Also @random current for the update to the Fash'lo'nae's Tutelage disc, this is a great update that solves the timing issue of renewing.
AND since I already pinged you, the transmogrification clothing updates is also a fun new loot addition, already seeing a lot of fun and interesting items coming out. So thank you!
Oh my gosh! I was hunting in ME & got a Faithful Hound quest. No idea how it happened, but it was AWESOME! Thank you gm's for adding in such a fun, expected, interesting bonus to the game. 😃
Big mondo thanks to @restive vale and @modern smelt for bringing out Igges and Indres to alter all the property stuff this evening! Thanks much, even if I still can't get stuff from Evermore Hollow.
I want to take this time to thank @warped bluff for helping me out with the Sadie-tag-thingy item that I had. That was getting dusty!
Thank you 🤗
Shout out to @ebon cove for spotting me the 10k raikhen for the mount flourish match, extremely generous! Wasn't even originally planning to attend the auction, glad I changed my mind. Class act. (bonus shoutout to @modest raven for also offering!)
Right back at you, Kaetel, you're a mensch and have answered 10,000 of my questions bare minimum -- least I can do for you!
Thank you to Sadie for helping me get a couple things done in time for an important event. I was getting nervous, but you came through! ❤️
Finally able to play around with the Mounted Combat system and it's a lot of fun. Thank you for all the work in making it live!
@restive vale made me cry. 😄
Sure it wasn't Elysani?
Actually I thought it was Kaonashi at first 😄
So now they're triplets?! God help us
My dad has had a very bad health scare and prognosis is not good, Casil took a word cloud and made it into something I'm proud to wear.
The one bright shining moment in this poop sandwich of life. So yeah, teary-eyed just thinking about it.
i'm sorry to hear that, fyg, please let me know if you want to chat about it at all
Casilysaninashi....
Got it ✅
The merchanting lately has been on-point. Thank you all for coming and putting us out of our misery. ❤️
Also wanted to welcome back galdapalooza. It’s been much missed.
Huge thanks to GH Myerz and the GMs working in the background to help recover the items that were lost just 5 minutes before an event was going to start! I was panicking, not least of which because I had borrowed some things and I thought they were lost!
Overdue kudos for @rough agate and her wonderful monthly packages.
Kudos to @bitter hazel and @warped bluff for helping me with my Basketifier mishap! Thank you so much. ❤️
Happy to! Thank you for taking good care of it with REGISTER to make minor whoopsies a lot more fixable.
thank you to the wonderful person who handled Zxe's Sadie tag so quick! ❤️
I need to thank @bitter hazel and @warped bluff for saving the world today! My hiking pack ran off on me and not only did they find it for me, with everything still in it, Kaonashi scolded the pack sufficiently so it shan't run off again in the future. Thank you both so much!!!!!
Also giving thanks to @bitter hazel and @warped bluff for returning a neat mace I pawned by mistake! Reminder to MARK and REGISTER stuff immediately!
Seriously those two seem to be the dream team of item recovery 🙂
I'm just the scribe and pretty gaunt face you get to interact with. The credit lies with the folks who do hard part 😄
Back to work, Famine! 
Thanks @warped bluff for just sending a status update. Sorry I wasn't there for it, but really appreciate your communication. Crushing it.
I want to give some pretty big kudos to @limpid kindle for the work on Onslaughts, these are fun and challenging so great work to you and @warped bluff for the room painting (and everyone else on the team who's helped work on these, I am sorry if I don't know whoooo you arrrrrrre I'm sure @random current is involved in here somewhere).
But also, on top of that, just for being so on top of bugs and tweaks and requests and communicating. It's really appreciated. So... thank you! ❤️
(Aergo and Mestys, too! I may also be missing some folks. Oh, and Estild for putting up with our nonsense and supporting an idea this big.)
WELL THEN... let me just PING away!
@junior sandal @fossil copper @spiral flicker - Thank you all as well for all the work and support on onslaughts. ❤️
Super kudos to @warped bluff for being the monster behind my mask (Thank you for handling the invasion).
Kudos to Aiza for being a referral hero! Thank you from my alt and her basket of broken food lol.
@narrow quest is an amazing creative genius. Traiva is happily settled in the library she built for Tolwynn's private property. 
I will second that opinion! She has beautifully aided in Riend's dream of removing all oak paneling from the Perch. ❤️
Just dropping a quick thank you to @tribal narwhal for the confetti the other day for myself and my group. 🙂 And the gentle lightning bolts.
that was about the most seamless reboot I've ever experienced, tbh - even my dangerous ancient was waiting for me 👏 while a yellow announcement would have made it chef's kiss, I will take the win, thanks to the dev team for upgrading our stuffs!
