I don't mind the plot being slow. It took me a few days at the beginning to get into it. I wasn't even sure I wanted to, this is the first puzzle type plot I've gotten involved in. And it seemed so confusing with the mapping, finding pieces, etc.

I think TNT is trying to let people catch up and at least get their tablets completed/prophesy read/avatar. No, people this late won't get to move sand or blocks, but it looks like there's going to be other things to do.

The mummy I got on the first page of chapter 6, but I think (and from what others have said on the boards) that this new BD challenger is for DoN - not part of the plot. I'm not even trying to battle it, difficulty is 550!

Go to the Lost Desert and click on the little footprints in the upper right hand corner - that'll get you to the builders page.

As I am not good with source codes and things, I'm mentioning this in hopes someone will do it

I know it's possible that they hide things in the source code, one avatar comes to mind when I say this. So isn't it possible that they could be hiding something in the news? Has anyone checked this out? I find it odd that it's released already. (already meaning it was there when I woke up about 5 am NST)

Is it also possible that they may update throughout the day? I've never personally seen them do this but it's a possibility right?

And I'm with whoever said there may be a clue we are missing. As much as I want to think that TNT is laughing at us, I honestly don't think they would make those that are right "on top" of things wait this long for something. There has to be something out there. I know I'm not helping as I have no idea what that something may be, but I've tried everything I can think of. I'm thinking it's somewhere in source codes ... my reasoning is I can't check it out LOL

I have the quasalan mummy as a BD challenger, he has 550 str and equips a regulation meridell crossbow, a haunted shield and a jade scorchstone which was enough to stomp Lenny_mas_Grande's butt.

All he says in the battledome is "Kill..."

Oh and you fight him in the stone dome, which seemed odd at first, but I guess the desert doesn't have it's own BD and haunted woods is the next closest, both physically and theme-wise (undead and all that).

Mummy sucks mainly because he ruined the coolness of how the DoN trophies were going.

Worse trophy since Sloth clone.

Still nothing going on? Meh, once we get back to work, just be more yurble spittingin our face from all the yelling.

BTW, if I may ask, did all you guys make those symbol sigs? O_o

I'm going to a rock festival during the weekend... I hope TNT doesn't decide to finish this plot this weekend.
Anyway... it looks like it will last for ever now, but you never know what TNT is thinking

Arrggggghhh. Are you supposed to get scarabed when you speak the correct prophecy to the faerie?

Wed Oct 05, 2005 4:22 pm

Yes, that's the reward for all your hard work.

One of the posters whose name is lost to me made a page with all the symbols for people to use as sigs during the block moving to help people know who was looking for what and they posted the link in one of the way long ago threads. I tried to find more details for you, but wading through the threads is too much for me. Hopefully either the person responsible, or one of the people using the sig will be better able to direct you. Sorry.

Well, I don't see anything in source code on news page. They are completely random with the news. At one time they promised to start releasing it at a set time... but that didn't work out too well.

Don't know if anyone wants to use them - but I got bored waiting.

Time is a reletive construct. It all depends on your speed and what plane of existance you are in. In other planes, like the one Sakhmet was blasted to, 'time' could be running in completely different ways to what we perceive. Also, if you were jeting around Virtupets or Kreludor in your space ship, 'time' around you would appear to go faster. Since we all know that TNT is completely out there, therefore we must conclude that they operate on a completely different scale of 'time'. Therefore, we can conclude that they are most likely from another plane of existance where 'time' has a completely different meaning.

Either that or they are: just lazy, wanting to torture us, or waiting until the rest of the world has caught up with the new features to release something new.

Has anyone fought a Qasalan mummy? I still can't snag him.

I fought and beat him
And I do like the trophy!

Uh-oh. I think I flubbed. Umm, I spoke the correct prophecy to the statue, and then told ot the wrong one to get out. I waited my 40 mins. Then I went back to get my scroll. Umm, I remember someone saying that on the earlier threads. Was it a joke? Cuz I didn't get mine.
