Hello,

Some people from xuo might still know me. I am an administrator at XS4ALL games. We noticed that there are latency issues to the xs4all games servers.

This problem is not only for people from the USA or Australia. But also for XS4ALL customers and other people within the Netherlands.

To fix this, we will need some tracerts to games05.xs4all.nl but only from the people who have pings of >200. It could take a week to ten days to fix, because the people at XS4ALL are very busy.

When it is fixed, everyone should have a normal connection. As in the same to other hosts in the netherlands.

  Fable, the darkelf

Many years ago the Darkelf race lived somewhere in the Wastelands away from all humans. Born with a necklace around the neck wich grants them a new chance for everytime they fell to the ground they could train very hard to become a strong race and protect each other through hard times. the darkelves have looks like the human and speak the same language but their strenght is at a higher rate and their skincolor is very dark. Darkelves also react alot quicker than a human and are born with the knowledge of fighting and magery. Even though the Darkelves were strong, they wern't too many to be able to stop a big raid that attacked them one night. There were to many of the bandits and they were very skilled in combats and they seemed to know that darkelves couldnt resurrect without the necklace, so they paralyzed the darkelves, removed the necklace and killed the darkelves. One by one the darkelves fell to the ground for the last time.. all except for a little boy. That boy managed to run away from the raid without anyone noticing it. Out in the wild without anyone he didn't know what to do so he looked up at the stars one night and said: What is my purpose with life if not live with the my own kind?
He then saw a falling star pass by to the north. He decided it was a sign to go that way and he would find the star that had fallen. He travelled many days without food and being a little child it became very hard for him to continue travell but he was determined to find the star. 15 days passed and he was still without food and he couldnt continue. He passed out and fell to the ground..
5 days passed and the kid woke up once again.. but he wasn't in the wastelands. he was in a cabin. there were some men sitting around a table and started to brag about their adventures of how the managed to plunder different villages and so on. The little boy went up and saw food at the table but was afraid to just take without asking so he asked a man: Sir.... may i have an apple? The man shouted: Well Hello there little one! Had a good sleep? Of course, eat as much apples as you want! You must be starving to death!
The kid ate as if he hadn't seen food before. the men started to tell stories about the gods but the little kid was unfamiliar to these gods, so he asked who these gods were. The man who gave him the apple told him all about Oden, the most important god and his eight legged horse, the two ravens, hugin and munin who watched everything on earth and reported all to Oden. they told him all about Valhalla and they taught him everything they knew. He even learned to speak their language. One day one of the leaders told the now grown up darkelf, what happened to you that night we found you? The kid told the whole story and they were surprised of what happened. Then one asked: Lad, whats your name?
My race called me D'lor dreankhen. They had a hard time to pronounce that so they agreed his name now was Fable, as from stories. Fable lived many years with the vikings and trained all the time and they were impressed about his skills. One day he even managed to beat some of the strongest. But he never managed to beat the four leaders. He was determined to show them that he could be stronger than them so he trained for all he had to give. One day he wanted to challenge the head leader but he had left to the sacred place where only the four leaders were allowed to be. Fable decided to go out in the woods and hunt for some boar to eat. He was gone for days but when he returned he saw the whole village was ruined, in ashes. Fable was devastated. Everywhere he had lived turned into ashes sooner or later. He didnt have any traces of who did this so he couldnt demand revenge. Instead he left to search for his old roots. He wanted to know his background more. Fable encountered many dangers and noticed that his Necklace glowed everytime he was in a near-death experience. He realized the necklace was his source for resurrecting so he took care of his precious item very well.
17 years have now passed and Fable went to the bank of Britain where he heard some strange people talking a weird language.. but he recognized the language! It was the ancient nordic language wich the Vikings spoke! He went closer and realized it was the old leaders who he once wanted to prove his strenght for. He spoke to them and they all regained old memories. But he didnt remember the leaders having blue skin. They told him everything that had happened the past 17 years. He told them as well what he had done. Once again the Vikings were rejoined!


i would like to have a skin reward (2530)if its ok and a diamond necklace with color (2557) and named The Darkelves Light

  The Establishment of a new Organization

Akatsuki is a criminal organization. The organization is composed of some of the most powerful criminals in existence, including traitors from villages and towns.

Akatsuki is a small organization by most standards; at any given point, the group has at most ten members and an uncertain number of agents. Though they seem to have a decent network of agents in various towns and villages, these individuals are usually under some form of mind-control. The members of Akatsuki are all S-class criminals ( S class is the highest rank. then it moves down to A class. B, C and D class, D class being the weakest), the most wanted men in existence and also the most dangerous. These men are only loyal to themselves and the people who they can benefit off. But in some cases this isn’t even true, some members in the past are known for even killing one of their own for personal gain.

The exact criteria for admission into the group are unknown, but extraordinary fighting abilities and ruthlessness seem to be prerequisites. Unique traits (genetic or otherwise) also seem to be a common factor among its members. Two of the more prominent members so far, Duke and Paulzar, both undertook some sort of challenging task at the time of them entering the group. Duke was responsible for murdering his whole clan including his family but he spared his little brother’s Spaaron’s life, around the time he is believed to have entered, but it can't be said for certain that the two events were linked.

Akatsuki doesn't seem to have any strict organizational structure, though its members do maintain several unique practices. They rarely seem to meet in person, instead communicating through telepathy and astral projection when necessary. The members of Akatsuki seem to have little consistency in their individual goals. They only group together because Akatsuki's overall goal in some way benefits the individual goals of its members. Akatsuki members don't particularly value the lives of their comrades, either; a member's death in itself will not bother the other members, but rather the fact that someone was able to kill that member.

Akatsuki's overall goal is world domination. To achieve that goal, the leader, Joe Black also known as Pain, has set up a three-step process to work their way to it. First, they plan to obtain a large amount of money to support their organization. Second, they plan to set up a mercenary group loyal to no village or town. To build their reputation, they plan to accept any mission below the usual cost, which is covered by the excess amount of funds earned in the first part of their plan. Because there haven't been any wars in Britania for some time due to Lord Blackthorn and his minions dominating and anihilating all life within Britain, bringing all life to a cease and all walls build by Lord British to a crumble, the new established villages and towns such as Minoc and the newly rebuilt Britain cannot afford to charge such low prices, leading the smaller towns and villages to hire Akatsuki over the more expensive established villages and towns such as Serpents Hold and Trinsic. By using their abilities to overpower most towns and villages, Akatsuki can start wars and then immediately quell them, solidifying their reputation and convincing every country to depend on them, thus cornering the market into slave labor. Without any business, the other villages and business’ will collapse due to a lack of funds. Finally, after Akatsuki is the only major force existing, they can easily conquer the other established islands such as Nejulem.

Each Akatsuki member wears a single, unique ring, and no two members wear a ring on the same finger. Each member wears their ring on the same finger as the spot they occupy on the giant statue located in their secret base where no one has been able to locate since the organizations foundation. In total, there are ten rings, but Akatsuki only possesses eight. The rings seem to have some special significance; Spaaron believed that he could become a member after finding Paulzar’s ring, once he was murdered by an unknown member of Akatsuki, but was revived by Joe Black as his skills with herbs and regeants have never been witnessed in two hundred years, and although Zetsu an agent working for Akatsuki claims it's not as easy as that, Spaaron does indeed become a member. Amber reinforces the significance of the rings after losing both his arms in a battle between him and twelve goblins by expressing more concern for finding the arm with her ring, rather than finding the arm itself.

Akatsuki members dress in similar clothing: a long, dark cloak bearing red clouds and a red interior with a chin-high collar. All members also wear purple nail polish on their fingernails and toenails. Large conical straw hats with small spike-like bells hanging from them also seem to be part of their outfit, but they discard them after being discovered. This seems to be an optional piece of the Akatsuki outfit, likely to further disguise their identities.

Basic Items for Guild Role Play:
- the large straw asian hat (pretty sure runuo has this as I have seen it before)
- a blackrock coloured robe (I know pure black isnt offered but in due time maybe this can be attained?)
- a coloured ring (any colour the member asks for, providing it isnt a staff colour. Members CANNOT have the same coloured ring as another member)

To CRAFT
It would be just great if you introduce fence round the houses.
and introduce to craft wooden fences to carpentry and metal fences to blacksmithing....

PvM

More interesting for me:
It would be just great if there will be more leather armor types with magical features - that would make PvP and PvM much more interesting as well as the tailors crafting some like :
trolls armor (stamina regeneration),
snakes armor (poison resistance),
red dragon armor (chance of fire spells reflection),
ice dragon armor(refelct paralyze)
or others armors and properties
and so on and so forth.

Here is my idea; if you got a skill transfer, you can't ***** and complain about skill gain being too fast, or things being too easily gained. If you didn't get your skill transfers you wouldn't be whining like little girls.

So I think people with imports should lose their right to complain like 5 year old girls who lost their dollys.
