Trading

Timestamp: 00:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Logged by: One of many doctors
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: I'm at trader Harry's hut in York and decide to trade gold coins for gems. He says:
You ask to trade your gold coins for his gems. Trader Harry makes you an offer, "Gems are in short supply so I want more than the usual price. I want thirty four gold coins for a gem"

When I try to trade gems for gold coins he says: You ask to trade your gems for his gold coins.

Trader Harry makes you an offer, "I'll give you four gold coins for a gem"

Comments
Are you a new/old trader, is he happy to see you or bored with your presence in his store? Are you using a native character? Either of these conditions could result in over the top price differences, or it could just be a bug! --Simon 15:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Probably old Outsider. He keeps saying something about how there's an entire island to explore, but I don't see how that can account for a 850% price difference. --One of many doctors 01:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
It's a "feature" of the trading, although it does seem a little harsh. --Simon 12:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Contact list numbers

Timestamp: 21:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Logged by: Frisco
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: My contact list for player id #74 somehow got 52 contacts on it. I can't add anymore - the contacts.cgi page says: "You have 52 added so far and can add -2 more." - but i was wondering if there was a bug that allowed me to get 52 contacts, or if the restrictions that were in place weren't effective until a couple days ago (i don't recall when i last added to my list), or if there's some off-by-two math errors going on. I counted up the number of contacts i have, and indeed there are 52.

Comments

  • Restrictions have been in place from the start. Probably just a buglet and I've a fairly good idea where. --Simon 13:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


Sharpening Stone Glitch

Timestamp: Jan. 06 2006(UTC)
Logged by: Earl Madness
Status: new
Severity: medium
Description: sharpening stones don't dissapear when I use them.

Comments
This isn't a bug, it's normal. You wouldn't normally use an oilstone once and throw it away. However, perhaps sharpening stones should wear out after a number of uses. Might be worth proposing on the forum or wiki suggestion page. --Simon 19:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


Your camp is right here, in a ruin

Timestamp: 05:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: A new character I have is being told that 'Your camp is right here', however, they're currently in a ruin quite some distance from their settlement. Leaving the ruin results in a more accurate 'Your camp is a great distance north-east.'

Comments
Should have been fixed a couple of weeks back. --Simon 22:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


Two shot

Timestamp: 16:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Nosimplehiway
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: Two issues, one minor, one fairly major, but short lived. First, I have a character who maintains an area of jungle, constantly keeping it clear of regrowth. Doing this for a few weeks I have gotten a feel for how fast the jungle regrows. Is it just me or has it been regrowing much faster lately? I'd estimate about twice as fast. Secondly, and more seriously, last night I tried to log in and the main page allowed me to creat a new character, but not log in as an existing character. I tried in both IE and firefox, but neither worked. It seems fixed now, but I figured I'd report this just in case it's something that comes and goes.

Comments
Jungle growth was modified just after Christmas to include an interesting feature (that no-one seems to have spotted yet). I did accidentally make it grow rather faster than previously but it should be back to normal again. The failure to login bit is probably due to session cookies not being set for the right domain. If you go to the main page and login there, it should work. Sometimes going to the game.cgi url directly might get the wrong domain associated with the cookie. --Simon 22:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


Can't pick or change clans

Timestamp: 13:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Crowjane and all alts
Status: new
Severity: med
Description: The edit profile page neither allows me to change my clan nor pick more than one clan.

Comments
Visit the relevant clan page, join the clan by clicking the button. Visit another clan page, click the join button. By default, the primary clan will be the first one you joined, but using the edit profile page, you can change your primary clan to be the other one. This is slightly different to how the edit profile clan section used to work, but given that there are more restrictions possible on the clans now, it seemed a logical change. --Simon 22:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


Haggling Text when Selling

Timestamp: 23:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: When you're selling items to a trader, if you have haggling you get a message about the trader not prepared to lower his prices (IIRC). Shouldn't it be that the trader isn't prepared to pay more?

Redirect on login to //game.cgi

Timestamp: 05:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: When you login to Shartak, the redirect often takes you to http://www.shartak.com//game.cgi (double slash before game.cgi), while a quick refresh while get you to http://www.shartak.com/game.cgi this seems possibly a quick bug to fix.

This isn't a problem for the average user - but for those of us with greasemonkey scripts it can be problematic - and avoiding a refresh of the page would seem desirable?

Comments
I was to post it myself, quite an annoying one - Lama.


Don't get XP when hitting someone with glancing blow

Timestamp: 21:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Che, slayer of Arminius.
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: When attacking Charles the Dead, I noticed I only received 1 XP when I hit him for 3 damage. That isn't the bug. It was when I hit him with a glancing blow I didn't get any XP. This may be a bug, or it could be whatever.

Buying Items over Inventory limit

Timestamp: 03:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: While I don't think I could trade for more items to carry, it was possible for me to buy (with gold) the item putting my invsize at 72 / 70. This seems wrong?

Item multiplication in holes

Timestamp: 13:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Xintlaer
Status: new
Severity: critical
Description: I dug the maximal depth of hole right south of the pirate shaman. Then I dropped a blowpipe into it, yet it didn't dissapear from my inventory, so I repeated it three times. Afterwards I filled the hole with earth up to the top, and the blowpipe was still in my inventory. When I dug back into the ground I found 3 blowpipes... I believe that this may lead to item multiplying and players multiplying their gold to insane amounts.

Tracking: A body is right here!

Timestamp: 06:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: I was tracking a large stag, and killed it. Afterwards, I looked for tracks in the same square and was told:


Dense jungle with a few tall trees and plenty of vines hanging from them.
Also here is the body of a large stag.
...
There are a few tracks here.
A large stag is right here!
I have to assume the large stag that was 'right here' was the body... Which doesn't seem right?
