Tonight, at around 9 pm Eastern time, we will be holding conference and making a major announcement.
Enjoy,
Splork
Its not a wipe / Sloth IV / etc, I hope?
I’m not 5x40 yet and not retired, just taking a break for educational purposes.
No..I have recently made several contributions to the game. It’s why you haven’t seen me ranting lately on the crier…with the guidance of Jake, i will be taking over a majority of duties. I hope everyone likes the new direction I plan on taking the game and invite their friends to come back to play and try to get new people to show up as well. Contrary to what a few Immortal’s have suggested, I am NOT changing the name to TapMUD. There will not be a pwipe nor am I planning one. However, some immediate changes will possibly throw alot for a loop but all I ask is that you bear with me.
Tap
:lol:
I take it from Shyla’s post, the major announcement = full p.wipe?
I am still setting up new PC and have not installed mud client yet..
Game over man.
buy a copy of WOW and come to Blackwater raiders realm..look up Autolycos and I will power-level you
I has me a rogue you now :-)
can someone please respond?
..feeling kinda sick about seeing 7-8 years wiped out.. would be helpful to see an official post about it here from the admin, and reasons etc, rather than having to ask in-game over and over, or be told second- or third-hand with the invariable misinterpretations…

Wondered where that pirate Auto had been hiding.
I just finished building a new PC that can handle pretty much anything - including Crysis on high settings.. and I haven’t even clocked the CPU up yet lol :) ..beast.
It has been announced that the entire playerbase will be wiped clean. Character Names and Passwords will remain for one month.
Sloth3 will return as “Sloth” with improvements, as promised by Immortals.
Personally I do not like having 6 years worth of work being wiped with the stroke of a key. But I do not think that we have a whole lot to say about it.
I have met alot of very neat people and I hope that I can call many of them friends. I may pop back in once in a while, but I am in the same boat with Shyla, I do not think I have the time or energy to start over at this point.
This game takes both players and immortals to make it work. The immortal staff has done MANY things to improve this. The one thing that I would hope that is added to Sloth4 is take input from the players.
Good Night all.

Shutdown by Splork.
!SECOND HAND! Summary: Minutes ago, when Splork shut down the server, there was a complete and irreversable player wipe. Vaults and palaces are gone. Clans are gone. Eq is lost. Your chars and levels are gone.
You may log in using your old name and password to create a new character – your old names are saved for you.
When the mud reboots, sometime tomorrow (afternoon-ish), there will be no more Slothmud III, only ‘Sloth.’ Every char will eventually be able to access all 8 classes, and the additional avatar abilities.
Changes have been made to various skills and spells, the eq system, the stats system (no more rolling!), and various other asundry changes. Rewards will be offered to the fastest char to 1x40, 2x40, etc.
Log in tomorrow and check it out.
– End of line.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Shoulda sold my chars when I had the chance huh. LOL.
Thanks for the post Sheng.
No more rolling? How does that work?
Guess it doesn’t matter.
can someone please respond?

I’m sure we’ll see plenty of these over the next week, but really, what other options are there? Eventually, it will cease to exist, for one reason or another. Be glad you got to spend 7-8 years being entertained for free. Emotionally, I left sloth and my characters behind a long time ago. I’ve spent a lot more years on sloth than I have any other pasttime I’ve had, and for that I’m thankful. If and when they decide not to bring it back up, I’ll go find something else to spend my time on. My obituary isn’t going to list my accomplishments on sloth, and I won’t be giving my family the best life I can because of the effort I put into sloth. The people are enjoyable to be around, and the game keeps me entertained. Neither the admin nor the game owes me anything for the time I’ve spent on it, though.
What is going ON? Shyla, send me some kind of contact, I do not know how to talk to you outside of the game and now it is GONE!
guess I was right after all huh splork, and here you were blowing me smack saying it was not determined yet when it has been for the past month or 2. oh well I’ll come back tomorrow and be a bigger pain in the neck than before just to keep you on your toes

I just hate when Splork gets serious. Always gotten me into a bit disadvantageous position, compared to other players and to my former self :)
Still, had guts to get outss that.

ffs shut up you freaking moron.
apparently i am not the only one that is thoroughly sick and tired of ya55hole’s constant trolling and invasion of threads with pictures that are usually totally irrelevant to the conversation. (yeah, yeah i know - pot/kettle/black - i don’t do it constantly nor do i do it with the specific intent to troll like ya$$hat does)
“why don’t you make like a tree and get out of here?” -young biff –>back to the future part II
The problem is half you. He enjoys berating you because he always gets a lame but passionate reaction from you. I enjoy how he ticks you off so much, and your responses… and I have nothing against you… it’s just so lame it’s funny. He drops the bait, you bite every time. Call a truce, treat him as an equal, problem solved. It worked for me.
What bait and trolling are you talking about?
I noticed a nice coincidence in Sloth’ messages and changed them in order to cheer everyone up.
No idea how that can be treated as offtopic or worse.
All my pics always in proper thread and related to the topic.
And always those two came up with insults etc, most likely just assert themselves at my expence.

Damn, now there is proof i logged back in
I hope i don’t get wiped now!!!!
I guess this is the place to post, welcome to SlothIV. I had some spare time last week, so I logged into the crier. This was the first time I’ve been to the crier since January 09. Just a short note: life has been busy lately, I relocated again in Dec 08. This was the first of my relocations where I’ve had to sell a house, and it’s been a fun time to try to sell a house. Also, we had a major software project going on at work, I spent about 10 weeks traveling during the first three months of 09 and workload has been higher than normal since. I haven’t been active for some 6 months but I wouldn’t say I was ‘Retired’ by any definition.
So I login during July to find that we’ve had a reset around April. Of course there’s the initial shock and feeling of loss. Everyone has to deal with that in their own way. For me it’s maybe not such a big deal. I’ve been through this with every version of sloth, and I knew even during Sloth1 that my character was stored on a server that I don’t have any control over. There are some interesting concepts to think about here, and they are concepts that every gamer who plays online games will have to deal with eventually. I appreciate that Sloth is free and run by volunteers, which changes some aspects, but even the paid games will run into these same questions.
Welcome to SlothIV. I’ve read enough of the forum and spent a few days online, so I think I can post an early opinion. I like most of the changes I’ve seen. Also, I really appreciate that the admin have posted a lot of information - how the max stat system works, how we gain regen points when we reach certain levels, etc. Some of this would be a pain to try to ‘discover’ as players.
I really wanted to post to say “I’m here!” and “Thanks!”. Again I appreciate that Sloth is free and run by volunteers. I may not agree with every policy decision, but I have unending respect for the admin that keep this game going.
Best Regards,
Charles
Avatar! One of the few gentlemen of sloth… You playing a druid again?
I may play casually again in a couple of weeks. The 14th of August is the settlement date for my first house… new phase in life, good times.
CHARLES!
JONATHAN!
Congratulations on buying a house, it was a major turning point for me as well.
I’ve started Plato as a warrior prime and Avatar as a cleric prime. Both are still newbies, Plato is closing in on 30 prime. I haven’t started a druid yet, and I’m not eager to start a bunch of different characters. I’m working harder this year, I guess because of the poor job market (!) so I still haven’t had much time to play.
It’s very cool to see everyone again, though.
