i just LLLLooooooove dts

Hey, that dt is cool, it was the first dt i ever walked in!

Not that DT's really bother me at all, but your point is valid and just.

I wouldn't mind DTs existing, but I think there should be some warning. Such as, when you enter a room where the north exit is a DT, you could get a message like, "The path to the north looks treacherous!"

hahaha, Die PukeScum!!!

hahahahahaha hahahah ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahhaaaa

fucking wimpy pukes

And besides, people who know how to get legend eq will very likely know almost all dt's and thereby its intent to get rid of legend eq is invalid.
Leaving the only reason why DT's exist is to annoy newbies who sparcely gathered some eq that seemed/was told to be quite good. So better get rid of em or make more of em recoverable.

DTs are old diku-mud feature (like room where 'thief suddenly stabs you in the back, YOU DIE!!!!'). They should be based on stats - like scout would avoid falling stoneplate due his high dexterity, and warrior could stop falling log on his head (in other hand wizard would figure out smarter traps and mechanics but would die to raw traps, such as falling off from cliff-edge:). It's ok we have dt's here, they can be avoided anyways via learning areas;but dt's should give chance (other than escaping from them) to different character types... They too silly atm.

HAHA

Any of you geeks ever misportaled to DT?
I did, and saved it, haha! And I was in full shining thats time *whistle*

ROFL I would love to see that log Astar :P

Wunce i saved a dt, then a trout killed me and i had a full bag of biscuit which just goes to proove that fishes are more danger ous than dts and i hope a shark eat 'em all cuz i hate 'em. Thankyew and don't even ask cuz i dont got a log of it.

Misporting into a dt is fun, i've done it twice so far, think i even posted a log here about it... :P

Hehe, came out of nowhere, huh ?)
I usually read the room descriptions when wandering around an area unknown to me, but it's a shame that the room names don't even give a hint of a dt at this particular case.

In the ancient and dangerous wold of Arda there should be another ways to die than to get killed.

I ave story too ya know: once had sack full of piez (cuz I was hungry,angry), and then this god-damn-rat-made-me-spam-to-dt thingie happened. Pfft.

Prist, I'm talking about misPORTALing not misPORTing. That gives you some stylepoints, hehe

Guess what Fenolan - if you look n in a room where there is a dt n, you will get a message in most cases.

exactly.. there IS a msg where a dt is. but then fun part is in moria where all room got descs when you look at em. cackle

and porting in to dts are nothing. i once dismounted from an beast into a dt. was a bug tho but anyway =)

Also note than you always see DT room name when typing 'exits', even if it is dark and you cannot see normal room names.

Yes, I know you can usually see DTs by looking in their direction, but this doesn't make it any less ridiculous or format-abusive to go hurdling off of the cliff north of Canyon Trail as if you couldn't see it there and wouldn't do everything to avoid it, unless chased in or blinded.

My favorite dt is the one near grandma's. Hands down the funniest dt ever. ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

dts are also to discourage spamming and to incourage map knowledge, two things which are good.

I love the dt's that go Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Splat. you are dead...sorry
Har Har Har!

But honestly, we do have trolls to get rid of legend eq, so screw dt's!

We don't have eqeating trolls any more *frolic* so I say more dts in game! and for those who said that experienced players never dt and never lose eq in dts, well, go look http://www.mume.net/showlogs.phtml?id=2024&start=0&limit=10&name=Courage&lstart=0 :))))

Keep the DT's like they are! At least some risk involved when exploring unknown areas.

I misported into dt on far port with 99% teleport with 6 pbs a other total fullset shit :P And i didn't saved it, (gig Astar).
Well keep dts as they are.

Why don't somone post a complete collection of death trap descs? :) Tell me wich one is your favuorite? I know wich one mine is.

Yeah ! Keep the dt's alive.. its really funny to loose one year supply of scrolls + max set + notracks. Go dt's !

3 nastiest DT's to mention: Durin's bridge, e Redhorn (arghhh, I _always_ keep spamming into it..), 2e turnback in sewers (easy to spam in too).

they should make that ridable inn on gway a ridable dt =). that would prolly give away lots of eq. i remember when 5 legend orcs jumped into the dt at mormaeg since there was no deathcrie. that really sucked btw =)

Yeah Fredde, that inn on greenway blows, I hate builder of that zone!
Another one annoying place is funguses on ABR, I just cannot pass without spamming in to them *cough*

ASTAR: We are fungi, not funguses, ya dimwitted slop-monger and next time ya try spamming through we gonna strike ya dead and yer fetid corpse will become a playground for our spore. GLORY TO FUNGI!!!!!!! TODAY ASTAR, TOMORROW THE WORLD!!!!!

-SPLAT!- you mean?=)

damn that didnt look good, cant make em letters go in a vertical direction by just typing *ENTER* button, *pout*

The *splat* place has by far the best description, but overall redhorn dt is by far the most scary one, i've lost 6-7 fullsets in there, durin's bridge can be nasty if u spam too much and turnback is just some magical dt, each time you thing that 'aha, 1e of here is that dt, i won't fall for it' you somehow end up pressing that e key... oh, and i fakking hate that OiE main dt, pukes always tend to walk in there on awful hps when i'm trying to finish them...

yeah that gway inn should be dt, we thought about the same thing 5 years ago :)

eh... dt... yah! that's about it!

oya... and it's a death TRAP for a reason... trap... trap... trap (can you hear the echo as you fall down?)

But imagine what profit this inn at gway would bring if some dwarf would operate there... I mean, you run in to this like always.

Hehe, GW inn and ridable DT? :P That would be cool. I know that a lot of ppl visit that room while running north. Including me :P

ok ok so dt's are fine, how about 50 day mandos sleep? what fucking purpose does that serve other than to totally piss you off even more then you are from dying already i think that was a soooooo not needed change i remember getting like 15 mins worth and being pissed now it's DAYS RL which is retarded imho.

Mandos Sleep is there so that players will think of their real lives. Instead, they make another character...

My favourite, for reasons too embarrassing to recount:

Flames and molten rock swirl around you, as you plunge toward the centre of
chaos. An evil laugh rings in your brain, the last coherent thought you
experience before exploding into flame above a lake of fire.

Anyone guess where it is? :-)
