    SIDE NOTE -- I believe I made it all the way thru book 9 of the Jordan WoT series, but after reading the words "dry washed his hands" at least 40,000 times in the series....... and having to trudge through books 7, 8 & 9 with very little info gained on the overall story line.. I gave up. Books 1-5 did indeed set the WoT series up to be in the top tier of fantasy books/series ever written, but after that... blah

    ps - TRUDGE
    verb (used without object)
    1. to walk, especially laboriously or wearily: to trudge up a long flight of steps.
    –verb (used with object)
    2. to walk laboriously or wearily along or over: He trudged the deserted road for hours.
    –noun
    3. a laborious or tiring walk; tramp.

    And thats exactly how I felt reading most of the 3000+ pages of 7 8 & 9

    then he can go back to doing...... whatever else he's doing that i don't care about.
    Actually I have emailed him asking him about this and he replied saying .. and I quote

    "I don't have any control over the publisher and how they distribute my books in e-book format. Quite frankly, I dont even own a Kindle."

    LOL
  4. This is the exact reason I use mule marketeers... I can 10stack on a toon I never play and just wait it out.. If the price was up there once, it will be again in most cases.
    The things I know I can sell quick and for a profit right away I just put up for sale on my daily toons to collect the quick buck

    If you are talking about your master account, and yes people have gotten this problem resolved from what Ive read
  6. from the Wiki
    If you attack while Cloaked, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you still maintain a Defense bonus to all attacks.

    Can anyone tell me what the base of that defense is and if it functions exactly like Stealth or does it retain a higher defense power than Stealth after being discovered? I ask this because....

    from the Wiki regarding Stealth
    If, however, you attack while using this power, you will be discovered and will lose your stealth and some of your defense bonus

    Not true - plenty of fair warning was given about the 7YEARS rewards, and also.. all you have to do is manually renew before your current sub runs out...

    from his site for those interested...

    DRAGON TIME

    No. Sorry. Not done yet.

    I'm close, though. Watch this space. When the book is done, you will read it here.

    Meanwhile... there is news. Big news. The end is in sight, at long long last, and we're close enough so that my editors and publishers at Bantam Spectra have set an actual publication date.

    A DANCE WITH DRAGONS will be in your favorite bookstore on
    TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2011


    Yes, I know. You've all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them... well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like.

    This date is different. This date is real.


    Cant wait !
  12. I hear Father Xmas footsteps coming towards this thread as I type (with Je_Saist not far behind)

    As a side note, using the gladiators in the arena can also unlock even more badges LOL

    How odd - I had those names not long ago and they suddenly became genericized....
  17. 30+ toons and none of them have hasten (although a couple probably should)

    You will find this in a lot of other MMOs as well...
