• Edocsil Message of the Day (MoTD)
Edocsil
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-09-01 14:59:47

The past few months, Edocsil has seen a struggle to make its monthly donations. That, combined with my own personal lack of participation and interest, is now causing me to close the site. We've made a good run- 3 pretty solid years is a great time for a LotGD server to survive and a lot of you have been here even longer than that, coming from EragonLive. Whether you're a new player or an old, thank you for the time you've spent here.

The current month's lease for the server expires this month on
September 5th. Though it may stay up for a day or two past that time, that will be the official shut-down date. The site rules are still in place until the site goes offline and anyone who breaks the rules will be punished accordingly. We will ease up on the advertising rules, however, if you spam the chats or other players with nothing but adverts for other sites, you will be muted/banned. I understand this short notice so I'm trying to help you guys out so you can meet back up with your friends- please don't take advantage of that.

Katara and Charmah have been working on a new site and I hope that you will go there and support their efforts.

Megiddo is based off the stories of its Co-Founders, Charmah and Katara, and takes place in a world where Demons and Angels battle for the right to claim Heaven. Members will be expected to role play in most cities. If you're joining from Edocsil, it is suggested you use your username for that site, though you can change it if you wish. No stat transfers (Sorry, it got voted down).

Thank you again,

WitchyWoman


Add-- To celebrate a great run (thanks Witchy!)-- I've turned on the 'crazy day' feature. :) Az.

UPDATE 2: New site: http://megiddo.freehostia.com/home.php?

New accounts can't be created yet, but soon :)

The link may or may not change, but probably not recently. If you have facebook, you can keep updated at this link:

Haidee2010-06-25 20:20:19
In first place for this round of the pyramid context is the Celestial Demons! Congratulations on finally beating out the XIII Blades! Their prize is 25 mil gold and 18k gems!

In second place is
Souls with a prize of 20 mil gold and 15k gems, followed up by The XIII Blades, prize of 15 mil gold and 10k gems.

Happy pyramid hunting, everyone. =]

Please...
! Yoda Azman2010-06-21 14:00:46
Site rule 3…do not advertise other sites. A number of petitions and YOMS today have been advertising another site. The person who sent the original batch has now been banned so he has more time to play on his own site. If other players do the same, we’ll extend you the same courtesy. Play elsewhere, sure, just don’t use Edocsil as your recruitment grounds.

Server and Pyramids
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-06-13 15:54:39

We have been using too much memory lately which has been causing the downtime. No one has been trying to hack the site >.>

I'll be going through the modules to see what we could do without so if something disappears, that's why. If I mistakenly remove something that you all do use, just petition and it can be added back. Majority rules, however so if only one or two of you miss it, sorry.

Another thing I'm considering is to remove a village or two. I don't think they all get used that much and the modules can easily be relocated.

The first thing that I'm taking down is the offsite forum. I might look into a Wiki page or something similar to post the information there, but for right now, it's taking up space that could be used for the game itself.

Also, just to let you know, I'm running a full backup as we speak, so if the site slows down over the next couple hours, that's probably why.

Witchy

! Yoda Azman2010-04-15 09:30:51
Aparently many of you have forgotten this rule... please review it. I suppose I could start posting those of you that cyber in MOTDs >:P. Staff can, and does, monitor chats AND YoMs-- yes YOMS too. If you are that lonely, take it elsewhere.

Rule 2. No sexual content. Kissing, hugging, holding hands are allowed. Nothing more, please. Please keep the chats clean. This site is not for cybering. Any adult cybering with a minor will be banned when they are caught. Please note I said WHEN...not IF. Rape is an instant ban. Also please note that cybering is not limited to just the act of. ANYTHING sexual with a minor is illegal and those that do it will be banned. And for those that like to push things, this rule also includes unsolicited sexual advances. Kissing or touching anyone (hugs, lap-sitting, etc.) who has made it clear they are not interested is sexual harassment and will be dealt with just as harshly. Warnings and punishments will be up to the Staff as they see fit on a case-by-case basis. This may include a simple warning, a mute or a ban. DON'T test us to see how far you can go before being banned.

Easter Modules and Clan Pyramid Contest
Haidee2010-04-03 14:30:05

Easter is just around the corner, and I completely forgot about it! xD The new modules will be more of a celebration of springtime, I guess.

Most of the Easter-related things can be found in
Haystable, the Easter Village, but Ye Olde Easter Gifte Shoppe is in all of the villages.

For those who weren't here for Christmas or Valentine's Day when we also ran this module, it works like this..you purchase gifts for your friends and family in the Gift Shoppe. These items get tucked into an egg and sent to the Holiday Table in the Green Chestnut in Teirm where they can be opened on
April 30th. You can check the Holiday Table at any time to see how many Easter eggs you'll be receiving, but you can't see what's inside them until the end of the month. EVERYONE will receive at least one egg, so be sure to check it out! :)

In
Haystable, you will find The Egg Bank, an Easter Dinner option where you can try to cook up the best Easter dinner, and a few other things! Also located in Haystable is an Easter Egg Hunt shop where you can turn in the Easter eggs you will randomly find in the Spine. (These will give you small bonuses.)

Along with the Egg Bank is another fun module. It's another type of Egg Hunt where you will randomly come across letters being sold or awarded through battles. If you can collect the letters needed to spell out your login name and/or a few other words, you can turn them in for points at the Egg Bank. Once you get points, you can then turn in the points for either gems or gold!

There's also a Bunny of DOOM loose in the Spine, so watch your step. ;) While you're in the Spine, keep an eye out for the Egg Dyeing Hut, which you may come across while fighting beasties! Can you create a work of art out of a plain chicken egg?

Finally, the clans now have the option to buy Easter Trees to decorate!
This is also a contest..the clan with the best decorated tree on April 30th will be awarded 10 million gold and 25k gems!

Our special Easter edition medallion hunt contest is a hunt for Peeps! The contest will run TWICE this month. On
April 15th, the 5 players with the most peeps will win double the amount in gems! Then the contest will be reset, and another 5 winners rewarded on April 30th.

Happy Spring! I hope you enjoy these fun, new modules!


Update: And we have the winners of the pyramid contest! In first place is Istalri Ilumeo! Their prize is 25 mil gold and 25k gems!

Congrats also to..

Those Who Dwell in the Village of the Lotus, prize 10 mil gold and 10k gems

The Village Hidden in the Leaves, prize 5 mil gold and 5k gems

Kill Fred the Garden Gnome, prize 2 mil gold and 2k gems

April Fool's!
Haidee2010-04-01 15:31:46
Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! =] Does anyone even celebrate this anymore? If so, let's hear what awesome pranks you've pulled! We could all use a few good laughs. (We've got a special text for the holiday. For those of you who don't know or forgot, the holiday text can be turned off in Preferences.)

Now that March is over (where did the time go?) we have our winners for the St. Patrick's Day Contest! First place is...

Viscountess CrimsonBreath! She found 377 Pots of Gold and won 754 gems!

The runners up are:
Druid Silient - 355 pots, 710 gems
Maestro SoulDragon - 200 pots, 400 gems
Eliteswordsman Alucard - 192 pots, 384 gems
ConArtist EragonShadekiller - 177 pots, 354 gems

Congratulations to all of you!

St. Patrick's Day
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-03-10 08:27:25

St. Patrick's Day will soon be here and to get everyone in the spirit, I've activated our St. Paddy's modules!

Most of these are specials in the Spine which you will randomly come across as you play.

As usual, we have a special hunt for the holiday...
Pots o' Gold! After entering the contest, you will randomly find pots o' gold throughout the site. The top 5 collectors will win double the amount of pots in gems!

Also, at the request of a player, I have made the Chapel chat area a roleplaying area only. This means that any comments there should be made as your character- no RL comments or other posts that would interfere with players getting married there. We aren't too strict about RPing in chats here, so please use the other areas to cause chaos and mayhem. Thanks!

Enjoy!

Candy Heart Contest Winners!
Haidee2010-02-16 08:29:10
Two days past the mark, but we've got our winners for the Candy Heart contest! Congratulations to:

King of Dragons DrakonianWarrior with 316 candy hearts
Champion waawaawaaaa with 280 candy hearts
RogueWarrior CrimsonBreath with 149 candy hearts
Blademistress tware with 109 candy hearts
Nar Falcon with 74 candy hearts

As mentioned in the first MoTD, their prize is twice the amount of hearts they got in gems.

Happy Valentine's Day! =]

Live Chat
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-02-07 19:45:57

We've been working on getting the live chat back up and running for us and have come up with a temporary fix!

Most of you may not notice any difference in the way it works now and the way it was working. The new posts still show up without you having to refresh BUT, every time you post, it's as if you had manually refreshed. Your post shows up (of course), but your whole page refreshes instead of just the post magically appearing there on the screen in front of you. It's a little different, but I really don't think anyone will have a problem with it.

It has been reactivated and if you had turned it off, feel free to turn it back on in Preferences :)

Valentine's Day
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-02-07 14:22:08

Valentine's Day is only a week away and in celebration of the holiday, we have brought back the Holiday Gift Shop and the Lovers Lounge in The Green Chestnut in Teirm.

These work just like the Holiday Gift Shop and Tree that we had for Christmas. You have from now until February 14 to buy gifts for your Valentine and friends which can only be opened on the 14th. Everyone will receive at least one present and you can check to see how many more you will be receiving at the Lounge in the Inn. Gifts are still being added to the Shop so be sure to keep checking back there.

I have also activated the Candy Heart Contest. This is just like the Eldunari Contest but Valentine-themed. Sign up for this in
Valentine's Day Contest and hunt Candy Hearts! The 5 players with the most Candy Hearts on February 14th will win their number of Candy Hearts x2 in gems!

New Server
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-02-06 12:09:04

UPDATE: I have deactivated livechat, just to make it easier.

Yay! We're running the new server as we speak. HOWEVER, the old one is still up and running too and they are NOT linked together. So in order for you to not lose any progress (if you actually level) you will need to log out, clear your DNS cache and then log back in.

For Windows machines, go to Start > Run > Type in "cmd" without the quotes, then type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes and then you should be good. Then just come back to edocsil.com and you should be on the new server. For those of you with Macs or even Linux OSs, I don't have exact instructions for you, sorry, lol. But if you Google "clear DNS cache" you should be able to get instructions.

Also, there seems to be a problem with the livechat over on the new server. We will be fixing this, but in the meantime, go to Preferences and the Live Chat option and turn it OFF. Once we get it fixed, we'll let you know so you can turn it back on.

I'll post more once I know more. If you find any more bugs or anything that doesn't seem right over there, please petition it and we'll look into it as soon as we can.

Thanks!


New Server
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-02-05 11:23:33

UPDATE: The site should be changing over within the next couple hours. 9:10pm Eastern.

First let me thank everyone who has donated to help save the site and also give thanks to those who can't donate but still log in every day to show their support. (A BIG thank you goes to GoldenMaiden from Tynastera and I'll post more about that later.) Through your generosity, we're still up and running for at least a couple more months ;) We will still need monthly donations, but our goal will not be quite as high as it is now. Which brings me to the subject of this message..

I just got off the phone with our host and we'll be changing servers here shortly. Right now we are on a dedicated server and after looking at our actual usage, we really don't need all that it offers. We're changing to a VPS server that fits our actual needs better. This will reduce our monthly cost to about half. I'll know the specific amount after it's changed over and will let you know.

I do not know when specifically the changeover will occur but as soon as I know, I'll make an announcement. Right now, I just have the ticket in to make the change. Since the site will be down, I'll try to keep everyone updated on Facebook on the Edocsil page, so if you're on FB, you may want to join that group to get the updates.

Edocsil Facebook Group

Thanks for your patience and all of your support while we come up with a way to keep the site up!

Witchy
Server Offline
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2010-01-28 07:29:24
Hey everyone..

Sorry about the site being offline for a few days. I wasn't able to pay the server fee this month due to lack of donations. LunarPages (our hosting site) has given me an extension of about a week to pay and I'll be able to pay it then.

HOWEVER, as I've said before, I really cannot afford to pay the server cost every month myself. We have gotten a few donations recently which I thank you for, but if donations don't pick back up, we won't be up for very much longer.

We're going to look into other, less expensive plans, so hopefully the monthly goal won't be quite so high. For anyone that can help, I'm offering triple points for the remainder of this month and double points for February. So a $10 donation will get you 3000 points this month instead of the regular 1000 (and 2000 next month). For those that have donated this month already, I'll give you the extra points too.

Thanks!

Witchy

REMINDER: Extra points have to be given manually so if you donate and don't get as many points as you expect right away, don't worry...I'll send them to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

Rule Reminder.
! Yoda Azman2010-01-20 08:35:24
Have Fun, play the game, but observe the rules, please.

Rule 2. No sexual content. Kissing, hugging, holding hands are allowed. Nothing more, please. Please keep the chats clean. This site is not for cybering.

Another Holiday Update
Haidee2009-12-26 14:39:20
So I'm a little bit late, but the winner of the Clan Christmas Tree Contest is the Mystic Shifters! Congratulations! =]

There's only a few short days left until Christmas, which means that if you haven't stopped by the Holiday Gift Shop yet, you're running out of time! In case anyone's forgotten, you can see how many presents you have by going to the fireplace in the Green Chestnut in Teirm. Since many of us will be pretty busy in the following days (and might not have time to stop by here), presents can be opened starting on the 26th.

Don't forget about the Clan Christmas Tree Contest, either. The clan who has the biggest, sparkliest, twinkliest tree by noon Central time on the 26th will be awarded 200 gems as a prize! The gems will be deposited directly into the clan's vault. Good luck and have fun!

That being said, we hope you all have some very happy holidays this year!

Best wishes,
The E
docsil Staff

Holiday Update
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2009-12-11 14:49:30

Update 12/11/09: The Clan Christmas Tree Contest is now open!


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I've just installed the winter holiday town, Polareia Borealis! There you will find most of the winter/holiday modules. We get pretty generous around the holidays and most modules are well worth your time ;)

The Holiday Gift Shop will be open in a few days for your shopping pleasure as well. For those unfamiliar with this, it is a place where you can buy gifts for your Edocsil friends and family, but they cannot be opened until Christmas Day. (We usually change this to either the day before or after Christmas to allow those who travel for the holiday the chance to get their gifts.) Everyone will receive at least one present and you can check your number of presents at the Fireplace in the Green Chestnut in Teirm. If you have any suggestions/requests for the Gift Shop, please petition them.

There are still a couple of modules that have not been installed yet, so keep an eye out for even more new things. And the Halloween costume shop will be changing to Holiday Costumes as soon as our resident Costume Designer Deej gets a chance to do it.

Happy Holidays!

Guestbooks
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2009-11-24 07:22:19

UPDATE 11/24/09: As promised, auto-deletion of Guestbook comments was turned on this past week. Comments will remain for 2 weeks then they will be automatically deleted.

Also, Ruler has added the option to Show your OWN Guestbook and Show OTHER PLAYERS' Guestbooks. It is under the Tab "Bio Guestbook" in Preferences. The default is "Yes" to both options so if you want to see everyone else's and want yours to show in your own bio, then you don't need to do anything. Enjoy!

UPDATE 11/03/09: The DELETE button is now available in your OWN bios for you to have the ability to delete posts of your choosing.

Auto-deletion of posts has NOT been activated yet, but I will turn that function on on
November 20. That gives you just over 2 weeks to make a copy of any posts you'd like to save forever. Anything older than 2 weeks will be deleted at that time.


10/27/09 We will be adding a couple new features to the Guestbooks in the next couple of days.

Thanks to Ruler (again xD), you will all have a Delete button in your OWN bios so you may delete any/all posts that you don't like, are tired of or whatever. Staff will still have the power to delete from ALL bios and will still remove any/all offensive posts as they see fit- even if you don't.

Also, the posts will now expire after a certain amount of time. I'm thinking 2 weeks, but I may extend this a bit.
The expiration of comments will not go into effect right away. We realize some of you may want to keep a copy of them so we're giving you a couple weeks to do this.

I'm also still just in the process of testing the updated file so it's not even installed yet, but I hope to have the Delete button up and running in the next few days- maybe even tomorrow. I will make another announcement as to when the comments will begin to auto-delete as we get closer to that time.

Server Migration
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2009-10-19 08:17:06

I received an email from our host company notifying me of a server migration scheduled for October 23.

Edocsil.com is not changing servers, per se but Lunar Pages is changing the location of the dedicated server we are using.

Starting at 7 pm PST (10 pm Eastern) on October 23, the site will be temporarily down while they move to a new datacenter.

It should only be down for 2 hours at the most and we shouldn't have any problems after the migration is completed. I will be running an extra back up of the site just prior to the scheduled move just in case, though.

Updates
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2009-10-02 15:03:35

Halloween
is soon upon us once again. Esoterra has been reopened for your spooky pleasure! Pumpkin carving, the Goblin Hotel and the morgue are just a few of the holiday modules we have there. Also, you may have noticed a Hidden Door pop up from time to time. Who know what you may find behind it...a trick or a treat...*insert scary music here*

Also in the next day or two, I'll be adding a special "Eldunari Hunt" module. Instead of looking for Eldunari, a special Halloween item will be in its place. The prizes will be a bit higher, but more details on that when I get it added.

And last but not certainly not least since this will appeal to a lot of you more than the Halloween modules, Ruler has once again modified something for us here on Edocsil. We now have a live yom system! In order for this to work, you need to keep your YOM window open so it stays either in your taskbar or as another tab. Every 2 minutes, it will autoupdate to let you know how many new messages you have. It has a max refresh of 10 times so if you step away from your computer for more than 20 minutes, you will be timed out.

Enjoy!


Online Chat with CP...and a few other things
Haidee2009-09-25 07:10:17
"Christopher Paolini will be joining fellow fantasy author Terry Brooks for an online chat with friends and fans on Wednesday, October 14th from 7 PM to 8 PM EDT. The interview will take place on Suvudu.com, Random House's fantasy and sci-fi blog!"

You can find more information
here.

-----------------------------------
New Info 9/25/09- Witchy

I've reset the Clan Pyramids (only a few days late this time). First prize goes to
Those Who Dwell in the Village of the Lotus! Second Place went to The Realm of Faerie and the Third Place winner were MyStIc ShIfTeRs!! Congrats to all of you!

I have an updated copy of the ages in bio module that I have just uploaded. This will force all new players to enter a birthdate when they make an account and will show what age group the person belongs in so we can keep better track. By updating the module, it has reset everyone else's age group (all the text and everything else is still there). I need everyone to please petition their birthdate (YYYY-MM-DD) so that we can edit your information. No one will be able to see your birthday in your bio- it's only used by the module for the age ranges. Thanks!

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that this month is Double Donator Points- you get twice as many points as normal for any size donation. The last MotD announcing that has been pushed back with more recent news. Thanks to everyone who has donated! We really appreciate it!

-Witchy

Pyramid Contest
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2009-09-07 08:35:43

I almost think we should make this a monthly thing since I'm never on time for it..

Congratulations to Those Who Dwell in the Village of the Lotus! They are our First Place winners! I have added 50mil gold and 50k gems to their clan vault.

MyStIc ShIfTeRs came in Second Place and their prize is 25mil gold and 25k gems! Congrats to them!

And Congratulations to The Hackers Paradox Twilight! Their Third Place prize of 10mil gold and 10k gems have also been added to their vault!

The Pyramids have been reset once again and we'll do this again...when I remember! xD

Update- It's kind of long, but please read to the end.
!BacktoBlue WitchyWoman2009-09-06 12:04:38

A few things to report..

Much thanks to Oriad Ruler! He volunteered to edit our Trading Camp modules so empty tents will now automatically close when they're empty! Now no more going through the great big long lists only to find there's nothing there!

Tents are triggered to close automatically once a person enters an empty tent or when the last available item is sold. So I've spent the last couple hours checking each tent >.> lol.

I did notice that some of you still have extremely high prices on things. Sorry to break it to you, but no one's going to buy a turn from you for 10000000000000000000000000 gold :| Please, please, PLEASE close your tent if you're only using it for storage. You will not lose your item(s) you have in there and it will help save time for other players who are looking for items to buy... for a reasonable price.

Ruler also wrote a donation points shelf for us so you will be able to sell donation points in your tents. The same rules apply as far as having 5k points/custom title- you will NOT be able to sell any amount of points that will put you under 5k if you have a custom title. Right now, you can only sell them for gold, but we'll see about adding the option for gems since I forgot to ask him about that when he offered to help...lol. (That was kind of a polite attempt at asking, if you're up to another task, Ruler :P)

***FIXED***Also, the poke modules are not working properly at the moment. They are being added to players' bios, but the system yoms aren't being sent out to inform the player they've been poked/pounced/etc. That's on my agenda to fix today so they should be working soon.

Thank you to everyone who has reported the white screen when being forced to fight Murtagh/Thorn. I'll also be trying to fix that today.

For those that are still getting the white screen at the new day, I'm not sure what the problem still is. There've only been a couple of you that have reported that so I'll try to look into that as well. In the meantime, you can try clearing your cache to see if that clears it up for you since most people are fine at the new day now.

I think that's it for now. I'll update this MotD as I fix each thing on my list of things to do. Thanks for your patience as we continue to clean things up!

ADDED: I *think* we've solved the white page issue. If you do happen to get a white page again, please petition (even if it's at new day or when your Masters come after you). Thanks!

I apologize for the site being down for a few hours today, but we decided to go ahead and upgrade to 1.1.1.

We have been playing for a couple hours and most things seem to work, but you may come across some other bugs/glitches. Please send in a petition telling us the exact problem if you come across any error.

Livechat is working with one small glitchy thing. When you post and hit enter/add, the post stays in the chatbox until you either leave the page or start to type another post. I'm going to try to figure it out, but in the meantime, just be careful that you don't repeatedly hit enter/add.

The GOOD news about it though is that clantag colors, timestamps, Previous AND Refresh all work now! Yay!

One other small problem that is happening is when your Master comes to get you if you have enough xp to gain 2 or more levels. It brings you to a white page and then a Click Here page. I'm going to leave this turned on for the moment, but if players are getting stuck in a badnav from it, I'll turn that option off.

New Days also may give you a white page. Unless you are stuck, please don't petition that as we already know about it.

Also, donations have been pretty low for the past few months. I hate to keep saying this, but if we don't reach the monthly goal every month, the site will shut down.

For the month of September, I am once again offering double points for any donation you make. Custom titles would require a donation of (I think) $23 instead of the regular $42/43.

Thanks for playing!

Q&A with Christopher Paolini - Fifth book?
Haidee2009-09-01 15:28:12
Exciting news, everyone! Every month, Christopher Paolini answers questions submitted by fans over on Shurtugal.com. In
August's Q&A session, Paolini talks about Galbatorix's first dragon, the difference between scrying and telepathy, and the possibility of a fifth Inheritance book (?!).

Let's just keep our fingers crossed. ;]

Previous Q&A's can be read here

Live chat.

Since live chats not been working and witchy isnt online I will be temporarily turning it off until she can fix it. Have fun refreshing again.

Edit: Figured out how to turn it off so its off now.

I have no idea what's wrong with it so I'll have to get Edmund to take a look at it as soon as he can. In the meantime, livechat will be turned off. To refresh the page, either leave the village and come back (i.e. go to the spine then right back to the vilage) OR just hit the ADD button under the chat.
