I am coming for your top ten spot. :p Ready or not, here i come.

nice - I like challenges.

Pyrizzle,

You're quite the gentleman (gender assumed) to issue such a challenge while addressing us with "Dear". If all remains consistent as my days play out, you may very well have a shot at replacing someone who takes my position. In the real world I've recently dealt with the nursing of a near 17 year long family pet for a couple of months, only to have revealed by recent testing, that she, a domestic long hair feline, was dying from lymphoma. The decision was made to assist her departure in the most humane and peaceful manner. The next to leave us was our refrigerator. After about $2,500 later, along with some plumbing modifications I made, a replacement was put into service. About all that remains to be established prior to my return to regular game play of Andor's Trail is; replacing the timing chain and inspecting the head gasket and valves for associated damage on my car's engine, perform a major overhaul on my PC, resolve a handful of major issues with poor service from Charter Communications & Verizon Wireless (countless hours will be spent on the phone here, providing that either of the two companies' phone service is consistent enough to contact), resolving an issue regarding Maytag/Whirlpool authorizing A&E Factory Services (a Sears owned service company) to repair/replace our previous refrigerator that was part of an "unofficial recall" that they did neither (our 9 defective replacement ice maker units are quite the conversation piece(s)), and least of all that I will make mention of is the several rooms in my home that are filled with acquired and donated PC parts and equipment that require organization by means of proper storage or disposal before I find myself on a special edition of Hoarders. Cheers!

OMG ctnbeh13! You mean to say that there is someone on this board who actually has a real life and doesn't play this game 12 hours a day! Sacrilege!

Dear CTNBEH13,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss of your family pet. I too had to recently put down a lifelong family pet and probably know how you feel.

I understand that ppl do have lifes besides their life on this forum and on Andor's Trail, but you of all ppl should feel the least threatened. If i remeber correctly off the top of my head that you are currently around level 112 (I am only at level 53 at this time). You have a long long long time until i am anywhere near you.

My original post was only made to make the game a lil more fun between updates and to encourage ppl to keep playing.

your friend,
Pyrizzle

Pyrizzle,

I know that your original post, as was the first sentence of my reply, was made in good humor. I honestly place no considerable value on how my position of rank on the high score list exists. I just enjoy playing the game, partially as a means of temporary escape from the anxiety brought about by societal and individuals' expectations. I sincerely appreciate your reply, but also wish to clarify that my itemized list of future endeavours was not compiled to cause any guilt or compassion to be solicited on my part. I realize that some players of Andor's Trail are highly competitive and somewhat unsupportive of others' success, as Oskar being the only one to wish me congratulations on reaching level 100 would attest to.

In my opinion, if I remember correctly, your choice of leveling up your character just outside of the Blackwater Mountain settlement area is currently the best place to do so. That is the same area I've been camping out in for the benefit of leveling up, and picked up two ElyR's in the process. The RoL is not really worth camping out for (IMO) due to the lack of experience points gained in the process, as well as what you get in overall stats for this sword in comparison to the ElyR. If you wait for the next release that will offer the skill system, the amount of time spent to acquire an RoL will be minimal. I'll probably collect at least one for the sake of completing my collection, but not for actual use. The Venomous Dagger is still a highly underrated weapon by many players. It has been my weapon of choice prior to obtaining an ElyR. When you have two RoLS and equip the Venomous Dagger, you are 3% away from every hit you land on an enemy being a 1 in 3 chance of landing a critical hit. Pretty impressive for a weapon available so early into game play.

For whatever it's worth, I really haven't been following this topic. I occasionally check it out to see how others are fairing. I have noticed however that even at the extensive amount of experience points required for me to gain a new level, that I often gain two to three levels before the high score list is updated. I can only imagine how many levels other players gain before their true place in the list is reflected.

At any rate, thanks, & no worries.

Got a new sketchbook today... gonna take the day off from grinding. Gotta get my mind off the ELyR and maybe it will come to me when i return.

I think you are a funny person, we did say something about you hitting level 100, but you choose not to read it,

Would like to say different people have different objective in playing the game thus having a higher level means that you have a lot of spa time to kill that is all

Anyone who spend the same amount of time would have achieve the same level
But I must give my hand to you for doing it at game version 6.8

It is for sure more time spend

For me playing it is to help me get pass my time from from train rides and my objective is to get all the legendary items

You'd be surprised about how much spare time one can generate while working at a hotel... I have a good chunk of my day free to play A.T. while waiting for customers to come in.

issac888,

Based on your previous post, I can't help get the impression that when you state "funny", you mean that in a clinical sense. Perhaps you're right. Maybe it's while in my psychiatrist's lounge waiting my turn to update the good doctor on the latest progress of my manifesto that I find so much "free time" to play Andor's Trail. While still on the topic of clinical, please clarify (not the process of one becoming a cleric) who is the "we" you refer to. This brings me to my final request; please explain your psychic process for determining your reference of whatever it was that I "chose not to read".

For the benefit of others who may be more sensitive than I, you may want to reconsider being so speculative (so much friendlier a term than overly assumptive, don't you agree?) about a persons free time as it might be derived from kidney dialysis treatments or even worse.

Pyrizzle,

I read your earlier post about picking up a new Sketchbook. Have you considered sketching out some new map areas for the game you'd like to see implemented? You could always submit them to Oskar by scanning them for him to consider placement in the world map if time doesn't allow you to map them yourself. If nothing else, he could use them as a story board for inspiration and direction as he works.
