Thank you Bones!... glad to be of service.

Your servers are listed in the Gamer table (my home page)
My intention was to use the server list in the Game Table (in thread) for organized squads, clans, whatever. i.e. when freeping gamers actually do organize here, and decide on a regular place to meet, Thats where the info goes. However, I have been throwing info in that column without requests for some games without any info, just to try and get things started.

I will add shattered hand to the Game Table list...
Maybe now that WoW is 15 strong here, you all can put something together, and let me know which servers you definitely want to list on the Game table.

I'm trying to make sure the callsigns are simply a coinky-dink, but I will bring them in once I know for sure. That is, if they already aren't here. "SFC2:OP" is an old game, but we still have an active community of around 100 or so players, and an inactive but still keeps in touch, of another 500 or so.

Hey, I have leveled up to 40 something on Morrowind... I don't do the alchemistry thing yet, just finally did get all glass weapons (with backup of most of it). I have been enchanting them the best I can.

Still about 50% of the place to explore left (and I haven't loaded any of the expansions yet).

I did a nice dum dum the other day. I picked up some weapon that had strong negative attributes to it and saved (autosaved also). I had to work back a lot of light, medium, and heavy weapon skills and I'm not sure I will ever regain full ability. My game still shows those attributes in red like they have been cursed forever. I don't know of a spell that will restore those individual attributes.. Ugggg.... I don't used autosave when resting anymore due to that flub up...

I had a time figuring how to sell high dollar items, but me and "Scamp" now do lots of business. My fave item seems to be a vampire ring that saps a lot of power out of the bad dudes and makes for easier killing afterwards.

I have a couple of questions also, is there a soul gem better tha n grand soul gem? If so where? What items/weapons have the most ability to hold soul/Magic powers. Also I could not get the durn multi-mark mod to work in C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files... did I need to go one folder deeper when I unzipped it? Can you enchant items yourself and save yourself from going to enchanters (even though money is no longer an issue since I have 1/4 millon on me constantly).

Another dum dum move I made was stealing from the main enchanter in Baltamore (sp)... Now when I try to get her to enchant the whole gang attacks me and I can't put back the items I stold to get back in her good grace. Again I saved when I shouldn't have. What is the advantages of getting a house (Mages) good graces (doing their tasks? Do you get special powers like being able to enchant yourself? How do you up your repetation/ what advantage is there to getting a good rep?




Now I know where my 6y/o gets all his questions from... sorry about being such a newbie to this stuff... this game has turned out to be quite addictive to say the least.

"Maybe now that WoW is 15 strong here, you all can put something together, and let me know which servers you definitely want to list on the Game table."

Good deal. Maybe if we end up getting it together, I wouldn't be adverse to starting a new character on a different server to level up some characters with some freeper buds. Maybe we could get a sweet group together and tear up the battle grounds.. make other people scared of us. ;-)

Your red attributes can be restored with Restore (Attribute) potions - each Mage's Guild has at least one potion-hawker.

Have you met the drunken crab? He has twice the money of the scamp - he's east of Vivec, very close to Mzahnch. A great Morrowind map is here.

Not sure about the soul gems, so will defer to Bacon in that regard.

As far as MultiMark, you have to activate the mod. When you very first start Morrowind, before you click Play on that menu, right under Play is Data Files. Click that, select MultiMark (I think it's called), then OK or Save or whatever, and then Play. When your game starts, you'll get a message that you're loading something differently (can't recall the exact message); tell it OK and you should be good.

Don't know about enchanting items yourself - I know Bacon played with that more, so will defer to him again.

As far as enchanting in Balmora, you must be talking about Galbedir - cranky thing, she is. Just use enchanters in other cities' guilds; each guild should have one.

The best reason I've found to be in a guild is that it gives you extra quests that help you level so you can accomplish the main quest.

I'm replaying it, because I really think I need to finish it before the next iteration comes out . . . but I did something really boneheaded. You know how you have to get the four tribes to proclaim you Nerevarine? That dude in Erabenimsun won't agree to be his tribe's leader, and I've already killed his opposition AND given him all the loot he wants. He still says nope, though, and I can't get him to change his mind. Soooo I had to revert to a saved game about halfway back . . . I was cheezed!

There's only one soul gem that's greater than a grand soul gem but I forget what it's called. Star of Azura maybe. The cool thing about it is it's reusable. It doesn't get destroyed after use like other gems do. Also it's the only soul gem that can hold the soul of Vivec, if you can kill him. You receive it as part of a quest as I recall but I don't remember the details (sorry). I wanna say it's located on the south eastern shoreline but only available for the taking at a certain time of day. Looking at the map Xenalyte pointed to, the Shrine of Azura looks like the right location. I wish I could remember more.

The best enchantable items are daedric (I think that's spelled right) armor. The best one is a daedric great shield.

You can enchant items yourself if your skills are high enough but there's always a good chance of failure where the soul gem and the item you're trying to enchant get destroyed. I always paid someone to do my enchanting for me. It's expensive but it always works.

Does "Hungry Hungry Hippos" count? I can't handle a videogame more complicated than Super Mario.
