I'm trying to speedup my load times between zones when playing on multiplayer servers by redirecting the folder where the temp files are downloaded to from the server into a ramdisk.

So basically I'm trying to find out "when I connect to a server and load into a zone, where does the game download that zone's "file" to?"

Any help would be greatly apreciated because I'm just trying to get more performance out of my computer as I don't like waiting 5-10 seconds for zone loads given the specs of my computer.

I'm about to just buy an SSD and put  it all on there but I'm not sure if i want to drop $115 on a 32GB hard drive that may or may not die withing half of 2 years(which is still under warranty and I could return it, but who wants to do that really?), but would give me instant file seek times and performance ratings about double my SATA II RAID0 setup.

I've been playing here for a while and when I first joined the loot worked like this: Loot chest, return a couple hours later and loot again with slightly lesser quality. It seemed the loot ripened over time of not being touched by anyone.

Well yesterday I was on the server for the better part of 12 hours and the chests I looted in the morning were still empty for me when I wet to sleep. I've also noticed getting a ton of chsets with like 2 gold in them or sometimes even less.

By the way there's a few broken chests that always spawn exactly the same loot. One of the spider cocoons to the left of the mushroo in the camp bat cave always spawns a singular amethyst. And the chest just to the right of the throne in the front of the undead tomb always spawns 2 potions of clarity, a scroll of magic weapon, and 41 gold.

Just thought I'd inquire about this stuff.

Also if you guys need help with anything related to building, or debugging/spell checking (I've noticed quite a few mispelled words, which is no biggy but tends to break immersion) feel free to hit me up. I'm pretty handy with a toolset and I've been DM'ing and playing D&D pen and paper style for about 9 years now.

I've tried sneaking up and shooting, shooting in combat from sneak attack range, sneak attacking with melee weapons..frontal attacking with melee weapons..shooting from long range..pretty much everything it seems..

Is there some special thing I have to do to proc my DA or is it just broken?

New to the server, looks really nice so far and the community seems great based on trolling the forums for a little bit. I like the rules as well.

So far everything I've seen on/about this server reminds me of the quality of an older server I used to play on alot. Tales of Taliesin... I was just wanting to say hi and see if anybody else here has ever played on that server? If so could ya give me an opinion of this one compared to that one as far as roleplay, server build quality, scripting, dm activity and what not?

Thanks in advance
