Iniar

* The config separator option - when @Tsinghahla showed it to me, I cried while I redid all my aliases.

* That you can tumble prone

* Shard Plants being a thing

* Ritual Aura being a thing

* Readplog

* That 'kneel' requires balance 

* That Chameleon perma-tattoo is awesome

* That artifact pets were so awesome >:[

* Making a panic-try-every-exit alias

- Pellets are cheap and edible
- Mounts could waterwalk
- Tentacle tattoo yanks people in trees
- "creature" works for a wide variety of bashing
- order loyals follow me
- When I figured out how to use if statements to track rebounding

Brings back fond memories.

Yes the loyals one I remember Selthis/Menoch telling me that I could 'order loyals follow me' after they watched me spam them with 'order bubonis follow me' 'order doppleganger follow me' fun times

E: Also, how awesome Kanthari/Aleutia are at roleplay. Made me wish I had swapped to Khandava way sooner.

Nyrohi

When I was brand new to Imperian (and MUDs), I didn't know about the 'wield item' command. I kept wondering why my weapons never worked, and spent a while kicking and punching things to death as a newbie before someone told me about it.

Aulani

Oh, one that I learned fairly recently. Tells you all the gold in your various packs, etc.

GOLD
You have 524,708 gold in your inventory and have 22,000 gold in your bank accounts.

To be fair. I believe that one it's fairly new

Iniar

It's been showing up on gmcp for a while. Just didn't know there's an associated in-game command

hehe I used to order each of my loyals individually as well.

I forgot one! Learning Lua for Mudlet since I used nexus for years and years.

I learned that no one uses artifact bows bows in general here... It'd be awesome if we did!

The reason behind this is, the few people who did use artifact bows had broken skillsets, and so only used them to get kills at range/whoring at range. Thus, these skills were nerfed into oblivion, and bows are now largely useless. Range combat is contradictory to the combat set up of Imperian (You hit me, I hit you). At range this is generally (I hit you. I hit you. I hit you.(See monk for evidence of this assertion.)).

Learning how to use gmcp.

Some of us still do. Bows are actually really good if you have a team who knows what they're doing-- it's just hard to find a team who can efficiently and dynamically switch arrow types to kill people now. 2 people with bows can easily range-kill a person who doesn't move, and 3 is downright overkill.

ES 1. Thanks, @Azefel

That is awesome to hear. Arrow types...hmm see, that I am just learning a bit more about. I thought it might have been toxins you can put on regular arrows at first. Maybe we can see some range fights sometime soon!

The problem with this is that by the time somebody is  able to use a bow artifact bow, they've almost certainly reached the point at which they have better things to do in a fight than sit outside and plink.

You know, things that might actually push a kill in a teamfight.

Numlock is auto-walk.

Sorry for the delay quote on this: Hmm that does make a lot of sense with how combat is supposed to be intended here. I might get a bit upset for being sniped out without getting to be in the same room with my attacker :O

Wait...it is? I always made my own macros to go off numlock to walk with. 8 is north, 6 is east, etc

Yes, Yes I also see your point of view on such as well!

Real plinkers use soulspears. Am I right Speedbump?
