Has anyone other than me noticed a lack of skill gain lately? Seems like
all my characters, who were gaining their .1s a day, are now gaining
nothing. It's bene like this for a week or so

Have you tried dying? I've had no problems with any of mine.

I noticed that too, even at 55 resist, I am getting less or equal to 0.5
per hour in front of the reapers, dying didn't help...

I've noticed it too. Sometimes I get none at all. Maybe it's all the
lead in the environment???

WTF would that do? If you don't die every once in a while you can't
gain?

Huh? Die? I didn't say anything about that. Maybe you're confusedly
replying to the wrong post.

Getting yourself killed (drinking a strong poison near a shrine was my
method) used to be a way to unstick your skills or stats if they didn't
want to increase. I remember doing it in 1998 when a new char could not
raise str past 58 at all for weeks of regular gameplay.

Used to do that with my tamers too, m......poison cocktails from Moe's
Don't think it works now, at least not for my new mage's magery, still
at 92.7, for 3 days now, casting enough EQ and FS to bring down
Blackthron's castle now...
But I noticed after I came back into the game, the first week was like
honeymoon period, I GMed my fencer's resist from 98.6 in 2 days without
using cap lock trick, just killing reapors and litchlords.

I agree, Windsor can be a doofus sometimes.

You've replied to the wrong post...

It used to be a commonly known fact that if you got skills that suddenly
refused to gain, dying would often unstick them. For what reason, nobody
knows.

I find that it still seems to work even now. Of course, just banging at it
will eventually see gains increasing again, but dying just sometimes gives
it the kick up the arse that it needs.

As much fact when I blew two farts in succession and noticed my taming skill
go up.

No one knows but the rumor was resurection at a shrine was run by a
script that somehow reset the skills correctly as it set them to your
naked states.

I've only had one character seriously munged in all my time playing. It
was something silly like 120 parry before they raised the skill cap.
Called a GM and it got fixed.

Yeah, that didn't help. In fact, last night i fought, voked and healed
for like 2 hrs and got no gains. Then i took out a 300-pt character
w/like 6% macing skill, and I killed a few sheep and cows, getting
nothing but a .1 in anatomy. There definitely seems to be a nerf so far
as skill gains goes...

I've had no problems gaining skill latelly. Went from 0-110 Parry in under
48 hours. Jeholm Pits are great. And no. No unattended macroing.

Well, you did see the new monthly charge, right? You have to sign up for
it separately. It's under Account Management > Allow Characters to Gain
Skills. Only $59.95 a year!

/oops. Giving EA ideas.

I have no problem with my three chacters practicing their 10 skills.
Normally I got my 0.1 skill point gain from the first try every morning. It
only takes about 5 minutes or less every morning.
