sorry accidentally double posted not sure how it was done tho...
also have a qn because other people r looking for answers as well should I make a post for each qn? and have that in the subject line or place all qns in the same post?

1) FiReTooTh +4 - is suppose to b a ranged weapon how come every time I use it
I had to actually move next to my target? I don't understand.

2) Rechargeable items - Like wands can they b recharged at some sort of store
or temple? or r they useless once all charges r gone?

3) The WiZarDs StaFF - I have been told by my cuz that this is a legend
weapon, what exactly does it do again...I think it is probably the only
thing I'd missed in SoA, where is it and how do u get it?

(And I'll knock off the "leet-speak" if you will. You might enjoy your unique style of typing, but it's hard to read and understand. Think of how it might be for other Ironworkers whom English isn't their native language. ;) Hard to give help if you can't read the question correctly.)

leet-speak is not changing the cases; it's saying leet with numbers-1337. That sort of thing ;)

Faceman 09-03-2003 01:06 PM

So what is it called then?

UPPERCASE/lowercase -> UC/lc ("yOu'Ve bEEn tHuNDeRsTrUcK")o

or

lowerUPPERcAsE -> lUc ("I love Lucy")

or

UPPERlowerCase -> UlC (Watch out it's the "iNcrEdiBLe ULC")

or

CaseyK's Switchboard?

:D

Pyrenk 09-03-2003 02:22 PM

It is called "accidently being an idiot".

There is no name for it-only 1337 h46 4 n4m3. :D :D

Actually I think the Jargon File mentions this phenomenon under the name "studlycaps".

Studlycaps: Alternating between uppercase and lowercase letters. Studlycaps is merely one facet of the leetspeak slang language. It is often used by itself because it is easy to figure out the system and you can actually count on other people understanding what you read.

Leetspeak: A written slang language that is very complicated and open to improvisation. Consists of substitutions of letters with symbols of some visual similarity as well as deliberate misspellings. Intelligently used leetspeak is an art form, moronic leetspeak is just hideous. Both are hard to read for the uninitiated. Many leetspeak standards such as "teh", "1337" -x0r/-z0r endings and "kthxbye" has migrated over in general online slang.

well actually I only used it on the wizards staff and firetooth (to make em stand out)
cos I think its quite groovy and stylish and fancy like fantasy writing...
not a whole bloody passage which makes it impossible to read!

actually I wouldn't mind getting the CHEAT to add this item into me pack just to c what it is like...?
Altho I have so much it doesn't really matter anyway!
So anyone know what Item no# it is?

Thanks

Why not ask Shangalar nicely for it? He will be waiting for you in the Bridge District. Take your time, he will always be there unless you enter ToB.
