Dundee, there's no such word as "irregardless." If there were, the word itself would be a double negative. Personally, though, I don't mind. What annoys me is the term "meteoric rise." Meteors don't rise--they fall. If somebody actually *DID* experience a "meteroic rise," that means they're about 3 seconds away from leaving a sizable crater somewhere in Utah.

IranicuS, I don't mean to make you feel small, but yes, these subjects have come up before. [img]smile.gif[/img] If you want to share your superior knowledge of the game, your best bet is to wait until somebody has a question that they want answered, or is having trouble getting past some difficult section of the game. Then, you can sail in, help them out of their problems, and be a hero.

NOTE: Avoid spoiling people. A "spoiler" is when you post information that somebody else DID NOT WANT to know--it's like telling somebody the ending of a book or a movie, before they've read it or seen it for themselves. Most people would much rather find things out for themselves. To give a Baldur's Gate example, let's say somebody just got into the Underdark, but they don't know how to get out--they're stuck and they don't know what to do. DO NOT post a complete list of how to get into Ust Natha, and the best ways to do every single quest in there. Instead, a small nudge in the right direction (such as giving the person hints on how to get to Adalon) should be all that is needed.

Good luck & Welcome to Ironworks!
