It has begun. Paine has his own guild and apparently the support of some of the DM’s. He has begun to take all of the Territories away from the other guilds and has even taken some Fortresses.
As the leader of House Thanatos, I officially declare war upon the Death Dealers, or whatever Paine’s guild is called, and anyone who helps them either kill members of, or capture territories belonging to, House Thanatos.
A new age of conflict has begun. Long live the guilds, but death to those that oppose mine.

A Friendly Public Service Announcement
I have been talking to some of the DM’s lately and there are a few things they wanted everyone to know.
1. Don’t beg the DM for Buffs or Resurrections or Bruce might chase you.
2. Don’t beg for Gold or Xp or Server Info might chase you.
3. Don’t spam invite the ‘MG’ to your “Team”, he doesn’t need you leeching his Xp.
4. If DM Veddartgaz gets bored you need to RUN, because Bosses WILL be dropping on you.
5. Newbies that bash NPC’s in Dozo and then run around like crazy crying for help when the NPC’s start chasing and killing them are extremely amusing and will not receive any help from the DM.
6. If you see an Oki dying repeatedly while attempting to do something his build cannot do, make sure you tell your DM so he can come watch. It’s therapeutic!
7. If you want a good answer from people, just say “u level” and “team” a lot! Most people will answer you like you were their best friend!
8. One of the most amusing things in the history of the civilized world was Shadow218596 crying that the server was broken because all of his belongings got Pick Pocketed. “This is Game Mistake!!”
9. It’s not a good idea to call the DM an Asshole when he catches you cheating.
10. If you want something from the DM, ask politely and then wait. It is not your right to have him stop what he’s doing to come and bow before you.
11. And last but not least, DM’s are players. The log into the game to PLAY, not to fix your Fuck-ups.
I hope that this will increase the enjoyment that you get from your experiences in the Badlands. Have a nice day.
PS: Feel free to add to this list!

Paine in the Ass
Well, there's a new face in town. There's a guy running around Badlands lately named "Paine" (login Loki5891) who has sparked alot of discussion and controversy. He's a level 40 Monk/Cleric/Shadow Dancer who seems to enjoy PK'ing, especially if he can jump people when they're either unbuffed or fighting monsters. While what he's doing is technically legal, it seems to be making some people really mad, and quite a few have sworn to try to kill him enough to drive him off the server. He mentioned that he had been to this Blog (and called us all 'fags') so I'm assuming he'll probably read this. So, welcome to the Badlands Paine. It looks like it's going to be an interesting couple of months!

Desert Town of Dozo
Here's a quick post about a few areas of interest if you've never played on BadLands RPG before. Dozo is the main town/starting point in the server, the screen captures below are in no specific order either so don't think of this as a walk through. You can only add +1 to your gear in Dozo, but eventaully when you get to Newport and the Underdark you'll be able to upgrade your gear even further.
This friendly fellow sells gloves if you so happen to be playing a monk, then you can add enhancements to them if so desired, assuming you have enough money and the required character level.
The dye guy is fairly obvious, he sells dye. But you don't need to buy any, BadLands RPG has an excellent crafting system that allows you to fully change the color and apperance of your weapons/armor.
Here is Ekko's Arena, this is where you and 1 other person battle each other to see who reigns supreme. But be warned! DO NOT ENTER ALONE, there is a slight bug and you will be trapped in the arena until a DM can port you out. So if you decide to try the arena MAKE SURE you have somebody join it with you.
The Dozo Bindstone allows you to port to where you previously died if you choose to respawn in Dozo, it's a fairly simple concept so I won't go into detail.
This is first place you want to visit after leaving the Oasis Restort after character creation. The Armory is where you get your weapons and armor, AW YEAH. Make sure to talk to everyone inside so you whats going on. "Shorty" will be your friend in the future, he also lets you "re-level" ONE level if you make a mistake.
The magic shop is where you get your belt, boots, cloak, rings, amulet. Make sure to buy all this stuff and add enhancements to them as soon as you can afford it. Things get tough quick around here so make sure your gear is maxed out when you can.
Wanted Dead or Alive. Reading this will explain all the PvP rules on BadLands RPG, and display your PK points if you've aquired any (I think)
The Server Lady is cool, she knows all about the server and such, so make sure to check her out. But don't let her catch you looking :)
Soppi is who you want to talk to when your inventory gets clogged up with items that other shops won't buy. It's worth it clean out your junk and get the money in return, item crafting gets very expensive and you'll need all the money you can scrounge up. Plus I think you can get some thief stuff, but I forgot. der.
This bad-boy is the character deleter. So you've managed to make the crappiest character ever seen, one quick conversation with this shark and you'll be a thing of the past. I don't know if it got fixed, try not to re-make a character with the same name as one previously deleted, you can come back and the whole town will think you're hostil and they will attack you on site. Not a good place to be at level 1.
Well, thats the short version for now. Hopefully this helps out a bit and keeps you from bugging our friendly DM's to much. :) Happy Hunting.

Trouble in the Arena
There has been quite a few people who have gotten stuck in the Arena lately. It happened to one of my builds when another person shouted they were stuck and I entered the arena to try to duel them to get them out. The problem is, the game isnt registering them as being in the arena as a Contender, but as a spectator. (If you look in the picture you can see the icon in the top right corner for my spells being disabled, and that only happens when you're a spectator.) So me going in there didnt do anything other than get me stuck as well. I have logged out and back in multiple times and have heard from others they have done the same.
Just giving the DM's a heads up, you'll probably be hearing about this for a while, I know I've been looking for one of you for the past 2 days to get my lowbie out of there.

KISS! The weapon, not the rock group
In keeping with the previous posts about good Boss Items, I present 'Kiss', one of only 2 items on the game with a +7 enhancement bonus. As you can see, the damage isnt bad either. Not sure if you can wield Katana's two handed like you can in PnP D&D but it's still a pretty kickass weapon. Gotta kill the Rakshasa for this one, so good luck!
Dark Ryuji
Just a quick post for fun. Cain and Hellie Layne, after much trouble finally brought Dark Ryuji to his demise. The Arcane Brotherhood now owns the Underdark Fortress.
