I used to have an addon that allowed me to save a unique action bar setup for each class combo. I could save the setup or any changes to it by typing /action bar save in chat. Then when I changed the primary or secondary class, I would type /action bar load. I don't remember the name of this addon and I cannot find it in Curseforge. Can someone help me find it?

Ystar asks:

"Well, basically, the question I wanted to ask has already been raised above, so I wanted to ask: what will happen to the North American Ayvenas server?

Will the regions ever be merged? I know latency (ping) would be an issue, but North America is basically a ghost town—you only see a few people here and there. I think it would be better to merge that server with the others so it doesn't get left behind and forgotten."

I have played on US servers with guild members from Europe, Israel, and even the Philippines. The signals cross the ocean at the speed of light. The latency on tans-oceanic cables is not visible and has no effect on gameplay. As for merging or transferring, I have no idea if that's a simple thing or too complicated to be practical.

December 5th marks the 16th anniversary of the day I first set foot in Pioneer's village. About two weeks ago, Windows logged me out for some reason. I started having trouble getting in. I was getting messages stating "invalid account data." I set up a new email address so I could play on a new account while waiting for assistance from support. I followed support's procedure "It USUALLY solves the poroblem) which involved clearing Gameforge apps from the task manager, turning off the PC, rebooting the router, and trying again. I found that I also could no longer log into support with my original account. I contacted them from the new account. after a couple days I logged out of the new account to try getting in again to the old one. Now I can't get into either of them. Support told me they had fixed a problem with my old account support login. Nope. Still can't. Can't play the old account. Can't play the new account. Support wants me to contact them about the old account from the old account's support login. As I said, still can't.

This is irritatingly stupid. I can put up with the crashes, but not being able to get into the game, well, "That's all I can stands. I can't stands no more"(if you recognize the quote you are probably not Gen Z)

It would seem logical, but just out of curiosity, is Gameforge going to be running the new Aion 2 game in Europe and the Americas?

And now DungeonLoots is working properly. Go figure.Maybe Wichtl is onto something.

So- next mystery. Dungeonloots has no data about the loot drops. When I open it, I just see a bunch of rectangular boxes in 3 vertical rows. THe same with the labels and buttons at the top.So what do we think?

Figured out Dungeonloots. I just had to read the login data in the chat. I installed pyLib and all is well with the world.

I am still having one problem. THe Dungeonloots button is not appearing. I went to Curseforge to read the description, there ar no " / " commands listed to say, "Do this." I tried the obvious stuff. /dl, /dungeonloots, /dl open, all that stuff. Nana.

I started deleting them one at a time. In the end, I ended up deleting the entire addons folder and copying it fresh off the thumbdrive. The second attempt works fine.

Well- I finally got back into the game. New problem now.

I built a new PC and started copy over all my files and downloading my preferred browser and other stuff (like the GF launcher). Some of my add-ons were no longer on Curseforge, so I copied my addons folder to a thumbdrive and transfered them to my new system. When I open the game, they are all there, but the buttons (except for lootomatic, go figure) are all globbed up on top of each other and refuse to move with <shift, right click drag>

Any suggestions?

This may end up being my final post. I am posting here because GF watches the thread. My PC logged me out of the launcher. I don't know why. I tried to log in and got an "invalid account data" message. I tried a few times, then went through the password change multiple times.

I contacted support and they told me I was using the wrong email address(even though I was getting reset codes sent to that email. I dug out my password book and found the right email. I still had the same problem. I contacted Gameforge using the "correct" email.

Now I can't log back into support using the Gameforge Support email and password(Why we have one password the game and another for Support is beyond me) that I had used earlier the same day. This is the only other way I know of to reach GF support.

December will be 15 years I've been playing. AV hadn't opened yet. If I can't get into the game, well, then that would be truly sad.

Interesting. I had to test this, so I ran one of my dwarfs through the quests to find out. The level 15 elite certificates are of course given to dwarfs when you reach 15/15, so I figured that one would not be available. Then I went to Listi Pursden in the Class hall, and sure enough. No quest available. Sigg Fletcher, however, has a grey exclamation point over his head, implying that you can do his level 50 quest after finishing all the ones you can't.

That said, not being able to do the old school elite quests on dwarfs is, in my opinion, equally dumb. Having the implication of a doable quest on Sigg Fletcher that in reality cannot is way more dumb.

Ya. Kinda dumb, but it's true.

Quote from aktl

Most US sw players I have known of are joining EU sieges by methods that are not allowed by the TOS, but are regularly performed anyway (sharing accounts / chars

Or maybe they simply have established EU accounts. I have 4 toons on an EU server that I would play once in a while back when server maintenance was being done at separate times and I was jonesing to play.

Quote from Ainz

since server transfer from NA to EU is also impossible,

Is it physically impossible, or just not something GF has set up for us to do? A server is a server. You can transmit zeros and ones from any internet-connected server to any other, and that's all your characters are-an organized collection of ones and zeros.

The summer 2026 exchange events were great for endgamers, but if you want to grow game participation and encourage new players to stay active, you need something that other people can also participate in and benefit from. I've been playing since December 2010 and a casual player since 2019. While I will probably stay involved at one level or another for a long time, but I don't have the kind of gear that would let me do what endgame players do.

If current legislation in congress goes through, the US will find itself permanently locked in Daylight savings. It is an idea that originally about saving candle wax at night and has outlived its usefulness. I would like to see DST done away with completely.

Before I retired, I was working 3rd shift and European siege times would have made more sense for me that leaving for work just as siege was starting. Mayhaps GF could ask for feedback on the idea. Not everyone is you. WE have a siege at 6pm Eastern that sees some active siege and that might work just fine for you. Also, if you count Canada's Atlantic Time Z and Alaska Standard Time, we have 6 zones here without even trying to figure out what time it is in Hawaii. Not quite Russia with its 12, but still kind of crazy.

I have had many guildies over the years who played on the US servers, but lived in Turkey, Israel, and the Philippines. As the Australian player base diminished, Gameforge merged them into the North American servers.

Is there a reason that we cannot attempt to increase siege participation by putting European and North American guilds into siege together? While there are still a large number of players and servers in Europe, the NA server has a limited number of active guilds and we tend to face off against the same people almost non-stop.

Yea, and even after building my own desktops since the first 8088 processors came out in '79, I just don't think about it. It should be ingrained in my brain at an instinct level. instead, panic is my go to mode.

Wait- what's this? a 10 kilobyte hard drive so I don't have to install MS DOS from my 5 1/4" floppies every time I turn it on? Kewl!!
