The Tolarian Community College Beckons You! 02/09/2017 01:35 PM CST
A player of ours, who is also the Professor at the Tolarian Community College (a YouTube channel focused on Magic: the Gathering), has created a video about GemStone IV. Go check it out!

And if you know someone who missed our last Premium promo, there is a new code in the description of his video. Spread the word and check out his channel!

As new individuals begin to come into the lands, please feel free to reach out to anyone that you can find for assistance. I realize the new user experience is all well and good through the pixie quest, but then it may be a little difficult to navigate, and you may feel like you've been tossed into an ocean with a weight on you!

I've banded together with many other veteran Gemstone players, and we've created a discord channel dedicated to supporting newcomers. https://discord.gg/tMAUjYz
Discord is the next-gen Ventrillo/Teamspeak/Skype VOIP solution that allows for easier management of multiple servers, cross-platform communication, and also aligns the stars and does your dishes. (actual results may vary) You can run it from the website alone or download an app that makes everything a little better.

While there, you can utilize either the voice or text chat for support. While it may not always be monitored 24/7 (although, a lot of veterans have joined to help), we'll be doing our best to help explain mechanics, actions, towns, the best places to find documentation, and any other way we can support to any new player of the game.


We realize it's an absolutely massive world to undertake, but it's worth it in the end, and we love getting newcomers into our community.

The Mentors are also working hard to welcome everyone and acclimate them to our community.

Please feel free to direct anyone to Silverwood Manor and the bell there, as well.

Thanks!!

If anyone needs help properly pronouncing "half-krovlin" the Platinum community is ready to lend a hand!

Just wanted to add, because I think my last post might come off as jerky rather than joking, that I loved the video and I appreciate a fellow player promoting our wonderful little world.

Great video. I laughed when he tossed a gem in the air (around 6:25 in the video). That's about the size I've always pictured gems in my mind, even though I know they are intended to be much smaller.

When he looked at the East Tower, I saw a typo in the description that I've never noticed before. It should be "countryside" (one word), instead of "country side" (two words).

I bet you can honestly say you've probably never looked at the east tower before....much like the rest of us. I always knew the east tower as the place to go for getting boxes opened. I'd walk into the east tower, but I never just stood there and stared at it in all the years I've played.

After authoring every possible Bard Build guide, is there any doubt that he sings...? :)

Whirlin did this and that is Whirlin? You hit a happy medium of lecture, introduction, trailer and highlight that actually shows the cool quirk and uniqueness to a MUD. No small feat man.

Negative, I am not the Tolarian Community College professor.

If I were, you know I'd instantly out myself as Whirlin for more fame. Whirlin is a brand!
