Where are Kumu's Walkthrough's???

[Icabald Percival dragon]

Just a quick question -- I just visited the Dragon Subforum to peruse Kumu's RoP walkthru . . . . and I cannot find them anywhere! The thread exists, with everyone's words of praise on a job well done, but not the walkthroughs themselves.

Have they moved? Anyone know?

I was told by the staff here to send PMs... but in generalization

Kumu took his ball and went home... deleted every post he made, including that one.

If I look hard enough I "might" have a copy I can post but highly doubt it.

Here is a cut and paste from MS Word:

Many Thanks. He will be missed.

I did get his permission to move them over to the Horizons wiki I'm working on here.

[Velea]

If you are looking for walkthroughs on the RoP quests in particular, note that they are a "work in progress" as I'm doing this post, but we have them up on the horizons.gamersinfo.net site as well.

Ancient RoP are going to be a bit longer. Haven't found anyone who remembers doing the quests well enough to do write ups for the site, so I'll be running them myself soon and writing as I go.

Ability and Crafting quests are there already, and Adventurer quests I just have to figure out how to format nicely. If there are categories of walkthroughs that I didn't mention, let me know.

[Frith-Rae]

actually what was even more, if not equally as valuable was the fact that he had written up an entire walkthrough of EVERY DRAGON QUESTS every 10 levels. The mobs, their levels, their locations, all of it - so that one could try and group things together, or tackle the easier quests out of the group first, or match them with the trophy quest list I put up there fo rthat reason.

That was far more valuable to me than the ROP or Ancient ROP walkthrough.

Anyone have a copy of that on gn or something. Then I"ll know where to direct hatchlings who are wanting something like that.

I know the list I have, if I still have it, is far outdated...lol.

oh wait, I think Valea that is basically waht you said you had...crafting and adventurer quests....

I guess...we should unsticky the other ones *sigh*

[Velea]

hehe.. Yep, that's exactly what we do have on the GI.net site.

I haven't gone back and put in every single link to every single mob yet, but right now the levels are there and even after I put in the links they'll stay so that people can do just what you're suggesting. Plan out when to do what quests, that is.

[Justa Mirage]

I have a link (it "was" posted in the dragon's forum)

http://members.cox.net/acdungeon/Hor...ity_Quests.rtf

It's the out-dated one as well... need to spruce it up some.

[Icabald Percival dragon]

Thanks to all of you

I, too, have complete printouts of all of the wonderful walkthroughs in a notebook sitting by my elbow as I play. I was asking because I was talking with a hatchling last night that the best information was to be found in the works of Kumu. He then proceeded to tell me that those posts no longer existed. I could not believe my ears! I went looking and was dismayed. I too would like to have a handy place to which I can direct the hatchling and forgetful Elder (myself :P).

So, If any info is needed, my printouts are current as of June 2006. Do I get the correct impression that he does NOT wish them to be posted at Istaria.com???? Though they are extremely useful, I would not wish to violate his desires as they are his work. But I am willing to pass on info as it is needed.

*mutters to self about the intense passions that rage within the hearts of many a dragon and goes his way, wondering how to tell his readers of this loss in his next edition of the Herald*

Is Kumu even still playing? I've missed his posted on the boards.

[Mimir]

Yep, I see him now and then "Moo"

[Chioxin]

Erk... this is not good news... as umm... this old ancient was looking for them in order to figure out what he needed and had missed out on... in order to figure out what he needed to get his old creeking bones to work again! .... *sighs* I wish he'd put them back up, I hope he's alright.
