There is a house to the east of rivertown market, in there is a letter and a few useless things, what's the letter for? Or is this an object with no purpose?

This is kind of an easter egg, but nothing special. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Greetings MightyOne and bernhard,

Easter eggs? *grins*
We like Easter eggs, gurl would like to know more.
Is it the Dr's house mighty?
I may have already done it but now you've perked my curiousity.

The house is east of Ars Magicana, and maybe a little south IIRC (not the doctor's house).
The letter... ~~[color:"#27384A"]is a reference to Romeo and Juliet.[/color]~~ (highlight the text to read)

With that colour I can see that there is text there, but it is rather difficult to read at arms length.

~~[color:"#3A495A"]Would you rather have the text the same colour as the background[/color]~~

~~[color:"#304154"]or have it slightly darker, but less visible than the colour above?[/color]~~

~~[color:"#2D3C4D"]This colour is slightly darker than in the second line.[/color]~~

~~[color:"#27384A"]For comparison, this is the text colour in the other post.[/color]~~

I think the second row is dark enough to indicate there is text there, while being more difficult to read without highlighting it.


[color:"#2D3C4D"]Of course, you could also change the text and background colours, if you post in HTML and UBB Code[/color]

[color:"#405164"]However, this limits your formatting options, since the HTML table will be a separate block of text.[/color]

duh--- i hate to show my ignorance, but what is an Easter egg? every time i see it mentioned i make all sorts of wild guesses (to myself) but now i give up and ask for the benefit of the superior knowledge of the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" />

It's... hm... something hidden... something extra in the game.
Something that's normally not part of the typical storyline and quests.
Useally funny too.

Thx so much for ur fast reply. i looked up the easter egg and runes article posted by Kiya, after i asked for clarification of easter egg, and realized a lot of work has been done by many ppl exploring those secret places. in other words, a person should read as many help sources as possible before asking dumb questions, that have already been answered. Am i right? Ur reply really put the answer in simple terms, thx again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

There are no dumb questions.
Just useless replies sometimes.
Or whatever that saying is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

You're very welcome.

"@Raze, and wich color you are using with those? (#number)"

The RGB values for the forum background are (55,72,90), or hex #3A495A. The second row text colour is -5 to each RGV value, converted to a hex value of #304154. The colour of the lighter HTML table is +10 to the RGB values. If you like any of the other colours, 'Quote' that post in a reply to see them. ;)

Spoiler (highlight the text to read);&lt;TABLE BGCOLOR="#405164"&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;[color:"#405164"]spoiler text[/color]&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;

Take that gamegurl for example, she's just a goof sometimes and blurts out stuff like, "OH Gooodie" an Easter egg.
Hopefully her zany humor does not drive you old timers and others to want to lop off her head.

Smiler, check out my post for the "special armor". Now that looks like a good hearty quest. I'm all over it.

Who are you calling an old timer? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure I have a couple hundred more years ahead of me.
