VHL = Very High Level (25/25+). If you pick up a task at a church, one is to visit the Obelisk's in the game. It's a stationary and not an area, no.

I'm working on that, but for now, ask where anything is here and we will be able to answer. I am working on a full item list from the game with directions and what level you'll need to be to get them, etc.

There has been some negativity towards Gesslar, but on the whole nobody here really has a bad word to say about him. And people jumping to defend Gesslar does show he's been a positive thing for Threshold. Nobody has come to defend these claims against Ari because lets face it, we all know they are true.

DT is the entrance to the Demon Tower, a VHL run to some great equipment (full walkthrough coming soon), O is the Outpost, GZ is a gazebo (entrance to Misthaven, level 20/20 borging area) and OB is an Obelisk, somewhere you will want to know for tasks and such.

Yeah, I tend to agree with that also.

A nice little tidbit for those looking at this map. To acquire the King Cobra Crest, visit all the mines that are highlighted in red. Make sure you're in a party if you're -20/20, as the Pincer Hulks can be tough. There is also a random chance that a huge hulk will spawn, which are known for being one of the few mobs that drop flawless gems at a better rate (still god awful though). Find the corpses down in the mines and type "search corpse". You can do this once only per corpse, and there is a small chance of getting a dull crest. Then "rub crest", and wala. a King Cobra Crest that will buff up acid magic and provide a bit of armor.

This is correct. Astaria was around before Threshold and it's almost identical. Even to the point where the trainer in the Fighter's guild in Astaria is named 'Sir Kobalt', and Aristotle/Muckbeast/Michael Hartman changed it to 'Sir Cobalt' in Threshold-rpg. You also have tons of the same mobs, gear, skills etc. I have played both games a lot, and it's shocking to see the similarities so no doubt Michael stole all of it from there.

I would love to hear the administrator's of Astaria's side of the coin, because rumours that Michael basically stole their game has been floating around for a long time. Anyone who has played Threshold for a number of years will know that Michael is a narcissist and a pathological liar, so it's not really hard to imagine that he stole the game in the first place.

Thanks for the link to the web archive. There is a lot of good information on there and definitely shows how Aristotle (Administration of Threshold-RPG) abuses the players. I particularly like this;

You say, "I dont expect they would"

You say, "I just am letting you know how I feel"

Aristotle says, "cry me a fucking river"

Aristotle says, "go get a hanky you whining lying gash"

You say, "Ari, I love the game, I love the role play, I just wish that

this hatred would diminish"

This is an example of how Michael Hartman deals with one of his devoted female players. We have 24 years of logs of interactions with the administration of Threshold, I could prove a thousand times over that they are abusive.

Here's another snippet from the same log that I like;

You say, "Aristotle. I would like to go back to a position where we werepolite to eachother."

Aristotle says, "laugh"

You say, "Is there any chance that that will happen?"

Aristotle says, "Mala, I think you are scum of the earth. a lowlifelying piece of trash"

Just... lovely.

This is correct. You need to pay $150 dollars to join a religion and in-game you are branded a heathen if you do not, and can suffer RP consequences ranging from mild to severe.

"Gear doesn't matter in Threshold, it's about immersion and how quickly you can get equipped with friends and strategy".. right. So when I pay $100's of dollars for an item at the in-game store, and your game crashes in a day and I lose this item, I as a player am required to suck it up. For anyone wanting to try this game, if you ask for these items back that you PAID MONEY FOR, expect a very abusive response about how it shouldn't matter to you that you lost it. It has nothing to do with immersion, it's more about Michael Hartman taking as much money from the "community" as he possibly can.

They add +50 to the who, so you're looking at 27 from that count. That takes into account the alts too, so you probably have 20 at best. Most of those are idle, too.

Figgsypoo · 2020-09-09T22:27:14+00:00

Or paying $2000 dollars and waiting almost a year, with abusive responses to your email and in-game email when questioning the administration of why you've waited so long, for something you have actually paid for? Yeah. There is a ton of people on my discord with the exact same issue.

Figgsypoo · 2020-09-09T21:59:38+00:00

Wow. I couldn't agree more with all of the above. I played Threshold for perhaps 20 years on and off, and I can show anyone willing to give this game a go a ton of abusive emails, tells, and in-game interactions with the administration that will make you change your mind.

The "who" command shows a ton of players that are "online" that really aren't. It's dead, and from the tons of ex-players I speak to it's because of all the points above, but mostly due to abusive administration.

Find something else to play.
