OK, I am going away on holiday starting tomorrow, so probably won't post until Monday, but we'll see if I can get an introductory post in

One more thing, Makofan...Is this the live player map used now? and if so, where the hell are we in it?

Yes, it is (I have been updating it). We are currently on level 4, in the wide hallway to the north of the room with the elevator. (The elevator is the square with concentric squares inside it).

Thanks to Nailus for saving me somewhat from my “Leeroy Jenkins” moment!

Makofan, I'll be away for the next 1-2 weeks, please NPC Aldbane in my absence.

Will do

I'll be away until Friday or Saturday.

Sorry for the Forbidden issues in the last month. We've been hammered by bots and I've been trying different things. It's not a VPN issue it's 100% me writing and re-writing rules. I made an adjustment that hopefully will be good enough. -Mike

Thanks Mike, I can sympathise, as my own gaming forum has been hit hard as well, and what finally fixed it for me is this:

https://github.com/splitbrain/botcheck

(Which is also used by The Old School RPG Planet, and where I first saw it used.)

I like it because unlike the proof-of-work or captcha solutions (e.g. Anubis or Cloudflare), it does not require a proxy or javascript (but uses javascript if available). It also has nice IP whitelisting capabilities that are preconfigured for the larger search engines, and you can also whitelist by user agent.

I am managing to get in by going to https://forum.immersiveink.com, then changing it to http://forum.immersiveink.com and pressing enter, which switches it back to https, but now allows me to click on links
