Add a 'location' for quests, that is enabled when the player reaches a specific step. Once this location is known, the player can simply "remember" where the place is, and get back there easily. Of course this would probably only work in the outside. Add a "location" sub-type to the "knowledge" command, which would keep such locations. Could be linked to quests, or specific points in the world ("you feel like you can remember how to get to this place"). Maybe enable the player to define her own locations based on her position in the world map. Basically a free GPS - my concern with items is that it's useful for low-level players, but definitely not often easy to find...

Agreed, on that, but let's face it, there aren't many maps being added/modified lately... So in the meantime *cough*years? decades?*cough* some workaround would be nice...

You should probably ask that of the people in IRC... :P As for the Discord bridge, the simplest solution is to set up a second bridge with Libera, before tearing down the old one. But, I'll wait for more guidance before executing that.

DraugTheWhopper — 05/30/2021 @Leaf if I read you correctly, you're asking that I break the IRC-Discord bridge away from freenode, and attach it to Libera instead?

I figured you'd want a critical mass of IRC users to head for the new channel firs though.

If someone wants to be in IRC, but not have their messages sent to Discord (and thus not be subject to any type of Discord logging or TOS), a technical solution could probably be devised. As long as a regex can be built that will encompass all possible variants of an IRC nick (in case you use multiple names when logging in from multiple locations), I can configure matterbridge to skip ingestion of any message from that nick. Other options are available, like skipping messages whose content matches a regex, but I think that's less relevant. Someone brought up a possibility of bridging IRC to Matrix as well, and I seem to recall reading about the Libera staff working on native Matrix bridging within Libera. If someone would like to see presence on another platform whether bridged to IRC or not, please make it known. Some folks already work hard to keep at least a cursory presence on platforms like Facebook, etc, and "where there's a will, there's a way". :) --DraugTheWhopper.

Hearing no objections, I think it's safe for you to go ahead and do this. If we find out we're missing anything, we can always revert from history. Regards, Kevin
