Spider Bags: rowdy, sloppy country rock

Spider Bags:
"Blood For You"
"So Long A Rope"
(from A Celebration of Hunger 2007.)

So what does it take to rouse the Oak Room from its hibernation? Well, a great country rock CD in the mail seems to do the trick. I had heard rumblings that Chapel Hill's Spider Bags had signed to a label, but hadn't really been keeping tabs on the news -- so it was a real treat to find their upcoming Birdman Records release A Celebration of Hunger in my mailbox when I got home yesterday.

As I noted when I wrote about Spider Bags previously, they pull off an appealing mix of rock and country/roots influences -- not neccessarily the most ground-breaking stuff if you've listened to stuff from Bloodshot Records, but pretty rousing all the same. I haven't seen them live, but I bet they're a real good time -- a lot of it sounds like music to break beer bottles to. I posted a rowdy singalong, "Waking Up Drunk", the first time I wrote about these guys, so this time I'm showcasing a little more range. "So Long A Rope" is a little more mellow but still quite rootsy, while "Blood For You" turns down the country a bit and ramps up the rock.

Locals can catch Spider Bags at the Cave on March 10 (with like-minded NYC twang-rockers the Coy Dogs); if you're attending SXSW, you can see them at the Birdman showcase on March 14.

(And by the way, boo to SXSW for not sorting bands by state this year, but the crew over at the Daily Tar Heel's Diversions blog is keeping track of the local folks making the trek to Austin.)

Glad you're back!

Were you by chance at the Team In Training benefit Spider Bags played with Kingsbury Manx? That was my formal introduction to the levels of volume produced by Spider Bags, and it was one I won't soon forget.

Thanks for stopping by the DiveBlog, too.

Take care,

Bryan

Serviceable enough tracks but the true appeal for me here is how the band for those that caught it have directly borrowed their name from HBO's THE WIRE. Spider Bags being the name of some of the drugs being sold on the show's fictionalize streets of Baltimore, MD. Got my attention anyway.

If you'll refer to the first post of this thread, you'll notice I mention that we have already reported all identified bugs and glitches to the developers, including the arrow shower cool down issue. That has been around for a long time and we're still waiting for them to fix it. There's not much else I can really say for the matter.

The mods did quite a lot more for the game than just keep the forums clean of spam. They readily worked in-game to find cheaters to report to GMs, tracked down lots of great information regarding third party tools and hacking in general, and otherwise made themselves incredibly useful all around.

No clue.
I deal with hackers and cheaters more on the front lines for the most part. A lot of our recent efforts against third party tools have been directed at that specific well-known hack tool, but when it comes to patches and fixes made targeting third party tools and exploits, that's all on the shoulders of the developers. As is their usual habit, they tend to do things and then tell us about it afterward, so I generally don't know about these sort of fixes until after they've gone through and the specifics are usually not mentioned unless asked for directly.

Also, if enough cheaters/hackers/koxpers get banned, is it possible to bring the drop rate back up, and allow items to be sold to NPCs for the original price? It would be greatly needed for inflation. o.o

1-)Is it true that you will get your GM tools back in this week ? (Some forum members claim this.)

2-)What kind of consequences may the advent of your GM tools have regarding our game quality ? Can we expect massive cheater bans ? (especially for the cheaters who are reported in the cheat report sections.)

Aside from that, additional steps to prevent Nova Town abuse would be to add more Towers and, ultimately, change the spawn drop-point of the Chaos event to Moradon. Personally that would have been my first choice in dealing with the issue, but the developers expressed concern over causing lag and client crashes with such a move.

(2) Is the KOL team aware of the daily chaos stone + CZ Bifrost monster farming going on in CYPHER? YES, I've already posted in the CYPHER cheat report section, but that was 2-3 weeks ago. Last week, they (these cz-bowl gold farmers) disappeared for 2 days and I thought they were taken care of. But for the past 5 days, they've been back generally with TWO PARTIES now instead of just one (I don't know if it's two competing farmers, or just

No, that's just one of the five or six random things they somehow managed to break while applying a single, completely unrelated temporary quest to the game. We've already made them aware of that and various other issues. Fixes will be applied as they come.

You probably didn't look very hard then. As has been stated many times all over the forums and here in the Ask A GM thread, GMs are not assigned to a specific server. Any GM can be tagged to monitor any given server. If you have a cheat report to make, there is a suitable topic pinned in each server sub-forum.
