Rejuvenating in battle/far away - weird skin change...

[Chryseis Fyre]

When someone's too far away or in battle it says "This person is too far away to appraise." - but for me the whole screen changes too sometimes...?

The silver'gray skins on the top and left disappear... everything goes black, the words "This person is too far away to appraise." is in red, and in the top left corner just says DG in red lettering... And the menu bar changes to just white text saying the links like the following:

I am not "old" enough in the game to know if this is an old layout for the game for not... It might be because I use Firefox as a web browser not IE.

Just thought someone should know in case it was a bug.

Thanks!

Oh yeah - sometimes by refreshing or hitting go back everything snaps back to the right appearance...

That's the old style

You get the message the person is too far away because you can't appraise someone who is in battle: Imagine what would happen if you tried to heal, but the person is hit by his enemy, and you heal the enemy instead of the adventurer.....

LOL

I understand WHY it comes up - but the fact that it changes the whole layout is odd and shouldn't happen... I'm assuming.

This is the "classic" interface (ie what we had before it turned into what we have now...)

It is an odd little quirk of the game - it does happen, but only for certain screens, and generally when you have tried to do something that you weren't supposed to do

Old school is cool

It appears when you:
try to appraise in battle
don't have enough money for potions


That's all I can think of for now

or if you hit your appraise link when you're signed on a different character.
