Exactly.  You have to be part of a particular "group" to get that info.
Well, of all the players that play AG who would be interested in knowing
what the Glowing Topaz scroll did, what percent do you think know what
the scroll actually does?  What percent got that for free?  What percent
got that for free who don't play high power level characters?  See a
recurring pattern here?

Part of the fun of AG is learning what Hugh has thought of next.
Also it's sort of like the quest for the Holy Grail.  You may not be able
to ever REALISTICALLY get it, but knowing that it's out there lends some
hope, faith, or inspiration.  Maybe it's just me, but I get really bored
doing the same things with the same characters. I like fighting new
creatures, go to new places, learning new things (even start new
characters) .  Other people feel the same way.  My guess is that's why
Hugh is always adding new things to the game, to keep it fresh.  So when
you say no big deal that I don't know something that really won't help my
character anyway I say it is a big deal.  This is one of the reasons why I
play AG.

Later,
