I know it is likely to be a good ways off but when and IF the Cleric is ever fleshed out as a character I am wondering which attributes they would need. I realize this is pure speculation but I'd love to hear some opinions from the other players here. I assume that a Cleric would have to have a rela...

Many thanks to Murgo and Jag.

I stand corrected. And also a bit less comfortable behind my shield.

The fact that NPC's sell crap at a high price and buy items for next to nothing is good...DO NOT change that! It forces one to seek out tradespeople ingame to do business if you want a good deal or a quality item. Gemcutting I agree. The success rate is way off. "Shields as smithed items. Total...

The Utopian availability of free foods cooking a moot question. The island is a cornucopia of fruits and fish. Until some balance is created why would anyone bother to obtain cooked foods? One can collect 500 apples in a half hour. And carry them all seemingly without encumbrance. Carpenters will sc...

Now it becomes clear why Nitram is upset about the upsurge of pregnancies. Given the small size of the genepool here (and who is in it) the next generation born on the island will be at a severe disadvantage.

So you're a Geordie? That would explain everything.

What does this have to do with evolution? You are talking about aging. Evolution would be if your character was born with some manner of genetic mutation that could be carried on to future generations. Now that I think of it perhaps you ARE a mutant!

What about the possibility of guards that actually...guarded? I remember somewhere being told when I arrived that it was illegal to have weapons armed when in Bane proper. Guards that attack anyone who actually has a weapon in their hands until it is either disarmed or they are ghosted? Problem is i...

I think this is a bit beyond what you have in mind right now and I will also post in under proposals. When I first arrived in Bane I was told that it was illegal to walk around town with a weapon in your hands. I would occasionally forget to sheath my sword and was reprimanded by other players on at...

Has the Prince/Mesha made any explanation of exactly how they intend to rule Bane? Would not some specific declaration of exactly what will happen under GM rule go a long way towards dispelling player fear and the panic that seems to have taken hold? From what I've read it seems that some of the sam...

In Medieval Europe pretty much everyone carried a knife of some sort. From the farmer to the hunter right down to the poorest peasant knives were an important tool for everyday use. It might be a very primitive thing but it was an indispensable item for living. Not to be confused with a dagger which...

Thank you for the explanations. Personally, I like the rather Draconic Rule that kept your char. ingame if you try to escape a situation. It made players who liked to solo in dangerous areas on their toes.

Right then. I thought that was the deal.

A short while ago I was out training my sword skills and while I was in a fight with a Goblin warrior my connection was lost by accident. The computer became unplugged from the wall and I had to reboot. In another game I played before I discovered Illarion (Oberin) if you quit the game while targete...

I have been on the island for about three months now and for the entire time I have heard whispers and warnings about the Temple. The fact that some dark entity exists adds an element of interest to the game for me. From what I gather so far the Temple has degenerated from a group with real goals an...

Is there not a way to steal already ingame? I was attacked and knocked out by another player. While my char was out he was robbed of two new swords and bound by a rope. When he regained consciousness he was being dragged toward the north gate. Other players intervened and the robber ran off. Less th...

Am I correct in assuming that a mule will not go thru a portal behind you?

I have to smile as I walk along. I see a rabbit peek out from behind a bush and I ask him (hoping he does not answer because then I'll know that I have finally been driven mad) "Mr Rabbit... do you think the inhabitants of Bane feel complimented?" Of course he doesn't answer. He looks at m...

I attempt to play but still get a message telling me the connection is severed because the server is shutting down.

If you walk north from the harbor you see a signpost. As you look at it more closely you will notice the word "Troll's" has been covered over. The sign now reads Fools Bane.

My skills have not grown so far yet. I know that the process slows as you gain skill. I have been watching the meter before and I can see it move even slowly as I gather the honey. As I said 50 would have gotten me a good amount of growth recently.I cannot believe that I've grown so skilled so fast ...

My farming is pretty low and so gathering honey makes the level raise pretty fast. Granted it takes a good amount of time.Today, however, I have gathered over 50 honeycombs with no growth at all on the skill meter! Is skills meter not working or perhaps it is just me? I'll relog and see what happens...

"I'm not sure how possible NPCs escaping is, however it would be very nice to see that ingame."

There is a game called Oberin that has exactly that. The npc animal will fight you until it is wounded to a certain point and then it tries to escape.

Right now the only two food animals to hunt are deer and rabbits I believe. I admit I have not hunted the big cats yet but from what I gather you get no meat from a kill as you also do not get meat from wolves. Swine and cattle are not hunted. You just follow them around and bash them until they fal...

And where is this information? I searched the forums and found little information. In the Books in the libraries ingame? Sorry but I haven't read every bloody book yet. That list of events is impressive indeed. Are any celebrated on Gobaith? I've seen little evidence. Or does one have to go to the m...

Are there any on the Illarion calendar? I've heard of one held by the elves but none other. There are no great holidays celebrated here? I noticed not even a harvest celebration before the onset of winter. Nothing to celebrate the end of winter? Religious Holidays of each race? Every culture has som...

Why not make it available to herbalists and farmers both? Location and time of year will determine what spices/herbs are grown and in what amount. Spices will give extra value to foods and the herbs will have value to those who make potions. Simple. Those who buy food and potions will benefit as wel...

You don't get any warning when some arse draws a sword and attacks you do you? Other than looking to see if they are holding the weapon already? Why should you get a warning when a mage attacks?

There were numerous times during the first few waves of the recent attack that the entire field was covered in emotes. I don't mean the idiots playing lutes or the people "Waving a huge sword over their heads". That's to be expected. I mean the mages. Can't the mage spell casting emote be ...
