Re: VBU and mage chars

If you feel that the temporary loss of a magic system is going to ruin your character then, I'm sorry, but you can't have had much of a character to begin with. There is really nothing to do but see this as the roleplaying challenge that it is. Complaining, pointing out the negative consequences, st...

Re: How do you roleplay ghosting

@grokk: I agree that any roleplayer should think about how his character handle a situation in which he died and how he change maybe afterwards. Anyway i don't agree that it have to change anyone. In reason of my job i know many people were reanimated in reason of a heart attack or similar event. S...

Re: How do you roleplay ghosting

How can you take death seriously when you can just go to a cross. Because the character doesn't know this. As a player, sure, you know that you can continue to resurrect your character indefinitely. Unless you want them to, they will never stay dead. Death in Illarion just isn't a big deal to the p...

Re: VBU Q&A Revisited

Perhaps I should try to clarify my concerns... particularly with the direction the VBU quests appear to be taking. Is there any intention to involve committed and current players in politics at an early stage in the VBU? Surely you risk alienating a sizeable proportion of players if you do not invo...

Re: VBU Q&A Revisited

As Nitram stated, the bug exploitation is not the primary reason behind the possible gem wipe. It is simply one of many factors that will influence their ultimate decision. If the gems are wiped, it will be the result of a significant overhaul to the gem system as a whole. These changes that Nitram ...

Re: Ingame Interferences

If you ever have an issue with the way another player is interacting with your character, try speaking to them about it.

Re: Ingame Interferences

It ought to be acknowledged that, in the current state of the game, being banished from Troll's Bane is effectively no different than being locked up in prison. In both cases you are reducing the chance that the player will find roleplay to what might as well be nil. People threw a tantrum over the ...

Having both is essential for a diverse and interesting world, and for the purposes of a roleplaying game I would say the greater the contrast the better. When you have contrast you will more likely have conflict, which as many have already said has made for their most exciting and intense experienc...

As explained, Mary Sue is certainly a viable character, and there's no call to put down characters just because you personally don't like them. I'm not sure what you are getting at with the discussion of archetypes. The fact that a character adheres to an archetype has very little bearing upon whet...

Re: Becoming Evil

Re: Becoming Evil

If you make chars that are purely "good" or "evil", you'll end up with stereotypics sooner than you want. I would suggest to play a character with balanced dephts and heigths, and generally avoid playing something too "uncommon". If you still prefer playing an "ev...

Re: Becoming Evil

That would work well, sure. But there's no "best" way to play any type of character.

My advice is just to be prepared for the drama that will find its way onto your doorstep once you disturb Arcadia. And not the good kind of drama, mind you.

The application system was removed for a reason, and it would make no sense to reintroduce it now, with the state of Illarion being as it is.
