Ich hoffe zu kommen.
Verlängertes Wochenende.

I can think of two possible solutions for that problem: 1. You only learn from mistakes. If you succesfully hit an opponent, you don´t learn anything. If you cast a spell succesfully, you don´t learn a thing. But if you miscast or don´t hit, you learn. This would give newbies a quicker learning-pace...

Thx, Damien. At least SOMEBODY that knows other systems than the mainstream. From my experience, the exp. point system leads mostly to players trying to get as much points as possible, even in pen and paper systems. And it depends on the gamemaster to keep them in order. In an online game there´re n...

GREAT! These are things that could make Illarion more interesting. Agrimase, Darlok and I were talking about a bank/depot just yesterday. The weight would balance the game a lot. But we were talking also about some special metals/materials. Like Mithril or Adamant (or some other names for that). You...

If you look at WHAT RPG-systems use levels, you get your answers. AD&D, D&D, RoleMaster, etc. These are all systems of the first and second generations. In newer systems you won´t find levels anymore, because of the hinderance of ROLE-playing. The most GOOD systems are skill-based. The older...

Perhaps we should give it ORCS then? If they want to sacrifice their lives for their gods, why not make them?
Gaithea, the mistress of the wilderness, will watch their behaviour, and punish all insults, swiftly and merciless.

So, the little girls play with power? If you ally with the Shadowens, don´t forget the risk to join them in their uttermost destruction.
And don´t mess with the PKs. Most of them could kill you easily, and who will be the ones that go complaining on the board?

Essentially a great idea! Would give new options for earning money. But it would add a bit more punishment (or otherwise banditry possibilities) if the catcher could take items from the bound person. A law-enforcer would maybe give the money to his guild, for the "furthering of the public"...

They are just afraid of what the rangers will do to them, if they show up again, Garyth!
Hunting orcs is a bit more fun, than just hunting animals. But sadly, you can´t eat them, ´cause of the stink!

The rules are ok, but what about executing them? At the moment, they are nothing more than words. Without the meanings to carry them through, they´re meaningless! I think one solution would be a small arena, where players can duel, or just train. In that spot all limitations would fall off, and it w...

In my own pen-and-paper RPG I deal with professions in this way: Every profession has a different time of apprenticeship. After this time, you start with specific skill-bases. This represents the average skill of a person that has done his time under a teacher. You get also an amount of points to sp...

I had the same prob today. I got a lizard and an elf, but not my char. But a look at status proved: The server is online.
Looks like a bigger prob than just a crashed server.

@Tinari: Sorry for the mess. A short translation: I propose a "Players-Court" where players can blame PK or criminals. These would get the chance to defend themselves, and other players could be heard as witnesses also. Then the players could vote for "guilty" or "not guilty...

I think, I heard this talk in too many realms throughout the multiverse. It always means oppression! Neither chaos nor order give freedom, only the balance! Empires come and go, but our free will is the only thing to hold on to. I see behind your thin propaganda. Your true goal is total control, tot...

@Eleanor und Q: Ist das was schlechtes, aus Österreich zu kommen? Bin ich nämlich auch!

Change one trouble for an even greater? I don´t think I´d like this.
I rather take my chances with the Pks, than bow before an ursupator!

Please, no vampires (I hate that game!). It would be diffifult to explain vampires walking around at daytime anyway! But how about lycanthropes? A nice curse, if played well. But this would lead to some PKs running around as werewolfs, killing with even greater power. All these monsters are things f...

Warum muß sich eigentlich jeder an die Götter wenden? Ich hab´da mal eine UO-Shard gefunden, die hatten ein "Spieler-Gericht". Ich denke, eine solche Einrichtung würde den Göttern einiges an Arbeit abnehmen, und das Spiel bereichern. Ich denke mir das so: Ein Spieler führt Klage (auf einem...

Yes, Bror, I was afraid of something like that (I hate Episode I, and especially Jarjar ...). But if you think back, this race got only amphibious features, not reptilian. But why not making them live in swamps? They would have enough warmth, and water too. Someday I hope, it will be possible, to ge...

I think, that a prison island is a good idea, but how can someone get there? And is there a possible escape? I hope, that someday it will be possible to deal with PKs RPG-like. I mean, they should be punished by players, not by the gods. Why not giving certain chars some new skills, like bonding or ...

Hi While reading the stuff about races, I encountered a detail, that made me thinking. Lizardmen live in underwater cities. How do you explain a REPTILE living UNDER water? All right, this is fantasy, but I think, if adding a biological reptilian race, a few thoughts should be given to the details. ...

I would be glad, if there were some new wooden items too. There´s not even an equivalent to the firesword for wooden weapons. How about special arrows or bows?

Hi, Sirius! I think you fight only in european style, right? Well, european weapons are bit heavy and clumsy, so you´re right about using two shields as an advantage. But try it against a fighter with a lighter weapon like a sabre. I think, you would be astonished! In game, a fighter with a dagger c...

El, perhaps they are as mad as "The Veiled Mages"? Or just as greedy?

Hi I had some thoughts about dying in Illarion. 1. If you die, your belongings should fall to the ground, but stay there for a while, so you could get them back (or somebody takes them). This would lead to forming parties also, for they could carry your things. 2. As a really DRASTIC method, you wou...

Just a question of meaning: What do you mean with "parry"? Parry, in my opinion, means "to block an incoming attack". This leads to further questioning, if I can´t block a swing with my blade also. So, a fighter with two shields is almost invulnerable, but I would say so only for...

Then they feel shame for belonging to your guild? Or is it indeed a shame? If they don´t do any harm, they will not be knocked off, right?

Seems like Crystal Star is the only member. Or did you just forget the members list?
Anyway, you seem not fit to rule even your guild - how will you rule a land?

I´m shaking with fear, brrr
You killed me today, but I came back like a yoyo. And if your demands don´t go down, you´ll be the one who´s got to watch his back.
If you want money, work or kill monsters. Otherwise I consider this banditry and will have to deal with you accordingly.
