Error

Got a message while I was playing today that there had been an error--check the server files for specifics. Once I got the game to reboot, I was right back where I started the game today--ALL progress lost! This is not the first time. I dont care to hear excuses from the designers. I dont care what ...

Re: Questions about citizenship & rank

Thank you for your replies. I was asking in more general terms, but yes, I had thought about leaving to gain magic gems in the other cities since they are so hard to find. Other people just dont want to part with them and am progressing soooooo painfully slooooow. And so you know, if you care, I wil...

Questions about citizenship & rank

Greetings All, If I were to leave Galmair, renouncing my citizenship, and go to Runewick, taking citizenship. Then, at some later time return to Galmair, would I retain the rank I had when I renounced Galmair or have to start at the bottom, earning my rank back? Would I have to repeat the beginning ...

Re: On plants // Über Pflanzen

Act or do not act. Bah! The mages have a responsibility to Runewick and its citizens. Doing nothing is a decision to avoid their responsibilities. I will return to Runewick when it is safe to farm again. In the meanwhile I shall sell my foodstuffs to the citizens of Galmair, maybe even Cadomyr, if t...

Re: Orc & bone piles

Last evening I tried to burn the bones but was unsuccessful. Tonight the bones are gone and hopefully we farmers can go back to work without the hazard of foul creatures attacking us at our labors!
Thanks the good Gods that MAS has passed!

Orc & bone piles

Tonight I had a shock as I went to the fields to farm. I saw many piles of bones lying on the ground in the fields and before I could go closer to examine them, I was attacked by an Orc shaman that threw fireballs at me! I was injured, but only mildly because I turned and ran as fast as I could for ...

If fire seems a threat to the plant growth, why not burn them out and remove the threat? Sounds like its time to pack up my tent and move to some place a lot less hazardous.

Re: Mad dwarf.

I am not clear with your reply. Did I do something wrong reporting this? Should I have put my in game name to the report so that the dwarf or his friends can track me down and take retribution? The report was unsigned, but I can correct that by eliminating my report. Let someone else take the heat. ...

OK, figured out what was wrong. To pick up eggs, you must have a husbandry score of at least 1. A score of zero isn't enough to pick an egg off the ground. Hmph.
