I do not really know where this would belong so I'm placing it on the general boards - moderators please relocate this post if I am incorrect in placing it here. I wanted to let those who I have come to know in the past month that I will be taking a departure from the game. After intensively reading...

I think the metal leggings should be made available the same time that strength/class/race limit what class armor you can wear. You can't expect to see grand mages running around in full body armor, nor would I expect tp see hobbits wearing these sorts of heavy armor items.

((OOC)) I use XP Pro at home and have not encountered any compatibility issues. "XP compatible" is just Microsofts way of making softwared developers pay to have some flag in XP that says it will run without conflict. It does not mean that a program won't run anyways.

What about "Furry Feet Anonyomus"? ((Sorry, couldn't resist))

It would seem that the game would allow for the spirit form to be an acceptable unconcious simply by saying that players pass into a spirit form before they die. At this point conventional weapons wouldn't seem appropriate to strike a spirit. However magic would seem more logical but the effects sho...

First, I want to thank everyone who provided feedback and also thank those the just spent their time reading my message in the first place. I appreciate the positive responce, which again reminds me of what makes Illarion great is the players. I would especially like to thank Dyluck for his comments...

NOTE: ALL PARTS ARE MY PERSONAL FEELINGS AND NOT THAT OF MY CHARACTER This one I'm sure I will get flammed for but after reading a number of posts on the boards, both new and old, I have observed a bit of hostility towards new players from old ones. Now before the people sitting behind the screen s...

I'm not a 100% sure on the level of loss and how that is decided but all skills loose some when you die. I have heard rumors that attacking ghosts or the duration you spend as a ghost will result in a greater loss of skill, however I have no proof to back this up. Further, it is my understanding tha...

parry - to ward off or deflect (a blow, the thrust of a sword, etc.)

Asteron, If you think you are frustrated now wait until you actually learned the runes and you try to cast spells which you will only succeed every once in 15 try... which by then you will have used up all your magic. So you'll have to save up money to buy magic potions which you will go through lik...

Logic would suggest that you would get more experience for a succesful parry rather than actually getting hit. However it would seem that Mantro is correct, in my experience as well I have noticed that your parry increases proportionally to the amount of dmg you take. I do believe there are other fa...

Just wanted to say thank you for the invitation and look forward to meeting some of the other members. I can usually be found fishing or farming in Trollsbane, so feel free to be friendly and introduce yourself.

I noticed over the past couple of weeks that there seems to be a combination of actions seems to create an increased lag to the point that the game closes because of slow connection rating. I noticed at digging for stones for about 20-30 min that when I tried to move it would break up each step. Aft...

Salathe, not that I am in a postion to be critcal of anyone's artwork but your grapes look a wee bit more like a purse than fruit. Actually it makes you look like a teletubie than a dangerous lizard man. - Not that a teletubie with a spear isn't dangerous.... but you know.

One possible solution to the color problem is to refrain from using a single color back round. Gradient or textured colored backgrounds for inventory slots would reduce blending items, such as coal, which are predominately one color. The gradients or textures should have certain properties such as t...

Well I'm glad they decided to let us remain having avatars at all! @Tyrth Coshi--If you do a bit of checking around there are freeware programs that will allow you to resize an image verses streching and/or skewing an image-which causes that unwanted distortion. I use to have installed LViewPro, eva...

@Tyrth Coshi,

Yes, and I wanted to thank thee for thy suggestion! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) The avatar finished up nicely. Sadly, I fear that it may have been for naught if the sigs and avatars options are removed.

I get the distinct impression that applications are reviewed most intensively on the weekends. I say this only because I submitted a question request last Friday or thereabouts and by Sunday had the questions portion of the application. Sadly, they were in German so I replied requesting and English ...

I understand the site administrators concerns over the types of signatures that emerge and even the types of avatars that can be imported. I further realize that there may be issues surrounding bandwidth and storage limits that may have gone unmentioned. To impart my own view, both of these items ca...

This is my first attempt at background writing so please let me know what you think with that in mind. Part One - Into Darkness As I stared into the water I realized that I was not alone. Not as though Acaessa had come back but a piece of me had grow stronger since she died. I carried with me her s...

Waiting is hell... "Utopia, sure you're on you way there. We'll send you an e-mail and tell you when you get in." :!: All joking aside, the game is well worth the wait and it sounds like there have been some great developments since I was last able to play. I'm very excited and anxious to ...
