I dunno. I know I've said this a lot on and off over the years, but really, bringing back how things "used to be" (the days when Serpardum was a GM before some bright minds decided to make Illarion resemble boot camp) would make this game a whole lot more popular (while still keeping the g...

basicly i noticed that every now and then, even though there are like 18 people on line i dont even run into one... So i had this idea, why not if there is an interesting roleplay, or multiple people in one spot, or even just 1 person looking for someone to roleplay with, just post here... Im sure ...

What sort of system doesn't reward powergaming? Right? One thing that has never really been defined in Illarion - powergaming. What is it? Nonstop training for 4 hours? 2 hours? 30 minutes? What? You can't stop players from wanting to make their characters powerful in the shortest amount of time po...

Problem is, there's nothing to do outside of Trollsbane.

I think we should concentrate on getting more than 16 people online a day before we worry about populating cities.

Don't want to lose your stuff and skill? Then don't put yourself in a situation where you could get clouded.

I haven't been back a while. Got bored this weekend, decided to stop by.

I oppose any thieving system as long as catching people is as huge pain in the ass as it currently is. Simply because a system where the success of thieving no longer depends from the cooperation of the victims, but where catching the thief depends on his cooperation will suck ass. You should consi...

The people arguing that you must pg your life away in order to be taken seriously ig are pissing me off. Surely you want to attract more players, not deter them from the game. Forcing them to sacrifice their life to the yard for a month before you recognise their rp is very counter-productive. Ther...

I admit I did not read the posts above. But I feel the need to post my criticism on the current skill system. Many aspects are very good and must not be kaputtrepariered, as Avalyon pointed out. Good Aspects Learning by doing - you get better in what you do Steep learning curve - higher levels are ...

Thanks for the drawing Konrad. It's so well done, makes me want to cry with joy. Kudos on the others as well, you're a Paint natural.

A man with short, black hair with traveler's clothing and a dark, grey cloak walks by the postings on the board. After glancing briefly over them, he rubs his chin, thinking to himself...after a moment has passed, he grins and carefully writes a fresh note. [/b] "This contest will be determine...

I enjoy a mix of having a character with high, badass fighting skills and the roleplaying that's involved. Open endedness is fun too...my only beef with the current system is that it takes so much time and effort to do things that would otherwise be fun. For example, Konstantin pointed this out...it...

The trio playing the cards in the shop then chatted with in the tavern. Cheers.

Once upon a time you could drink beer (or "yellow potions" back in the day) with your buddies while you killed ogres and took their money. Now those were good times, before Northerot was even built.

Face it, most of net users don't want to roleplay. This is why illa will never be as successful as other games unless it gets a lot more lenient. That depends on your definition of "role playing." I call it bringing your character to life by giving him his own personality and not mixing i...

Back then the technical system was much more loose and random, which was more fun to some. These days it isn't bad, but maybe if it had more commercial appeal more people would play?

I've been playing and going on the forums off and on for about 5 years, almost 6.

I liked the old elven man who tripped over a root and read wisdom as a reward.

If you can't beat them, join them. Playing a bad guy is hard when he's overt about everything he does. The real well played bad guys are ones that accept society won't accept them for doing their deeds openly, so they do it in secret with no desire for recognition. Has nobody learned anything from t...

Arist, I liked the picture a few pages back. Hot.

Since the account system was introduced.

Keep in mind ladies and gents that formal war was declared. Fair and unfair things will happen, especially with hostile encounters.

My newest character Mortanius trains to fight at the tombs, and I notice that the mummies on the first level are very easy - with average weapons and armor, he is able to dispatch many of them without losing half of his health. However when he reaches the second level below, it takes one or two mumm...

I, like the way you think.

Of course I think throwing it in an unseen corner so it will disappear later works better.

I agree Garett, but the reason this post was written was to calm down those who are increasingly frustrated with the technical side of Illarion, or at least help them think in a more lackadaisical manner about it. It's true that one should have their skills and role playing hand in hand, but people...

I'm aware that for the last couple of years I have complained a lot about the skill system - I have called it slow, time consuming, etc. etc. But I'm making this topic to put some other players' minds at ease if they ever find themselves frustrated with the system. Illarion is a game meant to be pl...

I'm pretty sure you have to pay up in support to get access to that board. Ask Martin or another administrator for details on it.

It's a shame to see you go, and unfortunately, I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of RP'ing with you. :cry: But you have decided that playing Illarion has interfered with too much of your free time, and therefore you are cutting it off. Good on you, you have enough willpower to put real life p...

Or Jonnie Walker. I wanted Jonnie at least, but nooo, I had to get a more American (meaningless) name.

It depends on what you're fighting and how good you are, really. For instance, with Maggie: if I fight a pig with swords, I will 'try' to learn slashing weapons each time I make a strike. If I use my staff, I learn nothing. If I'm fighting a mummy with swords, I will 'try' to learn slashing with ea...

2. It's like smoking xD First thing ot do when one comes home... turn the computer on and check the forum. Hehe, tell me about it. Sometimes I know that having a smoke late at night won't give me a "buzz" I'm looking for, but I like to habitually go out and light one up because I know the...

Good ideas as well, but regarding the dove suggestion...that's a bit sticky. I'd say make the dove sending timed, as it may be in the real world...say, 5 to 7 minutes for a message to be sent from character to character? Now, there wouldn't be a limit as doves may fly around all the time ('cause Ill...

Boredom always yields a personalized topic.

So, why people? Why?

I'm not really sure why I'm still here, but apparently I do enjoy it otherwise I wouldn't still be around. 3 years going on 4, sheesh.
