I can't believe believe complain about this.

"Oh no, the game is a game once every so often! Gaaaah! Because I didn't spent any time doing anything except talking for hours and cybering in a corner, I suck at everything ever, nuuuuuuu."

AIRSHIPS.

Nuff said.

VBU. Give me Airships.

In this economy, I can't afford to spend my coins. I mean. I kill some dudes and all I get is a few coppers and then the all like one store in bane only has like crap weaps and I want like a sword. A cool sword and so I have to go to Northerot, but that sucks because theres only maces, so like, I me...

Hey, Hey Will, Hey.


Version, bro. Version.




I've been considering making my blog live again.....

Be Pro-active, not reactive!

I might start up my blog again with some illarion related content. If I have time or energy I might put together a basic banner package if anyones interested.

Does this go both ways? Aren't there also possibly people IG trying to learn English as well? I only ask because I have many friends who speak English as a second (or third or fourth) language and it is easier for them to learn to use it properly if I use it properly and consistently (this is a ver...

I think another problem with language is that nobody is willing to learn language. When playing a game like illarion, or anything else roleplay but not period enforced, you tend to run into a nasty problem of being crucified if you don't speak exactly like someone else wants you to speak. Although I...

Goodbye is malgamation of Godbew'ye which in itself is a contraction of "God be with you" Modern goodbye was first used in the 1700s. Godbew'ye was in wide use in at least the mid to late 1500's. Farewell, the first use I think in literature was between 990 and 1050. Either works really, I...

I personally think that "okay", no matter how it is written, is not a good word to use IG. Why is it so problematic to just use "alright" or something like that, something that sounds less modern than "okay"? Just my two cents on that part of the discussion. I don't vi...

It doesn't matter if OK came before Okay. In a practical use of modern english, Okay is now considered a more formal word than OK which will always just be two letters acting as an abbreviation, even if someday society decides it will stand for the word Okalydokaly. By which source? According to ev...

Not in convention, but invention. In the case of O.K, O.K was the first known usage. Thus the abbreviation came first. In the case of What the Hell, all of the words were established before the abbreviation. Thats why O.K is special in english language, nobody quite knows how it began, but everyone ...

Okay is the modern malgamation of O.K The first known use of O.K was in the late 1700's iirc. The etymology is heavily debated, between it being shorthand for "Oll Korrect" and some other crap im not willing to google, since thats what I take it to mean. Therefore fundamentally allowing &q...

It depends. There has been disccusion before on illarion and medievil. Illarion is a fantasy-medievil setting, so either greetings or hello works. Hello wouldn't have been used by most catholic/christian societies from the age of christianity through to the late 1800's when it first appears in books...

Err...speed limit? did I read that right?

"My Man" could work in a sentence, as it could be a paraphrase of "My good man" however, if an illagirl says "aint no way you touchin my man" then, theres a problem

After ten years, its finally nice to see someone supporting my view of "OK"

People who have explored are rare. There are people ive seen and talked to IG and OOC who didn't even know where half the stuff on the current map I've been to, even was.

How does crafting work?

How do I mine? (related to first)

How do I get better loot?

Why is there nothing to fight in Tol Vanima?

@Estralis, its great to see you out there working on the game dev side of things generating interest. But what I mean is, threads like the ones Achae and Athian started. When you have "Email" or "PM" the devs, nobody still knows whats being done. Open discussion is imo the way to...

I would be more then happy to offer my skills in areas like lore and writing and the like. A few years ago I offered to help work on the chronicle and translate english to german and german to english, but since my grasp of german is then shakey, and still quite shakey, it seemed more like I was lea...

Indeed, but I think a more reasonable first step is to get the site more functional. Get easier accessible lore. Bring back the already well written chronicle, as..whatever that is you have going on now, is not even a tenth of the text already written. Get all the lore and such back. Creatively fill...

I agree, but it needs to be taken in an approach that promotes players willing to learn or already skilled at RP. If we keep bringing in players who cannot RP, and steering the game into the MMO direction of NPC "go here, do this" script quests, eventually the purpose of illarion will suff...

That doesn't mean it can not be modified. The problem with lower draw is not the application system, its how the game is percieved. Illarion is an MMO, and would-be players treat it like an MMO. The fact that it is not an MMO but an actual role playing game is lost on most of them. Sounds more like ...

If elected GM, I will petition the staff to bring back the application process. And also, player based quests.

In addition to the cookies.

I have too always hated thought emotes. If your not saying or doing something tangible, don't write it. RP is not a novel, we are trying to play a game, not read a story. :roll: I agree with all of Achaes ideas of good roleplay. I think roleplay could be improved by going back to the application sys...

Why did you start playing, what were you looking for? I was young and bored with runescape. Thats about it really. Illarion was like 83 on a top 100 list in 2001, and I thought hey why not. If you quit, why did you quit playing and how long did you play before quitting? The first time I quit, was i...

yeha mor polls, more screens, more diarys and less devloping. Plz devs use the small time you have for illa to care about me and discuse about my opinion. I m important, not the devloping of the game! It is your dammed duty to inform me abou anything you do and ask me how you should make illa, beco...

Nalzaxx, I totally understand your reasons, obviously, I don't share your point of view, but that makes it my point of view and your point of view is yours ;-). What do you think we can do to improve the situation? What can we do to reduce the "vapourware" impression you got? Shall we sho...

I would happily help restore the moonsilver lore, the chronicle which is all mucked up, and the wiki, which I apparently was supposed to help with and forgot about entirely O_o

Mitchy Mitch Mitcherson, With all due respect, mate, you have this bad habit of postulating. Martin does not like me. Martin probably won't ever like me. And if he or I said otherwise, it would be a balls-out lie. Wouldn't it Martin? My name was brought up, a very long time ago, by other people. I c...
