My idea isn't to have hard work or exertion effect mana, but to have magic use effect the fatigue of the player. I'm just saying change the mana bar to the stamina bar. It would still look exactly the same but have a new name and use. Magic isn't at all dangerous right now (unless you don't use a wa...

Just make the cocoa plant real expensive and have it boost your skills for a short time. It also has a small amout of poison that won't do anything unless the cocoa is taken in large doses. Then after the effects drop off, the skill begin to drop below where they originally were. They can only be re...

Oh, yes. I know that stamina has been proposed before. This is just taking that idea a little farther. Having magic use take away stamina would just make magic more unique and make mages more distinctive. Magic is supposed to be difficult and dangerous. It's really not either. It would also give a d...

I know the stamina idea has been tossed around quiet a bit, but how about this instead. It would make the game rather unique (not that is isn't already) and would probably save some work. I got the idea from Lord of the Rings. In the book whenever Gandalf uses magic, he always seems tired. It's like...

I like this idea. It makes things much more realistic. And as long as we're discussing gems, I thought I would bring this up. Why are all the gems the same size? Why can't there be big, medium, and small gems, with big being the rarest? Maybe the same graphics could be used, just shrunk. That might ...

Sorry about the repeat posts, I kept getting a "couldn't send email" message and so I logged out and tried to post again a couple of times. The posts never showed up last night and I just now saw them and thought I should explain.

I vote yes, but I can't get the thing to let me vote. Just add it to total please if you don't mind (and yes I'm logged it, I just voted in Dyluck's poll)

So is the School still open or what? I just haven't heard anything since Ryland's last post and am wondering.

Dragons should definitely be a special event. When Saint George came to kill the dragon, Una (the fair princess, lady, thingy) had to go search him out specifically. The people didn't know what to do about a dragon. They had never seen one. Dragons are much more special if they're rare. And why not ...

Why not make it a dream? That way whenever they log on the next time, it's like they've been asleep and they remember the dream when they wake up. Just a suggestion.

Since I have only a very small knowledge of german, I didn't try to read all the posts that were in German. Therefore, I will simply ignore everything that has been said and speak out of my own ignorance (by the way, if someone wants to give a general translation of all those posts, I wouldn't mind ...

If any of the tools are "magical" then I think it would be nice if a mage was required to help make it. Maybe cast a spell on the ore before it is smithed, then on the item again after it's smithed. I just don't understand how something is going to be magical (i.e. firesword) if nothing is...

@Caranthir I played AD&D with a DM one time who had a very interesting rule. I hated the magic system AD&D had (having to memorize spells and stuff) and so did he. His rule was that no one can write down magic spells. That way, you couldn't make copies of a spell and give it to your friend o...

I haven't been around here in a while, but I finally got back today. Not with my old character though. I changed computers a few months ago and still haven't managed to retrieve my old files yet. I logged on today with a new character today named Terens. I went to the mining fields to make a little ...

Hello I remember reading a complaint a few days ago on some thread or other that there weren't enough RP spells.  i would like to say in reply to this that every spell in the game can be used in an RP fashion.  If there isn't a spell to do what you want, then just say you cast a spell which did what...

   The food idea is good in that it would provide more jobs for people.  Unfortunately it would create too many problems.  I don't know it you've ever played a game where this feature was implemented, but it gets old real fast.  every 20 - 30 minutes you get a little message saying "you are hun...

Darkend Blade I posted an idea for using the library on another thread.  I think that it would fit into what you are talking about with mages researching in the library.  I suggested that some of the books be written in different languages such as elvish, orcish, dwarvish . . .  A character only kno...

Wolin Can you please translate your "markttag" post?  I can read only a little bit of german (what I remember from Sophmore and Junior German in High School) but I think that the phrase "marktag" means "market day."  Is this right?  If so I think it sounds pretty much l...

Are the racial languages ever going to be used for anything?  I think it would be neat if a lizardman who only knew lizardish tried to say something to an orc who only knew orcish and all the orc saw on his screen was asdjfoainvie!dksnf8ADLF%dnf;(75jdksajfoidj[.  Or something like that.  I dont real...

Teesh I wanted to have the number of carpets limited and placed in one spot for various reasons.  First of all,  it would closer to what life was like in the middle ages.  The local lord would appoint one day every week or two to be a market day.  He would sell the privilege to put up a booth from w...

I like some of these ideas.  Especially the one about selling things off of a blanket.  I think it would be better if the players could bargain for the price.  Say that player 1 has a blanket on the ground with a sword, a set of chain mail, and a knight helm on it.  Player 2 walks by and sees the ch...
