Pimpernell's eyes widen at the descriptions of iron, gold, elements and - did Bernie say WIZARDS?! Will he be paying him in wizards? Could Pimpernell have his own wizard? To conjure more wood, perhaps? Wait, that can't be right, I've lost track. "Do we have a deal?" he hears, blinking out ...

Excited to get the showrunner's attention, Pimpernell plops down on the log by Bernie and happily reaches for the apple cider, peering down into it. He takes a quick whiff, scrunches up his nose at the sweet, yet strong smell but forces down a sip to impress. "My name is Pimpernell and I'm goin...

The young halfling, spotting the scribble at the bottom of his parchment rushes at full speed to the post, screeching to a stop. He reads the Malchus' note and spends an inordinate amount of time counting something on his fingers. He rubs his chin thoughtfully, pulls another piece of paper from his ...

A scroll is tacked on a post right outside of Galmair, at about waist height for humans. The writings seems painted on by some inky paste that smells vaguely of berries.

A young halfling boy covered in sawdust rips himself out of the workshop, his curiosity piqued by the fanfare outside. He waddles outside and dusts himself off, eyes widening as Bernie introduces himself. "Oh sir! SIR!" The halfling yelps as he squeezes past the tall folks of the crowd, ma...

I'd like to bring to forum-goers' attention that a discussion on the Illarion Discord has been started concerning the current ongoing project to make "Troll's Haven", a central hub where players would be encouraged to spend time, in order to bring people together and thus ensure new player...

Estralis and other staff, you don't get paid to do this. Every second you invest in Illarion is an act of generosity and anyone with a hint of reason including myself appreciate your efforts a lot. Just a vocal minority that whines otherwise. You don't need to justify yourselves for when you can or ...

One main town to resolve your playercount issues

Rest well Kokomo.

Sorry for your pain Irania. You were both lucky to enjoy each other for 15 happy years!

You can get new players, but they won't stay because they don't experience what Illarion has to offer; roleplay. Illarion doesn't offer gameplay. If someone wants RPG gameplay, they won't play Illarion, they'll play any one of hundreds of other games that do RPG better than Illarion. What Illarion d...

Before this delves into who is at fault and why and arguments and disagreements spawning from that, let's look at this from another angle. How can we, as a group, make it better? What can we all do to improve the situation? The same old player events can grow boring. Heck, even I don't want to just...

Why is this in general board?

Thanks

And how do people obtain these gems?

Can someone please explain the whole gems thing to me?

It's now possible, engine-wise, to mask your name?

Can someone please explain the whole gems thing to me?

Can someone explain what the "gems" stuff has to do with this? I'm curious. I don't know what the gems do in Illarion now, back in my time they just let you make weapons stronger if I recall?

Unfortunately I'm usually at work when everyone is online

*grabs player Karl and gets him to bring his char in game* :D Ahh I really wish dear :( Whenever I'm home and ready to do some gaming, I check Illa but there are barely five or six players on - I don't know the towns nor the map and wouldn't know where to find people in general, it's just discourag...

I now have six years of experience with Steam integration and getting and marketing your game on Steam, I've worked on several project, both Greenlit, released in Early Access and fully launched on Steam. If you guys go that way, don't hesitate to let me know. I'm very convinced it'll increase the g...

Hi, thanks for asking! We have a 52 pages concept that covers most aspects but there are some open points, especially client sided (GUI, how to pick targets, how to "store" spells). For both, server and client, we have a single source situation with just one developer each. So any ETA/sch...

Okay, lets try something else, since most seem to disagree that concentrating the playerbase in the same region is a good idea.

Since the current method of promotion is clearly not working, what's a solution to increase the playercount now?

Thanks, it's good to know it's still being worked on.

Is a realistic ETA possible to come up with or is it too vague/impossible to predict?

Hey everyone! I'd like to bump this thread again and bring it to the wonderful team's attention. Since the creation of this thread, the argument against bringing players closer geographically (as opposed to splitting them into three towns) was that there were plans to promote and raise the playercou...

Hey guys! I haven't been keeping up with Illa recently! One of the (major) things keeping my interest away is the lack of magic and spells, so I was wondering what the development status is? No longer planned at all? Planned, but not yet designed? Designed but not yet developed? Already in developme...

Nitram wrote:The plan for the next months is clear

Can you share what the plan is?

So we are now supposed to hold all developments for the next 3 to 4 years and redo the map and all the content scripts and lore again to change back to a single town? I do not believe that this will help the survival of Illarion. :wink: Neither will ignoring the issue and pretending all is well. I'...
