Re: The State of Illarion from a crotchety old player. Again

A few years ago I would have been all over this thread, diving headlong into the argument on one side or the other. But I really think this thread is getting a bit too personal on both sides. There are horn-locking ideals being displayed here, but it doesn't really need to be that way. I'd like to s...

Re: The State of Illarion from a crotchety old player. Again

There are no people coming because WE do not want them to. They don't come because we don't promote Illarion in any way right now. We'll start doing so once the game is in a playable state. We'll talk about this topic again then. :wink: So are you saying that this game has been in an unplayable sta...

Why did you start playing, what were you looking for? I had spent enough time slogging through various text-based RP chat channels and was looking for a graphical outlet to match my creative interests. I had stories to express and I wanted to hear/co-create stories from/with others. In addition to ...

Re: Being Pk'ed by a GM with no RP ??

I'm honestly not quite sure I understand the negative sentiment toward idling while in-game. Populating the online list really only aids in potentially encouraging more of our players to log in. It certainly shouldn't be used as an excuse to troll the player-base.

Ahh, nostalgia threads.

This was all the while people were roleplaying, though often the graphical act...

My opinion has always been this. Eliminate mages as a class people can choose to create. Keep them in their current form (which allows them to nerf anything in under 5 seconds) and let it be up to the staff to allow certain people to play them. This way, we get a select group of mages who should be...
