I think my concerns about lizard armor on humans is best summed up with an image...


It just...well...awkward much? lol

Economies in online games are always a nightmare, I have never seen one that really works and certainly never managed to implement one. On the subject of cooking, increasing the length of bonuses would almost certainly make it slightly more desirable. For the economy over all I think we need a few m...

Medium armor poses the problem of having lizard armor at 60.... It looks beyond ridiculous on a human male, to the point where I think anyone would stop you and go what are you wearing!!!??? Would it not be possible or even practical to compensate for our lack of graphics by reusing the same graphic...

Does it effect skill gain at all, does an armor beyond my level slow the rate at which one would gain skill?
Perhaps even more importantly if you have a skill of 60 but your wearing a level 40 armor, skill gain will still be normal? I never wish to see my character in lizard armor again?

One thing that seems a little odd about the system is that it teleports me into the tutorial, I wonder if new players should be doing the tutorial before being distracted with potential RP? If it was triggered when a player "picked" a town and a message appeared a new face has come to Galm...

Commander, I have also concocted a plan which I feel may ease our victory against these pirates. Whether we use it or not, it is true we as a town must come together to meet and defeat this threat, it is embarrassing that we are put to shame by a bunch of drunkards in funny hats. I'll seek you out. ...

*A neatly penned note is hung from the town board* With the elections looming large and a few great candidates already having stepped forward, I thought I might take the liberty of posting a few questions. I could of course track each candidate down individually, however this would only serve to enl...

Sorry idle was a really bad choice of words, if you stand around typing as such rping, that should lower the MC-points.
Thanks for the information.

Messing around a little I was able to gain a little, which is all I needed to see. This can be locked, moved, deleted, all is well in the world

Thanks for you input....:) I do not think MC-points are the issue, I idle/rp a lot but its true I may have had days where I used my MC points by mining or smelting. In theory a slime should still potentially cause skill gain then as I only have 25 medium armor, so if they have uh unarmed of even 10,...

I know this is a "tricky" topic as there are so many variables, but since I have returned I have managed to gain one point in medium armor, thats from 24 - 25. That last gain was also pretty random and over a week ago. I would imagine that at low levels it should be relatively easy to get?...

The decemberists - the drowned (from the album hazards of love) beautiful song which really should be listened too in its proper sequence right at the end of an amazing album that tells a fable. As a stand alone its still a pretty moving song though

To long to list everyone but a few have left a lasting impression of late. Ufedhin: You have some awesome moments, you bring a depth into things that I adore. Signs before Mas, the creeping dread of growing undead. Always a pleasure to encounter you. Irania: Lots of fun to see how your character has...

Just a few tips from my years of rping here and there, its not really aimed at this community or anyone in it. I do not think I have been around long enough for any real issues to raise their head, or I am just lucky and keep running into great players. Some of these are so simple or generic that mo...

Also never confuse making something really hard with making it exclusive or encouraging great RP. That usually just means the player with the most time or most desire to PG, they may or may not be the most talented role player. Difficulty is no assurance of quality or exclusivity in an RP community,...

Quick shout out to just about everyone I have met, thanks for being so helpful and open to RP. Some great chars in game and its been fun lately. Too many names to list but if you been around me you have been making it interesting.

I personally would have offered them 50%, as Grim players would have been a great match for Illarion, similar role play ethos and similar world styling. It was an opportunity to encourage a strong role playing community to perhaps bring some of their talent to Illa, instead of just moving onto diffe...

I think I failed to communicate myself entirely properly. Clearly we want to escape "you can only learn from a teacher route" so we are left with teaching or expensive/quests as a way to get runes. The teaching system I mentioned was more about skills, even if runes became 100 quest/cost b...

Should this be updated? As Dodge and Tactics do not seem currently active or are they now behind the scenes or something?

Totally :) I completely agree with what your ideas, it was also why I did not go into detail of spell ideas. I am aware I am basically an Illa newb these days. I just know from other games I have been involved in what we would do well to avoid. It is of course easier to say than do, which is why so ...

I love the idea of the poll and I did not want to derail that topic by begging a discussion in it. However Illarion has a unique opportunity to create a great, balanced magic system and no players really need suffer as now if a mage hates magic they could stat change out to being a crafter or warrio...

A neutral space in a game is always a great idea. If we imagine that borgate had a group of bouncers or a hired assassin or what ever the reason, it basically means that drawing blood in his tavern ends badly for you. The outcome of a neutral space is that it can bring enemies together to RP in a di...

Ah apologies then, I do not check the forums regularly enough it seems.
Thanks for the reply, at least now I know

So one of the main points that is bugging me about the game is that after a time which could be 10 minutes up until 30 minutes the client will start progressively slowing down until even typing lags. Mid 2012 imac 4 gig ram etc So I doubt its the power of the machine that is to blame. I also appreci...

I do not often claim to know much about this game anymore, I am old relic that just pops in for some RP now and then. I do however clearly recall that the way the previous magic system was introduced is what finally motivated my quitting entirely. So a few lessons I hope the game will take from prev...

The biggest problem with this topic is one word, the word being evil. Outside of psychopaths and demon possessed end game bosses, neither of which make very good character concepts. Most people do not believe themselves evil, they have a hosts of beliefs but they ultimately believe they are justifie...

I'll be the first to admit that I know very little about Illarion these days, I have however had multiple experiences with similar games both as a player, designer and GM over the years. So a lot of this post is more generalized and not aimed specifically at Illarion. It us unlikely though that this...

Thats the current system I am talking about its new to me though, I was last active around 2005-2006 properly so a lot is new to me I like it

Thanks for your time responding Athian.

Without trying to turn this into a discussion forum, I'll just add that as a returning player the new system sounds great and seems to allow for a lot more build variety. I am actually rather impressed by it.
Thanks again

Tactics is influenced by int, I like it.

Does that mean that a low int character will cap at a lower level, or that a low intelligence character simply cannot use tactics as much?

Thanks for the information it all makes a lot more sense now.
