Re: Vomitting! :D

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...

Re: Wearing items with no proper skill

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...

Re: Wearing items with no proper skill

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? :)

Re: Please remove the new player help box.

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...

Re: The Iron Watch of Galmair

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.

Re: Really struggling to raise armor skill...

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 :)

Re: Really struggling to raise armor skill...

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?...

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...

Re: The Hemp Necktie Inn roleplay

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...

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.

Re: Tactics and Dodge

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.
