Well, of course I'd have tech problems right off the bat. I get an error right after the map at startup that says "Character Not Found". I did type the character's name correctly, even copying and pasting it from my Characters list during one attempt. The character is "playable",...

Definitely not, I'm afraid.

No. I think my account from before was deleted, I couldn't find it.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. It's cool to see that some of the people I remember are still here, and I look forward to meeting the rest of you IG. So as it goes, I'm going to give it another shot, for old times sakes. I'm glad to hear that it's a casual game now (in the sense that you don't n...

Hello, A few of you might recognize my screen name, but most of you probably won't, judging by the completely alien online players list. I haven't really thought about Illarion at all since I left/quit/however you'd describe a situation that wasn't entirely pretty but was the appropriate course of e...

Quote: 2. later he fooled around and played the clown when he got questioned by a gm. a very stupid behaviour. Oh, I didn't know you could recieve a permanent ban for joking, my mistake. Oh I could have told you that one. Incidentally, from what I've been told of the whole thing... Sam is right. Ne...

I just want to point out one little teensy thing that no one seems to have caught on to yet: Keikan blatantly admitted my ban was because of a personal grudge: basically, that I didn't kiss his ass. I'm a woman who works full time, goes to school full time, and have had to be damn independent for my...

Please do not post any personal attacks in my thread. It wasn't what it was intended for. I feel great that some people have expressed appreciation for the things I have done, and that makes me feel like my time here wasn't completely wasted. While I do feel that almost every staff member has some g...

And at the same time we need to remember that when you were leader of it, it was not a grand thing, there was way to many people wandering around with pushed characters with no determinable quest being thrusted forward with them. Disregarding any comment to the rest of the post, maybe you should le...

We'll see what the consequences are ...

*trembles*

Someone protect me from the internet-hate!

It's supposed to, it's Devrah.

I get a perverse pleasure whenever someone refers to important staff members as "Dev"

*nods* Thanks, Cliu.

Just for the record, are avatars with no visible copyright okay?

Since I don't think anyone wants Alatar to disable avatars, and I noticed some people suggesting solutions such as offering to draw avatars or using images whose copyrights have expired, I'm starting this thread so anyone with an alternative to using copywritten avatars. I can create avatars from sc...

I still don't think it makes sense. Two points to consider: 1) The admins of Illarion can't be expected to be responsible for every poster's actions. 2) A large portion of players are underage and can't be held accountable anyway. Aside from the fact that it still sounds pretty preposterous to be su...

I still don't understand, maybe because I can't understand the German very well. Why on Earth would you get in trouble for using found pictures on the web? Aren't copyright laws only applicable for commercial use? (i.e. for a company using the images to make money?)

I don't know if German policies differ, but in America, I have experienced legal disrupt due to a similar copyright situation; a friend of mine listed their website as Dell Reseller (which they were) and used the Dell logo. Dell, as you know, is a huge, multi-million dollar corporation with some of ...

For the record, I completely agree with Erik's point about the former GM team. It was fantastic. Japheth and Aegohl especially made Illarion what I loved when I joined

On a more personalized note, Erik, I will sorely miss your fantastic RP but I can completely understand your reasons. *hugs*

Remember when Capus read Rhiannon's diary?

Day by day, Devrah watched Irania carefully. The other woman had a way about her which Devrah had never had - she could put the men at ease. She was complacent and polite; servile but not quite docile. Her manner was perfect for Devrah's intentions... if only Devrah herself could successfully copy i...

I don't think anyone's talking about bombs like we have in modern-day. I think we're talking about chemicals-in-a-bottle kind of like the molotov cocktail we already have. My impression on reading the descriptions of the "bombs" were that they were meant to counter-balance mages. I think p...

I was responding to the most recent one

I agree with Thurbert but I'd like to take it a step further: FOR ****'s SAKE SHUT UP! Is something on the website going to completely ruin your roleplay experience, and cripple you physically, or whatever else you people act like it's going to do? Better stay away from Off-Topic then, you might dis...

Devrah's eyes glitter coldly as she gathers bits of bark from around the tree. She picks up a few strands of grasses and some rocks, too. She obviously doesn't care about the quality of the firewood. Her dark-emerald eyes shoot to Irania for the briefest of seconds, and then back the the crude-looki...

The word Ziel can be assumed to be derived from "Zeal" which means someone who is nervous. Zeal –noun fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor; enthusiastic diligence; ardor. Zealous -zeal‧ous  /ˈzɛləs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[zel-uhs] Pronunc...

Irania was sultry! And vixeny!

As far as I've been led to understand, names should match the backgrounds/examples given on Moonsilver for the non-human races, and human names are supposed to fit into the cultures described or be acceptable as medieval names in our own world history. I could be wrong, I'm just saying that's how I ...
