Wow. Lot's of old people here... I've been wanting to play again, but there's always something which stops me. And I finally figured out what it is. The game is too "big". Before you could log in, there's a single town (mostly), and a bunch of players I know. There are very obvious 'hot sp...

I am, as always referring to mages and archers - where you don't have the magical ability to 'run around them' and if you have a bunch of them somewhere, by the time you run past them your health would have gotten a bit sickly.

No I mean physical bottlenecks. Like bridges. Or doors. Or cave entrances, or other places where mouse control isn't very good.

And how do you deal with bottlenecks?

I like the dangerous treks between the towns, each time is an adventure. While I do agree that the 'adventure' is pretty interesting - not knowing what monsters you're goign to come across today... ...maybe not everyone wants the adventure. Maybe the reason player X became a crafter is because he d...

I've run all over the map and a monster has never even got close enough to hit me, let alone kill me. You ever tried running between Bragon and Zelphia's shrines? Requires running through trolls, dianosaurs, two bridges, a bunch of skeleton archers and a mage or two. Yeah you can run from most thin...

If you're going with an escort - given the large amount of stuff which is everywhere, you're going to move very slowly indeed. And since some areas are full of archers, mages or both - you'll probably end up without an escort before long. I do agree the roads to certain places are too dangerous. Cad...

So after "Guy who owns a swathe of land" we become "Guy who runs a manor". Broken Feudal system is you ask me.

The following note has a document attached to it Brothers and Sisters, We have located a land temple to Mother Zelphia, on the road from Cadomyr to the Inn. However it is overrun with undead most foul, such that it is impossible for pilgrims to visit. The attached document will be presented to the ...

I'd argue the best way to play a bad guy is to not to. Because there should be no such thing as a bad guy. Is a guy who kills 10 Runewickians evil? Or is he a Galmair war hero? Is the guy who sells overpriced rare products which are desperatly needed in a town evil? or a good buisinessman? Is the gu...

While at the crafting table Someone says: trade Marcel Metalfeet [NPC] says: I do not sell anything. But I can repair all kind of things for you. Someone whispers: trade Someone says: trade Me says: what ye want? Someone says: trade Me says: the merchants are outside.. Me sighs Someone says: very we...

Thank you for your time Esty. I'm very curious to see what's in store

Bunch of questions regarding the faction policies and plans. 1. Are we allowed/expected to petition faction leaders for things? (Ex: "Could we have a bigger workshop/cheaper prices/building of a hairdresser") 2. Are interfaction relationships completely in the hands of the GMs, or are they...

You haven't seen GM Flux then...

Yeah tools break very quickly considering how much you pay for them. My crucible-pincers lasted 100 ores if I remember correctly. That said the crafting system makes tools very easy and cheap to make for a reason. So when players supply the tools (and even a 0 skilled carpenter can make his own tool...

Already was reported

Yes I could.

But I thought I'd ask permission before I scrape a website. Maybe websites don't like you doing it.

But its not a bug, its a feature. It has its own message and sound effect.

I'll put it under feature requests.

Forcing people to work together isn't the way forward though. People should work together because they want to. Miners shouldn't need to be fighters too. If I don't feel like killing al 21 creatures on the path to the mine I should be able to run (which I can ^^), if I want to go there with a fighte...

I've built a simple tool for notifying me when certain players log in. It is a very quickly written program, so don't expect it to do magic or something. It runs using .NET so you'd need to be using windows. I'm releasing it under GPL version 3(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), and is not an of...

Was mining yesterday. It spawned a golem. It killed a poor guy who was in the mine and since the mine is accessable only through a stairs, lots of people are going to have a nasty surprise.

Please remove this. Golems are DANGEROUS creatures.

Tried some of the quests today. Quite fun, mixture of stuff for everyone I guess.

Are we going to get some sort of quest tracker interface at some point in the future?

Oh I love the setting.

I was a bit unsure about splitting the playerbase, but now there's a real "us or them" and "Good for the town" feel. Plus you can be sure that if you play a greedy little character you'll be in good company in certain places.

I'm with Ezor on this one. Maybe you met a character who you'd think would be useful to remember him later, but don't have his name. You think you'll remember "Guy threatening me"'s appearance in a week?

Other issue I have is the lack of 'free food' which seems to be around in some areas - as discussed here:

http://illarion.org/mantis/view.php?id=7780

My biggest gripe is the monster spawns being REALLY close to the town. This is especially a problem for crafters. To get from Galmair to a particular mine I passed around (21 - recounted, including a dwarf and a skeleton) different creatures. All of them weak, but still. For a journey I'll need to d...

Sure its a bit rough around the edges, but there seems to have gone an extreme amount of work into it, and there's a lot to explore, lots to see and lots to do.

So. Thanks.
