I won't name a specific player, but I will name a type... I like the people who interact with the world they're in as realistically as possible. If two people start throwing down or firing spells at each other five feet from where you're sitting, you don't just stay on your butt and carry on your wh...

Why can't they be played more like Klingons? Bloodthirsty, yes... but not without reason or logic.

I shall stand in defense of the town, as per my oath.

I understand the spirit of wanting to make it easier for newcomers to get started in Illarion, but I don't think it's worth sacrificing the integrity and quality of the game. I think we can all give witness to one or more incidents where newcomers who'd have never been accepted under the old rules h...

I say the first thing you teach them is what they look like as a ghost... THEN move on to the finer points.

The message was posted as a warning from the Town Guard as a whole, and not from one person. Maybe if you were more diligent in your duties, Liles, you'd have been in on it.

[ The following message has been posted throughout the town of Trolls Bane. ] Citizens and visitors of Trolls Bane, There have been five reported cases of poisoning today. They have come from various sources; the pigs, fish, and even picked apples. Be sure you have antidotes on hand, or are in the c...

today when the ban was place on Samantha Meryadeles was great. Well I had a fun time I dont know if anyone else really like me and the other orc yelling smash. But I thought it was great RP for the orc to do stuff like that. If you read the character description of orcs, they're not supposed to be ...

Thanks everyone! This just changed my depot's life!

I've noticed that there are little abbreviations next to my leather bags such as "(pv)" and "(ds)". What do these mean, if anything?

Dwarves inside the walls of Trolls Bane may be difficult. That situation only gets worse as they continue to refuse their aid to the town.

For the record, I'm going to try and attend the gathering. Perhaps I'll even enter myself in the pig wrestling.

When you're trying to learn a skill like smithing or carpentry, does the difficulty of the item you try to create have an impact on the skill-gain? For example, does there come a time where making staff handles will no longer get you skill-gain in carpentry, and you have to move on to something bett...

Is it just me, or are mummies hitting a lot faster than they used to? It seems like the shots are a lot more rapid. I also noticed, during an attack on town, that a skeleton was able to kill me in just TWO hits! Now, I've fought skeletons before, and they've NEVER done anything remotely close to tha...

I haven't leveled once in Smithing despite countless ores smelted and helmets made.

As someone whose character was "taken" early on, I had no problem with it. I thought it worked great IG, because Jalen left the safety of the group to go and scout the area for any wanderers. As it turned out, he became the wanderer and got ambushed. He actually turned a corner and ran rig...

Hey, I'm well aware of my failings! But it used to take a lot more than just five mummies to make me lose concentration. I hadn't done any sort of skill-gaining exercises beforehand, either. It just seemed like it came much faster than usual.

I just went to the crypt for some training, and I lost the ability to concentrate after just five mummies. That's much faster than it's ever been. Is that by design?

Careful how you flick that tongue of yours, lizard. The guards won't step in to stop fights you bring upon yourself.

Where are they in relation to often-visited areas such as the crypt and/or coal mine? People need to know so as not to stumble upon the camp.

Are other creatures like deer and rabbits considered to be "more difficult" opponents than pigs? I know they don't fight back anymore than pigs do, but I mean in terms of gaining skill by fighting them. To explain... once you get to the point where pigs are no longer giving you skill-gain,...

*** The following is tacked to the shop wall in Trolls Bane. ***

ATTENTION LOCAL MERCHANTS!!

I am in desperate need of leather bags. If you have them to sell, please respond so that we can arrange a time for a transaction.

I plan to be in attendance.

Express your opinion all you want, buddy. But take the condescending tone out of it. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Nalzaxx. That was exactly what I was looking for! And Juniper... this game may be primarily about roleplaying, but the skill-gain is still a very important part. If you're going to put a system of skills and attibutes in place, there's nothing wrong with someone wanting to understand e...

Yeah, but what impact do things like Perception and Essence have as opposed to Intelligence and Willpower? I understand what's important and what isn't, but I want to be able to make an educated decision if I decide to go higher in one and lower in another. I know this sounds really picky and obsess...

Yes, I saw this already. I understand the general theme of what a particular class should look like, but I want to have a specific understanding of what each attribute does so that I don't waste skill points.

I've been looking all over for SPECIFIC details as to what each attribute does, but all I can find are fairly vague descriptions. Is there a resource that tells you exactly what each attribute does and what aspects of the game it impacts? I'm creating a magic-oriented character, and I want to make s...

An exemption from town laws has the potential to turn the tavern into a haven for criminals. If the guards chased someone into your "embassy," how would you respond? Would you allow us to carry out our duties, or would you impede us for the sake of your immunity and expect us to let you ha...

Speaking from my own noobishness, I feel like there's a slight thread of hypocracy in place. Far too often, people stand in a pedestal and pronounce, "Roleplay! That's what this game is for!" Granted, you don't want for new players to wander down the ugly road of powergaming, so it's good ...

Sorry to sound noobish, but how do you mine sand?
