Re: Proposal for the new update

Some of the changes seem counter-intuitive to me as well. I understand this is an intermediate step, and further changes are to come, but I can only comment on what I am aware of. I think there are more than a few players who enjoy the small thrill of finding a treasure map, pure element, magical ge...

Re: Perspective on magical gems

I don't have any strong feelings about adjusting the output of gems, as suggested in your first post, but I am not a fan of removing the tax system, as proposed in your second. I agree that the entrenched power of old characters is a strong disincentive to creating new ones. I agree that gems are so...

Re: I am very afraid of loosing my gems now. (I might not even use them any more.)

I do not call for a gentler system - I made a proposal for more storage in the belt !! thats quite different don't you think ?
No, I do not think it is different. Increasing the number of 'safe' items reduces the consequences of a character dying.

Re: I am very afraid of loosing my gems now. (I might not even use them any more.)

I imagine this is an unpopular opinion, but the current system is already overly generous. I don't advocate a change, because I can appreciate most of the current players would be unhappy, but I don't think a gentler system is called for. If a player wants to completely mitigate the risk of loss, th...

Re: lets talk about FOIG

I think a player run wiki would be a great idea. I would certainly contribute. There are many games that have quite helpful fan wiki’s, and I think this would make the game more accessible to new and old players.

I would rather the developers focus on developing new game content.

Re: Magic in Illarion

From a practical standpoint, the ruling that Achae linked seems pretty clear. It makes sense that GMs are responsible for determining what is possible, and what is not to maintain a coherent world.

Re: Bad guy dos and donts

I think the most important question you need to ask when designing an 'evil' character is, "Why will people want to interact with me?"

If you can't come up with a convincing answer to that question, the character is unlikely to be thought of as a good villain.

Item Quality

Does perception affect perceived item quality in any way? Is my character seeing the true quality/wear of an item when I view it, or a rough approximation of what it really is? Will different characters see an item as having different levels of quality/wear?
