As far as I can tell, the only 'problem' with the VMA is that the magic system has been set up with an intentional technical flaw... that you can't really teach the runes outside of your magic room without consequences that are prohibitively high. You have a 'neutral' MA now (though I really, really...

I'll bring up two points here, then butt back out. 1. What they are complaining about, with going to the academy, is that once you go with the portal, you have to walk for like 15 minutes to go all the way down the island and then back up, making you go some 150 or so tiles to cross a space of about...

Personally, I think either A) all races but human should be 'special' races, and applied for, or B) there shouldn't be any special races.

*shrugs*

What about a logged-in-time counter that would give you a *boost* on your learning curve? <techno-mumbo-jumbo>If they're logged in for X amount of time, boost their minor skill points by X%. Say, 1% for every 10 minutes that they are only and use no skill (besides languages). This would reset when t...

When it is unnecessarily flaming another player directly, yes. The point was made, that's enough.

I'd add just a bit to that last part of Thorvald's statement. It's our job to make quests a reality in game. It isn't necessarily our responsibility to think them up. There are at least a hundred good, imaginitive players in this game capable of thinking up grand storylines for epic quests. There is...

The Lich's sword quest, for one. That's the big one right now. And again, there's already a plan in place, once the to-be-involved GMs are all free to devote their time to it (and so other active quests aren't swallowed by it.) No, I won't give you details, but if everything plays out as it should, ...

I know it may not seem like it, but these 'little' quests take up just as much GM time and attention as big ones. However, I will say this... your observations are not 'original'... that is, we've already thought the same thing. And plans are in the works, as soon as the current active quests are co...

Oh Grand High Mistress newbie might be acceptable... hmmm...

Everyone welcome the new sacri.. I mean... the new GM!




Welcome, Naerwyn!

Not too bad an idea, but I think it perfectly sufficient to have 'armorsmiths' and 'weaponsmiths'. With maybe a third just 'blacksmith' for the things that don't fall into either of those.. tools and such; though I think that would fit fine with the weaponsmith. Smiths make much more on armor than t...

Say hello to your newest Quest-GM, Naerwyn! AKA, Tina

Very, very few quest characters are 'ultra-pushed' anymore. They are given high but not unbeatable defense, and slightly lower offense generally. Yes, chances are one character won't be able to take a questchar down, no matter how good the character... but three or five decent character could, if th...

Ever tried dumping a bucket of water on a campfire?

SssSSSssSSSsssssss!

As long as I can remember since installing the new client, when fighting with two weapons, the first attack I'll get a double graphic/sound, and from then on only one of each. But trust me, I have tested it and you are getting both attacks.

And just to add, this thread's subject/title was a very mean trick to pull on the poor fuzzy-headed just-waking-up-GM who was terrified the whole database might be caput...

From what I've seen, yes there is a chance to fail... however, you only lose the material for that stage. So, taking your nightplate for an example, you'd lose the dye, but not the other 95%.

There are drawbacks to every potential change to the client. however, I really do think this one has more positive than negative effects. And frankly, this is just about the only such game I've played (and I've played a lot) that didn't have some kind of follow command. Some have a 'time limit' of s...

The one thing that I have really wanted ever since joining this game was a 'follow' command. So that you can right-click on another player (or even NPCs, but I don't care about that really) and choose 'follow' and then you (surprise surprise) follow them wherever they go. This would be soooo useful ...

So what if its filled with spam and nonsense? No one is going to make you read it... just ignore it if you don't want to read spam and nonsense. The only thing that really needs to be removed there is highly offensive, derogatory, or insulting remarks. The Off Topic, IMHO, is there specifically to ...

Just to be perfectly clear: you will[\i] be able to talk/emote, just not actually move, during the crafting process, correct? Because with the current flailing method, if you say anything, you 'interrupt your work'.

I believe the 'four schools of magic' were mages, druids, priests and bards in this case Alex.

Lets say it was kind of quest and not everybody like tge quest or what happend during that quest. Not evrybody can like evrything. And what about the GMs and Quester? Do you think they like to see that after neraly every quest this happend? That must be really motivating for them..... And its over ...

My opinion, for what it's worth: Getting resurrected at the cross is basically Churga saying 'Im not ready to take this soul, get back up there'. It puts your soul back in your body. It does not heal your wounds. At all. Or if at all, *just* enough so that your body can still hold your soul... just ...

As Athian posted, there is already slavery in game, it is just handled very quietly, because of the general reaction to it (though for the most part up until now, the 'claiming' has been completely voluntary on the part of the slaves). I know of at least six characters who are slaves to another char...

Alright, I want to make this * very * clear. This is a *tutorial* island. This is to teach them how to use the mechanics of the game, so we don't have them running around saying 'How do I make my words yellow like that???!!!111!!!' Now please, enough with the suggestions on this thread! If you can't...

The tutorial island will be a strictly non-PvP zone.

HOWEVER, this is exactly the kind of thing that will be discussed at the round-table. This is what I am holding it for.

Please, let's all hold off on the endless stream of questions and suggestions until then?

What I'm looking at right now, is that you have to go to various NPC's around the island to learn how to do various things. In order to learn how to fight, you have to be given a weapon (choose one weapon class, get a starter weapon of that class, go kill something and come back, you get to keep the...

All characters will start on the tutorial island. However, there will be a keyword built in so that you can leave at any time. A character there for the first time won't know the keyword and (hopefully) will have to go through at least most of the tutorial before being able to leave. An existing pla...
