Re: Death

There seems to be an uptick in discussion over the death system lately which is making me curious so I'm going to toss a couple questions out there... Do you guys think the shrinking player base is the result of a no-consequence death system? Is this where Illarion's limited development time would b...

Blame Fooser for making me look at the forums again ...

Re: Some devoted spice

As I see it, the game currently demands players all play 'good guys' or face harsh sanctions from game mechanics controlled by other players. This has led to a stagnant and uninteresting game world because in a system where one side holds all the power, there is no reason for them to compromise or c...

I see post-VBU Illarion as cat herding. Telling players that the outcomes for their character's skills are totally preset and predetermined and that their own input makes no difference whatsoever is not exactly motivational for game playing. Setting the focus for New Illarion to be on ranks and leve...

Re: New types of punishments

Pre-VBU, when the development team was fielding ideas for New Illarion, I proposed a PvP-free zone. The response was an immediate and definite 'no' supported by the concept that Illarion is a PvP game. Period. The concept of a safe-zone has been proposed several times since then and has always been ...

The elfess seemed not quite at ease.

The elfess was placid enough, ma...

Re: Alchemy

This points to a pretty clear confusion in our wording. In the interest of removing as much frustration as we can, is it possible to change the word 'kettle' to 'cauldron' in the instructions? Or conversely to rename the 'cauldrons' as 'kettles'?
