Nice trailer. I liked the part where the group marches across the desert. It makes it look like they're going on an exciting adventure. The talk about "land of milk and honey" seems weird though. This is most commonly known as a biblical reference to Israel (at least in English). Also I wo...

1. Nope/Nope, but once in a while I think of character concept ideas that would be fun to play in Illarion. 2. I don't think so. I just don't see myself investing so much time anymore. 3. Show more interest in Legends Of Illarion 1 and 2. It's the greatest Illa-related thing ever made besides Illari...

I like it. It's much more simple and user friendly, and it's less frustration for new players.

I just realized that I couldn't find any info on the website about who the original creators of Illarion are, even though the 15 anniversary news mentions the "three students". Is this just a small oversight or is there a reason they're not mentioned anymore? Also, can someone remind me wh...

Nice! *Thumbs Up*

Looks great. Excellent job!

And in terms of lore.. even as a GM I feel like I can't touch that. Like.. the gods and stuff? That is Damien's creation. I feel like it would be sacrilege for me to have only appeared here in 2005 but to sit around and make up lore like I'm dictating ex cathedra. This is only a self-guilt problem ...

NOOO!!! NOT FLUFFY!!! Not like this...

I always thought that this song described the feeling of everything in Illarion so well on so many different levels and different time periods, especially now on the verge of Illarion's biggest change ever.

Just a quick survey. What do you feel exactly is the greatest percieved obstacle for playing your mage characters while lacking actual spells? Is the the PvP aspect? The dungeon crawling aspect? The graphical effects? Or some other practical aspect? I'm assuming it's mostly the PvP aspect, but I'm a...

This would only be fitting for "Magic Emperor" Dyluck.

Sigh, I miss playing Dyluck. So many unused ideas and unfinished stories gone to waste.

I'll add to the pile first by mentioning that I also could not for the life of me figure out how to get off the newbie island when I tried a few months ago. But I notice now there's an option at character creation to spawn in a town, so I'm glad. EDIT: By the way, I am not asking you to do it all fo...

Historically, I'd say most people assumed it to be outside Eliza's shop, since it was both the most popular common area and the longest stretch of wall available. This kind of place also made the most sense for threads that turn into "conversations" or "arguments" between people....

By which source? According to every possible etymologist whose even spoken on the subject, O.K, Okay, and Ok are accepted variations and there is not one considered more formal. If you allow Okay, you have to allow every other spelling of the word, period, otherwise its not fair in a lingual sense....

It doesn't matter if OK came before Okay. In a practical use of modern english, Okay is now considered a more formal word than OK which will always just be two letters acting as an abbreviation, even if someday society decides it will stand for the word Okalydokaly.

In terms of just language convention, OK is to Okay or Oll Korrect or whatever, just like WTH is to What the hell. I rate it lower because it's just an abbreviation you can type but your character should be saying actual words.

My Man > Hello > Hi > Okay > OK > Cool > Sup Anything below Okay is definitely not right. Okay and higher is still acceptable in a fantasy setting, since I think they're not so modern to the point that they didn't exist until the last 100 years or something. Nothing wrong with "My Man" if ...

This sounds like a really nice idea to promote co-operation, especially the part where the "victim" is also invited for feedback afterwards.

Huh... that's a noodle scratcher... my memory must be getting hazy... Why did you start playing, what were you looking for? About 10 years ago I was just looking for any old Hack&Slash and I didn't think Illarion was any different. I was mainly sold on an old description saying how "There a...

I'm here, but I don't play anymore. I just help out a little with stuff.

@Dyluck Everything you've said about racism can be applied to rape, and that is why I'm asking for a stronger argument. You say that rape is considered more offensive, but it appears nearly as often in literature as themes of extreme violence. The truth of the matter is that everyone has a differen...

Racism and laws against racism in real life are meant to protect HUMANS from discriminating against and infringing on EACH OTHER's basic rights based on skin color/culture/etc. Confict between SPECIES in a fantasy game between Orcs and Elves, or a Human killing a Sheep, is not "racism" nor...

Yep I understand, I just thought that the NPC tester character resets because he's special. Guess not
But it's good, because it means I can just test related NPCs one after another.

Oh really, it does not reset even for these test characters? Huh strange, I didn't seem to notice that when I tested it a few days ago. But anyways, yeah I'll just manually make it 0 first then.

Actually everything seemed to work fine when I used a new questID 1234, but if I change the code back to questID 1111 it didn't work, and when I change it back to questID 1234 a second time, it doesn't work anymore. The debug message seems to tell me that questID 1234 is at value = 1 at the first th...

No, the questID is from my own code, but it kept getting increased on its own (as shown in the debug message) even when the specific trigger word wasn't used yet. But I will try again and see if it's back to normal now.

Is there some maintenance on the testserver right now or something? It's really laggy and there was some buggy behavior where the NPC was speaking out loud his variables code, something like Test NPC : COMP:questID:1111 Test NPC : COMP:value : 1 Test NPC : COMP:p:qID:1 and the trigger text wasn't ev...

LOL Estralis you read my mind and posted the at the exact same minute as me, but your GM status must give your post superpower priority over mine

Then my problem now is just why the code doesn't work.
Perhaps queststatus only takes + and - but not = operator when setting the value?

Btw, when you say restarting/reloading the server, does that mean a periodic thing like daily, weekly, or etc? Or a rare thing like only for updates/crashes? Let's say I want the conversation progress with an NPC to be saved as part of a longer term quest. Since NPC state will get reset sometimes, t...
