Bandorakai is sort of new too, from what I gather. Though, this seems like a GM-matter definitely. The problem with jailing such chars is that the GM's do not generally like us jailing chars indefinitely (which I sort of understand). EDIT: That cannot be done ever ever ever . He did NOT have the rig...

Those that are eventual masters have been in game a long time also. A nice freedom of the game is to be able to choose without restriction and change when they want rather then making a new character. I'm not arguing against the freedom of choosing skill. Read what I said. However, what I am saying...

No, Mr. Cromwell, I don't think that Illarion should benefit people for their choice of playing their roles. I like playing a "real man" who lives with his wife in his hometown, works all day and goes hunting - as his forefathers did before. This gives me the possibility to be not bored by playing ...

Re: Call for opinions: Lead attributes

Aha. Someone has a lot in dex I see. :P No, my motivations with removing dex are simple: Complaints regarding warriors who make their own stuff. As it currently stands, dexterity does (AFAIK) affect fighting quite a bit, the scale depending on the weapons at use. This means, that a fighter has every...

There is a simple reason for the lack of supply: lack of demand! When no one buys smithed items, no one will produce them! I say: give it a try! Remove itemdrops! Change it into coins or, as Hadrian suggested: make a new item, only usable to be sold to NPCs. Try it for some weeks. Testing that for ...

Or alternatively: More high end materials (Pure elements/Merinium ignots) and coins, and fewer item drops (Craftsmen buy these materials from the fighters for coins/stuff!). However: Since getting coins and relying solely on the craftsmen is not an idea which is wholly without downsides (namely supp...

One thing that might create the impression of stagnation to especially someone who is not playing the game, is the fact that the guild-scene is practically dead. The active 'guilds' are few and far between, and even the towns suffer from (varying degrees) of inactivity. The reason why there are not ...

If you only weren't such a drooling idiot, you'd realize that the tavern was previously owned by Silverbrand.

I'll just say this: One day we had werewolves and whatnot in the game, the second day staff said "No." From that point on, we did not have a half-halfling-half demons and werewolves and whatever ingame anymore. The precedent is there. You cannot so easily cut a wedge between the two (IG/OOC), when t...

The problem was what I see as inconsisency of argument. What you say actually applies to directly every organization in this game.

That's the symptom, not the problem. The problem is actually low number of players.
