I dislike the bonus idea for the exact reason Felbion mentioned. The gap between new characters and highly-skilled ones is already far too great, such a bonus would only widen it. I also don't think that it would have the desired effects. Death would still be nothing more than an annoyance, only a s...

I'll mention again, just to make it clear, that I am not going to try and argue for a universal, one-life, permadeath system. I don't think it would be possible to implement such a system in an already running game, for many of the reasons already mentioned in this thread. People grow attached to th...

I was going to post this in Arvernor's thread, but didn't want to derail the discussion there. Though Nitram's suggestion in that thread was clearly tongue in cheek, I actually do think that a permadeath system would do wonders for this game. A simple clarification of the rules surrounding death is ...

Yes.

I call troll.

I truly hope that a PO with the sensibilities of Quinasa plays the next character to be Elder.

But I really see no argument here. The POs are quitting because roleplay happened. Roleplay that prevented them enjoying quiet-love-peace-flower time with their friends. Oh well.

A rather portly halfling approaches the board, reads over it, and begins to laugh uncontrollably. Wiping a tear from his eye, he scribbles a quick note upon a piece of parchment, and pins it beneath the most recent posting. Regarding the charges laid against the human, Magnus Magnol, by the elfess,...

The loud snap of a branch broken underfoot shatters the silence. Forest - Any season - Any time Above, a black raven soars through the skies. A troubling sign, indeed. Any location - Any season - Any time A light rustle reaches your ears, its origin sounds only a short distance away. Could somethin...

Completely agree with Kranek.

smile "FOIG", or at least be intelligent about using it.

As long as that attitude in the community does not change, illarion will always run low on quests and questers. So then let's change the attitude. The reason people complain so much is because their whining works. Their ridiculous complaints are actually listened to by the higher-ups, and acted upo...

"...real role playing in Illarion." They just say that as a joke. I think Flux identified the real problem. The reason these quests become so lame is because no one is ever affected by the 'evil'. For some messed up reason, the GMs can't do anything to anyone without causing an 'OMGFORCED...

A piece of parchment is posted upon the academy wall. The handwriting is quite shaky, and several words across the page have been crossed out. Name: - Raagnash Race: - Orc of the Shadow-Flight Gender: - Male Age: - Raagnash sees sixty and three winters Mage/Battlemage: - Mage Subjects to be followe...

About February 2000, I believe.

The same thing happened to me last night, about 8 hours ago. Only difference was that I got attacked outside the library. I thought it was just a bored gm being a bastard, though. The pig-golem hadn't been there when I walked past about 5 minutes earlier, and wasn't there when I walked past about 5 ...

Edric strides through the streets of Troll's Bane, his limp barely noticeable. With every other step, the butt of his staff gently strikes the cobbled ground beneath. A dozen paces ahead of him, the messenger leads the Viceroy's escort, his lantern providing some light for the group. The party appro...

Stepping into the defiled building, Edric closed his eyes. He could not bear to witness the sight once more. Chairs lay strewn across the floor, good for nothing but firewood now. Dust and rubble had been thrown throughout the temple, remnants of the southern wall. And the altar. It stood out on the...

The Viceroy stood at the window of his office, peering out across Troll's Bane. Behind him, two attendants silently, but swiftly, cleared the room, filling two small chests with his possessions. Books, parchment, finery, gold. Everything of worth, and able to fit, was hurriedly packed into the conta...

The existance(!) of the gods of Illarion is unquestionable. It is like not believing in bats or toads. Maybe your character never saw a toad and hence, has problems believing that they exist, but he'll be an outsider. 99% of all characters should simply laugh about such a point of view. Another asp...

Maybe it's the group you hang with. :/ I don't have a group :( Well, everyone who passes through Troll's Bane at some stage, I guess. How many of those Findari/Bragon/Tanora/Usharas were related to my quest? Wow, I completely forgot about that. There were 2 Findaris, 11 Bragons, 12 Tanoras, and 17 ...

Everyone does ignore the Gods, to quite a significant extent. I just searched through my chat logs. Out of over 1,030,000 words there, the following figures show how many times each God was mentioned. These figures included alternative names (All-Mother, Bone Lord, etc). Ushara: 25 Bragon: 36 Eldan:...

I think that this must be something more than just bad RP . It is not restricted to a handful of cases, like poor roleplay is. Everyone ignores the Gods and their influence. I have met maybe three or four characters who properly acknowledge the Gods, and they were all priests who only stuck around f...

With like the help of a GM...or with fellow guard members that have been bribed Both would be possible, and good ways of escaping from prison. I'm sure there would be a GM willing to run an escape quest once in a while if it was planned out properly. And guards have been bribed before and shall be ...

Lighting fires in the manner described is forced RP. You are forcing other characters to act in a specific way. In this case you make them ignore an arsonist attacking their home, and take no actions to deal with the fires that threaten or destroy their property. It is exactly the same situation as ...

While I am somewhat amused by your paradoxical signature, I find your message both unnecessary and unhelpful. Why post this upon a public town board?

Yes, we are aware that there Orioli and Velisai lives.

Signed,

Edric Galthor
Viceroy of Troll's Bane

That is the biggest problem you see with that picture?

Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the Demon Quest. It has been a lot of fun, and really well put together. For me, it has been by far the most interesting time yet in Illarion, and has kept me playing actively these past months. It is a shame about the vocal minority, who felt the need ...

Mel has caused damages throughout the town of Troll's Bane that total several gold in r...

Several notices are posted around Troll's Bane, multiple copies can be found inside the prison and the tavern. I ask that all current members of the Town Guard of Troll's Bane send word to my office, confirming your loyalties and membership. Any who are not currently guards, but who wish to join an...

That's how I have been treating them. They were supposed to be removed, but weren't, so now they are just normal Troll's Bane guards.
