Thank you muchly =D

Thanks, Achae!

Awww, weak. I put a lot of work into it, too. Ah well. =(

Thanks for the quick, reply, Dji. =)

Did I miss something? I was looking through the character database because I wanted to see my character's profile, but none of the character names are links including my own even though I set it to public.. Did something change with the database since last time I looked through it?

Mad Love@Tihgorac's Book of Combat! Whenever I see someone keeping something I created alive like that it makes me giddy.

Athian knows I respect him as an experienced player. Hell, when I was a noob it was membership in his guild the Seekers that helped me get my legs at Illarion. However, I don't think he has some magic point of view that I couldn't surmise as well and that apparently offends his majesty, the CM.

No there was no 'tone' meant for you, i apologize if it seemed that way, read it again and don't add your own flavoring. I still don't agree with you, but i think that's entirely within my rights, no? I've been staff at more games on more levels with more variance and different players than you cou...

@Aegohl You may have been a GM in the past, but don't speak for the CM's as you don't know anything about them. A assure you that the CM's are still players, most of far more active then you yourself were as a regular player or a staff member. Its that level of involvement in the game that actually...

My two cents on issues of inequality, punishment, jailing, justice, etc.. One problem that Illarion has is that the community is kind of disparate in ways. They don't hang out in IRC together but instead hang out in niches on MSN and elsewhere. The problem with that is that there are a lot of issues...

To be honest, right now I'm playing no mmo's. Although there is a shard that I've offered some story ideas to that will be opening in the coming months that I intend to try out. I really want to get back to my tabletop roots, because I find that a problem that always exists at mmo's is that most pla...

This may not be 100% on-topic, but one time there was some rp that had gotten way out of hand while I was a GM and every time I tried to fix it on the fly it just got more convoluted and more people got involved and finally I was just like "TIME OUT!" and stopped the rp and separated the o...

Fooser is a girl.

And trust me when I say that I think most GM's do take at least most of what was written there and use it. I don't want you to think that I don't believe that you're doing a good job (far as I know. I'm a bit too far from Illarion to know what goes on). And I can understand that folks make mistakes,...

It's kind of depressing when I consider how excited I was to write that thinking of how it would benefit the players.

Personally, I haven't found a game yet where the skill system answers the problems that the staff builds it to answer. People just make assumptions that it should be this way or that and don't take a logical view of what they're doing. Powergaming sucks at Illarion because there's no overall skill c...

Would it be hard to script something so that you could type, say, "#afk" and above your head it will say "<character name>(afk)" and after a couple minutes it kicks you? That would make it safe to go pee while not allowing you to abuse the system. While I'm making suggestions, an...

Roleplay is not immersion and if it is in your case, you're doing it wrong. =) What roleplay is is consensual storytelling. You can't have consensual storytelling with someone who isn't there, but it doesn't stop you from doing it with someone else. This is a point I regularly bring up and I actuall...

I'd also like to mention that it's kind of ungodly hard to gain skill at Illarion for a couple of reasons. I've played at servers that allow you to macro your skills while you're reading a book or watching tv in real life and the end result is unsurprisingly not altogether game-ruining. The fact is ...

Like I said, if someone's in a public area, send them a message. Kick people who don't answer in a couple of minutes. However, don't PK them for it. I've quit game for less. Illarion is a game for a niche audience and there are crazy tons of games directed at the same niche audience. Don't send your...

It's especially ridiculous because it's not like people are macroing skills here or something while they're idle. And as long as they're not in someone's way, what's the problem with having someone on? That it makes it look that there are more players online so other players log in? If they're in a ...

Illarionites has more people. I'm no longer the manager of that community(or even a member), but if you'd like I can ask the managers to kindly hand over management if you want to fill it with Illarion news or what have you.

Fluffy was a heroic sheep that ate demons for breakfast, more or less, and it was an honor to even pet his fur, if one was brave enough to get close to the thing.

Isn't it a PO's responsibility to give a legitimate reason why their character isn't around if other player's characters stories and in game goals depend on them. Like a town leader being absent? Mm, Yes. But isn't that what the Downtime thread is for? To do that very thing. =) Sorry I didn't answe...

I had to start over from scratch when I started again recently because my account got hacked a while back, but here are my characters as proof: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/azgalor/snigguls/simple http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/azgalor/m%c3%bc/simple We also had to restart the guild ...

Go back to WoW you traitor.

Sounds like a plan. Yoink!

The Downtime thread is often abused or at least used incorrectly and I can understand why. It's been a long time since I started the thread and I believe I had a topic in General that explained it back then. Most of you weren't around for the events that started the thread. This is the situation. Th...

What? The board changed? I don't see the difference... (jk, Nitters. =P)

How was it? It sucked. Were there a lot of people online? One. Me. Did you meet any people? Who? Where? I met mummies. What did you first do? I walked up to the mummies and tried to talk, but as NPC monsters they were not in a mood to talk back and so they chased me to the cross and killed me, then ...

I remember Ezor.. oh, and I thought that the biggest surprise was when we found out who Conscience was, Estralis. =)
