@ Kevin: Why must we always fall into the stereotype that mages are the weak weedy ones and fighters are the big muscle bound dolts that seem so intrinsic to the fantasy genre. Who cares if a mage maxes his parry and dodge, his stats will still be lacking in the fighting areas and his performance wi...

Classes are fundamentally against some of the basic principles of Illarion. I think the ability to be able to skill up everything and anything leads to a whole host of much more interesting characters. I must concurr though, mages are incredibly overpowered, and while it may spoil my own fun a littl...

Hardly a fair comparison, but my full rebuttal shall wait for tomorrow.

But, also, this is a role playing game. How many times have we seen people write that this is not a regular hack and slash game? Rp'ing injuries is a way to get more rp, and less of the hack and slash. And this is why I play illarion and not another generic game. The point remains however, that the...

Illarion is not real life it is a game. People do not roleplay injuries for days because it is not fun to do so. People play (and rightly so) in order to have fun. If you want people to stay out of action longer, and roleplay more injuries, increase the technical penalties for death. I for one am in...

It depends entirely on how you define evil. Just because they share the same goals as the "Oh so evil temple" (Which really isn't anymore) doesn't make them evil too. And just because one group has been set up to be "Good, light and dedicated to cleansing evil" and another has a ...

How is this a FOIG matter?

When you get to a certain level you no longer gain experience from certain monsters.

Go find a harder monster if you want to continue gaining levels. Most people go for the demon skeletons after gnolls. They will take you all the way to 100 (given enough time).

I am resisting the urge to rant so much at the moment. And I don't want to point fingers but I would like to point out that the Salkamaerian presence did destroy a lot of the momentum that was building in the game. Not to mention the fact that the omni-present guards effectively banned the entirety ...

Er...

Can't you already do this?

I seem to remember you needed like 5 sibanac for 1 thread.

By the Gods please lock this now.

((An Open RP for characters involved with Verdazar. Send a PM if you are unsure if this includes you. Verdazar is currently located in the Temple.)) His image danced wildly with the flickering of the candle's light, holding the embers closer to the glass Verdazar gazed intently at his reflection, a...

I imagine death by fire to be somewhat of a whole body consuming affair. So perhaps the penalties for death by fire/ice etc could be raised to reflect this (-4 to con for example) while still being scripted as the chest being hit. However this is something the developers can decide based on their ow...

I like this idea, however I would propose a few adjustments to the mechanics in order to make it both more predictable and less complicated to code. Firstly I would like to take all of the randomness from the equation. Afflictions should depend upon the manner of death and occur 100% of the time. De...

I'd wear a skirt before a kilt anyday.

Anyone north of "Beeeeeerminghum" are scummy northern bastards.

We always used to have wooden chests that worked for exactly this purpose. When you put them on the floor they blocked that square. Which caused much hilarity with trapping ghosts and/or putting 500 down in order to warp across the map. Although as far as I'm aware this was the reason they were remo...

By the Gods people. Does it kill you to show a little gratitude? The devs have, and still do, work incredibly hard on this project to completely revamp illarion and make it a significantly better game in almost every single aspect. And all you can do is bitch about the fact you can't play fairies an...

To clarify: NO CHARACTERS ARE CHANGING RACE. However the devs are offering to (in effect) transfer the skills to a NEW character. One which is completely seperate from your fairy/gnome/whatever. The alternative is to start a new character from scratch. I repeat. The NEW characters having NOTHING in ...

British English all the way.

Bring back our U's!

Because no-one will pay attention anyway.

I completely understand the ramifications of keeping the name from an INGAME perspective yes. However I was trying to address the OOC misconceptions. When characters say, "The Temple is evil they worship dark gods." that is completely fine of course. When you argue from an OOC perspective ...

Alright, as fun as it is to read all this fine Temple bashing once again I think it is time I stepped in and said a few words. Firstly I'd like to mention that much of the argument from Temple players here stems from the fact the whole affair, (and indeed this thread) smacks of OOC prejudice against...

I want the first message through an ingame pager to be, "sup peep chek ur msn yo".

Staves = Long wooden weapons that have a melee function and are made for warlocks and good mages.

Wands = Long wooden things that lock on spells but have no melee function have are made for noob mages.

I don't use staffs. :p

I remember there was a mule that got stuck on the entrance to Silverbrand.

Many laughs that caused.

Nudge nudge hint hint.
