Re: Perilous Facts

The relevant parts for possible ig progression are set in the recent timeline, specifically anything unfolding in the year 60. The 'past' parts are meant for character development mainly and thus optional, but will be strongly referenced in current events. 3rd Ronas 20 , somewhere in Gynka’s swampy...

Re: Perilous Facts

a few hours ago 'I will have to consult with them first' , the elf said. Tyan, in his armor which was showing signs of having received blasts from magic wands, was wandering off towards a Runewickian bridge. 'Of course.' 'But if it is their will I shall' , the elf added. 'I'll take the blame and ge...

Re: Downtime / Abwesenheit

Just a lifesign: After Christmas I had am unexpected busy schedule, then underwent minor surgery and when I actually had time and motivation to log in, it was during hours where not much was going on. And when I would have wanted to (e.g. Mas), there was no time. I hope that the two things -- my fre...

Re: Town Reforms: A more dynamic system of participation

How do you want that to be measured? A good point. That's why the idea would require three active and observant GMs. They will be able to see who plays when & how, just like any player can determine who else is active in their city. And then they make a human decision, not a number decision, me...

Re: Town Reforms: A more dynamic system of participation

What among online time, other "hard" requirements (things one can put in deterministic numbers, such as gold paid) and "soft" requirements (things one can not, such as piousness or sociality) should weight how much for the GM deciding? How could an ideal balance be achieved? I'd...

Re: Town Reforms: A more dynamic system of participation

Leaders should be mortal, yes, but the GM run settlements serve a greater purpose. However, leader NPCs should be characters like everyone else, just played by a GM. Thus, they might change (and with that, also their ideas and goals), but not the underlying system. At least if following my initial p...

Town Reforms: A more dynamic system of participation

Prefarce: Looking at a constantly declining number of players and general unhappyness with some design features (ingame wise, not technical, mind you), visible in this and this topic, I think a discussion should be had as Achae suggested when the topic was closed.

Re: You are the barrier...

If we're at it with thought provoking theories , let me add one: The VBU got rid of the "player run" towns and installed three GM leaders. Later, due to constructive criticism of the community, the staff ruddered back and allowed a hybrid : We still have the unreplacable three, who pose as...

I fondly remember your Don RP from when the VBU was still new, if I remember correctly. Despite any differences there might have been, was good seeing you in action again, wishing all the best & see you down he road. :)

Re: Questions about Repairing

The item used seems to be random, but I didn't test it yet. You need all necessary items for production available. The material is needed randomly. In average the material is used every 3.3rd repair if the item was 99% damaged But you'll need them in your bag to actually start the repairing process....

Apart from that, it would have been nice to know how the repair works. How do I fix something? As advertised, the "Repair" menu appears in the crafting menu if a player smith (or carpenter, or tailor) has an item in the belt that matches his or her skill level. A level 99 blacksmith can n...

I have experienced the same notification while using the Opera browser.

I believe it was only referring to the autofill of the username, though.
I've never let a browser save my password and I wouldn't recommend doing that despite the website.
