I think a display of the MC would go a long way to making Illarion more playable. Adding the MC display as a money sink is not a concept I endorse though. Characters should have some awareness of their own level of concentration and players should be privy to that. Another strange recommendation I h...

I'm sorry you had that experience, Uhuru. I logged in secret test characters for various reasons and found Temple POs making an effort to welcome the newbie character, showing the ropes, offering tools, etc. Non-Temple POs too and certainly not all of the Temple POs but definitely some of them. Some...

Starling arrived on Gobaith during the time the Temple had taken over Bane and the GMs had rebelled and turned off all the NPCs. I didn't find it awful at all. A small handful of players and the GM backlash were a little bit of overkill but otherwise, I thought it was fun. I wasn't strictly speaking...

An occasional message would be good. Maybe after every 10 player messages instead of after every single one. Borgate is just as spammy as the rest of the NPCs if you try to RP while sitting at the bar. I think all the NPC chatter is supposed to be a feature but a feature isn't much good if it drives...

I'm not 100% confident I understood that but I read it like a suggestion for a saved emote to display instead of an actual typed one. I'm not sure I see the advantage there. If someone is going to run past with a canned emote, I'm just as happy with a "greetings" or with nothing at all. Th...

I'm in the US and was never given an option to learn German. The school system where I work offers Spanish and Arabic. The school system where I live offers Spanish and French. I had an opportunity to study ASL too but I went to a school that had a lot of deaf students so I think that was probably a...

Plenty of arses around actually.

I found the lag severe tonight while cutting gems in Cadomyr. I seemed to be the only one affected and was the only one engaged in crafting with 3 or 4 other players around plus the regular NPCs. It was corrected by logging out and relaunching the client.

I rather like that the crafting tutorial has shifted off of Noobia and is now in the game proper. This gets players into the game faster and allows the characters to keep the free tools and the skills they gain while practicing. I think that's the single best feature of the VBU. I like the idea of b...

A dark-haired elfess happens upon the disorder in the home. Picking her way carefully through the mess with a guilty expression she mutters to herself, "I'm so getting blamed for this" and begins haphazardly trying to reorder things.

* A fresh note is pinned over the older ones * Anyone currently renting a property in Cadomyr please post here with the details or send me a dove. We're starting fresh and I don't want anyone unintentionally evicted. Just to put a clock on it, the deadline is two dwarven weeks. After that, all uncl...

I had a similar lag today. There was some movement lag but mostly with the text entry. I had to wait for the text to appear and it was full of double letters. After standing still for a while, the issue seemed to improve. It was definitely worse with movement.

I would also recommend these changes:

With clear emphasise on true roleplaying, ------------> With clear emphasis on true roleplaying

roleplaying is not bond to any limits. ---------------> roleplaying is not bound to any limits.

As to mid level dungeons, we have them, they are out there. And we are developing more to add a bit of variety. If you don't know where they are, please ask in game. People can direct you or even take you to them. FOIG is an outdated and not very helpful reply. When I can walk the map for hours and...

@ Giles: The death drop system we had before wasn't completely random. We had 100% bag drop and the loss of one equipped item. I don't remember for sure if belt inventory was involved but I don't think so. That resulted in people keeping their best stuff always in the depot. And why have something n...

So, I waited for the update to go check on the spiders again. I really believed developers and players were meeting halfway and that the spider cave was going to be tweaked in a way that made it playable again. I was surprised to discover that the spiders are even more overpowered than before this u...

I could move mine too.

That is actually a bug that happens some times and I don't know why exactly.

Another example of a bug worth keeping!

I like that the character inventory background is now transparent. I can't wait to see that with the other inventories.

@ Mephistopheles I agree that OOC isn't necessary in every instance. Personally, I love a magnificently played conflict. Grand warrior schemes? Thieves? If it means great roleplay, bring it. What I don't like is an attack that makes no sense in game and brings no roleplay opportunity for me. A PvP a...

Good boy

Edit again:

Never mind. I see what you guys are doing now.

Maybe count the deaths and post them on the high scores list as a hall of shame giving the wrong kind of glory to the faction. This is assuming that the no-RP attacks are being managed. Those are really boring and with larger consequences, the death system becomes an abusable source of entertainment...

Maybe this is what Ragorn said but when I click the link from the news feed, I get this:

"The requested topic does not exist."

If death is going to be given more serious consequences, there has to be more enforcement of RP. I don't mind the no-consequence PK but if I have to live with some consequences for my character, I expect the no-RP attacks to likewise have consequences for those players that just have to do it.

Any Gm can do that. Sure any GM can but none have to. Unless it's a deliberate omission, it would be nice to have the wilderness RP supported at the same level as the town RP. For that matter, the characters in the wilderness should count on the high score lists since we have them. Sorry maryday. I...

I notice that there are two GMs assigned to each town. I'm wondering why there are none assigned to the wilderness. Is this to actively discourage players from playing non-faction characters? If not and just an oversight, maybe having GMs promoting the wilderness RP would be a good thing.

Awesome! Thanks for the fast reply.
