But i do still think that solving that topic you can solve it best IG and its something the players alone can change I don't see how people can continue to make this claim, when there has been absolutely nothing to suggest that it is possibly true. If this was something that could be solved by the ...

How did you hear of Illarion, what made you decide to make a char and play? I came across it on a list of online multiplayer games. Shadowbane had recently shut down and I was looking for a new game to play. Illarion was exactly the type of game I had been hoping for (though didn't think I'd find):...

Silo, in a real world situation, some of your points are absolutely valid. I'd even go so far as to say that I agree with some of them. There is definitely a strong case to be made for considering murder more morally reprehensible than rape. But I think the problem with your argument is that there i...

Nah, racism won't hold up. The law isn't concerned with preventing hatred against Orcs, Elves or Lizardmen. Even where humans are the subject of racism in game, it is still only against the species as a whole, or against the specific fictional races. Neither could be said to have any meaningful posi...

Well, that's possible, though obviously anyone with intent can argue that racism is not only tolerated in illarion, but totally flourishes.... Aye, ye longshank-greenskin-stubby-hairy-fish? I also guarantee you, that nobody has been banned (during my playing time) for saying "Women are crap fi...

Or maybe because there's actually relevant, enlightening discussion occurring. Not everything must be locked instantly. Honestly, whining about it not being locked is far more off topic. Agreed. If you've got a problem with this thread...just don't read it. In any case, I've found the legal tidbits...

And to play that Char X have raped/curse/tortured/killed/done whatever to Char Y is IMHO important if we dont want an a all-nice-flower Fantasyworld. If we want villians, we cant banish all evil. A book's nothing without the deeper, darker bits. And you're not going to get that without stepping on ...

Roleplay, books, movies share one fundamental element. They are fiction. Nothing else. People should realise that. Fiction has nothing to do with RL. The analogy doesn't work like you want it to, because roleplay, books, and movies also have some fundamental differences. Roleplay involves interacti...

It only took 25 responses for someone to produce a sensible reply to the initial post. Impressive.

How would people feel about somebody playing a rapist?

The best solution would of course be a system that empowers players to hand out killing blows if they feel it is warranted. This would enable high skilled characters to engage in conflict with anyone without it being a punishment, if you knock some one out/down, rp with them, take their gold and th...

Couldn't agree more. The attitude is spread all throughout the community, right up to the top. I think the head would be the best place to start. The staff seems to have this mindset of 'hunt down every single rule-breaker, and come down on them with everything we've got, no matter how minor the bre...

When was the last time that a significant IG conflict was resolved entirely in game? (i.e. without anyone crying to the staff or abusing OOC to get ahead) This has never, ever, happened in the entire history of illarion. Does this not seem like a major problem to anyone else? A problem that somethi...

Cut the 'find out in game' nonsense and somebody just tell the guy what crafts are in most demand IG.

It really is that easy.

As promised, here are the developers' answers to the questions asked in the previous thread. Thank you to everyone who participated and offered a question or two. We've ended up with a really good range of discussion points, and they've been divided up into general categories. A big thank you also t...

Looks like we've got a fairly decent spread of questions there. Thanks to everyone who has asked one so far.

I'll leave this thread open a few more hours, so hurry up and get those questions in before it's too late.

Probably the best character profile I've seen here. Definitely top three.

I've got no idea what people are expecting from the PO in order to bump this up to a 10/10.

Deutsch weiter unten Been dying to ask a question about the VBU? Now is your chance to have it answered! With the VBU quickly approaching, Illarion's developers have decided to begin stepping up their interactions with the community. We work on improving this game because we want people to play it ...

-No need for the random harshness,removed-Athian-
kudos for posting the RP, I enjoyed it.

Shouldn't the CMs be supporting a bit of OOC cooperation between players?

These things never work out if you try to get them done IG. Just look at basically every Illarion guild...ever.

*sigh*

I like that idea.

There should definitely be some guides/help on these forums for new (and old) roleplayers, especially for things such as character creation.

From the wiki: "All children reaching the age of four learn to read and write, calculating, philosophy, poetry and historical knowledge at schools three times a week. As from the age of twelve all children have the duty to follow lessons in using swords and shields. At the age of 14 all childre...

So, I'm wondering what people really thought about the Noble/feudalistic governing set up in Bane which has now been abandoned. Did the majority of you dislike it? If so why? I like the idea of feudalism in Troll's Bane. But I dislike the way that it was implemented in this last instance. It was la...

Cheers guys. I'll try Vilarion, see if that comes to anything.

Bah. Is there maybe someone who checks their PMs?

Quick question: Who does a complaint about a Community Manager's behaviour get directed to?

Elsewhere on the mainland, far away from the lands of Gobaith, another letter arrives. Nalzaxx claps his hands with glee, always eager to recieve such messages, and walks hurridly into his study to open the envelope. He settles himself at his desk and dons his spectacles as the dove which carried t...

Something that disturbs me a little about community of players here, is i keep seeing a lot of such replies as Grokk's. Not at all trying to insult Grokk, but it's kind of a "small game" mentality, that the system is perfect in its black box realism, it works well as it is, etc. Don't get...
