Good reason.

Post by ¿Unknown? »

I want one damn good reason.... why that depot near the mill is missing.

why the Anvils in the workshop are moved one square (which really is just an inconvinece)

why the walls of the grey rose stop travel from east to west there.



Other things with little or no roleplaying sense (Don't say gods!):
Who dug those strange caves that are apearing everywhere
Why fish just die during the drought? It's obviously not that hot or we'd be dead.

Other things: This game has far too little of an online population to have several citys, this merely spreads the few people playing out, causeing less interaction time.

Because they said so is the only reason they need, but, they have taken many anti-powergaming measures, and making places that already exist more useful (example: workshop). You can easily find out most of these things in-game by asking around.

Oh, and gods and goddesses are very real in Illarion.

Because castles are supposed to be of strategic importance, not just a place to sit around in.
Who dug those strange caves that are apearing everywhere
Because people want to reach minerals, and the only way to get good amounts is to follow veins under the earth.
Why fish just die during the drought?
Because water evapourates more rapidly during times of great heat, thus reducing the concentration of water, and in turn increasing the concentration of natural salts that would normally be carried to the ocean. This increase in salts causes the fish to die.

This depot was removed some months ago as a result of players behaviour just to make some steps outside, dig in the ground (what was possible those days) and step back to the depot with big amounts of coal and ore.

This was done when we changed smithery. When it came up that you need the anvil, it was necessary to prevent players to smith with an opend depot to reduce powergaming

This is the result of an ingame urban development that came with the Grey Rose Castle. For it was an ingame development it would have to be changed ingame.

Me. What is your question or complain ?

Fish mortality is very common during hot periods. Just have a look in summer. The water loses oxygen, algas spread and fishes leave or die. After the dry, fishes return.

This game has far enough players, they play in different time zones, with different frequency and many of them with several chars who can not be online at the same time of course. And: it's a game, so you need to use a little imagination just to discern all those (invisible) people in the streets, all these (invisible) houses, where most of the chars live and sleep, and such things. This game is about role-playing, it's not the Sims.

Why do you call youself "unknown" ? Do you hide your real identity because you knew all those answers and just want to say: "I do not like them!" ?

You could have also posted this with one of your more known board accounts, and maybe we could have started a serious discussion.

I agree with a few of the things you have said, but Firstly the GM's do as they please, "because I said so" Is exactly that, good enough reason.

Second at least say it in a civilized manor not "I want one damn good reason" you could have asked politly why they have done these things and if there is any way YOU can change them

@ Caranthir: Lol! someone got a little crazed :lol:

It was Caranthir, and he is actually right.

There is the possibility to reveal the identity of the author or the first posting.
"Fingerprints" are everywhere, Pronon.

I find it sad how people still confuse me and Mishrack together, despite the fact that I changed my avatar.

Sorry Caranthir

@I never questioned weather you could find out who it was. If you are implying that that person is me, its not.
