Feuer Frei! / Fire Freely!
Alright. Forest Fires.
Just a wonder, how do you start these kind of incidents (forest fires)? I personally want to prevent them, as my character is getting into more glassblowing, and he has to burn large amounts of wood to get potash... yet I burn them in more forested areas for convenience and safety of towns.
... Are these just like GM'ed events that happen if your careless, or what?

How it works is like this.
Everytime you make a campfire it has a chance to start a wildfire.
A wildfire looks like the average mage flame.
The wildfire also has a chance to start another wildfire.
And so the process inevitable accelerates.
Untill the forest is consumed,
Someone puts it out,
Or it stops spreading of its own accord.

One should note that arson itself(!) is not frowned upon by GMs or players but characters. Griefing and destructive behaviour is frowned upon by GMs.Arson is -highly- frowned upon by GM's and players alike.
So, lighting a fire is not a rule violation. Waiting for everone of a certain guild logging off, walking to their guild hut, lighting hundreds of campfires at the very same spot and logging off as soon as the wildfire starts - that is not such a good idea...

What is Griefing exactly? I'm guessing it has nothing to do with crying or sobbing in any way - maybe a revenge? Could someone define that a little better for me?Estralis Seborian wrote:... but characters.

Very nice. Thanks for the help guys. I'm surprised that there is such a great community out there for Illarion. A lot of games similar to this take a great deal of time for the Gamemasters or other players to get back to you, but this one just seems to be fantastic at supporting new players and old players alike from what I've seen. Thanks a lot for your time!

Starting wildfires exactly at the time when the players you target are definitely not logged on is very unfair behaviour. You want a fight, go and get it, but using OOC chances for your own advantage or just to ruin some other player's day just for a reason-excuse like "my char doesn't like elves" is a kind of unfairness that is simply not needed in this community. Such habits, always done by a few, have driven a lot of players out of illarion already, and it is only consequent of the GMs to act in such cases now.
This game is about roleplaying and having fun with other players, and making everyone else enjoy the game. NOT about making people angry the unfair way.

Anyone who through fire or any other means, intentionally or unintentionally, damages the property of the town, an individual or a group commits a crime under the law. To encourage caution with fire, even unintentional cases of property damaging will be punished with fines. The minimum fine is 25 silvers but there is no upper limit.
Taken from the Archduchy of Troll's Bane thingy-ma-bob. Under serious offenses letter C.
You could be sentenced to, but not limited to... *Fun little price-awarding ceremony music*
A fine of 25-50 silvers! Oooooo...
Banishment from Troll's Bane and surrounding estates forever! Ahhhhh...
-or-
Twenty days of jail time!

Last I heard was it was a rather big glitch that was already reported. Turns out the maps for a lot of the underground pieces (underground of the Fluffy Sheep Tavern, jail, wells, etc.) are missing from the database and thus the server for some bloody reason. The Gamemasters are working on it, so no worries for the time being.
It'll be fixed soon, and I'm sure the lizard is quite happy in solitude for now.
