Small Update of the magic systemToday there was a small update of the magic system. The changes effect mainly the weaker spells of the system. Those spells got a slightly strength increase, but also a short casting time delay as its common for other spells. Now there should be no more spells a mage can cast at other characters without casting time delay. written by Nitram on 13. November 2008 06:54 pm No more naming and shamingDear players, The ways of reporting bad or offensive names have been discussed among the staff intensively, and it has been decided to change these ways. Currently, players may report violations of the name rules on the general board. These reports get processed by Gamemasters (usually Arien) and tend to be discussed. Furthermore, this topic was viewed more than 100.000 times with more than 4500 replies. It is usually a hot topic on top of the general board. The majority of names reported belongs to newbie characters. As experience has shown, the vast majority of players abandons Illarion after less than ten minutes. Thus, the majority of reported names belongs to already inactive characters. Furthermore, banning a newbie is the most effective way to make sure the newbie is never seen again. Therefor we have decided to delete the "Another Name to Kill"-thread, and have decided to let players only report bad or offensive names through use of !gm or e-mail (You can also PM me, Mesha). This change has been done to avoid endless discussions on names, and to avoid newbies potentially seeing their names being degraded (which is terribly incentive for a newbie to stay in the game). Also, a new change regarding the online-list: Newbies aren't shown on it anymore, only the fact that a newbie is online. So when a newbie logs on, regular players will see: "And 1 newbie" similar to how hidden characters are shown. GMs can still see new players, judge their names or scoot over to help them We hope to have informed you enough, written by Mesha on 10.
