Work in progress

The Regen countdown timer has been improved so it attempts to correct the time with the server. Every minute that it counts down it does some math to readjust so that a slow/fast PC will not made the timer go massively slower or faster. This means that every minute it becomes "correct" again. The math is does is a soft reload, which means it does not attempt to work out if anything big has changed such as items that affect the regen. Previously it did not do this so sitting in once place for a long period of time caused it to go completely out of balance. If you move around or load any pages it will trigger a hard reload and it will work out the actual time and adjust…

A new Quest Voting page has been designed and is currently being implemented. This will be used to judge bigger quests such as MD Birthday events and can be used by any quest maker and TK's to judge quests they are sponsoring. The basic interface is available via a link on the topbar but it does not work at the moment. One useful facet is that it is anonymous and can allow quest makers to receive feedback relating to their quest easily from those ingame. A discussion has been created on the forum as to make suggestions to improve it or questions.

I am looking for a number of questmakers that want to try using the interface before it is properly used for MD birthday. Please contact me if you want to use it and you will gather feedback before the start of the festival. This does not mean you need to have announced winners of the quests and you can voulenteer if your quest has already finished. I will set up the poll for you, and then people can vote for your quest and you will recieve the feedback, as well as the TK leaders. Thanks for your help, i will be wanting some feedback and ideas to change it or make it better. Any general comments on plans on it can be made here.

Note: This is talking about an older feature called the Treasury. This is different from the TK treasury and drachorns lair. The treasury allowed you to donate credits to a specific faction. At present there are only 3 factions you could donate credits to, the LHO's, the now defunct artesians guild and the Golden Globe Gazette. There is currently no system in place to get these credits back or distribute them, but that can be implemented later. Does anyone see a possible use for them? have ideas why they might be useful? complain that they used the feature?

I have edited and formatted them, and the suggestion will be that the rules will appear in the same manner like now (meaning we will use drop down boxes for details and keep the rule page short and clean. Council email will be hyperlinked, but using a picture like on the forums). Please comment on things to fix/change: [url="http://magicduel.cixx6.com/info.rules.html"]http://magicduel.cix...info.rules.html[/url] EDIT: This topic was made to discuss them and to change formulations/formatting when needed. GENERAL THINGS TO KNOW: If Mur is mentioned, we are talking about Muratus del Mur, the game creator. Council refers to [council], the anonymous pl…

I do not want to step on anyone's toes, but Aysun started this and now after months of inactivity on it her original thread is closed. I do not know what Aysun did or didn't submit, what she did or didn't acquire - but I intend to complete what has been left unfinished. Aysun - if you want to contact me to get this finished, please do so...as I have stated to you previously. If you can head it up again, all the better. Everyone else - this is everyone's project, I'm just making this thread for the sake of saying what I intend and hopefully then anyone with input can contact me just so we have a hub. I don't know about anyone else but I want to see it finished, and s…

Unless the daily reset timer for protector spells has changed, it appears that protectors have had their spells limited from 20 casts of each spell per day to 20 casts of each spell per week. That is less than 2 heal spells available per day at that ratio. Really? The announcement made it sound like just the spell tree would be reset along with the other spells, not casts.

Quote of bugs@MD. I am not sure if the date in the topic's title is the right one, but it certainly is soon after the meeting, held with bugs@ [quote]Summary of meeting with bugs@MD Why is MD breaking so much? - Issues with another service on the server causing PHP sessions to break. - Should now be fixed, report again if the issue occurs again. - BMMORPG broke because they are run on the same server and the server was affected. - Information shall be posted as soon as we can but if someone isn't around then its impossible to actually post information. Do you read the forums, specially the bugs section, yourself, or do you rely on information passed to you by Mu…

[cquote] Recently a couple of you have reached a specific level of skill whereby you are able to collect more than one resource per use with your tools. Some tools will allow you to gather more than one resource per use, provided you have the nesscary level of skill. I don't have the list of these items offhand, nor the specific value of skill, so please don't ask. Some were concerned that, after reaching the required skill, they could deplete a resource accidentally. I am considering changing the system so that higher skill levels are still useful in giving multiple resources without the possibility of gathering more than one resource per use. The …

[quote] [color="#CCCCCC"]Ann. 2380 - [2012-08-24 22:24:19 - Stage 11][/color] All this candy rattling around in your pockets will now again expire into a new resource type after it has been left a while. [color="#CCCCCC"]Ann. 2379 - [2012-08-24 00:00:18 - Stage 11][/color] [b]Feature: Expiration of Items[/b] Items now will possibly change if they are not used within a certain date. The first item to have this implemented is a piece of Rainbow Candy. If it is not eaten within 2 weeks of being created it will turn into a different piece of candy. These changes will be incrementally done, don't expect all "changed" items to have uses immediately and don't assume becaus…

Aged creatures might become more valuable than they are now. If you plan to sac them now it might be a good idea to wait a bit longer and see what i mean. This is not an announcement because idk when or how exactly they will become more valuable, but its a 'tip'. The age of creatures needs to become more valuable in terms of its influence to other things in the realm, to balance certain other more recent developments. For those that enjoy seeing md in terms of a fine balance of interacting factors, i can give them a clue. Shared items do not require player age but give the power to handle resources, breaking any connection between a players age and its amount/value of …

[color=#0000ff]Split from the Council Topic http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/12400-development-focus/[/color] [color=#0000cd]~Burns[/color] Comments to you guys I dont understand your attitude You negative rep suggestions to make life easier or more interesting to new players ... You want to only remain essentially with the actual population of players? You negative rep suggestion to put tools in hand of new players, you dont want them to see or learn the part of the game of using tools, making some wealth? You want it to remain only in hands of a few? and then you complain that new players think only of fighting not trying the other game possibilities. …

[quote]Ann. 2317 - [2012-06-04 20:22:46 - Stage 11] [b]Development Focus[/b] From the last post, it seems like a number of people are thinking in a different direction than we are, and want as much feedback as possible. To get a a much broader view of what people want, we are looking for comments on anything you think we should be working on now. Please make a topic with the first post being these instructions. Following posts should only include one "idea" that you feel should be worked on first. Ideas should be "voted" on using the reputation.

[color=#CCCCCC]Ann. 2022 - [2011-09-23 02:40:39 - Stage 11][/color] [b]Fierce Needle of Feebleness - New legislator item[/b] "A legislator item is an item that that uses the 'fight causes' to apply a very strong effect on a target player. The Fierce Needle of Feebleness will dramatically weaken a target, lowering all its stats by percentages based on the total number of cause fights fought against him. The effect can be much stronger than with any previous curse spell or punishment. A limited number of such tools were placed as shared items in MB. The effect type and power of legislator items will vary for later items and will even allow permanent stats damage to a targ…

as the topic says, I cannot edit the book in Lore manor, and it says it's a grade 4 clickable (of course i have edit grade 4 ability) I know tho that it is editable (Firsanthalas checked, and he can edit it) so... is this just me or it's actually an RPC clickie and not grade4?

That Established Housings now has a torch base is interesting, but basically cuts off the way into GG totally. Either by Laby (forget it since visc means you take forever), or Path of Loneliness, which means you automatically score there, or cannot go past it. This also means Golemian people cannot really effectively score aside from there. Land Papers are a HUGE help now to get into lands, even GG. So possibly (after a kill) the dedicated people could score now. Same applies for Necro, which is also cut off this way. However with no shared pass papers and 666 Gate AP getting in there to score wil be impossible (or almost). Viscosity however still is a (bug/feature…

As inquiries have been made about the completion of the MD calendar and a response given that it is now an open community project with potential incentive, I thought I'd start the thread for the work. I've personally been interested in the calendar for quite some time, so I'd really like to help with this if possible. Could the person who will be in charge for putting up the finished work once it's all completed PM me please? The announcement made was as follows: [quote]As you probably noticed, the calendar for these few month does not exist yet. Any of you is welcome to help by providing interesting ("same style") info for each of the missing days till the end of…

During the Day of Absurdly Blind Justice the PL laws where brought into question. Muratus made two suggested changes, which he would like the communities opinion on. Remember that these are two [i][b]separate[/b][/i] suggestions, with the second building on the first:[list=1] [*]PL entries can be flagged as inappropriate/offensive. Flagged PL entries will be sent to moderators to determine if they break the laws governing PL Content. A PL that breaks the PL Content laws can be edited by the moderator. Edited PLs will: be marked to indicate they have been moderated; be edited in such a way as to retain the original meaning without breaking the PL Content laws (ie lots of …

I know there are achievements to unlock the Research and Connections, and I know you can spend WP's to get Clue points... But what about maybe being able to earn Clue points via achievements? Especially considering some achievements give you WP's anyway... It seems to make sence to me... And you don't have to have them give 10, 5 or 3 is fine... Maybe the harder they are to unlock, the more they give? You could even have a series of achievements... Like the AD thing, only with other things...

I think there should be another bit to that idea to stop people from being citizen of all lands for a while to get bonus on all lands. Imo, the land loyalty should only decrease the AP needed for traveling if the loyalty in question is the highest of all the loyalties of that player, or in the calculation of the AP cost, loyalties to other lands get subtracted from the land loyalty that's currently used. If the loyalties of a person change, the land should notice that, and not give them bonus anymore.

For those of you working on the assignment for Mur.... He wants three columns - Coordinate - In - Out. "Out" means shortest path to the GoE. "In" means shortest path to the capital or center point. If you are out on some dead-end branch, both "in" and "out" will be THE SAME DIRECTION since whichever destination you are seeking, you have to go back to the main road first. "In" does NOT automatically mean the opposite of "out".

its calculated by a formula, here are the values for up to 3k days 0-100 [spoiler] Days:1 = +0Ap Bonus Days:2 = +1Ap Bonus Days:3 = +2Ap Bonus Days:4 = +2Ap Bonus Days:5 = +3Ap Bonus Days:6 = +3Ap Bonus Days:7 = +4Ap Bonus Days:8 = +4Ap Bonus Days:9 = +5Ap Bonus Days:10 = +5Ap Bonus Days:11 = +6Ap Bonus Days:12 = +6Ap Bonus Days:13 = +7Ap Bonus Days:14 = +7Ap Bonus Days:15 = +8Ap Bonus Days:16 = +8Ap Bonus Days:17 = +9Ap Bonus Days:18 = +9Ap Bonus Days:19 = +10Ap Bonus Days:20 = +10Ap Bonus Days:21 = +11Ap Bonus Days:22 = +11Ap Bonus Days:23 = +12Ap Bonus Days:24 = +12Ap Bonus Days:25 = +13Ap Bonus Days:26 = +13Ap Bonus Days:27 = +14Ap Bonus …

[quote]News: PM to Email You can now be notified by email of personal messages you receive on MD. Settings for this feature can be changed in your options page. [/quote] Is it a good idea to be this on for default? you can get a lot of PM's and me for one would really consider this as spam if i joined a new game. Surely this would be most likely to get MD listed as a spammer on mail servers for this? if it was disabled as default, then people would enable it if they wanted it, then it would mean you wouldnt get spammed tons when you got a pm. I hate it when any website decides to contact me without me wanting it.
