This is a very long topic, and you will need time and a clear head to understand it. Pease read this post first, it is in a way the first part of "What's a Mur" riddle. http://forum.magicduel.com/topic/8328-the-mirror/ I put it separately because the Mirror story will continue its own way. when you are done reading that, be sure you still have time and your head doesn't hurt from the previous reading , and proceed with next post. This is a long one. It was meant as material for a book, so consider this the short version.

Respect is an invisible factor that is highly important in your evolution in MD community. Respect is earned not asked for or given as a gift...but you can fight to keep it. There is no written rule to influence your evolution in md based on how you show your respect to older players, especially to those that dedicate countless hours of their lives to make things more enjoyable to all of you, however, it is obvious that if you fail to respect such people, things won't go to far or too good for you. I am talking here about many people, people that actively help extending MD, or do quests and events or earned their position if MD society over the years. (eg:Recentl…

I will present step by step ..something.. that will start to take shape slowly and will be a major shift in how the social structure, tags and roles will be acknowledged as official. This is intended as a major thing in MD, but one that i am hoping to complete how things are functioning now and not change them too much. Roles/tags are earned through your constant activity and sometimes awarded on special occasions. Currently there is nothing except the tag and description and occasionally an announcement that makes the role official...what else could it be..my, or councils "word" is enough. Well...here is where things will updated a bit. At some point in MD hi…

What I am about to say, is worth reading, even if it will be long, it clears a mystery at the very base of MagicDuel, a mystery guarded for years. The answer to the question "Who killed Marind?", is something almost none of you knew. Some very smart figured it out but kept the secret and i thank them for that. When I had this story done for MD, by Adi, the one writing it, not even he knew who killed Marind. When initial project was done, you can't stop a writer with such a rich imagination such as his to continue writing and made up stories. This resulted in a wave of rumors and myths, all very damaging to how MD is built. Its not his fault at all, its the fault of thos…

Some forget, some do not know, that MD is a very delicate machinery build on logic gears. It is an intricate mechanism where nothing is random. Such a machinery needs secrets buried at different levels of complexity to work, same as a perfume needs incenses with different times of effect so that together they build a delicate and beautiful sensation. Like notes in a symphony that cant sound random for the music to be pleasant. Some of you, most ignorant and disrespectful, "veteran" players, think they know better. Building messenger groups and continuing the shit they started long ago and that i really hoped it ended. Well it seems these people continue to fuel such dis…

can we somehow bring more players here? i dont know how ,any ideas?

The recent changes to the popularity poll made in Announcement 6231 have, to my perspective, made the popularity poll even more frustrating to engage with. I've personally never liked the idea of giving a "disliked" vote to someone, and feel like I'm arbitrarily downvoting people because I have no option not to. To combat this, I'd like to propose a change to how the votes are actually carried out - instead of voting one person up and one person down, why don't we use a ranked voting system? Pick three names from the list, and place them in the order of most liked (value of say 3 to the first choice, two to the second, and 1 for the third). I do recognize being abl…

I think we the remaining population, those of us who remain loyal and supportive of MD and wish to never see it fade away. I think we should all have a get together when time allows. I really feel that we need lift up and give some praise to Mur and Chewett. They have and continue to do a phenomenal job with all things MD. All these years and MD still stands strong, even with a now small population. Those of us that remain call one another friend and would have otherwise never meet and have had the joys of sharing our spare time with each other. We've lost many, but their memories remain here in MD and forums and in our hearts. I really don't think any of us wo…

check the screenshot, its so funny.. It was supposed to know just what was written in the book (both!) and yet it gives a nice answer about something unrelated..that fits because obviously both the book and md have a coherent thought behind them, that fit in certain aspects. Let me know what you think

I've held onto these Avatars long enough, and it's time to share them! If anyone wants one (for free), send me a message. I don’t want these to gather dust in someone else’s vault, as they did in mine. The art deserves to be appreciated and displayed. So, one per person, ideally for someone who will use it. I understand our community is smaller now, so this may not be possible, but I hope to find them good homes. Dragon gone

(I decided to try to write a story for fun, I will be releasing some short parts of it in irregular intervals. Maybe more people will read it when it is not one long paragraph, hmm. The main idea of this story is to.. give certain areas in MD a bit of attention and life, I guess. I would be happy for any feedback. ) As a certain author once wrote: „Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten. „ And so, a young knator ended up on a Gateway Island. It was unknown what took him away …

How does it work? When you have an item capable of creating a chat choice action, you will see it marked with green in the inventory (full page and icons, not in the small sidebar) How you use it: if the item is named for example: "Ace of Spades", you type in chat this /present Ace of Spades or this: /present Ace of Spades for 100 *where the number is the number of seconds to enforce that choice in the chat for everyone If the "for xx" part is missing, whoever clicks the choices first, stops the voting and makes the result show. If the "for xx" part is present, the vote options will stay on for xx seconds, and collect al…

Evening all, I like to keep an eye on things in the game, especially now that some better players than me unfortunately don't have the time to play MD as actively as me. In the past I've raised concerns about alt abuse, for example what was dubbed "triangle trading" - where you use an intermediary to either transfer items to your alts or otherwise using alts to benefit your main - think using them to win a quest for someone else and have the winner transfer a cut/fee to your main. I usually raise these privately but I've decided to raise this one publicly as I feel there are a few people skirting a bit too close to the margins for my liking - and they keep doing…

/seen effectively does what locate does (mostly). What do we think about this?

I believe it would be nice to have a few phrases in the chat, which we could use to better/more efficiently describe our emotions/opinions. Here is my list of proposed keywords which should trigger the phrase, along with the phrase itself. Instead of the PLAYER, imagine the name of the one using the phrase. As a side note, it may be a nice idea to use some other special symbol to surround them, other than the '*', so the trigger words are still usable in simple asterix descriptions. Maybe use double asterix for this? **nod** nod - PLAYER nods in agreement. greet - PLAYER greets everyone around. shrug - PLAYER shrugs helplessly. yawn - PLAYER…

Ok not the contest yet, sponsorships and likewise is on hold for now. Just an opinion grab, if you'll give, because I'd prefer to hear more thoughts on this in recent times. I'm going to try not to reply here unless quoted with a question (because I'd like to hear your suggestions, not mine). To start: How would a head contest be fun for you in the style that I ran previously? Essentially that I can spawn heads onto/off of players if necessary and we can work from there.

i have problem,i m dead and cant back to live ( Obrac creates Fermented Marigold Nectar ) .I bring those to bees but nothing hapened (twice),any can help?

When I click on a player's shadow, it shows the attack button, but doesn't when in the same scene. This seems to just have happened today and I don't see any issues raised regarding this, so opening a thread now. See attached. Other players are able to attack me and (I assume) each other:

So I have been sending a lot of messages today. Not spam, just many messages as me and said player have been talking back and forth for a while. Now all of a sudden I am blocked from sending messages. I get this error message "You are temporary restricted from sending pms due to exceeded limits, please try again later." I find it strange as I've sent twice as many messages before and never got this message. Is this a bug or something? Never knew there was a limit to how many messages me and a player could send back and forth

I used a reality shard to bring life to an angien fenth. After doing so it was successful and went to my creatures inventory. However this is what shows. Says it is maxed, no file, no wins or stats. Did it somehow get bugged?

Although quite a lot of us visit MD each day, it is hard to catch each other "awake". When I wake up, I often only quickly sweep around if someone wrote something in chat and if there is someone not idle. After not finding anyone awake, I will go idle myself. And this seems just.. so impractical. I believe that many people do something similar, and even when we have some free time at the same time, we simply miss each other. I have been thinking, that we could perhaps agree on a few meeting times or maybe just common practices. To give an example, when it is a whole hour, like 19:00 or 20:00, we could send a simple message to chat to indicate that …

This has appeared at least 10+ times so far and I'm tired of disliking Ledah every time it pops up to the point that I'm actually starting to feel bad for him. Is this supposed to function like this? Just putting it out here in case this is a bug.

Anybody else having this trouble?

Unfortunately for the last year or two work has become busier and busier... this has meant that I end up doing a lot of things that I don't really want to, but need to, and not doing what I would like too.... At work I took over from my boss and I have been playing another one of those mobile games where I walk a lot. Walking is good and since starting I have walked 875,781 steps! Taking over from my boss has meant even more work, but I am hoping in the next year I will be able to reduce that after we get all the things that were not in control, under control.... I am hoping by the summer I can have a plan to reduce some of the various things I am doing s…
