DD now has an Ethereal Ring, which upon twisting will allow him to unlock untapped potential. He will use it to access the infinite doors of the Labyrinth. (this topic will be used to keep logs)

Most of this is coming from http://magicduel.com/pages/help.info.php?p=creatureabilities so lets start. Sounds pretty useless to me unless you want to burn VE on purpose. Martyr ability plus the fact that power stat boosting defense stat can't compete with attack stat and weaken ability makes Defend totally useless. Why Defend doesn't work in exclusive hybrid mode (1)? With all the millions and millions of stats this kind of reduction would just level the playfield! Even better I would dare to make it instead of boosting defense to prevent percentage of incoming damage for next turn based on power stat which would have logarithmic scale(2). Why doesn't any hig…

After writing http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15773-rebirth/, I was told by a few that the idea was interesting. Now, what was found to be interesting was not the idea itself, as people do not conceive being demoted to mp3, but rather the implicit idea that death takes something away from you. The reasoning is that something so important as death cannot be treated lightly and in case of a murder, there should be consequences. Currently, the situation is like this http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14852-killing-and-revival/?hl=killing Now, I read some ideas posted in this topic http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14718-where-is-the-punishment-for…

Ann. 3154 - [2014-10-17 18:45:27 - Stage 12] - Permalink - Posted By Chewett Im going to take the game offline for about 20 minutes to do some needed config settings so your accounts are safe while im working. You wont be able to play. This will occur at 20:30 ST today. Send me an ingame message ASAP if there is a reason you need the game to be online during that period. Thanks :)

This is a list of everything that everyone has authority over. If you are unsure who has authority over something ask. If you know someone has authority over something but its not on the list, post. Go! Current list: Game Admins (Council, Chewett, Mur): These people have control over everything and do everything ingame. So anything below here, these people can do, but they may forward you onto the below people if you havent went to them first. Grido and Burns (second in command): All LHO matters go to them All matters regarding small time abuses in md (swearing etc) go to them, if they dont reply go to council Avatar things: Avatar managers deal wi…

So, originally we had a structure of that you talk to your ally leader about getting things, Then talk to your lander leader, who then can forward things onto the right people. The problem however exists is that not all the land leaders are knowledgable about MD and can actually help you do what you want. I have had a number of cases where a land leader has pointed people in the wrong direction, told them they cant do things when they most certainly can or just plain failed to tell them the right information. Initially my idea was to just "train them up" but after some discussion it would be a lot harder to do this since its not that they are new to MD, they just …

Split from this thread http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15739-the-labyrinth ~Burns [spoiler] [/spoiler] Dark Demon, I see just one issue with your "request": you and DD are not one. You try to plan DD as for a chess game. I'd suggest you to be DD not just to play DD from time to time. Otherwise ... I'd like to see how this new DD would be look like / act .

I am currently trying to design a more balanced and fluid version of Dan's quest/adventure known as DOM, but there are a few problems with it. Things I plan on changing: You may only move one location per phase Characters start with more AGI Map is much smaller, think floating islands with portals connecting them Add a spell/item that lets you open permanent portals between islands (portal ganks :D) What should the new DOM map look like? I don't mean aesthetics, I mean how many locations, how the locations should be connected, etc. A great deal of how the game is played will heavily depend upon the map. Should there be special effects at certain locations? Perhaps…

Concepts? Models? Plans? Ha! How is development organised? - It isnt, not until recently. During the early days, Mur had a number of core features he code and such. things like combat, messages and such. Features that were tested by the beta testers before you could register and play normally. This was planned and such. Then before we had additional coders in the game Mur just worked on a general plan and moved forward with it. Sometimes items would be left, sometimes unfinished or broken, but he would work on something else. Little plans were written but Mur kept an idea of what he wanted to do. Over the past years Mur experienced a number of computer related…

I always get asked to "deal with" people who repeatedly neg rep others. However there is only one case that I can properly deal with. Where someone has deliberately gone back over a large number of posts in a period of minutes and neg repped someone. This is where I remove their ability to give reputation. If someone is just neg repping you a lot, what can I do? What do you expect me to do? They could just say they think your posts are bad and Its then not fair to go "I dont agree, I will remove your ability" What does the community think I should do in these cases?

I've been reading the Necrovion Historical Documents. Yes, you'd think I would have read them earlier, but nevermind that. When I read A Sacrifice I had chills resonating in my bones for a day...until I realized something. I got them back when I realized something else though. The significance of destroying something's consciousness/soul, depends on the significance of a life. However, new souls are not very significant. If Wane, the virgin soul, was destroyed, then so what? If there's a limited amount of souls ever to be made, then what does it matter if there's now 954 instead of 955? If a soul is created when a body is created, then in real life, think of all of th…

Change is me. And I'm tired of playing me. While your character in MD tends to reflect some of yourself, Change reflects all of myself (most of the time). Edit: This also includes lengthy, heartfelt posts, so bear with me (and Change). So, I make lots of mistakes, I overthink things to no tomorrow, and I often am emotional about the littlest of things. I waited over 200 days to join a land because I (remember, Change is I and I am Change) was indecisive AND I thought that alliances were the only ways of getting things done in the land. So when I searched for a land for those 200 days, I was really searching for an alliance. I wanted to help people, because helping people…

I had some time on my hands so I made a very unprofessional S&L game http://storenow.net/my/?f=fa11bf8686bd58d1bfb6696715afde66 , http://storenow.net/my/?f=40c8b718050ef711d94619f37dfaaf2a I will use this topic for posting stuff - maybe some will turn out to be useful.

I would put a silver coin in.

Whoever killed Mur must have the ability to kill people (duh!), but only a limited amount of people have the ability to kill... dst has a kill weapon Eon has his contracts Chew had Wookie magic Mur can do it Who else can kill?

If you could implement one item in the game what would it be and do? E.g. I would implement something that would allow me to heat up cold tea (already implemented).

Hello! I have recently woken up again in the land, and as part of waking up, I am trying to find something I would like to pursue here. One thing I have decided on is a little bit of research, one that is turning out to be quite the stimulating intellectual adventure. However, I would love to talk and learn from a few others as I continue down this path. This list may expand, but I just wanted to use this topic as a linking point to get in contact with those people. If you are from one of the following alliances or lands and would like to sit down and discuss principles of Light and Darkness at some point, please, send me a forum PM or in game. I am normally at t…

Maybe I should file this in another forum, but as of now I'm not sure where I want to take this. Who here thinks he understands heat and is willing to attempt to define it? S

Upon suggestion I've decided to open up a new topic for discussing the current situation. What do you, the community, think should be done for the recent lack of MP3 players?

What do you think lands should do for you and what powers do you think they should have(new and current powers)? How should they fit into the authority of MD?

Two problems: 1) an old one - lots of inadequate avatars in the avatar shop. examples: 2) new one, proactively being done: Impromer tags. People get too much official tags (and also, alternative tags inside brackets look really ugly). Create some sort of an admin page for listing up relevant people, leave the tags for something in-character. For example, Eon's "Former Boss Heads Master" tag is a shame, considering Eon is one of the best fighters that maltreats (or used to) realm's population. Even if he was an active Boss Heads Master, I would refrain from putting up that particular tag. I also dislike tags in the spirit of "Leader of X", or "2nd leader of X".…

If you really care about depletion so much form a coalition of players against depletion. If someone depletes then the members of CPAD will agree to avoid trading with the depleter. That type of thing is one way to punish people in MD for doing something you don't like. This is not me forming CPAD, this is me making another topic about depletion that I expect to turn into a flamewar on the first page... Have a nice thread!

People need to get involved in MD otherwise bad things can happen. The change announced a couple hours ago, shows that we do have some people who care about combat and how to raise your stats. But it also shows that a number of big MD players have differing views on how to balance things. Tokens were suggested to be changed in this way, It was actually agreed on, and suggested to be implemented. However, as the MD community pointed out, and it was realised during the discussion, there were a number of issues which meant implementing this would be problematic. The small group that responded to Murs ask for help did not resolve these issues. Everyone here will be contac…

Ann. 3046 - [2014-06-20 21:14:19 - Stage 12] Posted By Chewett The boost per token when sacrificing has been reduced after discussion with players as this has been identified as something which divides players greatly between paying and nonpaying. Hopefully this should level the playing field slightly. For me the worst decision ever. The rate dropped by 60% and all effort to train and sac creatures are 60% less from now on in comparison to those of the last 5 years. I´m just expressing my disappointment with this. I hope this decision helps the realm somehow.

First off I wanna say I'm no real fighter/grinder or any of that, but I see this change as a general problem for MD instead of just for fighters. I decided to open this in another thread since it's a new idea which could solve many aspects of combat, not just tokens, and I'd like to hear the community's opinion. What I thought of was a double-system: Paying players and non-paying players. Both of these would be separate as far as combat is concerned; neither can attack the other. Everything would be different; the fights, the rewards, etc. However, this would only take place if the person BUYS credits. Credits earned or traded wouldn't switch the player to the "Paying…
