Currently, the mainland kingdoms have no abilities specific to them, other than an amalgam of their individuals who might or not have some roles. Which is weird considering that when kings were introduced, they were supposed to be epicenter of our realm's activities. Several years later, there is still no gameplay difference between mainlands and other lands. Others can speak about their own lands, I am curios about everything and eager to provide thoughts, although I will be addressing Marind Bell here specifically. If you look at the sign at our gates: Marind Bell Gates The remains of a once flourishing town, Marind Bells real name was forgotten, and it…

Come one come all to Loreroot's Birthday celebration! For the first exciting event, the back door will be open thanks to the wonderful wookie of the realm! If you can't come in through the front, try the back door by going through Marind Bell, heading toward the Archives then left through the alley. There will be opening history randomly through the day at the gate. There will be trivia and a scavenger hunt! Eagle Eye and Legna have quests. See them here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15797-loreroot-song-quest/#entry156071 and here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15794-loreroot-birthday-story/#entry156072 Come celebrate…

Look I know I've become a few people's favorite target lately. I've asked for it to stop in quiet places, but ways are being found around it. You've killed me. You've destroyed the Guardians of the Root. Do you really want me out that badly? Stop already. My Mother dying of cancer is bad enough. I come here to escape the misery that has become my outside life lately only to have it compounded here. I'm saying this now in front of everybody. Please stop. Stop the attacks on me and on Loreroot.

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?
