greetings all as most of you know, HC is not quite the contest it appears to be. currently the winner is decided on who has the most time to hide in the deepest corner. the fighting part has almost completely disapeared. therefore i would ask to appoint new HC moderators who will see to it that the contest remains interesting. (bringing players back in one spot from time to time, teleporting players who are hiding in sealed locations) i'd like to see some chaos again when HC is around, not just us vets complaining that it's taking so long again. any additional ideas or feedback is welcome on a different note, currently creature shield (ann 2770) prevents…

As previously mentioned, I don't think the list of current players should show what land they are in (in terms of position). It makes it too easy to find other players when we already have the map, friends list, locate spell, and walking tracks. Some lands are small enough that it takes a very short time to walk around and deduce the player's specific scene. Thoughts?

Torch Contest New Concept These are just the basics to a very complex idea. I need to know if its possible to code this with the time frame and energy the programmers have and are willing to spend, before I go crazy and plan out and type up everything I can think of. PLEASE LIMIT YOUR REPLIES TO CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK AND AVOID NEEDLESS ARGUING. THIS IS A DISCUSSION. IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO ATTACK SOMEONE ELSE'S IDEA KINDLY SEND THEM A MESSAGE INSTEAD. To clarify, it need not be a kindly message, it would just be kind of you to send it to them instead of posting it here. The Basics The most important aspect of this Torch Contest Concept focuses on allowing …

Day 254 of Year 8 at 0:30 server time. That will (hopefully) be the day we kill the visc leading up to and including the MDA gates. We will gather at GoE and then when we are all there we will all run through MDA and get the visc hopefully to -80. Please post ITT if you plan on attending.

There has been a lot of hoohaa in MD recently concerning resources. Some people are trying to use every measure possible to prevent resource depletion and there are others who want to deplete and have announced an event only for the sake of depleting resources. Once i started thinking about the issue, I wanted to know why people are against resource depletion. I mean, in earth's environment, resources help in maintaining the balance. Something similar to the term homeostasis. But in MD's environment, resources don't do any of that stuff. They are there just to be collected. By depleting, their regrowth gets slower and hence the other people who want to collect the resour…

We now have a fully formed public council who will start to work under their own terms. As previously said this is an experiment to see what happens. I have initiated the process of them directing some of the movement of MD by sending them information on details such as organization. Hopefully the next messages you hear about this will be from their own mouths instead of mine. I am excited for what is going to happen for them, its a big difference to the hidden council and we shall see how they react. Its going to be interesting what the public will bring to them, be it ideas or complaints, becuase now if you have an issue ingame you have another authority you can consul…

Death is an important part of MD. But Murder in any form is not justified even if it is transient or in game. It is a horrifying thing to even think of. Why is not there any kind of punishment for murder? Why is not there a jail sentence? Is it implied that MD wants to propagate murder and encourage the idea? Or is it some kind of sadistic fun / dumb social experiment? There is a murder expert in MD for hire. And it is a role. There are murder weapons. I want to ask MD community if you think this is justified. If murder without punishment is a thing to be taken so lightly. I propose a jail tenure for 1 month for the first murder committed followed by an increment of 1 mon…

Azull posted something regarding TCs in a thread and starting from there we had a little brainstorming regarding how this should function. I'll post below the few ideas that we came up so we can discuss them and hopefully we'll have a decent plan of functioning that we can present to the council. -only the 4 main lands would be able to participate because the rest have too few people and will not be able to defend their land. However, a system of mercenaries can be set so players that want to participate can enlist (this way everybody that wants, can have a bit of fun) -mp3s will not be allowed to participate because of the multiple abuses that can be done via new a…

There are too few of us, or at the very least, most of us are not doing anything particular. Let's build something happenings will revolve around. Torch competition with rewards system implemented (and not for them to stay on hold for years like the last time!) and simple mechanism for everyone to be able to give their part is one of the answers. It will stimulate mainland activity, people will start working together and will appreciate their lands more, this all stimulates realm's life itself. Perhaps Torch is not a fitting manifestation for the realm to revolve around in Mur's head, but we have been passive for several years. Let's change that. Who's with …

Is anyone familiar with gateway computers? I was using mine today, and I set it down so I could nap. I get up a couple hours later, and try opening it back up. I hit the power button, and a blue light flashes on the on button, and on the icon with a lightbulb. I tried holding down the on button to drain the battery, because plugging in my charger doesnt work- nothing lights up. But even as I tried draining it twice by holding down each time for fifteen+ seconds, it still blinks at me. Can anyone help me? Its practically brand new and I used it probably less than ten times so I dont understand why it is having this problem.

I wan to know why this is still on the forum. I reported it 2 times in 2 different occasions. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13740-resource-depletion-for-or-against/#entry132678 I dare anyone to answer that this is not an insult.

Hello. How are you? I am fine, but excruciatingly busy. But thanks for asking. I planned on doing another festival in about.. 1 week ago. But real life makes it so that even though I am in college, I haven't had an actual vacation in approximately 25 months. But, I can do stuff in the first week of September. So I will (Festival starts on Tuesday the 3rd, ends on Sunday the 8th of September.. Because I have to train people on Monday, that's why). No manager, that will have to wait for next year. Seeing as how I am busy until end of next week (WHEN I AM FINALLY FREE ROOAAOAOAOAOAAOARGH). I will do the stuff such as accepting nominations for legends, for next w…

For a long time, we have searched for a new mod to refresh our team, and are proud to announce that Shemhazaj has volunteered to do that job :) Many thanks to you, and best of luck for the job :D On another note, there might be the need for more new mods, so if you feel up to the task, hit me with a PM about it :) Congrats Shem! ^_^

Will there be a feature later implemented as part of AUTUMN2050 that makes it easier to have the new AUTUMN2050 features be parts of quest? It seems like the only way to have them part of quests is get Mur or Chew to add them. Might there possibly be a "Questmaster" who is tasked with running around and putting pickables and other things in?

This is the thread for those applying to be a member of the public council. [log='Announcement']Ann. 2703 - [2013-08-09 22:23:47 - Stage 12] Public Council There is going to be a new experiment lead by myself, Chewett. I will be forming a public council that will act like the MD council, making decisions and directing coding work as they see fit. There will be a number of stipulations on their work, and some of the items they are informed of will be asked to be kept private. I will give a slice of my coding time entirely to them to perform any code or administrative changes to the game. They will have the power to ask any questions or work of me, however some questi…

A number of questions iv been asked ingame, will keep adding: squirbo: how often will council plan to meet? Or is it a -post-in-forums-whenever kind of setup? Chewett: Its a "decide what you want to do"

What are some specific in-realm goals of yours, things you'd like to make happen but for whatever reason haven't taken shape yet in-game? Big or small, personal or alliance/land-centered or cubal. Preferably more concrete (not necessarily this concrete, though they certainly could be) than abstract—things you could see rather than just feel. The question is meant as akin to a cross between this topic and this one: MD-based like Chew's, but—unlike that topic, which ended up with mostly whole-game suggestions that will take significant time and effort to balance—things here are meant to be at least loosely based on a specific person or group ("based on" ≠ "limited t…

I've talked to Chewett and apparently the following reputation options are possible: • 'Like' system—what we currently have. You can now view who likes what posts, by the way; thanks Chew! • Positive and negative, transparent rep • Positive only, transparent rep—almost the same as the like system, but you have to click to view who liked what • Negative only, transparent rep • Positive and negative, opaque—what we used to have • Positive only, opaque • Negative only, opaque • No reputation system at all—means what it sounds like. Transparent means you can see how people have voted on posts; opaque means you …

Allowing a player with creatures to fight the Land Guardian at Path of Loneliness during the tutorial and allowing them to exit the tutorial from there (if they get creatures) and go through storymode while in free roam mode would make advancing mindpower levels much less painful. A new mp3 wouldn't be able to do this because they don''t have any creatures and would be forced to fight the shades and go through storymode. edit: if a mod/admin is able to rename the topic please fix the typo in the name
