Hello - My recently acquired avatar has gone missing in the last day or two. I didn't try to change anything, it's just gone. It was a dragon reared up on it's hind legs (hence the dragon-related mood panel postings...). I don't have the ID handy but I believe the author was Sir Kamil. Please let me know if anyone knows how I can recover it. - Phinneas

So, a while back Mur announced this: [quote]Ann. 621 - [2008-12-28 18:16:52 - Alpha 8] Custom personal page layouts are now supported. To customize your personal page you need to upload a file names homepage.tpl in your personal files. To do so, open any document you have, edit it, and try to set a link on any word in it. Once the link settings dialog appears, click to upload a file (you can remove the link after). Once the homepage.tpl file is found in your personal folder, the player homepage will load that layout instead of the default one. Inside the template page you can use these tags to display predefined content sections anywere you like: [toplinks],[adepts],[e…

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]There used to be a thread that was really old. It was started by Mur and mentioned the lake in the north was White Lake and the lake in the north west was Green Lake. It also mentioned Chaos woods. Is it gone with the update?[/font][/color]

Im on holiday this week, Might not answer questions or reply to you on the forum. Any forum changes will be left until when i get back. Mods can be contacted to ask anything that they can deal with (such as closing topics and such), But if the matter involved is secretive in nature (forum alts, forum changes) you should send me a pm and wait til i return or reply.

So, I need to clarify something about this new Item Alt Abuse rule. [quote] [color="#cccccc"]Ann. 1999 - [2011-08-23 06:25:02 - Stage 11][/color] [b]No more item transfers between potential alts[/b] Items can no longer be transfered between what MD considers to be "alts". I say it this way because not all accounts restricted by the altchecker are alts, some are different people accessing md from same network, others are accounts "borrowed" for active days keeping to friends (md tags them as alts then) others are not even that. This might be damaging for people that live in same place and can no longer exchange items in md, but the benefits of restricting alts from i…

Hello all - In light of my recent misadventures with the Avatar shop, I've decided to stretch my lacking art skills into an attempt at drawing my own... And here's the result! The artwork is all mine. I'm not confident the concept is entirely original, however (I've got a niggling twitch at the back of my mind that I've seen something similar on MD). Please comment on both aspects if you will. (The .jpgs would show inline while editing, but I couldn't post for some reason, so I had to add them as attachments). dragon.jpg is a larger version, avatar.jpg is at 100x160. I'm thinking too much may be lost at that size... Thoughts, criticism, input all welcome! …

Last year Indyra suggested the idea of a festival of war. I saw its brilliance and organized the first edition of the festival with helpers. It had trivia, war games, war stories as well as a day devoted to the legends of the game. It had a great turnout, lots of attention, it was a great learning experience (coughclichecough), the prizes were really good and it had gathered a lot of positive attention. I feel like organizing another one at roughly the same date (which roughly equals when I no longer have exams, just like last year ) I'm going to change the wargame, or maybe just remove it completely (it was the only thing I didn't like about the festival from las…

Good Night for all, After the realease of new rule of upgrade based on MP level , i have some friend like many people here that stopped play MD for some changes tha they dont liked .... Have some other topics that talk about ..... One topic say to pay 30 silvers for be Mp 6 for some time etc.... same Mp-6 are not agreeing with it cause of noble perpuse that consist in get MP-6, lot of workk that they expent for have their adept.....etc...... Why not continue with this kind of upgrade based on MP upgrade , but giving alternative , like : training a creature until the costs for upgrade was reached minus MP, paying one credit for upgrade the creature that already r…

Some of you may remember me asking for a show of response from anyone interested in being a forum mod. This was to gauge if there was anyone who would be a good replacement if anyone were to leave or other such event. Many of the people who applied did so becuase they "would help if help was needed" which is wonderful, however a little more dedication is needed (someone did quite honestly say "they wanted spells in MD, which is rather... at odds to what it is). But one person has been bothering me for a while, applying and re applying commenting that i hadnt "said anything" about their application. And however much he applied at that time we didnt need another mod. Ho…

I did read this announcement: [quote] [color="#CCCCCC"]Ann. 1984 - [2011-08-16 07:12:27 - Stage 10][/color] Land leaders are requested not to interfere with the shared tools by placing any land laws to govern their use. The tools are meant to be grabbed by anyone regardless of land and further changes to the way they will be available are still pending. It is too soon to have any land specific regulations regarding shared tools. [/quote] But I do have a question anyway. Since there will be shared tools, like wood-chopping ones are available at the moment, herb basket too (not sure is anything else ready in Ravenhold yet). Is there a minimum of resources that shou…

This topic is just to get community input and see if anyone would actually like to see this event run ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING CAN BE CHANGED! I would love some better weapon suggestions Disclaimer: The suspects are just people that everyone recognizes for right now, they can be easily changed. Second Disclaimer: It's late for me, and I'm probably not going to explain this well. Also, this is my first attempt at doing anything, so we'll see how this turns out. I've been thinking up a way for everyone to play a game of mutated Clue up in the MDA lands. Here's what I've got so far. Set up: Oh noes! Brulant was happily wandering through the MDA lands when he was …

We are a relatively small community, and we all like secretly planning our events and such. So I suggest we start using what we have at our disposal, The Calendar! quite simply iv cleaned it up to remove the 5 million birthdays (which should still show at the bottom on the day i think) and changed it so there is just one calendar now. This makes it much easier to view and see events. I have added Tranquility Days as a recurring event so that they are visible. I ask you all to add any events you are planning, or have planned. This means that you can "reserve" that day, or at least have it open so everyone knows you are doing something on that day. It doesn't mean anyon…

This morning I discovered that the avatar I'm currently using was not an original one. [b]ID: [/b]589 [b]Author: [/b]Lord Beta Wolfeyes (see attached image) Below, the url of the original one: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/029/8/0/Devil_in_a_suit_by_staino.jpg I sent an e-mail to contact@magicduel.com and returned the avatar to the shop. lashtal

I had a conversation today with someone who asked me why I don't use alts to help collect resource orders. Personally, I find the idea unappealing because it takes something away from my role and gameplay. But, to be fair, I am going to try an experiment with resources and alts just to see if it helps. Of course, this issue is coming to light because of the introduction of the cauldron and recipes. Lumber and branches and sawdust have been available for almost a year but now, all of a sudden,lots of people want lots of resources. There are some who are willing to sell any resources at a higher price than the guilds because they have them and the guilds are swamped …

I realised that just me thinking of all implications of somethins is not enough (lol), sometimes i need to share it for the others to understand it right. You were used with wishpoints as highly valuable, unachievable rewards. I say unachievable because lets be real about it, there were achievable by a low number elite only. " My unannounced plans " - add a buffer of about 10 wishpoints to be distributed without a real merit or CHEATABLE. - add a buffer of similar number of wishes in the wish shop to dilute the offer there and keep real powerfull wishes for deeper levels. these two balance eachother and will make wishpoints taste known to new and old player equ…

Is it alt abuse - a punishable offense - to create an item using WP from an alt and then give that same item to main character? I am asking because obviously because of active-day WPs there are now lots of item requests going to Crafters, some from alts requesting items which would be created specifically for their main. I would prefer to know what rules, if any, this would violate - instead of opinions. If it is not clear, then please open this up for discussion of opinions. [sup][edit - Paste from Rules and Restrictions][/sup] [quote][list] [*]You can have multiple accounts, to try out story, to experince new ways of play etc ..., however if you are detecte…

I've noticed that several WPs were given for this quest. I would like to READ the stories the winners submitted and also the stories other players sent. No need to ask why. You all know why. Btw: the sooner the better because the later you post them the more suspicious I will be that you invented it now!

I want sasha lilias to be banned for at least 1 month and also her WPs to be removed. Also, what she has done needs to be un-done. Why? Cause of this: [attachment=3098:sasha_idiot.png] This is what the wish says: [b]Change location subtitle[/b] Allows you to change a subtitle on a given location. The new title will remain forever untill someone else changes it and for at least 4 days. With this you can mark locations to support your role, such as pubs, markets, themed gathering places, mark historic locations to remember an important event for all future players, organise group activities, support role play situations, etc.[col…

The forum will be upgraded to a new greater version. This is a big change and therefore may cause some problems, bugs or issues. During an upgrade, it will give lots of errors, and possibly not be avalible during the upgrade. If the forum is down for longer than an hour, please email me at [council] by replacing contact with Chewett. The time-frame for the upgrade is unknown since there are a lot of requests for this new upgrade. I shall post any updates regarding this here.

I want to complain about alts gaining wishpoints for active days. It's just highly abusable. [color=#A52A2A][b]I agree that mains should be rewarded somehow for their activity on the game, but not the alternate accounts.[/b][/color] [color=#FF0000]First:[/color] This will lead to severe abuse of MD Mechanics. Alts helping mains and mains helping alts. [quote] [b]Exchanging WishPoints between you. WP should be rewarded only for good reasons.[/quote][/b] That rule will be broken sooner or later. [b][quote] You can have multiple accounts, to try out story, to experience new ways of play etc ..., however if you are detected that you are using them just to help one o…

So... Considering there is more of you than there is me, I decided to make a forum topic about this. Especially since the newer guilds seem to be gaining more people, and.. well. It's hard to keep up. Basically: Mur would like ALL guilds and their land Kings/Queens from hence forth to keep a private list of all GUILD items [not personal] with their IDs. This means, items like water buckets, axes, stone detecting devices, heat jars, etc. What I need from you guys, is to make a list. I need this from EVERY guild member. Unless the guild leader already has a list of who has what, then please, send it to me. But anywho. The list needs to have item ID, who currently ha…

First off, no, i will not tell you how to cast it, but everyone can, and i will delete or remove anything saying how to cast the silence spell. Lately there has been far too much abuse of this spell, and that is to stop. The intent of the spell is to silence players who are swearing/spamming/advertising other games so that they can't do it anymore, the spell is ONLY to be cast if there is NOBODY else with given abilities to deal with the matter. Such people would be LHO's or RPC's generally. And since there is usually one of those around, there isnt usually a need to ever cast the spell. Henceforth we will be employing a line of punishment for players that abuse thi…

Just a passing thought, really. I would like to go for mp6 HOWEVER... -If you decide to become my adept, you must NOT leave your current protector to be with me. You will stay with Burns, Amoran, Indyra or whomever is mp6 currently. It is not fair to them to leave them just to be with me. -I take precious care of my Adepts, but also will hold responsibility for you.If you mess up, you'll get an angry Curi. Please keep in mind that I am not expecting this at any time soon. I would like to gather adepts as they come to me, and if some how I become mp6, then that will be a blessing. Thank you.

Western Union Tombola: All credit purchases , payed by WU, from start of this year for the next several month will be considered tickets for this tombola. This form of payment is even less used than PBC. There were just a couple of such credit purchases ever. Other similar methods such as moneygramm will count on this too, but first ASK if they do to be sure. New rule: only amount allowed for a ticket on this particular tombola is $100.00 , larger payments will count as more tickets based on amount. Large discounts that i hope they cover the WU tax on your side. ONLY DIRECT PAYMENTS TO ME ARE CONSIDERED VALID, not the PBC WU option. For details you …

So, apparently the recent deaths turned MD into a bunch of hysterical people. Time to destroy some myths and share some ideas. There is a kill spell. Nobody has it. Except the person who has the Stone Dagger. The Stone Dagger is an item that can kill a person. However it has a really long cooldown.This means that the kings+Z were NOT ALL killed with that dagger. IMO Z was killed just to create confusion and mass hysteria. It fits too well. Me and Awi are NOT next to die. Why? Because of the above reason for Z's murder. I suggest you concentrate on resurrecting the kings. Everything else is just...a jest.
