Short attack cooldown(8mins) and less protection (save for 8mins against same player) + good for training because only 8mins wait for another attack + protection might not be needed because of sanctuaries or ggg for example - little protection in head contest for example, very vulnerable at public events outside of sanctuaries because u can get attacked all 8 mins by the same player Long attack cooldown(25mins) and high protection (save for 25mins against same player) + hight protection in head contest, rather save at public events outside of sanctuaries because u can get attacked all 25mins only by the same player + training isnt really resourceful with token arou…

[quote]aaront222 Dumb Stupid Turd? Aaront222- TEAM BRIT!!! Aaront222- Awesome[/quote] This, obviously, is in dst's log. I noticed it on the Public Logs today, but said nothing as I was sure someone else would notice it and say something/have it removed. Older players may be more mature, but they are not necessarily immune to ridiculous stuff like this... this is not even a criticism. It's just offensive. I have seen this player push the boundaries of "tolerable" until now, but in my opinion this PL entry goes over the line.

A lot of quests suddenly seem to have a big restriction, like: Be a citizen of land X and you can win a WP! I rarely see any WP quests which don't include any kind of restriction like that. So why don't you just go ahead and close border, so everyone lives within isolated countries? I don't like the way the rewarding went, and so I have a proposition. The logs of WP should show that as well, that many WP only go to people in the same land, and not to everyone else anymore like they used to. Each of your quests usually has a point reward system, or a set number of clickies. Now my suggestion is: The ones belong to the land whose king is donating the WP get a chance …

For as long as I can remember, dst has been just as much a nuisance to the general MD public as certain other individuals. The names Death Ray, and redneck come to mind. She may not be a nuisance in the same way, but she is still a nuisance none the less. I use the word nuisance as a kind substitute for other words which could be applied. I would like to bring to light her constant hunting of "prey". Those she considers weak, stupid, or different. For no other apparent reason other than for her own self satisfaction that she is better than others. Whether or not she is, is up for debate. Not only does she hunt these "prey" she chomps down on their hind quarters until th…

there is a low amount of data out there in the game that player can find about history of this realm, about the people who did such and such things except the Adventure log that is pretty much sticking to its own story. It's been a long time since I originally planned to write History of Loreroot, but it wasn't up till now that I actually started writing. Waiting for so long to start lead me to the conclusion that this won't be regular "summarizing up" post, but extensive research about whole of its history till the present day (the important facts). New generations of Lorerootians would surely love this, (even I want to know some things I didn't heard much about before…

Well i get into work today to find messages complaining again about RP issues. I have to admit i was very angry to find out what had happened. So i decided i would wait a few hours and see what may be done IF anything. Since i gave myself the time to think and to work out a few things i have now decided to post a topic. First of all THIS is NOT an attack on any one person or group of people. I am going to do my best not to point the finger or point the blame. I will say first that it really annoys me when things like this happen. As MD is suppose to be a Multiplayer online role playing Game. Correct me if i am wrong in this but that means people with use RP …

Ok, I am sick of this:there is a player that never misses one chance of insulting me. I doubt anything will be done but I will use this topic to post print screens or logs of that player insulting me. [attachment=1511:Czez_insulting.jpg] [attachment=1530:Insults.jpg] I have also some logs but I cannot post them. Not yet at least. One of the mods, please close the topic. In case someone feels the need to comment that someone can open a new thread. Thanks.

So way back in December I got into a conversation with Aelis. We spoke about how December was so pleasant, because everyone was giving and receiving with joy. The question was then posed, "How could we make this happen at a random time in a random month?" So we decided on a date (today) that we would start a random game. The rules are as follows: 1. If you receive a present, then it is your turn to give something to someone else. 2. Post what and to whom you give your present right here. 3. Try and be generous! Aelis and I will both be started threads. You can start any threads you like as well. The first thread is: Reindrach to Sparrhawk. (if you w…

Ok I have bit my tongue long enough. At first it was just stupid watching him acquire all of these raw mats. Now it has come to where he is hording usable items (can of beer, popcorn). What just so he can be top on the item owners list? I find it insulting that (most likely someones alt) is hording such things. I have rarely, and I'm sure many have never, seen him online or even playing the game. *edited after views have been added* OK sure he aquired them fair and square. Is that any less of a reason to horde new usable items? I don't see how that has much of a bearing on being a "merchant type" though usually merchants are an active and helpful part of the c…

Debates have always been a part of MD and I thought it was once again time to talk about argumentation. Suppose you have two people (or groups of people) A and B who are each supporting one thesis. In the following examples, who do you think is 'winning', if any? 1. A gives 1 argument and B does nothing. 2. A gives 2 arguments and B gives 1. 3. A gives 2 arguments and B refutes one. 4. A gives 2 arguments and B refutes both. 5. A gives 2 arguments and B refutes both and gives 1 argument of his own. Feel free to ponder why exactly I'm asking this.

I had thought this was taken care of, but apparently it was not. I got online this morning to realize that Shoeps has posted yet another inappropriate log in someone's PL. This is by all means harassment, a player should have the right to wander through game without this kind of thing happening again and again. Can someone ACTUALLY do something about this [i]please?[/i]

Situation: i messed it, nothing else to say, ..big time. Update... i figured out that a full restore on that domain should make things as the were yesterday and i can retry the upgrade this time _READING_ the instructions.I emailed hosting for a recent backup, I hope they have it (they should). I will keep you informed on the way.

Ok, due to a lot of things happening lately I have a proposal. I've been thinking of starting a shop/merchant service. Basically, I am asking you to sell or give me items. In return I will sell these items on to people for item creation or quest purposes. The idea is to do it for nominal fees and to try to keep things reasonably affordable. I'll run it on a non-profit basis, although there will be profits involved. Confused? Well, what I mean is this. Say you sell me something for 3 silver. I will sell it on for 4 or 5 say. I will then use the profits to keep towards being able to purchase further items. I will publish a list of items, cost and subsequent sale prices. …

So, I guess the time has come to start a poll on one of the most game-breaking issues we're facing right now: how boost auras work. Right now, auras work multiplicatively, so that a 50% damage boost aura will give 1.5 times base damage, two 50% damage boost aura will give 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 times base damage, and so on. With the amount of boost that is given by BPs and rusties (and probably reins), damage can go up to astronomical amount which leads to a current situation where it's almost impossible to defend against it for even one round. What I am proposing is simple, and in my non-experienced opinion, would not be that hard to code. Change the way %boosts (of any kin…

I'm coming to the USA for a few weeks (NASA-organized project so that means no visitors, no internet) and i just wanted to ask for a pretty simple thing. When the LR items are launched, i would like to ask the players that get "Pendant of The Oracle" or/and "Obsidian orbs" to keep them for THEMSELVES until i return. In case you see a "newb" with these items, please buy them from the newb, i will give back the price you paid(i need proof of how much you paid, a screenie and a "declaration" from some witnesses, so be prepared)+ a little bonus for retrieving the items. I will give substantial rewards to anyone that gets me these two items. (assuming they are actually laun…

Something very (can't find the right term) just happened to me when I idled at the GGG last night. I gained 140k exp, and got capped, but only my def crit (an elemental1) got experience, and only halt of the personal exp I gained. I doubt that this happened by accident, since that is an outrageous amount. I can only conclude that someone don't like what I'm doing, because I do appear as a MP3 stat grinder. FYI, I'm simply training an agien. That is my dream. Because, as I said before, stat grinding isn't worth it. Damn, this is so frustrating.. Can something be done in regards to this? I can't name the culprit because my log is flooded with losses. Any form of he…

hihi *chuckles* i know i am gona get the lot of you all over me for this one but it is just my idea if we play more in the game and spend less time in this forum then *chuckles* i think things will be more fun So tell me if this is a good idea ore a bad one and if it is time to go into hiding *laughs*

A player trying to revive MD is like trying to revive a person who is drowning by throwing a bucket of water at their face. EDIT: To expand on that, I didn't mean players shouldn't try to make the game more fun. I simply meant that MD wouldn't be MD without Mur, and only Mur could "revive" the game.

I have heard people talk about the population decrease in MD. I do not think that it is a problem of people joining MD but a matter of people leaving MD. I wish to discus why you all think people are leaving MD, how to make some changes in MD to keep people around, and perhaps talk about what made MD something that you liked in the beginning. I know that some people may be leaving because of rl issues and I have a few issues of my own that makes it where I am not able to play MD as much as I would want. I wish to know what about MD makes it where they do not wish to play or want to leave. I do not like the direction that MD is going and I wish to try and change tha…

I've noticed recently that there are a couple of members that are hoarding creation items and not even using them. They simply sit on the account of said person like a trophy. Mind you not all items need to be used but... a few people seem to have oodles and oodles of items that could be handy to use in the item creation process but they are unwilling to sell or use any of them because they are...trophies? I guess that's the best way to put it. Item hoarding to sit at the top of the 'Item owners' list. Anything that can be done about this? I'm just curious, I have a couple of items that I'd like to make for some quests that require the use of steel or metal for ins…

After much debate on the item owners topic it seems that people think others are hoarding the items to be on the item owners list. And as the only Hoarder who spoke, IAB said that he keeps it not for the list, So surely they wont mind if it will be removed It will mean that people wont just get items so they can appear on the list. What do you guys think? Im not entirely sure this will fix any problems, but i am merely wondering if people think it should be removed to aid the problem.

Recent events in MD have left me feeling quite hurt, ashamed and to be honest with a complete sense of despair. I am going to ask you to do something for a moment if you will. I am going to ask you to take off your emotional response hat for a few moments and your ’member of (insert land name here)’ hat too. So let’s start at the beginning shall we? A while back there was a torch competition. I urged people in Loreroot to participate on the basis that, well to be quite honest, it seemed to be fizzling out and I thought it would be a good way to get people motivated and interested. And hey, it might have brought some reward for Loreroot, so sue me. I fully expected tha…

May first of last year MD had its first item and slave auction which ended up being a huge success. I would like to hold another one this year as well. You must submit YOUR SELF as a voulenteer for the slave trade to be auctioned off and you must voulenteer YOUR OWN items that you own. more details will be givin out tothe voulenteers upon submitting themselves for this. Also for those that were not around last year there will also be awards givin out. If you are interested in voulenteering for this auction on May first please PM me through the forums or in game with details on what you are willing to submit wether if be yourself for the slave auction or your items for t…

The PL entry in the attached screen-crop is totally unacceptable behavior from a guy who really knows better. This is in-game harassment about something which is, at best, a RL issue related to the game only by the fact that the two people involved both play it. I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong forum; feel free to move it or do whatever you need to do. I just really, really wanted to call this to the attention of at least one moderator.

If you have ever been to the temple hall it is time to take a second look and stay tuned. In the eastern lands the is a location as follows.: Territory: Lands Of The East Coord: 7_templehall_1. It used to be a lot easier to get there but things are getting difficult as to enter the temple from the entrance takes a grand total of 200 AP 100AP to walk up what is a seemingly small staircase and another 100AP to open what seems like well oiled though heavy double doors. Obviously something is going to change and the community members that have entered say the same. It seems like alot of AP to get into a location with no clickables and nothing to interact with and find …
