Hello all, it has recently come to my attention that there has been a number of afflictions affecting those who reside on GG mountain. I have quarantined those affected individuals in their houses, and am not letting anyone see them for fear of contamination... I am currently trying to assemble 5-10 individuals to band together to help me get information on those affected by other inhabitants and visitors to GG that may know about these individuals. Any who are interested are asked to please donate 3 silver so i may help find a cure for those affected once their curses are identified. Of course, should i find your work satisfactory your reward for helping may make this …

Hello everybody. With the recent announcement of the Festival of Pain, Akasha and I were talking, and she asked the question, "Maybe confessing will help?" So in that vein, I propose that we all confess our sins so that the punishment will be less severe. I, as the one bringing up the topic, will of course go first. 1. I admit, I have not spent as much in the Paper Cabin as I would have liked. 2. I have used mp2s to gain stats and wins when I was severely out of balance. 3. I talked about Quests, and asked some people the questions that were posed to me, in hopes that they could help. 4. I have used a number of bugs out of laziness(mostly having to do…

So... [quote]Last minute update Players with over 100 active days and more than 1 drachorn will lose from now one 1 active day for each fight against a ritual with at least one aramor. Beware, you could get negative active days this way and that would mean your account will get unregistered and you will have to start allover again.[/quote] Some questions and topic for discussion: 1. More than 1 drach. Does this refer to GG drachs only, or all kinds of drachs? (rusty, rein, wind) 2. Aramors. Does this refer to normal aramors only, or also imperials? 3. Does this refer to any fight (with/without drachs in it) against aramor rituals, or only (any number of)drachs vs a…

The front page's new addition, while informative, is, I believe, to be more of an eyesore than a way to attract more players. The original page showed what new players wanted to know about a game. The interface, the features, and what it is about. Well, before the new addition, the Interface, and Features were the main focus. With a small, but healthy, portion of the About. Now, it has become more About than anything else. For example, think of the front page as a human. We need Meat, Grains, and Vegetables to survive. We had the Meat and Grains in good supply, with small servings of Veggies. A healthy diet in other words. Now, the front page has become more o…

This is entirely my fault. I was performing a mysql/apache/php upgrade on my own, assuming it will work and it obviously didnt. I don't think the damage is to big, but since the situation with the hosting is kind of tensed right now, i dont expect they will see it that way. Anyway, data is safe, just sites are down. Weird thing is that all services are running fine. I suspect that it is a dns issue and i should have started some kind of service i never heard of. Good thing forum is separated. Now i shall go and slowly suicide fearing the negative response from hosting. I am way to tired to wait for a reply now, they will probably do so tomorow anyway (omfg its su…

Okie It's 5:30 in the morning here I've yet to sleep and I've been up Reading different topics in this forum and trying to find portals in GoE. I have been reading about quests all the ups and downs complaints and defenses of them and the rewards given... so heres my question I'm an mp3 who just started a few days ago I'd say i've gotten pretty far with the help of my mentor and some other awesome people. I've also been looking at the different lands to join the rulers and such and was wondering if coming up with a quest for mp4s to learn more about The different lands they can join. (I'd do it for mp3s but since i cant even reach loreroot yet i dunno how many of the…

This is a continuation of the MD is dead topic so that it can remain on topic. MD is Boring. Others think it, I said it. Now lets look at the biggest problem with why MD is now Boring. First: GGG The GGG is ruining MD. People sit there all day long and farm 0 damage wins. Wins are supposed won. Not given. Stats are not to be given so freely either. After dst's post stating what is really wrong with MD, it opened my eyes. I have come to realise that the GGG is bad for our community. So I ask, is it a good idea to get rid of the GGG in order to bring back the original style of training by attacking others with real rituals? If you disagree, or agree, please…

OK i may have put this in the wrong section but i don't know But i am a bit annoyed at the moment so please forgive me on this Now i dont care what rules the kingship use to reward WP's or how the WP's must be awarded I dont make any such rules myself but we all have our was of doing things. So yeah i was a bit annoyed when i have people coming to me to resolve the issue as those rules were not mentioned in the quest. SO i am making this topic to point out that if you are given the WP codes from a kingship person and have agreed to the terms the stick to them. If you don't like it don't accept the WP codes. This issue can also be resolve by making sure you …

[quote][color="#cccccc"][2010-03-25 02:16:49 - Alpha 9][/color] The reviews page is realy ancient. (http://magicduel.com/index.php?pag=reviews) I would like to update it with new reviews. If you wish to share your opinion about MD in a nice intelligible comment, please post it on the forum in a dedicated topic and i will collect them from there and display some on the site. Thank you.[/quote] I have played quite a few games, but none has kept me so deeply enthralled as Magicduel. It tests your intelligence and everything you think you know about what's going on. The Live Help system is a really useful feature as it means that you're rarely stuck for very long if you …

Ok I have already found a problem with non-land players having only 90 action points. Simply the ability to get into locations with 100AP requires you to have a land. For example I would have to be part of Marnidbell. I understand the incentive is to increase the incentive to join a land more so then before but complete restriction of certain areas which where not restricted before is not an effective method. If things stay like this I can expect a large amount of people to disappear by the end of next month without fail. You cant simply change one thing and expect to get away with it. When you change something everything else has to change with it.

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…
