here are my plans for recipes for a next depth of items. The 'ingredients' are based on the most abundant items in the realm, sign that their use is either missing or not balanced. Creating these items will consume existing items, and create more complex and functional items, or precursors to even more complex items. I hope to be able to slowly create a path from resource, to more advanced items, and the most advanced items to be consumables requiring several levels of processing, with limited use but extreme power. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Functionality and actual mixing amounts are still open to debate. IMPORTANT: To avoid getting stuck in where to place the combiners and mixers for these items, i decided to create a central location for all this mixing. I don't have a place set yet, suggestions are welcome. Basically all mixing of next depth item such as these, will be do-able in one place. The next level after this (complexity 6-7), will be done in an other place, not the same. ==== COMPLEXITY LEVEL: 5-6 ===== Arcane Glass Ingredients: Raw Glass + Reality Shards + Crystal Description: By infusing raw glass with the mysterious properties of Reality Shards and finishing it with a crystalline sheen, you create a highly reflective, semi-sentient glass that warps light and confuses onlookers.

the wires of Eggdar... current abilities, online player awareness, scene vision. Currently suitable for community events, organizing riddles, some quests. It is not aware of md history, or any secrets. It can not move..yet.. It does have memory, so be careful what you test on it, it might remember you in unfavorable ways... consider one day you might need to pass it during a quest or something ..play nice with Eggy

They added a black cat and Handy Pockets got one

Could work kind of how things work for the player when they are a citizen of a land, like take the land bonus and apply that to your mountable creature. Or build up heat to use to ride the mounted creature

It sounds like a cool idea. Could also be used to grant access to certain locations or mechanics, such as heat veins.

I personally like the idea and think it could help boost some activity , an optional extra thing for people to do that requires you to take care of the pet. They could grow with age. Personally I'd like a cat or a parrot. Or maybe these should be unique MD pets not found in RL.

Basically quitting. I gave all my items out. As many already know thanks to ledah yes I am blackshade. I tried to rebuild into a new and more liked character. An it did well for a while until ledah had decided to kill me at every mp stage and I'm sure had dst do her alt check on me. It was obvious. However I was inactive for so long this year on this account as I lost a lot this year. I lost my brother and mother in a car accident, and just recently not many months ago the woman I am with had a miscarriage. I came back to try and have an escape and maybe get my mind off things but even on Xmas day and not talking to ledah he still kills me out of spite, for the fun of it cause he knows I am blackshade. Players like ledah and dst are the sole reasons so many quit playing other than just real life. Players such as them will also end up being the downfall of MD. To much power and no one can stop them or touch them. Kill items need a heavy re-evaluation as with the population less than what I believe is 10 players now, what's even left of MD anymore? So many new features and everything, while some are nice and would had been more nice if a bigger population there's basically no need for anything new except to appease chew and the demon themselves and what very very very little players bother to stick around. After my killing on Christmas I am completely done playing. I won't be buying items and won't be associating with basically any one or even leaving the scene I am in. I have locked myself in my scene and here I will stay and continue to slowly watch MD die. Aia I greatly appreciate the revive and I'm sorry you wasted a coin on me for such. Ledah, I really really REALLY hope one day while your in the east that you click on something Mur created and it takes every single item and creature you have. I know there used to be such clickies and I really hope you click one. You are highly undeserving of the power you have but your lucky chew favors you. While he may deny it, the population knows he does favor you, an that and the low population seems to be the only reasons your abuse and abusive power goes unlooked. To everyone else I enjoyed playing. I enjoyed our quests and even enjoyed the very small few whom we became friends in real life. I'm sorry to leave. And those that left too I'm sorry for that also as I know why you/they left. I do hope one day life comes back to MD but I unfortunately don't ever see the population growing again due to such players I mentioned above. So good luck all. If ever wanting to talk in game come find me or send a message. I'll be on once a day I guess out of hope. But even in that hope I'm not playing anymore. Projects now just go unfinished an or forgotten about and I just can't keep watching something I loved true and dear keep dying while the reasons go unpunished. Fairwell all. Good luck MD

I'm thinking an entirely new country (as in factions in Md), full of colors and forest people. The navigation screens would be easy enough to draw... even if not, placeholders can be placed... i'm not saying make it something like one of those cheap (and strange) games with a jpg on every step.. just.. thinking adding some color to md.. Theme can be blueberries (and red) every where and the dead rising.. I nominate Lazarus and Aia as the leaders.. A new land would bring energy into game.. I can do the research/story if needed (for free). This new land can also + send new events to what is happening panel.. (ie dead is rising, their heart is heavy), + have new resources, mushroom/blueberries + have new everything.. if proper.. They must be a breakaway section of Necrovion.. i think. What do you say ? Some ideas to run through : Dead gates : (as entrance) You sort of feel an undeniable pull, despite being fully aware there is only a dead end, and you'll be harmed Blueberry Road A busy road, that sees a lot of traffic. There are a lot of red and blue fruits hanging from the heavy branches.. You can't see the end of the blueberry forests.. Corn Maze Statue (as altar) Beyond the end of the maze (perhaps how the geographically placed as well), you see an altar of a rat among bunch of scattered and old statues. There are some decorations on the wall, as you see start to see the environment change from maze like to a proper city Un dead Acorns (The sanctuary/base or maybe Shop, or Creature recruit), three areas perhaps There is a hint of spell of constructs on the air, which is strange, since you'd think it'd be shades and trees. This is an obscure and rare to place to encounter away from the main lands. You see some fighters and some magic duels..

It's my B-Day! Happy 40TH to me!!

check the screenshot, its so funny.. It was supposed to know just what was written in the book (both!) and yet it gives a nice answer about something unrelated..that fits because obviously both the book and md have a coherent thought behind them, that fit in certain aspects. Let me know what you think

Fyrd Argentus, the pickle meister and quest creator extraordinaire A beloved player among the community and will be missed. This is a small recording of his memorial. Any may say a few more words here if they wish. To start off I'd like to say I did not get a chance to meet this player. However I have been looking around the realm and have noticed a lot of things he has done. I have tried a quest of his also I found in my homeland. I think Fyrd was a very brilliant player from the stuff I have read and tried of his. Personally I wish I could have met him. Now I'll end here for you to read words said during his memorial.... : Chewett bows Chewett: Many of us are heading to Creative Creatives ❤️ Sunfire: you will be missed, old friend and mentor : Mallos throws the dice and gets 3 jakubhi: I miss you Fyrd Death Ray: I don't even know what to say, for the last 15 or so year's... we meet here on MD. And created a friendship and bond. Chewett: Things change, things don't, but our friends are still here Death Ray: One of very few long lasting friendships to be immortalized here in MD..... jakubhi: I still remember the hangman word games he used to organise jakubhi: I liked them Invie: Goodbye, Pickle Meister. Aksel: He really put in the effort into MD, handheld me around in early days and was always there to help and make new content. Was expecting him to show up any time now, quite sad Chewett: He inspired questions, ideas, quests, and many other things lashtal: His generosity was sincere, detached. He would spend days just to help someone run a quest. I was in debt back then and I will forever be. lashtal: Thank you Fyrd. jakubhi: gives everyone a hug* This is not a good night, but I wish you peaceful dreams : Aamon starts taking notes to keep record of the memorial Aamon: Would anyone care to share some words and or memories with Fyrd? Aia: I am honoured to have known thee and to have worked with thee on so much. Thou wert truly one-of-a- kind in wit, generosity, and vision. Aia: Rest in everlasting peace, dear friend. :Aamon notes Asia's words Aamon: Would anyone else have words or memories to share? Aia: If there is one regret, it is that thou didst never see the likeness we created of thee in thine honour. Aia: We shall miss thee now and evermore. : Aamon records Aia's words Aia: There is one last thing I should like... Aia: Here is the last clicky that thou didst provide for me. Aia: It is fitting that it is a lamp. : Aia places the lamp at the base of Fyrd's pedestal Aia: May it shine evermore in thy memory. Invie: You were always ready to help out a fellow player. You welcomed many new players with your guidance and quests. Be sure that we will continue to guide new players to your garden. Chewett: I will take an acoustic remains later : Chewett: All I wish to say is that I am very sad Aia: We all are, but let not that trivialise the weight upon thyself. Death Ray: It was truly a blessing to have come across such a person. The impressions he's left behind with is will forever remain chriselnenepr Notices he has arrived late chriselnenepr: I simply want to share that Fyrd has been a great help to our community. He always encouraged players to take a more active role when it comes to participating in quests, creating them, or simply just tending to his bug garden chriselnenepr: I am happy to have met the happiest pickle meister in the realm and the many quests he has created to further our enjoyment of the realm. chriselnenepr: Although a bit sad some of his unfinished works may stay as such, but will forever be memories we will hold dear : chriselnenepr Places some flowers near Fyrd's statue Chewett: We can finish some of his plans I have some of them chriselnenepr smiles : Chewett: Goodnight all, I must rest Chewett: I have posted the log as it stands, and will continue to log and post it Chewett: Be well my friends chriselnenepr: Be well and good night! I hope we can make some of those plans a reality Lazarus: Good night, Fyrd. I am grateful to have blessed by your presence all these years. : Lazarus bows Lazarus: Farewell : Aamon notes everyones words Death Ray: Heart breaking, im sure we all know he'd been in his element with the curret event going on. I was aware he was away. And tbh... i thought that it was him, as the voice... Death Ray: Another thought, Magic Duel must have meant a lot to him considering a family member reached out to us... Chewett: His son said "I know he loved playing and contributing to your game." Aia: (It would be very nice to reply saying those who played the game loved him and his contributions too.) Chewett: (/ sent a reply to his old email in the hope it is read) Aia: (Thanks) : The storm has blown Doitidort onto the Gafeway Island beach. Death Ray: Not sure it would be appropriate, but, would be nice to sent his loved ones our condolences with a brief note from us This is where I had stopped recording as RL things were going on for me. I wish to say if anyone wishes to say something in his memory please add to this. I wish his spirit well as I am sure many of you do.

@Mallos but look where Handy P. Is now. No more kitty cat... maybe actual active vets

I had an idea sort of similar to this one but I think it's different enough to make a separate post. Mounts. For example a horse or a dragon that you also need to take care of, feed, water it. It would have it's own set of AP (either not much or a decent amount with longer cooldown. Maybe enough to just get through one side of a land to another) that is spent when you are mounted instead of your personal AP. Would require rest and food and water to regenerate it. It should maybe require a quest to earn one, a ritual or building one. Shouldn't be very easy to get. Maybe an icon next to playername or avy to show you are mounted or a automated text in chat like "*playername mounts mountname*" I would personally use it mostly for RP purposes and wonder if anyone else thinks this is a cool idea.

A couple days ago... give it a few more years for the 1,000,000!

It is that time of year again. It has apparently been a very long 2 years.
