I hope all who are able have taken of some time to visit the scenery new to the realm (although one could assume these were once lost, given their appearance). A simple task, then - draw a simple map of the new scenes, and present them here. There should be two such maps - those with coordinates beginning with 9_ and those with coordinates beginning with 5_. Consider that artistic nature is not part of the criteria for judgment - one rather prefers accurate placement and proportionality, similar to how one would expect in a map of other lands. Twenty five such scenes do exist, and Mur has announced the prize will be a single custom scene of one's desire, with the deadline for such a task the thirtieth day of the month. An additional, and simpler task: Name the scenery; although one cannot usually title the scenery eponymously, one may do so in a subtle manner. Provide within this thread the coordinates of the scene to be named, and a suggested title, along with an optional explanation of why the title were fitting. The best single name of any scene (as determined by royal decree) will earn 1 wishpoint, and the best single name of any scene as determined by popularity (i.e. total number of votes whether positive or negative) will also win 1 wishpoint. The closing date for entries will be, similarly, the thirtieth day of the month in which this quest is announced, although comments may continue to be made in this thread after the closing date.

can we somehow bring more players here? i dont know how ,any ideas?

Picked up some pumpkins to carve with the family tonight; mine is the one on the right. Nothing fancy, but had fun!

The recent changes to the popularity poll made in Announcement 6231 have, to my perspective, made the popularity poll even more frustrating to engage with. I've personally never liked the idea of giving a "disliked" vote to someone, and feel like I'm arbitrarily downvoting people because I have no option not to. To combat this, I'd like to propose a change to how the votes are actually carried out - instead of voting one person up and one person down, why don't we use a ranked voting system? Pick three names from the list, and place them in the order of most liked (value of say 3 to the first choice, two to the second, and 1 for the third). I do recognize being able to say you dislike someone is valuable, so we could perhaps also have an optional option to rank upto three people negatively (-3 through -1), with the option to not fill out all three slots (so you might vote -3 for one person, -1 for another, and leave -2 blank but the system still accepts it as complete). Thoughts? Something like that would probably take slightly longer to complete, but only by a few seconds and we'd no longer have to say we don't like people that we in reality just don't have an opinion on (while still having the option to express our selves if there are actual issues in the community). Does anyone have alternative ideas on the popularity voting?

Attached is my first rough draft plus some annotated stuff. I didn't get as much time as I wanted to clean it up, so it's pretty rough! Typically I would then take this and clean up the lines, etc. But I also wanted to know what Mur was looking for... The scale is wrong around the food area but I didn't want to clean that up initially. I also didn't adjust the colour as it's pretty light at the start. Feedback welcome, I think I got all the right locations based on the perspective but the scale is MASSIVELY wrong. There is a clear issue with prisonguarddesk because the perspective makes the door to the new area linked with a wrong older area. I think we can fix that by moving the scene arrow.

I played the game 10 years ago, and due to some changes in my life, I had to stop playing, forgetting everything in the process including the name of the game itself. I had been thinking for a few months that I wanted to come back but I couldn't remember the name nor find it on MMO pages where I originally found it, It almost felt like If I just imagined the whole thing (which wouldn't be weird considering the nature of the game lol). I finally managed to find it, I don't know how the player base is doing, but honestly I come back with a lot of excitement to grab pen and paper and spend hours on this Hope you all are doing great!

You can log out by accessing the wheel on left side of the interface and the log out option is at the bottom. From that, you can choose to log out or go idle.

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I hope you all are doing well 🙂

I like this proposal. It solves the problems of 1) the same votes always going to the same players, and 2) having to decide which player to "dislike" when there are no active players in the list who I actually dislike (I usually end up choosing at random amongst the player names I don't know well, which I'd prefer not to be forced to do, especially since sometimes those might be newer players). I would also like to bring attention to the karmic cantrips proposal I wrote up at https://miscellaneum.wordpress.com/2023/03/19/popular-≠-interesting/ (section at the end, quoted below). Could be a standalone alternative, or the cantrips (and the reasons given) could be included along the player names as context. This could help with creating a more timely reputation system as well (e.g., I could vote based on the ratio of blessings to hexes a player has received in the past month, and whether or not I agree with the reasons given, rather than a long held grudge or rather I think they picked a cool name at the time of account creation, etc.)

Oh man, I should have read your reply here before doing anything else, Ledah. I just did the sacrificing traditional way, directly sacrificed a 3,000 days old creature on an altar, and I was like "What the". That process you mentioned still works. Poor me.

Yeah it was supposed to be the same side of tbe same door, sadly some inconsistencies are present ...But do you think they are obvious enough? First of all the ceiling is not inconsistent, its just different as the area the door takes you to gets closer the the bedrock cave style dungeon entrance, while the corridor is built with stone slabs. The floor tiling is indeed inconsistent, but come on, its barely noticeable that the tiles are perfectly aligned in one and shifted in the other..i could fix that. These are both sides of the same room, because on the other sode of the door its something else

Note: I haven't named the scenes or done the 9x scenes yet. That's planned for this week (regardless of prizes)

Yes because the map is not final, does not contain all the exists, and is nothing intricate that can't be easily replicated with a few consecutive days. I will use it later as a base to do the final one, that will be visible already when entering this realm ...so it will be very public anyway

This has been resolved

MD always been a game for a specific type of person. The younger gen z and gen alpha have little attention span, watch skibidi toilet and play roblox so idk maybe it appeals more to an older demographic now. Personally I found MD through an ad on armorgames many many years ago however I do understand that in the long run advertising temporarily boosted MD's player count but most people didn't stick around. Quality over quantity. Word of mouth could be good if you have any friends with similar gaming interests though that didn't work for me and that was when it was very active. If anyone streams or does something like tik toks making MD content may get it out there more but with low player count it may not be that enticing. I do believe that there's a lot of potential players that would enjoy MD still but don't know about it. Players that enjoy tabletop RPGs specifically i think. It might seem a hopeless cause but I'll always retain hope and login as long as the servers are still up.

It would be nice to be able to see either publicly or privately on profile page under an avy (or when hovering over avy on profile page) the artist that drew it just to pay homage to current and past artists. When I see a really nice avy I always wonder who drew it. It could also potentially help said artist to get more work commissioned.

This can be closed, I found it! It was Blackthorn not gonzalo that was commissioned. http://storenow.net/my/?f=17e1b8b047b0a06381d9a812988fd2f3

Love Y'all my Friends ❤️
