  9. Guard System

    in New Ideas

    Posted · Edited by DARK DEMON

    There is a spell called guardianarmy that has the same concept you are speaking of (albeit with no restrictions, and with no 'permission'). Implementation of this idea would make that spell null, really, especially because the spell (worth a WP) lasts 8 minutes whereas this 'free option' will apparently last much longer.

     

    Edit: I know its not the exact same thing but you get what I mean. 

  17. WTS Creatures/ & items

    in Central Market

    Tissy not to be rude but i will be accepting Mur's bid . My reasoning is because you are a younger player and that coin could be used on more useful items...example .... Creatures, spell stones, items to help benifit you as a player trying to advance. Tissy also know this { the personal item drop of blood has no current use other than rp purposes. } With that said i dont want you to waste your coin on something your not even sure of what it is . ill find you ingame and message you :)

     

    Tissy is old. Very old. And IMO this is not good going.

  18. Quest WP rewarding discussion

    @nim

    you are making this contest as a mockery to mine, ...thats sad ..and its even more sad to see others participating in this frustration when it comes to question the obvious things around you. I was hoping you people where more open minded than the general crowds

    however, anyone that has wp to give can give them for whatever contest they can think of thats actually a contest and not a way to cover personal rewards.... so be careful to run this fake contest as a real contest if you intend to give wishpoints for it. have fun.

     

    Have you read the actual topic and posts? This is a "lol-thread", not a brain stresser

  20. question the obvious - round earth or not?

    @Dark Demon: orbiting things can be explained on the flat earth model as well, you just go outside the reach of gravity and you're 'floating'

    The sunlight, the way you describe it, makes no sense, as you would see different tempreture levels from a radial heat source just the same on a flat surface as on a spherical one, I challanged the earth shape, never said the sun becomes "flat" too. Check out minute 1:18 of this movie so you understand what i mean about sunlight explained on a flat model https://youtu.be/GDaiw-G1VGE?list=LLPazc0hA-FeE0eRigtzDoEQ

     

    If the Earth was flat, how would you explain long periods (months) of darkness on very northern areas for example? I looked at the video and according to that diagram on 1:18, day and night MUST occur and no region is hidden from the sun for extended periods of time.

     

    Another thing: You see much farther from a higher spot than from the ground (consider that there are no obstacles and terrain is even). This suggests a curvature because you can see space/matter/objects along this curvature which you can't from a horizontal view.

    Oh come now, Mur :P

     

    If I recall correctly, satellites would not be able to orbit the Earth were it not for the curvature being in sync with the velocity of the satellite, because the satellite is always "falling". The fact that this orbiting takes place along the same principles as circular motion we see in front of our eyes, suggests that the Earth is round. 

     

    Also, as a random fact: the Earth is not exactly round, it has a bulge and a very irregular surface, but these are negligible due to the Earth's minuscule size compared to the sun.

     

    Another proof that the Earth is round: sunlight. The concentration of sunlight received at the surface of the Earth at the equator is not the same as the concentration received at the poles, which is why poles are much colder. This is because the sunlight has to travel a farther (diagonal) distance and is spread over a wider area at the poles, and a small horizontal distance at the equator (in reality its the Tropics alternatively, not the equator btw). On a flat surface, sunlight would be distributed equally throughout the entire 'Earth' and there would be no such temperature difference. Google images this: "latitudinal effect"

     

     

     

    If you didn't know these facts: I'm shocked lol

    If you knew them: Please shock me by proving how these do not answer your question

  23. Avatars

    in Resolved Bugs

    Posted · Edited by DARK DEMON

    I also prefer getting an avy custom made to suit my role but for some it might be the other way around: an avy they saw in a shop guiding their role/items/behaviour etc.

    My point being: hoarding makes the avy shop loses its purpose since commissioning offers a lot more freedom (i.e. youre legit forcing them to get one commissioned if they want a "good" avy). And to prevent hoarding, there is a cost.

    Not that it can really prevent it, of course. But it's a pain in the ass for anyone trying, like someone said.

  24. Avatars

    Buying an avatar, and having it go straight to your vault, will only worsen the avatar "hoarding", in my opinion.

    It'll be like giving someone a free sprint around the supermarket -- they'll throw things into their basket that they don't even really need, just saw and wanted because they could.

    At least now, if you really want an avatar, you have to go through a little struggle/annoyance to get it.

    Whilst I'm all up for people having more than one avatar, I think it should be a lower limit and only condoned if the player actually uses them for RP reasons.

    These are my personal opinions though, of course.

     

    THIS.

     

    To follow up from my previous and Aethon's post, I think avy's are no longer considered special, which is sad and which is why I think its supposed to remain this way.

     

    2 years or so ago, many of the oldies used to tell me how having an avy in the first place used to be a big deal and how its a part of your character rather than a cool thing to display. IMO this is why its not supposed to be able to change so lightly. People want to make sure that THEY get all the good looking avatars whether or not it fits their character, it seems, denying other newer players who might fit that avy more.

     

    I'm a little surprised from the inside to see that instead of newbies its the vets who are complaining and who want even more avatar control, despite having services to have a custom avy made at their whim.

  25. The good, the bad, and the MD

    in General Forum

    I actually liked how Confused Santa was... quite confused and wandered around and actually prompted people to be active rather than just reward all who were idle. Maybe that should be signaled clearly next year, such as "Don't idle around or Santa might not reward you!", to avoid potential issues with people saying they missed Santa when in fact they didn't know they were supposed to look for him.

     

    I must say I disagree. Many people are/were quite busy or visiting others on those 3 days of Christmas rather than sitting on MD all day. It is wrong to expect someone to be online for a long period of time or at specific times waiting or looking for santa, in my opinion. From what I saw, santa was gifting people based on "if they were a good boy this year", and it isn't exactly fair if some of these people couldn't catch santa due to their busy RL schedule. Everybody deserves to be happy at Christmas.
