Ok...let's suppose you find the "criminal". What would you do against him/her? I have 2 theories about this: 1)It's a noob who did not know what he/she was doing so the incident will probably never repeat itself. 2)It's a vet that knows how to clear his/her tracks. And even if he/she is discovered he/she has the tools to escape your punishment (whatever that is. Right now there is nothing to do about it. There are risks involved when you leave your char idle. Don't assume that everybody has good faith and follow rules. This is MD . Rules are a different concept here, if I may say so. It may be a regrettable incident but it also might not. It all depends on which of the 2 theories apply.

Opened due to MasterB's request:seems like lots of players experience such behavior. I trust MasterB's judgment so...here it is:post here if you have problems. On a side note:I do hope you all know that some crits do not give stats/principles.

1 GC and 6 silver.

Junior is not in charge of advertising anymore. That announcement should be changed, but until that just post the problems you encounter here.

The pimp went to this guy:Prince Lewas I had no space and no need for it.

Take the guest currently in room 1 and move him to room 2. Take the guest currently in room 2 and move him to room 3. And so forth. Put the new guy in room 1. Infinity + 1 is still infinity

Ok, here's my rant ( I have so many ideas that are dying to be written that I might not be too coherent or jump from one idea to another but hey! this is a rant after all ): MD dead? Hmm...nope, not really. MD is more or less how it was probably 2 years ago:lots of players which did NOTHING (except for maybe the monthly HC). But that was understandable. MD was still a new born.I remember tons of idlers at Willow's Shop with random rits (the ones I feared the most ) or with really easy ones (I loved the Santa rit back then). And that was about it...No quests, no allies, no nothing. But it still attracted me. It was a game free of rules(or they were so few they were not even worth mentioning). Where the hell in the world will you find that? It was a game where you had to learn by yourself (LHOs? Ha! I NEVER use the LHO button). SG? No! GGG? Hell no! It was FUN to chase players, to beat them, to discover things.Then the allies came along. Oh my! That was one great period:all the spying and plotting and suspicion...and I was part of that. And I never recall to RP in the way you are doing now. No! The feelings were genuine! I really hated the tree for not blooming for me! And since I usually hold grudges..oh well... Then RPCs came along. At the beginning it was exciting and really fun. There were quests, there were new and amazing abilities. Then, by the time of the second MD festival things changed...at least for me. Players changed. All of the sudden this new RP came along (or was it there but I did not see it? I wonder...and I really don't have an answer). At the beginning it was again, fun. But after a while I started to enjoy less and less watching others do it ( I never felt the need of doing**). It was too stiff. Too formal. Rules started to appear for RP! Rules for RP? Are you kidding me? Same as lessons on "How to be a better RP-er"....Are you insane? You can RP or not! You cannot learn how to RP. And the only rule I see for RP-ing is common sense (and honestly...it really lacks in MD). From that point things changed 180 degrees. Sorry to say this but part of the blame is bared by some (and I say SOME not ALL) of the RPCs. They became arrogant and more and more demanding. I know some of them that thought the Earth will stop moving if they will quit MD. I am happy that Mur proved them wrong . Then there were those small cells of players that were playing only amongst themselves. The players belonging to those cells became also arrogant (and if they had the support of an RPC...god helped us all...) and felt they were some kind of elite. Then SG came (or was it earlier) which in time improved a bit (see the mp5 rules) but I still see it as a plague even if at the beginning I supported it.When I saw what it generated I started to disobey the rules. Then GGG. Then tokens, then insanely strong crits and in the end the ultimate rits. RP changed also. From the innocent play between Yami, Wodin and MB we have now "professional" RP-ers...O_O. If you dare criticize their way of RP you're doomed. So...let's brief things a bit (no particular order): MD has now: -a place where noobs can train crits, get xp, stat grind -a second place where you can stat grind (oh...do you remember how stat grinders were seen one year ago? if not, I should maybe remind you and maybe I should also find the topic I opened for it) -almost perfect rituals (99% perfect) -professional RP-ers -cells of players (btw:when I say cell I do not mean ally or guild) -<insert here all the other things I wanted to add but forgot - I will add them as I remember> In the end we have one game full of bored players. It was bound to happen. Let's be honest:the first thing that a noob sees for the first time are crits, battles, stats and a nice little story that they don't understand. Then they found out about SG and GGG for the stats/crits and they meet some of the RP-ers. If they are decent they might be accepted in the exclusive RP-ers club. If they suck then they are accused of god moding or god knows what else. So noobs get bored and leave. On the other hand we have the vets. And here there are 2 types: -fighters: in time they managed to get the super rits. Stats are worthless to an mp5 so I doubt few are actually stat grinding. If they do then all I can do is laugh. As long as the tokens work as they are now no stats will help you defeat a good tokened rit. So fighters are bored (angiens were a good incentive for a while cause they offered something to do for the fighters but with GGG that was like taking candy from a baby). -RP-er:I do believe they got bored also. It's quite difficult to explain my idea but I will try: let's say you are a werewolf. You do certain things:transform at full moon, rip some throats, shed and then get back to normal form. How long can you do that? 1 year? 2? You'll say that you all gather and talk. Talk about what? I see the same dialogues day after day after day. I see the same actions from RP-ers day after day after day (I will not give names cause it's irrelevant). Sorry but you all seem bored to me. And the proof? Well..the topic that generated this discussion. MD is not dead! MD is boring. Because you don't have to work for things anymore. One of the reasons I believe the RPC concept failed is that they were given too much without them sweating for the rewards. Seems the illness is contagious. It spread to all MD. I had a hope when kings were elected. Sorry but I was disappointed. One of them is busy with cough* training in different lands *cough*, one is busy with rl and he barely logs in, one in the end quit and one well...this one seems the most active of them and pretty involved (sometimes too involved if you ask me). Sorry kings...for the moment I am, as I said, disappointed and as you all know I am not afraid of speaking my mind. I still haven't lost my faith and I hope things will change. I will stop cause I just spilled out lots of things. I have no patience of re-reading so this post might be, as I already announced, pretty stuffy and incoherent. **If I dont RP doesn't mean I am bad at it as some of you accuse me. I simply don't like it so I don't do it. I am walking a straight line here. On the other hand there are the RP-ers that want to be both (actually 98% of them try it - if you want to be a true RP-er lose the crits! You all say that crits are for battles. Why do you have them? Why do you train them? You don't need crits to RP the flushing of a toilet) and fail miserably. It doesn't matter that they have one super rit that will pwn everyone in MD. If someone strips them of that one rit they are naked. They will not know where to buy a knator... One last things: Granos, took you quite some time to figure that out . Stop plotting cause that fills up your buffers and other ideas (like the one you just issued) have troubles getting out .

Here is my scenario:you logged in and after a while you logged out (a while meaning around 10 minutes). Log out doesn't always count for the cooldown timer (it happens to me a lot) so when you tried to log back in you still have the timer from the first log in. Can you confirm after how long you've logged out? If yes then the above explanation stands, if not then...you probably experienced a glitch or something similar.

[quote name='Czez' date='16 February 2010 - 03:32 AM' timestamp='1266283951' post='54572'] Why are people so obsessed with the Number of items any one player has, rather than the reasons that people have them in the first place? Setting aside the example of a couple notable exceptions atop the item owners list currently, there is no way to quantify RP value of a set of items. [/quote] Exactly! You cannot quantify RP value of a set of items. So how can you come and say that you need ALL those items for RP? You contradict yourself. [quote name='Czez' date='16 February 2010 - 03:32 AM' timestamp='1266283951' post='54572'] There is a scarcity of raws, but that is largely Metal. Almost noone, and certainly not my char, has metal items that can be used to craft other items, and if I did I would put them back into circulation. [/quote] What about the raws that exist and cannot be used due to people like you who keep them? We all agreed that more types of raws are needed and Udgard already said that at some point (sooner or later) they will probably be provided but we are talking about the current situation. If and when and maybe and bla bla are not the subject. On a side note: sure you will put them back to circulation...I have no doubt about it . And in case you want proof, take a look at your last 3 topics (merged into one cause there was no need for 3):you EXCHANGE one item with another. That makes me think you want to maintain your position on the list "that you voted to be removed". [quote name='Czez' date='16 February 2010 - 03:32 AM' timestamp='1266283951' post='54572'] The other significant problem in getting more "raw" items back into circulation (and btw are these really being re-distributed randomly once they are given to Crafters?) is the Item Creation Process itself. Until today, one needed not only WP and often rare raw items, but also Mark of Creation, a much rarer item still. Not only that, but Udgard is the only regularly active Crafter, and he doesn't work in Metal. So in order for most of the items I see people wanting to get crafted, it involves finding WP, Metal items which hardly exist, that people are willing to sell, and also finding Subzeroo or Kragel…. [/quote] Udgard is one of the most honest players in MD (or at least this is my impression about him). I highly doubt that he is hoarding items or that he will keep them for himself. Mark of Creation? Do you know at least what that is? And how to obtain it? I bet you don't have the slightest idea.So please! don't talk about something you don't know just so you can see yourself typing. I do believe that in case someone will want to craft an item out of metal and that person will have everything he/she needs a solution will be found. You talk about items made of metal. Again, why do you talk about the existing problem (and closer actually): the items that are made out of wood or that require gems? [quote name='Czez' date='16 February 2010 - 03:32 AM' timestamp='1266283951' post='54572'] I would like to hear what the people who are whinging the most in this thread need in order to get their list of rp items crafted, and what efforts they've made so far to get this done. [/quote] This is called throwing the dead cat . One of my favorite tactics actually. So...to end this: what did you respond when players came to you and asked you if you are selling?

@Kyphis: I was referring to this: [quote]ANYONE with more items than the limit allows for any category looses every item in every category, including coins.[/quote] But now that I've read it again sounds like you don't have a limit on the coins but you lose them also in case bla bla. And I like this idea also

@Kyphis:you should not set a limit to coins. Coins are gained mainly from MD Shop. And it would not be fair to limit them. But I agree with the other limits. Also, I have an idea: if someone wants additional items that person has to buy a slot from WP Shop. First I thought at MD Shop but we already have Shape Shifter's example who bought all his items more or less with credits. @Czez:I read all your arguments and I still cannot believe how much hypocrisy and lies they contain. Keep up the good work! You're amazing at it!

More NPCs is not the solution. Why would you go and fight a mindless shade/tree/etc rather then a smart player with a nice ritual that can be improved and all the bla bla? Also, maybe this will work for mp3 and mp4 but for most mp5 players it will take how much? An hour? Half an hour? to defeat those NPCs.

I voted yes because I know for a fact that few of the players in the top 10 keep the items specially for that purpose. If you need an item you'll find it if the character is active. If the character is not active what good it will do to know he/she has it but you cannot get it cause he/she quite some time ago?

Peace is right: 1 visible adept counts as yourself. As for the number of the adepts on the right panel, well...that number is counted every day at a specific hour. So if your adept becomes active at let's say 12:00 am you'll still have the number from the last count(which was something early in the morning server time but I am not 100% sure at what time exactly). It should increment at the next count. So, the next day you should have the right number of adepts. That's why I asked for how long you had the adepts showing like this. In the past there were some issues with adepts' count but Mur solved them a long time ago. So I suspect that was your problem. Let me know how's the situation for you now since it should have changed...(if I am correct about the time of the count).

Is this still taking place? In case of a positive answer maybe we should pin it...

Just one reason I can think of:negative honor. Next time it happens, please check your honor. The other situation that can cause this is max xp but I believe it's not your case. Since the issue solved by itself (another thing that makes me believe honor was the problem) I will close this. In case it happens again and it's not the honor, please let one of the mods know and we'll reopen the topic.

Did you have the 2 adepts showing for more then 1 day and the counter did not increase (aka show the correct number)?

I was not talking about personal stats. I was talking about archers' abilities.

If an aramor has no regen stat, it CAN NOT use it. Not to mention the confusion it causes for the new players. Also regen is the worst possible example you used. Regen is something that has nothing to do with the ability to attack while the current situation of the archers has a lot to do with attack. Personally I think it's just an error in the display not in the actual mechanism.

Actually, there is a problem with the archers. Check the stats at max level and you'll know what I mean. The paradox is that they still function.

Can you provide more info? Not in battles? Then how?

*checks the map to see what's the farthest point from Bucharest and then plans a vacation of 1 month there* Ruuun!! The Brits AND one Greek are invading! But I will leave some nails and a hammer to make Grido some high heals ( I doubt we'll find his size...). LE:and Irish people as well...

Princ, READ the posts before writing. It was MY entry the one with the "not worth praising". And since the issue was solved I will not reply to your comments anymore. If you have something to say about ME, you have Fenrir's topic. Which is still opened.

Pample, I never put bad words in her PL. I expressed an opinion. Good or bad, it is mine and I am willing to accept the consequences and the risks. I did not used foul words or insulted her. I first talked to her, I did not rush to the forum to complain. I only acted after I received her answer. And I can make a distinction between a joke and an insult. This was NOT a joke. Hence I asked for it to be removed. ps:she removed the entry and we sorted things out LE:yes, that was her response
