Trust me it was alot worse for new mp5s before that to find honor. The GGG is sometimes a good place to find honor. Some of the MRs and a few other peoples mp5 alts are balanced or over so give lots of honor.

The problem is fist to understand the consequences of your decisions. As some suggested to get some loses: you will at one point get to the limit and lose stats. Get balanced: you will get to the point where you will fight a lot less due to lack of honor. [/quote] My most [s]intelligent[/s] [color="#FFFFFF"]xxxx[/color] [s]friend[/s] ... something. Live to your consequences. [quote name='phantasm' date='04 June 2010 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1275681602' post='61031'] 1. reasons: - old vets should be powerful and stomp on noobs. Noobs should like it. - agreed 3 weeks to mp5 is not a good thing. That can happen regardless of GGG. - there are usually 10 to 15 people max at the GGG at any given time. If thats MD, MD is in more trouble then we know. after that: -Attack noobs until they leave from stat loss - people complain because powerful people go around causing them to have stat loss, instead of helping them learn to play the game - people complain about too strong- strongest come from GGG...yet half you protestors say that it doesn't matter cause you can beat GGG trainers? [/quote] Dude, I know that saying upfront that you (and I quote you) "lack intelligence" it forbidden on the forum, but you do. There is not a single game in the world (that I know of) where a beginner can compete with an experienced player. As for half beating ggg trainers ... maybe in my good days i can beat some of you. But don't worry, soon enough you will have to live up to your decisions and take good beatings from ppl you train in ggg. And those 10-15 I want to be able to attack. [quote name='phantasm' date='04 June 2010 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1275681602' post='61031'] 2. - split into smaller groups so even less conversations and interactions happen.

[quote name='phantasm' date='04 June 2010 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1275681602' post='61031'] 3. Why would be good for MD - people should know how to fight, agreed, though few are willing to help, just attack for their own stat gains - people should be able to walk in MD and find people to talk to....strange...conversations and such happen all the time at the GGG - defenders of GGG are becoming powerful and now I can't come in and break GGG rits when I want to...wahhhh [/quote] Actually ggg is and always was for gaining stats, exp, wins.

[/quote] fortunately I don't whine, I'm having fun, really I can stay there and attack freely whomever I desire (and I do pick only some) and see very interesting things as: - all the other ppl gets sent to GoC - many uses of other spels in most creative way (on both sides) What can I say, it is fun. See you there and PLEASE don't talk to me.

Short as I cannot reply to you all (the same thing 50 times): 1. Reasons for doing this: - to make ppl understand their place, noobs should be compared with noobs, powerful with powefull - to make ppl realize that 3 weeks to get to mp5 is not a good thing: YOU LEARN NOTHING - ppl start to think that ggg is MD - abuses of ggg protective team and after that : - lack of ppl to attack & defend against - ppl lack the knowledge to defend & attack - ppl complain when attacked as this is a capital offense in MD - ppl complain that ppl become too strong - but strongest come from their own ggg team 2. Alternatives (of, too many): - split in smaller groups - change character of ggg - move to common location and learn to survive - learn to defend - ask politely for easy wins This is not a "one fits all" choice, you can even select more / all 3. Why would be good for MD - ppl should know to really fight and set really nice def rituals, no matter their at / def rituals. - ppl should be able to walk in MD and find ppl to be able to talk to them - and most of all because the defenders of this perverted ggg became too annoying and abusive (MRD started all this yesteday) 4. What are my closest targets: a. gain the permission for all to attack freely at ggg b. remove any powers given to enforce ggg c. enjoy some good battles d. gather some friends to have even more fun e. who knows, maybe someone will ask to help him with some nice defs (didn't happen in more then 1 year) 5. How can it be done (what I plan to do) : - destroy as many defs as possible - stay there and to attack whenever I want with whatever I want - if someone uses their spells on me, i will ask help from others to come and join me as you only have limited nb of uses - bring back to life some DEAD creatures like knator & loreroot archer hmm, i will continue later on this

GGG kind of gathering is not good for the game. I want it closed. There is no more respect in this game. Honor became an aberration. Please (mod name here), if you have the link for what GGG should do, attach it to this post. What GGG was intended to do and what it does is different and it went for bad. To keep the spoilers to minimum, I will just say that it is used for: - gaining status points - gaining wins - getting experience You will say that this is the point. NO, this is the point of the entire game. If you do this in an organized fashion, the ones that will be able to stay longer will be able to (ab)use more this possibilities. AND IT IS WRONG. You all say that some players are overpowered, some creatures do too much damage. YES, you allowed some to over (ab)use this GGG to achieve all that. All of the above gains should be done through hard work. All of the players should be attack-able at all available locations with whatever anyone desires. That should be the first rule. There is a limit to attack a player within no less then 8 minute with a reason: if one does not like to be attacked, to be able to leave or hide or to be able to set a defense. This is the most important rule that governed MD for a long time and should be imposed again. Also, any use of spells to send someone away because they don't like the attacks is an aberration and should be punished. That should be as a second rule. As an implication of those rules, any gathering wherever it may be is attack-able. Any gathering for "ggg kind of reasons" within closed location should be forbidden. (This cannot be achieved at this time but it should be enforced) That way, any player that gets stats to beat you deserves your respect. Any player that can beat your defense deserves that honor of acknowledging that is better. I hate ggg grinders that gained HUGE amounts of stats for nothing, no effort what so ever. Today MRD said that this game is no longer fun Today MR Holy One said that it is no longer fun. Lets make it fun again. Lets make a win be a really good win and not a fake.

I will try to say something different, that I way I post again and I don't edit the previous one. First of all, I must appologize. I read this topic this morning and it seems that my post is a bit harsh but I assure you guys that this is not personal. So, Burns, excuse me for interfering with your topic. And on topic: I do understand what you want to say Burns, some people are overpowered (and I do consider myself in the middle league) but they will always exists. As long as "stats" exists (personal or for alliance) and those can be increased, there is no way to stop a player to aspire to be the "all mighty powerful" in MD. Also, there are many different points of view of how to be "all mighty powerful" and i'll give some obvious examples: Mur master of code (some say disaster) / Chewett "il capo di" forum / Rendril / dst and even I am Bored (for just being boring) and that is just some of them. In other words: you cannot completely remove the "overpower" from this game without losing it's "soul". (Lightsage, this is no connection with what you wrote, don't take it personally) So, if you don't want to completely change the game, I propose you (all) to take in consideration, when saying that a creature is overpowered, only that is too powerful next to other creatures ON THE SAME PLAYER. Start talking about creatures being overpowered and not about creatures on SOME players. That way you should compare only creatures on players with similar stats. In that spirit I proposed 2 things in the above post: 1. change the formulas to use logarithms : and I already stated that it is a bad idea some "grinders" will lose their interest 2. make some special days with special events : no personal stats / common grounds only Once again I will excuse myself if my posts seem to be pointing at some people (without me spelling their name). I only intend , as some of you do, to improve this game

I don't understand what are you fighting about, really. Why do you want to make an equilibrium between new players and old players or just grinders ? There is just one way to do that: REMOVE PERSONAL STATS. That is very simple. There would be another way, to change all formula to use logarithms, that way, all players will be limited to certain max values. That way, you will simply know those limits and all players will be equal in the end. There is only one game that I've played where with experience you don't gain more stats and that one used items as a reward for experience. Do you want to use items instead of personal stats ? So be it, in about 2 years, some will have some uber perfectly assorted items that will kill the most players and they will still be considered as "over-powered". So? What do you want ? Are you afraid of a few loses against the "big" ones ? Do you fill sorry for the little ones ? SO WHAT ? You GGG age players do not know how it was at the beginning. I will give you a solution for your problems : Move all players to Marind & No man's Land and forbid the other lands (if you stay longer then 5 minutes in a single location you will be sent to GoE for example). That way you will see plenty of players to attack and defend against. (Remember Willow's Shop ?) For the GGG age players: let me give you a short vision of the past: players with [b]100ve[/b] were in Willow's Shop trying to get the wins / exp for a new level of a creature. The only thing that really needs to be fixed is the creature's stats & abilities. But that takes time and not all changes are good. Live with it. If you want to suggest things, suggest ways to improve not to over power creatures / auras / life .

Is it too late to join ? I think that English would be better as it was written in English and if I don't understand ... I'll ask for the movie with subtitles So, I want a nice one. Heavy, hard, complicated and sophisticated, just get one nice. In mur I trust! PS: you can also add as introduction (or at the end) the story of this book.

I is so much fun to read this. How can / should I start ? Something that most mods should have already read a few times on the forum, but anyway: Maybe some need to understand what really "dst" stands for and it is not [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_de_la_surveillance_du_territoire"]DST[/url], it is simply my name's initials (ME as "No one", not that I've touched "dst" char in the year or more). Another: From initial post on this topic, dst said: [quote name='dst' date='13 May 2010 - 11:36 AM' timestamp='1273739772' post='59744'] Play the game, obey the rules and in case you don't want to follow the rules don't be cowards and assume the responsibility!

[/quote] I will consider that you are not a coward (not that I've seen it clearly stated), but do you take responsibility ? You never said that ? (as I've seen lots of people that take "bold" decisions but don't take responsibility for them) So ? Do you take decisions ? Do you take responsibility ? Do you listen ? Do you accept feedback for your actions ? Do you accept / ask guidance before taking decisions ? I don't want to know the answers I will just tell you that bragging does make you smarter only in the eyes of the less fortunate. Anyway, you also mentioned : [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 May 2010 - 12:00 PM' timestamp='1273741256' post='59746'] Anyone with eyes can see that you are a spiteful woman. No one appreciates that. [/quote] even if it was not intended, knowing dst as much as I do ... yes, I do appreciate her . Hmm, you are full of truth here: [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 May 2010 - 12:00 PM' timestamp='1273741256' post='59746'] No, you didn't use bad words. I couldn't care less if you used every curse word known to mankind. Whether or not it is true, or a lie, what you say sometimes is just plain harassment. You target the same person over and over again, launch at them your very own brand of hatred and then watch with joy as they flip out. [/quote] and I guess that you talk about attacking you. Hmm, true, she might have had more time then others, but face it, you give plenty of reasons. I personally wanted to tell you some, but responding 1 week later would be pointless. And another : [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 May 2010 - 12:00 PM' timestamp='1273741256' post='59746'] As for Mods behaving like children? Mods are in a position of authority(how ever little it may be). People in authoritative positions must act like people who are in charge, otherwise, who will respect them and listen to what they say? [/quote] do you speak from experience ? As I remember you were a mod too and as I remember you did exactly what you described. ... I'm starting to enjoy writing, let find some more ... I do hope that you don't try to brag here as there are a lot of people that can prove that have been in more countries more exotic then you did. [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='20 May 2010 - 10:29 AM' timestamp='1274340594' post='60090'] And you would be wrong about the IP, Chewett. Because I've logged in from several countries. The US, Germany, and Cuba to name a few. Edit: Not to mention several canadian cities. So please, don't lie. [/quote] What did you said ? [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='20 May 2010 - 10:29 AM' timestamp='1274340594' post='60090'] Edit2: And as far as the RL challenge to DST, she does not RP. She is not a "character" she is dst. Through and through. What comes out of dst's mouth is what ever her real name's mouth says. [/quote] Dst does not RP ? :D:D yes, she doesn't like to call that RP, but she has a role and she is playing long before you (and most "Pro's") started playing MD. She even got an award for it. So far, as I understand, is that if someone doesn't say that (s)he does RP, it means that he doesn't. Lets put an end to this. --------------------- Fenrir, I will say whatever everyone avoided to say and I promise I don't try to be mean, but you get upset because you RP "stupid" and people takes you as is. I am sorry for saying this for 2 reasons : you might get upset and second : if you get upset and leave ... there will be no more fun from your RP. Anyway, try to take a break from forum and write once every month, it might change your image.

[quote name='freelancer' date='14 May 2010 - 06:38 PM' timestamp='1273851537' post='59814'] I understand what you are saying, that if a def ritual becomes invalid, random 6 creatures would call in to help, but I have asked some people in game and they said they have had another valid def ritual kick in ( in LIFO fashion) when the current selected def rit is not valid. [/quote] it is correct only if the invalid ritual is no longer usable (can only do "Unbind" on them). that way, the next valid ritual is picked. [quote name='freelancer' date='14 May 2010 - 06:38 PM' timestamp='1273851537' post='59814'] Now I got this idea from another guide in the forum. Since the guide is a little complicated, I apologize to the writer if I misunderstand what it says. Heres the link: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/1872-how-to-survive-in-md-world/ Go down to where it says “2. Getting attacked and defending” and read rule 4. [/quote] for the guide ... was not meant to be comprehensive ( I wrote that ) nor to explain everything, just to give some clues on what is going on . Rule 4 & 5 ... are a bit obsolete as there is no longer checked for the second valid ritual (i will have to remember to write some corrections to that). [quote name='Burns' date='14 May 2010 - 07:25 PM' timestamp='1273854348' post='59817'] And it seems that the guide is simply wrong there, small wonder, looking at the date of it. Don't trust mechanics posts older than 6 months. It's rather unlikely that they are still correct. [/quote] C'mon Burns, the guide, excepting those 2 points is quite valid even now after almost 2 years. It is still the best least-spoiling guide (in my opinion).

[quote name='phantasm' date='27 January 2010 - 02:42 AM' timestamp='1264552957' post='53465'] the thing is ive used 100% thousands of times before, I always use my attacks on 100%. You still only lose the amount of that VE it says in the battle log. If the creatures lost 35k of the VE in a battle they stay healed and take 35k out of your personal VE. To tell me after all these months (im sure there are plenty other people who use 100% in rits al the time) that at 100% you lose all your VE wether the fight uses it all or not is ludacris. You lose the amount of VE in a fight, wehter its 1% or 100% ...shouldn't take everything at any time unless it says you lose 100% [/quote] whatever you say, counting ups and downs when having lifestealers ... it is pointless as it will be virtual VE (see Telperion should get an additional 35k ve) so ... you lose the battle you lose all the extra ve put in battle give it a try and tell me the result

[quote name='phantasm' date='27 January 2010 - 02:25 AM' timestamp='1264551953' post='53462'] of course it was 100%. Come on DST its Phantasm here..ive been playing enough to know when you start out with 97 thousand VE PLUS creature VE, have a battle that says you lost 20% WICH was 35k, but you really lose 97 thousand ve, Not couting the VE lost in creature ratio something is amiss. This has never happened to me once in the entire 330 days ive played the game [/quote] question: did you used lifestealers ? (because I noticed that Telperion already used them.= using picture 3 I see that you used lifestealers too (one water), then ... it is a normal result as he stole more ve then you by 35k

What did I do ? [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth'] May i see the list? will you publish it? And again, since you know nothing of Shoeps and dst do not make general comments that show your ignorance of that topic. Find another more apt argument that fits. [I actually know quite a bit. As I have had several lengthy chats with Sheops about it.] [/quote] First: I will continue with my advices to you even if you don't pay attention: [b]every story has at least 2 true versions.[/b] Second: you have been warned 2 times on not picking on this subject, don't be stupid to continue on it. You don't know the whole story between dst and Shoeps. Anyway, nice quoting

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 January 2010 - 12:33 AM' timestamp='1263335588' post='52585'] For instance, her attacks on Shoeps. I do not care what he did, or why she attacks him constantly, but it is not acceptable to see these instances brought up every few weeks when she can't find another prey to attack. [/quote] You should not interfere in a conflict if you don't know the reasons. On this conflict (as you are/were a moderator) you should already know a few things but ... you lack that intel.

That may or may not be the case, but the fact remains that her goal was to make Shoeps hated by the general population by making a personal conflict public because she could not win otherwise. Again, unacceptable. He is not the only one she constantly harasses. I have a list of people she makes regular attacks against, and it isn't right. [/quote] Congratulation, you finally found the RP role for her: huntress. Lets admit it: she is GOOOD at hunting, but she still has some problems with the kill. [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 January 2010 - 12:33 AM' timestamp='1263335588' post='52585'] Her attitude towards anyone that does anything but tread lightly around her is deplorable. If you so much as argue with her, she will call you a coward. If you so much as win, watch out, for you will be put on her "black list". I had recently posted something about her comments of calling an individual a coward on the forum. What happened? She deleted and removed the post because she found it "insulting". As well as threatened to have my warn level increased to the point that I will have a Moderator review everything I post. I was also demoted from my job of being a Section Moderator for the CTC Section. The reason being? I closed topics that were inactive, and merging posts without notifying the poster when they were spamming their topic with bumps. Why is this a reason for demotion when I had been faithfully maintaining the most active section in the forum for nearly 8 months? [/quote] I guess that dst has an activity of more then 8 months and was more active then most moderators. As for the reasons of what she did ... you should consult the rules of MD mods and also with Chewett (that I know is very impartial). Posting this on a topic ... in my opinion ... shows your luck of judgement. (sorry) [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 January 2010 - 12:33 AM' timestamp='1263335588' post='52585'] I believe dst is once again at hand. The night prior, I was having a heated debate with Dmik King(If forget exactly what the initial topic was about but towards the end Dmik King was claiming I was claiming the Holocaust did not happen... when I wasn't talking about it. Tried clarifying it but he would not listen because he was so angry.) and a few others. Dst intervened and started her usual act of trying to prove herself superior to others.

(I really don't care if I am the CTC Mod or not. It does not bother me.) So, dst and Chewett, notified me several days ago that I was demoted for reasons still unclear. I am here to call dst out.

[/quote] Fenrir, from my experience, any personal problem must be solved in person (or at least tried) then you can escalate but still keep it private.

If I offended someone ... please tell me and I will apologize.

I prefer silver. If no 3d is available ... then C is ok for me (even D or F works fine depending on the price). I don't know why someone would want a bronze one, they need special care. True, A looks nice. So, lets see some prices. Marv, I think that those are just for presentation of ... colour

[quote name='Redd' date='27 November 2009 - 01:28 PM' timestamp='1259321286' post='48561'] Yeah, I forgot. please forgive me. After 1k something losses, you won't get loss increment. But I also want to add that it would still be hard because such players will get feasted upon by others since they give the [color="#FF0000"]highest [/color]honor. Oh and anosuinc reached -9k honor. [/quote] when you have more loses then wins you give LESS honor (as in negative)

[quote name='Udgard' date='27 November 2009 - 08:50 AM' timestamp='1259304655' post='48557'] @redd: 3k is rather extreme, even with the current situation, having 3k difference is already going to be giving a hard time. IIRC, there is also a kind of negative honor cap right now (5k-ish?), so it won't go as far as 100k negative honor. There is also a max loss more than wins caps right now (around 1k or 1,1k). [/quote] the 5k limit is for positive honor there is a limit of -500 honor and when you get below ... you no longer get stats but ... you can get below. there is a player with more then 8k negative honor

yes, if a player is not part of an Alliance ... then he is part of this one. So ... it is the sum of the rest of the world and that explains the huge score.

You will lose more when you lose fights, and there is no way you can win with those stats. Better to run and hide until the curse is gone. [/quote] Why ? there are always tokens to take into considerations. lol, kids think of all possibilities

Kamisha, there are possibilities to help your honor. The problem is fist to understand the consequences of your decisions. As some suggested to get some loses: you will at one point get to the limit and lose stats. Get balanced: you will get to the point where you will fight a lot less due to lack of honor. These are only examples of consequences. You can find your own. As for honor ... you already got the answer.

lets put it like this : NO and ... what are we talking about ? win / loses or honor ? Anyway, any of those 2 can be fixed using the current situation in MD. For honor : there are balanced players (most of them in alliances) that can be farmed for honor (see GGG). For win / lose ratio ... ask your friends in game to help eachother to get more wins. Yea, sure, you will say that if one gets a win the other one loses. NO, one can get wins without the other getting the lose. So, Aql, don't be lazy. I know that an easy way out can be use but for the sake of the comunity : teach the other how to fight.

[quote name='awiiya' date='09 November 2009 - 09:31 PM' timestamp='1257795078' post='47096'] This is a very silly thing to be arguing about for this simple reason: MD is different for all people, and some systems are better for some than they are for others. One person could say with absolute conviction that the combat system is better than the RP (dst) and another who views them more equally (kafuuka, I believe). Which one is right? I would say that they are both right, just as every single person is right. Are those who say MD is an RPG right? Yes, although their wording implies something that I think they usually do not mean. MD is an RPG to those who play it like one, it is a FPS if you want to play it like that (though realistically, [color="#0000FF"][b]no one[/b][/color] does), and it is a place to log in and look at the same picture every day if that is what you so desire. ... [/quote] [quote name='Wolfmist' date='09 November 2009 - 09:52 PM' timestamp='1257796331' post='47099'] ... MD is a picture. The observers are you, I and everyone else here. If they see blue and you see yellow, who cares? Don't crush someone's creativity or their way of enjoying the game. If anything, add to it or help them. [/quote] Since awiiya mentioned my name (even by mistake), I will reply also: I see MD in a totally different way, I see MD as a park. I log in, I walk, I meet people, I do something bad (sometimes), I play mind games with my friends and then ... relaxed, I go to do my daily RL life. So this is the most interesting game for me because I can play fights even without logging in (in my mind). Also, as dst already said, good rituals are hard to find and best ones are always a spark away . Anyway, see you ... maybe on the beaches of GG or on the deserted lands of Necrovion or even at a bbq at Bob or somewhere in Lore. hmm, enough bla bla for today

[quote name='Rendril' date='03 November 2009 - 03:25 PM' timestamp='1257254714' post='46494'] I suspect there is a single function for it, but each scene could be checking for a key in its specific way. I am not saying this is what it does, just a possibility. I genuinely hope it is being checked in the preloader queries. As far as I know, the cross-user storages are not finished yet. Here is an example that uses all object, this user. If you want it with all users, you will have to manage the user id's manually, it might be easier with just the ucrrent methods. [code] //get the stored "keys" retrieve(@vk); //make a new blank array if it doens't already exist if(@vk == null) @vk = array(); //giving the user a "key" @vk[] = "my-key-name"; //checking if user has the "key" if(in_array("my-key-name", @vk)) echo "you have the key!"; //save the "keys" back in storage store(@vk); [/code] [/quote] Ok, tell me this: when you do the "retrieve(@vk);", you are getting the "values / user" or "values / script owner" ? [quote name='Rendril' date='03 November 2009 - 03:25 PM' timestamp='1257254714' post='46494'] I believe the MDStore and WPStore already work on keys. We are assuming there is a global key-checking function. If there is, great. If not, it means a massive game overhaul. [quote] I just thought of this: If there is already a function that checks the keys, then ... it can be done without too much problems to first check the initial way then to check in the tables. That way, if the new way is better it can replace completely the old method without crushing the system. [quote name='Rendril' date='03 November 2009 - 03:25 PM' timestamp='1257254714' post='46494'] That's not what I meant, I'm saying the tradeoff isn't good enough. Please correct me if I am wrong in this estimation: Most key lengths will not exceed 30 characters nor will they fall below 10 characters (taking prefix length into account) so we have an average of about 20 characters for a key, that means 20 bytes. In the current method that means it is storing twice that due to the asoicative indexing, thus 40 bytes. Can you explain why you gave 2 tables? I'm not sure why both are needed. The way I see it these are the fields that would be needed: key_id (long - 4 bytes) user_id (long - 4 bytes) editor_id (long - 4 bytes) key_name (string - 20 bytes average from above) last_access_timestamp (long - 4 bytes ) system_key_flag (boolean - 1 bit) Usage per row = 36 bytes (I hve omitted the 1-bit boolean) So, 40 bytes compared to 36 bytes. This is a pretty big increase, 10% is no small matter. In 1mb of keys we save 100kb. But this is without taking into consideration the MySQL overhead, which does not come cheaply. MySQL does its own indexing and storing of additional metadata tables for faster querying. This alone makes the table method cost more than the redundant key sotrage. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think additional tables and indexing take much more than the 4 bytes saved. Please don't misunderstand. I am in favour of the method you suggest. I just haven't seen sufficient cause to warrant a massive migration. If you can provide conclusive reasoning for how it is remarkably better, we can take it to Mur. [/quote] aaa ... aaaa, i guess so The reason that I put 2 table is to try to remove the redundancies. If there are 2 identical keys ... it will save space, if all the keys are different ... it will lose space. As for 2 different tables ... well ... consider that actually there is an "n-n" relation between user and key. And that relation is done through the 3rd table : "user_keys". Another reason for using tables ... it can speed up the search for keys, it will allow listing of keys / user or keys / owner or the other way around ( user / keys ). As for space saved ... consider this : all armor, all WPShop, all MDShop as keys, lets say 200 items 200 * 20 chars average = 4000bytes for each player , but all these keys are stored once, after that , each one will only this : (uid, key_id, last_access_timestamp, system_key_flag) and all these columns only if you want to implement new functionality. Also consider the new functionality that are opened with this approach, not only the space occupied.
