    really? iv just got 5 for doing nothing from the age achievements. WP's are getting easier and more common.
    [/quote]

    Chewett I too have 4 out of the 5 you are talking about but thats like one time isn't it? Its not recurring. So you have 10 crits you need to upgrade and you need a steady flow of WP's. I only have won one WP from Burns others were for age.

    Another thing you say is its getting easier. Getting for me means its not there still so that makes a certain segment at an distinct advantage. That's my opinion by the way.

    There's also the option where you could spend a Wish Point for an advancement of a certain creature, so that's also a way to neglect the MP requirement. However, you can't neglect it this way in battles.
    [/quote]

    For MP5 you can play with the upgraded crit. But my point is you currently have two options which are equally nonviable

    1. Go to MP6 (its requirement will change as Mur has indicated but how long? and by then what would be the requirement? will it be gettable to the majority?)
    2. It hard enough to earn a WP let alone spend it on a crit upgrade unless you have exhausted the WP shop like most of the people at the top of the wish point list :)

    So in the end who is at an advantage? Answer is people who are quick and are stat grinders.

  3. I actually think what you propose is good. But how do we as a community enforce or punish the people who deplete resources is the question I have. When you say "dealt accordingly" I do not like that phrase. Since the dealing should be applied to everybody across the board. I will never say it will not work but I think it will not be consistently applied to all players. I'm pretty sure of that.

    Do you think UN is fair for all? UN for me is a disgrace which is manipulated by powerful countries to their own betterment and economy full stop :) So I don't want MD to be like UN or have a set which functions like UN. That will be the last day I play this game if that happens.

  4. Hi,
    I have the following crits to sell. All of them are not tokened and around 350 age.

    1.[s] [b]Reindrac (for immediate sale)[/b][/s] Sold to Lone Wolf for 12 Gc
    2. GG drac (will take some time)
    3. 5 angien eggs (for immediate sale)

    Please post your bid here. In case you cannot put it up for some reason pls PM me. I will keep it for about a week and then PM the heighest bidders whom I think has given a fair offer.

    Also would like to know what would one offer for a nameless angien (tainted or whatever) . This one is just for my info not for sale.

    According to [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10541-7-angien-sale/"]http://magicduel.inv...-7-angien-sale/[/url] the minimum amount bid was around 5Sc. Therefore I will stick to that figure nothing below 5Sc for angiens.

  5. Hi,

    First of all I apologies for the fact if I'm asking a question which has been answered before.

    I have been away from game for a while and recently started playing and lot has changed. I also read an announcement on MP level advancement to get a creature upgraded.

    Since I'm one of the slow people playing this game I actually could not max my crits before the (my fault) new rule. So I have my angiens which I cannot upgrade.

    The question I have is this.

    Does all the crits at some point require MP6 to be upgraded? For angiens I understand because of their importance in the game context and many other creatures may be there. But do you think this is applicable for a crit like an dark archer?? I found this pretty absurd when I got the MP requirement as advanced to get to the max archer. (I considered the max archer as a very nice crit for a ritual which is gettable for anybody who is playing this game for sometime. Since most don't get angiens(since MB came up with a reason to block it), dracs or any other rare and powerful ones). Isn't this unfair?

    Does MP advance means if you are MP3 you need to be MP4 and if MP4 one need to be MP5 and if MP5 need to be MP6??

    BP

  6. I have to partially agree with xreig. Since with the latest developments the door has been closed on many things (I'm not saying it's wrong !!) including the angines (people who take there own time to develop crits has a distinct disadvantage because now to upgrade these one needs to be MP6) and dracs (I have one I must say).... I think it is closing the door on the newbies who actually cannot spend much. I'm 928 old and I don't have any thing rare than the drac that I got from DeathRing before he left the game. So unless the age issue balances out properly it should not hand a distinct advantage to the vets. Because I'm off the view that vets are overly powerful in MD which is not what this game advertises.

  7. Hi,

    I want to buy the following crits (with or without tokes)[list]
    [*]Windy

  8. Pip:

    I actually know how to get adepts. I'm not a believer of Hunting adapts as well. I did that when this feature came in and I was like pretty new back then. Most of my adepts are not playing anymore maybe alts of some may be not.

    I will always help any player who asks me if I can help them. But I do not do what the LHO's do or go and say hello as you have mentioned.

  9. I too agree with baiano with this matter. I have been playing this game for sometime now and still cannot get to MP6 because of the fact I cannot get enough adapts. This is what initially prompted only to collect activity days in the game without doing anything else.

    About the creature update I'm pretty sure I saw some announcement or a post saying that creatures which require higher MP levels will be disabled once the player drops back to a lower level. So my question is what is the purpose of upgrading then?

    Also the XP upper limit on MP5 restricts most of these people of engaging in the game properly. (Yeah there are XP lowering rituals but you need some other help from another party I guess and a Wish-point thing as well.) Also I think wish-point is a too valuable thing to spend on a creature. Coz not everybody can solve or get WP's. Even-though its a little common now than earlier times.

  10. I agree with shadowseeker.

    Also I would like if the AP requirement is taken away. I think I'm saying the same what shadow says in a different way. Also if changing the AP is not possible I think it should give access to other areas of Golemus like the cannon etc... where people are not allowed to go usually or restricted (not talking about the drachorn layer).

  11. The long… long… race is a collection of five small inter-connected phases which requires to a certain task. This is not a first in first out quest so take your time think about it and find the answer. Each phase will run for a predefined period of time. There will be no clues distributed in person all the clues will appear in my Q doc under each phase once a certain portion of defined time has elapsed.

    There will be a point system in place and your standing will be published in the forum after each phase. The first 3 to have the highest points will win a WP each. No alts only main accounts.

    Before you start please PM me in game saying you intend to take part in the Long…Long…Race.

    Answer for phase I is Markove Primes + Fermat Primes = 65626

    Phase II has started check my Q doc for more details

  12. Since I had a lot of PM's asking for the solution of the quest I decided to post the solution here.

    [size="5"][b][u]Solution for Dreams of Mystery[/u][/b][/size]
    [b][color="#8B0000"]
    Phase I
    [/color][/b]
    I dont think most of you ppl got through this stage but all most all instead of a few required a clue. The series is a function of (n+1) ^ (n-2).

    The next number in the series is 2401.

    [color="#008000"][b]Phase II[/b][/color]

    You have to find four places in MD with the code word 2401 to get all the ciphers.

    The four places where
    [list=1]
    [*]Fish @ MD Roundabout
    [*]Gazebo of Equilibirum
    [*]Book @ Clash of Ages
    [*]Window Pane @ MDA East Wall
    [/list]

    Most of the ppl(even some veterens) found it difficult to find the fourth place.


    [color="#800080"][b]Phase III[/b][/color]

    This is where the real fun starts in the quest.

    The cipher words received at various locations are not in place. So you have to put them in order before you proceed.

    The order is given below (This was the first clue.)

    [quote]
    1.) BRHR CZPRP JWOY
    2.) QS RW SR
    3.) QCMMFCY WERCRMMFKM MSPPMSQ
    4.) LGESPCE MC FJQ
    Clue 1:- The words in this message is not in order so you have to put them in order.

    The order will be 1.1 3.1 2.1 1.2 1.3 4.1 4.2 2.2 4.3 3.2 2.3 3.3
    1.1 mean 1st word of 1
    [/quote]

    So now the ordering of the words would be changed to
    [b]
    BRHR QCMMFCY QS CZPRP JWOY LGESPCE MC RW FJQ WERCRMMFKM SR MSPPMSQ[/b]

    So after the ordering of the words you have to arrange it in such away that we can furthur decompose it by one more level. For that I gave the 2nd clue

    [quote]Think of the words as a stream of words without the spaces.

    Arrange the stream of words without the space in a 5 column x 11 row matrix and then you will see.

    Try to create the words with the same number of chars as in initial cipher.

    But remember this will only get you closer not the answer.

    Result is another cipher. [/quote]

    Most people though this will directly lead to the answer but it did not

    We have to arrange the stream of characters in 5 x 11 matrix to start reversing columnar transposition.

    The result after the 2nd clue would be

    [quote]
    12345
    1. BRHRQ
    2. CMMFC
    3. YQSCZ
    4. PRPJW
    5. OYLGE
    6. SPCEM
    7. CRWFJ
    8. QWERC
    9. RMMFK
    10.MSRMS
    11.PPMSQ
    [/quote]
    Now we have to reconstruct the string in accordance to the word formation of the above cipher now we should go in a column (We used the rows to create the above block).

    After rearranging like columns we get the following

    [quote][b]BCYP OSCQRMP RM QRYOR WMSP HMSPLCW EM RM RFC JGEFRFMSQC ZW EMJCKSQ[/b][/quote]

    Now this is a ceaser cipher with the RM = TO. Replacing accordingly will get you the correct message and the place you should next head which is the ivory lighthouse. The correct message is

    [quote][b]DEAR QUESTOR TO START YOUR JOURNEY GO TO THE LIGHTHOUSE BY GOLEMUS[/b][/quote]

    [color="#0000FF"][b]Phase IV[/b][/color]

    The code word for the ivory lighthouse is [b]'Its a series'[/b] which will get you to the hardest part of this quest. This part even held one of the best quest solvers (dst) in MD back. May be Mur should give me a medal for that :(

    The map and the dream connects at the first location raven hold and the war hold.

    From that point onwards we have to check the links of both the dream and the map and construct two cubes.

    Btw: Both the map and the dream form a perfect cube.

    Then its a matter of finding the corresponding location which means 5, 2 and 7 on the map cube to the dream cube and to find the corresponding location means Tempest from the Map cube.

    The final solution is

    [quote]
    [b]Map Cube -> Dream Cube [/b]
    5 = Fountain of Dark Vibrations
    7 = Gates of Ages
    2 = Gazebo of Equilibrium
    [b]
    Dream Cube -> Map Cube [/b]
    Tempest = Hersey Lane
    [/quote]

    Its also known as graph isomorphism (one - one and on to graph) in graph theory.

    [color="#FF8C00"][b]Phase V[/b][/color]

    The code word for all four locations is 'Illusive beams'

    Only three people got to this stage. This is just a formality stage and will not last long. One final sentence describes a place to replace the GoA found in the earlier phase.

    This was actually a blemish on my part. Coz I thought that GoA would be programmable. I set the quest in motion and them only I got to know from Burnsy that it is not programmable. So that has to be changed with the brick at the Winds Game

    Once all the words have been gathered you have to put the message in order. There can be different messages depending on where you put certain words. Any message in the form given below will end the quest and result in a WP being awarded

    Any queries or arguments please post in the same thread

    Thank you :P

  13. Thank you all for participating in my quest.
    44 started and 3 got to the end. Congratz [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons//cool.gif[/img] to all ppl who won and to people who at least had a crack at phase IV. I agree phase IV was very difficult.

    Please post your comments in this thread regarding what you think of this quest as a whole. You don't have to finish it if you got to at least phase III then you have at least a very good idea of the total quest. So please comment as it is important to modify my future quests appropriately.

    BP :)

    @Miq I really appreciate your effort in this regard. Sorry for the fact you did not reach the end.

    For the thing regarding the Ivory Lighthouse at GG I don't think its unfair. Everybody know how to get to GG and if you don't know its just a matter of asking. I'm a member of the Guerrilla and I see myself as a citizen of GG. Therefore I think it is important to have GG as small part at least. GG is more accessible to MP3 and MP4 than Necro and sometimes Lore so I think my choice is also correct in this regard
