>.> Thanks guys...

I'm a consistent monthly contributor to MD, and from my perspective, the big tombola-type event would be fantastic (Option 1, variant 1). To me, I don't really spend the credits terribly often because I don't feel like I need very many things from the shop anymore. But, I still let my credits build up as support and on that basis of "I might have a use for these one day..." So, I think something really big that come about from continually doing this, but not too frequently (200 instead of 100), would be like an extra incentive to keep on. AND, say we get up to that point and get something really awesome - further incentive to do it again. Issues... Well, I certainly understand that option 1 isn't the most friendly to non-paying players.. but, I do not think that a Free Credit lower limit ticket is the way to solve that, because that just means double prizes for people who buy credits AND use free credits, and that's not really balanced either. So yes, it leaves the possibility for free players to get involved, but I think realistically they would not become involved because 200 is a LOT of free credits. I do NOT like a rift between paying vs. non-paying players, though if this is the path to be taken it will likely be a wonderful reward for those who contribute the most. And of course, the option of giving people tickets to the second level for things other than money would be an option. One more thing to consider is that players who may be unbalancing things due to their extreme use of the item shop (myself included most likely), will be the most likely ones to get the bigger prizes...just making that gap bigger. Food for thought.

80~ xP

Eh, my offer stands. ; Just as cash instead of credits.

-snickers- I'll give ya 60 creds for another windy, dst

I would love to offer some services to you, Curi. I'm not sure who you have that knows what, but I certainly have a handful of people I feel deserve to be remembered in some fashion and perhaps a thing or two I can tell you about them as well. fyi though, I don't check forums much. You're better off catching me at the Road.

So...what about some sort of "Generator" outside the lands? That is, a small group of people that constantly seek out more wp codes that they can use to sponsor people outside the regular lands in their quests. I suspect it would be hard to set up, and harder to maintain, not to mention it would probably get "abused" by Land Alliance people wanting to use it if it worked well enough... But, unless another method is found..? Just a random suggestion. Or perhaps set up a regular barter agreement of sorts where kings give a certain number of Tasks that can be "Traded" in for wp codes, similar to the Pickle Points system. These tasks could be like regular quests I suppose, or they could be things that benefit the Realm more. Something like, "find a new place to promote MD from" or "teach a new player for a week straight out of story mode", etc. Again, potentially abused, but a suggestion none the less. EDIT: You could also sort of combine the two ideas, of course.

It's the armor I'm pointing out... Straight out of the Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide. The armor is the same in all three images, and the pose is very similar, yes.

By chance, has anyone noticed this heavily followed avatar in the game? (I believe it belongs to Kittiness...)

[quote name='Curiose' date='10 August 2010 - 11:17 AM' timestamp='1281457075' post='65616'] Are you going to make a contest out of this, or a... concert of sorts? [/quote] ; The most original concept behind the Bards and Musicians dates back to one of mine and Saki's first meeting with Knatty when we talked of organizing a Knattish Concert to listen to the Knators sing...sadly, that never happened, and I still would deeply love to see it happen (and vaguely did with the advent of Knatty's Fight). But, on that same note, I am not a 'leader' of the Bards and Musicians. In my mind, they shouldn't need a leader, only a central point where the people can find the results of their work. Having said that, I probably wouldn't bother to organize a competition, though a concert might happen if the people wanted it. Though, again, I wouldn't be responsible, only the means to make it happen...if that makes sense. I'm not trying to push things off or anything, just how I feel...

[quote name='I am Bored' date='29 July 2010 - 11:04 PM' timestamp='1280462690' post='64778'] you might be able to get renavoid to step back up to his old post as chief archivist..... [/quote] I would like to take this opportunity to point out that, even if you convinced *me* to come back, there are others who would never permit my return.

[quote name='Curiose' date='09 August 2010 - 05:26 PM' timestamp='1281392779' post='65498'] Mya Md'Ized the JingleBells song. You should get that from her, or look for it on Ailith's Contest thread. :3 It's quite funny. [/quote] I know. I was with her when she was making it up. I hope she'll sing it.

5 silver for the imp

I'll offer 5 silver for Amaethon

*FINALLY* uploaded this new song. It has been ready for quite a while now. Haha! There are still more songs waiting to be finished... Everyone's time shot, I suppose... or something.
