[quote name='Liberty4life' timestamp='1338805902' post='113358'] is it allowed to add colors with software? i thought that ya are supposed to draw it with color pencils if ya want it colored >_> [/quote] The majority of items are coloured with software, like the coloured creatures are. I believe this is allowed.

[quote name='Isabella Finch' timestamp='1338808356' post='113360'] Oh, and a small question. The setting and characters are all game based... but is the plot as well? Is this based on a true event that happened? Or is that part made up? And is the newspaper portion true as well? I would be interested in looking into that if it is an actual thing in the game. [/quote] I was under the impression that it was mostly "faked" with some real MD elements. For example the MD Newspaper is true, it was created a while back but is no longer maintained. You can see old issues here: http://magicduel.com/pages/info.mdnewspaper.php

Since we know of no spell, nor other means of doing this, i would say the most likely reason is that he indeed did walk, OR used some method that we clearly dont know about. Eitherway, asking for more information will be entirely unproductive. Just because you dont believe he can do it, doesnt mean he cant. you would probably name numerous things iv done "impossible" because you havent thought of how or cannot comprehend it. And if there were some "state secret" it wouldnt be a very good one if someone told you, because you asked lol

whats the reasoning behind 3 teams? having this number makes it much harder to balance the teams. From what i read, you are assigning people to teams yes? Whats the definition of "devolp" one quest per day, Since you didnt use "create" or "host" it sounds like they just need to continue one from a previous day if necessary. the scoring process sounds convoluted and open to abuse, i can have a private discussion of anyone who wants to abuse this system. if its during 3 days, and you say "develop" one quest per day, that equates to 3 quests, assuming you mean create instead of develop. Why not run it for 9 days, giving each time a full 3 days to do their own stuff. If all the other teams are working on their own quests, there will be a lack of people who are from the other teams, as some people will be working on quests and such surely? there is probably more to say from me

I just spent some time configuring some "recommended" settings to limit spamming. Guest search time has been increased to 60 seconds wait between requests. Guests can no longer see member profiles. Some IP's have been blocked, and such. Long story short, if something broke, and someone cant access it or do something, please ask them to mail chewett (at) magicduel (dot) com

I can post up or send you some issues i saw with it if you really wish.

[quote name='Fire Starter' timestamp='1338468544' post='113233'] But, as we all know, locate isn't quite working on Eon, and in the East [/quote] As we all know, as you said surely, that it works provided he hasnt logged of, unless you have changed your view on what was going wrong with it?

[quote name='BFH' timestamp='1338427034' post='113201'] That's the idea with the meetings Read chat log and you will realize that I'm dividing the quest making and the event to allow everybody participate, create, share something and enjoy it on the way That's the point dear, no need to be rude, I think. [/quote] Yet if the meetings are arranged so quickly, then there will be a distinct lack of help being available...

not exactly, its slightly more complicated than that. Sieg, i trust you used locate on Eon to see what his tracks said? it would seem the first thing i would do, then you could have seen if he moved there, ect.

one days notice wonderful. Can i suggest, in future, announcing events a week in advance, so that people can have time to prepare. I have shedualled something during that timeslot, meaning i cant come, but if i had known earlier i could have done it yesterday, have fun

altered all posts, thanks M

sources are nice Having somewhere we can link saying "X is definately loyalty leader" is much better as you can tell someone why.

was this pre announced? If i had seen it i would have liked to attend, so either i missed it, or it was "off the cuff", And if it was, i would like to register my displeasure. I would have made time to be online and participate if i had noted it sooner, im sure i didnt see any forum posts about it. Specificially i would have raised some issues regarding the whole idea of 3 days for 18 quests... Oh well, from the look of it its all decided...

[quote name='Udgard' timestamp='1338205390' post='113044'] It is kinda confusing though. To me it seems like you may store creatures on alt, kind of like a bestiary.. Or maybe even to later send back to main when you get more slots. [/quote] You arnt allowed to trade crits between your accounts... so im not sure how you came to that conclusion.

[quote name='BFH' timestamp='1338149836' post='113010'] Actually The part of beign death should unleash some sort of quest or journey of the "spirit" to recover his/her life. So in Other words death should unleash a quest to the player. If he/she manage to solve some sort of quest he gets his life automatically. If not he/she would have to wait for other things to happen. IDK just an idea [/quote] Sounds like some basic predetermined path... aka not what MD is MD isnt normal, it doesnt follow conventions, if the simply way is "do this, you become alive" thats boring and average...

You sure? hmm... i must test this.

any locations with 20 as the max can be harvested to 12 14 -> 20 = +6 13 -> 19 = +6 12 -> 18 = +6

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1337982570' post='112876'] I can already think of a few things you could offer which shouldn't drive a huge wedge between paying and non paying players.. For one, You culd add in a non-shared, but limited uses, resource gathering tool. Give it say one item in the shop (so one per reset), have it determine randomly from the basic resources (so not memory stones, etc) what tool it gives you, and give it a relatively low number of uses before it expires, say 8 like the wiiya bubbles (which also don't expire by time, but only by use) Another thing you could have, which you could have multiple of, is basic resources. Say stacks of 6 lumber, water, herbs, etc. Yet another item that is supposed to be available to all are the Fenth gathering items, so they would also be a candidate for this sort of thing. You could add memory stones that grant one cast and don't produce sand on use that already contain basic spells like heal, locate, ghost. There are plenty of other things you could do as well, those suggestions are only about items and MD has a lot more than that for RPers. For example, the structure of the Powerups and Recharges branch doesn't take into consideration Viscosity. There is a lot you could do with that alone. [/quote] That drives a wedge... peolpe buy resource collecting items for money, i would be totally against something like this...

[quote name='Isabella Finch' timestamp='1337976004' post='112873'] If the ghost was sent to his body... Wouldn't it have been where he died? I thought he was killed in a sanctuary? I didn't think the Gazebo of Chaos was a sanctuary... Also, Isn't Sasha a ghost as well? Or are there more than one Sasha? [/quote] There are many sasha's, for she is legion. She casted Lock in Chaos because she can, i personally feel its rather unfair when spar is doing his best, and will be casting GoE as soon as i have my casts back, There are others with it, perhaps they would help.

I was under the impression that images were not loaded from a static location but from a temporary one, so that the images cannot be "ripped" easily. If you look at the creatures page when you have a large amount of creatures it loads all the images sequentially and not, as it would if they were the same image, in "batches" Therefore, assuming it does work like this, it would increase the load time, unless either static images were used, or the system was changed to use the same temporary image.

Sorry to see you go, i was looking forward to working with you.

[img]http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/20830946.jpg[/img] seriously, a reset would bugger up everything that people bought, ect, which for some peolpe its a lot. It would be entirely unfair, unless you are suggesting to REFUND ALL THE THINGS! Edit: images are nice

precisely, lets be relistic here, From all your posts liberty it just seems like you want it everything completely redone... which is crazy...

I dont know about america, but in the UK this period is exam time, most people who are in uni and school are working towards some "end of year" exams. As lone said, this could quite easily be a contributing factor.

This is a post just to inform everyone whats happening with the forum, if lazy, dont bother reading it. Over the last couple weeks we have now had two periods where the forum was inaccessible because our hosting providers disabled us for excessive resource usage. The first time i was performing a backup, and believed that merely the forum has grown large enough to cause a spike when creating the required files. Yesterday we got another spike, about 3-4 times larger CPU usage than normal, for a period of 10 minutes or so. Hosting have no clue what caused it, but suggested some optimisations that i should perform. This topic will be updated as i know more information. Thank you for your patience
