I believe this is due to the Loreroot Festival thingy? Closed if some LR guy tells me it is

[quote name='Mya Celestia' timestamp='1288575897' post='71242'] [color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I've read the announcement several times. It does say that artwork is being asked for, but it doesn't say that wps are going to be specifically given for those days. Yes, it does appear so, but it's an artwork announcement and not an official wp=days announcement. The announcement could have been made to gauge our reaction to the amount of days. It also does not cover alts, but again it's not a wp announcement. My questions are how many players actually make it beyond 80 days, will alts be given wps as well (I hope not), and will the wps be retroactive?[/font][/color] [/quote] I would have thought its pretty obvious that its very likely to have been. if specific days are asked for then its kinda pretty obvious that its going to be on those days. Mur does like to fool with us, but if art is being asked for, its pretty indicative. And if we have said debate early enough, we might be able to change something for the better, no? Anyways, forbidding alts is rather intresting since i know a lot of people who are "alts" yet are not. From what iv heard some alliances will end up very bad because of their interesting policy of account sitting.You could end up awarding only a few wishpoints to the "first" or I would say it would be pretty hard programatically to work out if someone is a true alt or not. Perhaps the "logs" or something will come out and we will again go back to spotting alts? I personally dont think alts getting it will unbalance it too much, and if people purposely do this then im sure there will be some punishment. I agree on the noobs that stay at lower levels. It will power them up but they already had these means from quests. I also agree that certain things should probably be moved back into the shop a bit, but will look at them later and decide what i think.

Nad we arnt dis persuading you, But the list is so large and because the format has changed a couple times the sorting and preparing all the data will take a lot of time. And no one really cares that much to do it. Do it if you want, but i doubt anyone else would want to.

Recently iv been working with the mods to make the forum a much easier place to use. Here is a list of a few of the changes that have been completed: There has been a new Groups and Factions forum created under no Mans land. This is for smaller groups that have not reached offical level but still want a place on the forum (you can contact me for getting a subforum under this title). Some of the smaller groups have been moved into it including The Old University (more of an archive) BOB forum MDNP press sparring ground I have also moved the DS forum to Historic documents since its now history. Contests has been renamed to Aventures and Quests, Post as previous. Each land section should have a general forum. For most matters you can continue to use the No mans land one, But for matters specifically land related, Organising something or talking about something in that land, i would advise using the land specific one. New Players Roles and Legends have been moved into one, these forums saw few posts so didnt have a good enough reason to have 4 separate ones. Kings can contact me if they want any of their land forums changed in regards to Titles and descriptions. Some of them were written hurriedly and at rather late hours, so im fine if you wish any of them to be changed. As with anyone in charge of a section, any changes pm me. [b]I will continue to post changes here, iv got a couple more things to do but would like some ideas on what other people think. Iv seen this forum for years so would like some opinions on how it could be changed to be easier to use.[/b]

Have you seen the massive list of previous winners? No Mod will be stupid enough to decide to backdate this massive number. If you want to do it fine, It will just be a massive thread for bragging. Nothing more because winning the HC is not history nor does it really have any impact.

Well, Shadow did suggest the same, I just was too tired to think of a good way of doing it, so they were named rather badly. Thanks to Shadow for fixing up some of the tags, seems some people dont know where to post things (*cough* grido posting in MB section)

Pinned for its uniqueness May i suggest continuing until 48 hours has passed where no one else has bid on it? that will make it fairer than setting a value or deadline

Yes, please use the land prefixes as posted above. Some of the mods ([i]hint hint[/i]) will get around to changing the prefixes that i hurriedly put on last night.

If you are posting a role, please prefefix the topic with some sort of identifier of which land you are writing for. This will make it easier to see what land you are affiliated to All the other forums of this type have been moved into here, and the topics given a prefix based on where they were previously.

This is the old topic for storynight and therefore has been closed to stop confusion

has no one considered that the server needs monies? God even the forum is 30$ a month, people are doing this anyways, I dont really see that giving out these is going to change much, it will just make it safer for people to do it. I have no clue what the server costs, but its going to be a lot more than the forum. Would you prefere no tokens and such and no MD? if i had the disposable income i would pay for the forum myself, the issue is that i dont. MD is most definately losing money all the time. The question you have to ask yourself is do you want MD running with these things to help Mur pay for it, or do you want it closed because mur just cant pay? Give some thought to the people who pay for these things. The game is free for you, yet someone has to foot the massive server charges. This must help mur, Dont be angry with that.

the short answer methinks is no. The solution is probably to put it somewhere lol

Done All the old posts where the smilies and quote's where broken have now been fixed. If there is any issues with such broken posts you can contact me as usual.

Halfway there now. Estimated Completion time is around 12:30 ST It looks like some of the old topics have actually been rebuilt, so its easier to read them now.

19k Personal Messages done. Onto the 60k Forum posts

And it Begins: 11:08 Servertime I will keep this thread Updated

Tomorrow (27th Oct) the forum will be rebuilt, Hopefully this shall fix some of the older posts. But in the time being It WILL make the forum laggy, but shouldn't stop it loading. During the time it starts i will be on yim (you can view my details on my profile page) and i will be avalible to talk about anything relating, if the forum doesn't load for you i would like to know during this time. It will start around 10-12:00 Servertime and could take an hour or two. During this time please feel free to bother me on yim. I will just be monitoring the progress. I will post as i start, and such. So this thread and ingame will show the details.

I totally agree with Kamisha. Pashweetie you are relatively new to this realm and this idea has been done a lot of times before. We have seen what happened to GGG and other such training grounds and know what the issues are. We are merely asking you how you will make it work, and therefore try and improve your initial idea. As Kamisha said, by putting your idea ahead you are putting yourself up for debate about your idea. If you only want this for signing up, and not to talk about your idea then it will fail quicker as there will have been less of an input into the possible issues and how to solve them. Listen to what people say, and try and accept that we have seen such ideas previous.

So what stops people just attacking? whats their incentive not to break it all up?

personally i think that its lazy randomly picking a protector because their ranking is high. you should know your protector and talk with them rather than just picking the "highest ranking person" Also you get the issue of people picking high ranking people and thus the lower "ranking" people will have less people and drop to mp5. I dislike it, having a protector should be something personal and you should not just randomly select a name from a list.
