Changing a name means a LOT, you could easily reforge a totally new character by changing your name. I think a name, like an avatar is very important. Like with Eigger, I think that name Changes should only be able to be done by Mur because of some serious reason. So my answer is no, A name is special, and being able to change it should only be done by Mur. For the most he will fix spelling mistakes with just a simple email, so i dont see that as a valid reason.

To Everyone, It seems we have forgotten the more recent legends of this world. Just because some didnt Roleplay, Does not mean they did not do good for MD. I may even go as far to say that some people who didnt roleplay did more for MD that a couple asterixes and words (yes i know im just asking for as much spam as possible on this anti RP sentence) But, today my focus is on this gross injustice, Jonn. It seems like no one but me is willing to speak up for him, It seems everyone has forgotten what he did. This is a sad day indeed because Jonn was much more than Just the LHO leader. Jonn sorted out any problems in the realm, if you needed advice or help you could go to him, and he would gladly help with a little bit of humor also. And being the first offical head of the LHO's he was in charge of sorting everything out and his legacy continues in Grido and those well organised helpers. I dont care if you dont think he isnt a legend, But if you can put someone like Ugauga up as a Great for being one of the first LHO's and bug researchers, Then surely Jonn should also be there for the organisation and first offical "rpc" type player. He was the main person you went to if there was a dispute of the rules or anything similar. It seems that these older players are automatically Canonized because of people not actually knowing them, whereas people you know fall by the wayside. Surely a legends book should be passed down so newer players do remember them? I hardly see new people speak of Wodin or BigC (not sure why you have two entries, being the same person) becaues they do not know about them, So if you judge that as a legendary status then really all but Khal should probably go. All in all i think the current methods of picking is rather bad, due to its nature, and some other way should be suggested such as doing this for each player you think should be in the book.

make all your comments about the Legends contest here.

Khalazdad, Wodin, and BigC are the legends, I believe. [/quote] The First ever LHO Overlord? Do i need to continue to explain? Also, did you ever talk to Jonn, he was such a enthusiastic character that i feel that he was a legendary player. And he did a GREAT Job running the LHO's for a long period of time along with the numerous other jobs that he did. I could name a lot of players who knew Jonn and would agree with me on this point.

Jonn was Legend, He is Nowhere near Notable, He did a lot for the game and i think he should be a Legend.

[quote]Oh dear gods, I must be getting old, when I see newbies like [s]Burns[/s] [s]Metal Bunny[/s] [b]Grido[/b] being named living legends... No offense [s]burns[/s] [s]Bunbun[/s] [b]Grido[/b] , but I remember your mp3 newbness quite well[/quote] Surely Living Ledgends are their own legacy? what they have done and are still doing their own legacy. And what stops people just ripping a tonn of stuff from others sources (namely one very informative place where players histories are detailed greatly) It will be intresting seeing peoples viewpoint on the older Vets, interesting to see how far their reputation has gone down the "line" of players.

[quote name='flamewarrior' date='04 May 2010 - 03:50 PM' timestamp='1272984655' post='59388'] i only know of two life stealers, and they either target single or multiple. what if there was a lifestealer that targeted all? it would be costly, of course, but also would be worth it, cuz if the first two levels are single target, then levels 3 and 4 are multi, then the max level could be 5 or 6 with all. no other abilities or auras could be used. it's just an idea, since elementals only target multiple. [/quote] No, just no. Lifesteal attacking Multiple and one means that you can choose to damage the masses, but not hit if you target one person. or one and know that you will always hit. Lifesteal All would have to be VERY weak or it would become VERY overpowered.

[quote name='Lord Beta Wolfeyes' date='03 May 2010 - 11:49 PM' timestamp='1272926948' post='59311'] this would turn the house of liqud dust intothe origonal paper cabin, but now all the ink has run out of the pages, mixing with the dust and dirt, and being held together by the memorys, and souls of writers long gone. making the the house, and the writers guild could restore it to its former glory, and make it a monument(on the inside, or in the astral planeso that the entire starting area dosent have to be changed) to the great works of literature contanied within) [/quote] Have you been inside the house of liquid dust? its not a very nice place and "clearing it up" would probably effect MD's Lore more than you think, its more than just a house.

Happy Birthday Amoran, May you have a nice one

I will help you, because you asked me to

The previous alliance was a research based alliance, But the issue was that it was partially based on the "old" Lore. With this new change the alliance will be reformed in the ideaology that Mur suggested to us all those days ago. Page 472 [2009-05-18 05:32:40 - The Traveler] Apparently without any relation to what happened in Necrovion, Liberty and Chewett gather in a secret meeting at Angien's Shrine. Something is going on with the Egg, or maybe new plans start to be made, few know. Some with a wilder imagination already see the similarities between a floating egg that has been there since the beginning of time and a mysterious floating orb in Necrovion, but is it just foggy thoughts, or is it really something related... Page 473 [2009-05-19 02:27:49 - The Traveler] The egg becomes darker and darker and also heavier or at least looks so because its closer to the ground than before. With a strange feeling of admiration Liberty kneels in front of the Egg. Chewett consideres the scene a bit disgusting as the slime on the egg starts to drop on the ground, but slowly a powerfull respect feeling floods his heart and makes him see the egg with different eyes. Any questions, Help, applications to join shall go to me. This is not an alliance for casual players who want some nice stats. if you want to join you shall learn terrible secrets, but, we wont show you these, you will find them yourself. The answer to all your questions will not be laid out, but the path will be shown, you only need to walk it.

Happy Birthday Yoshi

KB, the system does not just work against you. In something like the heads contest its a global script that everyone is bound to. Meaning that everyone can do it, or no one can do it. Which also means that if people who have won, can. Then there is a bug that needs to be fixed. As i have told you in the numerous pm's you sent me, It looks like unless there is a special type of attack where they can get heads from, its impossible. But you said you have evidence. But you have yet to show it, Personally i doubt that there is more evidence than you reading a log wrong (which happens a lot of the time), But i would like to see your "definite proof" as you called it.

Nice to see you in the forum, and perhaps we may actually talk ingame sometime, apart from just PM's If you need any help, feel free to keep contacting me.

[quote name='Burns' date='30 April 2010 - 07:40 AM' timestamp='1272609619' post='58980'] it's a charade anyways, I'd by no means say that Grido and Chewie are weak fighters, but... well, now i don't know how to end that sentence without saying it...HC was a popularity contest all along, if you have the right friends, they cover your abuses and help you, if you cross the wrong people, you are screwed.By no means is Heads about fighting anymore.Absolutely not. [/quote] Heads contest has never really been a straight out fight, its always been based on who you knew and who was helping you. The reason that HC at mp5 has become a farce is that ANYONE who wants to can EASILY get forth place and $20 and such stat bonuses by just getting a couple hundread score... Something needs to be done, because next month i think that there will be new mp5's that get the Gold HC medal just for being the only ones who participated. and to be honest, Grido got Gold Heads? and Me likely to get this one? WHAT HAS HAPPENED?!?! im not one of the weakest MP5's anymore, about average, but compared to some people like Burns im NOT strong at all...

Come on Fyrd, Its not as if anyone is challenging you to not place. you will easily place because there is NO-ONE else who is actually competing with you. Your biggest problem is people how cant get it again because they have got it before, they cant even gain heads by attacking! If you want to place in the HC, you dont even need to try very much.

Happy Birthday Burns!

[quote name='Sir_Kamil' date='28 April 2010 - 07:37 PM' timestamp='1272479853' post='58826'] today for a brief periord of 2 hours i had -14 rep. i log again to uplad my convivt and im back to normal. [/quote] No, You CANNOT have seen -14 rep Because over the last two days you have Lost 5 Reputation and gained 3 reputation, So at worst you may have seen -10 This is the last two days ofc, Today someone has given you -3 rep and someone have given you +3 rep So again, i dont see how you can have seen -14 rep...

Yes you ARE being paranoid, There have been no people who have looked for your posts and neg repped them. Please do not make such accusations again without substance because it wastes my time.

[quote name='Sharazhad' date='28 April 2010 - 09:32 AM' timestamp='1272443541' post='58782'] [i][color="#2e8b57"]*points at the specific group* Thanks!!! Now look what youve done!!! for those of us who utterly abhore hearing the answers to puzzles before we solve them, or dont care to know who killed Marind - we're gonna hear it anyway because YOU LOT *points at the specific group* will go on yabbering about it for weeks afterwards and having pointless, drab discussion about it be it here on the forum or in game and spoil it for the rest of us. Thanks...Thanks a lot! [/color][/i] [/quote] Unless you are Joking, i will very rudely say you are too young to have seen the damage naming and shaming had last time. its happened. GET OVER IT. [quote name='Yrthilian' date='28 April 2010 - 01:48 PM' timestamp='1272458916' post='58797'] Funny This calling for naming and shaming. If this had happened 18 months ago i think i might have been one to say the same. But i have seen much and learned much in MD and this i can now say. DON'T name and shame. It is just a waste of time. [/quote] Yrth knows that fact that naming and shaming does nothing, as i would hope a lot of others do.

Note to whoever closed it, Even thought it worked well back then, saccing a crit and then losing 3000 Principles is an annoyance and i would say it probably wasnt entended to do that. Even if it was entended to make people with more than 4000 lose more than lower principled people.

well, it makes sense but is utterly stupid, Since all the time you level a creature up you lose 3/4 of your principles... Perhaps it should be changed back so it defaults to 4000 OR just make it so it wont actually go over 4000 when saccing.

Did you sacrifice something to make it go over 4000? Because then i would have changed it back down to 1000, since anyone over 4000 got it reset back down to 1000

[quote name='Blackwoodforest' date='28 April 2010 - 06:50 AM' timestamp='1272433827' post='58763'] Names Mur, give us names! Name and shame them who treaht our secrets, all shall known the ignorants. [/quote] Everyone can point at everyone else and blame them, for we are all partially to blame. Most Vets would *LIKE* the old lore back because that meant you had things to rely on, to research and to build off of. But, When you realise WHY you cant have the ancient lore, it makes a lot of sense. Its no point letting someone write a story and keep it as [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_(fiction)"]canon[/url] because it wont fit it. Take the Ancient lore as it is, a nice story, that COULD fit into MD very well, But then fact is its not offical and you have to ignore its effect. And naming people always makes things worse, for then you have a target for anger and it becomes a witchhunt. Which is even more pointless because it seems that Mur has already made up his mind.
