This is a public reply to the concern of more people that think viscosity is destroying MD viscosity won't change. it is a change that cant be fully understood by old players that knew things one way, but its inteded to change the way md is perceived. The viscosity increases basically distances in the realm, traveling from one place to an other is equivalent to a larger distance, the feeling of "discovery" is strengthen when you adventure in a place harder to access. You complain this is destroying the game...lets be honest, how much have you traveled till now , when there was no viscosity? You notice its hard to reach certain places only now that you got scared they might become inaccessible but while they were accessible nobody visited them. Traveling to get heat is not what i intended traveling for. Quest makers that find it difficult to sustain their clickables will receive a new way to do that much much easier, hopefully within a month, depending on how well my other work (new items and such) goes. Keeping clickables active won't depend on viscosity or far away inaccessible locations. Pickles are not the solution to viscosity, Fyrd is just one man, his items are more intended for special occasions not for "solving" a realm wide "issue". Visc is not a problem/issue that needs solved, it is a concept change that you will have to deal with. There are countless reasons and _side effects_ i am counting on, many of them are not the obvious ones, and i will not detail them. The settings for viscosity might change over time, such as the speed it increases at, but the changes are not inteded to keep ENTIRE md fluid. Those that hope to achieve that have very noble intentions but i advise them to focus their efforts in keeping certain paths open rather than entire areas. Under these updates everything will change, especially things like head contest, quests but also, very important for me, i will be able to keep certain places theoretically open while practically closed at the same time. This means the potential will be there, for who cares. I am sorry I can't tell you more of my reasons, but i am even more sorry you didn't get used already to the fact i actualy think ahead when throwing apparent wild random changes into play like this.

just to mention this, i have absolutely nothing to do with these death. So really dont look for answers or reasons with me as i have no answers to that nor time to investigate. My top priority at this moment (and i mean TOP priority) is to finish the cauldron.

i think a remote item picture upload feature is needed so that artists can enhance items not in their inventory. Uploading art that is not yours is something i won't agree to so for now either transfer the item temporary to the artist or wait for this new feature. . For security reasons the artist should know a portion of the ITC but that will also allow him to remotely alter item image at a later time.just so you know.

only some resource types are affected? (i cant check this myself till monday thats why i ask such questions)

[quote name='lone wolf pup' timestamp='1310835093' post='88078'] Ah well, I will have the answer to if they still have fractions tomorrow. Long as no one find my secret stone spot *holds stones close to his chest while shiftily looking around for xrieg and Aranna* pretty pretty stones.. [/quote] yes pls if u see fractions popping up when collecting resources let me know. it might be a bug with the gathering tool or with the regen..idk yet if someone gets resources with fractions thats bad and i should be informed of it asap (like 1,15 stones) thx

I wish to sponsor this quest (as ruler of the Tb). The sponsorship will vary depending on the winning item. Let me know when a winner is named and i shall decide then a suitable sponsorship. I wish to have no involvement with the progress of this quest or any decision regarding the winning item, thats Granos business. If I consider the item to be "not worthy" i will stil sponsor, the quest, as i said. I need to make all these empty specifications because some tend to think that if i sponsor it means it will be functional or that they get in my grace somehow, or that its involved to inner magic or whatever... "for the record", i have no clue what this quest is about but i appreciate that part where it sais "item be functional in md"..something so many forget when roleplaying nonsense.

from 0 should be .25 from anything else should be minimum 1, and no fractions. (i hope its working as it should, didn't tested anything yet after the recent changes)

A little spoiler from the upcomming future... Stage11 that will be announced this year, maybe after i finish my dev rampage, will bring a new, perfectly integrated way for people regardless of mp, role or citizenship, etc, to unlock the spelldocs. There will be new additions to the ancient spelldoc collection. Finally i have a way to integrate spelldocs the way they should be, as research and not as rewards. More about this in stage 11

if requested i can look that up and tell you what the lowest id coin is...unless this is a quest of some sort..i don.t want o spoil anything if someone doesn.t want me to. a bit of history: the markings on the coins were supposed to serve for a future role/item/ability that would allow someone to identify collectable coins among common coins, and convert or mark them to show that somehow. That role/ability/item was never done but coins are still marked differently and one day that info will serve for such purposes (coin marking, authenticating, dating, etc - role based) (i am currently away with no way to check that id from here but i can do that monday)

I am looking to buy any regenerable materials that I don't already have in my inventory. Buying only from TB citizens, i can't risk to have some non-citizen pass me some timeless dust pretending its simple sand and such, might affect my demonic eternity you know. No need to post here, i will not hold an auction and I will only buy it while in realm. I need the resources for testing so even if i already have them now, it might happen that i will run out of them. I am looking for resources, byproducts but also heat stones (no other stones for now). I will not be considering real market price when purchasing these, this is a limited time need for my demonic purposes and i will not be needing a constant supply over time. citizens only

@Menhir, ..why i ask..well because in a vast complexity of questions and answers that sometimes looks like a dark impenetrable "forest", some questions aim to the end of the road in a straight line. While some questions find their answer fast or get lost in a pool of randomness, other questions take you further and reveal much more. I find this particular one (Why the sun?) to be aiming further away than my current borders. Isn't it then just normal to target outside the borders to see what is out there? For me that's a way of life.

yeah, i'll make sure jester will be packing it carefully, specially, for, you.

[b] Jester can claim the ally back and assign it to whoever he wants (maybe this time he will be there to take care of it)... at the cost of one penalty point. [/b]

I was kind of late so i had to pick from those present. I included Eon too because he has no citizenship and he is a very experienced fighter. I believe this ability will require a long time to fully test and understand so i might need more people for this sort of test. Unfortunately if you people are so slow at getting organized i will need to work with whoever it is. Now i managed to keep this LR only, plus neutral, but next time i will avoid limiting such tests to citizenship because ..because.

the fact that some resources got a seriosu hit from the recent update (some places being on zero already), is balanced by the fact that i increased those resources repeatedly or given them out for testing during the initial period when they were implemented. Its not that tragic and it is a good opportunity to see how painful it is (for the land at least) to gather the entire amount of resources.

1) it could be cause by the delay from when you load the page to when you actualy try to login 2) i experienced the same issue several time, it made me write down what letters don't let me in so to say. Problem is that as soon as i started to do that, it started to work ..so i don't know what is wrong with it. so far these letters were not working: DH, DL, EE ..add yours when its happening but be sure you are 100% sure of them.

they behave the same both in realm and in the outer world. if you deplete a place of water, it will come back eventually. letting resources stay forever at zero would cause a big mess over time. one thing i can do is to make a huge delay till they start over from zero

hold any enchantings till this gets solved. I will pass a bunch of stones to Grido and he will return them to those affected by this bug that announced it here. At this moment i have no idea why its not working ..mine seem to be working fine..so it will beed further testing. Grido meet me in realm to get the stones and also help me test this fully.

the entire spell , regardless of how many casts it has (needs to have 80% of them available) will go into one stone, stone that can cast 2 or 3 casts afterwards (3 if it was created using 100% spell casts available, 2 if it was less). You are storing information into the stone, not power/quantity. The ine using the stone recalls that information , the initial quantity is irrelevant. If you have 1000 identical books, all you need is to read one to know whats inside all. This is the reversed process of that, it transfers all your "information" on that spell to the memory stone. clear enough?

later tonight i am hoping that LR King will assamble the team for testing out this creature (at all levels). However till then, if that doesn't happen, i will conduct some initial tests and stop all abilities of the creature till a proper test can be performed. If anything new comes up let me know. Meeting place for the tests will be obviously in LR but not sure when. Don't worry the creature itself is not bugged, just the ability is not fully finished yet probably, so once its done all creatures already recruited will be fully functional. I am on an other 12h marathon, break at 3h, see you later

Those of you that were doing quests or had a "seed" creature and this public release of this very rare creature affects you in any way, i am willing to exchange the quest reward or current creature by an other one. At this point I know only of Grido being the only one to have the seed/Toxicodendrite before it was released and Zleiphneir that was working on a quest that might have involve it, but contact me if it is the case, or post here.

excellent, so that means it grows 2 points every 30 min... how does that sound

curse, the spell, is a temporary effect that lowers stats as long as it lasts, with no permanent damage after that. In case you talk about something else idk

Enchanting them will go slow also. you should also consider that you can enchant one per recharge interval of a spell.

bah..the things i disclose in anger ..lol pretend you don't know
