Muratus del Mur

14. this project belongs actually to the chinese army that is trying to keep americans and europeans busy while they take over the world. EVIDENCE: there is no chinese translation of MD

15. Mur is actually a pseudonym for a group of people taking turns on one character to screw with your mind and avoid profiling

16. Fyrd Argentus is an alt of Mur, ..you have a MD character too? then so are you.

17. There are so few people left in MD because the last level of the game is played outside the web interface, usually players never win that level....

18. there is a cow creature and a milk resource but its invisible

21. there are no secrets, but making noobs think there are keeps them curious. (read show of force topic if you start believing this to much lol)

this is the worse thing i could possibly do .. use the forum as my personal notepad.

I want to put items on deserted characters back in play.

solution:
items can have the land mark on them and return to a central dispatch place when their owner goes missing in action for more than x days.
some items could be for temporary use directly

issue:
some items are role or character specific or of great personal value to the owner. Some dinosaurs paid a lot for some items or won them as rewards, and they might not be always active but when they return once a year , it would be a tragedy to find their beloved item on someone else.
Trading temporary use items would be a major issue.

why:
to increase amount of items among active players, lower their value and increase their use. Tool shops could also be an option later where you would go an pick an axe to get some wood, and only after you get enough woodcutting skill you could get into woodcutters guild to be able to gather also other materials or manufacture things out of wood (for example).

i am currently thinking to slowly detach the tools from the guilds and keep guilds for other purposes related to that resource, purposes of a more managerial nature. For example if anyone could do a "woodcutting activity/job" then resources will be more open..but what could the guild do then to still be relevant and important... i want to keep the guilds yet spread their current gathering abilities to anyone (limited by wp, skill, etc).

One idea is that guild is the only one to assign tags related to its activity, give AND TAKE tools, etc. Monopoly over the role not the resource.

i am DELETING any recipes submitted in any other way other than how i asked them to be submitted. If its so hard for you to understand a basic subject naming rule, why should i bother implementing your recipe for a test.

Also, recipes sent through other methods other than forum pm will be also removed. (no in-game pms, messenger, email, etc) I don't care if you print it and send it by pigeon, i asked for it through forum pm, thats the way it should be.

for the initial test i don't want any of you to lose resources if things go wrong, so i will need moderators that can keep an eye on what happens. If a device fails or a recipe dramatically fails in logic or purpose, its pointless for any of you to lose anything.

[i am posting an other topic about the use of these items, that one needs to reach a conclusion before i release these new items on a larger scale]

I want to advertise MD in a "themed" style. Here is the new series of banners , let me know how you like them
The reasons behind why they are so i don't want to explain here and now..i know they are not really commercial and such but i hope they keep md spirit.
The advertising will be paid per click, so the purpose of the banners is not to get most clicks but to get most interested/ing players to click them, eliminating certain others.

(ps. yeah there are more with necrovion, pretend you didn't notice that)

Stage 11 in my point of view needs 2 major events:

1) Magic concept change, temporary spells, and memory stones.
2) MP6 system changes.

Explaining point number 1:

Well the game is named MAGICDuel. Magic is supposed to be a big part of it. Without the latest announcements MD wouldn't have spells. Only old vets or people with a good experience would reach spells, but now all is different. We can gift an enchanted stone and even a newb could cast a spell, and that is FANTASTIC!

Second point:

Well most of the people know I was mp6 for a long time. I know that system limits the protector in a Lot of ways. The new system I hope fix that and make mp6 a bit more interesting. It's part of MD and should be implemented ASAP.

BOTH makes the perfect scenario for a new era (stage). Protectors enchanting stones and gifting them to people (as I see it) to loyal adepts and warsheeps A more public magic, happy players, a Bigger MagicDuel.

I don't know if that's the main reason why stage 11 is not yet in place but it's definitely what this games NEEDS :

As Burns said: The new MP6 release !

Creatures require MP level to advance!
Creatures will require from now on a minimum MindPower level do upgrade depending on their level. Some will be upgrade-able at MP3 but most levels will require a higher MP.

Acquiring memory stones
Aranna and Lone Wolf were granted the stone detector item to be able to gather the memory stone resource and make it avaiable on the market (at prices or requirements they decide). This is not a guild, it is a freelance activity and a temporary way to make memory stones available and analyse market evolution and use. The tools can be taken away from them at any time but their trade benefits and/or gathered stones will remain as their reward. Aranna and Lone Wolf are supposed to be competing traders of the Memory stone resource so be sure you check both their offers when you wish to aquire a memory stone from them. This is experimental, discuss it on forum.

Memory stones seems to be changing the way MD might work out.. although I think the cauldron would have been better it isn't fully developed yet >< haza for multi-steps to meet an end result.

What is reality?
The new "RP Reality requirement" is an indicator that reminds you that some things are more real than others, even in a fantasy world, depending on how many observe the same "reality". How well you are anchored in MD's reality or how careless you are about your role-play, will probably determine your future in the realm, but for now it is just an indicator.

- intimate: 2 or less people, rp is unrestricted, reality is irrelevant between two people if both accept the fantasy.
- loose: 2 to 5 people, rp can go wild but common sense is required. As long as the other few accept it, most things are ok.
- moderate: 5 to 10 people, rp is considered real only if it is based on proof or good logic. Your avatar may give you elements to support that logic, your inventory items, a very well established role in a clear and distinct activity, things in the current location/scene, abilities you posess.
- strict: 10 to 30 people, only real things, unrefusable to anyone present. These are the things you can do based on your actual abilities such as spells or special interfaces, actions supported by your inventory items, fights, and other interface supported actions. Simple logic without a real base to support it is not enough to form reality under this level.
- real only: 30 or more, in large groups, only what you can do in such way that is undeniable by anyone observing it, can pass as reality. What you do under this level should stricter than the strict level and as real as it can get, so that nobody can say or think "no you couldnt possibly do that" or "you are making things up".


Fantasy is not chaos and sometimes is more real than you think. Understanding what "real" means or should mean, is a big step ahead to understand what "fantasy" realy is.
now...this post should go somewhere to be remembered but not sure where ...forum? rules? nah its not a rule ..yet [/quote]

RP reality feature, along with the show of force revelation of what MD and the carnival is, sets a new age in RP and "reality" in MD.

There is a lot on the horizon, but the biggest changes during stage 10, which do now seem to be complete, are the changes to the combat system.

- Click-and-drag interface
- Species Limitations
- Aimed Hit changes
- Angien changes
- UP/Vampiric Aura changes
- Other minor adjustments
- Lots of bug resolution

You could declare the combat system issues resolved, and move on to stage 11 where all that other good stuff awaits us.

somewhat close to what lone wolf said, I consider it the addition of the resources, then the addition of the cauldron to use these resources up to make new 'objects'.

this is how I'm thinking : the resources have lead to people collecting (not sure if wood was there before stage 10...) and the collecting to a new market item and new trade, the stones in particular have lead to newer players being able to cast magic and enjoy it's joy, it also is almost the only thing that has lead to the appearance of the fusionairs , also the water resources has lead to a guild being formed...

and as for the cauldron, even though I know that many people have the ability to make items in MD, what this cauldron makes is not items, it makes.... basically, it makes anything, can do anything, and all it requires is a few resources, this cauldron makes MD even more free as it introduces a 'make whatever you want yourself' system, and so, these changes to MD, it's market, it's game play, it's players, it's guilds, and it's objects are all vast enough to make it go to the next stage

as for the viscosity, it is a big change, but changing the way of how people go from place to place is not exactly a HUGE change, sure, it has massive effects on exploring, but it doesn't affect ALL of MD directly, and so I don't think it could be the change Mur meant =)

I think we're not quite there yet, to me the big bang to introduce 11 would be the new MP6.

Till v.1.0 game stages were called "alpha stages", now they are called "Stages". Currently we are in Stage 10. MD is, as i mentioned before, in "perpetual alpha". There will always be features in progress, major updates to the gameplay, bugs, issues, etc etc.

The stage advances when enough updates happen, enough time passes from the last stage change and when developed features significantly changed the gameplay.

I intend to move MD to the next "level", Stage 11. As always, this can happen sooner or later depending on your feedback.
Since stage 10 started till now, a lot of major changes happend that changed MD a lot and a lot more features are in progress. Other things remained unfinished or incomplete, sadly it always happens.

To make it more interesting this time, I will make this post into a challenge. Read the announcements and see what could be a major enough feature, update or gameplay change to consider stage 10 to be "enough" and to move on to stage 11.

Reward .. a symbolic silver coin

I hope you will feel good looking over the past announcements and see how many things changed. Lets see who is the first one to find the best reason. Do not double post, read what others have posted first.
