Dont get me wrong. those didnt asked for the answer.
but i need to answer that so that you will all understand whats with the ancient lore and what the big big issue is. I tried to avoid it, but some people still think i am ignoring their efforts and that i did bad baning the lore.... you will soon find out...i am preparing my thoughts so i say what should be said, but keep something for those of you that know how to look. Who killed Marind has everything to do with ancient lore and why i baned it.

Some forget, some do not know, that MD is a very delicate machinery build on logic gears. It is an intricate mechanism where nothing is random. Such a machinery needs secrets buried at different levels of complexity to work, same as a perfume needs incenses with different times of effect so that together they build a delicate and beautiful sensation. Like notes in a symphony that cant sound random for the music to be pleasant.

Some of you, most ignorant and disrespectful, "veteran" players, think they know better. Building messenger groups and continuing the shit they started long ago and that i really hoped it ended. Well it seems these people continue to fuel such discontent and distorted beliefs to those they still can. No need to give names, but they know I am talking about them.

One of the things that keeps being fueled by such groups is related, again, about how ancient lore is missing and about how bad i did, destroying md, when i baned ancient lore and fairy tales type of things. They complain and bitch about why i have something against about digging up the past stories and inenting things along those lines.

I already said that the "ancient lore" doesnt realy exist, and that what ady wrote after the initial plan is not something i approved... you ignored that.


Because i am full pass the limit with your bitching, i will sacrifice one if MD biggest secrets, one if its main gears, just for you. You will realise how wrong you were, but it will be too late.
In return, i promise you will be sorry you find out the answer, because the questions i will cause after it will puzzle you even more. MD is much more deep than you (*points at specific group*) ignorant and persisting people care to know.


I will tell you who killed Marind and all you wanted to know about "ancient lore". Over 4 years i managed to keep this secret and USE it, now i throw it at your feet to show you something. If you understand what that something is, good for you, if not, keep bitching and complaining.

I appologise to those of you that do not deserve such a beautifull gear, secret, to be revealed this way, but like i said, MD is still much deeper and this secret will reveal new logic mechanisms.

All mp levels.
you cant exit during the test and , stats damage or partial account damage wont be restored or repaired, and massive issues will be fixed within weeks? Scare yet?

if not think also it will cost 1 nonrefundable silver.

If you are still not scared, then you can think this will be the next kind of major competition, like level 2 HC.
The reward for the winner of this test will be the same, or greater, than the one for the competitions later. I am thinking between a morph, wind, stats damage skill, new medal, a rare item related to this, or maybe a combination of these...not sure yet.

This will be a close combat without the advantage of hiding in remote locations.
The purpose of the test is to determine if major logic flaws appear, abuse methods or a tehnical issue with the contest itself. Overall it will be the same with a head contest on this test, nothing to worry about unless you don't like blood and heads splattered allover.

In five years of MagicDuel, i trusted only once someone to work on some of MD code, and that wasnt even the game itself but a separate admin .

I am proud to announce you that finally there is someone that will actively work on MD to finish
features and add new, later fix bugs and even more, i hope. This will allow me to plan things better, but also to manage things better, or work on other features (...and why not maybe later also play yey!).

This person is Rendril, rumors already spread long before, i know. He managed to fulfill the requirements
needed, and they go beyond being just a programmer, programmers i can find anywhere.

Please understand that you should not send him requests, "friendly" favors, questions, bugs, problems, issues,
NOTHING. This will only make him lose precious time and he wont be able to help you, since, paranoid as i am, i will be keeping an eye on what he does. He is forbidden to do anything in favor of any of you, or even fix anything without me aproving first, regardless how obvious the issue is.

It is a delicate role he has. His programmer role in MD world should not interfere with his social role
gained through his efforts. Consider me cruel or ungreatfull, but working on md code doesnt mean he has authority or decision power other than the limits that his own character gained. He will however benefit from different things he works on or tests, thats a big advantage in its own, but its a well deserved one, same as other players have from time to time. For example those that test new features, items etc.

If his social role will be matching his administrative role in md, that should be entirely his merit, so he still enjoys md as what it started.



I will update next on changelog the first MAJOR feature he finished. You will love it. Please remember these are his first steps in messing around with md code so have some understanding if things will go wrong (i dont think they will).

Please... bugs and issues go to forum or me, as usual, unless I say otherwise, or he will end up flooded with such messages and he will crush same way i do sometimes. Respect that request please.

I will write in annoucnements a " - R " to features done by him, and later he will add his own announcements signed also.


Applause go to Rendril

SInce some of you participated a lot of things changed.
I am seriously thinking to re enable HC for all again. I have to find a way to differentiate reward because if you already got a reward once you should not get one allover again, especialy a medal...but participating for fun, or a dufferent reward (maybe items??) should become possible for anyone.

Its a long story, dont start talking about it here, i have my ideas how and when, i just wanted to let you know that it might happen.

Let me put it this way. Amount of new players is NOT decided by the front page. It is a constant, believe it or not. Think of it this way, ads are calculate with a pay per click way, that means if front page is less attractive it will still generate same amount of clicks but will require a lot more views to do that.

Changing the amount of info on the main page changes the kind of players that join. Those to bored to bother with readin it will not join anymore, while those that look for more will be pleased by it. I am just moving the "give-up" point to before the registration instead of the first day after registration.

New registrations increased slightly from about 65 to 75/day, but player kind changed a lot more.

This goes for the banners too. It is actualy much more convenient to have ugly banners with lower click rate than beautiful banners with lots of clicks. This is because you pay for those clicks but not for the views, so a very ugly banner will receive clicks only from people very curious or very interested, while a very nice banner will receive clicks also by people that dont realy want to play anything but are just impressed by the banners. The reason MD has nice banners right now its because of the attitude i want it to have on the market, sort of a brand image, it costs me more (indirectly) but people see it with better eyes than when i used the ugly banners.

So stop with this Mur-wants-people-out conspiracy theories, i know what i am doing.

People, of course its a aprils fools joke.... you should know better, active days wont be ever taken away from an account regardless what else happens to it.

It was funny hearing you worry about it, but i must admit i have weird sense of humor

Interesting post about food and front page all combined. While a more tasty and roasted front page increases the registration rate, it also brings lots of low-medium quality players that expect an other kind of game and don't bother to understand a different one. Weird thing is that registration rate actually increased and i can't realy explain that. Most of the players that stick around more than one day and i asked about what kept them here told me about things on the main page less advertised, such as the small disclaimer text or the principles.

MD search engine optimization is bad, because i don't want to spam it with keywords aimed at an other kind of game. The kind of people that stay in md are interested in something else than a casual game.

Think what kept you here or what made you register in the first place.

Now i find it interesting how vets see everything so collapsed and destroyed, not functional and me trying to drive people away in masked ways, while those not cought by this "MD is boring" paranoia still enjoy it.

I am kind of bored of this all-knowing-everything-is-down attitude.

Think of this, the best players registered while main page was a total disaster and are still around...so let me worry about such things.

The saddest thing is that in a week or so some of you will pm me about "a bug that 90 ap is not enough to enter or upgrade some things". It usually happens with old players not with those new.

The suggestions the kings made are by far better than what i had in mind. I would suggest 70ap for normal players and slower timers. Of course you would say its insane, but only if you compare with whats now. Seeing it "from scratch" is harder than it seems. A new player should discover the game with lower settings and later get it "faster". What you do its like arguing that a new player cant recruit a Grasan on its first day and see that as an issue.

Makes me laugh when you say i am driving people away with such changes...you should see whats coming.
