MRF.

on the opening or close the I personally I'd say open it for a little while see what happens. people don't brother with it then go ahead close it tell people start wondering what is beyond the howling gate again. if mostly just the people who were part of the land visit leave it open. more chances of something happening from this that way. if people go crazy and rush in to steal everything not nailed down... after the first rush of looting that is sure to happen, go a head and close it. though in any case it may be best to leave the graveyard open for those who have it but remove that wish from the shop. no sense in screwing over people who are possible not a part of this at all. and no I don't have that.wish or unspent wish points.

I'm going to throw thoughts in this 1. I was gone for a year and came back a few weeks ago... and it's been a pain to find anyone even chat with so I would say yeah roleplaying is probably at a low point 2. as far as " blue text not equal roleplay" your right but doing nothing doesn't equal anything that is why it's call nothing, anyone who wants to even imply that stat griding is a role please send me cash and your adress so I can try to beat some sense into you or at the very least bleed of a little stress 3. as far as the "god moding" thing goes that cames from not knowing how to role play at least for me it did, if you take the time at least some would probably stop 4. as far as any bitching about what anyone does with their time, grow up, you don't like it don't be a part of it. note that means not talking about it too, you want gossip make a topic on it 5. if you take the time and talk with newbies who are willing to talk you may be surprised at what you find... as long as your not to trying shove anything down their throat [b]disclaimer:[/b] this post is not about anyone, or any post just my thoughts on what I've read in this topic, if you have any problems with it... I don't care. if you agree with it great... I'm still not to worried about it. if you have a thoughts that actually are a thought not bitching or saying someone else is bitching. lets see if we can turn them into anything real p.s. I am reminded of some thing I read once. opinions are like penises everyone with a firm one wants to stick it in someone else p.p.s yes, that slightly dirty joke has a point if you can't see it I don't care. if your young and it warped your mind, your welcome and tells your parents I'm sorry, now go read/ watch a little George Carlin, and read a few books by this guy [url="http://www.wickedjester.com/category/Books-66."]http://www.wickedjes...egory/Books-66.[/url] it will finish the job p.p.p.s jester is right

true md is nothing without the people, but then again truthful this only affects a few a important few but still only a few how many accounts are with major ties to a land compared to the number not? and I don't mean just in a alliance I mean really tied to a land p.s. lands turning evil? about time things may get interesting again p.p.s. another old adage, enemies make you stronger

it is strange that I'm the one who is going to say this, more so when I agree with your point but.... are you all newbies this week, contests in md have never been fair, in fact they have always been outright unfair. and why did it take so long for this to pop up I would think since skilled in md at times seems like who can find a flaw and abuse it the most. it would have happened a long time ago. so please don't whine it is annoying p.s. it may take a while for me to reply but please bring the comment on, I am bored this week and have a point to make

Udgard I'd advice a large dose a caffine and a bucket of cold water because I am fairly you can be fully awake and say that and believe it, though you are right about t.s, I have never had a soul weaver probably not going to get one any time soon, but i know even when it works the t.s. will be like a band aid on a broken leg, I'll be frank I am very tired of people pussy footing around and basically saying anything to keep it the same, it is broken when things don't work as they should you fix them, that is how it is surposed to go. now so you don't think I'm just blowing smoke because I'm bored or something equally retarded, I know basicaly how creatures work, don't ask me for numbers I don't worry about figures they annoy me, but losing in round 0 because I am NOT in any shape, way, or form a damn stat grinder has NOTHING to do with what I know or don't know so please if you going to say that bullshit to me at least tell me you are high first because there is no other reason for you to do that and lie to me and the fact you think I am dumb enough to fall for that is very insulting so please don't do it again. it is quite rude.

*laughs*I've heard the shouldn't be caps more times then I can count and topics like this keep poping up, if people want to a admit it it or not no capping stats is probably the worst thing you can do to the combat system, it is easy to point out flaws with roleplaying because even I'll admit it is basically unsupported sure there are things in place that could be used but they are useable enough to really help, but the combat system is equally screwed it is just made that way and hasn't been fixed yet. to clarify so people don't say things for the wrong reasons, few people wining all the time is NOT a balanced combat system, I don't want the "even the newest newbie can bat the oldest vet" line to be bullshit. any more it has more or less been that why since I was a newbie and has only gotten worst, too be truefully I stoped brothering to even try to keep up about this time last year oh and you still don't seem to understand just how big of a cut i mean, I should lose a good bit. but I don't know maybe my wanting things balance out are counter to mur's wants, I have been yelling about this for long enough that it seems possible

ahh, I am glad you bought up that line it has been pure b.s. for a very long time. it should be ether gotten rid of, after all how can keep newbie if we lie to them off the bat? or just go a head and actual put a hard limit on stats, the problem with that is whiny vets who can't stand the idea the limits need would possible show they aren't as bad as they think they are. and new stats griders who would whine because they can't see the number though truefully the answer to the 2nd is simple. just instead of the current system of training each stat by it's self, training a pool then having the player set them themselves and just limit the max useable at a time. number goes up battle system isn't messed up.

how common isn't the problem, hell, in theory one does NOT need a new power or aura or even something as powerful as a angien to beat a army of rustgolds. not to offend anyone because the ideas are good I wouldn't mind seeing them simply to hopefully see some interesting rituals but your wasting your time. one can do all this with any all hitter sure the auras are a pain but easily fought. your attacking the symptom not the root problem

glad to hear your back

but burns... then the u.s, armed forces have to hunt you down to keep their dark secret from the little army brats

I blame..... *paranoid twitch* someone who lives where it snows, that the answer, *another paranoid twitch* their making fosty right now

Uniqueness

haven't gotten to speak with you in a while but happy birthday anyway

have a happy birthday or I will find you and beat you with something

thank you all, now if only I could get verizon to hurry up and set up my home internet I could bug you more oftend

true, it is annoying when things like that ruin a otherwise possibly good idea. oh well it will give me something to think about on the way home, though if I remember right at least some items need to be approved before being made if ip addresses were checked it maybe could help(not a perfect answer but a partly one) or maybe a number of active days needed before a item could be made to at least slow it down

[quote name='Kafuuka' date='09 November 2009 - 03:05 PM' timestamp='1257797148' post='47105'] WP thing: this will need a lot of tweaking. Many people don't write their papers in the first ten days and veterans have a better idea of what a WP is worth and what they consider the best use of it. It will also ruin the item creation process if every alt gets 5 WP (+1 from BPP). Why would you ever use one of your own WP for an item again?. [/quote] I think there is a rule about this. but then again I would hate to cause unneeded work

sure, it gives us something to do when not much is going on or at least a target when needed p.s. am I the only one amused at dst sounding just like the people she is yelling at

but that is what dst does and MD would get more boring if she didn't. oh and I tend to agree with the don't ignore the system but I understand why people do it

true but wish points already exist in MD. and what is the point of a shop that is never used. I said 5 because I like 5 as a number for anything a lower number would problem be better. and isn't what I meant this for there to be more wishpoints out there? personally I don't think it would spoil the idea I think it would be better for it because there would be more then 5 people with a decent number. then again the only way for ether of us to know what it would do is see it happen. I am not much for saying thing are bad because in theoy the worst case is.. actually I am have trouble figuring out what that is in this case, newbie being stronger then vets with spells? that is easy enough to fix

no remove very bad idea limit maybe a good idea but that leads to other thoughts...

this may be asking for too much but a month or so ago I had a thought, maybe more newbies would stick around if the could have their rp reflected better in the the fight system. their are a few ways to this the best one I came up with was giving out more wishpoints. like say 5 for finishing story mode at mp 3 then 1 or 2 every time the go up a mp.(execpt 6) that way they could spent them on spells that would fit them and they would have reasons to go a up the mps just a thought

as far as tainting by special poison I agree with the point azrael made. as far as the putting aside the elite thing I also agree and far as rituals go, remember this would be a warrior alliance, warrior's have rituals yes but the tend to be more minded to what makes sense then anything else. and any eating of the dead. warrior would do that to gain the strength of who ever their eating. if your trying to make t.w.into a group of (un)holy warriors. it makes a lot of sense.
