Sir Blut

I hope all who are able have taken of some time to visit the scenery new to the realm (although one could assume these were once lost, given their appearance).
A simple task, then - draw a simple map of the new scenes, and present them here. There should be two such maps - those with coordinates beginning with 9_ and those with coordinates beginning with 5_. Consider that artistic nature is not part of the criteria for judgment - one rather prefers accurate placement and proportionality, similar to how one would expect in a map of other lands.
Twenty five such scenes do exist, and Mur has announced the prize will be a single custom scene of one's desire, with the deadline for such a task the thirtieth day of the month.
 
 
An additional, and simpler task: Name the scenery; although one cannot usually title the scenery eponymously, one may do so in a subtle manner. Provide within this thread the coordinates of the scene to be named, and a suggested title, along with an optional explanation of why the title were fitting.
The best single name of any scene (as determined by royal decree) will earn 1 wishpoint, and the best single name of any scene as determined by popularity (i.e. total number of votes whether positive or negative) will also win 1 wishpoint.
 
The closing date for entries will be, similarly, the thirtieth day of the month in which this quest is announced, although comments may continue to be made in this thread after the closing date.

I played the game 10 years ago, and due to some changes in my life, I had to stop playing, forgetting everything in the process including the name of the game itself. I had been thinking for a few months that I wanted to come back but I couldn't remember the name nor find it on MMO pages where I originally found it, It almost felt like If I just imagined the whole thing (which wouldn't be weird considering the nature of the game lol). I finally managed to find it, I don't know how the player base is doing, but honestly I come back with a lot of excitement to grab pen and paper and spend hours on this 
 
Hope you all are doing great!

MD always been a game for a specific type of person. The younger gen z and gen alpha have little attention span, watch skibidi toilet and play roblox so idk maybe it appeals more to an older demographic now. 
Personally I found MD through an ad on armorgames many many years ago however I do understand that in the long run advertising temporarily boosted MD's player count but most people didn't stick around. Quality over quantity.
Word of mouth could be good if you have any friends with similar gaming interests though that didn't work for me and that was when it was very active. If anyone streams or does something like tik toks making MD content may get it out there more but with low player count it may not be that enticing.
I do believe that there's a lot of potential players that would enjoy MD still but don't know about it. Players that enjoy tabletop RPGs specifically i think. It might seem a hopeless cause but I'll always retain hope and login as long as the servers are still up.

can we somehow bring more players here? i dont know how ,any ideas?

It would be nice to be able to see either publicly or privately on profile page under an avy (or when hovering over avy on profile page) the artist that drew it just to pay homage to current and past artists.
When I see a really nice avy I always wonder who drew it. It could also potentially help said artist to get more work commissioned.

This can be closed, I found it! It was Blackthorn not gonzalo that was commissioned.

the wires of Eggdar... 

current abilities, online player awareness, scene vision.

Currently suitable for community events, organizing riddles, some quests. 

It is not aware of md history, or any secrets. It can not move..yet.. 

It does have memory, so be careful what you test on it, it might remember you in unfavorable ways... consider one day you might need to pass it during a quest or something   ..play nice with Eggy

They added a black cat and Handy Pockets got one

Could work kind of how things work for the player when they are a citizen of a land, like take the land bonus and apply that to your mountable creature. Or build up heat to use to ride the mounted creature 

It sounds like a cool idea.
Could also be used to grant access to certain locations or mechanics, such as heat veins.

I personally like the idea and think it could help boost some activity , an optional extra thing for people to do that requires you to take care of the pet. They could grow with age. Personally I'd like a cat or a parrot. Or maybe these should be unique MD pets not found in RL.

I had an idea sort of similar to this one but I  think it's different enough to make a separate post. Mounts. For example a horse or a dragon that you also need to take care of, feed, water it. It would have it's own set of AP (either not much or a decent amount with longer cooldown. Maybe enough to just get through one side of a land to another) that is spent when you are mounted instead of your personal AP. Would require rest and food and water to regenerate it.
It should maybe require a quest to earn one, a ritual or building one. Shouldn't be very easy to get. Maybe an icon next to playername or avy to show you are mounted or a automated text in chat like
"*playername mounts mountname*"
I would personally use it mostly for RP purposes and wonder if anyone else thinks this is a cool idea.

Ahahahaha omg i got a genuine wp!
 
Ok now i owe everybody some pics
in my defence i have to mention that i built the entire shed myself, not just put some tubes on a ready made roof.
 
Next plan is a water tower for pressure

that could work .. Christmas time sounds a bit better than md birthday in terms of free time..or not? Planning it for later is good because gives everyone time to decide.
maybe i could prepare some signup thing, so we are sure we can count on a number of people.
 
Its funny if you think of it, as if the person is the mask for the player character, not the other way around. We should find a way to present it as such , like a reversed masked carnival party.. not sure if i am clear enough, i'm very tired rn.
 

I think @Muratus del Mur and @Sir Blut have brought some great ideas to the table. Perhaps we should put some effort into this and these ideas, also since there is a greater player presence during the holiday season...  Maybe plan it for or around a holiday. Or would it be more appropriate to schedule this for the MD birthday? I kinda vote to plan it on MD's next birthday. That should give plenty of time for planning. Work and home keep me plenty tied up, but I could aim to set something if somebody would like to help me. I welcome some help.
 Lets make this a ritual things every year for MD birthdays! A new MD tradition? I think yes.

You know what could be interesting?.. to join a video meeting without knowing who is who, no playernames.. and find out just much later or at the end who was who

Actually, since you mentioned "Zoom" that honestly sounds like an amazing idea. I don't recall ever going on a zoom meeting with everyone from MD. That would be a phenomenal idea and feat to pull off. Would really be great to chat, even if briefly. Would add some depth do us as individuals. 
Like you said, from 20 to 40 we are different people at those ages. 
Maybe a vote is in order to see if everyone is OK with a Zoom meet and greet. And see what time frame works best for everyone. May need to plan for two meetings, to cover everyone. 

I think we the remaining population, those of us who remain loyal and supportive of MD and wish to never see it fade away.
I think we should all have a get together when time allows. I really feel that we need lift up and give some praise to Mur and Chewett. They have and continue to do a phenomenal job with all things MD. All these years and MD still stands strong, even with a now small population. Those of us that remain call one another friend and would have otherwise never meet and have had the joys of sharing our spare time with each other. We've lost many, but their memories remain here in MD and forums and in our hearts. 
I really don't think any of us would say otherwise, it's not said or showed enough our gratitude to the contributions These two have done. Now I know there have been others in the past and of course now currently. But from my view point it has always been these two, @Muratus del Mur and @Chewett. These two are like the mom and dad of MD.
I'm happy to say I've grown up with my MD family. I was in my early 20's then and now reaching 40. MD is a very solid staple in my life as I am sure it is with many others. I hope to never have removed. 
Maybe we can come together soon before the holidays take form and our time and have a moment together and if nothing else say a few words. Put our mind sets back at the beginning and be thankful for all the hard work and effort involved in what we all partake in and enjoy for so so many great years! 

Happy birthday, to my fellow Warrior of Light

Happy birthday Sir Blut!
