so, by your definition, making artworks combining other works, isn't artwork? you do not know what art is, then. furhermore, it is not your place to be concerned over this. This wasn't done in secret, so you do not have to speak instead of Mur as the 'investigator' who found out about it. You also haven't quoted any copyrights that clearly show WHAT we aren't allowed to do, you were just making random thoughts. But, no matter the law or not, if Mur tells us what he wants to be done with it, I will do it (remove or leave the art.), since I am not that kind of person to continue the blind following of a law and abuse its holes. This is about... common sense.

and what's the issue of using MD symbols for MD events? since Mur never mentioned EVER anything against that kind of acts... and you're in a visit to him, so you can ask him directly about opinion on this, without bringing number of hypothesis

MD artwork used for symbols of our guilds/gatherings as MD characters. (I personally will never use any of artworks from MD for something outside of this realm) If that is a problem, Mur just message me and I'll change whatever that needs to be changed. Tho in that case I would please you to make me sure what are the limits (what is allowed and what is not, since for example using other people's avatars in papers or whatever would also classify as art stealing?)

--picture removed due to following events-- I announce founding of the Rangers of Loreroot. From now on, it will stream to collect the finest fighters of Loreroot, its elite army, with high requirements to join yet at same time also a school for those who want to be 'worthy'. It's first leader is Sparrhawk, its structure will be explained to its members, and developed based on its increasing size. Contacting him if you want to join. summary: ---- it is an honorary guild, for those who don't know, it will NEVER be a new alliance ---- ---- Loreroot citizens only ---- ps. thank you blackwood forest for making the logo

happy belated birthday! (was off the town for couple of days)

happy birthday, oh legendary one!

Avatar will be sold on Monday, if no new offers by then. (every new offer from now postpones the sale for 3 days)

there are much of things to read here which I skipped so I'll just share my opinion if anyone cares. What's wrong in GGG is that it creates sort of contest in people "ooooh I gotta train so that player X doesn't get better than me!" and a player starts wasting his/her all of time there instead of concentrating on some other things in the game. It's one thing if you go there to fill your needs and max a creature, and it's other if you are there endlessly farming stats point by point or similar. "Don't take more than a mouthful" Just like No One said, you cant ban someone from hitting other players, but you also can't ban players for being in same location doing same ritual in defense... >.> The thing is, GGG doesn't have a solution, it doesn't have a clear answer to this problems. You'll just have to settle to one of the options, and naturally, there won't ever be a situation where everyone will be happy. If possibly, my suggestion would be that GGG stays what it is, but the time for a player in it gets limited on, lets say 3 hours per 2 weeks (when SPells get recharged, then the timer resets too. The number is random btw.), so people use it really for what they need, and not for endless farming, and it would give them time to focus on other branches of the game

lovely if the event lasts longer (like a week or two, and doesnt end by the end of this week anyway) I would like to be part of this finally some use for my offensive mp6 spells edit: btw, no need for silver, I'll find my own way to one side.

just one question for now. are spells allowed?

I wasn't complaining Indyra, maybe if you open your both eyes at dst's post, you'll see what she is saying. Making slander on quest makers how they won't give rewards to non-lorerootians, or is that appropriate to you? from now on, If anyone doubts Tarquinus' credibility, charges should be made for slander, but it's up to you Tarq... I doubt you would bother with that. The event looks very lovely. I might join in, if I have the time. (will be on a trip of 3 nights and 2 days starting from tomorrow night )

there's nothing geniuine in seeing what items were used when, dst. (you game mechanics abuser! ) and to answer to your concerns. I'm 100% sure nobody of this quest makers CARE what you think.

[quote name='Burns' date='01 June 2010 - 09:28 AM' timestamp='1275377298' post='60748'] Definitely no to permanent stat gains. In the ultimate result, that would mean that anybody who manages to get 9 WPs can increase his own stats, and the stats of anybody he likes, endlessly without any effort. [/quote] agreed [quote name='Burns' date='01 June 2010 - 09:28 AM' timestamp='1275377298' post='60748'] What i'd suggest are a few simple spells, like heal, freeze, guardianarmy or weaken, to be available in an item, with the normal heat cost and a new form of limitation, i'd think a max of 5 casts and a cast only possible when the item is charged with 2k heat or more. [/quote] agreed, tho that would make protectors a bit obsolete (tho we already are in a way). For now, protector is based on helping others with heals (with few great abilities for combat but I don't see anyone using them - and it seems people get mad when they are used.). It's a great timing for me to ask for the MP6 spell levels to get fixed (accent on the heal spell, so a bit older players can be helped as well instead of only 3-day-old newbies, currently give-vitality spell >>>> protector heal spell. Considering that there are only few of mp6s in the realm and it is regarded as hard thing to do, it shouldn't be that of a disadvantage) [quote name='Burns' date='01 June 2010 - 09:28 AM' timestamp='1275377298' post='60748'] -AntiToken: For a cost of 4k heat, it sets token-power of the target to 0 for... say... 8 minutes, as usual? [/quote] I like tho no need for 4k. 300 heat as every spell, limited number of casts. [quote name='Burns' date='01 June 2010 - 09:28 AM' timestamp='1275377298' post='60748'] -AntiFreeze: Pretty obvious imo, when an item holds a lot of heat, it can unfreeze creatures. I'd think of that as a permanent ability, with a cost of 2k heat per unfrozen creature. This also leads to my next idea: [/quote] I don't like. There are MUCH creatures with unfreezing aura, and it's overpowering in my opinion. Birds are of no use anymore. [quote name='Burns' date='01 June 2010 - 09:28 AM' timestamp='1275377298' post='60748'] -Timelimit: An item that is charged with heat can be passed to somebody and returns to the old owner when the heat reaches 0. Obviously that shouldn't be the case for all items, but it could be a function the editor can put into it, probably even with a target the coder can change, not only 'the old owner'. [/quote] I like

this avatar is for sale. post your offers here, highest offer wins, auction will end in a period of week-two [attachment=1737:avatar_4c038b1c2d497.gif]. (due to transparency, click to see how it looks in game) edit for clearance: [b]made by Blackthorn[/b]

happy birthday Granny may your shade never fade

they have to be reedited every 14 days, or else they dissapear (until the owner of the article on the clickable renews them). I'm sure Rendril will update them as soon as possible also they are all mostly (or all as far as I know) based on articles on MD archives. you should check it: http://md-archives.com/

about the friends list I agree, it is very useful but it also doesn't help the realism of the game. Same thing goes to, tho, "reply" feature for PMs (I know this is radical suggestion, do bare in mind I use it very much too but realism gets so more fun here anyway this is just an opinion.) so if you, Mur, remove the friends list, remove also the reply feature for PMs. (but make it if possible available to reply on Live help messages, that must not be abused of course and live help is integral part of MD) I guess few people were already saying about the spoilerness of some quests, but it was just different angle of view. in any case Cutler (and chewett tho I'm not familiar with his work) made a lot of work in astral plane which is really impressive, and I'm glad he (they ) got compensated for it anyways, don't lose your heart Cutler, lots of people had fun in your quests, and that's what matters

well I guess I'll close this for now. Will make auctions for each avatar one by one.

[quote name='redneck' date='23 May 2010 - 07:45 PM' timestamp='1274636700' post='60270'] i have 2 cats well 1 now cause the other dissappeared from the face of the world (dont know what happened to her) so id say cats because they re much [b]easier to look after[/b] and you dont have to really putm uch time into them [/quote] coming from the man who lost a cat?

hahaha adorable pup, esme I vote for dogs too, tho I like both of 'em.

happy birthday Shadow

applauds to Fenrir for turning DST into a moral victor. How ever could it be possible... What Fenrir is doing now at dst is totally wrong on so many levels, those attacks on her RL being, but what he done is just degraded to her level. If you people haven't noticed, every argument that dst gives a bit more energy into, dst does the same stuff, trying to provoke people by saying few words that have traces of truth just so it can hurt and disturb their opposition. Only she does it way smoother than you Fenrir, noticable so it seems only by her "enemies", while you managed to turn DST into an innocent child hunted by evildoers. So please, try to keep it clean and maintain level of decency, and show a greater level of person than your opponent. furthermore, love to war doesn't make anyone brave.

welcome to the realm of MD have fun

[quote name='Pipstickz' date='17 May 2010 - 12:26 PM' timestamp='1274091962' post='59918'] Small question, if the avatars are taken out, what happens to the silver the current owners payed for them? I'm pretty sure Kamil transferred a lot of it to Rhaegar, and for all we know, for this exact reason >> [/quote] I have nothing to do with art planing nor with their creation, Kamil has a role of the trader of the Church, meaning he takes care of the Savelites shop and transfers percent of the profits to me. He also chose to give all the profits from the avatars he made to the Savelite funds (not for my personal use), which I found very noble. He was also taking care of Blackthorn's avatars, not only his, when selling. If an avy he made gets removed, I will pay back the silvers that got to me to the buyer. I am very sorry to see this... I know nothing more about his works than you all folks. I just hope the things are lighter than they seem. edit: kicking out unnecessary stuff edit2: just saw Burn's post. I would also press charges on people who make slander on me.

we already spoke in game but let's make it official an welcome back... welcome back!
