Chewett, you crap out some cute spawn.

it is possible to get a drawn feel to the game with the right camera angle, and only drawn shadows..... no player shadows.... i think it could be achived to give it the drawn look it currently has......oh and you don't have to give me negative rep just because you say no
and that means not doing the same thing to this message as well.

I should start by mentioning that i am not insane, i know how many things still need to be done, fixed, etc, i know i allready started other new features (like the other combat system) that i never finished, or the bot, or the factions, or mp7, or fixing tokens, or the translator, or the torch competition rewarding system or many more .... but without playing around with new features, i cant exist .. i dont have fun in md without doing this so .. LET ME PLAY


So, achievemtns page, new feature in work (i promise i'll work on it only after i do a bit on the pending stuff each day )

Main ideea:
a section within the interface with medal looking items, that will activate one item when you fullfill certain requirements.

Expansion ideea:
probably allready implemented from the start, the ability to create custom achievements so that they can assigned to individuals (rpcs, wishshop, side quests etc). An other thing, "on demand" achievements, for example you are assigned a task that will give you a specific achievement, untill you are assigned that task you will never know that achievement medal existed.

Achievemtents will be mainly granted by a system check based on some rules, but it could be also a custom rpc ability, for example for achievemtnts that involve communication or trading skills, and a human to decide who gets the medal.

Tehnical issues:
It will be very server intensive to constantly check achievements especialy if i plan to make them so highly configurable and personalizable. Thats why, they will be checked only on request by clicking a "check" button under each pending/disabled medal (let me know how it sounds or if you have better ideas)

Artworks:
i don't have them right now but they wont be a problem once i decide the main list. They will be colored probably and looking sort of alliance logos but with a medal-like feeling.

Logic:
Here i need your help. I do have plenty ideas, but i defenetly want to hear suggestions, in an organised form please (list or other way)

Achievement ideeas for example:


- "Full glow" :: get all creatures max level and minimum 6 creatures
- "Beasts mark" :: get vitality and value points at 666 at the same time
- "Noob trader" :: aquire a creature by ctc, one that was allready traded before and has before transfer at least 50 days.
- "Master trader" :: all you creatures were transfered by ctc at least once
- "Burst Burner" :: trigger a certain number of bursts
- "Combo Fighter" :: have 3 active rituals with 100 won fights (combo)
- "Above money" :: increase max vp over 100k
- "LHO" :: be promoted to lho (regardless if you get demoted after)
- "Apprentice Spellcaster" :: master at least 3 different spells
- "Mark of History" :: get something in the realm marked permanently by you, like place name, or other
- "Persistent Traveler" :: get over 500 visits in a place
- "Spellcaster" :: aquire all spell docs up to level 6 for any spell
- "Spell medal ??" :: one for each complete spelldoc series you have
- "WP collector" :: For reaching 10 wp
- "Creature collector" :: For having at least X creatures and each one of different kind (regardless of level)
- "???" :: for having at least 20 creatures all of a non damaging type (no other creatures)
- "Rich Nabab" :: for spending X amount in the mdshop
- "Creature Master" :: for having all creatures at max level and at least 20
- "Colored Creature Master" :: for having all creatrures at max level and premium and at least 20
- "Navigator" :: For visiting 100 different map locations
- "Explorer" :: For visiting 200 different map locations
- "???" :: For visiting 300 different map locations (there will be one for 400 too, soon)
- "Mr/Ms Popularity" :: For having over 100 friends
- "Stigmata" :: For doing something realy bad but still managing to remain unbanned
- "Alliance Leader" :: For getting leadership of an alliance at least once
- "Protector" :: For reaching Mp6
- "Rotten egg" Having an egg in your creatures for over 200 days without upgrading it.
- "Unholy gathering" Having 12 or more maxed unholy priests at the same time.
- "Sleepwalker" Stay online for 48 hours straight without going idle. (not sure i can)
- "That gotta hurt" lose 300 figts in a row.


(thinking on more, keep writing suggestions in a clear form pls)



both very easy to achieve things and dificult things

Interface:
i could splitt up the page in dificulty levels or just let a huge achievements page scroll, both sound fine to me....so let me know your clear list, based on the things you think they could be possible to count/masure/detect in the current system (as much as you know it)

On the character detail panel when clicking an ohter player, i think there can be a small sign to show that when clicked it will open on the entire panel a list of achievement ICONS

. Polygamy

Buahahaha... Much positive reputation!

Does reputation affect anything? If not, why do you care? If it does mean that much to you then try to look at which posts have negative reputation and then figure out why they do. I don't really see this as an issue that deserves time spent on it, complaining about it will just get you more negative reputation probably.

It effects Nothing. It is merely Cosmetic.

that sound like the theory of WP's. A new idea should be original. Even with RPC's monitoring, there would still have to be an overseer, someone who mainly just watches it... One of the main things i notice lately is it's alot harder to find specific people, and the logs make it hard as well as the alts of people are normally ridiculously high amounts so one person would recieve a reward and then their alt would for the next thing etc. so finding abuse that way would be a hard thing to do imo. and with the trading of things going on i wouldn't be suprised to see the alt trading with the main so the main still would reap the benefits at some point.

Think I may have caught this idea from someone else but...

What if there were a set of standardized, easy quests on every RPC "Q" page. Example : A quest to go get your documents, which rewards a standard amount, something pretty easily acquired, like a silver coin or whatnot. Again, this exact same quest would be viewable on every RPC. These simple quests could be limited to MP3 levels in order to encourage people to stay interested in the game, and involved. Obviously getting your documents is a one time deal, but you could potentially even have repeatable, easy quests.

ignatious, if you have an idea first search old threads to see if it's been brought up before (that has) then revive it by posting in it. if there is not already a thread about the idea, make a new thread.

DO NOT post in another ideas thread when, like here, it's completely different idea.

Not that this has anything to do with your idea, but while we're at it...

I think it would be cool to organize the list of players in an area by MP level.

Note how Grido refers to you as "little one"

He has a reputation.

Just so you know.

When the Night Passes over
I feel the strength come over
Coming from the Great Moon Goddess

She helps me in all my worries
and gives me power in all my duties
So I may follow her radiant beauty

I shall do anything for the Great Moon Goddess
She commands me in all my life
She is my life

The Great Moon Goddess is Merciful
The Great Moon Goddess is Powerful
The Great Moon Goddess is Life

It is a good idea indeed but I must agree with chewett.It would require painstakingly huge amounts of time to create and get running.
What you really need to think about are'

1)How will it be set up?- From the MD toolbar or via a seperate website?

2)Permanant "Djs" you can't just have random people selected each day, even if that DID work then the flow would soon dry up.

3)The main person you should talk to is Mur.He is the owner of all copyright and trademark rights so it would be up to him if you could create it or not.

4)Like Chewett said the topics would start to repeat, which in ways is good for young players but bad for old players.So you will always be relying on new players to tune in.

5)What would it be mainly?A music site-if so there are probably copyright issues there also.Topics in MD? General chat?

6)How would it work is the biggest question? .How do you get people from all over the world to talk in one place?Or is it going to be chat based like MD?Also how would it be broadcasted?

Oh and this is just a personal thought but if you are using a free station website then it would not be as safe, reliable or as good in general than one you pay for.You would have to check the website for virsuses ect ect.You don't want hundreds of peoples computors breaking down...do you?

Sorry to try and spoil all of this

I have already said yes to the idea on poll because I would like to give it a try.
It might be fun

(P.s Im not always this grumpy )

As some of you may know the recruitment process for entrance to the Gurrilla's has changed.In the old system Burns would speak to you and set a challenge of some description.
The new recruitment process works like this;
First go to Burns to start.He will give you the first words for the story line challenge.This will take you around parts of MD and GG.Once you have finished this you will be told to find me for your final task.This task will consist of 3 mini tasks;

1) Answer 6/10 questions correctly
2) Fight a battle against an opponent and gain this out come -2500:5000+.The battle msut not be a non damaging rit.The rit MUST be able to attack in some way or form.
3)Gain one members approval and ask them to either send it to Burns or I my Pm.

MD without Mur or someone of his calibre devolping it makes it worthless

With Mur its priceless

WTF 135k dollars???? no way... actually i first time heard of bizinformation... well but i know that ppl in last years used manly dnscoop to determine site values, i never heard of any other, for example on dnscoop it says that md is worth 30k dollars woaaa thats 105k less than bizinformation said, i wonder how exactly does that site calculate net worth of site

also i cant see how this has to do with anything, does it matter how much some calculator says its worth? afaik md is priceless

I kind of think of helping the newbies out at the very beginning of their entrance to the world, I personally believe, if you introduce them to RP at their early age, tell them a few stories about some story, help orientate them to the World of MD, don't bias them to lean to any one side, teach them the very few rules of this great game, essentially, be a mentor.

It gives them a much easier start, a better understanding of what goes on in the world, and helps ensure that MD will have a fresh batch of good people that will make the game more interesting.

Don't see this happening soon, but I like to give thanks to all of the live help and veterans that dedicate their time to helping new people out.

of course there is my personal pet peeve of idiots that use abbreviations of English words, furthering the language being butchered into just bizarre things.... Cheers!

don't forget the term "starting with a .22" heh, you get kids trying to shoot larger calibers than what adults 40+ got to shoot (if they had a gun) and it was a chain of BB+Pellet+Larger Pellet=.22 cal, now the skip it entirely...


kids are getting dumbed down, driving more reckless, being bubble-heads, no sense of proper insults, puns, good pranks, actual honor, not thinking of using a drill from Shop Class as a weapon, not doing so much major Graffiti, being (pardons to any) 'sexually' mature, while having the mental state of 2-4 years younger than what they are.

inability to controll their hormonal hissyfits, dressing more and more skimpy,(girls, generally) thinking that living minimum wage and not getting a higher lifestyle is cool (both) and 'gagsta' wearing prison clothing, (I.E clothing that constantly falls down between your ankles) getting more involved in crime of any kind, (boys more generally)

the list goes so bloody on for so long, I'd have to spend a day listing all of the odds and ends of the generations today.
