VertuHonagan

I know exactly what you’re talking about! I literally just sat here and read every single one of our 40-50 some odd private messages and just reminiscing. You were one of the 2  people from this game that I really connected with outside of the main game. 
I remember how you used to get so many people upset and I remember defending you, and feeling bad for you because I felt like sometimes you just didn’t realize it or didn’t know any better. I wanted to help you out and show you some guidance so that next time you met them, maybe it wouldn’t be as bad of an experience. Though I will say, I never realized it was fake hostility and I’m sure most people that you had the hostility with thought it was real as well! Haha. 
 
im not going to lie, I wouldn’t be here right now if it weren’t for Chewitt throwing me a random message. Though I’m glad he did! I got to read your messages and even this and it just brought back so much for me. 
 
I will always stay young at heart! Probably because of my hyperness lol. But here is to our long lasting friendship and to say no matter how things change or how much time goes by, we will always be friends and you will always have a place in my heart!  I love you too! ????

I personally think anything to do with illusions and how best to use them as a group could be interesting. Using assets like illusions and resources always seemed to go over my head.
 
Maybe because I was much younger and just blowing through things back when I use to play. But I think discussions or community involvement with illusions could open more ideas and suggestions from newer players, or those that haven’t played around with them much, could give some new perspectives on them.

I have attempted to confirm of the email which were associated with thee. I believe this should have resulted in restoration of thine ability to speak.
Do let me know if it there are further issues.

Use dekstop mode on your mobile web browser. Should fix the size issues. Zoom in and out as required.

Gosh, it's been quite a while since I've spoken to anyone here. Even the odd person I kept in touch with, I have the last messages sent... A year ago. 
I'm reading over stuff, thinking about the past and the people in it. It's weird to think that other people have been getting on with their own lives. I kind of imagine the people that "lived" here as not ever really ageing or changing in the least. Obviously, I watched people change in front of my eyes and just didn't really ever notice it. I wish I could hear everyone's stories since the last time I spoke to them, to see if everyone else has changed as much as I imagine they have. I'd be surprised if they hadn't to be honest. 
I'm don't know how things are going at the minute. I haven't asked, I don't really want to. In my mind, this is the place it always used to be back when I used to frequent it. There's honestly a special place in my heart for the people and places here, and it makes me tear up a little to type that, feeling silly as all heck as I do. I don't know whether this is a Hello, or a Goodbye, or what else it really could be. Something I can't put into words. That's a bit unlike me, these days. I like to think that I'm just a tad more articulate, flowery, expressive, whatever.
I've had a lot of issues with expression in the past. Perhaps I wanted people to notice when I radically changed? I don't think they did, or they were kind enough to not point it out in a rude way. Maybe that's why I chose this sort of shapeshifter persona, despite how outright irritating that must have been back in the day. I loved to play characters and switch things up, and I think a lot of that was finding myself, as sappy as it reads to my own eyes. I guess my real point here is just in a way that I probably gave off a lot of wrong impressions. I don't mean that in a fake way. I'm not really planning on re/kindling up a bunch of friendships. I didn't know how to get across what I wanted sometimes. Fake hostility probably came out a lot as real hostility. This applies to EVERYONE I ever spoke to at any point. I can't say I've ever... Really, truly, actually despised anyone here, or even remotely disliked anyone for longer than a minute. No, not even you.
It's bittersweet to read over things. Surprisingly, more sweet than bitter. I can't put my finger on it. I feel detached from who I used to be, though as a few people have alluded to in the past, I'm a different person entirely publicly and privately, normally. 
Maybe some of you haven't had a break (and I type that assuming this is going to be read by anyone, I'm fairly sure it isn't.) Maybe you're thinking about what a random little thing this is. I sure am! I've been gone for years though, I think, and think I needed to say something, though I know I've said things along these lines before, but perhaps not as heartfelt as it is now, with all the experience and knowledge I've gotten under my belt since those times.
Anti-climax. Apologies. Sorry for being an annoying little s- sugarcube. I appreciate beyond what I can express in words all the things that you did for me though, intentionally or not, well-intentioned or not.
I love you all, best of luck in whatever you've moved onto since we last spoke, and I hope you're all as young-at-heart as you were back then too. Here's to... I guess... Seven years ago?

I couldn't care less one way or the other. The only real ones that would find it offensive are mostly people that are in your face religious people. Meaning they are the ones that try to force their beliefs on everyone else. Everyone should be right to believe what they want to believe, there is no right or wrong until proven so(by death.). So, I feel the name itself is fine, but it does bring up controversy such as this topic.

I would become an MP6, but for non conventional reasons. I would become an MP6 only for the fact that it is the next step in the life of Magicduel during the story mode. I would not do it to be a protector, to be a destroyer, or to be some kind of honorary member. I would do it simply for the experience of the next step in Progression for Magicduel and that is it. My steps are purely experimental and to try all kinds of different things. Even if I may fail or dislike the experiments, I still give them a try.
 
I have not done it currently for the fact that it is not part of my characters personality to ask for help from others. My reasons are purely for Character RP only. Same as why I've never joined any lands in the almost 8 years I've been playing this game. My character is a wanderer looking for a place of acceptance for him. He will NEVER request to be accepted, it is expected of others to try to actually want him to join them and to accept. It has never happened, and I don't expect it to, but that is the way of a loner character. That wanders the lands searching for not only acceptance but also for peculiar things within the world, with the goal to experiment with every clue he can find to solve the worlds, magicduels, mysteries.

[log=MP3 Discussion]
[19/04/15 18:31] Chewett:At the moment we have removed story mode, and the tutorial is still present 
[19/04/15 18:31] Chewett:You accept the cube from the shade, and begin MD 
[19/04/15 18:32] Chewett:This is where everyone is now, the adventure stage. 
[19/04/15 18:32] Chewett:However, we probably plan to remove the tutorial too 
[19/04/15 18:33] Dark Demon: (brb) 
[19/04/15 18:34] Chewett:If we are to do this, we then have no instruction on moving, the map, everything. 
[19/04/15 18:34] Chewett:Which, could be problematic. 
[19/04/15 18:34] Chewett:Are there any LHO's here? 
[19/04/15 18:34] *Syrian*:me! 
[19/04/15 18:34] Jester:pop-ups when you first enter a scene, instead of story mode? 
[19/04/15 18:34] :*Nimrodel* raises hand 
[19/04/15 18:34] :*Sasha Lilias* nods 
[19/04/15 18:35] Jester:that'd probably be less confusing honestly, though less cool too 
[19/04/15 18:36] Chewett:So, Mur previously wanted every LHO to pick a newbie, and guide them 
[19/04/15 18:36] Chewett:I know even I did this for a period of time, but I dont think any LHO's continued to do this? 
[19/04/15 18:36] Jester:I wouldn't mind doing that but it seems like scheduling would be an issue 
[19/04/15 18:36] *Syrian*: (i havnt picked any specific one, i just offer help to everyone that might need it) 
[19/04/15 18:36] *Nimrodel*:Didnt. Because first there werent many newbies. Some didnt understand english well. some found that there were any mp3s >> 
[19/04/15 18:37] *Sasha Lilias*: (^) 
[19/04/15 18:37] *Nimrodel*:And oh.. there was viscoscity too back then. 
[19/04/15 18:37] Dark Demon:I did when I was back then 
[19/04/15 18:37] Chewett:Sasha you werent a LHO during this period, did the things Mur asked to be done get written down somewhere and you read it? 
[19/04/15 18:37] *Nimrodel*:werent* 
[19/04/15 18:38] *Sasha Lilias*: (No, I was greeing with what Sy said as a rule of thumb.) 
[19/04/15 18:38] *Sasha Lilias*: (*agreeing) 
[19/04/15 18:38] *Nimrodel*:I did it for a few months if I remember correctly. Patroling the newbie path and the Paper cabin plenty of times. 
[19/04/15 18:38] Chewett:If people are agreeing, please dont just use a ^, use a name too :) 
[19/04/15 18:38] *Sasha Lilias*: (Apologies) 
[19/04/15 18:39] Dark Demon:I recall Mur said that leaving stuff along the newbie path is useless 
[19/04/15 18:39] Dark Demon:Instead LHO's should focus on specific newbies 
[19/04/15 18:39] Chewett:Not useless. 
[19/04/15 18:39] Dark Demon:and make them stay; be their mentors, make MD interesting for them 
[19/04/15 18:39] *Nimrodel*:I also had a bunch of newbie adepts too whom I used to pm atleast twice a day even if they didnt respond for atleast three days if they were non responsive. 
[19/04/15 18:39] Chewett:Mur felt that comparitively, while it did help, knowing and talking with people would help lots more 
[19/04/15 18:40] Dark Demon:Honestly, Fang tried to do that a lot. Poor guy was mocked for it 
[19/04/15 18:40] Jester:Fang would get mocked doing anything >.> 
[19/04/15 18:40] Dark Demon:He overdid it though 
[19/04/15 18:40] *Nimrodel*:I believe fang was never mocked for talking to newbies 
[19/04/15 18:41] Chewett:I would agree with Nim there... Iv never seen someone doing that to Fang 
[19/04/15 18:41] *Nimrodel*:he was mocked for all the other extras he did and claimed to do. 
[19/04/15 18:41] Dark Demon:I meant he was mocked in general despite what he did, but anyway, lets stick to the discussion 
[19/04/15 18:42] Chewett:Thank you for your feedback DD 
[19/04/15 18:42] Chewett:But you are right, Stick to the discussion :) 
[19/04/15 18:42] Chewett:The problems with the visc were solved by me, changing it 
[19/04/15 18:43] Chewett:Were there any other issues raised? 
[19/04/15 18:43] samon:That there are too few MP 3s 
[19/04/15 18:44] samon:For them to train etc. 
[19/04/15 18:44] Dark Demon:That can only be fixed by advertisment, I believe. This issue has been raised many times in the past, but a very important point to keep in mind is that MD is not ready yet for a huge influx 
[19/04/15 18:44] Dark Demon:Advertisment may not be as benefiting as it would be, say 1 year from now. 
[19/04/15 18:44] Jester:I have an idea that MIGHT help with that actually... 
[19/04/15 18:45] Jester:we don't need more people to join, we need them to stay 
[19/04/15 18:45] Chewett:Indeed jester 
[19/04/15 18:45] Dark Demon:Both 
[19/04/15 18:45] Chewett:For the moment, a couple players using and idling some MP3's work 
[19/04/15 18:46] *Nimrodel*:is that allowed? 
[19/04/15 18:46] *Sasha Lilias*:There have been a few questions as to whether that is "alt abuse" actually. I've offered a few times. 
[19/04/15 18:46] Chewett:If you just idled one, per person, say each LHO had one, then thats fine 
[19/04/15 18:46] Aeoshattr:Well... we're not using those alts for our personal gain. 
[19/04/15 18:46] Dark Demon:I suggested that and was called for alt abused and shunned out 
[19/04/15 18:46] Chewett:Then they have a set of "NPC's" to fight 
[19/04/15 18:47] Chewett:DD, please remove the chip on your sholder. 
[19/04/15 18:47] Chewett:Its not helpful to our discussion :) 
[19/04/15 18:47] *Nimrodel*:Idling our mp3 alts in the same scene and stuff 
[19/04/15 18:47] Dark Demon:I'm just saying I'll raise this point again if someone suggests it 
[19/04/15 18:47] Chewett:I think that, for the longer term, thats fine. 
[19/04/15 18:47] *Sasha Lilias*:Should these "NPC'S" all have common names so as players know it's a help account? 
[19/04/15 18:48] Chewett:DD, I am suggesting it, It therefore is perfectly fine. 
[19/04/15 18:48] Chewett:They could indeed Sasha 
[19/04/15 18:48] *Nimrodel*:ok. So it will not be considered alt abuse if one LHO idles 1 alt so that young newbies can train. Agreed? 
[19/04/15 18:48] Chewett:Or, these accounts could be purely managed by the LHO 
[19/04/15 18:48] Chewett:To be perfectly honest, a number of players do this already for Asthir 
[19/04/15 18:48] *Sasha Lilias*:I'd suggest accounts pre-created that may be logged into by any LHO. 
[19/04/15 18:48] samon:What about a few accounts like the aramors in GG? 
[19/04/15 18:49] *Nimrodel*:a number of more players would do it too if it werent a grey area and was pulled out to the white. 
[19/04/15 18:49] Chewett:The aramors have issues as they dissappear 
[19/04/15 18:49] Dark Demon:NPCs have also been suggested, but the opposing argument was that MD is supposed to be interactive and not single-player 
[19/04/15 18:49] Rophs:Is it alt abuse? Maybe technically but it doesn't seem to be the type of alt abuse that would be punished for. 
[19/04/15 18:49] Chewett:NPC's cant be used since they are coded to disappear once killed, per person 
[19/04/15 18:49] *Syrian*: (i did raise the idea of having lho mp3 accounts some time ago, it wasnt really replied on) 
[19/04/15 18:50] *Sasha Lilias*:If a list of "MD" mp3's were created and scattered over MD, LHO's could be given a list of log ins for them so they may be logged in all the time? 
[19/04/15 18:50] *Syrian*: (just so they can be used and still have access to the live help system to recieve pms) 
[19/04/15 18:50] *Sasha Lilias*:Though, that might mess with the Alt-checker? 
[19/04/15 18:50] Jester:why does everyone keep bringing up problems from the past? its the day of the future, that was yesterday. 
[19/04/15 18:50] Chewett:So say we have 5/6 idling alts with a couple different rituals, etc 
[19/04/15 18:50] Chewett:Thank you Jester :) 
[19/04/15 18:50] Chewett:We should promote this guy! 
[19/04/15 18:52] *Sasha Lilias*:I don't think that these "LHO Alts" should be in just one place though. If they're scattered then it means MP3's will have to travel about and learn the areas. 
[19/04/15 18:52] Chewett:These LHO alts should probably have some disctint names so we could watch them 
[19/04/15 18:52] Jester:not too far away from each other though, maybe just around NML 
[19/04/15 18:52] Chewett:And older MP3's should be discouraged from breaking/attacking them 
[19/04/15 18:52] Chewett:Mainly since, they are designed for new people 
[19/04/15 18:53] *Sasha Lilias*:NML and MB I'd suggest, Jester? 
[19/04/15 18:53] Jester:give them special avatars so its easy to tell? 
[19/04/15 18:53] Chewett:That sounds good 
[19/04/15 18:53] *Sasha Lilias*:And perhaps they could be given an LHO flag or something? 
[19/04/15 18:53] Assira the Black:These LHO alts could also be used for/in quests. Especially if placed in some harder to reach areas. 
[19/04/15 18:53] *Sasha Lilias*:Then players will be able to see a list of these LHO alts. 
[19/04/15 18:53] Dark Demon:"Wild bird". "Rebel priest". "Angry Knator". 
[19/04/15 18:53] *Syrian*: (another problem is tha tif you give them lho wings and idle them, they may recieve pms over people who are online) 
[19/04/15 18:53] Jester:ah yes, good idea 
[19/04/15 18:54] Chewett:We wont give them wings 
[19/04/15 18:54] *Sasha Lilias*:Yes, no wings. But perhaps and avatar and flag. 
[19/04/15 18:54] Jester:their papers could have combat tips as well 
[19/04/15 18:54] *Syrian*: (people were saying lho alt, so i thought tehy were implying doing so :P) 
[19/04/15 18:54] Chewett:avatar and flag seems fair. 
[19/04/15 18:54] Jester:what works against the specific ritual they're using, for example 
[19/04/15 18:54] Chewett:Papers being configured too would be good 
[19/04/15 18:54] Jester:hints I mean 
[19/04/15 18:55] Dark Demon:and also maybe "Lonely archer" 
[19/04/15 18:55] Jester:or why their ritual works... 
[19/04/15 18:55] *Sasha Lilias*:LHO's could work together (in a hidden forum topic maybe?) to produce a good, varied set of help papers? 
[19/04/15 18:55] Jester:would non-LHOs be able to help? 
[19/04/15 18:55] *Sasha Lilias*:Actually, scrap that. No need for it to be hidden. 
[19/04/15 18:56] Jester:I'd like to assist but Grido banned me from being an LHO >.> 
[19/04/15 18:56] Chewett:I dont see why not Jester 
[19/04/15 18:56] *Sasha Lilias*:Because as Jester said, would be good for outside help also. 
[19/04/15 18:56] Jester:cool 
[19/04/15 18:56] samon:I'll volunteer to help as well 
[19/04/15 18:57] :*Sunfire* opens his eyes 
[19/04/15 18:57] :Lintara pokes his nose 
[19/04/15 18:57] *Grido*: (not even half here currently, but when did I ban you from being lho Jester?) 
[19/04/15 18:57] *Sasha Lilias*:Forum topic should be created where we can collate information. 
[19/04/15 18:57] Aeoshattr:I have a number of MP3 alts that I can idle around. Well, 1 at a time. 
[19/04/15 18:57] Chewett:So, This idea can be worked on further, It would be great if someone can summarise that and make a topic 
[19/04/15 18:58] :[Spell] Whispers of the past. [/log]
 
A brief summary of what was mentioned:
 
It was brought up that a lack of MP3's were a big problem for the newer players, as this ment they had no one to train on and were therefore discouraged/ got bored of playing.
 
The following ideas were raised to try and solve the problem:
LHO's to idle MP3 alts to provide new players with training dummies. LHO's to have access to special "LHO Alts". Al's would have easily recognisable names. Alts would have easily recognisable avatar. Alts would have a "LHO" flag. Alts should be spread amongst NML (perhaps MB also) to encourage travelling. These alts' would have pages filled with hints, tips and details to help MP3's learn. Help pages would contain collated knowledge from all those that wish to help and provide valuable information.

You had illusion creatures, How annoying! Iv fixed you I believe now?
 
Also fixed vertu, who had the same issue.

And here all I do is wander around and my stuff gets broken. :P
