I can't believe anybody would be so terrible as to deplete the resources in such a manner, at such a speed.
That being said, land cleansers are a good tool. Perhaps more people unlocking weathers would also help. It feels manageable at the moment, if people want to band together and stop it.

As the evolution shop is granting plenty of tools to harvest resources, the resource depletion is becoming a larger issue.
The resources are often depleted to near 0, and will take a long time to recover (not that they will get that time since they will be harvested as soon as they appear).

Currently, the ways to delay such depletions are:
movelock / gazebo of chaos the depleter (very short solution)
use land cleanser (multiple people, the depleter needs to stay in the location long enough for fight, you move him scene by scene and they can still harvest)
verbal pleading ( does not work)
possibly ferry travel ? (not tested, quite hard to obtain spell)
Potential idea: a new tool/spell obtainable from evolution shop that would protect the resources? I imagine there could be quite a few variants to this, like the defense only works while the player stays in that location, or it movelocks the player, etc. If this worked only for a single scene, it would require a group of players to organize defenses and focus on defending the multiple locations. But any anti-gatherable defense would only make sense if it is able to go on for longer time.
Please share your ideas in this thread how we can solve this:)

I'd love to see balanced wins in the Evo shop if its not in there. >.>

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!

The forge has of today, a special list of item combos that will bypass ai creativity and lead to predictable results. Let me disclose one of these so you can understand what i mean better:

"sacrifice 5 aramors, with an item representing 5 (like a 5 playing card, or 5 silver note, etc), and add your last gold in the mix" results in "5 pointed star gold amulet"

The example is functional but its useless. In the following days, secret recipes will be added for overpowered items such as kingship items, a25 tools, overpowered or admin items. All the combinations will make sense, but will not be guessable. Why i do this, considering probably nobody will discover them by mistake?...i don;t know... for the same reason entire lands of the realm are off reach, i love depth, even if it becomes absurd :)

What this means for you:

Quest makers may ask for their own combos to be implemented
Clues to special combos will be distributed throughout the realm for puzzle hunters
Secret recipes might even be written in item descriptions.

But for now, the secret recipes of the forge is empty (except the example). Will take me a few days or weeks to design the right combos that nobody will use for the next decade or so..but what if someone does?

I want to make A25 powers obtainable in-game, those are the ultimate powers one could have.. would be nice to have them completely independent from me, we shall see :)

Over the past little while I've been experimenting with creating 3D models inspired by MagicDuel's creatures, characters, and artwork. The results have been encouraging, and I'd like to take the idea much further.
My goal is to eventually recreate every creature, character, item, and landmark in MagicDuel as faithful 3D models.
This isn't about redesigning the game or replacing the original artwork. It's about preserving and celebrating it in another medium. Every model will aim to stay as true as possible to the original designs while filling in only the details necessary to create a complete three-dimensional version.
Some possible uses include:
High-resolution renders of creatures and characters.
3D-printable miniatures for collectors.
Animated turntables and showcases.
Virtual galleries of the realm.
Community artwork and promotional material.
A complete 3D archive of MagicDuel's visual history.

These are nearing completion:


I'd like this to be a community-driven project rather than a personal one.
I'm asking for the community's help in deciding what should be modeled next. If there's a creature, character, item, or landmark you've always wanted to see in 3D, post your suggestion below. The most requested or most interesting ideas will be given priority.
If you have old concept art, screenshots, lore references, or other resources that could help improve the accuracy of a model, I'd love to see those as well. The more references available, the more faithful the final result can be.
Current priorities include:
Remaining creatures.
Player avatars and iconic characters.
Important artifacts and items.
Landmarks from every land.
Structures, monuments, and environmental assets.
My philosophy is simple: accuracy first. If a detail isn't visible in the original art, I'd rather work with the community to interpret it than invent something that doesn't fit the world.
My hope is that, over time, we can create a complete 3D collection of the MagicDuel realm, one model at a time.
So, what should I model next? Let me know below.

Started off nice and neat.

Ended up under estimating dill parsley and peppermints required space lol

[05/01/24 00:11] Aksel:He really put in the effort into MD, handheld me around in early days and was always there to help and make new content. Was expecting him to show up any time now, quite sad
[05/01/24 00:16] Chewett:He inspired questions, ideas, quests, and many other things
[05/01/24 00:20] lashtal:His generosity was sincere, detached. He would spend days just to help someone run a quest. I was in debt back then and I will forever be.
[05/01/24 00:21] lashtal:Thank you Fyrd.
[05/01/24 00:21] jakubhi: *gives everyone a hug* This is not a good night, but I wish you peaceful dreams

[05/01/24 00:46] Aia:We shall miss thee now and evermore.
[05/01/24 00:49] :Aamon records Aia's words
[05/01/24 00:51] Aia:There is one last thing I should like...
[05/01/24 00:51] Aia:Here is the last clicky that thou didst provide for me.
[05/01/24 00:51] Aia:It is fitting that it is a lamp.
[05/01/24 00:53] :Aia places the lamp at the base of Fyrd's pedestal
[05/01/24 00:58] Aia:May it shine evermore in thy memory.
[05/01/24 00:59] Invie:You were always ready to help out a fellow player. You welcomed many new players with your guidance and quests. Be sure that we will continue to guide new players to your garden.
[05/01/24 01:11] Chewett:I will take an acoustic remains later
[05/01/24 01:11] Chewett:All I wish to say is that I am very sad
[05/01/24 01:12] Aia:We all are, but let not that trivialise the weight upon thyself.
[05/01/24 02:16] Death Ray:It was truly a blessing to have come across such a person. The impressions he's left behind with is will forever remain
[05/01/24 02:29] :chriselnenepr Notices he has arrived late
[05/01/24 02:31] chriselnenepr:I simply want to share that Fyrd has been a great help to our community. He always encouraged players to take a more active role when it comes to participating in quests, creating them, or simply just tending to his bug garden
[05/01/24 02:32] chriselnenepr:I am happy to have met the happiest pickle meister in the realm and the many quests he has created to further our enjoyment of the realm.
[05/01/24 02:32] chriselnenepr:Although a bit sad some of his unfinished works may stay as such, but will forever be memories we will hold dear
[05/01/24 02:33] :chriselnenepr Places some flowers near Fyrd's statue
[05/01/24 02:33] Chewett:We can finish some of his plans I have some of them

[05/01/24 02:35] Chewett:Goodnight all, I must rest
[05/01/24 02:35] Chewett:I have posted the log as it stands, and will continue to log and post it
[05/01/24 02:35] Chewett:Be well my friends
[05/01/24 02:36] chriselnenepr:Be well and good night! I hope we can make some of those plans a reality
[05/01/24 02:51] Lazarus:Good night, Fyrd. I am grateful to have blessed by your presence all these years.
[05/01/24 02:52] :Lazarus bows
[05/01/24 02:52] Lazarus:Farewell
[05/01/24 02:54] :Aamon notes everyones words
[05/01/24 07:32] Death Ray:Heart breaking, im sure we all know he'd been in his element with the curret event going on. I was aware he was away. And tbh... i thought that it was him, as the voice...
[05/01/24 07:58] Death Ray:Another thought, Magic Duel must have meant a lot to him considering a family member reached out to us...
[05/01/24 11:31] Chewett:His son said "I know he loved playing and contributing to your game."

I'd like to put myself forward to lead the revival of the Crafters Guild.
Crafting has always been one of the systems that gives MagicDuel depth. With the Evolution Shop making more tools and opportunities available, I think it's the perfect time to rebuild a guild dedicated to experimentation, knowledge sharing, and helping players discover what crafting can really do.
My Goals
Create a welcoming place for both new and experienced crafters.
Document crafting mechanics, discoveries, and best practices.
Organize crafting events, challenges, and collaborative projects.
Help members obtain the materials and knowledge they need to progress.
Encourage experimentation instead of keeping information hidden.
Work alongside other guilds to strengthen the realm as a whole.
Why I Believe I'd Make a Good Guild Leader
Active and committed. I'm consistently involved in the game and willing to put in the time needed to keep the guild moving forward.
Community-focused. I enjoy helping other players learn and succeed rather than competing with them.
Organized. I like creating guides, documenting information, and building systems that others can use.
Patient. Crafting often requires trial and error, and I'm happy to help others through that process.
Collaborative. I believe the best discoveries happen when people work together instead of in isolation.
Long-term mindset. My goal isn't to build a guild that lasts a few weeks, it's to create a lasting home for everyone interested in crafting.
Open to feedback. Leadership should adapt to the needs of its members, and I'm willing to listen and improve.
The Crafters Guild shouldn't just be a title, it should become a place where players come to learn, experiment, and create. Whether you're forging your first item or pushing the limits of what the Forge can produce, there should be a place for you here.
If given the opportunity, I'll work to make the Crafters Guild an active, useful, and respected part of the realm once again.

The survey was split into two parts, freeform text input questions and a standard 1-5 Likert scale. The questions were as follows:
What would you change about the event and why (+5 plushies) What do you think worked well about the event and why (+5 plushies) What other ideas could you suggest to make next year's celebration even better? (+5 plushies) What other events would you want run during the birthday? (+5 plushies) Any other comments about the event (+5 plushies) The Likert scale questions asked you to rate the importance of the following aspects of birthday quests/events. Participants were given 10 plushies for filling these in:
Combat events Hunt/race events Story writing Story telling/remembrance Ceremony/Role Play/Medal ceremony Group activities (like mist collection) Plushies and prizes Souvenir creatures and items Forum contests Hangman and other games This year we had 28 responses and all those who responded have been rewarded plushies.
 

Wow, I wasn't expecting the Aramor to win! Let alone with over 50% of the vote. Ill have some progress pictures later this week, and hopefully the file ready by the end of the month if I get some time over the next couple weeks.

Hey guys! 
 
I thought it would being nice to give the community some input on the next 3d model I make! 
Unfortunately the Angien is already chosen for my winter break! 
If you don't see your critter, feel free to post it and Ill add it.

For the present, I would like it stored with other historic Documents, but, if I may, would like to reserve the opportunity to claim it at a later date.

I am truly honoured to have been a part of such a wonderful community, and hope to continue in its service in any measure granted me.

I would add gonzalo who also drew quite a few avatars, mine included. And darkraptor who made interesting quests that were, among others I participated in, an inspiration for me to get involved in quest making.

Hey guys! 
I'm looking to offer my 3d printing skills, with Mur's blessing, to the rest of MD. 
Using a combination of skills, I have managed to bring one of the most popular critters to the third dimension; the Drachorn.
https://eisenfaust3dprints.ca/products/3d-printed-drachorn
I will be offering larger models in the coming days with a detailed base. On the base will be MagicDuel's dragon logo / and your player name and ID.

Wasn't really much learning, just a matter of finding the time! Will probably end up doing all the critters at some point.

I must say the print in this picture is nothing compared to the details on the 3d model, really really well done. 
We made a deal me and Seigheart, he gets to print and sell the models of the md world he creates (i understand there are more to come), and MD gets to use these models in any way we need. I am thinking how many people in this community have access to a 3d printer, or at least how many would be motivated by a quest that involves learning 3d editing and/or printing.
Over the years many people learned stuff due to MD that helped them later in life, why not 3d skills. ..I have to think about this well, my response will be proportional to Seigh's involvement, its up to him if this remains just with this awesome drach model, or expands into something else. I will be open to future collaboration. 
If someone can bring a skill he has in RL and use it in MD, i will always support it. This quest was about getting you to DO something, and make you understand that this rare creature can be obtained if YOU create it, with your own efforts, and in your own way, because in life, only your own way is important and you must learn that the things you do and put passion into, have power and create your reality. I am seriously thinking of extending this "build yourself" quest to a majority of things in md, but i will think about it some more. Opinions about this from all of you are welcome, send me PM, lets not flood this topic.

Now this is something impressive!
Reward fully deserved. I'll send it shortly.
 
Share the .stl or whatever format it has, i would like o try to print it too.
