There are two separate issues: 1. is agien's importance, character, and strength consistent with making it a easily recruitable crit for anybody? Emerald raised well documented argument against it 2. recognizing the fact that they were easily recruitable is it reasonable to close the shrine from all new players I think it's sad that MD seems to be boiling in its own vapours and majors research results do not result in new insights and features but recognize that some door that were opened for everybody should be shut... And if you joined the game later - well, sorry you missed the bus.

[quote name='Pipstickz' timestamp='1308120253' post='86255'] TTL and xrieg; people can get along just fine without angiens, they just need to maybe use their heads a little. Only place I use an angien is my defense ritual, and that's only because it happens to be one of the creatures I have with claw2 on it. [/quote] Sure they can. But the question remains: why should they have that disadvantage and less options availaible against older players?

[quote name='TTLexceeded' timestamp='1308091946' post='86250'] 2)You are creating a huge gap between old and new people. Your reasoning is flawed. You should have known better, acted better. Yours TTL [/quote] ... and it is yet another step in this direction. Rather than introducing new features the old free-for-everyone become luxury and very active new players will have less and less chance competing against sombebody who was never particularly active - but opened account long time ago when crits were freely availaible and upgrades didn't require MP. I agree with TTL - reasoning is flawed. As much as I may agree that angien is too powerful to be a freebie, it is now and curtrent players have unfair advantage over new ones (not major at the beginning but it will increase with time) - and it's a gift to all ppl with alts packed with angiens You think angiens come too easy? Increase their requirements - more wins and age to upgrade - even by a factor of 2 for age, 3 for wins. They are currently high comparing with other crits - but could have been higher for legendary crits like angiens (and for active players wins requirement is not really high as it is).

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1307267957' post='85757'] Contrary to your belief, most people do not stay in MD because they are tough. I would say the one thing that intrested me the most about was the people. Interacting, role-playing and fighting. People will either like it, or not depending on their tastes. The storymode is a very good descrimator since if people dont like reading and such, then they wont get past the waves of text at the beginning. [/quote] Misunderstanding: 'tough' in my post is intentionally in paranthesis; meaning only ppl that went through the 'screening' of the first few days and storymode (there was a lot of discussion what hind of players MD wants/ needs). I agree fighting is not essential - patience is. But patience also come with time - and a lot of time there is virtually nobody active in frequented areas new players visit. So - no fighting, no interaction, no RP... and storymode alone is not good enough to keep ppl logging in :-P

Game needs players, period. I know it's never been designed as MMORPG - but currently if you are new or just want to fight you have problems finding any opponent (especially at mp3: 0 ve or players who have defs much too strong for a newbie). NPC is something MD is proud _not_ to have - and for a good reason. However, some NPC trainer with some rits to learn basics for limited time (like first 7 days)could be a good idea: 1. it could help to teach fighting basics. 2. (more important I think) it could help to keep ppl attracted by ads ald let them 'feel MD' - many of potential valuable players may leave discouraged by these first 2-5 days. currently many ppl stay and begin playing not because they are 'tough' - but just they were lucky in these first days to find sparring partners or ppl they enjoyed interacting with.

huh 32? beautiful age :-)) wine women singing - use it well! your voice will not last, you know... happy bd :-)

[quote name='Burns' timestamp='1295638668' post='77829'] Probably the lowest ammount of a stat ever to be drained. Thanks go to Clock Master for making that possible =) [/quote] the smallest non-zero absolute value :-P [attachment=2983:e3xtremedrain.gif]

1gc 2sc

could you set reserve price for santa? it may save some spam here, too

santa 16sc

Pointless to discuss - it may be of no consequence atm but it should be corrected at some time. Especially sice it seems HC and BHC mechanics are interconnected (SS begun with the score he had in BHC before he was disqualified). Next HC Eon will begin with 100k score and as he is mostly active he is a sure top scorer (and with 2nd phase depending on top score in all MPs meaning also HC in MP5 would not matter in beginning of phase II) Of course all may be manually overridden as most elements (rewards etc) require human factor. It's not a bug that may crash the game... bug nonentheless (well.... there is a questions sometimes - bug or a feature)

Is seems at tick 0 HC not everybody had 0 points: Lone Wolf 1856 *Shadowseeker* 100004 a 472 probably some bhc testing artefacts

10 credit it is

I prefer to think Lifeline is bidding on Heretic 1.... But in case he insists on heretic 2 - I will bid 2gc 3sc. Only if he isists, mind!

Creature: Anniversary Aramor 3 3gc

@Ravenstrider: you are right - RP is not about blue text; it's about people spending some time and effort to build their roles and character. It seems that most people just do not do it - or do it without any reference to MD. If RP class was an opportunity to make people consider their character/ role/ allignment - it's a good idea. And it seems the only in this thread... I do not know Mya's and Rheagar's statistics but I suspect majority of players did not spent much time learning even about lands. IF people join lands/ alliances because their pals are there it clearly could be improved.

hmm 1gc reserve... that would be a catch... Rusty 1gc Anniversary Aramor 1gc ... and also birdie update my bid to 1gc EDIT: *looks below and mutters 'spoilsport'* *winks*

Creature: Winderwild 8sc

ehh Heretic 1 1sc for now... EDIT: Heretic 2: 2gc 1sc EDIT2: @sasha lilias: what are acceptable bids for each crit?
