  1. Greetings,

    If you feel that it is impossible to get herbs with all depletion around, it's time to change your mind. I have been absent minded in the realm lately due to IRL constraints, but my basket has been fully used.[b] I offer tea Leaves and Aromatic Herbs for sale.[/b]

    [b]Please note that I will refuse bids from ressource depletors [/b](and those who support/help them). This is my modest contribution to the effort of those who start taking care of ressources across the realm. I will be sole judge to accept or refuse bids, but I commit on giving my reasoning if I have to do refuse some offers. Of course that [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10608-resource-depletion/page__hl__resource"]thread[/url] to help my judgement.

    For those who may be concerned with the origin of those herbs I put up for sale, please note that I harvested them myself (apart a few gifts for glass making) and that 90% of them (or more!) have been harvested in respect of the environment (optimal gathering). I have myself harvested in depleted locations occasionally (trying to beat depletors), in lands where people did not seem concerned with that issue. I am happy to say that most lands now care on that. So do I.

    Current number for sale (will be updated if I gather a few more before the auction):
    [size=5]- [b]Tea leaves: Qty 75[/b][/size]
    [size=5]-[b] Aromatic herbs: Qty 101[/b][/size]
    Edit: I accept separate offers for Tea leaves and Aromatic herbs.

    Bid away!
    Auction ends when I am satisfied with the price . If I consider it too low, I will cancel the auction.

    Thanks!

  2. Warning: I just discover what illusions are, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

    That being said: I understand someone in an illusion hides her real identity and looks different. However if someone gets in touch with the illusionist real alliance mechanism and kicks her, then the membership should be lost. The person has vhosen to be in an illusion, her real status (alliance membership) is not in an illusion. It's more an administrative status. And can still be lost.

  3. Understood. I mean: cups of tea also have a limited life time (can't remember how much). I was wondering if the same issue (not refreshing the initial "birth date" with adding cups) could be ahppening. But maybe I should investigate and see if other people had the same problem. Will do.

  4. After succesfully Pass Papers, there is a warning that appears in the weapon section of the profile:

    *****************************************************************
    Weapon sets
    [b]Warning[/b]: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [b]/home/magicdue/public_html/ui/userprofile/load_profile.php[/b] on line [b]226[/b] Properties of entire set are increased by 15% for each object you wear from that set
    *****************************************************************

    Not critical since the papers work as expected, but I felt I should report it.

    Reason of the warning is probably obvious to who knows how it works.

  6. Avatar shop has always offered me a choice between 8 avatars.

    Recently I noticed it was showing only 7, although it says there are 668 available avatars in stock. I believe it's not normal (but please correct me if I'm wrong).

    I checked with a few people and Burns appear to have the same problem. I thought it could be because I recently bought one avatar from the shop, but Burns did not for 2 years +.

    I haven't tried shuffling the selection. If needed for some testing, please let me know.

    I checked those places are tagged with no land. So it's definitely the same situation as what was described in the thread I linked. Nothing has changed.

    EDIT: beaten by Samon for a few minutes :)

  8. Liberty, I posted a bug report some time ago about teh same subject but it was considered "normal" (I'm talking of places in NML classified either as No Man's land and offering no bonus, or as No homeland and offering your loyalty bonus). The thread is there:
    [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10766-no-mans-land-vs-no-home-land-is-there-a-difference/"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10766-no-mans-land-vs-no-home-land-is-there-a-difference/[/url]

    Please check it out, in order to know if what you describe is different from that. If the Gate issue is solved, then you are probably talking of the same thing.

  9. Hello,

    Today i was in tribunal after a long walk. I logged off to avoid taking Skill Damage (there was some roaming around ;)). When I logged on again, I found myself in GoE. This happened just before Item dispatch reset, probably to prevent me from grabbing anything.

    Besides the bad news for the friends I have a party with tonight (sorry guys I won't bring booze, just the tea in my pocket will be available!), that raises a question to me.

    As far as I know I have no way to prevent nor counter such spell. Am I missing something?

    If not, then it would look like a "God" spell, which i can do nothing against. Which IMHO is not good.

    One big problem with completely forbidding having two alts logged in at the same time is that there are many 'false' alts. Players that actually are different persons but are still flagged as alts, for them it may become nearly impossible to play when they can't log on at the same time.

    Yes. It would need to be indicated within the game database. There are many other issues with that rule, all solvable. I am not saying it's something I'd like to see implemented: it's really not worth the trouble IMO. I'd prefer people to behave!

  11. I find the rule for being nominated Rookie of the year a bit unfair: I was lucky to start the game last year in February, thus being quite well known when December comes. Someone who started in November had no chance for 2011 Rookie and will not be eligible in 2012 if the rule is not changed.

    My suggestion (assuming teh award ceremony is in December 2012):
    - are eligible for the 2012 Rookie of the Year award, players who have started the game after 2011 June 1st.

    I don't see the need of adding a limit in AD.

  12. It's in the restriction section:
    [quote]
    [b]Uncommon things that you CAN do[/b][list]
    [*]You can have multiple accounts, to try out story, to experince new ways of play etc ..., however if you are detected that you are using them just to help one of your main accounts , all of them including the main will get banned.
    [/list]
    [/quote]

    The discussion in the thread that was locked was precisely around this "fine line" between what is authorised and what is not.

    I think consensus was (almost) reached that if you are using ALTs to help your main know what happens somewhere, and thus make the choice whether you will go there or not is against the rule. I perfectly agree with all what Magistra said on that matter.

    Other people said that you are doing the same when talking to other people either ingame or via external messenger to get those information. Well, that is perfectly allowed (even encouraged as far as i understand MD's policy) and it's called teaming. You just can't team with your ALT, pretty simple rule.

    Then, there will always be people claiming that they don't learn things that way with their ALTs, or that you can't prove they do. But it does not make this behaviour more legit.

    loose rules are the most convenient when people want to play fair game. Only when people try to abuse the system you need to tighten the rules. That happened with shared tools. If we want no possibility of ALT abuse the way it was evocated in the other thread, because some go beyond the line, then the best way would be:

    - either forbid ALTs (with all usual implications/arguing that come from that)
    or
    - forbid having 2 ALTs connected at the same time and
    - make an ingame mechanism forbidding to log on with an ALT within x hours after another was used

    Of course those rules and ingame mechanisms can always be bypassed by usual tools used by MultiAccount professionals ;)
    And they would hurt badly those who use ALTs for playing 2 different characters fair way.
