Seems I caught a dragon having a rest under some leaves! Aka: I thought I'd try my hand at this as it seemed fun and interesting. I have absolutely no idea what a drachorn looks like but I made a dragon of...some sort. :P Made from a toilet cleaner bottle, paper bags and a make-up sponge to give the head a little shape. Don't judge too harsh! :P [spoiler] Resting Before the wings :P [/spoiler] Edit: Just realised the dragon in the drachorns cave is a a drachorn. :rolleyes:

I would have to actually agree that the blame is on us (as a group). We were the ones hoping to revive and so perhaps we should have created a list of all those that had died. The only problem is the amount of time that could have (possibly) taken and the impatience of some that were dead. I don't think many people would enjoy being stuck in one place for days? I could be wrong though? I do feel however that this was an awesome quest and that we shouldn't be so quick to point fingers and slam down hard on any small "mistakes". All we should do is say "Whoops!", correct our mistakes now and learn by them for the future! :) Once again, thank you to whoever did orchestrate this whole thing - it was great fun to be a part of.

Ah yes, I'll apologise (as one that took part) for not thinking to take down all names. I had personally thought that all would be revived once the ritual was complete (that the orchestrator would have had a list of all killed or what not.) Again, apologies to anyone that has affected! :/

Hello! Thank you for the welcome. :D This is exactly my point! If you see a new player, engage with them! Not every one will be an extrovert and wish to initiate conversation, perhaps due to confusion or personal worries (such as sounding silly, nervous, etc.) As an experienced player you should be helping to bring new players into the "group" known as MagicDuel. Now, I'm not saying hold their hands and braid their hair (unless you want to ofc :P) But simply welcoming, asking how someone is, who they are, what they like, do they need help? That sort of thing, it's not a strenuous task. :) The game is far more about being a community than anything else for many people! It's nicer for people to welcome with open hands than force your way into a group. :)

For me, speaking as a new player, I believe that it isn't so much the fighting and training that is the problem, but integrating into the "MagicDuel Society". There is a big difference between being a player and a part of the community. Considering that this is such a PvP game it is essential that players are welcomed with more than just "Hello, welcome to MD. If you need help ask.". To me, that just sounds like a generic line, used by every single person. How to integrate a new player: Don't be generic! - Break the mould a little! Don't sound like a machine rattling out the same information every couple of seconds. Try to tailor your responses, actions and discussions to the individual. Which brings us to... Get to know them! - One of the main things I'm enjoying about this game is the diversity. There are all sorts of people, all skilled in different areas. Likewise, just because a new player is "new" doesn't make them any less interesting! We (new players) still have our own skills and weaknesses! Get to know them by talking to the player, listening to ideas and sharing your own. Involve them! - Get them talking, get them fighting, give them hints to peak their interest, kill half the population of MD to help them understand roleplay and create a role! Which takes me to my final point... Interest them! - Once you've gotten to know them, you should have a basic idea of what makes them tick. So use that knowledge! Interest them by showing them something awesome, giving them a taste of something that they could achieve if they work hard, etc. I, personally, am loving MD right now. It's a close, friendly (most of the time) community, there are quests available for those interested, role play is around for those that like that sort of thing and, likewise, so is fighting. It's all just about pointing someone the right way so they can have the optimum amount of fun! Whether a player is 1 day old or 2709, they are still a person. Not just a "noob". Anyway these are just my views and opinions! I'm sure there are others as well so feel free to give me yours in return! ^.^ :)

Hello there all! I am looking to buy bundles of memory stones, these could be up to any number (but should be no less than five), for coins. I'll keep this as an ongoing purchase until I run out of coins. :) Please find me in game or send me a forum message if you'd like to discuss selling.

As there is a topic for it already, I'll throw out my opinions here. I loved this! It was great watching the players create their own story, methods, applying them and, most importantly, working as a team! It's exactly what I hoped for when I joined. It certainly sets it aside from many other games that I've played. :) Although it may not be my place, I'd like to thank the following for their extra hard work in making this plan come together and succeed! Assira the Black,*Syrian*, Aeoshattr, Marvolo, Rophs, Lintara, JadenDew, Miq, *Sunfire*, Draconas and StrongWilledLegna. Apologies if I spelt any of your names wrong! :D Thank you again for the awesome experience and here's to the hope of many more! :)
