You may remember a time when several groups would congregate around the GoE, MDP, Wind's Sanctuary, willow's walk and other locations daily, and you also may remember a time when it would take a long time to walk through the realm for which you seek pickles as a remedy, but that time was a long time ago and since then the exact scenario you describe, "It forces people to congregate together at GoE" is something that is not forced anymore, and yet it still remains constant. Viscosity or not the activity of doing anything around the realm is minute, brief, you can walk to the gate of the bored and back to GoE in a few minutes and anything you needed along the way comes back with you. There is no reason to stay, and outside of events like the MD birthday you don't see people congregating in locations other than the GoE nowadays. Even in times where I can coax a few people to sit at the marble dale park the "sparring" location for a month or two for the easy daily loyalty, the xmas tree comes around and before you know it everyone is idle at the GoE again. This is the problem I am describing. That there is no need and little want to do anything outside of the GoE. Viscosity at least brought people together if only by force. I don't want viscosity necessarily but I would like to see real reasons to explore and inhabit a space in the realm.

while I could try to use a lot of words to describe how I think the game mechanics are not helpful towards community activies I would have to sum it up as: Movement doesn't reflect what it used to very well before all of the action point changes were added/applied... In some instances walking through a land could take hours, for example MDA, the East, or even Loreroot, as most of what we had to fight was viscosity and that required us to walk in groups. I don't think it needs to take hours to do things but the practice of us needing to combat viscosity and work together to get somewhere was very rewarding.

Basically just forces me to take a screenshot or control+C to copy the things I could otherwise do with a rightclick/copy, it being disabled does pretty much nothing to stop me from using the functionality I just need to do it in other ways. Would prefer it to be enabled.

all this is is an error where a / will appear with a ' it used to happen in the mood panel as well when you would put a ' the slash would appear and I believe it has been fixed since then. As far as on silver coins I have some recent ones here:

I can only express my discontent at not one but two Caretakers attempting to engage in such irresponsible actions

Some principles, like 1 point of a principle would reduce your heat by 10,000. With a full 4,000 principles spent you could reduce up to 40,000,000 heat. The tradeoff here is related to the creature methods of reducing heat, this is a new way to do so as the principles can help to lose heat when creature sacrifices cannot be utilized.

I agree and I have edited his post with a spoiler to compensate

I disagree that these ideas are reasonable as they are just increasing the effects of the death and agitating the player, losing things like age hurts the opportunity cost of actions like training creatures, although the ideas give more soft functionality to kill tools such as harming a players creatures before a contest. If death needs to be a bit more "painful" then it should be in a way that disconnects you from a sense of your living account. The dead player should need to do more to resume their position of being alive, through rites of passage or similar rituals/quests or through obvious markers of activity that should be unusual to a typical "dead" player.

We are trying to find out if you lashtal had Granos kill Else or if Granos did it for his own reasons. I agree use of tools at will can be reasonable.

Are you sure the first image was related to the bounty? I haven't seen this error myself for bounties, but I don't think the bounties do anything with the trigger box as they have their own popup message they interact with you through. The error I get often is if I claim a bounty but manage to open it again it will tell me it has been claimed already. I notice you link the same error here: About redeeming these bounties, you need to do that through your email to get the reward from it.

Any kind and as many as you will sell, price negotiable but I will pay in gold/silver and possibly resources/consumables.

lashtal about Else~ Day: 273 Year: 15 ~ Found trespassing in Necrovion. ~ Day: 82 Year: 16 ~ Note to self: kill on sight. ~ Day: 144 Year: 16 ~ Necrovion guest for one week. Day: 145 Year: 16 : Murder! Granos murders Else Granos: Lash Sends his regards... ___________________________________________ Else was murdered in invisible blood at the GoE. Will we see who really was responsible for this?

Check in your profile near the bottom, the Trade your Avatar section, in there you can find your avatar vault. Here you can see there are options in order to purchase a new avatar without losing your current one, be careful of that as in the shop if you buy one it will replace any you have on currently and it will be sent to the shop. Make sure to remove your current avatar (to a vault) before buying a new one. As I believe Poppi has received the avatar I will be closing this.

Hello ignnus, what is to stop me from offering this same information or in other words, what is the reason people will want to specifically come to you for this information?
-
Yeah I think the other values could be boosted a bit, specifically age should matter a lot. Age and level are correlated strongly for most creatures although level stops being relevant once it is maxed, age is something you always want on a creature and is more natural than tokens or heat which can be easily added/removed.

Mallos 366 Started conversation: July 31, 2011 Stephen King is awesome. Best books I have ever read were the Dark Tower series. __________ Message to Burns from 9 years ago. The most pertinent topic to MD, certainly. I admit I also haven't read too many books.

Even in the current paradigm you have people like MRF or nadroski before he went mp5, even me when I was still mp4 where lots of people can not compete with these players, and trust me it doesn't take much at all to make an account at mp3 or mp4 that outclasses most of the players that will walk into the game. So staying how it is now does not help with that problem and pushing people to mp5 only makes it worse. the problem is that these new mp3s and mp4s dont have access to a lot of the things they need at that level that a veteran of the game might have access to like funds and help from friends to help them get the better creatures and max them, that they will normally be on the lower teir when it comes to capability. Any established and permanent mp3/4 will be able to out compete them, definitely the newer players are not helped by the lack of training partners that even the established mp3/4 can provide to them if it wasn't the case that we are emphasizing everyone to go mp5.
-
I think we need to stop with the attitude of not accommodating mp3s and mp4s "or people will just stay there" because in a lot of cases people will do it regardless, and it isn't wrong to do so either or you are just starting to tell them how to play as in go to mp5. If you don't accommodate them somewhat we have no excuse in wondering why they all leave.

While I agree with the points you make I think it is not exactly the problem of Hollywood copying that contributes to the "KISS attitude (keep it simple and stupid)" homogeneity that we are seeing. For example with the superhero films aka Marvel/DC, they may be very high budget films with robust source material but in a lot of cases the source material is not even followed and you end up with the problem on canonical material vs non-canon. Even in these films with esteemed writers/directors they can seem one dimensional often with that dimension being the bad guy vs good guy, making it feel like they are all the same movie in some cases. Star wars episode 7 seemed like an entire re-skin and condensing of episodes 4-6 and the star wars series has a huge lore behind it that has never made it to film, yet they chose to rehash the earlier movies. The main problem is not so much that they choose to make these movies in this format, it is rather that this is what continues to get the views for them and consequently the money. People like a name brand to have, something they know is reliable and will continue to give them quality. It is just that the quality in this case is expensive budget and not so much amazing scripts. Furthermore it is hard for people to even find newer better things when these constant big hitters get in the way with their advertising campaigns, often all you hear about is more of their movies. I've been thinking about two movies in particular lately that may be good for this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowpiercer Source Code has that detective work theme with no identifiable bad guy, and Snowpiercer is about a climate-destroyed planet with an attempted social upheaval. Whether they are so one dimensional is debatable but mostly I question if anyone else has heard of or watched these movies? I know I had not found them until looking through a huge list of movies, I don't think they were as popular as most of the hollywood high budget films though I still find them to have been good.

No, I am your father. Samurai jack is the best action cartoon and if you disagree I will put you in time-out. You'd be surprised how much plagiarism goes on in China, not just America, but when it comes down to it almost everything nowadays is copied from something else. Or I like to think of it rather as inspired by. Think about all of our history since the invention of language or writing and how many people we have alive today, it is hard to come up with something original at this point. As long as the content isn't the same I don't think choosing a style similar to an existing thing is anything bad. At some point I begin to notice all the stuff here in MD that seemingly comes from other places.

Are you sure you don't want it to be "Poultryous" anymore?

Map function inside MDA building freezes
Mallos replied to Fyrd Argentus's topic in New interface issues
Yes the map for realm 4 the inside of the MDA building does not show up. It was previously the same map for realm 3 the outside of the building visually, but different instances of a map such as while inside you wouldnt see map markers from outside and vice versa (or at least while outside you wouldnt see the inside ones) I have already placed the markers for both realms but obviously the realm 4 has no map for the markers to show up on, I still have the texts for where the markers go if you want it. Although the markers may seem a bit misplaced depending on how the markers show up as they have some variance to show spacing between players dot for the extra player librarytunnel and others are new ones that werent on the list at the time -

You will need to be more specific on what you are creating. Most of the newer features are listed in the announcements you can always look through those. Or ask here or on the discord.
