Hello Players, I just wanted to ask about it out of curiosity. What is it? And what can a player do with research points?

Edit: Oh nevermind I'm sorry, I just saw a post by Kamisha. Sorry for bothering.

With those points you can learn about the history and background of certain things. You might have notice that there's a link that says 'Research and connections' under all the scene titles, if you click it, you can see the clues stored in this particular location (they are still mostly empty, you'll find some scene with clues around the aramory, for example).
After you have activated your ability to read those clues, you can spend your points on them. To get that ability, you need to find and fulfill some achievements. [Shh, i hear there are some in the east lands, but that's a secret, okay? ;)]

LOL thanks Burns. Going there now

I have turned in research notes and never heard anything about it. :s

There is not yet a team checking the research notes. They should've started checking them at the end of last year (please tell me it was last year) but you know what happens with long term projects in MD.

As for travelling the East, 40 days is required, 80 days is highly recommended, preferably even some more because exploring it will take several days.

And on a side note, welcome back to MD, it's always good to see people return.

main supporter of "research and clues" program, yrth, stopped playin, so yeah

umm please do not speak on my behalf.

I have not stoped playing.
I have a new family (dauther) and my time is short.
In most cases i do reply to players on PM.

As for my support for the Research stuff
I still want it and have asked about it from time to time.
It should have been in place some time ago and seems it still has not been done.

NOTE: i am not on any team for research and do not have access to anyones submitted research.
I know it is frustrating to wait for a team to be put in place and i truly wish i could help you all
but sending me messages wount make it get done quicker.

I've hidden a number of posts which were offtopic and mostly irrelevant to be on the forum - just in case it's wondered why it's basically halved in size.

The Research and Connections function is disabled at the moment. Does this mean those Research points are unusable?

For the time being, yes.
