  • I am actually halfway okay with the idea of Making The Ascendril Bardic Again.
  • Around peak hours there's usually a few dozen people on.

    The population's been coming back up through January - a lot of people vanish through December and come trickling back. I think we're back to pre-December numbers and that's holding…
  • Thank you for making this sort of OOC, logistics-based post. This is extremely helpful information for me, and I probably never would have asked otherwise. Posts like these are a good idea that I'd love to see done for other events in the future.
  • Aetolia has been pretty excellent lately, courtesy in large part of @Eowyn, @Gonivia<…
  • Desian's "CONSUME LIFE."

    Murad being a thing. He once tried to mug me for my gold at NoT when I was a truenewbie.

    The Crystal Leaf Inn (and subsequently, the Shooting Star Inn)'s infamy.

    Convincing some poor newbie i…
  • I am not attacking you, Leana. You are being condescending and hostile to everyone who disagrees with you. The statement acknowledges the existence of halfbreed characters, but explicitly defers from enshrining them as canon. The implication seems t…
  • (Quote) That's a direct statement from a God, made on a thread specifically meant to answer questions about the game, three full years before this discussion came up. That statement reflects an established standard which preceded it. The community…
  • It's not that we want rules - no. We have rules because things were a mess without them. We have had these rules for a long time, as Teani said. I think that point is really important to keep emphasizing.

    No, I don't want ha…
  • Vyxsis, yes, meaning in general is socially constructed.

    Meaning in a game, however, is arbitrated by its creators and administrators. The current, prevailing stance, explicitly spelled out three years ago, is the one I've cited, and the …
  • Quoth the lore questions page, back in 2014: (Quote) Ages ago, there was a character named Kaurcer who tried to pass himself off as a 'Mhorkval.' It was…
  • Slightly more serious note:

    There's a lot of room for Moghedu to be fleshed out, right now. I'd love to see more NPCs giving more of a sense of the scope and the feel of the city; I like that there's a lot of stuff to buy, and I like that…
  • I enjoy roleplaying with you. You put a lot of personality and panache into your emotes. I like that you are not afraid to play a flawed character, and I like even more that you strike that fine balance of both being a trainwreck, and yet making you…
  • I think the Mhun help file is very good about defining a solid core, but giving room for variance; it says that if you were raised in Moghedu at such-and-such times, this was your experience, and if you're outside of Moghedu, things can be a little …
  • Seconding the opinion that people should get bloody, grimy, and overall stinky after combat.

    As far as Ascendril remote-communications ideas go, the fireplace idea is a lot cooler (or hotter if you will.) That said I'd hate …
  • For Telepathy: a Force pull-like reflavor of the GET command that has you telekinetically putting things into your hand. Similar idea for opening/shutting stuff, maybe?

    Lighting things without tinderboxes should go along with other classe…
  • For me, the AoE-ness and things going boom is of prime importance in that regard. I can't speak for anybody else.
  • The Master Crystals are important if only as legacy items - agreed with Teani.

    Iconic skills that I would like to see preserved in a Mage revamp include the following:
    • Crystalhome - whether in current form, or updated to be more …
  • You use Fishing Discern.
    You are standing within the Pachacacha River.
    The river waters teem with a silvery minnow, 6 of a river herring, 7 of a white sucker, 8 of a dark
    brown crayfish, a bluefin killifish, 2 of a swamp muskie, 20 o…
  • @Zsadist -

    Flipping your logic on its head-

    Honestly, I think XP for PK is unnecessary. If you enjoyed fighting them, you'll fight them again.…
  • 1) Both sides have challenges.

    Just as the bad guys are never going to achieve an absolute victory, neither are the good guys- the game has to go on somehow, which necessitates that some degree of balance be maintained regardless o…
  • Idea #1:
    a wooden coronet
    * Decreases equilibrium costs for one class's skillsets by 7%. Once chosen, this class cannot be changed.

    Idea #2:
    a crystalline glove
    * When using crystalism, eliminates the need to outcache …
  • (Quote) Confession- the system I'm building now is the furthest I've ever gotten, largely because firstaid is doing a lot of the heavy defense lifting, and that was always the most tedious aspect of it for me.

    I'm making a full-automati…
  • (Quote) -I actually agree with this. I feel like I used to be a better writer but my prose has been very sparse lately.
    --I overrely on head tilting and hand gestures to convey my character.

    -I'm usually an RPer but lately I've got…
  • (Quote) I've always done thoughts in the second person- but your logic may have swayed me toward third person instead.

    Oh, and thank you for sharing this!
  • I would imagine that coin denominations probably top out in the thousand range or so, if we're accepting that different denominations exist to begin with. Otherwise I figured that your average gold sovereign was about quarter-size, perhaps a slight …
  • In the case of the Mhun one, there was a different one once upon a time, and you can still dig it up in older IG literature - the new one in HELP MHUNORIGIN is an excerpt out of chapter one of the Mhun holy book. Here's the older one: (Quote) Alth…
  • Also, a more general run-down:

    @Akara - I'm almost sad you decided to switch sides, because I genuinely had a lot of fun fighting with you and trying to di…

    I hope things are working out okay in that real-life incident you mentioned to me the last time we spoke. I'm …
