  • In my addiction appreciation of character art, I love different styles and seeing how people interpret my attempts to describe scarface zaila, so I ordered portraits from a bunch of folks and here's what I got!
    I love them all, ya'll…
  • Abby! Aloli is so patient with all of Zaila's pestering and prodding, and you put up with the constant pushing of Aloli was out of her conversational comfort zone without coming across too rigid or too open that I am usually chuckling or giggling an…

  • In all sincerity, though:

    I'm sorry your guild got deleted, that's got to feel like a massive let down. I know I would be bummed out, even if I was super pleased by the story that went along with it!

    If you're still in the mood…
  • I have 100% NOT read anything up until this last post - bear this in mind.

    But referencing being a customer in terms of how you expect to be treated by customer service is like one of the standard incoming-call-center drinking game lines.
  • A lot of people have wanted the ability to play factionless to start, but it's been pretty clear that the admin are never going to make that an option, sadly.

    I wish there was a way to start as a "new" versus "experienced" character - so …
  • As someone wise once advised others:

  • You collect based on tether - even if you are classless, you have a tether, that tether will be whichever tether the last city you were a member of holds.
    So, if you started the game in Bloodloch or Spines then went rogue you'll be booned by sh…

  • The namedrop isn't a straw man, the name drop was the original complaint that has been the basis of the following complaints that you are both making. Tiur was responding to that complaint and you proceeded to try to make his comment into a broader …
  • I always like when name-drops get worked in to event newsposts, because it makes it feel more like the players are an important part of the world: aka, it's not all about the NPC shells.

    I'd rather not hear players complaining on the foru…
  • So pretty. I wish I knew enough about these things to slap this on top of the system I sort of know how to use, lol
  • I'm curious - is there data regarding how many new players we get relative to our ranking on TOPMUDS?
  • I don't see why there shouldn't be price creep in general. 5$ in 2006 got a business further than 5$ in 2018. Even without a brick and mortar to pay for, there are still all sorts of taxes and fees and business costs that increase over the years. An…
  • Galadriel - making your own system and advertising it on here is great, but talking smack about someone else's system in the process (as you did in your introductory post for Gadget) is rude.

    So please, lets let the forums be a nice, help…

  • (The Front Line): Mitra says, "It's time to IDEASUPPORT 1292 for a better tomorrow for All of Sapience!"
    (The Front Line): Aisei says, "How do I read it?"
    (The Front Line): Mitra says, "SHOWIDEA 1292."
    (The Front Line): Mitra says, "…
  • Someone with a full compliment of examples of "old versus new" wheel (lets compare just the free spins - skull tokens are a different beast) should make a poll so we can see if anyone who uses the forum prefers the new way.

    And then someh…
  • I am definitely in the "it was way more fun to get a losing spin and have something to RP/OOC chat about than get something boring and positive" camp.
  • Sounds like a pretty normal experience when just not in the mood to do something, so I'm glad you figured it out!

    Have fun if you stay gone and have fun if you eventually wander back, too! 
  • Re: not wanting to interfere with player decisions, totally understandable - especially since players themselves haven't been doing things "wrong" on purpose and no one wants to offend a player (or get the ire of a player) who was doing the best the…
  • @irmva

    Can we get a comprehensive list of which humanoid species are live bearers and which are egg layers? 

    And for live bearers, are all human…
  • Re: Instill skill - 
    No Idreth option?
  • Dhar doesn't rezz anyone, Varíen rezzes

    *edit to add - at least, he isn't the one bringing you back from the mirror, he might unrelatedly rezz people 
  • I feel like there are a lot of frustration listed here that are related to "It's hard to find non-introductory RP"

    - This is a sentiment I feel any time I try to create an alt. As a novice, it is SUPER hard to track down new RP (whether i…
  • @Leana

    Desert_walking: because sand people always walk single file to hide their numbers. 
  • Even as someone who gives very little unicorns about XP - I tend to agree with the sentiment here.

    I don't agree with the extrapolation that there is any intention by the admin to punish people being active, as the change seemed to be an …
  • @Fezzix
    I feel like the phrase you're going for is "tactically cautious" because I definitely play both cowards and narcissists regularly!
  • Bear in mind that you're describing administrative punishments and not divine-punishments. Getting shrubbed is really a punishment for OOC things (breaking the player-rules, not the character-rules).

    They already have silencing/peacing as…
  • I feel like "can't code" deserves its own unique button.

    Over the years, plenty of people have offered to teach me, started to teach me, and then, invariably got too busy to continue or just forgot. I appreciate the bits they've always st…
  • I've enjoyed the heck out of having an event I can participate in as a rogue and actually feel somewhat useful in!
    Also, having so many different types of missions - even though I have absolutely no PK skill whatsoever - I joined sect and have …

  • As far a I know, putting blood in a vial/phial is still required to cure for Vampirism, so it should still be possible, yes.

    I don't know the syntax, though
  • I'm thinking you're reading what you want to think I'm asking instead of what I'm actually asking. But, since I'm interested in an admin's answer to that more than yours, I guess it's not a big deal.

    Also - sorry for derailing the thread …
