  • New shard research tree, giving the ability to turn shards directly into respectable amounts of quest experience, with the efficiency increasing with more levels of the research.

    That would give midbies a real incentive to go along to shardfalls and ensure the spoils come back on their side of the fence. Quest levels (and virtue drops) are the hardest to get by a margin, and this would also help to even out the mana reserve disparity for anyone who missed out on the halcyon days of March 2015. Please have the flavour text involve building a cairn of shards and then either kneeling down to worship it, or kicking it over.

  • The last level lets cities build giant shard cairns that give experience to all citizens, and other cities get to try to knock them down early.

    They'd be worthwhile if they were knocked down immediately, but they'd be REALLY worthwhile if you could hold it for a while.

    If you knock down the gigantic shard cairn, you immediately become a Shard Champion.

    Can the REINCARNATE command show how much time is left on a gem:

    You currently have access to no methods of reincarnation.

    Gem (00:43 minutes remaining)

    To reincarnate after using your free reincarnation, you will need to obtain a dagger of 
    reincarnation, or the Gem of Transmutation.

    Usage: REINCARNATE INTO <statpack> <race> WITH <method> [CONFIRM]
           HELP RACES will show you a list of available races
           STATPACKS will list the statpacks.

    nvm, Khizan tells me I can just flunk it and see the time:

    Your Gem of Transmutation has not recharged itself yet. It will be ready in 21 minutes.

  • Ummm lol? I afk'd so long last night and didn't get a giftbag?

    itd improve imperian if i got a present i went out of my way not to earn
     You say, "This is much harder than just being a normal person."
  • I'm actually surprised. Stockings throw a bunch of neat stuff at you and you get some for free from Silverbeard/Ironbeard for sending in a Christmas letter. That's a nice little perk in and of itself. With those around, I was surprised to see that they did Ironbeard at all this year.

    Are we really complaining that our free stuff isn't easy enough?

    Merry Christmas, Admin?

    No, I'm complaining that it's optimal to log on and AFK 24 hours a day until Ironbeard goes away.

  • A large, afk playerbase is just as bad as a small, active playerbase.

  • I really like our admin, I mean really like them, but, I am glad that players feel free to be pretty matter of fact about criticism, and not beat around the bush and sugar-coat any criticism until it's barely recognizable, and I want that to always continue here.  I kid you not, on all of the other IRE forums, there is a permeating obsequiousness from players (sometimes very heavily promoted, or even demanded, by admin, but just as often weirdly promoted by players themselves).  It's weird.  We don't have that.  Good.  But still, sometimes even here people take frank criticism as some horrible thing.  It's not.  If we are actually awful to other players or admin, they have no trouble banning people.  It's basically the best relationship I have seen.       

  • Syntax: LEAP <direction>

    This ability will allow you to leap over various obstacles in your way.

    You cannot do this while mounted.

    Allow characters to leap while mounted, but have a longer balance return to compensate for it; or just add an artifact that does the same?

  • Or just dismount before leaping..?

    Psh. That requires me to step down off my magnificent steed like a peasant!

    That would allow you to combine the mounted waterwalking effect with leap. Since that is a balance change, and not a quality of life one, it should go through classleads.

  • Is there any possibility that the promo Warhorn item could be unblowable when the current area isn't in the post-last-wave phase? Since it's sort of really hard to tell in some cases(especially with other people bashing) and has a longish cooldown, it'd be great to know it just couldn't be wasted when it isn't actually going to work.

    You've baffled me!
    H:731/700 M:425/360 B:0 <eb pp> <db> K:100 R:0 D:0 specialise in kickboxing
    Targetting the training dummy, you study the art of shifting your balance quickly between your feet, allowing you to quickly kick with either leg. You are now a specialist in kickboxing.

    Could Taekate specialize work with the specialize spelling, too? We're not all horrible Brits like Septus. :(

  • Free: If you are under level 30, you are permitted to change your race and statpack as much as you wish for free. 

    ...

    NOVICE
    - Your rank in any profession will be novice if you are level 50 or lower.
    - A novice in a profession will be automatically promoted to apprentice when he/she has reached level 51.
    - If a novice forgets the profession or individual skills within the profession, he/she will receive 100% of the lessons spent back. 

    These two things don't really mesh that well. Could you consider extending the free reincarnates up until L51? This would make it a lot more viable to decide on Mage instead of Runeguard or the like.

  • It would be nice if it could be based on play time.  Maybe.  As it stands, you pretty much need to have IRE experience, and realize that you are serious about taking your time.  Because, you really have to be very assertive about not being powerlevelled if you know you are new to the game and want to think about things a bit.  Like "NO I AM FINE I HAVEN'T HAD THIS MUCH FUN EXPLORING IN MY CRAPPY LEATHER ARMOR IN YEARS JUST LET ME HAVE THIS OKAY" assertive.

    Translate Jules-ian:

    Incidental over-levelling is very common. Consider extending free reincarnates to 30 hours of play time.

    So about a month ago, I looked at my subscription and figured I nor Imperian itself wasn't getting very much out of it... I looked around the pool of Imperian players and felt that one person in particular was worth investing my money into...

    Cleverly, I cancelled my subscription and tried to subscribe for the person mentioned, before finding out you can't pay for another person's subscription...

    I wonder if admin would consider allowing players to 'gift' Iron Elite subscription months? I would like to do this, but I can understand if admin wouldn't want to.

  • Any chance we could get RING MEMBERS sorted alphabetically? Currently its kind of a pain to see if someone is in one of the giant circle wide rings.
  • RING MEMBERS is now sorted alphabetically.

  • You're the man.
  • Right now, Rangers have AB TRAILBLAZING TRACK and Outriders have AB TRAILBLAZING STALK, because Track is a wyrmriding skill an they don't want a name conflict.

    Could the Ranger ability be changed to also allow the Stalk syntax just to normalize things? It is frustrating having different syntaxes for the same skill when you have both professions.

    Sure, why not. STALK now also works if you have TRAILBLAZING TRACK. For obvious reasons, this doesn't go the other way.
