The system is down:Does the basic "RESISTS" command mean anything? "RESISTS CHECK" makes sense, but I can't make anything out of "RESISTS" (or really, RESISTS <damage type> either) except meaningless numbers (which are probably not actually meaningless).If they come back we'll just have to have someone kill them again! Also... 8th or 9th will be like... Monday or Tuesday right after school potentially kicks in for me, although I really am looking at taking a particular class at a different school,…As long as it really is the beginning of February I can do any of the times (and don't need to vote).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 powerleve…ANNOUNCE NEWS #3246Date: 1/11/2016 at 20:57From: JeremyTo : EveryoneSubj: Character RetirementWe are releasing a new Iron Realms wide character retirement program for your …I am definitely willing to play what the team needs, but half my team is telling me "eh, block", and the other half actually does seem to consider it fairly crucial, so I am not really sure. I keep getting conflicting messages based on what I am ex…I get it, Eldreth, which is why I know Outrider would never get block, for example... But it is just feeling so crucial I don't dare play anything but the class that ensures we can block. And I wouldn't mind staying in Templar if it weren't pretty …Well, maybe we should try fighting some fights against tex specifically without blocks, and see if it can be done well... I am skeptical. But I am certainly willing to try it.I wish Templar had some ground between "I'm pretty useful in groups but I really do just hit them with an axe to the face" and "god tier longsword Templar" (Septus). The big thing is, Outrider is way more fun for someone at my skill level to play, …Is PK XP actually precious? Beyond bragging rights for the top 20 or so? If so, that is kind of a problem in and of itself. If PK XP is actually worth worrying about (or seen to be), that's not a good thing in the first place.I like Eldreth's version even better (sorry Septus, you are still the most evil genius), even though I am not sure what KB means.I like it, but we've already seen a lot of gank squads lately, jumping all sorts of people because reasons, including our newer recruits who barely have aliases for their new profs... A lot of instances similar to when someone from magick joined us …I don't think some of these people want to be flagged for PK though (especially that), not even "for a little while", which, I still have very mixed feelings about having player groups with such polarized wants, but, we need those players. The only…The Champion thing is exciting, and I think/hope is going to lead to each circle having one or two boneyards at a given time (probably owned by someone like Septus or Eldreth) and team defense/aggression, centered maybe more around the plagues than …On another note, I LOVE the idea of using theft in events, even though I hate theft in general. I have always thought that theft should be used exactly for stuff like "steal magical org item" and "steal bones/eggs" etc... I would love to see more …Oh yeah, definitely, Septus. I would much rather have the bones get given than possibly get hit with an issue that could very well be winnable with the rules of engagement for this event. And really, we mostly can't stop people from bone giving an…The Tomas room situation is sort of scary for me as is. After a big fight with demonic today and some little skirmishing (so when everyone was very much amped up), I had someone from the other team come "learn" from Tomas (yes, really), clearly in …I am surprised, but we did have a couple of people around last night who floored me with their bashing skillz. I guess they kept :bz ing awesome.Yeah, that is a good point on the mob Septus. That being the case though, having the mob exist and be very much killable seems weird. There could certainly be some kind of "aha, plot twist thing" at the end of the event on that count but that woul…Yeah, that is probably my biggest disappointment. It seemed very reasonable to me that this new "pet" absolutely should be worth protecting.So, I was curious to see what would happen if we kept Mr. Pebbles alive and healthy …Well, I can respect that, but our repop rate actually IS incredibly high... higher than most games, by a LOT - which is great in general, but really does mean that it truly is just "bash bones, bring bones"

Yeah, we lured the Wyrm to a more defendable room, and sat on it, yeah. And then, absolutely nothing happened. If there actually was some sort of benefit, it would have been nice to get SOME sort of indication of that. My thought was, keep that g…It says right on the description that it's adorable... plus, obviously evil. Just like a Shetland Pony.Next, we reinforce magick. Axes and totems as far as the eye can see.I feel like people still worry about PK XP more than would be optimal sometimes. As Septus puts it "people don't like to see numbers go down". I think PK XP is in a really good place mechanically. It seems to give people a "not utterly worthless"…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 …
He just WALKS AWAY. Oh god now Eldreth is going to show up and make me "kick guard", even though I am not sure he can actually do that
