Here's one. Let orgs bounty for harvesting at shardfalls. It's one death. But believe me, it's probably one death too many (and too much being hunted at times when it is not convenient) for the kind of people who show up to shardfalls (and keep c…

I understand Defiance shrines as often having a "standoff" intent. I thought the intention (often, but not necessarily always) was to move everyone OFF the shrine, so that the fight happens in a different room (a room that isn't fully prepped, for …

(Quote) This is pretty much everything I hate about the god/player dynamic.
First, you have an admin, who was almost certainly a former player, playing an all-powerful in-game role. I already find this problematic.

Two axes > one axes. Definitely get two axes.

Also, @Sarthan, I wish I could l find this one comment from an article about gaming and XP loss... but what it basically boiled down to was this:

(Quote) People get basically "cannibalized" out of games all the time that way. You can look at a game that is doing a lot of other things right and say "it's the xp loss, rawr, danger! Consequences!", but I think that's bullshit. I think you L…

Use the autocuring, and probably Mudlet as the client. Despite some flaws, it is the most widely used client and you won't have all of two already harried people to ask questions of.
You will eventually want to set up at least some dif… -
Finally, one of those console vs. PC wars I heard about when I googled "gaming trolls trolling why why why", right here on our lil old text game forums. Wooo.I think the lack of excitement is actually exacerbating another problem, and it's so important that we get out of this rut... I think a good number of people log on out of habit, but are not remotely engaged with the game. Most, if not all of the p…Khizan is the worst. This answer covers everything. It might not make much sense now, but soon, you will understand.
And yeah, no Predator for AM pvp. Poor Predator. Outrider so neat and fun, and more straightforward, and I don't thin…It really needs the "At Your Cervix" suffix, both because there is always a pun in Dr. titles, and so that the gynecology part doesn't come off so bluntly
The need to be Champ to remove thing has been on the please do list for awhile.
I thought about essentially chaining a would-be thief to a 2-3 room radius for a small period of time, but that also has high gank potential.
I thi…I'd love it if admin occasionally logged competitive fights and posted them - even if they were fairly old. I think if you go back further than a year or two, things might change too much for the logs to be very useful, but if you publish too quick…It is honestly a bit like pulling teeth to get relatively full logs from anyone decent on any public forum, in all of the games, I think. Even here, where people are pretty generous with useful information (but not always as generous as they'd have…(Quote) Septus, this is exactly why I once argued for mostly carbon copy classes that just had different skins on top, because I could SEE the player motivation you're talking about even then. It does not take a top tier combatant to have insight…I sort of had a hunch that that might be a big part of your gripe, although you hadn't mentioned it specifically. I'd be interested to find out if it's a total dealbreaker for you though, or whether there are other ways for the game to feel excitin…I think part of what you want is more systems for single player combat. Like possibly Aetolia's Sect thing (it is not a bad idea).
We do now have Plagues, but they are sort of broken... and when it really comes down to it, they can be …You just enjoy saying how bad people are (even if it is true). All of the games went through a similar progression with systems.
But what about Jeremy wholesale doing away with XP loss? Seriously. I dug up that thread and was fascina…Actually, I can think of a couple of illustrative incidents, which show how far this pendulum has swung.
Both involve a rather chilly admin reaction to players murdering other players who were already open PK during "events". And these…I disagree with a lot of this, but I do think we may have gone WAY to far in not wanting to ever inconvenience non-coms (or just bads like me) ever. And part of me is afraid to even say that, because I have experienced the other extreme, where we w…Yes. It's also got a bit of a lolpk rep (depending on who you talk to), which will make horribly pleased with yourself.>.> Maybe. At least I would have a sense of ownership, sure (and that does help)...
But I feel like it would still be a super beep boopy combat environment, which was my main point.I've now seen firsthand what super fancy group affliction stuff looks like, and where that road goes (it goes to Aetolia).
And it is kind of like I thought.
Instead of making my own horrible, Sanford and Son "system", I reali…I mean, I feel it is mostly pretty loose? But you obviously can't just jump random people because rawr that guy is from Stavenn. Most people (including me) don't want to be hunted 24/7 by super awesome PK-er guy.
But like, as some examp…They did. It's great. Sometimes we have lots and lots of great PK.
Some of us are still basically wusses. When you strip away the real penalties, it absolutely gives people who would otherwise never participate the chance to do so. …Infestation was a HUGE hit, if it is the thing I am thinking of (pretty sure it is). You almost couldn't go wrong doing that, no.I will be honest. I am actually wondering if admin is trying to take the game in a VERY different direction. Like, an emphatically less PK-oriented direction. I doubt they'd answer anyway though (or, I mean, you aren't going to get a straight ans…Aetolia seems to be in this super weird/awkward spot with combat. There are definitely some fights on a daily basis though.
This one guy gave me Aetolia History X, and also I am super nosy and talked to other people too...
…God. Dimitri is the liverwurst spoiler
