  • Did IRE reduce prices across all games on big credit packages?  It looks that way.  For example, a 5000 credit package with no sale/elite added used to be $1374.99, and is now $962.49.

  • Yeah, I hear most people over there do avoid classes that must raze.  No knight.

  • Hmm, that's definitely a lot faster than what I'm expecting.  I just thought remembered a couple of people telling me their ping was around 600 something or other, and that is apparently about what you can expect from "good" satellite internet, and …

  • Also, it's been awhile, but I think you know me from Discord.  You had mentioned the character you're posting on here (I think).

  • For a second, I thought "hmm, AM I"?  But, I don't think there is a Swale there (there doesn't appear to be).

  • No sensible person would : D   

    That forum smilie just isn't right...

  • Does anyone play on a satellite connection?  I know it's "feasible", and I do intend to try it sometime this winter, but just curious if anyone has actually done it.  From what I can tell, it would be not unlike playing from Japan/NZ/Australia …

  • (Quote) Yeah, I wish Lua had Python's array of learning resources, is what it boils down to.  And the long-term goal is absolutely to go back to Lua.    
  • Consider learning Python, even if you think you'd eventually like to go back to Lua. In your case, Python would also allow you to use MUSHclient, which is Septus' client of choice.  I finally decided to learn Python for exactly one reason - Python h…
  • @Dec - Any chance of a hard and fast rule for same circle (but not same city/council) defenders?  As in "same circle defenders enjoy the same protection as city and co…
  • (Quote) I am super curious about what is going on in game now (and still can't really play).  I can only guess something like "griefees become griefers", or some such.  Obviously, people are currently bountying same-circle defenders.

  • Heh, maybe it truly wouldn't work, but I'd love to see an attempt to, at the very least, give the truly "I don't like PK" crowd their very own game within IRE, and see how that goes.  If there were any PK in that game at all, it really would be very…
  • My biggest beef with PK rules has always been that they are very much intentionally vague.  At least in Achaea and Imperian.  It's really daunting to anyone who isn't totally immersed in PK, with strong mentors surrounding them. Not even just that. …
  • My thinking on shrine wars, both from experience and mentors, has come to be:  "you'd be crazy to willingly get in one most of the time, even if you think you'll 'win', but if one starts, you'd better do everything you can to finish it, and make you…
  • First, a definitely sarcastic "are we having fun yet?" to friend and foe alike.

    This being my second non-Conquest shrine war, I feel even more strongly about them than I did before.     

    Good things about shrine wars that we'd …
  • Hrm.  Owyn's logs show the rat flaring and hitting it.  So I don't know what to think then.  It is/was apparently quite an old bug (other members of the ring knew of it).

  • Most of us on that team have that locked down pretty hard, but as everyone knows, the game has a lot of very intense lag right now.  I will have to look at logs and we'll all see what, if anything, we could do differently.  

    That said, in…

  • Yeah, for sure.  I meant like, in any given circle, you're going to (often) be 'nice' to your baby sects.  That, and people -mostly- don't go after the smaller sects because it's bit too much like puppy kicking - but those shrines still contribute t…
  • I WAS THERE.  I SAW IT ALL:



    in I HEART Comment by Swale November 2018
  • DP has always been defile ready (often without building at all), due to the large amount of shrines from various sects in the pass, and the way current mechanics work.  That could become less true (for a period of time) if there were fewer legacy sh…
  • I don't know about good fun.  Not many people like shrine wars overall. Almost zero people who have really fought one, it seems like.  There can be fun parts.   

    Wow, I am sorry to hear that Anarys.  Doesn't get much more serious than tha…
  • That is totally fine, and is how many players view MUDs.  Some eventually get more invested/serious - and sect conflict is probably the deep end of that (too deep for the moment, even for the hard core enthusiasts - though not because of the PK aspe…
  • I'll start by saying that you usually won't be hunted after a window for defending your own shrines, in an established network. That said, Flame learned that... our guys actually can be hunted for that. Currently at least, that's an exception (but …
  • (Quote) How long should people have after a defile to come after you?  What if you start to help regularly?  Does that make a difference to you?  I am curious what some people are thinking on this.  I have a feeling that you are possibly as unfamil…
  • Oh yeah, we're not really set up for it.  We're the opposite of set up for a system like that.  To be honest though, just look at the amount of work that went into Conquest... Conquest was a true empire.  So, I don't know.
