  • (Quote) Great point. I think we forgot to consider kephera. My immediate thought is a new ability for kepher belts (straps?) only wearable by kephera that has slots. Any other ideas welcome!
  • My bear is named "Rough Patches"... wonder if it's trying to tell me something!
  • Who thought the bears would be so popular! They're restocked.
  • If you missed out on the bears and want one, the Czigany Wayfaire is selling them! (See Announce 2498.)
  • Looking for a couple of really cool ideas for high priced artifacts!
  • FYI, we've adjusted it to cost 150 power/hour and stackable up to 48 hours.
  • Again, the ironbark defense is STACKABLE up to 24 hours. I'm fine with adjusting numbers if anyone cares to offer suggestions!

  • (Quote) Sorry, it lasts 1 hour but is stackable up to 24 hours. Celina and I were just talking about possible tweaking of numbers, i.e., it could last for longer chunks of time or be cheaper or even be stackable for longer.
  • (Quote) Sure, we can tweak the costs, though 250 power for 12 hours seems extremely cheap (esp. if Malarious is right and communes generate 10k power a day from trees!).
  • Well, I really shouldn't have said "free" power. The idea was always that the plane that communes really protected was the prime plane, specifically the forests whereas cities had 2 other planes (an elemental and cosmic) where they could generate po…
  • (Quote) When I looked quickly at this photo, I thought she had a mohawk and said to myself, "Ah, it's a Daughter of Shaddus alright..."
  • Skin of zombie allows influencing undead but gives no bonuses for influencing undead (i.e., unlike the Book of the Dead). It also confers all bonuses and penalties of being undead (i.e., damage defense/weakness, quests will recognize you as undead, …
  • Last chance for ideas!
  • We may do another round of dingbat items this month, so if you have ideas, let us know!
  • Bump!
  • Since I haven't posted a pic of Angel in awhile, here she is checking out our new home.

  • (Quote) Because it can't be exactly defined. If you want, the definition is what the admin subjectively feel is creating a toxic atmosphere. If that's not good enough, then we will forego this experiment.
  • (Quote) Well, no, that really isn't how it works. Telling someone they are an assbag in as colourful language as you can imagine with as much psychological manipulation that you can muster will just escalate the toxicity, especially if …
  • I was responsible for removing the rants thread many years ago (and other IRE games did as well). The reason is simple, it became extremely toxic, it made some people beyond upset (including admin who were the butt of many of the attacks), it was ri…
  • Eyecandy is in the center of the casino surrounded by shops/cafes. If you do come, just join the group and I somehow doubt you'll be carded. But if you are, Ieptix and I can take you to one of the surrounding cafes or maybe we could journey to Excal…
  • (Quote) Admin retire/take breaks for all the obvious reasons, so yes life is life and sometimes it's easy to forget that those behind divine roles are human.

    I will stress that "positive feedback" keeps both new and old gods active. Con…
  • What about an artifact that you would pay 2000cr for? (That would be part of your artifact repertoir, not just for a one-time namechange, etc.).
  • Intaglio was requested by several envoys and I didn't see the harm in it since it requires max h/m/e to implement (to prevent switching races mid-combat). Honestly, I wasn't even planning on this artifact, and it was certainly not meant to pull the …
  • Equilibrium/Balance is in transition so we don't have numbers for that yet (feel free to make recommendations).

    Regeneration is 1%/level.
    Damage Resistance is 3%/level.
    Damage Enhancement is 3%/level.

    H/M/E is a littl…
  • I rarely ask for logs. If you summarize your experience, I'll trust that you are being honest!
  • We pushed the overhaul live! Again, we can spend another 6 months debating everything but this week, why not test how things actually play out and we will then be welcome to making tweaks.
  • I forget how long quicken lasts but it could be 10/10 for a short period.
  • I really want to push this live so we can see the impact. Our testing doesn't really capture what happens in reality. For example, we thought it would be hard to get to level 10 regen but it apparently is quite common (so we are looking at readjusti…
  • (Quote) There appears to be a lot of mana buffs already (roark found over 20) so I don't think it'll be skimped.

    Eq/balance buffs are in transition to the 10 level system. We are giving them very minor impact with the old sy…

  • (Quote) Just to be clear, there will be no strength stat. We are getting rid of all these stats, we are merely looking at how skills that affect old stats should change. So while we listed a lot of universal damage buffs, they ten…
