  • (Quote) Look, you can take the position that everyone agrees with you and that you speak for everyone, but it's not going to move me or constructively add to the conversation. I'll review arguments (if there are any) on their own merits…
  • Heh, let's not grandstand and say that things like "listen to us" as though speaking for everyone. Just speak on your own behalf. There's lots of opinions and considerations, and of course, we fully expected some people would be interested in this a…
  • Uh, like I said, it's a last resort that we may consider after some time has passed (at least a month) and all other avenues are exhausted.

  • Just to clarify, you can't bid up an auction then immediately resell the item at a profit. We have, in special circumstances in the past, made arrangements that allowed someone else to purchase the item at the auction price if the winner is unable t…
  • Of course, we've spent over a year trying to move our afflictions to a db system and still aren't finished with that project! And, yeah, I think afflictions are more of a priority in the long run, though it'd be even less noticeable to players. (It …
  • It's not in its own db because we followed some legacy code when we were first founded. That's what I've been trying to say! Anything we need to do would require rewriting the entire under-the-hood system, which is not a small project.

    Y…
  • (Quote) Of course, it's possible, but it would require rewriting every skillset AB list in the code, which is hundreds and hundreds of lines.
  • We've actually discussed doing something like Aetolia (whereby you could see how many lessons to the next skill) but it would require rewriting every skillset display as well as a lot of under-the-hood code. It'd be a massive project and I've never …
  • (Quote) Great idea!
  • Voting has reset! Aetolia beat us last month! Can we beat them this month? You know what to do...

    VOTE!!!

  • FYI, I told the envoys the other day that we are open to updating some afflictions in the envoy reports. For example, what if you are afflicted with the worms and dysentery affliction, there is some third effect (more bleeding, damage, harder to cur…
  • (Quote) We've tried that before but the results were pretty horrible.
  • Bump!
  • The best way to keep on top is to get an early lead! Let's do eeet!

  • (Quote) Heh, was wondering if anyone would recognize the quotes!
  • I really rather wish we didn't say anything about any possible wicca update. It seems to cause more issues than it's worth--one reason why I don't announce upcoming plans! Several years ago I promised something to players and wasn't able to deliver …
  • (Quote) We probably shouldn't have said that as it was confusing, though it was part of our inner discussion. There were other concerns with Report 1002, namely having double afflictions and the afflictions suggested (i.e., slickness an…
  • (Quote) Not sure where you got that impression that you can't give reports on fae!

    (Can't give any timetables on any possible future release, fyi.)
  • Doesn't everyone think they're the red headed stepchild?

    (I say that I'm considered the red head stepchild a lot!)
  • (Quote) Not quite sure what you mean by "atmosphere" but I will reiterate that nothing "automatically rejects" a report. I'm not sure what your examples are that 'proves' a report is automatically rejected but from my perspective, there…
  • (Quote) I'm not sure who stated that but I do not believe it is true. If an envoy's report is for a guild not his or her own, then that is taken into consideration (not disallowed) and we look closely to see if this isn't an 'envoy war' or some sor…
  • There's a few tickets up if you are looking!

    Ironcon Tickets


  • We're in the Top Ten but behind Aetolia! GULP! You know what to do!
  • We're almost back in the Top Ten!!!
  • We did a great job getting into the Top Ten last month!

    It's now a new month! TMS has reset so you know what to do...

    VOTE!

  • If you're talking about Static, you guys really should figure out how the skill works before jumping to the conclusion that it must be "ridiculously strong". (If you're not talking about Static, not sure what you're referring to!)

  • We're doing great this month! We're currently No. 7!!

    Keep on voting!
  • FYI, here's what Magnagora's landmarks look like:

    Notable locations within the City of Magnagora are:
               Cityzoo - City Zoo
              Megalith - Megalith of Doom
          Bloodtheatre - Theatre of Bloody Threnodies

  • We're now No. 7. How'd MKO get to be No. 3? Let's catch up, people!
