  • We're in the Top Ten!

    Woot!
  • Voting has reset on TMS. Let's try to make it in the Top Ten this month! (I'll probably be doing reminders every so often... others feel free to also remind folks!)

    PLEASE VOTE!
  • FYI, Tacita has been getting rewarded for those audiobooks we host on the website.

    But we could also give her a special honour. Any suggestions?

  • Then again, it might give incentives to encourage gods to expand their realms...

  • Just out of curiosity, does anyone object if godrealm mobs can be used in death/harmony challenges?
  • (Quote)
    Right, all those would not count, thus, you'd have to compete more for the more limited number of mobs.
  • We will always give times in PST. We tried to do GMT in the past and ended up confusing everyone or having the times be wrong (even when they were set up by experts in GMT, something wasn't taken into account).

    So anyway, I will always pos…

  • I prefer simple rather than making exceptions or inclusions to 20 different specific areas!

    We can consider prime and aetherbubbles, though.

  • FYI, are we considering changing Death and Harmony events to only work on prime plane (or possibly just not have influences/death count in godrealms). The former would be a lot cleaner, I think.
  • For those who asked, we aren't doing refunds for trade skills at this time. Putting aside the mechanics on how to refund every tradeskill that anyone could claim they got just for the trans item and tracking down and voiding any trans skill item …

  • Hmm, the sad truth is that we have never done gold auctions before and I'm not sure we'll have time to code and test it in tiem for this auction. Certainly, I hate the thought of trying to tweak the auction code and then some bug crops up that messe…
  • Anyone care to compile a list of artifacts that we could choose to put up for auction?

  • (Quote) We haven't traditionally done gold auctions. What would you like to see?
  • (Quote) Uh, no, sorry.
  • Yeah, we're not going to do anything like adding a whole new mechanic (like adding optional delay tactics to a bunch of skills! or changing wildecall to a permanent unstrippable defense!). I'll note that we haven't actually asked for a report yet, t…
  • (Quote) I could tell you something but then I'd have to kill you! Suffice to say that not all things that were planned for release were able to be released.
  • Hmm, I might consider experience/essence... would any really use them for that though?
  • Wonder what effect it would have if anytime you are hit by the backlash of a branch or a mist if your cure balance is suddenly thrown off so you can't immediately cure it... hmm...
  • Oh, that terrible Estarra!
  • Stun was meant to be more RP than something to rely on. I'd consider a 1p skill that causes the stun to always fire though.
  • BTW, I overheard someone complaining that they couldn't take the wildewood skill and be the race of their choice. The ENTIRE skillset revolves around the idea of you being a tree (i.e., growing flowers, branches, storing sap in your trunk, etc.). Wh…
  • We looked into having treeform exist in both elevations at once but it wasn't possible code-wise (or at least not realistic in the amount of effort it would take). Thus, though you can see the druid in treeform in both elevations, you can only targe…
  • Some good suggestions but keep in mind the skillset has been out just a few hours! We'll definitely be looking at a report in the future but we're not going to be doing anything immediately (unless it's a bug or we find some huge imbalance).
  • FYI, I'm looking at a way to host them on our website!
  • I love this! And I love your voice!

    (Okay, everyone, everyone must now imagine Estarra with the voice of Tacita...)

  • (Quote) Thanks! As I usually write all these stories for year end events, I'm always ecstatic when there's positive feedback! (Thus, my shameless trolling for reading in-game.) Personally, I think the Diary of Aurelia was better written…
  • Yeah, well, it's just that I miss the excitement and buzz when someone calls everyone to the Basin for the first reading. As soon as a copy is made (and posted on the forums *cough*), there's really no big reveal because most people would have al…

    You also got this when you went back to Glomdoring:

    A shadow faeling walks in, glances at you, and says, "In the old days, when new books were found, people would gather others at the Great Library and r…

  • Bit disappointed that no one gathers everyone together and reads new history aloud to an audience. That was always a high point for me and it was quite exciting watching everyone's reaction and comments after the reading. (Even after the STRONG h…
