I can totally see it being a pain to do something for only one event,

I'm not too familiar with the psychics guild tree, so this might
exist beyond my knowledge...
I think a good psychics spell would be to 'convince' assisting
monsters to attack their comrades. (The assisting mob would work
like an animist's animals, ie. the caster would receive the xp from
the assisting mob. As soon as the assistng mob was dead, the
controlled monster would become agro to the caster or his party.
This would be good for use in assisting mob areas, or like an area
spell. Again, I'm not sure if this exists or is possible.

Afaik, if an animist animal gets the kill, the animist
gets no exp. ;) This would be a neat
high level ability for dispatching blockers,
but I don't know any way to balance it.
I can see some psychic ordering one monster to fight another, then
leap in and blast whichever got to vb shape first.
Maybe balance with chance of failure causing all the monsters in the room
to turn on the psychic..

If an animist's familiar gets a kill, the animist gets the xp from
it. The only exception to this that I am aware of is when the
animist is not in the same room as the familiar that got the killing
blow, at the instant that the mob dies.
How this could be worked into mob stuff though.. I am not sure..
Perhaps, with such a change, if the 'assisting' mob gets the kill,
he also should get the xp. firstly because he got the kill, but more
importantly, because such a spell would need to have some kind of
drawback to balance the potential advantages it would provide.

subject: corpse eating idea
date: Thu Jul 18 04:07:22 2002
In a game I play called ADOM, when your character
eats some monster corpse, there are sometimes
side effects good/bad.
Was wondering if we could put that into monster
code here? I'd guess it could
go into races or just be an
eat corpse effect thing the
builder could add into their monsters.
The effects of eating weird normal size monsters might
range from nothing, to getting poisoned(ate spidranox),
to being flame resistant awhile(ate a fire creature?),
to become hungrier(ate bugs/vomitted?).
If you ate the corpse of some eq monster, maybe you'd
get a small stat or resistance boost that
lasts until your next reinc.
In the game, different player races handle corpses they ate
in different ways- like trolls can eat whatever the hell
they want and never get sick from it, elves and good kinds of
races lose alignment, evil races become more evil, dwarves
can't eat orcs and the like.
Special kinds of monsters like crystal people might be made to
leave piles of broken crystal instead of corpses. Shadows and
ghosts would be reduced to wisps of smoke
on being killed.
I dunno, but I think eating corpses could be
made into something more interesting. Doesn't feel right
having any old raw corpse of some funky monster you just killed
make you feel more stiated or feel better.
Just my nickel,
Pedron Healer

this would be cool but it would be unfair for those who cannot eat
corpses. Besides, the main reason for corpse eating is to regen
faster and eat, so these races already have advantages like this.
Maybe instead of eat corpse - manifestation spell/skill that allows
the caster to inherit something from a monster for a short time?

I think healing from corpse eating should be removed. Currently it
gives around +30 hp/sp/ep per eating a corpse, which is quite silly
and quite an advantage. It's food, they're eating it, you don't get
healed from eating a carrot either. Eating corpses should provide
sustenance, nothing more.

I believe the primary penalty to a race for corpse eating is in
exprate, not in lower stats, but either could be bartered for in an

This spell, Blood storm, found in the omicron guild, of high priest
says that it is a very powerful spell.
I have all 105%+masteries, and still only do very high dmg with it,
it costs a substantial amount of blood, and does not so great dmg.
Anyway, possibly lower the blood amount taken, or up the spell
damage, it would atleast add some balance to the guild imo, thanks.

I have to agree with litho here. Blood storm and in fact most harmer
spells are under powered. Blood storm seems to get the short end of
the stick, especially since it's an omnicron spell. Maybe upping the
damage a bit, adding a few more rounds to the casting time would be
an adequate tune. fear...I said tune...

It ought to make you sick sometimes, feeel great or get high other

I agree it makes little sense for eating a corpse to heal
wounds unless it was some neat magical creature like
elves or unicorns or something.
And it's only +30 hp/sp/ep for killing 200k monsies or
something. Rest of us gotta nuke a heap of small ones

but also maybe make some say in traveller guild to butcher the meat then

This is already possible, if a little painful. The onus is,
however, on the builder. Builders can make monsters that

[Well, i don't exactly know the reasons for this, but i'm probably
not the only one wondering, so i'll go ahead and make this
suggestion and see what happens]
I've noticed that a mob that wanders into a room becomes the
first mob in the room (the top one, which IDs as first mob).. so if
there is any time-discrepancy within the party for initiating
skill/spell attacks on a mob, there is the chance that another mob
will wander in during the gap and me mistakenly targeted as well.
Really i'm just wondering why a mob that wanders in becomes the
first mob in the room - and if it would be possible to change that
so a mob that wanders in becomes the last mob? It is probably too
complicated to change that feature, but thought i'd ask anyway - i
think it would make sense if you think about what a fictional group
of adventurers would do - a blaster who is slow isn't going to see
some 2nd mob wander in and think "hey, i'm gonna be a rebel and
attack THAT one instead".. if it is a game balance issue then you
could just up the chance of an assist, i don't know, that seems more
realistic anyway than what i would label "unrealistic targeting
confusion". thanks for listening

1. (Pedron, Rufrin buys low, and sells at low/average prices... Some
items he buys high and sells higher, but that is mostly on items
that have stats that no-one wants... This is just an observation
based on the last 6 months of eq prices and parties.) I agree that
he should tell stats just like most players should too, mostly since
i can't say "Hey Rufrin what are the stats, slots, mb, weight,
monster eq was taken from, worth of monster, and location?" I think
that this would be a wonderful idea specially for items that are not
on eq pages.
2. In regards to Druids and the Find Herbs skill, why not just give
them motion control that will cut down the time spent idly gathering
herbs. Since alot of times not all the herbs can be found on one
isle it takes a while to move around, and speed can sometimes be of
the essence, when you are setting up. (unless you sit in a city and
gather herbs...which i think is kinda bunk...) And its not like

They may take a while, but woodsmen do have motion control, and find
herbs - perhaps more druids should buy their herbs off woodsmen :-)

Tell the slower blasters to not use the syntax " cast at a
". Tell them to use instead " cast ". Offensive
spells default their target to the monster that is in combat with
the caster and since the entire party is pulled into combat when one
member of the party goes into combat, this proves to be a safe and
effective manner of partying.

This would be fair, assuming that you were to give woodsmen Quick
chant, since effectively, while not used often, spells do play a
large part of woodsman playability. (speaking of which, quick chant
should also be modified to be similar to motion control in that
being in combat negates the mastery, all skills and spells should
have a measure of randomness in their using/casting time, and a
general mastery similar to HEF should be coded for skills; These
changes would all be to rectify the complete lack of balance between
fighter types and caster types that currently exists.)

Maybe there's way to make 'calc' command based on some OS calculator.
Also maybe cool options for this command: skill and spell.
So '>calc spell identify 90' checks your spell rate and base spell

I will start to say I am glad to see that we are no longer severely

I do think, however, that it would be in our best interest to
delimit this to some reasonable number, in the event that a player
typos a large number and ends up in a massive sequence.
My recommendation is a top limit of 99. There really shouldn't be
much, if any, need for a value higher than this.

What is your thinking on why a limit is necessary?
if the player does some huge sequence he only hurts

My consideration on this is not to protect the mud, but the player.
I have no need to do something 25,000 times ... nor does anyone
else. Why should the mud waste processor time (even if it only
affects that one player) performing a routine thousands of times,
that the player DOESN'T want to do anyway?
The personal thought that came to me in this was ... what if I typo
and do something that spams me out and causes me to die that I
didn't intend to do.

Theres a large lack of eq being done mostly because there are no

Hi, Im an abj. I do eq. I believe it was two nights ago we did
chara, lavos, ghazi, gangreal, aquaria and typhoon.
Pretty good imho.
I also know of 2-3 other abjs capable of doing eq.
The main lack Ive seen lately has been healer/tanks but the tank
problem seems to have been fixed by some recent reincs.
I also have found a few new healers, so i expect more eq to be done
in the near future.

I have a great suggestion to solve one of the biggest problems.
The world should use a single time zone. I mean, who really cares
if it is dark during the day and light at night? It would be worth
that to get people on at the same time. EQ parties seem to start
at six in the morning my time, and this eminently sensible
suggestion would solve that problem.

I don't know if this would pose any difficulties,
but it would be really nice if we could have an
inventory screen similar to the format of the score
screen. It might enable us to see all of our inv on
one screen without having to scroll up and down.
Maybe you could fit four or five columns in the box,
each column for each item group.
Just a suggestion, I think it would remove an annoyance

we deal with everyday. This new format wouldn't necessarily
have to replace the current format, rather, it could be
another option just as jscore is to score.

Wasn't there something about the net having it's own unique version

I recall winning the event, and the armor, tho nice, was useless to
me as (iirc)
it is caster eq, although the AC was good. Considering that the
suit of feathers
is only sellable to shops really (since it only fits the winner of the event),
maybe there could be some check as to the guild of the wearer, and if
mage/cleric/druid give spr and caster stuffs, if figh

Ought to be some altars where we can sacrifice food and gold

the more they offer, healers gain more good alignment.

i was wondering if it would be difficult to make the enchanter in

the bank does.
If it is not difficult, it would be much apreciated by people who use him.
the way it is now causes confusion among people trading parts.
Though i dont think it has happened to me, it also opens up the
possibility of people cheating others.
if it is difficult ignore my post, but i was just putting my two

Great job with the area for whoever coded it, thanks.

The exp rate used to be in the summary, however, it was taken out
because it made no sense at all and was not even accurately usable.
This exp would be taking the total time of your login into affect
rather then just the time that you fight the monsters, which
includes all kinds of idle time, thus creating a very inaccurate exp
rate. This number would be totally useless, create a party.

Something about it making characters too powerful. Pretty sure
loss of the wishes only kicked the crap out of woodsman/traveler
and fighter guilds though. (As evoker, I could
still shoot 1-round vir strikes and knockout
100k+ worth monsies by myself. As healer, I have a 99.9999999%
chance of a 1-round 800 hp heal. Thief stabbing any faster
might be nice power, but he'd tap in 3 seconds
with skill speed so no real harm there-
fighter 1-2 round biofeedbacks surviving
against all odds, and woodsman heaping up tons
of herbs much faster to never tap are the only
unbalancing kinds of things I could think of..)
Harmer faster drain and cauldron faster potions than what
qc already gives might be a little over the top too.
I say they should've made skill/spell speed into greater wishes
rather than flat remove em. Woodsman had me banging my head
on walls searching for firewood and herbs while I
fought rather than mess with the active combat skills
so I could have the herbs when I needed them. ;) Tanking large exp
parties got
alot harder when I couldn't biofeedback myself superfast
in a pinch when healers slacked off as well. ;)
Ah well, think I'm done ranting. Maybe give fighter/rogues a
mastery or protection spell to speed up
their active combat skills if not give back
the skill/spell speed wishes..

motion control sucks, it only works on out of combat skills.
take me for example i do 1 backstab and then 25 stabs on avg per
monsie, that 1 loss of round in the bstab means nothing in
comparasion to what would happen if it is in combat.
If it worked like quick chant i think it would be alot better.

Motion control was a half-effort. It works only while out of combat,
and with the exception of bard, all fighter guilds are all designed
around being in combat for melee/special attacks to work, therefore
making this skill either useless, or forcing the player out of
combat to make use of the mastery, therefore making 90% of his other
abilities useless.

Guys,
The skill/spell speed wishes were removed for a REASON.
They made it impossible to tune things, so they won't be making
a return any time soon.

It only works outside combat, which makes it useless for warrior-subtree
figs. Anything they do outside combat isn't urgent. So what if
it takes a few more seconds to put Resist Pain up? You only have
to do it once every 10 minutes or so.
A faster biofeedback skill would be nice, but it wouldn't
really matter that much. If you need faster biofeedback, you're
fighting something too big anyway. As for attack skills, we
already tap in less than two minutes when chaining attack skills.
IOW, I don't think skillspeed wishes would affect warriors
(and following guilds) anyway.

I agree. That would help alleviate some hard feelings I have
noticed lately. But then again, if you are going to be idle, put an
away message on. I understand it is customary to finger someone
before an invite anyway. This would tell people that you are idle
and they will move on to the next available player. And don't
expect the game to go on *pause* mode just because you are idle.
The game goes on, killing goes on, and I know Jaws wouldn't wait for
you... Quit griping. (*waits for falmes to appear*)

it does with skill reliant guilds like rogue, espically now that we
go into autocombat. If say the time on stab went from 2 rounds to 1

2 rounds is plenty fast enough to be using a skill dood, 1 round
skill would be insanely powerful, especially with all the friggin

Should have seen me tromping around
with 1-round virulent strikes. ;) Rogue couldn't touch it.
As for tapping in 3 seconds problem- corpse eating pretty well
wiped that out for me as nav/evoker. I'd go vaporize
a big room full of minotaurs or something to regenerate and keep on smoking
stuff with my 1-round virulent strike. Afaik, vir strike is at least
as powerful as the best stab/throw a rogue can do excepting maybe an
instakill from heart throw. Better the 2 round blasting for less
tappiness, but there are plenty of times where
speed matters more than tapping..
there were more reasons in pk, but still a few
reasons hanging around right now. :)

Of course blasters can do more damage with spells, they're meant to,
thieves also have some mediocre fighting skills and can't discount
instant kills and bleeds. Of course thieves need to be redone, just
no one has gotten a way to do them yet, they are obviously not
inline with other guilds. Though I wouldn't put a blaster across an
MA in overall dmg output. The point is that we are getting off the
topic of the discussion. Skillspeed and spellspeed wishes would
create a great deal more power in the players that have them and
would cause the wizards to tune the crap out of some spells and
skills simply because of players having those wishes.

Ah well, I'm done arguing.
500m omicron well trained and skilled in each of the guild
trees could probably match any other in
overall exp rate and recovery speeds unassisted.
Thief just needs all it's pk stuff refitted to work on normal
monsters and the omicron to bring it all to a head.

due to the previous events, i figured i would suggest something.
Sometimes people just want to quit the game, permanently to remove
the desire to play. but undoubtedly, time will pass, and they will
want to play again. Perhaps i have a plausible suggestion.. maybe
make a 10 room area, each room filled with a blocker. a hard
blocker, but not an impossible one, but one it would take a highbie
to kill. 0 gold on these monsters, and make them worth 1 or
something to avoid any use of this place as an xp place. the last
monster should be something only a highbie could kill. upon killing
it, they could be promoted to "Legend" or "myth" or something, and
recorded in a book. but their character would be unplayable. maybe
put a statue of them in a statue room. this would let people retire
with respect. then, if they wanted to come back later, make them
solve some quest or something. something that would take awhile..
and alot of work. or maybe make them build an area or something like
that, to discourage people doing it on a whim, just to have a
statue. it just seems that something like this would really let
people that wanted to retire, retire with respect due to the many
hours they spent. Of course, this would only be a benefit to
highbies, who would deserve something like that.. the lowbies would
just have to freeze as usual, but hey, when you read about history,
its the generals and kings you read about, not the farmers. just my
opinion, what do you think?

Perhaps come up with a slightly more useless spell? Sorry to be
negative but this spell compares in usefullness and accuracy to the
consider command. the only diff is it has more descriptive (and
vulgar) terms its comes up with and it also shows the targets sp.

I don't mean to come off as a whiner or anything, but I think
it is really silly that a gem, an herb or a piece of bread each
weigh a pound. I understand that it is difficult to code items
to weigh less than a pound, but I was wondering if a way around
this would be to make a full herb pouch weigh 1 pound, a full gem
bag weigh 3 pounds, and a full food canvas bag weigh 5 pounds or
something to that effect. As it stands now...carrying 40 herbs,
40 gems, and 5 pieces of food adds 85 pounds and that is just too
silly. Forty herbs should not weigh more than my blackmon platemail made
of steel which only weighs 7 pounds :)
Just my 2 cents,

This is part of the reason that we have lots of areas. So that you
can look elsewhere.
Regardless of whether this is an issue or not, this post seems to be

I guess it is worth pointing out for the newer players
that the damage you see in the help file is only a guide
to exactly how much damage you make.
For the players who are not new, and merely enjoy posting
requests for tunes to suit their personal circumstance and
take the opportunity to tell everyone their stats, well
they can ignore this post.

Since I haven't done mudding in about 5 years, you'll have to bear
with me. So there. :P I've thought about proposing ideas for new
weapons/equipment/armor, and run it by the rest of you spodders for
your input.
Weapons:
Arbequs - your basic long rifle, circa late 1600s or so. Slow-
burning fuse, takes about 5 or 6 rds to load and fire, but can
cause medium to heavy damage to an opponent. Bonus attack/dmg
against heavily-armored opponents.
Braveheart's Claymore - 2-handed sword, can be held in one hand
by fighters. Can cause 2-3 times damage on critical hits.
Excalibur - need I say more? :)
Armor:
Dragonhide armor - strong armor, highly resistant to physical and
magical attacks.
Enchanted Elven Mithril shield - grants additional defense against
physical attacks.
Helm of Reflection - automatic reflection of gaze/magical/psionic attacks
Any questions/comments/additions/retractions/subtractions are welcome...

I suggest you take some time and find out what stuff is already in
the game. The game is quite full of weird and nice stuff. The
problem with extraordinary good stuff is that they tend to be
unbalancing. For example Excalibur exists, but for good reasons it
is not saveable.

I was saying, until you had to go on an ego trip, baer, that i have
both spells maxxed, and was using my affecting stat (wis) as a
guideline, perhaps an omicron spell should do more dmg then a bravo,
have all affecting masteries 105%+ and it still says very high, as
does white flame.
Perhaps someone can look into it (other then Baer), because its
obvious that you rather be rude then make a statement/help.

It will be made into a history of RD (rise and fall) and
will be put in the library. Waz wrote the original history
when we changed names, and we took it and ran from there
(expanded on it a bit).

I suggest that the event runs as a once-per-year event to let the
rest gain the task point and the thrill of experiencing the titanic
battles.
I DON'T think that the unique eq dropped should be available on the
reruns as that would only make them common items instead of the
truly memorable almost legendary items they are at the moment.
the event (Destruction of RDC) could perhaps run once per year,
where RDC would re-appear as a ghost-city say on the Mud's B-day and
perhaps combine it with a double-xp time.
feel free to flame away at the ideas :)

First of all, it's nice that things are changing on the
mud - parts that are taken for granted are suddenly no
more and new elements are introduced. This keeps the
game alive and lets you enjoy it for longer.
Nevertheless, I regret a bit, that the recent major
event could not be enjoyed by everyone. I see, however,
that it does not fit well into the storyline to announce
what would have happened.
Therefore, this could maybe be forged into some kind of
seldomly run event (or maybe even quest), so that more
people could go through it. Unfortunately, I don't know
everything of what happened, but I could picture it like
this...
To commemorate these gruesome, past events, mighty wizards
of Islands of Myth could create a time travel portal -
this can of course be done only very few times, due to the
constellation of the stars/moons. Players could enter the
portal and arrive in RDC shortly before the incidents. Of
course, they can not leave the old city during that event.
Furthermore, during the event, once you entered the portal,
there is no way back to the current time - so dying will
take you back into the old city. I am not sure, how long
it should be run and if you can recreate the atmosphere
that was present then, but maybe having a short glimpse
at these historical incidents might be a nice things for
those that were not present...
Comment are welcome...

For the record I would like to say, that there was a ranger in the
sanctuary that told a good deal what happened.
Lucifer has been counting down the time to he expected
'crowds' of peopel in hell for 5 days, yesterday he got
exact to the hour it was going to happen.
It was mentioned on many channels about lucifer counting
down to 'something'.
Sadly very few people connected the dots in this.
So players did have the information neded to know exactly
when this was going to happen.
The tiem travel idea is not a bad though, however there
was a reason behind the city getting destroyed not just
'because'. We are no longer Red Dragon, Darkstaff has
the mud named Red Dragon, so Red Dragon City,
and Red Dragon Island hardly made sense anymore, and
a simple name change while accomplishing the same
goal was not as much fun. Not to mention it allowed
us to create a bigger city (which most of us always thought
the major city on the mud was too small).
We did rush the city getting done a bit, so there are still
some missing rooms and the like, but it will continue to
be worked on.

I was going to do a separate praise, but I'll just include
it in here anyway. To the wizards and designers of the Sack
of RDC, you really outdid yourselves. It was an amazing ride
full of plot, intrigue and lots of xp. :) I am astonished you
were able to come up with such a great idea and put it into
practice in such a relatively short time. Y'all deserve a huge
pat on the back, not the sour grapes you've been receiving.
To those of you that missed it, I'm very sorry. You missed a
truly amazing event/quest/party. I don't, however, think your
ideas of asking the wizards to re-run the event is a good one.
To repeat the event would make it "just" another cool event.
Most of it's shock value would be gone. Instead of huddling
around trying to avoid all the scary dragons in RDC, reading
the announcements, and trying to figure out what in the hell
is going on, you'd just be thinking 'Hey! Free XP and I finally
get that damned task point!'
The mystery and uniqueness of the event would be gone. Everyone
knows what happened and what would happen. I realize I'm one of
those ones that always teases about an xp button, but I'd hate
to see the wizards cave in and run it again just so those that
missed it can do it. You wouldn't be 'doing it'. You'd just be
given a free xp event to play in.
Again, I'm sorry you missed it, but re-running it isn't the answer.

Just in case you guys didnt know..
It is really 4 people that did 90% of the work if not
more.
Daneel wrote a new event driver for us, that entire event was
automated and had no wiz intervention (other than me
destroying the dragons, we slightly mis calculated
how many there would end up being, and the lag that would cause.
It really wasnt lag, but if you wnat the boring details
of how the driver works you can ask me privately. )
Daneel also wrote 5 or 6 new events (the gods helping)
plus the main event driver, the wandering gnosis, lucifer,
the generals and all the dragons.
Nyx, Friski, daneel -- rewrote the ruined city, while at the
same tIme creating illium.
Waz - Wrote the original 'history' for the fall of RDC,
and I think it was Daneel that said hey lets turn
it into a major attack/event.
for the record Waz has also written histories for the
other islands (at least a couple of them). I think that
will become a new requirement for areas to have a 'story' that
goes with them int he library.

Sorry, but I think you are getting some things wrong. The reason
why I asked for being able to experience the event again is not
for stupid tps or exp, I don't care about that at all. It's more
about also living through this unique event. It would also honor
the work the wizards had creating it. Even if there might have
benn signs on when it would happen, some players might have had
other issues, been on holiday or whatever. Why do you want to
withhold this unique event from the people that were not there?
You had the luck to be online at that time, but probably a lot of
others have missed it. If you are only concerned about tps or exp -
remove that from the event or reduce it. But from my point of view,
it's about something different - experiencing an marvelous incidident
in the game...

I will put this to rest. The actual event with players interacting
with it was a one time deal. It will not be replayed.
However at this point I ( I have not checked with the others)
am thinking of other ways to potentially relive the event
(not participate though, kind of a fly on the wall type of thing).
This may just turn out to be histories/chronicles of the event in
the library, or may be more, much is up in the air.
But I promise you its a 1 time event for players to
actually do it.

Unique - being the only one, being without a like or equal.
You yourself call it a unique event. What part of unique
means it should be repeated and played over? If you are truly
the saint that you say, and only want to relive the history
part, Zif and others have stated there will be logs/books in
the library feel free to relive it as many times as you like,
just through the power of your imagination.
> It would also honor the work the wizards had creating it.
Wouldn't it honor them more by simply praising them for their
work, rather than whining that you missed it? I would think
all the whining would simply tell them it's not worth doing
anything spectacular because there will be too many complaints
afterwards.
> Why do you want to withhold this unique event from the people
Again you with the unique. I'm not withholding it, I'm simply
saying that you relive nothing if the event is played again.
You only gain the xp/tp. Seriously, how often do you read the
introduction to a NoSuck? Do you hang on the introduction with
baited breath to find out what comes next? Or do you just sit
there, glancing at the words just to see how much longer until
you get the super stats? The first time I saw a Nosuck, I did
just that. I read it, I thought it was way funny, I couldn't
wait to see what happened next, and blamo! I got hit with tons
of spammy goodies. I can pretty much guarantee you that I don't
feel the same kind of rush. Now it's more like 'damn why'd they
have to put such a long introduction into it'.
Yes, I was very lucky to be online and unidle. I'm sure there
were lots of people that missed it. In fact I know of a couple
people that actually logged off while it was running because
they didn't want to die. *shrug* You win some, you lose some.
Last time I checked this wasn't a socialist mud. Everyone does
not get an equal share of xp, tps, or events.
Be contented with the logs/histories that will be written for
the library. One of the great things about history is that once
it's over, only the best survives. The bugs and errors are over
looked. I can almost promise that if the event were run again
those bugs and errors would be blindly obvious, and everyone
would be complaining about the crappy coding of the event rather
than how spectacular it was. Read the logs, use your imagination.
After all, isn't that why we all play this text based game anyway? :)

Perhaps I can put this to rest (I'd think Zif's post would have,
but... *shrug*).
The event _can't_ be rerun. I know of at least one file that,
barring a lucky backup, is just gone. The event made permanent
file changes in the mud.
That being said, the event driver is there, and I hope to make
the code for this thing publicly available on 10k - I hope some
builders will take advantage of it to write things like little
mini-events for the opening of their areas. And if someone
wanted to run a complex recurring event using it, I would be
far from averse.

subject: Secondary vs: alpha
date: Sun Aug 11 00:07:11 2002
I'm going to use cleric as an example, because its my post.
1) Someone with a primary alpha in cle should be better (the term
'better' in this case means 'more effective') than someone with a
secondary alpha in cle.
2) This means, that, they should have to do less work (ie, spend
less time/effort) to accomplish essentially the same thing (the job
of a cleric in a party).
3) A healers job primarily, is to heal the tank, refresh the tank,
cast party prots (like entock and martyric presence), and to blast,
and to revive people if they die, and to occasionally prot the tank
or cast information-gathering spells like estimate worth
4) On this mud, we measure progress by experience. Some, choose to
measure progress by amount of gold in the bank, or amount of eq
acquired and hoarded, or who has the most dicksize (excuse the
expression), but, the main plaque measures things by EXPERIENCE.
This means that, time = experience.
5) Hence, the point,
I'm going to make things up here, PLAYER A is a primary cle, with
350m worth. PLAYER B is a level 71 anything, with joining cleric as
his second alpha, per the option to do so at level 70. He also has
an extra 350m because he is big, and has spent considerably more
work gaining exp at this point.
6) Player A, upon spending 350m in the cle guild, is capable of
doing all kinds of things. Starting levelcost is 9 or something now.
9 exp out of 350. So he gets up to level whatever, lets say level 60
because I didn't clarify skillmax/spellmax/etc. He has 60 glevels
worth of cleric shit, he has refresh, he has revive, he has entock,
he has hef, he has pfe, he has allll sorts of cleric abilities, and
he is a decent level, so his regen isn't too bad, and his masteries
are all up there. He is a good fucking cleric.
7) Player B, who spent 350m in the cle guild after he was level 71,
ONLY was able to get to a level 89 ish total, or a level 19 ish
cleric. This means, that for the same WORK cost (EXP = WORK), he is
going to be a level 19 cleric, nothing more than a njuubie cleric,
having only small alpha and beta spells/skills. He fucking sucks as
a cleric. The fact that he has 89 regular levels will make up for
this, and player A will be a considerably better cleric, even though
the amount of WORK/EXP spent in the guild was the same. However,
since there are no penalties to the second alpha other than the huge
exponential exp cost for low-level spells/skills.
Player A bought low level spells/skills at a low level cost and high
level spells/skills at a higher cost
Player B bought his normal 70 levels, and then 19 ish levels of low
level skills for a highass cost
This seems fair, right?
Oh wait. The secondary cle (player B) is further penalized by having
roughly a 1.5x increase in EVERY ASPECT OF COST on his secondary
spells/skills. This means 150% of the spcost, 150% of the training
cost (to further penalize his exp value) and 150% of the epcost if
he uses skills. This is penalizing him for using the skills, after
already setting a formidible barrier to him even acquiring them in
the first place.
Player A has no such penalty, instead, he can train his masteries.
Player B, has a penalty, it is difficult to GAIN his stuff, and it
is difficult to USE his stuff. Instead, it should only be difficult
to gain his cle stuff, and he should not have the further 150% cost
penalty after he has learned the spells.
If they were so hard to learn, how are they that hard to use?

subject: Piety...
date: Sun Aug 11 03:04:01 2002
As the deities of Islands of Myth are becoming more prominents, I
suggest worship of them plays a role in the MUD...
A player may, if they wish, become a worshipper of a deity.
If they do so, their piety becomes an issue. If they don't,
their piety is zero. Each deity provides benefits to theor
worshippers, of a form relevant to the deity's attributes. Ona, for example,
would provide protection in battle, while Dhrugs would provide greater
ferocity in battle (more damage). The degree of aid would depend on
the worshipper's piety.
This could possibly be implemented as an item, similar to race
leader EQ in that it does not take a standard slot and similar
to guild item eq in that it's power is variable, determined
by the wearer's piety in a similar way to how guild item power
is determined by the wearer's guild mastery. The item of
a worshipper of Ona could provide phys_res, that of Dhrugs
could provide +damage or +strength, for example. Whatever
is appropriate to the deity's nature.
Of course, there are negative aspects to worship, to maintain
a balance. Piety would reduce over time and would start at
zero. Worshippers must actively increase and maintain their
piety. A few suggestions on this:
DEVOTION: A worshipper spends some time in worshipful devotion.
This takes perhaps 10 minutes, perhaps implemented as a
skill of extremely long duration. Messages could be made
that would be relevant to the deity concerned. For example,
a worshipper of Dhrugs could devote an intense combat training
session to their God. To prevent this becoming merely something
to do while idling, it would only be effective perhaps twice
a day and a worshipper could not use emotes, channels, tells or#
speech during their devotion, because their full concentration
is on it. Other players would need to know this, to prevent
the devotion being seen as rudeness. Perhaps messages given
in response to tells and room-messages at regular intervals.
DEDICATION: A worshipper dedicates the soul of a mob they are
fighting to their deity. They recieve zero xps for killing it.
In a party, it only applies to the person(s) Dedicating the kill
to their deity - others will get their normal share. That doesn't
fit well with all the deities, though.
SACRIFICE: Straight sacrifice of something of material value, usually
gold.
Alignment would become a key issue. Being coaligned with your deity would
greatly reduce piety loss. Being misaligned would greatly
increase it, depending on how badly misaligned you were.
Negative piety could be allowed, with penalties rather than
bonuses. This would make it necessary to store a player's piety with
each deity, so they couldn't lose negative piety by switching from
one deity to another and back again, or to no worship and
back again.
I volunteer to write the messages for this if it is implemented.
I suspect that it would require major rewriting and may not
be practical, but I suggest it because it would bring the
deities of Islands of MUD into the game to a larger extent and
allow more roleplaying for those who wish it, without making
it necessary (people don't have to worship a deity and not doing so
will not be detrimental to a player, if the balance between benefits
and inconvenience is made properly).

AS it is now woodsman have 3 choices in weaponry, shield and blade,
staff, and 2 blades. Shield and blade is most defensive, staff is
in the middle, and 2 blades is most offensive. When a woodsman uses
the skill whirling branches he uses both blades in his attach but
when he uses avenging fury he only uses a single blade. There
should be a damage bonus on avenging fury for the use of 2 blades.
it appears to be one on whirling branches but that I am not sure of.
Just don't quite understand why when wielding 2 blades a woodsman
would not use both orr get a damage bonus for having the 2 with
avenging fury.

When I first read this I honestly just thought "If I were a wiz I'd
change the message to say you use both blades just to make him
happy"
But I really don't think there needs to be added damage or anything.
You said yourself you are more offensive(therefore doing more damage
already) with the use of 2 blades, so why would a skill be changed.
Plus(I don't know if this is relevent or whatnot as I am not
familiar with new woodsman) you are getting the offensive bonuses of
the 2 blades as it is, so I don't think there needs to be a change.
Also, any fig skills(barring strike, I think) focus on one weapon
being used. When I use deathblow on things it would be cool to
beatdown with whatever is in each hand, but I'll live.

based on this theory that its too far.
All areas should have an exit from CS, to them. Better yet
lets just summon all the monsters to the player.
The reason its in blackavar is because there was an arena there

The reason I didn't do this in the first place was because I was
concerned about players spoofing other items of eq in order to sell
them. If you can come up with a good scheme for avoiding this or
convince me that it isn't a problem, it would be an easy change to
make.

Maybe automatically add a tag to the eq they make? Like, if they
change the name it adds Newbie EQ or something to it?
All a player has to do then is have the item shown to them before
they pay for it.

make it in a certain colour
and at the end of it have another tag (NewbieEQ)
so even if its blackmon it will be
Blackmon's Platemail [NewbieEQ] (kept) (worn)

I don't follow what you're referring to here, Zif. The pieces
already have stored names, depending on their slot, power, and a
randomly assigned adjective, so I don't see how just storing an
arbitrarily assigned name would be any more difficult.

Player A loses A's unique name here due to a crash.
He no longer remembers the _real name_ how do we reimburse it?
player A reports a bug with A's unique name here how do
we find it (assuming they arent online)

I think it would be very neat if you could appraise something to
show its tp value, maybe have the cost be relatively steep, since it
is telling you a lot, possible a few 100k steep..but it would help
ppl to figure what they need tp-wise.

heres a thought what about a just letting them add a name rather than
entirely renaming said item.
renaming it would create a new item anyway but this way the old
names still work
they just have a shortcut to the item
also if this is done in a store then it would be not lost in a crash
as it would be saved
immediately or the transaction wouldnt have gone thru and no losses
unless i have the absolutely wrong idea and this is a wish thing idea

After reincing a few guilds recently I noticed, that the colors in
the combat text for Fighter and Woodsman, was there a reason for
this? since i thought the color in the text made it look quite good,
and of course stand out from other guilds, maybe this could be put
back in, unless there was a reason as to why it was removed.
(for colors concerning fighter, just the bold white when going beserk, etc)

Not to stab myself in the back for gold or anything, but I find
Mixer generally yo be correct in this. I certainly dont win any
popularity contests on this mud yet i still am tithed what i
consider nice amounts when confessoring. And he is right, find a
party that will split loot and you are fine. Also, a increase in
healers cha for the selling of things would generally only help
highbie and newbie healers since arrow of light/hand of balance
aren't too realistic for midbie healers (who can do better haiming
and dhealing for gold) and white flame or whatever that highbie
blast spell is cant be reached for however many levels about

Zifnab mentioned something as a joke, but after vising a friends
house, and watching him play old nintendo games, the thing he said
about summoning monsters kind of gave me an idea. How about maybe in
the bard guild, adding a skill called something like "sirens
song.".. It would work in areas with wandering monsters only..sidhes
come to mind, and it would work like the old pied piper fable:) the
bard would use a flute item or something, and use the skill.. it
would have an average duration, and while it was on, the wandering
monsters would be inclined to wander to the room the bard was in. It
wouldnt really be a cheat skill.. in fact, it wouldnt really do
anything, but it sure would be cool to have a sidhe party, or
wherever there are wandering monsters, where you could sit in the
room, all prepped for battle, and just pick off the monsters as they
wandered in. Of course, i suppose you'd have to be careful if an eq
mob happened to be walking around. It might be scary to be sitting
in sidhes, whacking them, and then in walks slaine and hanessa:)
just a silly thought, what do you guys think?

this is correct its not saveable. so if you are carrying food

It seems to save what room you're in when you quit, so just have
it drop unsaveables when the 30 minutes or whatever it is is up...

In a roundabout way, this is exactly what all_skills and all_spells
do. It saves you at least 5% training to max a skill or spell, which
if your race has expensive costs, a high ability maximum, or your
guild has lots of useful abilities which you would like to use, then
the experience you save by not having to spend any on that last 5%
at the top end of the training curve for each ability, will add up
to be a fair bit.

We do not have guild that specialises in swords. We have a guild
that specialises in slashing weapons.
Like axes, for example.
You could argue that axe-fighting is sufficiently different to
warrant splitting the "slashing" section into "axes" and "lighter
slashing weapons", but that's a different argument.

Omicrons are very powerful guilds and as such are not supposed to be
easily gotten to. Sylvan woodlord is probably one of the easier
guilds to get to even. Try reincing MA and going through the Trials
of Destiny every time you want to train 5% in a skill. I dunno,
take that last one back, I really enjoy going through the Trials of
Destiny, I usually just do it for fun when I'm in the neighborhood.
One thing though about them though, please force the door to not
reset when someone is in that area, as if you complete part of it
and the door resets, you've lost half the items to complete it and
must wait until they also reset.

effect it typically that you are unable to work your way up through
guilds, but instead must reinc into them.
The Nether guild here is in a fairly traumatic area, and while this
may suit the guild well, players attempting to join it for the first
time without reincing are taking a huge risk with a significant
portion of their full exp worth.

be that as it may, iirc all exp that you have after a reinc you
cannot lose, so there isnt a big risk there, BUT i do agree that
guilds should a a bot easier to get to, some of them are
rediculously hard imho

I think doing these challenges once to join a high level guild is
understandable/reasonable given their
power. However, I think it would be a cool idea if each omnicron had
a teleport to guild type skill on the first
level. That would save us from repeating a challenge we've already
accomplished.
Woodsman already sort of has this with pathfinding...But nether mage
and dragon master could probably use it...

The WHOLE point to my post is that you obviously are safe from
loosing the exp you carry to join/train during a reinc. That in
itself tends to force players into reincing INTO these guilds rather
than working there way up through them. How many nethers do you
know that worked into the guild rather than reinced into it?

Well, is this more a fault of the players or the design of the guild?
Once you get into mist or lava mage, you don't really see any
advancement for another 30 levels, thus it's a helluva lot easier
for somebody to just reinc into it later.

I just had an idea for a new event. I'd call it "Double xp event",

alien would come down.. some merchant or something, and he'd only be
around for a very short time. during which he'd hand out lists of
stuff he wants.. just a random list of stuff dropped by monsters.
maybe 10 random items (though theyre the same for every person)..
then you'd have 10 minutes to try and race around and get them, if
you even know what they are. If you get the most, his reward would
be that you'd get double xp for a set amount of time.. like maybe
half an hour. what do you guys think? flame away!

I think this would be a great idea. Just as we avoid contact and
combat with mobs *way* bigger than we are, isn't is plausible to
imagine that a little butterfly would flee from a high level player?
Even in nature this is the case, a squirrle will run from you, but
a bear just might invite you over for lunch!.
Anyway, the idea of having level be a determining factor in
beginning combat is a good idea.

Well, the serious flaw in this argument is that many areas are
designed to have aggros to make it more difficult to get through for
players/parties.
In the end, this would make it even easier for newbies to explore
places that higher levelled players cannot. This doesn't seem like
the right way to go.
To a degree, I like the idea of having bigger monsies designed so
that if a newbie cannot attack them, but if it's an aggro, newbies
shouldn't get a free pass just cause they're little :)

Woodsman are better at tanking than fighters. Tanking may not have
to do with dealing dmg, but if the character can act as a meatwall
and still deal dmg, more power to him, that is what woodsman is all
about. They are based around dodge, which is a good defense skill
up until the higher level monsies, where it starts to fade out and
parry is needed. Woodsman dodge more than warriors, and a shield
and reduced offenses are not needed to dodge. Therefore woodsman
can tank and deal dmg at the same time, and yes, it is significant.

> Rancor
At your worth maybe you can't be expected to solo very well
BUT you DO duo better than a fighter/cleric combo of comparable
worth. I also bet if you tried your solo rate would far exceed a fighters
smaller mobs perhaps?) I've sen more than one woodsman in the
current configuration rocket their way from low 100ms to 1g doing
strictly solo/duo stuff so I know it's not only possible but very
productive. You personally can also look forward to very excellent
solo rates once you attain that cleric secondary. Until then I'd advise
you to find a dependable healer and be grateful you found a guild
that gives rocking duo rates even at moderate worth.
Corollary to that last point is that while it seems you are accusing
Daneel of not understanding your post I think you are also guilty of
not understanding hist post. This wasn't a 'downtune'. It was a 'fix'.
The party restriction for woodsman is intended to balance the fact
that you duo/trio so well now and solo so well at higher worth. The
fact that it was broken before and working now shouldn't be cause
for any sort of fuss. I'm trying to empathize with you here and see
your post as something other than a whine, but at the moment I'm
failing miserably.

This idea is rather vague, and hopefully im not to tired to get the

mages because thats what i am, but other guilds could be just as
applicible. I dont have other ideas for other guilds, but if any of
it seems plausible, perhaps other ppl could spit some out. I would
like to see spells that take more than one person to cast. the spell
i was thinking of was linking mist bodies. For example, 2 mists are
partying. one could cast link form on the other, and their bodies
are enmeshed. The result would be basically one BIG misty. the only
practical way i see of doing it would be like to cut hps by 25
percent each, but divide damage over both forms. Now this idea is
silly, but hopefully i got the general idea of what i mean by team
spells. Just imagine.. 2 lava mages casting a mega eruption, or 3
evokers summoning forth a blast that could kill a sidhe in 1 hit.
Hopefuly the general idea gets across through my vague typing.

Ask Achman for level costs, copy/paste into a spreadsheet, sum them

There are quite a few games that I have been playing that if your
character is carrying more than 100%, it slows him in movement, not
only in moving from room to room, but in combat as well. Would it be
possible to carry things over 100% and be able to encumber your
character in movement and in combat?

subject: Exp/Wishes
date: Fri Sep 6 08:01:46 2002
I was thinking about re-reincing warrior for eq tank purposes and i
had an idea about purchasing wishes via experience points, since
some players may have highish worth but 2 greater/1lesser wish,
which would in some ways penalize them for nice hp as tank, or skill
maxes to be a better fighter, or any guild for that example.
So my idea is that you could purchase wishes with exp points, the
cost of exp and the amount of wishes you can purchase per reinc
should reside on the current amount of tps you have, the wishes,
obviously not being permanant, but you get the exp you spent back,
when you reinc, say if you currently have 2 greater wishes, 2 lesser
wishes, the exp cost for a lesser wish would be say 55-60megs exp,
or a greater from 75-80megs exp, doubleing as you buy, if you decide
to purchase more wishes.
i personally think this idea is good since not everyone likes to
equip, and if they do, they might not want to sac nice pieces,
having some nice eq is good for anyone of low worth, it's dependant
on the person, but saccing an entire set just for a few wishes may
seem immoral, but obviously you couldn't have this destroy the whole
TP's system, so depending on worth and current tps the wishes would
stop after a limited amount, the other problem i encountered whilst
thinking it through -
is the fact people like to reinc, so using exp to purchase wishes so
they can blast tps off by getting reincs from the pool would also be
a problem, hence using worth and current tps as a base for deciding
how many wishes can be purchased par worth, etc.
as i say it's just an idea, any feedback is good feedback.

In my opinion wishes are supposed to be special , thats why you pay
TPS for them. I personally like the system as it is. Although
spending xp would suit me down to a tee. Tps bring a slightly
different aspect to the game and I would like to see more solo
quests (and more areas). It something I do when I can't be bothered
to .... (insert xp,gold,eq here).

perhaps you could have a spell that converts sp's to health as you
won't be able to carry food as mist without using floating disc and
you won't be able to get things from the disc anyhow.
my suggestion on using sp's to food stems from the fact that it
would be not so unbalancing as say using ep's to convert to health
as not that many spell users use many ep's.

personally i dont really know where i would stand on this, but one

You can get EQ pieces that allow you to eat corpses, too. They
are rather rare though. AFAIK, there are only two such pieces, one
very rare and one both very rare and fabulously expensive.

this is one of those reasons why doing two things as mist is crucial.
1) every 4 mins or so, recast mist form to stabalize it, or wait for
it to die and put one up if you dont like the hps.
2) study study study study stun shield...this is tooo invaluable,
esp if you dont restore your body often.
cast green mist on a form dropping message would be nice...but i
don't see it happening, so maybe if you do the suggested above you
can run into less stuns and deaths.

Well I guess i was misinformed that i could handle this reinc at my
worth then. I have stun shield studied and use it almost all the
time. The stuns wasnt my point. Also, I try to keep my body
maintained (especially when i get a good hp cast). Again not the
point. Fact of it is that my body will sometimes drop (at times
earlier than id think it to) and a monster i can handle while taking
little/no hp loss will basically insta me.

ps-yes, id still really like to ask for a warning message. I mean if
a disc floating in the air with no personaly connection to you gives
a warning its going to drop, wouldnt your own body which you should

i think that green mist is better than boulder, which shouldn't
happen. they should be the same
in overall strength. green mist and boulder should have same casting
time and sp cost.
the difference should be that boulder is stronger, but deals less

say FULL_SPS

um just fyi, if you study the spells to 100% and masteries to 100%
there is a decent sized differance in how much MORE damage magma
boulder does than green mist, beacause, yes, magma boulder is

Magma boulder is almost mostly phys, which, I can't recall atm if it
is still this way, was practically useless for a long time.

When they changed the way resistances worked, about 5 months ago?
Phys damage became a worthwhile and good damage type to use, since
it wasn't a doubled resistance anymore. Green mist will almost
always have the advantage of being cheaper, and faster then boulder,
but it cannot reach the damage potential that boulder can. As far as
the after burns, and mist trails...i never really got a good idea of
how much damage they did, but they look neat, and are spamy, i like

While I sort of understand people would like to see old regen
figured because they're used to them, we've moved away from
this and it would not make much sense to have this skill
since for a new player it would be totally meaningless.
We may need to put some kind of regen level indication

When I started it seems like these hp/sp/ep regens were all stats,

It makes sense, IMO, for them to, specially now that there is no

And for us for-life fig types, the skill could be switch tank in
battle. Any time a particular tank got below say 50, another would
take his place allowing the first tank to use bio or whatever to
heal. It would rotate amoung the figs from highest to lowest, the
lowest being the last one assigned tank, unless a higher hp char
regenned successfull first. Now that would be cool...! Fig has
taken too many downtunes, inho. Flame Away. I know you're gonna..

not necessarily a flame, but they system is the way it is for a
reason, and it wont be changed. being able to switch tanks in
mid-battle would make it too unbalanced, and personally as a 90%
solo person myself, i dont want to dee mob resistances and such
increased to offset the unbalance that would be caused.

Maybe having some sort of command to put a sign in a room. like

Since if you're somewhere and you dont want someone to keel all your
monsies they can see the sign.
It would be similar to the away message tho.. But not everyone'll
send you a tell asking if your gonna kill the mob where your sitting

Being able to switch tanks in combat would also give people an easy
access to a method of pk'ing people just by convincing them to get
into a party with you then going after something big.

There is no need for mist form to have a "drop" message. I can
pretty much "feel" when my mist is getting to the point of dropping
and my client doesn't even offer timer support to help.
Anyone who casts mist form every 4 minutes (gawd) because they are
worried of it dropping is paranoid :P The spell lasts over 10
minutes folks, and if you didn't notice before, it semi-does warn
you about falling since it takes about 1 second for the form to
actually dissipate. Keep up stun shield, learn to time the mist
form mentally, and run like hell when you goof :P

I'm sure this thought has occurred to many, and i would be

Seems to me that a party that is doing 350k/min, and a party
that is doing 1m/min shouldn't have the same rating, namely
"God-Like"
hmm, let's see, it goes dragon, ultra, demi-god, godlike, i think
maybe make it : dragon, ultra, supernatural, demi-god, god-like?
or maybe add another category on top. hard to beat GOD, but maybe

I think it would be interesting to have a mimic spell...
Like you would 'cast mimic at with '
for example, and the last skill or spell that person used would
be cast at the monster. of course the limitations of such would
be that you could only copy players, and only at monsters, so
you wouldn't want to copy healers, and wouldn't be able to copy
the monsters. However, I would have no idea what guild would have it.

I'm still thinking on that one, sort of I just picture a druidic
staff to be something reasonably long and not a small stick like
an oriental small combat staff.

Good point sig.
One quit thing to mention is the Fellowship of the Ring.

One of the easiest to trigger is I think it looks for any lines
beginning with the word "think". So if you happen to make a post
about thinking, you've an even chance of getting stopped :-(

Newsban ppl who've gotten a few trigs in their news posts? Wow, I
think that failed to make ANY sense at all.
I've never actually seen the point of all this "triggers in news"
hassle in the first place...
A trig here or there, isn't really a big deal, but if there's more
trigger spam than actual content, one might think their posting methods
over. But as it is, I don't really see the problem, nor do I see any
point in newsbanning ppl who're too lazy to turn their trigs off or
compose the post in notepad or something and then pasting the whole
thing in one go.
Loosen up ppl. I see this as pointless elitism and the need to
boost their egos by yapping on about a thing as small and harmless
as trigs in news.

HI, lu speaking.
I've been mnav for a month or 2 now, and i have a suggestion thats
probably been brought up before, about call beacon
A.) Make it destable, like dispel beacon or something
B.) Make a mssg that says something ot the effect of "your mental
connection with your beacon is weakening" for when your beacon is
about to runaway
C.) hmm, i think thats it

HI, lu again, i know you all missed me
the idea-- safes that only allow weapons, and are friggin HUGE(can
hold alot of heavy weapons, about as much as a normal safe can hold
in armor)
the name, a weaponrack(credits to grax for this part of the idea)
the end

a weaponrack isnt really a safe, so how about something that can be
set against the walls, that will have slots for weapons, so it can
hold like 4 smaller dagger slots, and then a few more longer slots
that will hold swords and axes etc.

I can think of a few good reasons right off the bat. They dont get
summon. They dont get lodes. They dont get any navigation stuff
useable on other people. I think the trade off is more than fair.

Got an idea for a new skill: retreat
the affect would be to reduce the chance of failing to flee when
their wimpy kicks in, and lowering the chance to trip as they run
away. This would be the kind of skill for guilds like knight,
templar, acrobat, and stuff in other trees... maybe even in
navigator, cause they could 'navigate' around their enemies, and
not trip cause they confident they knew where they were going.
for balancing, it wouldn't be too powerful to always wimpy properly
and never trip, cept maybe to not die to bad luck anymore.

If you have a skill that allows you to wimpy everytime there will be
no more deathes and that would be waaaaay out of balance.

To be more precise, 100% accurate wimpy would be only "semi"
beneficial. Our wimpies are fairly reliable when you hit your % to
flee. When you are stunned (can't wimpy) or get hit with an attack
that is sizeable enough to kill you outright at that point, is what
I consider the main threat to our lives ... at least to me.

Hi. I just had a spark of an idea after sitting in a party to kill a
big tree. I was thinking along these lines.. A huge tree wouldnt be
affected by the pounds of a blunt weapon, but a slashing weapon
would really hurt it. Now, we have a fighter guild to specialize in
each weapon, but their mostly useless.. because one guild will
always be the best, depending on what weapons are available, and the
like. It was thruster or barb (maybe different since the weapon
revamps) but you never would see whippers or blade dancers. What if
the type of weapon was equivilant to a damage type of a spell? for
example, that big tree would be highly resistant to blunt damage,
but vulnerable to slashing. And likewise, a monster wearing full
platemail armor would be almost immune to slashing, but blunt
weapons would be able to hurt him right through that armor. This
would make all four of those guilds important, and those big omicron
warriors would actually be able to be desired in eq parties. maybe
not sear, but hopefully yall kind of get what im trying to get
across. This kind of came up in one of those silly mud talks, but i
decided to go ahead and post it to see if any wizards were keen on
the idea, or to see if maybe any players happened to see right off
the bat a reason why its stupid and wrong. Anyway, all comments are
appreciated! thanksabunch-kili

And then we can add lines for those of us that attended TankCon,
DarkCon, any of the Fin/SweCons, and a bunch of other crap that

This is actually a fairly good idea. It has also been posted about
in the distant and hazy future. There are a number of muds I have
been to that support this feature, often with quite good results,
but what is unfortunate about this particular mud, is that melee
damage (not including melee specials, here) is designed to do very
little to a mob. The reasons behind this are unknown to me, and it
seems to the general mud population, although speculation has
provided a few possible reasons..
In any event, different weapon types having some markedly different
effects on monsters, when taking into account their type (dragon,
humanoid, pudding, etc) and their equipment (which may well require
a more detailed equipment classification system, such as their
'material' having an effect on what resistances they have against
each weapon type), would be a very nice feature for this mud. I
support Kiliana's suggestion.
Ps: whomever removed 'f' from the available commands for news, could
you please reenable 'f' and disable 'F' instead, as I would rather
not have to quote a long message when I post a followup, if there is
no good reason to do so. Thanks.

This is just the germ of an idea. Feel free to comment/criticize.
In order to encourage builders and bring more areas into the game,
how about awarding tps for completing areas? I realize that,
without careful oversight and
some pretty clear guidelines, it could lead to some very hastily
completed, poorly done areas. Perhaps 1 tp for every 50 rooms and 1
for a quest, or something like that.
Would have to be some pretty unequivocal quality guidelines/controls
and such, but I'm thinking that it might/could be made to work.

how about to encourage more areas they accept more of the
applications that are sent in! *stares at Zifnab*
also i think rewards for doing that isnt really a good idea. areas
should be made purley out of respect for the game and wanting of it
to be more enjoyable for everyone

The plaque used to get rid of people, but I hardly see it as a

I think it would be a good idea to either tax "days in guild" along
the same scale as we tax other areas of the guild, or allow it to
carry-over in a reinc from/to the same alpha guild (0 reincs outside
in between).
One major benefit to this would be during the occasions when we DO
force reinc players, those that choose to carry their same guild are
not penalized by the situation as a result.

This is not Zifnab's fault, no way no how.
I took on responsibility for the builder area and am hardly here atm.
Some days we get 3 builder apps and it takes a lot of management
support to get a builder area out.
What we really need is someoen in the US timezone with enough
experience to be able to do this, I am never on when people actually
need me.

Perhaps we could have two plaques, one for active players and
one for all players, active or inactive? At my worth it hardly
matters, but I think it might be nice for smaller players to
have a plaque they can see themselves on. The bottom of the
plaque is now over 15M, and that's an unimaginably huge worth
for a complete newbie. It's too large to be a goal.
Or, perhaps, have plaque divisions. Top 100 under 10M, Top 100 in
the 10-100M range,
Top 100 in the 100-500M range, Top 100 in the 500M-1G range, all gigbies.
That would provide a more attainable target for new players and
give the added incentive of being "promoted" to the next plaque.
Of course, I have NFC whether this would be an unreasonable
burden on system resources.

Evil in no way implies aggressive, though Terse can be whatever he

Is not having your name as creator for the area good enough, why in
the world would you get paid as in tps or exp for something that is
voluntary? If you can not find the urge to finish an area right, why

Bah! I suggested that in more detail a month or so ago, with
an option for not doing so, of course. If you choose to
do so, you must remain close to your deity's alignment to get
a bonus and you get a penalty if you don't. You you choose not
to be a devout worshipper, you stay as things currently are.
No-one even commented on the idea, IIRC, so it sunk like
a lead weight.

terse kept casting color spray at trunks, and was stunning him and
doing REEALLY cool things to him
then i went to a website that listed color spray as a sorc spell,
then i typed spells, and saw that i have prismatic spray
i then proceded to cast prismatic spray alot, and i saw that it
doesnt stun or have cool specials liek an omicron spell should do(it
also doesnt get cheaper/do more dmg as you cast it, like the bravo

In the recent case, friends block did not work as it apparently was
not just friends..
So unless friends block was changed to block all mass tells,
Celine's command idea would be helpful in some extreme cases.
Better than the level ignore 116 I had to do last time anyway.
Hardly ever happens
though, so no biggie. -Zyz

This might actually be construed as a bug.
I've been killed a few times lately by areas that I guess
I decide to block for my animal familiars. Which, I agree
makes sense in the thematic sense, but as far as balance is
concerned it's a joke.
1st: How can I block 5 fairly big animals from large area
spells that hit the rest of the party.
2nd: Why should >600k monsters get an insta-kill on anyone
with animals. That just doesn't sound right.
Now, I understand taking some of the damage
but jesus, try multiply even a small area times 3 or 4
times and you get more damage than most players have hps.
That is all.

How about HPS only?
I understand how sps/eps can be abusable.
But it is rather silly to die by a red handled longsword burns after
an arena batt.e

Could you possibly re-enable it, and put like a timer on it, like
once someone enters the arena area they need to stay there for 15
mins before they can leave? Could possibly work..

I was hoping somebody said that.
Which gives me prime arguing real estate for a whole new idea that

Easy - you go in with low hps, leave, get full hps and then go back

I have an idea about this arena. Dont know if it's good or not.
But how about making 2 rooms nosavable.
When u enter this room, (where those arenas alternatives is) you'll
get fully condition in all.
and when u leave the room (e) from there I think.. you'll reicive
the same condition as u had before. before u did enter the room.
such as skills/spells and lodestones/herbs and other stuffs should
been disabled in there. for not being abused.

we did this too. People would for instance enter the arena
cast a spell (they now had full hp) leave the arena, and renter
and recast said spell because they are now full of hp.
As to Quillz, removal of said player is easy, however I
do not want my full time job on this mud to be babysitting

could you not tie the restore to the death function?
that way simply entering/leaving would do nothing, only
an actual fight to the death will prompt the heal

That is exactly what we did. We stored your hp/ep/sp when
you entered the arena. You died you got your hp/sp/ep restored
to what they were.

A mysterious man visits the various pubs/bars of IoM mud, and while
there, he offers for sale a "treasure map". This map describes the general
directions to a place where a randomly generated area of a few (very
few) rooms
would exist. There monsters based on the level and alignment of the
map reader
would exist to block and guard the treasure. The treasure, I think,
should also
be based on the relative worth of the reader (and thus monsters that one
fights). Perhaps some gold and/or piece of EQ? (Not too high level EQ of
course.) Only one person may buy the map. Not sure on whether the person
reading the map should be forced to solo the event or be able to get a party
together to do it. (If party, perhaps make the event monsters
almost EQ mobs?)

As we don't have pk anymore, maybe arena battles should be to the

Why dont you just restore the hp to a small yet not small enough to
die easily from spell effects amount, like 100hp-200hp, that
shouldnt make it easy to abuse and that should be enough hp to last
till you get healed?

Why don't we just fix the things that cause one to occasionally die after
leaving the arena? Like we already do.
We may not be fixing them all instantly, but suggesting alternative
strategies isn't going to help. We have a strategy that works, and
one by one, we're fixing the spells that work incorrectly, and therefore
get around our current strategy.

I thought we removed the damaging abjurations that were left on
players when they exited the arena? I know there was some talk
about poison recently, but isn't poison incapable of killing (mainly
just nulls regen)?

This idea is semi pointless, but maybe could be nice. Right now,
titles are pointless. i mean, you set them.. when you look at ppl
you get what they've done and all in the top info. I was thinking,
that maybe titles could be preset to your guild rank. You could set
your own surname of course, but it would be nice.. neat, pointless i
suppose, but neat if the title was automatically set to your guild
rank. I just think it would be cool.. add to the theme, if your in a
party, and when you looked, you saw everyones title. like, im an
initiate for my harmer guild rank or whatever, so my title would
automatically be "Kiliana surname the gargoyle initate of pain."..
or master, or warlock, or whatever it is for what you are. I know
you can set it yourself, but in my opinion, a title that you set
yourself isnt really a title. I mean, i can call myself a princess,
but its not really my title. anyway, i'd appreciate some flames, and
reasons why this idea is retarded, and why it wouldnt add to the
personality of the mud. I just think that it would be another little
addition of coolness, that this mud is so great about having. One
more thing that could make myth what it is, instead of just having
fifty people online with no title, or the title of "Ihaveabigdick",

Kiliana's idea does have merit, though it must be said that there is
nothing RP about this mud, therefore making such a change rather
pointless. If anything, it may irk some of the players here.
There is another suggestion - make this a proper RP mud, but again I
feel that many of those that mud here, choose this mud because it is
a mindless xp game rather than a true RP mud. Therefore, things as
they are now, is probably what best suits the mud and the players
who play it.

On reflection, I agree with Tranquil. However, I think that there could
be room for both ideas. Why guild rank, though? Or perhaps
why *just* guild rank? A title is generally on
overall worth (I believe the title in who long is on that basis).
Would an outsider be able to understand guild markings, anyway?
Some guild items don't even mention a change in appearance as your
rank increases - only the magic in the item lets you know your
rank, and that's keyed to you.
If anything, it is *more* realistic to have a person set their
title themselves. In a society with the level of technology
we have here, titles would be...gah, ignore that bit. My mind
wandered in search of food or something.
So...how about this?
A player can set their title for general use, as is the case now.
A player will have a guild title, as they do now...but this is added
in brackets
after the guild item or perhaps in the desc in the same manner as
the knight if
Blackavar thing.
This is their formal title within their guild, which ignores titles
from outside
the guild.
A player also has their formal title for use outside the
guild...which in practice
doesn't mean anything, but would be a nice touch.
e.g. Tree-arm is a stupid Giant Goat-Fondler (name, surname, race, title).
Their Guild marking shows them to be a Knight of the Sword
They are known throughout the land as a Respected Commoner. (their
title based on their worth).

Since we are now in the habit of removing worthless spam like the
death tuants that have always been hilarious and probably the best
part of death, especially when they coincide to the monster that
just whooped your ass. I would suggest the removal of being able to
emote on channels, or at least go back and make it cost 25 ep and sp
again. There are too many spammy emotes and they are really
distracting and they detract from the intensive and pointless
killing and button pushing that this game
is and represents
I for one find it offensive that the tuants were removed. (btw the
emote idea was sarcasm)

Here are a few:
Command to remove taunts.
New channel for the taunts.
Player input on new ones so we dont have the same redundant 10 orso.

I agree with the first bit.
If we're out to remove spam, getting rid of all the emotes would be
a reasonable idea. After all, they don't actually affect the
gameplay in any way. While we're at it, remove guild rank too.
There are lots of things that are in the game just for flavour and
most of them aren't restricted to a channel that can easily be
turned off.
I think that the fact that so many people are speaking in
favour of retaining the taunts for the flavour they add to
the game indicates that there is sufficient demand for them.
If there are people who for some reason want a death channel
without taunts, why not split the channel into two? There is
a demand for a death channel and a demand for a death taunts
channel. Why not have both rather than getting rid of one
entirely?

these options have been suggested in the past andhave been recieved

Well that's a defensible point. I think we have an altar room
that acts as a consecrated ground room, but somehow we could
make them all be consecrated ground with various power
(the altar room would be sort of "more" consecrated). Anyway
the Cathedral is being rewritten (its sort of temporary
at the moment) so I think we'll wait on the new one to include
all rooms.

This idea is more for all guilds, but i havent thought it past the
cathedral, since the bells make an awesome tool for the idea. how
about, when someone takes the lead in the guild, like, becomes
number one on the plaque, there could be a mudwide message
signifying it. for the cathedral bells could ring out, notifying the
world that soanso has become the gods most benevolent mortal, all
praise so and so.. and various things like that. just for fun and
all. i mean, theres messages for best hits, and becoming a
guildmaster(or whatever its referred to) is just as significant.
there could be fun ones for each.. a few ideas i had were like, for
druid the great tree could do something.. perhaps a message like,
"the tree of gaia spills golden leaves upon the land as soanso
becomes one with nature".. woodsman could have all of the animals
chitter and roar to signify the leadership of their new lord..

welcome! ps, the only downside i saw to the idea was that it could
be spammy if leaderships swapped more than i thought, and if they

i think the initial idea is better, if its VERY hard to lose your

That would be an ultra-greater-megapower wish, costing 148 bazillion tps.
It's extremely unbalancing, as it removes alignment considerations
entirely. The only way to deal with it would be to massively downtune
all alignment-related spells because they are currently written with
the fact that maintaining alignment is a pain as part of the tuning.

Wouldn't that make it VERY hard to go back into alignment once you did slip?
I would make it a greater wish, as it has a major influence over the

I would like to request that the skill 'camping' be put back into
the woodsman guild tree, perhaps somewhere in the sylvan guard or
sylvan protector guilds. It was in the old woodsman guildtree, and
since now, if we solo and do not have weaver levels, we spend so
much more time sitting around regenning than we used to, it would be
nice to have some way to reduce the amount of time required to
regen.

This would be silly. The best skill in woodsman guild is build
campfires. The only way little woodsmen can get into parties is
because of their fires.

Camping is a wasted skill for woodsman anyway. Try gathering herbs
and compare the time/regen amount to camping. At least with
traveller, you get camping many levels before herb gathering.

Gathering herbs takes ep. Ep is what I need to regen most,
therefore, I'm spending N eps to supposedly regen n eps (assuming I
always get yellow or dark herbs). In this case, just sitting ane
waiting to regen at a fire would be faster anyway.

Assuming the skill was coded correctly (since I have not had the
opportunity to use it before) it should regen more eps than it
costs, along with the hps and sps it would regen. Highly trained
Herb gathering tends to get green and brown herbs most often, dark
herbs occasionally, and yellow herbs rarely (in my experience
through past animist reincs).
In addition, traveler is not joinable by animists unless you have a
second alpha guild, and Camping is affected by Survival lore (a
woodsman specific mastery). These facts coupled with the recode of
Woodsman which made regeneration a much more important factor in a
guild which was designed for soloing anyway, suggest that putting
the skill Camping in the woodsman tree somewhere would make sense.
The reason I suggested putting this skill in a Gamma or Bravo guild,
was because if it was placed too early in the tree, it would be
unbalancing to Woodsman, and if placed later, it would be a moot
point, due to the fact that very shortly after reaching Omicron, one
may multiclass Cleric/Weaver anyway, which would make this skill
pretty much obsolete, considering the small amount of sps that
woodsmen use, vs. the amount of spare sp a woodsman generally has.

I dont know enough about to coding to know how hard it would be to

There are more than a few ppl that no longer wish to have their
castles and would like to be able to transfer the ownership to
another player, especially if they are retiring or unable to play
for long periods of time.
Another side of this could be players paying one another to design
and put together castles, granted this would be a higher end venture
but it could be kinda cool since not everyone has the time/want to
write all the descs for a castle they want.

There are dozens of pieces of eq that give skills to a particular
guild, but are wearable by anyone.
And the stat bonuses available to all guilds.
Only thing you wouldn't be able to use if you were fig is the 5%

I made them the way I wanted to make them. I made the extremely good
with the thinking that MA can not rationally get the same bonus that a fighter
could because an MA would not wield a weapon.
In addition look at the description. The bracers completely cap
the hands, and have spikes on the front. One would not beable to
wield a weapon with these things on. I went for the easy check of
checking if the wearer was MA vs having to hassle with multiple
checks against wielding weapons, preventing later weapon usage,
summoned magical weapons etc etc. It is not a perfect solution but
a simple and less buggy way.
And to sum it up. It is my code, my idea and I will do with it
what I want as long as it fits in our rules. If you want bracers
that are equal and open, code your own.

I propose that in the adv complex there be built a silent room. In
this room you get absolutely NO mud messages.. no tells, no
channels, no anything. your not informed if anybody enters with you,
you get absolutely NO spam at all. If skills fall, your not
informed, if spells wear off, your unaware. This room could be a
wonderful place to compose news posts, read the news, write mails..
do anything like that without having to worry about tells. while in
the room your away would automatically be temporarily set to
"silent room" or whatever the room is called, until you leave. I
know you could just say, "oh, turn trigs off".. but sometimes when
im composing, i get so much spam from channels and tells that even
THAT is kinda difficult to do. I dunno, i know it wouldnt be some
kind of miracle idea, but with that room there would be absolutely
NO excuse for any triggers going off at all.. triggers cant go off
if theres nothing to trigger them. I wouldnt want the room to
enhance regen or anything.. i would merely like it to be a quiet
place to read the news, especially those long joke posts, without
getting spam from channels, and without having to turn on lvl
ignore, which only ignores half the ppl anyway, or leaving every
channel. flame away!

And of course after reading said news, i'd forget to turn them all

Flying races ought to be allowed to move across mountain cliff
ravine and water terrains that
get in the way of other races. :P It'd be a unique way
of
travelling fast without infringing on
navigator or rogue privileges imho.
Maybe you could engage a flying mode and
zip over all those nasty aggro monsters without them
being able to attack you(or you them).
Could make it tick off eps for each room you fly through
and freeze your ep_regen while you're flying.
Would be like a twisted version of the rogue using
stealth/hide to sneak through rooms full of aggros untouched.

I had a neat little idea.. maybe! perhaps we could have a gift

ten k or something, and he'll have a little dragon deliver a gift to
whoever you like.. one thing at a time:) it'd be hard to abuse it..
i mean, really hard. But it'd be fun to be able to send someone a
gift of gold or something when they do something nice. maybe have
the dragon or whatever be able to hold up to 100k gold or something,
or so much weight. enough so that if you happen to have a tiny piece
of eq, you could give a newbie a neat little surprise. maybe even
have him give a card with your gift, after you pay him, you type out
your message, and the reciever would get your gift with a little
note. Basicaly just the flower guy that can give things besides
flowers:) no real use, but a nice little for fun type thingie.

It'd throw them out of balance, make them much too powerful,
the mob carrying them's gottta be uptuned 20 levels and all that!!

Actually, this eq is fine as it is. About the only thing that could
be changed is the fatal strike changed for some more useful skill,
however this is probably either a) not required, or b) will be done
when new thief comes out anyway.
And yes, I do have this eq already. If you want infra, wear
something else, or take infra wish.

That's your opinion.
The reason we would have no-save would be for PK and a chance of
losing your eq.
I can't imagine how much fun it would be with free reinc's and open
pk and 2k RDC guards again.
But, since it's been said before, basically because the majority of
the players on this mud are WAY to immature to handle it, PK
probably wont be back any time soon.
Daneel, I know most the wizzes are against it, but we probably wont
stop asking for it :-)

The only time PK ever bugged was due to familiars.
And blaming it on the players is placing the blame where it should be.
There were huge arguements in news groups involving people bitching
and whinning about pk.
Funny how it was the ones who were pk'g/being pk'd that bitched the most.
And even when the wizzes tried to spice things up a bit with traps
and nets and such, people bitched even more.
So I don't blame the wizzes at all - I mean they even tried to make
it a bit different.
I place 99% of the blame on immature players. Other 1% might be bugs.

the bitching and monaing was why pk had its own news group and channel
bitching and moaning is why death taunts were removed/replaced
if 99% of pk was bitching and moaning, it would have been removed/replaced
you can check the news logs of inform to see why it was 'really'

Hi, ppl mean oldschool pk, not this new lame run around town bs,
many ppl enjoyed pk, as i did myself, some people got bent, but who

Back to the original conversation - I think one day (or more) of
No-save and open reinc's would be splendid.
Props to Ronan for the original idea.
It would give us a break from the mindless exping for a day or two.
Mix things up a bit, let us try different and silly things.

nosave days rock!
I remember I got to champion guild in a nosave day of runescape
and saw some folks running around in full addy sets they'd smithed.
On another mud called doti, they had a nosave period of some 8
weeks where a few of us ran around, played hard,
bought super castles with money other players gave away
during the nosave.. the uproar when admin decided
to let things stay as they were at the end of nosave
was fantastic. I had the castle financed by half the
players on the mud, was 15 or so levels higher
blahblahblah.. :)
Cool thing about nosave is the 1% chance admin
will decide to let it save afterall, and the aftermath
of that decision. :)
For the runescape scenario, it was just a nosave on
an empty new server and the only point to
playing was to race other players from an
even starting point...
...would be neat if we had this mud copied onto another
server without the players and
folks allowed to play on that where everyone is level 1 starting again. :)

I wasn't one of the ones bitching about pk..
A few players could kill me on a whim, and the animals
were insane, but the rest of the toys were fair
since we all got em. Thinking of creative ways to
trap and kill players was more interesting than the
routine slogging of monsters that fight the same way
every time you fight them..

no it is actally very sound.
The whining of the players is what ultimately got it removed.
The reasons for the whining was the bugs, and the issues
surrounding the design of the mud which was not designed
to handle player vs player combat

Here's an idea I thought up one day not too long ago. Figured it
might be cool, and wanted to put it out there to see what other
people think.
Was thinking that the Ideas newsgroup could get used for ideas,
rather than for an extension of penis-envy subjects like PK as it
has been recently. Not all of us get a hard-on when we see the
letters 'P' and 'K' stuck together on a computer screen.
While some may well, there's probably a better forum for that topic,
such as private tells, mails, and other mediums less spammy to the
general public who really don't give a flying f*ck about it, and do
not wish to read it.
Anyway, that's my idea. Anyone got any serious feedback on this?

My point is that this newsgroup was made for a specific purpose, and
is being used for other than such. If people want to talk about
selling eq, they should do so on the sales newsgroup. If they want
to talk about Koma and Smoop's bedroom habits, they should do it on
the obscene newsgroup (though perhaps that subject is too obscene
evene for the obscene group...).
By the same token, the Ideas group is for ideas, not for general
whining or for people to sprout ten million opinions on something
that happened over a year ago, and that won't change. Put simply,
you can talk about PK all you like. I am just asking people to try
and do it via a suitable newsgroup, and not spam the shit out of
other groups meant for other things.

Just my two cents on this. It is just insanely hard to balance pk
in an environment like this. The power level of players is so varied.
What is there to stop graxon from being a total jerk and repeatedly
ruining peoples day. It gets very complex trying to limit who can kill
who.
You want pk go to geno. They have about the perfect system. Everyone
has the same starting point. It is all about skill and knowledge.

that ppl are spamming this group, which they aren't since they are
discussing something that came up as an idea(cough, that's what this
group is for), and discussing why it wont be put back in not even
for a nosave day.. if you don't like ppl discussing ideas and
reasons for/against ideas, then just skip the damn message, use c,
ignore the group or hit enter, and if it really bothers you or
anyone that much that they must read for more than a minute worth of
text that isn't combat messages, whats the point of reading news,
just keep inform on and be happy :P, or i guess we can all just call

You do have a good point there.
The only thing that I can think of is the risk of losing your EQ
when you went crim.
Let's not forget about those huge rdc guards :-)
And the fact that towards the end of the pk days you could only
attack/be attacked by registered people.
But, I'm just beating a dead horse here so I'll let it go.
For now.

Actually while ideas newsgroup is indeed to post ideas, like all
news newsgroup it is NOT meant to see endless follow ups on same
subjects. In particular, one-liners stating 'I agree', 'I disagree' are
very very annoying and spammy. When you don't have anything constructive
to add, just shut up and dont post. If we want to make a poll,
we got other means than endless news posting.
IF you guys want to keep talking one to another, use the goddamn
channels or tell command, that's what they're here for.

This idea has merit, but I think that who short is fine the way it
is, it even shows if players are idle by use of a period by their
name, though I do not know how long they must be idle for this to
show. If you want to see the idle time of players, use either who
long (which does use a column system), or idle . Who short
is fine like it is as it shows a short, yet informative listing of
the players currently logged in.

it is who short for a reason. idle time is given
in who long, and with the idle command if it is that

With a little setup work, you can get away with this pretty easily.
Just make commands to heal some arbitrary string (in this example I
will use ), and set another command to alias that
string to a specific name.
For example: if your 'heal' command expands to:
cast heal at persontoheal
And you have 'persontoheal' aliased to 'midnight', then every time
you type 'heal', you will heal yourself. Changing target preference
is as easy as realiasing 'persontoheal' as the new person you want
to heal.

I'm baffeled at why you think tithes should be changed. The purpose
of titheing is for healers to make some money for the valueble
services that they provide. 1. healers generalyl don't have alot of
gold becuase they generally can't kill stuff very well. Alot of
healers don't even train aol since it's very inaffective, even for
golding purposes.
2. Healers like all spell casters gain rank from using thier skills
and spells. To suggest that healers could gain rank from another
person's generosity of tithed gold is not only sick but it is wrong.
3. Why should 1 confessor spend 5 hours chaining haim or dheals or
drefs or other d-prots, andhave all his/her tithes be stuck into a
communal fund open to his/her entire guild? This makes no sense,
another confessor could just log on and check the fund and say oh
hey there is 150k gold i didn't have to work for great and take it,
and thereby robbing the confessor that actually did the work.
4.Tithes are a gratuity and nothing more for a service provided.
They should not increase rank, or be changed in any way.

The point of my original post was to give more of an incentive for
people to tithe the healers. It was pointed out to me that that
could easily be abused, so I thought about it some more and came up
with different ideas. When I stated that the gold would go into a
fund for the guild, I did not say anything about how it would be
used/by who/and what for. I was hoping for some ideas as to how this
could be done.
Is it not possible that "tithe points" could be used by the healer
to maybe go towards having one's own church, something similar to
strongholds, and all spells cast from your church...like from the
cathedral atm, would be of an even greater power?
It's not that I think that the tithing system should be changed... I
am just thinking of ideas to flesh it out some. It would be nice to
have additional rewards for giving money to the "religious folk" of
the land... other than just hp/ep/sp, and it would be nice for the
healers to get a lil more than 1k gold randomly...?

Has anyone considered making charging the druid staff a little more
effective? I for one usually don't bother because the charges run
out too quickly or they get wasted on things I don't need them for.
The ability to decide whether or not a charge is used would be

I have to agree here.
I spent a good long time as druid. And tested this as well.
I also believe I have suggested a few things myself.
Like making the charge last longer, or making it cheaper to charge.
Yes, I have tested my rates while using it and while not using it.
The overall idea in investing xp into a skill/spell is that it
benefits you in some way.
The idea to be able to decide when you want to use it is a great idea.
It would be nice if our investment into this skill helped out more
than if we put the exp into something else.

The charging does seem ineffecient in terms of time, cost, and
effect. However, it's something to do while idle, adds guild
mastery, and does store..
We always mutter about yellow mist, but soil staff bash with charged
staff is a decent stand-in for that situation.
I think the staff charging should be seen as an alternative for
extra stored power, rather than an integral part of playing the
shaman of soil guild.
As such, it might not be an efficient (in terms of opportunity cost)
option for low-mid worth players. But it does add depth to the
guild..

A few thoughts on the staff matter. While I can see where you're
coming from, there are still some issues for me. For instance,
using staff bash instead of casting during yellow mist...an
interesting idea but totally impractical because no one has time
charge their staff in a fight so they can use it. Nor can they plan
to use the charges when it happens because the charges all get used
up before then. I think that giving the shaman control of when to
use stored energy would be a massive help.

I think you're misunderstanding the skill a little bit. The staff
does not need to be charged to use soil staff bash. All charging
the staff does is make its hits a little more powerful. As it
stands, it is still a fairly good and non-tappy skill to use. I
have to agree with Zyz, here.

Iirc the issue isn't soil staff bash. It's charging the staff to begin with.
There is nothing wrong with the skill soil staff bash.
For a shaman that isn't in adepts, all he/she would use is shaman
attack spells/skills.
Mainly hurl rock I would think.
And that is always using energy from the staff, wether you like it or not.
Which goes back to T's idea of the shaman getting to decide when to
use the stored energy.
Because as it stands, it's inefficient to keep the staff constantly charged.

Or tie the amount of the heal to the amount of gold the player is
willing to to Tithe. For instance, If i was in combat and needed a
heal quick I could offer a 5k tithe. The first healer to respond
with a successful cast would get the tithe. If the healer failed,
it would go back into the que for the next healer to take up. This
way healers could ignore players who didn't intend to tithe, or who
tithe 100gp per dheal, and concentrate their time (and SPS) on those
players who were willing to pay for services.
This would also have the effect of establishing an economic base
price for the service that *everyone* would know about. Instead of
having a newbie player tithe 150 gold (I know, a lot to a newbie),
not knowing that the going rate was 1500, etc.(only an example,
don't get your garters in a bunch...) and have the d-healer bitch
about how so-and-so only tithed 150 gold, etc.
This way everyone would know what the rate was, perhaps more for
experienced palyers and less for those without d-heal fully trained.
This would create a leveling effect in the guild, give players the
gold they felt was worth their time, without surprises, and allow
those who aren't willing to pay for it find a cheaper service.
Flame Away... (C'mon, I know you want to...)

i'm sure it'll be part of the recode to make it more useful, but even
with that cost, it's a very worthwhile spell. I remember it being
about 200sp or so, with maxxed unholy essence, and it lasts a
good 12 minutes or so with essence at 100%. The protection it
provides it pretty much unbeatable (same with well trained pfe)

Reason why Harmer sucks now: They used to have a lot of decent spells
that other guilds didn't have. That has changed now, almost every
new guild have heal spells/stun spells/prot spells etc, along
with better blast spells than harmer. It's part of the changes that
always happen on a mud, new stuff always have to be better than
the existing stuff, thus requiering the existing stuff to get tuneups.

I don't recall the cost of pfg when I was Harmer and I only had 80%
unholy. But it always lasted long enough and gave me enough
protection even at only 75% trained. I could not kill without it up,
I even used Armor of Faith on some monsters and didn't see any
problem with it.
P.S. Hrm, I almost never tapped as a harmer. Maybe it was a bug.

no it will not mean that. the black/white moons only affect spells,
so skills are unnaffected by this. but if a exorcist IS evil (not
recommending) the black moon will still work. the greatest showing
of this is the druid guild. since they are align h00rs that jump
from saint to satanic in a common day, they can start off having
gaian touch powered up by the white moon, to their attack spell,
whatever it is, being powered by the black moon. but if your a
skilling guild such as figs your align wi
eep got cut off, but your align as a fig will not affect your skills you use.

Would it be possible to create a new stat in score for your average
alignment? One that is always averaged with each shift of your
current alignment?
The effect it would have would be if say the white moon is up, and
your spell gets boosted by this, if your overall avg align is really
good, then your spell would get an even greater amount of boost.
If your avg alignment was of neutral alignment, but at the moment
your "current" alignment was very good, you would only get an above
avg boost.
You should get the picture by now...
and maybe add more effects for all of the guilds...?

Ok .. a lil more on the same idea..
If upon reincarnation alignment is reset...
After reincarnation the player would need to decide what god to
dedicate themselves to. A certain number of gods representing
alignment/skills etc.
Each God would be able to cause "real time" random events such as:
You are healed by the magic of Gossamer River.
The event would be different for each God and would respond to the
type of God they were.
Each player would also recieve the God's emblem. This emblem would
be similar to a guild item. Their would be ranks and such.
When a character would tithe or perform actions similar to the gods
type, points would be added in the same way as a guild item.
Instead of giving the character additional stats.. the emblem could
give godly rewards..
Such as: lowered reinc tax, full heal etc.

remember one post a month whining to get pk back being a majority,
either.
But hey, if that pathetically disguised flame is there only so you
can say you hate us, there's nothing stopping you from leaving
either to find a mud that does allow pk.
We tried it, it didn't work. Get over it. :)

A funny thing is I was not aware that alignment helped all attack
spells, it sort of was planned to affect harmers mostly
originally... This may change in the future when harmers
get rewritten (let's stay optimistic and assume it'll get done ;).

Actually I'm pretty sure you can wield some of the maces one

So what, the shop also generates short maces and various other items
that are smaller. Giant clubs as their name states are huge weapons,
so it's perfectly fine as it is.

Thats your opinion not mine. The smaller items also arnt worth it
due to the fact even with high skills they still hit like low.
Reguardless of being huge it is newbie eqps. The fact that it took
someone with topslot str eqps to wield it 1h while may seem fine to
you seems out of whack to me. Also they are like the smallest most
decent weapons and the better weapons arn't wieldable 1h either and
i dont have time to try and find someone with shrink weapon to use
the 7 orso skills that are based of using 2 weapons yes its
perfectly fine. Maybe have a shop that can shrink weapons for you?

This is just brought on by the moon talk. Perhaps have fighters
affected by things like that? Maybe something similar to the moon,
that would fluxuate with time of day/month whatever. Instead of the
black and white moon, maybe it could be something like the tides..
where the fighter would feel more vital as the tide brings power to
the land, upping his attack/damage dealing skills.. and having her
feel more solemnt and thoughtful as the tide flows away, upping the
power of his/her prot skills, like meditation and biofeedback and
resist pain and stuff like that. though i wouldnt recommend anything
affecting mastery type skills.. that would make things too offkilter
imho.

date: Sun Nov 10 01:20:49 2002
It is a skill/attribute in some rpgs I've played where a fighter
keeps his cool when surrounded by multiple aggressors.
The games give a penalty to your attack if you're overrun by 5 or 6
or 8 monsters at
once, and the courage would make you face them as calmly
as a single opponent..but..maybe a
courage mastery for upper fighters to get extra his or criticals when
fighting more monsters? Better bonus the higher the
number of monsters? Can pretend fighters
without courage are inferior already and not penalize them..
or maybe give blah.. I don't want to suggest penalty for
fightng more than 1 monster.
Anyway, the courage effect would be best outside parties and diminish
as the fighter's party grows. Maybe make it a bravoe level mastery
or so.

pk is gone/dead/never returning etc. I am not sure how many times
we need to keep saying this. I keep hoping that some day it

The mud IS NOT DESIGNED for pk. That was a decision made really
early in the muds life that combat would be biased towards
monsters and not players. The entire mud is based on player -vs-
monster combat. I see no reason to change that at this point
in the muds life, not to mention it is a small minority that
wants pk.

I proposed this idea a few months ago, in great detail.
Absolutely no replies to it at all. I don't think
people want religion in IoM. I also expanded on the
idea of *not* worshipping a deity - that would
offer neither benefits nor penalties, i.e. be exactly
as things are now.
I think it's the alignment thing - few people here like the
idea of alignment playing much of a role in anything.

I vote yay on it. Think align affecting more ppl than harmers and
avatars would be cool. Other than difficulty of implementation I
cant think of any negative side to it, especially if, as tahnval
said, ppl could choose to not worship any and remain as they are
now.

I think what he means is the how many mud mails you have and how
many are unread, look at the webpage finger for the 10k port, when
you guys switched finger info to show more stuff on the site, you

Just an idle idea for an event.. well, 2 new events. I was thinking
"mana surge" and "Endurance surge".. the events would happen, and
they would both accomplish basically the same thing.. one oriented
to fighter, one to mage. mana surge would cause the magic of the
world to basically reach a boiling point, so that while it runs, you
never lose sps. endurance surge would cause the sky to crackle with
energy, making everyone hyperactive, so that their eps never
deplete.. at least for the 10 or 15 minutes the event ran. I dont
really think they'd be out of tune.. i mean, theres an event where
you dont die, and one that crazily increases your stats.. having two
small events to turn fighters or mages into untappable killing
machines for a few minutes could be fun!

poster: Kiliana
subject: Donations
date: Tue Nov 12 01:49:38 2002
This is one more idea i had, kind of based off of tpsac eq. I think
we should open a donation box, for tiny eqs that you often get while
killing blockers. The kind of eq that is basically worthless, but
comes from big monsters. The donation box would only be available to
ppl under lvl X.. like 30 orso, and would be flagged as donated, so
that you can only use donated eq if your under lvl 30. This would be
necessary to prevent ppl from donating, getting their eq back, then
redonating. Only eq from monsters over a certain worth would be
accepted.. like 200k orso.. and it would give the person a point
value based on the worth of the donated eq. at the reboot, the
person that donated the most eq, would get a prize.. like a task
point or something. It would allow ppl to get value from the eq that
is often dropped.. like swords that are worthless, and only sell to
the shop for 2k gold, but could possibly have value to a real
newbie. donating something large would net you tons of points, but
would be kind of silly, seeing as how you could get much more task
points by saccing or selling it. however, if you dont flag it as
donated, it could be abused by donating, having a lvl 30 person get
it, give it back, then redonating. if its flagged so that it can
only be used by 30 or below, it would work. like, you couldnt give a
donated item to a highbie. or possibly make it so that something
donated canot be redonated as well.. so that that lvl 30 guy cant
redonate the eq again and again to get the tp prize. however, if
done correctly, it would allow those mist mages to donate stuff like
pipes and mithril leggings.. stuff only newbies use anyway, and have
an opportunity to grab some tps at the end of each boot. Anyway, my
idea is a bit garbled, but hopefully the basic idea went through?
please flame away, especially wizards. I dunno if this is
implementable, but would like to know if im totally out of line.
Thanks! kili.

Unless it's changed, you can sell eq in the newbie guild. You receive

You can sell whatever you want there. Not just better things.

On the contrary, I believe this is when Tiamat eq is created.
Uneeded? I think it's cool as hell whem someone kills tiamat, and
all the broadcasts that go with it.
It's only a line or 2 of text, and it only happens about 5 times.

This is DEFINITELY not Tiamat eq creation. The message was
mysterious and seemed to originate without any origin ... if we are
to have a message then it should at least indicate what it is.

I agree with arkangyle. The craftsman needs a little work, though,

In the case of Fenris, it was intended as private, and I didn't
realize it was public only until too late.

Hi, Folks!
I have this sort-of long range project, with which I'd like a
little help. I'd like to expand hell - a lot. So far, I have
three circles of hell defined, though not populated. They are
as follows:
First circle: For the sin of SPAMMING! Have fun putting your
favorite spammer in hell!
Fourth circle: For the sin of botting. Remember someone who
was nuked for botting? Have someone you just want to tease
about it? Stick them in hell!
(Yeah, I know half the mud would switch 1 and 4, but since I
got the idea, I get to define the rules :-)
Sixth circle: For wizardly abuses (I've already got a room for
myself all planned out; something to do with an unsolvable
Rubik's cube).
The point of these rooms will be to have fun and colorful
background humor. I'll probably check with anyone placed in
hell (assuming I can - nuked people take what they can get) to
make sure it's ok with them.
What I need is: room, object, and monster descriptions, and
conversation text with the people being tortured, the methods
of torture, and any guards that might be present. If you're a
builder, just make me a room! Remember, be funny, be silly,
whatever you want, as long as it's in good taste. Please,
though, just send me complete ideas. I don't want, "I'd be
cool to put Olivaw in the spammer circle", I want a complete
room for him, with all his tortures in place.
Also, please send all these ideas privately. (a) I don't want
to spam the mud with them. (b) They'll be a lot less funny if
they've already been disected into inconsequence.
I also need ideas for the other 6 circles. They need not be
mud-related.
I'd like this to be lots of fun, so start the silliness!
(oh, btw, if you write a room for yourself, it'll probably preempt
any written by someone else. Wizards expecially take note :-)

I feel that it would be appropriate (definition-wise) that the skill
high energy focus should work against reflection skills/magics to
prevent the caster from being targetted by his own blast, even if
it's at the deterioration of "that" blast.
Alternatively, we could use new skills that would prevent such a
situation. Also, I think definition wise, that the nether spell
chain elemental bolts, since it does not technically originate the
blasts from the caster, should not be able to be reflected.

I think we should adjust the smallest incremental amount for body
splitting from 10% to 1%. Many players express the desire to have
very small bodies to play with but are unable to produce anything
lower than a midbie at 10%.

Make something to do that for your own client. Mudclients do not
respond to the full array of telnet commands (such as clearing the
screen and adjusting the position of the cursor or sending data one
keystroke at a time) making this unreasonable.
All of us use different sized "screens". For the mud to do a proper
CLS for my client would require some 250+ blank lines or more sent
to my terminal.

Passing your eq to a secondary is illegal or borderline illegal,
even if you try to justify it by saying you gave it to a friend and
they gave it to said secondary.

yeah illegal, but not very trackable and not
very provable unless wizards directly monitor people
involved or they blab.
Was just thinking like min level 15 on
things from class 5 type eq monsters though.. maybe min level 20.
Make people work a little harder to cheat if they think they can get
away with it. :P

you level 30 secondary and not wearing set of top stuff. :P
I'm seeing level 15 secondary wearing top stuff, but can no
say or prove they're cheating outright.
I've had people find who my secondaries were and try to
pay them back for favors my primary did, stuff like that.
I run hide and tell em to payback whatever
money they owe to pedron to pedron. :P
Pretty sure other folks take favors and stuff for their secondaries
covered by deeds of their primaries and is a cheeseheaded thing. :P

sorry if this gives builders and coders a headach. What about some
town down in the sewers like the area where the rogues are and have
rat peps populate it. then a ratman race. and i dea what about
having wheather you can do biz in a town baced on your alignment
that would be fun. and make certan pieces of eq not wearable to
lower peps so you stop having these players who are lower then level
15 with the best eq in the game??? and maybe a factory area where
you fight robots and workers and a mech mage guild there off of the
lava mage guild that would be fun. and eq there like a nut as a
ring and a renches as blunt weapons
just some of my many ideas

i think daneel did this for a reason, kinda to like show how painful
it is and that it is a slow transformation, the chances of him
cutting it down a bit i think are quite slim so i think the best
idea you could have for it is just to gag the lines so it doesnt
show up anymore (you can ask me how to do this if you have portal
btw) or if you use zmud im sure there are plenty of people that know
how to do this.

Ok, increase penalties to hit avoidance due to encumberance,
make higher class armors a
shade heavier and lower class armors a shade lighter,
let everyone where everything. ;)
As well, I wasn't so concerned about eq unbalancing newbies. Was
more concerned about primaries passing stuff off to their secondaries
through friends, or having their secondaries directly benefit
from things their primariesare doing.

I never passed stuff to my secondaries from my primaries, nor
did I let friends give my secondaries money they owed my primaries. :P
My primaries hardly partied with any of my friends, and that's
about the only way you could say they benefitted from my primaries.
Partying and knowing how to play the game or do quests
are natural advantages secondaries have and
aren't against the rules afaik. :P
For the first comment in your post, I will report names. :P
Just thought it'd be less hassle.
Maybe some other way would be for top eq pieces to log their owners
from the past however recent amount of time, or maybe the
last 2 or 3 people to have carried them..
and nuke anyone who's a registered secondary
of someone in that log.. and destroy that item with them.. :P

What if the primary sells it to someone, then the secondary buys it
off that person after a week or so because the person decided they
really didnt like it, and the original buyer does not know the
secondary is the primary, and the secondary does not remember
selling it to that person

I couldn't agree more
If you don't like seeing a newbie w/ good eq, dont' fk'n look at them.
As it is the str/size requirements are (well, are TOO much imo) fine
as they sit.
Any other slots - well, tough. They earned the gold, they deserve it.
Even if it was given to them, they've earned someone's respect
enough that they deserve to wear it.
I never have and never will think that newbies shouldn't be able to
use the same eq as
someone worth more xp.

ok lets try this one again
Original primary A sells an item to person B. secondary C buys item
off person B because person B decides the item sucks, etc. Person
who plays A and C do not keep track of who they sell stuff to, so
they dont even remember selling the item in the first place. This
rules out the whole tracking ownership thing, because it may get
from primary to secondary after only passing through one other
person just by coincidence.

And your point is?
Like I said, if someone doesn't want to have the "fun" doing a
quest, then they are the ones missing out.
It might be a different story if there were task points or something
of the likes that were at stake.

If the transfers are fairly market rate and open on sales, it's not
a big deal. 'Forgetful' trades and such are kinda suspicious
though.

I think the problem here is the incentive/effort/time/risk to
actually get into eq parties versus just sitting around killing
small ass monsters for hours on end. There's no risk, no effort.

I agree on the no risk, but it still does take a -lot- of effort.
Anything that involves that many hours of golding involves effort :-)
Now why you would want to sit there and gold for hours...well, you got me.
Then again, I've sat there and done eq for hours.
No wait, that's my Q-bot.

Passing info on shapeshifter quests is _just_ as illegal as
passing info on other quests. If it were totally up to me,
the only reason quillz wouldn't be nuked right now is that
this is purely heresay from my point of view.
And don't think that some people cheating doesn't affect others.
I have a goal of a particular difficulty in shapeshifter quests.
If people seem to be finding a quest too easy (say, by too many
people succeeding at it, too quickly), then I will make them
harder.

I really like the names i have come up with for my falcon and bear

We already had 4 handed races in the mud. They were removed a

Until we make an adjustment per my comments in wiz news a month ago
(regarding the way mobs currently store aggro targets etc) we NEED
to disallow familiars from being named after players.
Exa: Someone names their familiar Arkangyle, and attacks Terse in
CS. They leave just after, with Terse being aggressive to
"Arkangyle" ... and I wander in. I might die because Terse will
attack me thinking I am that familiar (since we share the same
name).

> Mags
While we're on the subject of stats in relation to level, equipment, and race:
Having asked a few others about this, it appears that equiment makes
up more of a character's power than race does. Apparently, a topslot
int set will give you around 500 int and 500 spr. Also, a level 100
Gargoyle will apparently get around 300 int and 300 spr, without
stat training or wishes.
Now, equipment is supposed to help a character. This much is
obvious. However, the current situation would suggest that an
'average' race, and quite probably, most fighter-inclined races with
a decent spellmax, would be a better caster with a topslot int set,
than a caster race would in the same guild, without eq.
Perhaps this is just the way my mind works, but logically, race
should play a larger role in 'power' of a character, than equipment
does. True, topslot equipment is difficult to get, but the same
situation will likely be true when applied to midbie players with
midbie sets, choosing similar races in the example I just gave.
Now, if this is the way admin prefer things, then so be it. If
however, it is not, then there are a few things that can be done to
change this situation.
Races and/or equipment stats could be changed. Easy in the case of
races, just modify the variables in race code and force a
conversion. Equipment would be more difficult however, and if that
was left unchanged, funny things might happen with any abilities
that call stats of a player.
Another alternative would be to make equipment add a percent of the
player's base stats, rather than the exact amount that it does now.
Again, this could require a fair bit of codework, depending on how
equipment stat bonuses are added to the player.
A third would be to give equipment 'eq points', and give players a
maximum amount of 'eq points' based on their level or worth (I think
worth is better, since some people are inflatebies, and others
prefer to train their abilities with their xp). When a player then
wears their equipment, the total amount of eq points of their worn
equipment would not be allowed to exceed their own eq points -
Therefore restricting them to wearing equipment whose combined
'power' was no more than a certain strength.
Anyone with any other ideas? I'd certainly like to hear about other
possible solutions to this current imbalance.

subject: >>2 cents on level limits

Tranquil's rant better than mine. Would be interesting for things
to be +% to stats. Guy with 100 str wearing +5% str gloves
have the gloves do less for him than guy with 400 str.
Amplify the race's natural attributes..
For my idea bent on stumping benefits of sharing
eq between your players, it's probably just easier
to report the cheaters and let wizards watch em than
to make the programming smart enough to thwartt them
itself. :P At the least, cheaters
are shouldering other people off the top
player lists when they get in there.
Probably cause wizards to tune things more if you
make a thing look too easy and they don't know
you're cheating someway to do it.
(maybe chop gold in half when they see newbie/lowbies running
around with fortunes their highbie primaries
dumped on em or stuff..)

What does a caster race without eq and a average race with eq being
better than one another have to do with anything? uhh eq makes a
difference. you would have to tune races quite a whole lot to make
that difference go away. Besides what does it matter? you don't
see a whole lot of people in an average race with caster gear
on..... ya know why cause a caster race with caster gear is better.
and you making caster or fig races more specific to thier own only
makes the problem worse. each race become like super at what they
do. and if ya tune em then why change in the first place.

I think Rancor has a valid point, as do most I imagine, thinking
about it, the people that excell fast in this game, are the players
that might.. limit their online time, have jobs or are restricted to
few hours playing, primarily beacause they aren't playing 24/7 and
mainly don't burnout, Unless of course your a robot like Lu, you're
pretty screwed, but recently, ever since i've been here, the mud has
become more challenging, and it's been counteracted in a way i
didn't think was possible.
Worth sprouts are streaming everywhere, which is great, good to see
new, and old players enjoying the game. So people must understand
i'm not saying this to be a mean ol ba£$"$$! but, maybe the mud
should be limited, like, when newbies start, they start in a place,
(for example: newbieland) and work through things, exp with
themselves. there's always been too much drag me, drag me, and i
find ignoring newbies for saying that a bit mean, since it's hard
when they start, however if they start -
Knowing they can't be dragged, and must party with other players
their own worth, and size, it would move away from the whole lazy
newbie drag me drag me, thing, to working for it, and with the way
this mud has gone, went, been etc, i think that'd be a great idea,
and it'd make the mud far more challenging.

I thought it was quite easy for a newbie when I was one. It's
a lot easier now (more areas, the chance of free EQ at Snafu, etc).
I got dragged once. One party. I think I got 100K from it, which
admittedly was about 5% of my worth then.
I am in favour of Tranquil's suggestion of a Newbieland, though I
think there are problems with it. It would provide a nice early
goal (get powerful enough to go into the world at large) for newbies.
However, it would also be divisive and result in newbies being unable to
learn areas before leaving newbiedom. We'd be inundated with players
asking about areas, which would be reasonable because they wouldn't
have been able to explore gradually. The MUD would, in a sense, be
split into two.

Ie - 92.5%...or better yet, someway round it up or down.
so if you fail a skill/spell that you have trained to 100% (by the

Once you've successfully completed that skill over 500 times more,
it would round back up to 100%.
Just curious.

subject: highbie worth problem idea
date: Sat Nov 23 08:17:47 2002
After reaching a very high threshold of worth, a highbie could reach
"epic status". Epic player characters gain an epic guild that gives
them special epic feats and skills and the like. Basically once a
player would become of epic status, he would transcend the normal
rabble of mob vs.player/party and move to combat and quests of epic
size. For example, and epic-worth player could manage a keep on
some island in-game that would be full of monsters that he places
like safes and guards. These monsters would act like normal
monsters but not attack their master. Then an epic player could
raise an army of his monsters,which functions as an eq or xp area
for non-epics OR he could wage war against another epic player with
his minions. The prize would be domination of an area, pride, and
(something else ;) ). The monsters could be trained like skills -
each of their levels costs a bit more in xp and gold.
I don't know - seems like a cool idea, but maybe not fitting for IoM. :/

I was thinking about Dragons and how they can't party with other people.
If you want something different, create Legendary guilds. Guilds
more powerful
but due to your legendary status, you wouldn't party with lesser mortals.
You could only solo if you join the guild. Another idea is bondable eq.
The first person to wear that eq is the owner much like newbie eq. He cannot
sell it because only he may use it. Make Legendary items only
legendary characters may
use. Areas perhaps only Legendary characters could enter.
Create events that allow Legendary characters to party together to
kill a Legendary Monster..
One so powerful normal eq monsters seem rather pathetic. My two
cents. Ertai.

Yeah, that sounds like fun. Could the player's NPCs gain xp
by themselves, though? Really, I suppose what I am thinking
of is whether this plan would allow a player to have a few
"lieutenants" that they have trained with their own xp, or
whether they'll have those lieutenants and an army. Or maybe
I'm not thinking at all - it's been a long day.
Perhaps xp+gold could also be used in construction of
more powerful magical protection for the player's
fortress.
There could also be some form of score-keeping in this
area, for ego purposes.

This should probably be in rogue newsgroup but....
Just an idea that popped into my head. Bows are not really used at
all for any guild/race, and I dont think I have seen any good bow

rewrites rogue, maybe add a third branch that included archers?

I personally like this idea. As it stands, us fig\tank types can't
godl very effectively without many trips to the store to sell stuff
off. This would allow *all* players the abiltity to gain a special
familiar who could carry stuff, loots, eq, etc. Perhaps make it so
that owned monsters can't fight if they belong to players of a
certain guild, but are there more as companions and porters. Maybe
even give the player the ability to trade exp and gold to help his
owned monster/familiar learn new skills and train up...

Pay for guards who can follow you
out of the castle and carry stuff. :P
Maybe double the cost of the castle guards,
or only they can sell the stuff you give them and they get a
% of the gold off the top. Bigger the mobile
'guard', the more you can pay for it
like the level 1-10 strength guards castles had..
..maybe fix grimtooth to have only 1 size guard available
now that pk's gone and nobody'd need superguards anymore.
Think that ought to be a revision to make whatever
else happens in this string of ideas.

TPs you got for the item would be a neat thing to list in
the parchment, since it's too late for some
of us to go back in time and see the message.
For wagro's suggestion, I recommend copy/paste

We could not go back in time and tell how much you got
for a particular item. worst case is it would be as it is now.
But honestly why do you need this. If its that important to you
start a little file in notepad, cut and paste the item and how
much you got for it in the file.

I like that idea a lot, too.
Would save time/effort if we could have the parchment with updated
stuff on it in our castle vs having to run there only to find out
we've already sac'd something and it wasn't on the last parchment we

Oh holy creator of the triangle and citizens of the Isles-
Your humble servant has ridden many a soggy boat and worn out
several pairs of trousers whilst traversing this wide realm.
I am almost out of gift certificates for the GAP and have finished
my last case of pepto bismol for that occassional bout of sea
sickness, and whilst pondering my pitiful state . . .
Well do I know, oh magnificent wizards, that your purposes are
enigmatic and your intentions vague, and your voice sweet and pure
like the dew from a mountain, with less calories . . . but even with
all of this i beseech you.
Please enhance the magic of thine holy triangle to go to more
islands than just the four. Everrest in particular is isolated from
the less disciplined travelers and this city would no doubt benefit
greatly from the increased commerce and the U2 tour. I heard that
Bono dislikes boats and prefers triangles, and i heard you were a
fan.
Perhaps some sort of donation from all us mortals to enhance the
magic of the triangle would be in order. Put what use do you have
for our meager yellow metals? I would enjoy some discussion from
other mortals about some suitable way to honor the gods so that they
might see fit to bestow upon us such a gift. I hear that the god
known as Khosan enjoys a good virgin sacrifice now and again, but
perhaps he will settle for a nice bottle of whine?

The way it would work, is that you turn it on, it loads up with exp,

for a reward of some sort
But, IF you die, you loose everything that was in it.

How about give jugglers a boomerang weapon which

on the first pass, and which can be caught by a
skilled juggler if they miss the target going out and
on the return pass. :)
New skills:
Throw Boomerang, tweak throw knife stuff.
Catching or Catch Boomerang, skill determines whether
you can catch/rearm the boomerang for another throw if it
misses the target.
Could make a heavier version of catching skill which allows a
master juggler to catch knives/boomerangs
thrown at them by other enemies.. maybe small damage
if caught a little wrong.. maybe arm the weapon for
throwing if caught right and juggler is empty handed.
(Can pretend they do a twisty sleight of hand kind of
trick to sheathe an armed dagger to catch an incoming thrown
dagger in splitseconds as well.)

subject: Quest rules
date: Tue Nov 26 18:16:36 2002
In light of some recent events, I think it is important for us to
make a few corrections/clarifications.
1. Help 'rules' should contain a link to help 'questinfo' (i.e. See
also "help questinfo") as these are important rules for the mud game
play.
2. We need a more clear statement put into rules regarding what is
considered a "quest". There are many things that do not officially
fall under the heading of the quests (as per the quests command)
that could be considered quests. The inclusion of the quests
related to the shapeshifter guildtree to these as illegal was never
explicitly stated. In the interests of the player-base, this should
be clearly defined in the rules, so that we can better understand
and follow the limitations imposed on our actions regarding these.
I stress these because we constantly are adding more players to
the mud. These players are not privy to the "rules" we either
disseminated directly to the players or posted in inform months
ago.
Thank you,

It was explicitely stated _MANY_ times on the shapeshifter channel
every time someone asked.
The quests are part of what makes this guild unique on this mud.
They are not overly difficult, and as far as I know, Daneel has gone out
of his way to make it very hard to fail. He has jumped
through hoops to make things for link death, and quitting into account.
It is near impossible to label everything in the game. however
I do not recall hearing any wiz or admin referring to the discussing
of in game things that are not specifically labeled a quest as something
that should not be done.
Let me rephrase that.. Personally I think it should not be done,
but until its officially labeled a quest there is nothing to
be done about it.
Everything about these 'quests' for shapeshifter is clearly labelled
as a 'quest'.

maybe when a new batch gets created, they can go in a single post.
these are things that would be really nice to know. i love history,

eventually maybe we can have say 10 batches of questions (obviously
take a long time for this, and a lot of suggestions by everybody)
and they rotate, and the first time each batch is finished, the
answers are posted somewhere, maybe not even news, since they can be

Chat is often filled with answers to trivia questions and talking
about answers to trivia questions and complaining about answers
to trivia questions...
I think that a new channel for trivia chat would be useful, because
some people want to use chat and not use trivia.

There is still going to be a delay on them, so what do you expect

There are a lot of ways to travel from island to islands, but I
disagree that there are too many.
I have always thought that ferries take too much time.
However, I've also been aware that there are almost always other
options, so I've never brought it up.
Personall, I just don't like the idea of having to wait up to 3
minutes just to go to a different area.
That much wasting time is extremeley inefficient.

seriously guys, is there so little to complain about that you ave to
complain about losing 3 mins of xp? if you want a quick way to get
around, get a mnav and have them open a portal or psummon you or go
mnav yourself. keep complaining and all they will do is remove the
ferries and then you will be REALLY screwed for getting to other
islands. ;)

my point to this is that as a clan leader if you can't keep them up
to date yourself then you shouldn't lead a clan, simple as that,
that or you can tell them to make sure they check in with you on
what ever may be new. its up to you but you have to make that

Triangle takes about 30 seconds, tops. Lodes are
easy to come by for start/adv.
I don't see a problem. Yeah, it's a minor irritation

Waiting for your spells to cast is a waste of time too, lets make
them happen immediately. Same with skills. All dieing does
is make you waste time waiting for a person to rev/res you so
lets just get rid of the time and automaticallty
make you pray. the Ferries have been here since day one, there
are other way to almost instaneously move between islands.
Since in your own words, all you do is chat anyway here why the issue over

AFAIK, you have guild mastery points in various areas, e.g.
offense, defence, healing, protting, whatever.
As things stand, a player is unable to have any clue as
to which areas they are weak in. I'd like to see some
info of this nature added to the guild item checking
info. Just something, anything, just a few messages
like "Your knowledge is very weak/weak/mediocre/etc"
in each guild mastery points area.

Why are you carrying your eq around anyway? You can't
use it in any beastform and there is no point in playing
in your trueform. Just put it in your safe and leave

He stated "It would help me as shifter in that every time I want to go
eagle form I would not have to run to my safe."
So he has a safe.

Ah, I see.
How I avoided that sort of problem was to have one of my
other familiars carry lodes, food and gems (just in case
I got a gem worth >10K that I wouldn't want my eagle to sell to
a general store, as it would do).
Maybe you only have 1 minor and 1 major familiar...can a
falcon familiar carry anything?

Could the create magical rack spell work like summon cauldron, and
refresh your rack if there is one already in the room? That would be
helpful.

It would be a nie tune to safes/chests if they could check the

IIRC it was done this way to reduce the risk of safes being raided
by other players. As it stands, it's a relatively safe system.
Unless you want people getting at your safe and raiding it within 5
minutes with some bot trigger set?

This would make it possible for a player to make a command/macro
that would turn a safe to every possible combination in one go, with
merely one keystroke. You wouldn't even need a trigger to report
what the combination was. Therefore, it would make saferaiding
extremely easy.
I do not believe that was or is the intention of safes and chests.
Make them breakable, but not instantly. So basically, they are as
intended.

this is true, however, you can still have a command doing all of
them in 2 minutes, or whatever, as soon as right one goes, it doesnt
cramp and it opens, doesnt matter how many time you cramp doing
wrong ones, all of them are gonna be checked, and that right one
_will_ open it.

I agree. I also think that castle guards should be killable again.
As it is now it says something about pk reg, which is impossible.

correct, if you allow that, the whole cramping thing is invalid. and a person
botting safes/chests will just keep firing combos at it till
they get the right one, the delay will be useless, since once they hit the
right one, the safe will open regardless of the delay

I think it would be cool for there to be a plaque that posts clan
info. Not just like clan all info but as a updated plaque to keep
track of the most active clans and stuff.
For Example:
(clan names and values are examples :) )
Top Clan Plaque
Name: Members# Weekly EXP: Worth:
Average/Total Average/Total
1) TheGanj 4 4,204,204/420,420,420 420m/3187m
2) DaKillas 8 187,187/1,870,187 187m/1870m
This is the general idea, just thought it might be kinda cool, put a
lil competition between clans. A lil somethign to work for. A lil
something interesting kinda to add.

Considering how easy exp is on this mud, I think that "clan parties"
are the last way to go about comparing clans. Hell, you could just
remove clans tomorrow and that doesn't mean people will stop
partying with each other.
Clans need real things if you want competition.

I dunno which group this should go in, so i chose ideas.
I have noticed a huge number of people accidentally selling eq to

damned careless. If you want to hang on to your eq always remember
to save it. If not, then
it's not a surprise if you sell it to the shop and people never give it back.

We have also gone out of our ways to make this harder.

Any chance we can put in distance
with command
fighters get up closer, while mages stay behind?
also could be a skill for fighters to taunt monsters?
spells would show accuracy...like some for long ranged some short,
with pros/cons on them?
it might be tough to make but thought this might make more to combat
than typing one or two aliases the entire time....
or for ppl with triggers, just sitting back and watching the screen
go by...
o clerics/abjurs/other enhancers would have to get closer to target,
so the "taunt" skill have to be trained so the monsie wont target
the weaker ppl
just a thought...

basically what you did only just a active plaque so people dont have

stand.
something they can just look at, not find all the members, total and

How about being able to "show" an item to eje, and he tells you how
much the gods would like the item
they would really like it" "IF you donate this, we will adore you
Also, it would be a way to know if the item sacs/has been sacced too much
I guess thats all I got for now.

I have to say, actually, that i have compiled a list like this
for my clan in the past, just to see where we are at XP wise. I
know that I would use it often, partially for +dick size (because my
clan rocks), but also just to be aware of what some other clans
might be accomplishing. I mean, I already check the exp plaque
fairly often so I can see how close my next spot is - I am
competing with other players a little bit, it motivates me a little
to XP.
Likewise, if I can observe more clearly that say, my clan is
stagnating vs. other clans, then it might motivate us a little bit
more. It's not going to make a big difference, but I think it helps
a little bit. I really like this idea :)
Aaand, thank you Rambo, for compiling that information, i really

Yeah, why should we actually come up with ideas to improve clans? We
should just all go elsewhere rather than take the status quo on what
is basically a pointless aspect of the mud when it could be so much

once again wildchild you are now taking this discussion to somewhere
else. ptra never said anything about clans being useless and so on
and so forth the idea was to have a clan plaque of some sort. Fine
by me and well you came up with a rather mudane reason as to why we
should not have it and are now saying clans are useless. please stop
with the dribble. clans are not useless they are basicly orginized
friendships on here and opertunities for people to get to know each
other better. I have grown to love all those in my current clan and
they are awsome people. Now if you want to take this on to
something new how about you posting your own ideas about how to
improve lans beyond what they are now. rather than flaming
everything and saying they are pointless and useless. ohh wait you
have no ideas.

Exp plaques already influence 'players' to spend countless hours
killing the same monsters over and over in a mostly automated
fashion to move up numbers on the plaques. Having clan exp plaques
would encourage more of the same. Too bad there are so few other

Influence is kind of a harsh way of putting it...could be much nicer
and say it inspires?
It just turns things into a competition basically. And competition
doesn't usually bring out the best in people.
I know this by experience.
But I do agree with your last line, zyz.
Nothing much we can do about it though.

I suggest to make the ghost's of mobs just as big as the mobs that

leaving bodies.
imagine being ganged up by seven or eight ghost's with the size of
the mobs in the area they originate from, awesome isn't it?
alternately only let mobs of a certain size produce ghost's like
mobs up to size 1k.

hrm.. perhaps instead of repopping at the same size.. dependant on
certain variables the ghost could be anywhere from 1%-50% of its
original size (maybe based on whether its a ghost/zom
ie/skeleton/penismonkey etc..)
otherwise i think its a cool idea

Speaking as someone who played for a great deal of time on a mud
where undead that repopped actually mattered ... YOU GUYS CAN'T
HANDLE IT!!! Seriously, for us to even consider doing that (and I'd
love to) would be like begging everyone to scream and whine.
The effect this has on highbie areas is ... you know, nominal ...
but the worst would come from newbies/lowbies who suddenly started
dying everywhere because something got left to rot.

subject: eq
date: Thu Dec 12 08:01:33 2002
I'd like to see new types of eq introduced to the game. I was kinda
thinkin about maybe having new types of eq that enhance regular eq a
little, that could be random drops from eq monsters. like, for
example, monsters could drop like.. "adamantium studs".. and you
would go to a blacksmith, and have him attatch them to whatever slot
of eq it would modify. maybe you could put it on your breastplate,
and add like.. 10 ac, +1 stun res, +1 phys res, to the stats the eq
already had. or maybe generic items like "clear coats" that you
would have a blacksmith apply to any eq, and it would take x amount
of damage. like.. a good one would take 3 percent damage. then it
would shatter, and the eq would be normal again. I think that would
be a neat way to counter eq decay, and if monsters (even xp
monsters) over 2-300k dropped them randomly, you could end up having
stuff to dice for after a long xp party! basically im just kind of
suggesting eq that modifies things currently in existance for random
eq, instead of whole pieces. Just because.. i've seen monsters drop
random eq that was a weapon, and yet he didnt use that cool weapon
when you were fighting him. i'td make more sense for him to drop
some potions he was saving that modified your eq, than a random
piece of real stuff. flames are welcome, as always! i'd like to hear
what people think:) thanks! -kili

that's not necessarily true. people have been known to give back
higher end (1.5mil) eq
back to their owners. bear in mind that it's YOUR fault if you lose
the eq, and you should
not threaten or blame the person. If you ask nicely, then they would
have a larger chance
of giving the item back.

Was wondering if we could just take out death shouts. With the
number of players in the game today, it just creates a lot of
useless spam whereas a few years back when there was half the player
base of today, it was fun. This is my proposition, it's gotten to
where the spam is more annoying than the fun of the death shouts.
Perhaps an alternative would be to put them as shouts, which is how
I think they used to be before the death channel where muffs will
get rid of it. If muffs does currently block it (I think I have it
on anyways), or if there is any way to turn it off without turning
off the death channel, please let me know, but for now, however, I
propose that they be removed.

I like this idea too.
Or we can always put it up to a vote from the player base like we
did at one point with pk. Then bitching one way or the other can
just be told to end with the vote.

I agree, it'd be nice to see whos dead, for example when you are a

guys seriously lets look at this from a logical point of view. Is it
ever going to be removed? no cause people that like the taunts will
bitch until they get it bak, so why argue about it? think of all the
things that have happened here over the last year. did you like when
dragons and pirates and paladins went aggro and wandering? no you
didnt like that, in fact in parties i still hear bitching about it
from time to time, including from me, but we accept it.
perhaps this is just something you should accept

I don't see why everyone is blowing this so far out of proportion.
The original idea to make another channel for taunts was a very
reasonable one. That way, people who want to see the deaths +
taunts can, and people who only want to see the deaths can do that
as well. We already have a bunch of channels that no one really
uses, and a taunts channel would be, in my opinion, a good use of
space and an excellent addition.

I sold a piece of random eq (Fine Battleaxe) to a shop
yesterday because no-one wanted it, even for free. It
was worth ~12600, but the shop only pays a maximum
of 10K.
Why is that maximum imposed? As a minor gesture to
help anyone who doesn't know about the shop max, it
would be nice if a shopkeeper tells a player what they
will actually pay for an item, i.e. 10K, rather than
the value of the item (if the item is worth >10K).
AFAIK, a shop won't buy eq over a certain limit. Is
the 10K limit some sort of holdover from when shops
would buy anything and just dest the good stuff?

As I understand it, the fact that said hit was a 13, is because it
was a critical. Ie: if that hit was not a critical, it might have
been an 8 or 9, etc. So, in essence, my understanding of these
combat messages is that you didn't get a 'hard 13' hit, you got a
'hard' hit that brought the total power of that hit to '13'.

We have no way to do that we cannot tell a piece of equipment
to dest at boot, since the equipment has no clue.
Why not just drop it on the floor in your castle, since
we disabled clean_up() in the driver, rooms never
get unloaded from memory until reboot.

I had an idea for a martial artist skill.. one that i think would be
in theme. i would call it "calmness of mind", and it would allow the
ma to not automatically join in combat when the tank attacks, as
long as its up.. would work like an epusing skill, rather than a
mastery. I think it would be nice, since dragon possession is so
vital, but is 10 rounds long. It would allow us to take advantage of
motion control, and pop the skill of faster when we're not tanking.

Protection from evil has added stun resistance, protection from good

Comparing anything to harmer tree is worthless. When I go below
evil I lose 80% of my spell. If you lose one prot because of your
or your targets align, whoopdeefriggin doo, you can still heal,
which is your job. Plus, as tektor noted, pfe has stun res while
pfg doesn't. And if your align is poopy, pfg lasts like 3 minutes
and doesn't really do anything.

Ishalia's Necklace
Ishalia was a minstrel who earned considerable recognition
in northern Blackavar several centuries ago. Best known
for her excellent singing voice, she earned a good living
travelling and singing at festivals.
After a particularly good performance at a marriage, the
spouses, a jeweller and a mage, worked together to make
a gift for her. The necklace is artfully crafted from
silver, moonstones and black pearls. It is also enchanted
with an ingenious spell that increases the wearer's vocal
range. When worn by a skilled singer, it allows them to give
a more powerful performance.

this enchanter spell needs an upgrade imho. all it seems to do is
change damage type to fire.
I think that it should be 50% phys (or whatever it was b4), 50%
fire, and give a fire special,
like Your BURNS !
since, you're not changing it's damage type. You're 'engulfing the
weapon with magical flames'!
Therefore, it should add damage, most visible in the form of a special.

No it would not. the purpose of keep is to stop stuff from leaving

That would be too powerful, and I'm told that each body already has
separate wish costs. Wizzes have already said bodies will share
tps. I just want them to not share aligns. The change would help

I *think* that guild mastery comes in various areas, though there
doesn't seem to be any way to be sure.
I think it would be a useful guild service if the guildmaster
could give you a report on your prowess in the areas of guild mastery.
Before anyone starts talking about numbers, that's NOT what
I am asking for. The usual range messages would be fine.
"Your knowledge of this area of the guild is very weak"
"Your knowledge of this area of the guild is strong"
"You have mastered this area of guild lore"
Stuff like that.
There would be a charge, of course, and perhaps it would take
a while for the guild to evaluate your prowess and prepare the
report.

I had an idea for a new skill that would kind of fit in for every
single guild. i would call it "know body" and stick it in all alpha
guilds. when you use it, you would focus on yourself, and get a list
of all of the prots you have on yourself. i mean.. its your body, so
you should be able to tell whats affecting you. its just a real pain
as a ma to keep up with all of your prots while getting spammed with
combat.. being able to get a list of what is affecting you would
seem pretty logical to me. its just that alot of ma skills dont give
you any way to know if their up or down, except for the message
saying they fell. flame away.

Sigh, I figured that would happen. Someone grabbed ahold of my post
and started proposing other ideas, and it got pushed aside an
ignored, but I think this is a big issue.
And mixer, I have a secondary, but when I play as him my primary
doesn't benefit, that's why I split.
As it stands now, I'm split into a small witch and a big harmer.
Yes, harmer isn't the greatest guild, but it's fun. The only thing
is, harmers can't do gold in many places because if I'm not evil, I
lose about 17 spells and skills.
Notice-I am NOT complaining about that, I deal with it and still
have fun playing. My issue is with the split bodies. I split so
that I could have a body that can do gold well, but as I said not
many places have good aligned gold mobs.
The problem is if I switch to my witch body to do gold, when I go
back to harmer I end up being God Like, which defeats the purpose of
my splitting bodies, and such.
I just think it would help, not only myself, but also people with
healer bodies, if every body stored it's own alignment. If this is
something terribly difficult to do, then go ahead and tell me. But
don't ignore the post or set it aside with some comment, because I
really do feel it's an important issue.

I think that, being a builder myself, I find it disappointing that
others will not take the extra step to give good descriptions to all
things, not just a monster or a room.
The way I see it, the crappy eq deserves the crappy descriptions.
An iron sword... nothing special: "This is an iron sword. It is not
very old, but of poor quality and probably would not last long in
combat."
Hell, that even shows up almost as a two line desc.
Good eq deserves good, lengthy descriptions.

this would be just a bit hard to do, as it is they already tried
hainv total gold allocated in a session in the summary but didnt
work for some reason, also along with that, anyone can loot in a
party, so some kind of party loot would have to be estabolished to
pick up all the gold and items, find a way to sell the stuff, and
then split with no one being able to touch it. generally it would be
one hell of a project to do this, and i think its probably just
easier to do it the way it has been.

not sure if this i s a good idea or not just popped in my head
but what if we created a large npc char base that wandered all the
islands. They would wander and track but not be aggro and of
different worths and simalra trainings and guilds as players now.
You could attack them if you wanted to, mayeb enlist them to a party
for a small fee.
they would wander everywhere though. Maybe make them eq monsies, of
different worths using eq plausable for there worths
theyd have to be all over though fopr this to work right and have

lots of people have forgot to keep items after this and lost some eq
i know that all you have to do is type keep all when you leave, but
as far as i know we already have a system in place to protect
highbie gear from being accidently sold, i.e. wont sell in shops.
i think this is similar to that, protecting players who are to

Im proposing a new skill for bards. a very specific one.. i'd stick
it in that guild that has bartering. i'd call it like.. bankmaster
or something. it would be a mastery, and VERY expensive. like.. top
omicron skill expensive. and when you have it to 100, and no less,
it will allow you to earn interest with money in the bank. like.. at
100 it would give 1 percent interest per boot.. and every percent
over that would add .2 of a percent. so that it would be even..
like.. 105 would be 2.. 110 would be 3.. 115 would be 4. like i
said.. it would need to be xp intensive.. like cost 2 or300 megs xp
to train it to 115 percent. but i think it would be nice for
highbies. highbies spend tons of money to repair topend eq, so
earning interest for their bank account would be neato.. and since
it would be ridiculously expensive to train, ,well it would keep the
mud from overinflating in gold. it would merely be a nice bonus to
those with tons of xp they cant use. 4 percent is too drastic.. so
maybe perhaps at 115 percent total you gain like 1 percent interest
per boot. also, only active if you log on that boot.. and finally,
it would have no masteries, ,or no way to train it above 115. would
not be good to have someone with it trained and bonused up to like
130 or something. anyway, ,just an idea for kicks. flame away!

A bard should already have tons of cha, add in 50 or so for EotB

already make a significant amount over normal selling. I personally

i know that you may feel this is important, but really all you need

usually people have to visit bifur a couple times a month at a

you should be able to engrave in your head that when you leave you
should wear and wield all, and then keep equipped. i think saying
you forgot to keep stuff after leaveing bifur is just plain being

so please use your head and learn to keep your eqs after your done

would be really cool if we could buy stuff based on its id and not

buy all the quartz gems the shop has. would rock for the guilds
which have to buy tons of stuff and its quite repetative to keep
searing for the same thing and having to buy from all the different

The plain fact is is that our plaque, as it stands, cannot support
the size of our player base.
I always liked the idea of a permanent plaque, showing all players
whether you're active or gone for a year. Mostly because such
players have earned as much right to be on the plaque as everybody
else.

The plaque is meant to show the top X players. if you do not have more

Because gem blaster is one of the few guilds that requires gold to
be efficient. The best blast spell (gem blast), obviously, can get
costly. And for someone a not so high level (using draco as an
example), it can be a big hole in your pocket. There are a few
times when qc is too fast and you have no time to respond. I agree
with draco, it would be better if there was no target in the room,
that the spell recognizes that. And Zyz, you don't have to be rude
to get your point across, even if it is relevant.

Umm, from what I seen, he seems to be more complaining that its an
area spell and he accidently casts it and kills himself, or tries a
pwipe =) SoI dont think its the money he is reffering to.

actually it is for a few reasons. one, yes, gem flash drains more
than gem blast and it is costlier than a mofo as it is with just gem
blast, second, yes it is annoying to mistake the two and get a pwipe
cause i fubared, thirdly, this is the only guild that i have not had
to choose a target with an area spell. when i was mist
mage,evoker,ect, all those area spells needed a target, this one
does not.
and Zyz it wasnt a trigger it was a button pushing error that i did
not notice until you brought it up. if you aren't going to bitch at
everyone else for triggers/whatever else in their posts, dont bitch
at me.

No area spells should require targets now. We're not going

Apparently you weren't following the conversation on myth, Litho.
Area spells still do some sort of check on this because if there is
no target in the room when the spell finishes, it tells you as
much.
Why not just abort the spell instead?
Much like if you had started casting a spell at a target and it dies
the spell will abort.

alright another thing that i feel they could at least change is the
loseing sps from the cast if there is no target. you don't cast a
single target spell and waste sps if the mob dies, so why would you
throw out even more energy when you can still plainly see the mob
has died/there is no mob. so i think that if you cant get rid of the
sps being drained from areas that are thrown with no target, that
you add sp loss to a blast spell that doesnt have a target.

thats what i was insinuating, Wc, the spell still goes off, takes
your sps, and tells you that there are no targets in the room. I'm
tryin to say if it recognizes no targets in the room afterwards, it
shouldnt take your sps. Almost like the same concept if you prot
someone with a greater, but they already have a greater, it
shouldn't take sps, but it does.

1,10d
It is actually complete differant. The spell _knows_ the target
before you cast it. after that dies it becomes 0 really easy
to see that. With no target we have nothing to check (unless
we check the contents of the room multiple times)
at the point the monster dies, the spell has no clue
how many other things may or may not be in the roomwith
you.

Good question: why would you? Why not just stop the cast if there
are no targets?
If the trigs are more powerful than player commands, perhaps should get some
trigs that can be controlled (or pay closer attention to the fight).
This seems
more like a plea to allow easier botting than anything.
Just think of it as: area spells target the room, individual spells target
individuals. Area spells are dangerous to have hotkeys for, for many
reasons (we had a bad experience with area spells recently also), but
they are entirely player controlled. You know how they work, the no
target thing exists and is intentional, so just be careful with em. -Zyz

I am so sorry Draco, I didn't mean to imply you were stupid or
botting. This line of posting sure does continue a long time for
a dead issue. On a related note, why are 1 round heals in any
way related to area spells? I would recommend taking the
advice Malifix proffered earlier and making a 'use stop' hotkey.
Then hitting it several times if needed to stop trigs. Good
luck all :)

Because i was refering to the skill qc, with my current qc (107) i
do 1 round heals, hence not enough time to cast/use s

I don't know how you do it, but when I cast a spell, I have my eyes
closed (never really know exactly what will happen), and so I don't
know if the room is empty or not.

this is dumb but i like the imagery so foo on you if you don't like it

could "goo" together (you know, when they shift, they turn into a

and create like a super pile of goo that could become like a super animal form
or like 5 shapeshifters in a voltron-esque sort of way could become
a super-duper-soupy-snoopy-pumped up pile of goo
like maybe if you got multiple shifters you could make a multiple

that would be in the control of all the players, or 1 player would

No, she has eq res's but no eq. I also felt the wrath of her when
idling at cs, some incompetent newbie attacked her, died, and she

It's not just idlers.... CS is a common place for people to gather.
And I don't see how saying 'don't idle in CS' addresses the rather
valid points Lu has about her.
It doesn't seem to me that she needs to be a 'monster' but could
just as easily be an 'npc' and serve the same function.
As it is she wipes out lots of players that just get unlucky for either
passing THROUGH CS or waiting for someone there to start a party.
I sit at CS quite often and there is quite a lot of non-idle activity there.

If people didn't idle in cs when said newbie attacked her, she
wouldn't be agro to said people.
I really don't see any validity in Lu's points at all.
(a) That's part of the quest - don't kill her, help her. If
you _can't_ kill her, it pretty much makes that meaningless.
(b) It's not the mud's job to protect you.
(c) And this is a problem because?
(d) isn't a reason at all, so no real point in addressing it.

only thing i cant see with allie is why she doesnt drop at least one
piece of eq, it would seem logical that if she can give you the eq
for completeing the event, that if you killed her she would most
obviously drop the eq as well when killed.

err, sorry, i have 'lu filter' turned on...
It's fine if you don't want to change it. I'm sure clones takes
more lives than allie does in all honesty, but my points are that
1. why is she an eq level monster? all she does is catalyze an event quest.
an npc would do the same thing without the high newbie death toll, which
i somehow doubt was the original intention of the event.
2. She doesn't just kill idle people. She can and will area whenever
someone aggro passes through the room. This can and will cause death to
ANYONE sitting at CS, not just idle people.

As a player who does this event all the time, I think part of it
should actually be finding Allie. Perhaps her location should be
displayed similarly to how the shards are. Would solve the Cs
problem and make the event a little bit more challenging.
Ps, has anyone else noticed that when you do the event as a caster,
it seems to always give the caster item, and when done as fighter it
always gives the fighter item? would be cool if it could give either
one at random. Also, I believe that her description says she has 8
legs or something. Why not have 8 different items or whatever? :)

Fair enough, guess its just MIS. Would still be neat though to
actually have to find allie, instead of her always being in CS.

Why is this skill restricted to outdoors? ok well I should refrase
this why is it only restricted to outdoors. the skill description
and I quote "Woodlords, when outdoors and close to Nature, can be
even more precise" So why is this just an outside thing. Find
weakness for abjurers is not 100 percent acutae and needs two and
sometimes 3 castings to get a good reading. how about we change
this skill to sometimes throw back a random result when indoors?
the skill help leads one to believe that it is just a bit less
acturate when one is not as close to nature.

This event applies just as much to newbies as to anyone else, and
they are just as capable of winning it. They should be subject
to the full experience of it.

I killed the spider that poisons you, 200% poison.
I have a lil over 400 hps.
The poison only goes down by 1% each time it hits you and does 20-50
pts of damage each time
There is no place for someone to find a cure to the poison unless
there is a healer on that actually has the spell studied.
Chances of dying... VERY high.
This doesn't seem like the way to welcome new people to IoM...
Maybe add a potion that cures poison to the apothecary in town?

Or maybe just add an anti-venom or some such to the loot given away
by the spider. That way if you do manage to kill it, you can relish
in the kill, and not be immediately forced to worry about dying from
the poison:)

btw there is another option instead of wanting to try finding a
healer. there are also druids(herbalists) that can mix antidotes.
from what ive seen most shamans/gem blasters have this studied, so
if you get poisoned, dont be afraid to ask one that is semi idle or
just soloing if they can create one for you, they might even do it
for free since it costs a whole 14 gold to create one.

OK, here's the deal on the queen spiders. The quest involves both
trying to find them (and I deliberately made them very easy to find
if you look at the room descs) and trying to figure out how to kill
them. I made the poison high on purpose for that reason. This was
also meant as a learning exercise for newbies/lowbies. When you
learn how to find and kill the queens, you have gained valuable
skills for playing on this mud. At least, that was my intention.
Also, I tested the quest with my newbie chars, and found it very
easy to do. I'm not going to say how, because it's a quest, but
there are at least 3 different ways to do it. I'm sorry if it is
frustrating for some, but after all, it's a quest and gives a task
point. When you consider what you might have to pay for sloatsac eq
to get one task point, this one is very very cheap. Frankly, it is
much easier to do than feline puzzle or obsessive collector for
example. And, when you are done, you have learned a methodology for
killing big/nasty mobs that you might not otherwise try. One last
word. I personally prefer quests/puzzles that are challanging and
make me think over ones that are just repetitive or time-consuming
(read boring). When I make a quest and/or an area I try to
concentrate on making it entertaining and something that makes you
think a little. I will -never- make such that require puzzling over
syntax, but I will try to make you think. For example, the queens
are where they are for a very logical reason. If you give some
thought to where you might expect to find queens, you can almost go
right to them. That is all. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this
area and the ones to come. Malifix the Mad.

there is one other alternative for you people that i was thinking of
as well. When highbies do eq, do you think they would do eq with say
12m xp onhand (maybe 100k equiv for a newb or something like that).
of course you wouldnt if you think your going to die, so maybe there
is something you should do about that

On another mud I played I saw this and thought it was a nifty idea.
basicly you have to love and care for your fam.
if you didnt 'pet wolf' or 'pet bear' or wahtever, it would turn on
you eventually, or just wander away
you also had to tell it to eat every now and then or it would just
run away to eat and never come back
there was also an

I think you all have said too much about that quest! :) I banged my

retrospect. But it is a very hard quest, if you do not get help or
allready know how quests work. I had no clue when I started that you
can ask npc's. And this was way too much help here. I manipulated
every text object in a hundred ways. How was I suppoused to know it
was a mapping quest (since you said it allready). Awesome quest you

Since we cant get healed in the arena, how about we could have like
a "sign up to play arena for X minute"
So, while people are in that, they would get heals right before
battles or something etc etc
And, it wouldnt be abusable, since they would be tied to the arena
"area" (+a prot room)
For whatever X minutes is (ie: 10 minutes minimum)
So, that way, people wouldnt go get all healed up, and run off

maybe make it so the floating disc doesnt dispell if you die in the

die in the arena, and for mist mages, it can make it particularly
hard to get your stuff back when the opposig person keeps killing
you before you can get the eq.

subject: poison
date: Wed Feb 5 19:06:48 2003
about poison.. perhaps poison could just have the effects of
starvation? i mean, for newbies, poison curing is pretty hard to get
from another player. lotsa big people act like they dont have the
time to help someone small. and in my opinion, dying to a newbie
isnt that big of a deal. but not being able to regen for a few hours
is still a pretty rough punishment. or maybe make it a combo of
both. i mean, if your poisened at 200 percent, thats alot of poison.
it will hurt you. but if your down to like.. 30 percent poison, it
shouldnt hurt you that much, just would keep you from regenning hps.
that would make it kinda realistic. if you get bit by a rattlesnake,
thats alot of poison! might kill you. but if you get bit by a bee,
thats not much poison. wont really kill you, just make you feel
yucky:)

Would it be possible to organize decaying eq? like, at the moment i
dont really see any organization at all. would it be possible to
organize it by top condition? like, all eq at 100 percent condition
is on top, then the more worn it is the further down the list it
goes (when you type checkeq). I mean, its just so cluttered, and
seeing your eq listed from best max condition to worst max condition
would be nice. At the moment i notice that it seems to be organized
by its current condition. That doesnt really organize anything,
since most people keep their eq repaired pretty well. Just seems
like it would be alot cleaner and neater, as well as helping you be
able to scan through and see what is messed up, if it was organized
by max cond and not current cond. Thanks

Actually, 'monk' has more faith-based conotations, when looking at
the meaning of the word 'monk'. Just because other muds (which we
are not) choose to cannibalise the name to look like a version of MA
(which as Tahnval pointed out, we already have), there is no reason
for us to follow suit.

That's a good point, but I said it would be like MA because
the original poster specified a fighter guild called "Monk".
It's an idea that could fit into either subtree, but I don't
see how it could be adequately different from guild subtrees
we already have.

I would like to remind people, this is not D&D, this is IoM. If this
was D&D, almost the entire mud would be different than it is today.

No - I was referring to a *fighter* guild called "Monk", which
is what the original poster was talking about. A *cleric*
guild called "Monk" would be the faith-based type.

higher level clerics can solo. As a healer myself, i could solo
about 40k.min, and i know some that were able to do at least
100k/min. any guild can solo, you just need to know how.

That is true, but the trick is to solo without tapping. I could
sustain about a 140k/min rate myself solo, but it was risky as mf,

Thats correct, with 1050, my hand of god does HUGE damage, and is
about 129 sps, lay hands restore about 450 just in skill, with
consecrate ground, not to mention the 57/60heartbeat of regen i had.
It dropped to 140 when i had to stop and consecrate, usually a bit
higher..

I wsa kinda thinking of a neat idea for a bard skill. I'd call it
"song of learning." the bard would have to sing, and while singing
he could do nothing else.. kind of like regen trance, only he could
move with the party. and while he sings, each person would gain like
10 percent to their xp rate when fully trained. a song that would
allow the people to more fully learn from the experience of killing
the monster.

My point was rather that generally speaking a rate is not time
consuming, just spend less time at this rate :)

Would it be possible to make the notepad have an editor? Possibly
something to allow you to change the number of a note...
Ex:
You have 6 notes. You would like the new note to be number 3 not
number 7. You type note 3 'blah', and it puts the note between 2 and
4 instead of at the end of the list.
Also, when you delete a note, maybe change it to note delete #, so
that note 3 'blah' doesn't delete note 3. Furthermore, if 'note
delete 3' is entered, 4 would become 3 and so on. Atm it just leaves
an empty number.

I suggest there be a way to discharge your stored spell. for
example, i had elec dtype stored. was killing a monster immune to it
in eq. we died, and had a regen break. it would have been nice to go
back into combat with the right dtype stored in the amulet.. but
since i couldnt aim the amulet at the sky and discharge the spell, i
wasnt able to use the amulet when i wanted to. Its rare, but would
be nice to be able to aim the amulet at nothing.

just a thought if monk was added to cleric section maybe we would
have the third option open for a faith route.
we have weavers on the good side
we have harmers ont he bad side
monks would follow a study the world path requiring them to be neutral?
they wouldnt have the most powerful 'spells' per say
but they would have a more balanced one with the world path that
would give them strength
and which they would lose a lot of benefits from being polarized too
much one way or the other
or could be set up that they would have benefits and disadvatages
from becoming polarized(i.e. saintly/demonic)
any jsut my two cents would make an interesting additional path for
the cleric set almost something towards animist so has a lot of

I was thinking about how most quests give tps, including the newbie
quests. I can see how tps might be something that a midbie to
highbie would be very interested in attaining, but no real use for 2
tps can be found to someone who has just begun the mud. They do not
have the gold to purchase eqs that they could 'tpsac' nor would they
have any idea that something like this existed. In my opinion,
50-100k exp would be 100 times more benefitial and helpful to
actually getting your foot in the door.

two things about this stuff.
1) i have seen many newbie able to buy midbie eqs becuase they go
golding alot. That is one option for you, to be able to get eqs to
sac and get those tasty TPS. Another thing you can do is go
exploring. when you get your 3rd explore bonus you only need 10 tps
to get 1lesser/1greater wish. If i do remember correcty, there are
enough newbie quests out there that you are able to do that will
give you the 10 TPS needed for those extra 10.
2) Quests actually have a combination of differant things right now.
It was true that xp was silly for it, but many quests still give you
gold for completing it, prince forrester is an example of this,
along with TPS'.

Speaking of njuubies....
Three explore rewards will net you one lesser wish (20 tps) and one
greater wish (40 tps), so in this particular example, newbie quest tps
are pretty much irrelevent.

This, to my knowledge, is true. However, from the perspective of any player
who has had a minimum of six months of fairly active mudding, the rewards
were upped considerably when the experience point reward was removed in
favour of the then newly-introduced quest tp reward.
Most equipment that Sloatinok (the only source of tps other than quest and
explore rewards) will pay 2 tps for, usually tend to go for anything up to
a meg on sales. So really, to receive even one task point is like being
given 200-500k gold, in addition to any other rewards of gold, equipment,
or experience, that the quest gives.
So, in essence, tp rewards are something that you don't have much
opportunity to appreciate, as a newbie. But once you've played for a fair
while, and realise just how easy to gain and endlessly available both
experience and gold are, the true worth of those tps will not go unnoticed.

who open guild nether_mage sorcerer chanter_of_deep_earth dragon_master
So I could see what kind of blasting power was available with one
command, and one list. I suppose even niftier, if you could have an
option to exclude any idle players.. just a thought, if is not
difficult to implement, it would be nice if you could list multiple
guilds for the who command.
or, if there is already an easy way to do so please let me know. I
suppose i could trig 4 commands
who open guild nether mage
who open guild sorcerer
who open guild chanter of deep earth
who open guild dragon master
but this is kind of spammy.. also would be neat if list was ordered
according to my preference (say MAs first, sorcerors next, etc etc)
but i dunno if this is nice.. i thought it would be cool if you just had
more complex filtering available with the who command..
spam off.

Hi, I haven't been on in a while, but I had an idea for an area the
other day and thought I may as well throw it on here when I went to
see how the mud has been going.
A neat area would be a Gawain and the Green Knight area, with the
green knight as an EQ mob and the green sash as a nice piece of EQ
from him. The player could explore the green chapel and other areas
from the legend.

I think it would be neat to have an essence eye type skills for MAs.. i think
that is the skill that allows casters to see when a spell is going to go off
i think it would be useful for me, and maybe other fighter types,
like sometimes dragon possession falls, and sometimes, especially in party,
an essence eye type skill (maybe call it skill awareness), would help me to
decide whether to continue with dragon possession or break it and tiger claw,

actually if you get essence eye when you go say, cleric secondary
alpha guild, the essence eye skill from there will work for all of
your skills. Itsone of those things where yes it is nice, but if
every guild had it it would be no fun

"actually if you get essence eye when you go say, cleric secondary

- I disagree that it would be no fun. To me, if its useful, its
fun. Also, there are many things that are cool that casters will
still have (like QC working in combat and out of combat, whereas
motion control only works out of combat), and will still have so it
will still be neat to play those guilds :)
If it were something fundamental from cleric that would be
"stolen" if added to fighter-types or exclusively MAs, like, say..
the ability to "ref" yourself, or heal yourself.. uhh, wait a
minute.. i can meditate.. i can refresh myself... uhh.. yeah, why
would i want a cleric secondary again? :)
tunnels are far more useful, IMO of course.
Really, any "disadvantage" or feature, if you like, can become
a positive part of the guild if you take an interest in playing
well. Definitely as nether I would get a sense of when it was time
to refresh body/control even without using the timers had put in.
So i am not gonna whine incessantly if it isn't put it, since it
doesn't have a HUGE impact on the game.
- Fundamentally tho, i have a hard time believing that a dragon
MASTER, an omicron level guild, master of his body, mind, and chi,
would not have any specific knowledge about how close he is to
getting skills off, while a caster-type, even a lowly level 10 who
uses spectral push can have an extremely intimate knowledge of it..
Anyway, i have spammed too much.. I just thought it would be a
nifty thing to have, it would take some of the drudgery/annoyance
out of playing...

Consider is hopeless, it just compares monster level to your level,
far too many variables with monster type, inherits, skills etc
as well as your skills, training, eq, race etc etc etc.

maybe the tattoo could be a semi-magical object that binds the clan together,

heck, i thought maybe if strongholds were ever finished, you could
turn the tattoo
into a more important object by enchanting it via some quest-type

I think it would be cool if high preists could have a kinda haim
that damages all the undead in the mud. Something big enough to
kill all the corpse zombies, but not any real monsters (unless a
bunch of hps team up). As a side effect all undead in the game
would be aggro to that player...
Also harmers could have a "channel undead power" spell where they
get power based on the number of undead roaming around. Maybe they
could channel it through a single random undead somewhere in the
game. That choosen undead could become bigger and bigger the longer
it goes without dying. If the undead gets killed, something bad
happens to the player channelling though it.
Those would probably cause insane lag, but I think they'd be neat...thoughts?

A "focus" on prismatic spray would infact, stop it from being
prismatic, but a stun special for each dtype would be cool if thats

The amulet would focus on producing a better rainbow effect. It would
be cool to see random specials pop from this spell. It was not meant
as a exp machine. Just something to make it a bit cooler.

Would be ubercool if there was a way to check your resistances to
specific things. Not sure if this could be info availible all the
time via a command such as score or 'resistances' or some such.
It would show your resistances to all the different damage types.
This idea came from the use of spirit blessing. It is an alpha level
animist skill, and it summons random spirits to your aid. These
spirits sometimes give you resistances I believe, but I really do
not see how they are really useful, and there is no way to check how
much resistance it actually gives. Nor is there a way to compare it
with other things.
Anyways just an idea and open for suggestions.

the freeze commands real purpose is for wizards to freeze players.
It is a side effect that you can use it as a player to freeze yourself.

subject: clan caps
date: Tue Feb 25 00:34:09 2003
i wonder if we could consider raising clan caps again?
iirc when we went to 15 it was due to increased playerbase...
i'm fuzzy w/ numbers but i've been trying to play devil's advocate
and consider a reason not to have a 20 member cap and i can't...
i guess if you took it too far you could say the number
of clans would eventually tend toward 1 w/ no limits and we'd have
conglomerates instead of true 'clans' but i don't see why not 20
or even 25... one major part of me squirming about 15 is that
i hate having to kick my emeritus members to make way for new blood...
esp. when they were excellent clanmates while active...
it's splitting hairs to ask for an 'emeritus' position in clans
when they are essentially social entities anyway, but i don't
consider a cap of 20-25 is unreasonable given our growing playerbase
and the desire to preserve the memory of clanmates past (sniff sniff)
ok that was sappy but i hope i made my point clearly enough...
maybe an 'emeritus' classification isn't so proposterous for
pure role-playing/sociological purposes?
after all we have fireworks and santa claus for fun...
honestly 60% of the fun i get from the game isn't in the mechanic but
rather the social experiment and the development of communities...
(i've done this diatribe before so i won't reiterate)
i'm not trying to criticize fireworks or santa claus just trying
to draw a parallel...
to sum up:
1. could we have a clan cap increase?
2. does anyone even like the emeritus idea?

it was pointed out to me that 1 reason not to expand cap was that...
if at some point in the future we decided to re-implement some of the
clan functions, that a lower cap would be more desirable...
this actually strengthens my emeritus suggestion and it goes like so:
15 active members/5-10 emeritus members where the 5-10 emeritus members
would have limited access to future clan functions...
then could have a time-based system for restoring 'active' membership
for returned clannies or creating new 'emeritus' designees.
e.g. only can create 1 emeritus per month and only restore 1 emeritus
to active membership per month... or year... or whatever...

I really like this idea as well. I myself am not the leader of the
clan I am in, but we are indeed full, and people sometimes ask me if
I could ask the leader if they could join.
It seems like there will always be times when even the most active
players will have to go inactive for awhile.
It sucks having to think of wether or not you should kick an
inactive member just to let a fresh new member in.
(ps - I hate bluemoon)
Anywho - I guess I'm saying I really like the idea of extending the
cap on clans by 5 or 10.

and if 4 elementalist go together, they can take the ring and eahc
can shout something representing their favorite gamma, like
"EARTH" "WIND", "FIRE", "ICE"!! and then some superhero familiar
could come, could call him captain elementalguild or something!
he could perhaps help the elementalist fight environmental issues, or

cast psychic gaze on a is mainly for finding a mobs weakness. you
would never need to gaze a tank, because no matter what there
resists are, you would use the same prots all the time, like for
instance Gacid, lphys and lpoi for wyvern i believe are the prots.
the tanks own res's wont matter, as these are the dtypes done by

Using the same prots on the tank is not quite always true, sometimes
you would use different prots on a mino then a giant, due to the
mino's extrem vuln to psi, however you can usually figure out
someone's resists to what is needed to deternime prots if you know
something about tank races and tank eq

Actually, draco, when you disrupt a monster, his resistance in gaze
actually changes, the same if you were to cast a shield on him ie:

would be usefull for those die hard arena types who like to retune

it tells you what types of damage they are taking, and I'm not sure
it even lists it in order of most taken or if it's totally random in

actually i have a half and half thing. this is a good idea for
harmers, since it IS hard to keep the align where you want it, and
as of right now the only thing that a harmer can use to get his
align down after it being raped in a eq party is eye of the dragon
(pressing it out of combat brings your align more evil). Healers
have a few options for this. they can use firm belief, which slows
the lossage of align down, or they can cast that one spell, i forget
its name in the avatar branch.
so to sum up, plz add align helping spell to harmer, healer has enough

I realize that witches had one good attack spell...but tuning that
one spell doesn't make much sense to me.
If there have been parties where witches were taken over or instead
of an evoker - I havn't seen it.
Basically I'm saying I do not believe they were "more efficient"
than primary blasting guilds, and tuning the one good attack spell
they have seems a bit harsh to me.
If I'm wrong, and if witches were taking over spots where evokers
normally were, please correct me.

I have seen some parties as of late that have had witches replacing
the "norm" blasting power. But then again I have seen a group of
three phys dmgers pull a far better rate than witches or blasters
can. Shrug I kind of agree with quillz on this one. They had only
consistantly used attack spell and it was tuned. alot of the thing
with whitches blasting is they deal decent dmg and also psi is a
vulnerable dtype so shrug it is kinda a toss up.

I believe this has been posted more than once, but I guess something

adv and going se etc from there should have some source of light
added to the rooms. I just reinced into a race that cannot see in
the dark, and I basically can not function:( It is slightly
frustrating. I was told upon entering one room to look at the sign
in the room. So I did and recieved: It is too dark to see anything!
Anyways, I could easily see a newbie logging on for their first
time, and being totally blind, just logging back off never to
return. Maybe add infravision to the list of things you receive as a
newbie, and taking it away upon reaching lvl 10 or 15. This would
help players to learn their way around and how to communicate before
being blinded by the mud. Hopefully I could get some feedback on
this from wizards or players.

ooo, incred and not tapping... deserves a praise, perhaps exp
parties aren't about being "good", btw witches did do a pretty damn
good job at blasting, i believe their soul steal did a bit more than
evoker four rounders do, plus their exessive amount of qc they have
from qc dream, anyway, i bet they might still be a good blaster,
i've only asked ronan, no other witches tho, but considering they
have a high qc(most do anyway), they shouldn't be bad at it.:)

Well, witches certainly could (don't know if we still can) blast
quite adequately. I don't know if, in a perfect world, we blast
(er, used to blast) better than evokers - but high-level witch
tends to attract people who actually pay attention, rather than
sleeping their way through parties. That alone, no matter how
badly you tune down soul steal, will make them better blasters
than your average evoker.

No kidding. Instead of making it even easier for them to NOT learn,

Of course, along these same lines, discouraging people from making a

well an idea for future areas to come out is do what malice did for
the crack, making the hulks and basilisks and all that other stuff
id to miner. universal target is not needed, but if you want it at
least a little easier, become a builder and have all the mobs id to
a particular word if there is more than one type

um, seems to me that this would make botting much much easier.
NOT a good thing
just teach everyone to target nothing, let tank attack
most parties run this way
makes everything nice and simple.

just an idea that i had, but maybe since the torturer guildmaster
has his own rack, that members, and i do stress members of the
guild, should be able to pay him like 10k or something to get the
skill rack used on themselves, since you cannot rack yourself
conventionally and there are never really many harmers on at all

honestly, you would run all the way to your guild master for a rack
that don't last very long, at least it wouldn't be long enuff to be
efficient to pay 10k AND have to walk to your guild:), however, it
don't make sense but it still would be cool if harmers -could- rack

maybe it didn't make sense, i wasn't here when they could, but i
know it wouldn't be "out of tune" for them to be able, in my
experience, harmer solo, was not only boring (as most all solo is),
but it wasn't very.. i dunno, the solo rate wasn't that good, at
lower worth (150m-ish) could only do same rate as cauldron or mist
mage (in comparison), at higher worth i guess they solo better than
those, but that's not until higher worth, and by then you could be
another guild that can party and solo a good rate:), in anycase,
just think it would be cool, and helpful to the "not so popular"
guild

He is _the_ guildmaster. Presumably the bes tof the best, if nothing
else perhaps his would have extended duration if nothing else. Like
this idea alot, would've been cool as harmer.

The coding help files are WAY too shallow. It is extremely hard for
newer people who aren't familiar
with the language to get stuck, and they have to ask for help.
However, since wizzes are by definition
idle (heh heh), it's very time-consuming to make just even 1 piece
of innovative eq. Also, good time to bring up that
there is STILL no 10k startup by java ;)

My idea for a new fighter skill. I'd place it pretty high. "Troop
command".. it would allow highbie fighters to keep their party in
"tight control". Relativly silly, but would basically need to be
used, and would last for quite awhile. While in use, if the user is
the party leader, it would allow him tight command of his troops,
forcing them to follow him wherever he goes. for example, if he uses
it in cs, his party would autofollow, and if he entered a portal,
they would automatically enter it without typing enter portal. It
would allow highbie figs to run a tighter ship.. causing him to be
able to quickly drag his party through like.. for example, the
hyboria portals.. or that place in dragons where you have to enter
hole, W, s. flame away.

There doesnt need to be a java client. You can use any telnet app
and you can use web ed to edit.
i have repeatedly asked new builders to let me know what documents
would help them get going. Guess what including you, I have no

a few things you need to remember. number 1:coding help files are
pretty easy to follow, 90% of my questions i was directed to an
example and i was shown how to do it in that file with a little
brainpower (yes i have that)
number 2: there are plenty of people that are on quite frequesntly
such as oruk for instance that know really everything you need to
know about making areas and stuff. if no one answers, just search
through helpfiles, you will eventually learn to know what to look
for

I would like to comment that I think the help files are very, ummmm,
helpful and do exactly what zifnab kinda said, don't complain unless
you have some input to add, and having a java app is just silly for
the wizzes to put up for 10k, there is telnet, and many other FREE
mud clients that are relatively small and work rather well.

oh yeah i forgot about this issue as well, use telnet. editing in
the mud is tedious work and ALOT easier to do by going to the link
on the webpage to the webed thingy. (i don't know if this is working

All I ever needed was a list of the
things I could make in a /std kind of file
for all the shortcutty things you could stuff in an
object as new attributes.
As well templates of simple and complex
rooms/monsters/equipment/items ought to
do the trick. Just tell a person
how to navigate the file trees with cd, more, rm, ed,
foo and they should be ok looking over other wizzie shoulders or
in public directories.. Emphasize importance
of having same number of left paranthesi and right, and
any dummy should be able to make stuff. :)
Oh yeah, mkdir a helpful command too!
And put rsif in! Rsif make stuff a million
times easier in the right hands.. blowup in your face
sometimes, but still ok. :)
Oh well, I'm not a builder right now, so I'll quit spaming.
-pedron foo
ps> Maybe give a basic file tree to new builders that has
/templates for basic room/object/monster template files to look at,
/area /area/rooms ../mobs ../obj or so for them to
have an idea how to form their directories..

Wouldn't one only have to copy the code for opening the game on 3k

rsif command helps code! RSIF replace something in file or
foobariniwhatever.
You can change all the 1s to 25s in all the *.c files,
or change all the Perples to Purples!
if you got any 10s or 100s in there, they turn into 250s or s
so, so you might rsif set_level(1 to 25 so as
not to rsif the other 1s in there..
RSIF command helps coding! :)
Very great for plagiarizing and messing up entire directories
in one fell swoop too, but can only use it in files you have
edit access to anyway, so builders can only muck themselves. :)

Would be kind of cool if you could sell bodies back with like a
10-20% penalty starting at 5m and working up kinda like how you buy
them. For people who messed up or those who just don't want the
extra bodies anymore. Just a thought. And its an exp sink since if

Crystal Dragons, yeah, they suck now. I noticed that they have a

anything. This area was easily
my favorite area to go, and offered me the most mobs, and good loot
really. I really wish that, even though
the damage that they do seems to be upped a bit, that the worth of
the mobs would at least go back to what it was.
Maybe if the mobs had a ridiculous weakness to some evoker dtype
they'd be ok as is, but as of now, I don't
want to xp in the area like ever :(

yeah 140k mobs that special and do from what I hear at least 1k
specials are a little rediculous and they assist. Now I think they
did need a bit of a tune before but shrug this seems a bit out of
hand. Crystals were removed long ago. then put back into the game
only to get thier worth tuned down and thier specials tuned up.
Something does not seem right to me? has someone cleared the whole
area yet? I mean do the mobs worth grow as you get farther in? do
they s[pecial less are these 140k mobs just kinda crappy blockers?
Cause if the area is as I have heard 5 or 6 people tell me now that
is not right and another area has just been removed from the game.
As a side fact I saw a party pulling 2m a min today.
Crystals get removed and 2m a min is ok? yes it takes highbies to
get that 2m a min(in hell) but I don't see any lowbies killing

I forget how, but when they first came out, I was one
of a bunch of people who waved hi to crystal dragon king.
I was standing next to lucifer the next second, but I saw the guy. :)
I think reason for the tunes to power weas the high concentration
of monsters pretty well broke
some standards of area building with respect to
how many monsters can be piled up in an average room. :)
Anyway, I could tank them when they were 300k with smaller areas and
blocking exits and such. Took a hell of
an exp party to hold me up, but we did alright where I had no
right to be tanking. ;) If I recall, we made piles of money in there
even if I got killed a bit for it..

pedron notice you said it took a hell of a support group behind you
to tank there so yes you had a right to be there if you have the
group. and ok yeah so down the mobs per room rather than killing
the area.would be a more satisfying tune. or get rid of the cash
they offer and keep the exp or down the exp a bit and keep the cash
but down the mobs per room. I mean why down then to half thier
worth and up thier specials and make the area unattrractive I mean
we already have enough areas that go untouched in exp why make
another one.

I swear there were like 4-5 dragons in EVERY SINGLE ROOM though.
If they were thinned out, I'm betting there's still a bunch
for you to worry about the assists. The amount of exp/gold you can
pull down if you can effectively exp in there
was incredible, maybe it's been halved rather than the monster population
itself getting halved, but it should be
doable with something like tahnval for a tank and
the kind of blasters I had when I tanked it. ;)
PS> Last time I tanked it was first time it came out, so my info is old.
The monsters were 300k+ blocking/area guys with little or no assist iirc.
Assist make it more interesting, but if they're half the size and
you focusfire well,
still doable I'm sure. There are exp areas
suitable for lesser parties if they can't handle the crystal dragons.
I'll eat my boots if some highbies can't put together an exp
party to erradicate a population of 140k dragons however
fancy the dragons are though..

This is an idea that technically should not be required, but as we
have been a little unstable lately, appears that it might be worth
having - at least from a player perspective.
We recently crashed, and following that crash, I checked myself out
on the plaque, and got an estimate worth from a friendly healer.
Somehting I noticed was that, while player files usually seem to
suffer from said crashes, I have noticed that the exp plaque rarely
does. I'll use my own recent research as an example:
Plaque: 85) Tranquil 100 1,321,500,330
Estimate worth: for a total of 1,309,054,410 xp.
A difference - loss - of 12m exp is evident here. Now, it has been
said that wizards will not reimburse exp after a crash. That's quite
understandable, as no-one would want to be on the receiving end of
possibly as much as 100 players, all wanting reimbursement of
varying amounts of exp.
However, a function could be coded to save the exp plaque status
after a crash, and the first time each player logs in afterwards,
check that backed-up exp plaque for that player's posted worth.
If the posted worth is higher than the player's current total worth
(of all bodies), then it is almost definate that said player was
earning experience before the crash, and a reimbursement could be
added (to the player's current body, if applicable) at login.
A function like this should be fairly easy to code - most builders
should be capable of doing this correctly. Automatic eq
reimbursements would probably be more difficult to organise, and I'm
not sure that gold would be reimbursable at all, however any
further/alternate suggestion(s) to address the issue of crash damage
control, are more than welcome.

So player A, reincs intentinally loses 10% of his worth. logs off before
the plaque updated and 7 hours before a crash. so he still has that worth on
the plaque, has his new reinc, the mud crashes, said player logs in
and is given
his exp back. Effectively a free reinc.

You can't say that the plaque is less effected by crashes. It just
doesn't save as often as the player files, and it doesn't save
at the same time as the players. This means there is a change that
the plaque will have newer data than the player file, and there is a
change that the player file will have the most recent data. The probability
for the later is far greater.
What we (the wizzes at least) define as "suffer" is when a player file
gets corrupted. In that case there is nothing to do except restore a
backup of the file.

Does not have to be psychic. It has been happening enough lately that
the chances are good.
We have talked about having the driver write a backup copy of
the original player file prior to saving the new one.
That way we would have a backup of the player file on line instead
of needing a backup.

Well, maybe the delay could be specified in the start_trivia
command. That way the people who like the delay can have it and the
people who don't like the delay can choose not to use it, and if
anybody doesn't like the choice they can take it up with the person
who started the trivia instead of the wizzes.

Actually, it would not be any kind of reinc. If his player character
is backed up from before said reinc, it would return as it was,
before his reinc. If it saved after reinc, then the plaque would
have updated by that time anyway, therefore the loss would be
recorded. In either case, the player is not receiving any extra
worth, or making any reinc tax back, etc etc.
On the other hand, we have literally hundreds of player hours being
lost in every crash. I myself lost four hours gameplay. If only
fifty players were online at crash time, and each had been mudding
an average of two hours at that point, that's one hundred game hours
completely lost.
As I said in my previous post, if we were stable, this would be a
non issue anyway. I am merely thinking of the players here, and
their efforts towards building a character being hampered, in some
cases quite badly, by the current instability of this mud.

compairing halfelf, elf and human something seems a little,
strange.. "out of tune" even if you want to say. here are things i
notice about halfelf.
stats for halfelf look most suited for a more fighter based guild,
while still being semi-effective at a caster, the stats still lean
towards fighter based.
moreover being stat based more towards fig types, the skill cost is
"slower" than humans, while their spell rate is "faster", which just
seems weird judging by stats.
secondly, i just think their exp rate could be a -tad- higher, being
they are half human and half elf, and both of those races have
relativly high exp rates, but that isn't much of a big deal.
i just think all and all that halfelf should be redone or at least
looked into, cuz it seems to me for that anyone that would like to
try "different races" they'd have a harder time with halfelf.

Why do you assume that the plaque updates when the player file saves?
It doesn't. So it is perfectly possible that the player reinced,
player file saved, mud crashed. And now you propose when the mud
comes back up, that we should give the player free exp just because
the plaque is showing a higher worth for this player than his player
file, even tho the player file is actually correct (assuming the mud
crashes right after the player file saved). This would be the common
case since player files save much more frequently than the plaque.

Simply do it by how much is taken from rev and divide it all equally

I agree with litho. If they want jto wait, well, it's their time
lost. And no one said that it coudln't be capped at 15% or
something...so people cant lower the penalty to 8 or 5....
anywho - I really like the idea of multiple globes.

Me too, i'd like having it as low as 10% would be acceptable, but it

Dont follow up with two words to tstuff like this, - k thx.
Anywho, maybe put an affecting skill in Avatar, but I really don't
think the bonuses should be that low in the guild tree.
If anything, make it so only high priests can offer such low rev
costs - or it would most likely get out of hand, with a ton of
little avatards throwing globes at you.

A big holy area attack spell that blinds all the
aggressive/attacking monsters in the room!
And hurts them too, but blind them to make them
hit less frequently. If they weren't aggressive
and you shoot them with this, they just get hurt bad and turn on you.
Not blinded since they were minding their own business till you
blasted them.
Could be Blinding Light or Holy Radiance or whatever other name.
Just thought Call to Glory had a ring to it.
Maybe instead of miss a bit more, it fuddles their spell/skill use
temporarily. Either way, something neat like that
in Avatar/Exorcist+ Templar maybe, weaken power and
consider it a sharp defensive spell. :)

I think it would be a spiffing idea to have monsters roving about
the vmaps of each island. After all we wander around. there could be
different monsters and they would only attack players based on level
. . e.g. mr 100exp monster would not attack or be able to be killed
by lever 50 player
but mr 100 k exp monster would
This could be evented like viking attack but personally i think they
should be roving all the time ... like gazelle on the plains or
wolves in the forests or geese migrating etc etc etc.
Idea #2 we should have bounty hunter mobs that attack eq parties or
people that kill certain mobs. Imagine thinking your safe in cs

I think that we should have a comet that visits iom every few months
for a month or so. When the comet arrives this does strange things
to the monsters and they become slightly weaker but more aggro as
they are affected. This could spring a variety of events ..
Players who reinc or are created in this time could be born with
deformaties and as a balance there could be a slight
ncrese/decrease to one of their racial stats/maxes. I persoannally
would love to have a third nipple.

I think its a good idea to start with...the comet part...and the

But I think it'd be cool to also have cults that will sacrifice

where you could discuss oddities, to determine whether or not its a
bug, or if your doing something wrong. Imho, if there was a
dedicated channel for this use, ,players could help each other, and
it would cut down on the amount of bug reports on things that arent

pretty sure incredible is just the rating given to a quantity of

Exactly.. what I'm saying is you can go well beyond foo now..

Are you sure the evoker spell damage is much higher than base
incredible? Even 5% higher? Sure we can add 500 int.. but does that
cause substantially higher damage? The 2-rounder incredible is
certainly lower damage than the 4-rounder incredible, but is it
comparable to the difference between the top of enormous and the
bottom of incredible? If people are doing a "rating" higher (e.g.
the difference between the bottom and top of HUGE), then I think
this is a good idea. If not, then not..

from talking to a few people that reinc just a bit like me, i've
come to the conclusion that the charisma on races may alter a few
point but not much. I would like to see this be more various.
for instance, you are walking down the halls of your local mall, you
see an absolute gorgeous woman walking by. Half a minute later, you
see a totally butt-ugly woman walk by and you would like to run into
the bathroom and hurl uncontrollably.
What I would like to see happen is make the charisma of each race
altar more than a few points, to show that some are good looking,
some are average, and some should just go hide in a cave.

I think uhh, there should be a damage rating above incredible..

it won't signify actually increasing anyones damage.. but might just be put in
towards the top of incredible so peeps can have bragging rights that they've

easy, as a 700m gem blaster i was doing incredible damage, no doubt
the low end of it, but if i was able to do that, certainly a 4gig
evoker with a topslot eq set would do much more than i was.

well its like this, you were in first position, but since he stunned
the mob, your not thrown in because the mob has not recognized you
as a party member of his. if you dont attack, you will only be
recognized after the mob tries to strike back at him, and you step
in the way, then you are labeled as a combatant and you are able to
use skills without targeting.
If you need this explained clearer let me know, but i think this is
as clear as i need to be

Draco explained why it happens in the previous post. To get around
this situation, simply type 'kill ' then 'use '
after the spell hits. Or, 'do kill ;use ', or just
make a command for the whole thing. Anyway, good luck.

Yeah, that idea was for ultimate power... he's paid for the traveler
levels, he's asking for a herb preference skill that he'd still have
to pay for, and herbs won't increase his rate much anyway. Stop

The problem with this type of stuff and why it was removed is that
we attract a crowd of players that do this type of stuff strictly to annoy/
pester/bother other players. That is not the type of things we want players

Just putting this idea out there. Soul steal got tuned a while
back. Yes it was out dealing dmg in evoker which I do not believe
is right. However witches are restricted to 2 or 3 even close to
decent dtypes(meaning blast spell could be usefull) Elec(shock),
Psi(soul steal and cyto), and Fire( spontaneous combustion) My
current spell cost on soul steal is 151 with a top slot int set and
something like 700 int, The spell does huge damage.( mind you I
know guild rank plays a big part) I believe this spell cost to be
a bit high as it stand right now the dmg output of a witch(who is
also a mage) is nowhere near the output of an evoker. Evoker have
the same dmg rating if not a bit higher at my worth and set(I was
just one) and a significantly lower spell cost which lets them blast
for far longer(hence more dmg output) now I am not saying that they
should be equal, as evoker are strickly dmg dealers, how ever with
the majority of blast spells in witch at a limited use level and the
omicron spell costing me a whopping 150 sps this seems a little out
of balance. Psi dmg is really not even valued as high as any of
the other dtypes now in an exp party or eq party. AS noone vulns
psi and all and evokers have a far less spell cost. Maybe drop the
sps cost on soul steal a tad? Just an IDEA no need to flame it.

I have to agree with rancor on this one. I know the spell was
powerfull, but like I said before - they may have done a lot of
damage efficiently, but I -never- saw a witch chosen over evoker
(other than personal reasons).
Also, evokers have all kinds of dtypes, and as Rancors said, witch has 3.
And don't say "Ronan did this, and Ronan did that."
Ronan is a F*cking machine, and can do anything. He's insane, so
quit basing shit off him.

subject: >Soul steal

I have to disagree with the need to tune soul steal, although
I know that in itself is an unpopular stance at present.
Having been witch both before and after the tune (some say part of
the reason it happened at all..), I think witch is still a very efficient
blasting guild and I still did xp quite easily and well.
Even after the tune I could xp a meg in less than ten minutes, now
naturally I tapped a bit faster but what guild doesn't tap.
And my rank was nothing crazy, beginning fourth...my int was right
about where Rancor's is now. The point is that each guild has certain
advantages and disadvantages. If soul steal cost is dropped, should
diffuse magic be removed? I know as evoker I'd love a spell that gave
me sps.
And it's a struggle now to even get to incredible dmg as evoker, so huge
dmg is not really that bad at all, imho. It's just not as good as it was.

I think soul steal should be affected only while in a party, ie:
blablamember gets in your way, blocking the soul of MOB
Since solo witch was pretty hurt, afaik
Well thats all I have to say
And litho, your spell costs 160 sps and does twice as much as soul steal.

Waz if I could get evoker spell costs I would saccrifice diffuse
magic in a secoond. I had spell costs of 115 as evoker. witch does
a whole whopping 3 dtypes none of which are to be deemed as very
effective. and out dtypes are not even popular in exp as how many
other guilds do psionic dmg. none so how often will it get vulned
next to none. Evoker is far far far better than witch as it stands
right now for blasting witch should not be better than evoker but I
think it should be good at the one dtype it does and should do well
psionic. OR at the very lest let the psionist masteies effect soul
steal or something as the spell does psionic dmg and that is what
the psionist guild is all about psionic dmg. Evoker and witch
cannot be compoared anymore and any tune that happened recently in
evoker with stats happenend in witch as well.

Firtly I will point out that I am not a witch, have never been a
witch, and have no intentions to reinc witch at the current or any
future time, therefore my own 'testing' of the changes made to this
guild have been from the perspective of a party member - in
particular, one tanking for them.
Having quite recently (last night) test-driven a high level witch in
an exp party, I have found them to be no less effective than an
evoker of the same worth. I have a few reasons for this:
Evokers are capable of one thing, and one thing only, that being
damage. Sure they have multiple damage types, however in a
co-ordinated exp party, this fact is not really important. Most, if
not all high level evokers have maxxed phys and pois damage spells,
both of which are major dtypes used in exp parties.
Witches on the other hand, can prot the tank to increase both hpmax
and dodging rate, and prot all decent level casters in the party for
a quite nice qc boost. The former helps with damage taking/healing
and the latter helps with damage dealing, assuming that those
blasters in the party have decent regen - I found that this was not
a problem with a number of evokers, and a single mid-level healer
looking after enreg.
They can also damage quite effectively. They may not have a
multitude of dtypes, however one of their available dtypes just
happens to be my preferred dtype - elec. Evokers can also do elec,
and any decent abjurer will have elec vuln maxxed, so switching from
the more popular poison damage to the little-understood and often
neglected elec damage, is not a big issue where overall damage
output is concerned.
Couple all of this with the added bonus of wellsprings to throw some
more healer sps into the fray, and you have a quite effective party
member.
Sure, a witch doesn't damage like an evoker, but if the choice is
between blasting as well as an evoker, or having the versatility
that witches currently do, as an exp tank with only one evoker in my
party, I'd be more inclined to take a witch along than I would to
take a second evoker - regardless of the recent changes made to
balance to the guild.
I admit that I could be wrong, but due to that recent testing, I
believe that the root of the problem with the witch guild's
perceived lowered effectiveness, lies not in the guild itself, but
rather lies in the fact that certain players are either, 1) Not
playing the guild to it's current full potential, or 2) Simply not
playing the guild as it is currently intended to be played.
That is all.

ok yes they have a "broad" range of skills, as in dreams, some
blast spells, and nightmares.
The aspect of dreams I will cover first
Yes they have thier uses however I would not call them overly
usefull in exp, they can be usefull for small tanks and woodsman,
however I would not call them useful for a level 90 tank. let alone
a tank like coal, zephyrus, jomo, fox, etc etc. as most of the time
they have no need to parry no need to dodge more than they do, no
need for more resistances. The qc dream is very ver decieving.
Alot and I do mean alot of evokers will not tap with thier own qc
but will very quickly tapp even when pared with others once that
extra 25 percent qc is thrown in there that is a huge amount of qc.
That is they will tapp if the tank moves alng nicely. So yes I
agree they have thier points but I would far from call them a common
every party usage. good for smaller less hps tanks
save
AS far as the dmg thing is concerned. Well I really don't have an
issue with the dmg output the total dmg is fine for what the spell
actually does though I thinkt he spell cost is a bit high. Witch
from what I know is the only guild that has psi as a dtype. if
they are the only guild that does psi then they are somewhat
specialized in that manner. They have a guild that is call psionist
yet none of those masteries effect the psionic dmg spell soul steal.
soul steal has its own dmg mastery but the masteries that cause a
special that causes more dmg, or that cause a stun are absent from
the spell soul steal. talisman even has half of the training for
hypnotic gaze but soul steal is not effected by it. Psionist is not
very popular amongst the witches that I have talked to(not 3 gig
witches) maybe throw those masteries on to soul steal amd mkae
psionist far more popular among witches and improve the cost vs
reward output of soul steal? Just another idea

hi, you forget soul steal also takes some energy from the mobs you
are hurting with soul steal, and transfers it into your talisman, in
essence keeping your talisman quite full for other uses, witch isn't
supposed to be a blast guild, and they aren't crappy as they are,
most gigbie witches have major qc (cuz of the dream), and then when
they have extra regen from whats that regen spell called, anyway i
forget right now, but you get that to help regen, which is almost
like an enreg for sp for witches, and then when you do tap you have
a further spell "diffuse magic", which on top of doing just a tad
bit of dmg, gives you sps. so really i don't see spell costs being
too much of a problem, nor is damage since witches qc makes up for
damaged lossed during the tune, and makes them pretty equal to a
same worthed evoker., furthermore, no one vulns psi cuz if you're
lucky there are 1 maybe even 2 witches on at a time that even bother
to xp:)

oh, i guess i should make this post meaningful
Evoker can only make things go boom, currently for incredible dmg,
it costs the avg evoker(err i dunno) 100sps. 100sps for incredible
for a guild that is designed to make things die, and thats it.
Witch has a spell doing HUGE dmg, and it costs 150 sps, yes you will
tap, yes you have stun res, yes you have diffuse, yes you
have...uhh, a broom(yaay)
Nether does ludircrous amounts of dmg(2nd only to unholy sac) for
160 sps(which is a poopload) but you have a 70-80sp cost spell that
does a lot of dmg over a period of time(i love ceb)
Abjurer, ehehe, they dont count!!
hmm, non-int guilds suxor, so they don't count either

ideas for animal trainer -
move animal husbandry to lower glvl - like 3 or so
create new skill at glvl 10 - teach combat maneuvers
have this skill give extra attack and strengthen overall combat dmg -
maybe link this to attack or natures rage skill(or equiv SS skill)
create new skill at glvl 5 or so - teach drink potions
allow familiar to drink herbalist potions
create new skill at glvl 9 orso - master trainer
- allow teaching multiple extra abilities, have how many gauged by skill %,
and what kind of animal - IE animals from husbandry can learn more
create new skill at glvl 3 orso - animal first aid
allow you to heal your pets dmg
create new skill at glvl 7 orso - teach resting
gives access to the camping skill - linked to trainers skill

This may be true. Yes, these tanks generally hold rather high rates
while tanking, and no, they generally don't have much use for witch
dreams. However, I would like to point out one thing:
The players you mentioned are specialist tanks; Ie: they are Omicron
warriors, a guild that is built specifically for tanking.
There are more people who are willing to tank exp, and have the
skill to do so effectively, than just those four players. To
elaborate, most players above 500m worth have partied with one
particular, fairly large abjurer at least once in their mudding
career.
Were we 'just lucky' to be in the same parties? No, not really. The
fact is, said abjurer got so large because he spends less time
whining about how the majority of tanking players (of whatever
guild) do not have the worth to reach those same rates - and more
time partying, which has the effect of inflating those smaller
tankish types towards the point of being able to reach said party
rates.
If you choose to restrict yourself to partying with only certain
specialist-guild players, namely omicron warriors, then I would
suggest you reinc to a specialist guild so that -you- are more
effective in parties with said players. Otherwise, I refer to my
comment about playing guilds to their full potential.

Perhaps you are not looking at this correctly. If Joe the 2g evoker
does not tap while chain blasting/channeling without a qc dream, he
will be putting out less damage output than he would if he had a qc
dream, even if he taps with said qc dream.
Why is that? Joe's spell does the exact same amount of damage with
qc dream, as it does without it. His stats are the same, his spell
cost is the same, and his regen is the same. The only thing that has
changed is he can pour his sps into damage spells faster than he was
previously able to. If he's tapping, then there's fair argument to
add another type of player - a bard - but I digress.

Another thing you may have overlooked is the fact that Soul steal is
not primarily a blasting spell. Sure, it does some damage, just like
abj vulns and disrupts do some damage. The purpose of Soul steal is
to charge one's talisman directly from a mob's condition.
Somehow I doubt that anyone would agree that an evoker doing damage
even as low as Enormous rating to a mob when charging his amulet,
would either be balanced or make any sense from a realism point of
view, nor do I believe anyone would think the same of a gem blaster
draining his crystals.
I have no doubt that soul steal doesn't charge one's talisman as
much as channel and drain do for evokers and gem blasters
respectively, and I'd be quite surprised if it was cheap to cast.
Remember, it is a dual-effect spell, and you may do well to stop and
think about the reasons why dual-effect spells are not as effective
in both of their effects, or as cost-efficient, as a specialised
spell would be in it's single effect.
I'm quite open to debate, and certainly don't mind being corrected
on those things in which I may be incorrect. But if you're intent on
getting your perspective seen, I would suggest that you address
points with a more logical and objective view than you have thus
far.
As it is right now, it sounds to me as if you are simply cut because
your spell has been balanced in damage vs. sp cost, and you have not
raised many truly valid points in your post, besides the fact that
you are tapping while doing less damage than you used to, by using
one single spell that is not aimed specifically at damage alone.

I am not cut about the tune my god. I knew about the spell cost and
stuff before comming into this reinc as I was witch before and after
the tune before this reinc. It is simply and idea and really should
be left at that. if I hated this guild so much like people are
implying I would not be it. fact is I love it.
So how about psionist masteries like hypnotic gaze, and uhh that
other one can't think of the name atm(the one that offers the dmg
special bonus) be added as an effect to soul steal. they are
applicable to spontaneous cmbustion and that is in talisman, as well
as a fire dmg spell and not psionic. one would thing psionist
masteries would apply to psionic spells. Dunno just an idea noone
has touched in response.

In addition to this, allow it as a bravo prereq for woodsman. At the
moment, we must take herbalist gamma to join sylvan protector,
however the overall power of herbalist potions leaves MUCH to be
desired, from a woodsman's perspective - even with fast mixing and
wis eq - making herbalist a 10 level guild requirement, best left
empty for efficiency.
If we could, instead of being required to max herbalist, instead
require animal tamer (required for sylvan scout anyway) as the
second prerequisite guild for sylvan protector, and then require
animal trainer to be maxxed before joining the woodsman omicron, we
would have a useful guild with useful skills, without needing to
waste 10 levels on a guild which, to all intents and purposes,
considering time costs to create potions and balms, and xp costs to
take those levels, does not add to the ability of a woodsman.

transfered between the two.

My cool notion was to be able to sell bodies back you dont want. Or
atleast be able to do some cool thing where you can kill them.

Well I'm almost 100% sure this has been suggested before. So if it has,
just read it, and either ignore it or comment on it saying MORE than the fact
that its been posted before :)
I'm liking healer, and am liking idling in cathedral haiming and whatnot.
Especially when Athena is around, since her haims and other spells
helped me a lot
as a soloing newbie - now I can assist her a little bit in healing the mud.
Well the idea is that high priests should get a join hands or something -
such that it would give maybe a % or two to haims and maybe knock a % off revs
done by an HP if they are done in a "holy circle" or whatnot. It would just
be a fun sort of feature. Could add some bonuses to confessor spells too, but
those don't matter so much. possibly have any rev exp shared
amongst the circle
similarly to party shares in an xp party. It might be overboard to
have tithes
distributed similarly, but it's another idea. Something to think
about (again probably, as now i'm damn sure its been mentioned
before).

I believe the point pedron was making here, is that if you start a
line with the word 'think' in a news post, the trigger detection
considers that to be a trigger, and aborts the post.
