The mud is anti-exploration as it is. Extremely aggressive mobiles litter the realms and high level zones often have little introduction. Take MD for instance. Several steps north of the standing stone, and you're only told that you're approaching MD. Sounds harmless so far. Then splat. I have neve...

Sorry, many of the athletes even from the US do not train 'all expenses paid'. It takes exposure as a champion to land endorsements for advertising contracts that pay for everything. Only a few athletes at the top make the money. In well established sports like track, soccer, swimming and so forth,...

I started out as Iaiken, Human Paladin near start of last wipe... Paladin's have come a LONG way as a class, yet they still suck compared to warriors...

Bored at work with not much else to do, but to think... What if the currently messed up meathod of high exp tables and fixed exp values was brought into balance similarly to the challenge rating system for D&D 3E was (only without the glaring logic errors that currently exist in it) What if mobs gav...

Infact i would argue the grind of exp can be more fun. Wow... I have been involved with mudding and mmorpg's for a long time, but I have never heard anyone say that... Most people just grind away to get to where they can play the endgame (zoning etc.) Personally, I find it about as fun as getting y...

I was wondering, is it possible to skirt proxies and firewalls by tunneling a TCP/IP connection over HTTP? I have seen it done with DNS to tunnel in a UDP fashion that with some creative coding acted like TCP/IP and allowed access to HTTP servers that the firewalls and proxies were blocking... but t...

Err, Question for Iaiken Toransier. Is your post supposed to state that there should be a reason or not for playing an evilrace over good. Just kinda confused about the first sentance in relation to the rest of the post. The rest of the post seems to imply that people could use incentives to play e...

Iaiken Toransier

Err, why are we discussing evil/good equivalance again? I like the idea of an actual reason to play the evil side with the diffrent mechanics. If you want crispy tanks, psi's, slotless race, dayblindness, crud attacking you at random places play an evil, else.. Now if we just had more players.... Y...

See, the funny thing about Mind Flayers is that pretty much every intelligent race (sorry ogres, no luck this time) hates them and will kill them on sight. This is especially true for duergar other subteranean races that dwell beyond the light of day. Why? Well, they enslaved tortured and mutilated ...

Gith come in two flavors, chaotic evil and chaotic neutral. Home is the astral plane though, might be interesting. Thri-Kreen can be good, and are psionically active. Don't think they are a Forgotten Realms race though. Still, insect race would be interesting too. It's a pity that Thri-Kreen never ...

Am I the only one who finds the recurring use of RL examples from peoples' lives in a discussion of MUD align somewhat bizzare? Not that it's automatically inapplicable, but that it just feels strange. I don't see where anyone used this type of example. I was simply citing non-specific examples tha...

From the 3rd Edition D and D rules, true neutral WILL commit acts of evil to maintain balance between good and evil as they Will commit acts of good in the name of said balance. Example you just saved a village from a overwhelming hoard of orcs. By doing so you significantly weakend their forces an...

The biggest problem I have as a newbie is IDing gear. I don't have the income to support 1 plat+ ident scrolls, etc. I know that's part of the game with gear you find, but what about gear you buy? unless I'm missing something, shouldn't you be able to tell if the armor at the store is better then w...

Thumbs Up! :D Very well done spy thriller! I think it's safe to say however you felt about the first one, you're going to feel the same way about this one.

3) Instead of the crap guard police "kill on sight" government/policing system, devise a type of government where people govern themselves. Hold elections for a king of WD.

If the mud Pwiped, I'd probably be back to play casually again. (So, for a few of the gods I guess that would qualify as a reason not to.) I figure I'd play a neutral human chanter to start, or maybe an elementalist. I doubt I would join the race for 50, I just don't have that kind of time to dedica...

When I rolled up my Dwarf fighter Valrus, I didn't have a clue that at level 28 he would have as many hp in the nude as my level 43 paladin. Better hit/dam, slightly lower ac, but this was MAJORLY offset by the extra HP. I was tanking stuff at level 24 that Iaiken couldn't do at level 35 w/o a mount...

Out of this newbie experience, I learned that even in scardale, it is hard as hell to kill something as a level one caster. I know that if I hadn't known what I know now, as a newbie there would be no way for me to achieve it. I agree, had it not been for my higher level friends it would have taken...

Yup, the ONLY MMORPG that I am even concidering, played on my friends beta account, glad they fixed the rest system... Check it out at: http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ I just hope that they have higher character appearance variability... kinda sucks to look like every other 100th person...

I know that a lot of those people are mentally ill, but it doesn't make me any less angry at them when I think of the harm they do to kids. I still think they are just as in need of serious daily harm as they are in need of help... but you'll have to excuse my lack of compassion.

Iaiken Toransier

The poll options are bloody-well fine. They boil down to: 1. I like it. 2. Abstain. 3. I don't like it. If you want to go into specifics as to why you like or dislike it, write them down please. Don't go asking me to think up ALL of the appropriate options for each of you. :P That's just silly.

I doubt that many people can argue how fresh, clean and professional the site looks, but frames?

First REAL snowfall of the season last night and it's already 3 inches deep, as I write this I am looking past my monitor out the window (which encompasses the whole one wall of my bedroom) at the big fluffy snowflakes dancing in the updrafts.

Oh, Iaiken, if you want to learn a real martial art, take up one of the forms of shaolin kung fu. Snake style is hard as hell to learn.

Problem inherant with a business that is at it's core leasing the use of hardware/software is the constantly rising cost of new hardware.
