Didn't plague used to be contageous? And couldn't mobs pass it on to players above the rank 10?
If so, why is it not anymore?
This would make an interesting twist to city life. |

Why? Healers (and shamans I believe) can cure it, as can the priests. I personally think a few wide spread plagues would be fun. |

I saw about 2 days ago when someone caught a plague from someone else in his pk range that had it, so that part works still at least. A widespread plague still wouldn't be as fun as it used to be back when plague did real damage. |

Hahahahaha Yes widespread plague. I think it is a great idea. That would add a well deserved twist to a pretty useless spell. |

It barely does any damage. Except against avians. I can think of quite a few better spells for all the classes to use instead of plague.
But adding this effect would make me use it more! |

Poor newbie thinking the HP damage is what makes this spell so erm DAMAGING. Think of it this way....it does so little hp damage per hour because the spell would be TOO good if it hurt you more. |

*sigh* Then tell me oh masterful one what makes this spell SOOO powerful then.
And this is besides the point. Lets just say I agree with Bones. And think that making plague contagious(sp?) would be a nice touch. |

You've passed algebra right? The damage plague does is amount per tick * amount of ticks. It used to do over 600 damage at level 30. Also you can't regen dick for hp mana mv while plagued, so good luck getting cure if you were caught far from town. |

It's a free trip to the temple!
I just think that those who are plagued, might have a slight chance to infect mobs, and the mobs might have a slightchance to infect other players (above 10).
Making just the ever-so-slightest chance of affecting those outside his PK range. |

Werd. I'm going to start plaguing everything in hopes of a large group of noobs begging for a cure which turns into a large pile of dead corpses at south square.
You've made my day significantly better Dav. Thanks. |

I remember when I was ranking my shaman in the shire with githnaru and there was a warrior trying to train on chickens and wouldn't leave. He was really pissed when he came back to his computer ten minutes later to see himself in the temple. |

Plague is one of those things you save for right before your enemies going to run. |

Hah, that used to be every damn day in the first age. High rank evils would always fill up south square, etc. with a shit ton of mobs and plague them all. That was when plague was DEADLY too. Under level 20 you'd die in like 3 ticks at full health.
Ahh, the good old days. |

If its true that in the first age people under rank 20 would die in 3 tics from plague, then it used to be a very unbalanced spell and im glad that it has been changed. However a plague or two that brakes out through the city may still be fun...... it would force people to leave town, there would be more pking oportunitys, and one could kill ones enemy while he is infected!

Last I remember getting killed by that it was doing dismembers the first tick and killed me with massacre by the fourth or fifth. I was trying to quit in between ticks to get to the bank and back to the healer. Finally made it and had to return to the bank again because I didn't withdraw enough. Eventually I finally paid but the cure failed since it was level 50 plague, so I got killed and expholed anyway, minus a bunch of gold.
It was a nice counter for low rank avians. I wouldn't mind avians getting hit by old-style plague actually since they have the huge mv freedom in both low and high ranks, and that's supposedly their weakness. But for the rest of the mud its kind of retarded and stupid. |
