Things you'd like to see in 2008.

whether or not people gank you for it all i am saying is that it probably wasnt added to the game so that there would be more ganking. its just realistic.

its a completely valid suggestion and it doesnt need your input as to when YOU wouldnt like it. Its for some immortal to decide whether they like it enough to include it in the game, okay?

1. look at them
2. criticism isnt constructive if its wrong

youre always wrong but you always get the last word, dont pass judgement at all, just dont. let Davairus slam me for my suggestion being retarded, but you are not right at all (this goes for all past and future arguments I have with you)

im pissy cause youre more retarded than I am. I think im right but then i see the other side and see how I am wrong and admit defeat, you just never give in!

this qualifies as a personal attack

[Mummy]

[Mahkan]

i know he wasnt necessarily slamming me here, but it all sort of culminated in a big retardation explosion.

im just tired of him preaching, that is all.

i also want to point out the fact that a noob just told a noob he was retarded for calling another noob a noob

How about the ability to start our own gangs? Like cabals, but we come up with our own gang name, theme, rules for entry, etc.

[Esura]

You can do that already; people have tried that in the past(see the Red Fang Clan for one example). It's just that there is no game coding which supports it, so it'll be unofficially run by you. It would be nice to get immortal support for that kind of thing, but I don't think they're going to bother doing the requisite coding for it. Besides, cabals are sparse on members anyway; it'll be difficult to build up any kind of significant gang outside of cabals until we get playerbase way up.

[Mandor]

and if they were supported, they wouldn't get cabal like skills. its a great RP opportunity, but they probably shouldnt have actual [gang] tags by their name, although they would need to have a gang system to be able to post notes to all their members. the reason small gangs have such a hard time starting is A: the lack of visibility that an established roster/channel/note system would allow to see who else is in the gang, and B: the lack of players in of itself.

you could theoretically have them add a line in their discription about a tattoo or another defining characteristic, such as an intricately described object, i.e. cloaks, medallions, etc. but then people not in the gang would just put that in to trick you, although if you have a cohesive enough group, you could gangbang them into condeath for attempting to subvert your gang. you could also have an emote that has to be responded to by a different one, that only established gang members would know, but then again OOC connections and logs would have to be carefully monitored to make sure that information isn't found out by everyone else.

basically though, its a lot less logistic work just to go into a cabal, or stay uncaballed and just kill everyone because your evil RP allows you to mass murder.

there's also the problem with every player having around 10 alts, meaning that coherence drops considerably, as different characters have different agendas, etc. the same way some people in cabals dont show up for a long time because they choose to play an alt instead. I really dont think alts are good for the game with such a low amount of real players. that and the constant level to 40 and let that character rot, while you level up more alts because you're A: bored, or B: impatient trying to find a level group.

Automap is newer than minimap, and is a different thing altogether. It's lagless, shown as part of the room description every time you move, and it's smaller than the minimap. It also displays on look. It's basically everything you're asking for plus a little extra.

[Mandor]

board moderation to cut down on the trolling kiddie posts that are detrimental to the atmosphere of the game, particularly viewed through newcomers' eyes. at least cut down on the personal or ad hominem attacks in posts, either mod edited out or post completely deleted if baseless and trollish.

[Reken]

considering that illithids can only be illusionists would it not make sense to have a racial legacy for them?

[Mahkan]

cone of force/leech/mana healy thing?

[Reken]

well they are not exatcly racial legacies just illithid things, so it would make more sense to open illithids to the other mage classes.

[Erlwith]

there are plenty of those types of combos with no legacies. minotaur berserker, slith warrior, beast ranger, so forth and so on.
