Re: The Importance of Good Communication

One of the things I have learned growing up is the power my words have on others, whether well spoken or not, whether muttered or direct. And many times I say one thing with one intent and people interpret it another. I have often found it is so easy to offend others when I had nothing but good inte...

Re: Riding Skill Influencing horse Stats

This idea has a few issues. #1: The fact that mounts gain skill is a bug. I believe it was once addressed but from the sound of things, it was not fully fixed. It is not one of those bugs that will cause you to be banned from the game. However, if you happen to gain from it, one day you may find tha...

Re: Marketplace tune up?

For example if you try to sell rodent pelts and clean rodent pelts and exquisite gold trimmed blessed by the gods tanned rodent leather, the market probably won't tak...

Re: Some questions on items currently for auction

The first question is best answered in-characterly as the seller probably never tried to attach a wagon to the camel nor has he tried to ride the camel in combat. Logic and common sense would probably be the best line of thought. The latter question has already been answered in game if you look care...

Re: The Importance of Good Communication

One of the problems with communication via text is that it does not 100% convey tone, body language or facial expressions. Some attempts have been made to fix some of this with emojis but some people find them offensive or immature. Also, screenreaders can't always interrupt them and they are often ...

Re: Tumbling in Moderate mithril

I just double checked this and you can indeed tumble while wearing mithril armor if you are classified as moderately armored and not too heavy from other things. However, keep in mind that tumble is mainly intended for light armor wearers and will incur a penalty with the heavier armors. To make sur...

Re: Monotheism in Arad?

Monotheism can definitely be a thing. However, there is currently no established lore to support this and most "'immortals"' are not worshiped but rather honored or revered but there is the occasional cult who crops up that chooses to worship one or the other. Unless you wish to count the ...

Re: Knights of the Wyrvardn

My personal opinion on the matter is if you want to call yourself a knight regardless of faction or guild, you are free to do so. How you back up that claim is up to you. Just be realistic with your lore and don't claim to have been knighted by the great king of some foreign land or something.

Re: Introduction system

A nickname/anonymity system was attempted in the past but it did not work out so well with the game mechanics. However, we do currently have the NOTE command in place where you can make your own list of names and assign their description or anything else you like.
