My personal frustrations - during the flares, Mag will often camp the bubbles to stop people from even raising constructs (something that even helps them if they wanted to focus negatively on it) for getting orgpoints. Same with wildnodes - people t…
Let me back up and talk about the A-word, as it matters why it is disheartening. I don't think it is out of the question to assume that a side plays to 'win'. So what does winning looking like? For some that was seeing Mag (and b…

And telling our side to 'get over it' by saying this means the game is just going to stay the same. The decision has wrecked our side's trust in Orael/admin. It has killed a lot of people's motivation to sign in, while raising yo…
This is a huge thing. I'm fine with the artifact rune being something that can push you to 13/13, this part is fine as long as it is within the system. It is something anyone can work towards and it caps everyone else.
2) Ice Angels if you want to count them... I love the idea that the soulless are able to make Avatars in general and ok with giving their power to mortals (either willing or not). The idea that they are more than just hungr…
Once upon a time, it could have support this many orgs. Although some many argue otherwise about the release of Hallifax and Gaudiguch back in 2010, the admin saw that the game at the time had the numbers for more orgs. Ove…

If shields count as armor, then you can put damage buff and resistance runes on them. Of course, this means you would have be always be wielding your shield if you wanted those runes to be effective which might not be case if yo…
While I can't speak for most people, my desire to write books for the game is low. My interest lies in the scholarly topic, but since new rules saying you have to put a disclaimer on all unproven statements I have no intere…

When it has basically caused a large part of Shadowlight's side to no longer trust Orael or the choices he makes are for the best for the game it just is going to turn into this. Morale being shot and one side basically giving u…

It is largely a numbers issues. We can muster 5-6 to fight, sometimes evening out the starting enemy forces that went to the timequake/whatever, but when you guys then call in 3 times as many then it just becomes pointless for us to t…

You should be able to still use the magic tome for scroll usage. With Bookbinding dormant, I don't believe you get the auto-charging from hits (so probably would need to make sure you charge it up before making Bookbinding dorma…

While 2 million may seem like it is steep, it is a permanent connection, even if the shop changes hands. I, personally, hate ongoing fees and much rather pay a single one time fee (within reason), even at a much higher cost.

This is where the line is, and probably goes against what you two are trying to do. Having to relay on other players is tedious to me and not very engaging. Working towards that self-sufficiency is much more engaging than having…
The system was designed that 1-10 should be achievable without artifacts and 11-13 would be what requires artifacts of some form. Originally, the artifact runes where 1/11, 2/12, and 3/13, but those were judged too weak for their…
If that's what is considered 'big ones', then you could really consider anything if you see defenses as things to protect against abilities that strip random defs. Aquas Needle rain, Sigil from Runes, Undoing from Dreamweaving, a…
Big ones? The only 'big ones' are most enchantments and potions and some newer artifacts. (EDIT: I realize how bad this first line probably sounds after reading it... I would consider 'big ones' ones that come from guild skills m…
Even 10 years ago when classflexing was a thing and alchemy/enchantment was locked more, trades never really made large sums money unless you were herbs (and even then, you could argue the time it took, you basically were 'breaki…
IRE heads, at one point anyway, had a strong anti-coding mindset. You see this in old rules about things like autobashing/influencing being technically banned before but nothing was really done about it. While this belief about a playe…

I'm not sure the average newbie is using nexus, or at least stays on nexus. One of the first things newbies often get recommended for them is mudlet and to get mmf for various qol things built within it that are still used. Your …

Defense overhaul would be basically the same as the affliction overhaul - all defenses would send gmcp message when raised and dropped. Right now, only about 100 defenses do this, most of them newer things, which are largely artifact-level …
Because most defenses don't have gmcp message, this makes it really hard for new players to create systems and what not to keep themselves alive. When affs went from affmessages to full gmcp messages, we saw a bit increase in newbies j…

We have seen a number of newbies complain about defenses and how hard it is to deal with them. I'm not sure about you, but if I was a newbie, I would care more about defenses given how large conflict is marketed as an aspect of the game. I …
As a general question from this, sometimes it feels Ephermeral characters are sometimes more loved than actual role you take. That everyone seems to go 'oooh, I wonder what is happening' when an ephemeral shows up, regardle…

Hallifax of the future broke out into a civil war and the guilds were fighting against each other. Even to the point of sending people back in time to destroy the other guilds when there was a time of piece. To stop the civil wa…

As a clarifying point, OffP is OffPlane and tells you when someone is on a different plane than you. It doesn't tell you how many planes away (unless they are in a manse, then they don't show up at all), it could be 1 or it could be 5. …
