(Quote) No one's saying we should go back to making someone who's never heard of Lusternia choose from 5 different classes presented in terms of dense lore and a huge amount of complex skillsets. The concern is that starting entirely without …
-
(Quote) Important issue that several people have pointed out now. Any ideas for fixing it? I figure it would be a big help to give newbies a hint that they should SIP <health/mana/bromides> when they run low, maybe for the first 10 lvls…
-
What do people think about reducing some of the xp gain from the newbie intro, the Pools, and/or some of the tasks? Compounded by tasks, it's easy to gain Lvl 5 just thru the newbie intro and get to Lvl 15-20 just thru the Pools, then you show up at…

In the long term, I would suggest having newbies briefly select a preliminary class during the newbie intro. Before sending you to kill the rats, Atropos could give you a choice of generic weapons:
- a wooden lute (bard)
- a nature …
-
(Quote) This is a really important point. Once you've finished Pools, Collegium, and Newton, you're most likely going to be well past Lvl 31 and picking/changing race and class is a hassle. Plus, it's ideal to have a class *before* Collegium …

Seconding @Esoneyuna, esp in light of the new intro and pools where people are earning xp. I love in Improved Newbie Intro Released! Comment by Devora January 2019
-
@Esoneyuna Wow, I'm a lot slower than that. Did you use anything to help level up, like cookies or going up to astral?
In any case it's a huge … -
Seconding:
1. Support for RP- Please make RPWHO ON something we can toggle on permanently instead of having to do it every time we log on
- Please do some small RP events two or three times a month! Just a few RL days at…
-
(Quote) @Esoneyuna You got all the way up to Level 30 without race or class getting brought up? That's definitely concerning. Did you level up that …
-
@Xenthos Is that intro script shareable? Might be cool to have an option to give newbies during OOC chatting a link to your intro on the forums in case they'…
-
@Esoneyuna Do you think the newbie intro should make people pick a preliminary race/class before stepping out into the world proper?
I'd like t… -
And I can't stress how important and inclusive I think it would be to bring back artisanals and bardics. Even if the rewards are substantially lower. That was a seriously cool achievement system. If you're short on manpower, what about an in-game ve…
-
I love Shaddus's first 3 ideas, to make notches for failure as well as success.
For example, an achievement for an incredibly unlikely failure to dodge a blow when you have a very high chance of dodging. An achievement for getting eaten b… -
I second @Arix's question. Would be interesting if everyone had been required to learn merian. Or maybe there was already a Common before humans came, but then …
-
@Estarra Sorry to hear you went to the trouble! Thanks to Lusty's incredible coders, they got fixed promptly after I reported them. In total, there were at l…
-
You know, I'm embarrassed to say this bc I've been among the players harping on about starting newbies out at a more easily navigable point than the Portal of Fate, but now I find myself strongly missing the lore connection. The Portal of Fate was t…
-
Bugs were all fixed promptly! Thanks so much to the hardworking folks behind the scenes.
This time I was able to play through the entire intro. Atropos's basement was so cool! Thank you so much for bringing journals back. Also, I'm super … -
Also, I think there should be prompts after a certain amount of time has passed, repeating what Clotho tells you and what you are suggested to ask, for instance, or repeating where you're supposed to walk. People who haven't figured out how to scrol…
-
Deeply grateful about how epic this new intro is, as far as I've seen. I look forward to replaying it for kicks and giving lots of feedback about the positives.
However, I spent over half an hour reporting bugs and typos, from the trivial… -
(Quote) Very true, I wasn't saying "get rid of the pools" or "rewrite history," my point was that the Pools pick a particular time period which is very binary and doesn't correspond in important ways with the nuance of the orgs nowadays, whic…
-
What do other players think about the suggestion that each city/commune eventually have its own Pools of Remembrance for its newbies?
Obviously this would be a long term project, but re: Xenthos's point, I'm a bit miffed by the clear/murk… -
Mechanics
- Not a bug, but this might happen to newbies: If you get impatient during phase 2 of murky and, for example, kill all the bats _before_ killing Tahki, you inadvertently summon Maroc who attacks you. Even if you kill Tahki and f…

Ooo, these sound fun!
Might be worth it to make different mobs contribute to the 300 curio-dropping threshold in different increments, tho. Low level mobs like Shallach orcs would be 0.01 each, an aetherspace creature or an astral creatur… -
Thanks for this! Love the idea of a standardized set of commands for economic transactions and for summarizing character value.
It may be worth asking, though, for each proposed change, and for the effect of multiple changes together: Wou… -
Me on the outside: Thank you so much Ianir!! In the short time I've been here you made a huge impression on me, impressed me with your work ethic, and caused a lot of laughs. Wishing you all the best!
Me on the inside:in Thank you Ianir Comment by Devora October 2018

My bad, I said "helpbugs" a few times, but I meant "helpedit." It's still a new feature to me
-
(Quote) Also, seconding these two points. Luckily, players could help improve these things! For the first point, it would help if even more players than those who already do this kept an eye on the logs to see when new players join their city…

Ok, I had my friend who hasn't played MUDs before try out Lusternia.
Question: I still have no clue how hard her ideas would be to code. Is there a resource players can use to adjust their suggestions and expectations to the sorts of thin… -
@Enya Omg is that a Vizsla or a Vizsla mix??? I am obsessed with them. Their eyebrows are SO cute
-
(Quote) Could you clarify what you mean? What is unavailable? As a newb I found the city help files, newbie channel, and the website provided the info on rp and IC expectations that I was looking for. What lessons on how to rp a native Lusty …
