Re: Animate dead, create undead

For the purposes of alignment and morality, in my experence the DM team don't really differentiate between Summon and Create undead.

The use of undead is always... lets say 'morally dodgy'. We might look at the circumstances around it, but not the difference between those spells neccesarly.

Re: Quarter Ownership

I do not think you can ignore evictions. Location does matter. If I play evil and I am anywhere except in Crow's Nest, Senecliff, Dis, or the Shadowplane it is not an if it is when will I be caught and be evicted once I am eventually caught and exiled? This goes for ships as well. If I want to be e...

Re: Quarter timers

From a DM perspective, I'm honestly not that worried about the quarter hogging aspect. It might make it a little easier sure, but dedicated hoggers will still hog. It's an ongoing issue that is difficult to solve however, because I don't think there's any easy mechanical solutions, so it has to be h...

Re: Award cycling races: Giants

IMO, dropping the odd none-english word to suggest a characters heritage/background/nationality isn't an entirely bad thing. E.g. Words for yes, no, hello, goodbye, ect -esp where they're generally fairly well known anyway, just one or two is no huge sweat. But if you're using such parlence heavily,...

Re: We need better rewards for grouping for dungeons

I would be devastated if any further measures to destroy soloing and make leveling in dungeons slower would be taken. This is a very personal case, but I am sure a lot people can relate: my gaming time is limited, and I would rather spend an hour quickly running through a few dungeons for whichever...

Re: We need better rewards for grouping for dungeons

A thought: I kinda feel there are two strands being disussed here. 1) Leveling 2) Getting Gold. Now don't get me wrong, I'm absolutly not against the idea of encouraging grouping for levleing - but I don't feel that that's the... issue as much? (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Re: We need better rewards for grouping for dungeons

One interesting change that happened that, I think, disincentivises group travel - and a bonus you didn't mention, is that if you're with a group in a dungeon and your pc dies, then they can be raised and continue. The change comes in here: Back In The Day - you used to get a lot more 'raw gold' (as...

Can it not be something like a check on the CD-key when a character joins a faction? Like say I make a Fighter and join the Cordor city guard. I get invited to the faction on that character. I then make a Wizard and also try to join the Cordor city guard. When I get the invite for this faction, the...

Re: Death Amnesia Waiving?

Speaking personally I think the above is fine. So long as everyone involved is Ok with it being wavered. and also (ideally) so long as we don't see someone going around saying 'yes XXX KILLED ME! they KILLED ME AND I REMEMBER IT!' - But if all sides consent, then it should be fine.

To be honest 3 months feels like too short for some long term plots etc. to develop. If someone has grandiose plans or their RP has them become a dictator of sorts, it'd be detrimental to it. Then they can set up someone else as a puppet of sorts, and whilst 'become a dictator of sorts' might sound...

The team's concern, first and foremost, is character activity. If a character hasn't been actively roleplaying at all leading up to an election, then the character shouldn't vote.
