Re: Inappropriate darkness

This could also be caused by damage to the Weave. I'll try to remember to report it to the Mystrans.

Re: Experience and Training

Sure, the RP is very important and what will keep players coming back to FK. But do not knock training, even soloing! I present my strongest argument why this is still a vital part of FK, and should remain so: <100%hp 93m 75%mv> < Human > Liaghe Sialir 1 player. <100%hp 93m 75%mv> It is 2 o'clock am...

Re: Descriptions: The Good, The Bad, and The Uncharismatic

Something that I find vaguely disquieting is a description that seems to go on forever. I wish some would be restricted to 15 lines. Tattoos are something else that makes me wonder sometimes. I occasionally see tattoos included in descriptions, located in places I assume I would never have reason to...

Re: Secret Bugs

This bug cause a kind of knee-jerk response in me because I have been trading, and therefore guilty of exploiting this bug (although I didn't fully realize it). Generally speaking, I think the players are already well informed as to where we are on critical issues and there's no need to make any maj...

Re: Secret Bugs

Yes, I have a thought! I have been trading, and was not aware this was a bug. I generally load trade goods into saddlebags, but never bothered putting it on my mount because my encumbrance was not affected. I would be quite annoyed if I was punished for 'exploiting' a bug I was not aware of. I'm not...

Fly + Mount = Very Bad?

This might not be a bug, but it was an unwelcome surprise. I have Low level character, not very skilled in mount. Had just bought a painted horse. A wizard offered to cast 'fly' on the horse. I accepted. Apparently, it is harder to ride a flying horse. I fell off. I went from 100% health to _diemsg_...

I'm taking a break from the MUD for a bit, but I wanted to offer one more thought about what makes FK difficult for newbies. It's somethng Sologhar mentioned. The way things are set up now, FK tends to discourage new players (not characters) from exploring. A veteran player will have little difficul...

Merchants and Bandits

Log below. Attacked by bandit on the road, guard for the merchant caravan assists the bandit. I hope this is a bug. The sky is sultry and a warm southerly breeze blows.

There's a lot of truth to what's being said. I think it is time to assign blame. This is the fault of you OLDIES! Yes, the older players! Maybe even you, Selveem!

I think Selveem has an interesting point. Maybe using the amulet should incur a minor fatigue penalty? Movement drain? After all, communicating telepathically can be very exhausting. I mean, theoretically. I'm sure it could be set up so that wizards lose less movement than fighters, or something lik...

I like this idea. The weight of coins doesn't really make much of a difference to me. But if a banker was charging me 10% interest to hold my coin, he would never see it.

And, in fact, they don't. Except for a token amount in case I die and need to buy pants. (Learned that the hard way).

FK is really meant to be a group adventure. Emphasizing this during character creation might help. I think new characters will still die learning the truth of this, but it makes it less of a bitter pill to swallow. Another idea I had is in relation to areas. You can use the ‘area’ command to get a l...

Newbie Friendly?

Is Forgotten Kingdoms really ‘newbie friendly’? Just my opinion. And a couple ideas. Good stuff… 1. Character Creation: Brilliant. The character creation process hooked me as much as anything else. I like having various famous characters explain aspects of the game. And all the major aspects of game...

I think the real question would be, 'How long is the baby considered to be part of the mother's form?' We can assume the baby would be a willing subject, because it loves mom. But the spell only affects one willing creature (according to the SRD). If the baby is considered a separate entity right fr...
