Re: A Rogue's Journey to Literacy

I have no words for how happy I am to see this still happening! Your dedication is a joy to watch, and that's a big part of what's so great about having Sarah around as a character. Literally never change.

Re: Upcoming: Ability Trees, Skill (un)Caps, and Challenge-Based Skill Practice

I played for a while on a mud where your skills were not capped by level, and there was no meaningful global cap. I definitely found that it encouraged people to do nothing but endlessly grind their skills all day, to the point where you couldn't find any character interaction during which people we...

Re: New Primalist ability: Beastskin

This is extremely cool!

It would be neat if it could be cast with just the skin, maybe requiring higher Druidry and using up the item. It could create a little bit of a secondary market for hunters and another small riln sink.

Re: Wishlist Ideas You Want to See

I'm sure this has been suggested somewhere, in some fashion, before but I'm just going to suggest it again: Player-written books. I'd love a way for these to be codedly added to the world and be available for purchase so that those of us writing them don't have to go through the whole song and danc...

Re: Wishlist Ideas You Want to See

I would like to be able to frame things! Maybe they could be craftable? They could work kind of like labels where they just append to the item description, maybe, so that you can have 'A yellowed parchment in an austere spruce frame' or 'An 8,000 riln Shadgard Mining Co. promissory note in a garish ...

Re: Various Quality-of-Life Suggestions

It would be neat if we could TELL our group something out of character. I don't know, GTELL or something?

Re: Various Quality-of-Life Suggestions

It seems strange that I can't see what animals are on a farm without any farming skill. What is preventing me from looking inside a shed?

It'd be neat if at 0 skill you could still use the 'farm animals' command just to see exactly how many goats are near you.

Re: Suggestions Needed: Describe Up!

This is tough because it really has to be strictly, objectively physical. If my descriptions says I have a playful bearing, how does that translate to when I'm dead and you're looking at my corpse? Or if I've posed that I'm asleep under a bench? No, I don't know why I'm under the bench instead of on...

Re: Coming soon: ESP Zones

So, after seeing this in action for a while, I would like to suggest that these new features be OPT-OUT rather than opt-in. There have been many times that I've ridden into an esp zone, done aura who, seen there was no one, and then immediately rode into a room with a group of people who were mainl...

Re: Wishlist Ideas You Want to See

I think it would be neat if you could occasionally find old tomes or scrolls or tablets or whatever inside of lockboxes that could be sold for a bunch of riln but only after a Scholar uses their Linguistics skill to translate them! This could potentially extend to other scholarly skills if that's in...
