Make character age a function of play time, not the time since it was created. I've got a lowbie paladin that I'd like to have played recently, but, he's 94, and not likely to be getting rejuvenated... he gets out of breath just going down the stairs in the inn:). I've had to rejuvenate my anti twic...

I have a twin monitor video card, and two monitors, on my machine at work. I like it so much that I have one at home, waiting for me to save up for another monitor. I also got one for my wife, with another monitor... she says she doesn't know how she managed with just a single monitor. I REALLY reco...

Well heck, if you're going to remove store hours, you might as well remove gate hours, also. :D

I've got over 700 cds... been buying since 1985. However, in the last couple of years, I've probably only bought about 10-20... because I subscribe to http://www.emusic.com.

I'm sure this has been mentioned any number of times, but, how about implementing a 'designate' command so that you can label mobs... it's a real pain when mobs wander in and catch the spell/hit meant for another mob. 'designate 1.giant A' 'designate 2.giant B' etc. If I'm casting a spell, swinging ...

Do you have a linux box on your network? 'ping -b 255.255.255.255' will get replies from anything on the network. I looked to see if the windows ping had anything similar, but, it didn't.

How about adding some timer/flag to auctioned items, such that either they can't be auctioned again, or, they can't be auctioned for 60 mud months... I don't mind, so much, getting sniped, it's a part of the auction process. What I do mind is getting sniped, for something I could really use, and the...

How about a pan-Sojourn lowbie auction? This auction would have halls in every hometown, items could be placed for auction from anywhere, and retrieved from anywhere, but, the items would be limited to less than 100 plat in price, and auction length to 2 months. This would give low levels the opport...

Before the power supply on my mac went wonky, I used the client Savitar... I know there are others out there, as well. You might want to give them a try. If you're running OSX you might want to see if gMudix will compile on it. It's a linux client that I use and like a lot.

Eilorn.

Finally, make anything less than 1 month read <1m on the board, the last 14 hours are masked, so it's difficult to time when the auction will run out. It guards against people staying low and bidding last second for a bargain, but lets people know the end is close. And others disapproving of the sn...

1. Bloodtusk moved to Luiren's old location. 2. Check for spellbook in inventory at mem/pray time, not when the first spell would mem. 3. More spells or no fail on Bard/Battlechanter spells. 4.

For those of us not in the know... whatever happened to Bloodstone? Is it out of the game for refurbishing? Is it out of the game for ever? Was it moved? My anti came back to find himself ensconsed in Viper's Tongue. Ordinarily not a big deal, but, it's a LONG walk up to the WD area.

If you're an evil, you, like me, probably haven't been in a zoning group for almost a month now. There are 3 reasons for that as far as I can tell. The first is a lack of players period. I dont think I've seen more than 6 40+ players on since that last zone. The second is a lack of needed classes. ...

I connect, but, nothing happens after I connect. I'm using gMUDix 0.10 on RedHat 9.0. I've got the source code if you can tell me what kind of hand shaking it requires.

I posted this in the Gameplay Discussion for another topic, but, it's apropos here... I don't see why you'd need to use compression: Sample bandwidth calculations: server to mud clients: (1000 words/minute) * (1minute/60seconds) * (6 bytes/word) * 160 connections = 16000 bytes/second mud clients to ...

Regarding proxy servers: identd will work and play well with NAT ip forwarding, you might want to see if it will work some standard (squid) proxy server. You can set it up so that someone coming from a particular address will have a particular ident returned to the caller. You can also, I think, set...

Shell accts would solve the auth problem, but wont help with those who are using zmud or other gui mud client, could have shell accts and run cli mud form there sure.

Or if there are any iptables guru's out there, im sure there has to be some chains that can be set up to allow port forwarding while keeping the src ip the same I'm sure that someone will correct me, if I'm wrong, but, if you changed the src ip on an outgoing packet, return packets would attempt to...

I know most of you won't care, but, could you have aging tied to playing time, rather than calendar time?

Hmm, perhaps your point is that if you break a crankshaft or piston arm when you're driving along at 60 mph, Really Bad Things can happen? I don't know enough to say.

OR, just get rid of the roller altogether. Give 600 stat points, and stipulate that no stat can be below 50. This way a perfect top row would mean a bottom row of all 50.

Or some combination of minimums.

Let bards have 680, though :P.

Another thing you could do is add a direction parameter to the search command. search with no parameters searches all over, search with a direction has 6x greater chance of finding something hidden in that direction.

It'd be nice to have more spells castable in each mud-day. But the thing that really gripes me is failing said spells. We fail, and it's 24 minutes until the next try(or whenever they replenish). Even ranger mem times aren't that bad :P . How about making our meager spells no-fail?

After further experience, it looks like a bash is being treated as an ordinary hit, and defensive skills are being attempted against it: parry/riposte/dodge, when dodge should be the only appropriate skill used against it.

How about changing hitall from an inter-round skill, as bash/kick/shieldpunch/etc. are, to a main round replacement? When you do a hitall, it will take all the hits you'd normally get in that round and try to hit that many mobs. Perhaps up the number a bit, reducing the damage, by making the attacks...

One of the reasons I've been thinking about this was because of the many times in other threads warriors have lamented their lack of damage output.

These are blade DANCERs not blade SINGERs. Some difference in my mind. SINGERs might get songs/spells, DANCERs just get skills. Also, somethings I forgot: Change hitall to attempt hits on a level limited number of mobs... PClevel/4 for blade dancers, PClevel/5 for others. Maybe let blade dancers rip...

This is an idea that I've had for some time. A pure melee class, no auxiliary skills, no rescue, pure damage. Warriors are just there to take the brunt of things, if they could wear two shields they would. Think of bladedancers as rangers on amphetamines. When you think of a halfling blade dancer, t...
