Thanks! I got fooled by the message into thinking I had some kind of non-working helmet

Thanks a lot for the informations

So that means that any magic weapons I find are basically as good as the normal weapons that I could get from any shop (except the fact that they sound cool), right?

Hello!

I'm not sure this is 100% reproducable, doing so 2 times was more than enough for me:

If I start fighting a monster and then, during the fight, start running backwards (e.g. because it turns out it's beating the crap out of me and I don't want to waste time on turning around), I fall off the edge of the world and die, after... uh... if I had to approximate, I'd say it's about 5-10 meters (assuming a dwarf is about 1-1.5 meters high).

Btw. would it be possible to not be transported to the realm of death after falling off the edge of the world, but some safe location instead? Even Hanquist would be better, would at least save the trouble of running through the whole rod...

Hello everybody!

I haven't been able to find an anwser to this in the forums or in the guide, so here goes:

1) How do I increase my mana regeneration? I dimly recall that it was possible to increase HP regeneration by training body development (I used to play half a year ago or so), so is there something similiar for mana?

2) What is it with the realms? In the spell book, there is a "realm" listed for every spell...

3) Would it make sense for me to get more than one glyph of the same kind? Can I combine two of the same glyphs?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I think those are not matters that can\'t be resolved.

First, telepathy tends to get confused with magic, but it doesn\'t need to be. It doesn\'t imply the ability to read the opposite\'s mind, either (though the two are often confused with each other - the ability to read somebody else\'s feelings is called empathy). Telepathy is seen as the ability to simply convey a message or a feeling over a great distance to somebody you are mentally close to. It can be seen as a property of the soul/mind, as different from magic as the ability to command your body to move.

Perhaps you could read up on ESP (Extra-sensory perception). It is a group of phenomena in our real world, including, but not limited to, forms of telepathy, that bear no resmeblence whatsoever to the kind of magic presented in PS or other RPGs. (Side note: if somebody is going to attack me for bringing up such \"nonsense\", be prepared that I won\'t claim that ESP does exist - I don\'t know if it does - but I can show that claiming that it definitely doesn\'t exist has no scientific grounds).

Concentration is a point, but what stops the devs from blocking /tells whithin, say, 15 seconds of the last hit taken/dealt?

(edit: inserted wiki-link to telepathy and added empathy)

Seytra, I think we can drop the /tell-RPing-acceptable vs /tell-RPing-non-acceptable thing - from what I\'ve seen we\'re building on two approaches so different that we\'ve reached a dead end. While I compare the loss I have from people /tell-RPing to the loss I\'d have if they were not there at all, reaching the conclusion that I\'m taking no greater loss from them /tell-RPing and that they may go on then, you compare your loss from /tell-RP with the optimum case, which is /say-RP - and thus you reach the conclusion that you do have a loss in RP. Both conclusions are fully correct, the difference just being that I take the worst case and you take the best case as point of comparison. I\'m not one to judge which approach is better, so I guess we should just walk away with the other\'s arguments in mind and out own position kept.

There is, though, one thing that comes into mind: Why do we have /tell at all? The MMORPGs I remember most fondly are such without this feature, and I don\'t remember ever using it (except for ooc stuff in PS). Or is there anything I missed that would be hurt by taking away /tell? By the way, this might well hurt PLs, as it\'s probobaly more boring to bash NPCs while having noone to talk to than bashing NPCs and chatting with your friends.

As for your suggestion with setting your attributes/skills yourself - I dunno. Why don\'t we just go to IRC and do some pseudo-P&P-roleplay there? I mean, part of the fun in such an MMORPG is, imho, the fact that there are skills, that not everybody is equal, but that some have more skills and some less. And the fact that, if you don\'t do some work on your skills, you\'ll just stay weak. If you do work on your skills though, you can be proud of being the warrior who saves his comrades in need. Personally, I never had a highly-skilled char (though I was in most cases believed to be powerful), I preferred spending my time with RP. And I greatly enjoyed the fact that there were people with lots of hard-earned battle skills.

Now what you suggest would pretty much destroy all this. Most people would just set their skills to max and say \"Oh, well, but I don\'t use them, it\'s just in case...\". There\'s a reason why practically all RPGs have a ruleset that limits your skills and doesn\'t let you start with them maxed out, and that reason is... human nature.


I hope at least some of this made sense, as I\'m horribly tired.
