if it\'s because my character needs moving, a new character should work fine, right?
I\'ll try that now...

I like this. We all know the NPC\'s need revision in this area,and this seems like a simple idea. One question, what\'s the bandwidth consumption like?

thanks man, I was getting 0411AC3B, So I won\'t worry about moving without first trying he file i was missing.
EDIT: Copyed that in, still getting the error, just after the \"Loading World\" message apears. If it helps, heloading bar doesn\'t seem to fill, either. I\'m running windows, xp.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Updater failure
« on: March 21, 2006, 08:25:18 am »
My updater told me it failed to load the following file: libmng-cs.dll
can you link me to the file and tell me where it has to go?
I\'ve also been getting an acess violation error just as soonas I load the game, would the above missing file do this? or does my char. need moving?

Yes, actualy I\'ll agree with you. I am afraid this may turn into just an MMO, becuase wen version 1.0 is released, there\'ll probably be a huge influx of players, and most of them will be the \"let\'s go bash things and level\" kind. But I also think ageing would be cool.

again zanzibar, you said convieniant It\'s not suposed to be conveiniant, and their would be spells and potions aviilable to alter your apearence cometicly, and to reverse the efects of ageing, or revert them to an earlyer ageing stage 9potions of youth).
and you said that its designed to eliminate powerful characters? not realy, I think I\'ve badly stated that. It\'s designed to eliminate super-powerful characters. characters that have got to the point that they wipe out villages without breaking a sweat. this system stops characters getting that big.

My evil idea (for evily-oriented characters)
Name: Morknian Banishment
Way: Dark,
requires a special item as a catalyst that requires extensive quests, enchanting and finaly a difficult crafting to froge. Normaly an amulit.
Glyphs: Undecided. Very special ones only used in this spell. 4 total.
It would be incredibly hard to get the required glyphs as they would be scattered throughout the far reachers of the world (maybe the final key one in the DR itself).
Duration: Instintanious
Range: see notes
Side effects: see notes
Manna cost: All
Damage: See notes
Effects: After a sucessfull banishing, the caster could collect part of the banised player\'s soul. This could be assosiated to another quest requiring the player to do a favour for death, and collect a certin number of souls, or be punished for his evil deeds. (Death want\'s in on the evil action). And the slaying of sutch an evil character in an honorable duel could be used as a roleplay device. a very good one.
Banishment involves the character (or caster0 effected to be sent to the deepest, darkest part of the Death relm, a super-hard place to escape (prods developers: [whispered] I\'m counting on you to make a special place for these guys...]).
Notes: Theres a slight catch. After all that effort, there\'s a 15% chance it backfires because something escapes you\'re attention. You banish yourself.
This spell can be cast with only a few glyphs, with varying effects:
1 glyph: 50% of targets HP damage, touch range
2 glyphs: 50% of targets HP damage, ranged
3 glyphs: Banishment, touch range
All Glyphs: Banishment, ranged
This spell can only be cast on players during a duel.

think about the mysterious characters of fantasy. gandalf the grey is a good example; he has magicly cheated death, but he doen\'t look like a sprite young man, now does he?
i\'ve edited my post with the apropriate stages now. the actual translation of playing time to game time will require time and effort from the developers, myself, and karyuu (chose them as the For, agaisnt and the people who know the game) IF it\'s decided to be implemented (pleasepleasepleaseplease)
EDIT: \"with age comes wisdom\" to a certin extent. maybe veneralbe could have certin penalties, but eldar and old should keep their bonuses)

That seems to be a by-product. What I am proposeing is a system where a character slowly ages, and eventualy dies. when he dies of old age, \"Death\" (or wahtever) would prefer to keep him dead, as his time has come, and the character is taken to a very specal section of the death realm, that requires either a reserrection, or a compleation of a series of dificult quests/riddles to go back into the overworld to continue life for another lifetime (this doesn\'t mean the character resets to a young boy/girl but continues on as an old man/women with an extended lifespan). The penalty for coming back to this world would be a loss of stats (normal race + 10-20%) and a low loss of skills (10-20 % loss).
The ageing would be divided as follows:
Adolessense (16-19 human, 90-100 elf, 35-40 dwarf, 400-450 rock giant thingy): -3 on inteligence and wisdom, but a +2 on strength, Aglity, and Endurance
Young Adulthood(20-27 human, 100-120 elf, 40-45 dwarf, 450-490 rock giant thingy): -1 on intelligence and wisdom, other modifiers remain
Adult(28-50 human, 120-155 elf, 46-60 dwarf, 491-511 rock giant thingy): everything evens out to normal. longest time
Old age(51-59 human, 156-160 elf, 61-70 dwarf, 512-530 rock giant thingy): +2 on inteligence and wisdom, -2 on Strength, agility and endurance
Eldar(60-65 human, 161-173 elf, 71-80 dwarf, 531-570 rock giant thingy): +4 on intelligence and wisdom, -5 on Strength, agility and Endurance
Venerable(65-death human, 174-death elf, 81-death dwarf, 571-death rock giant thingy : + 8 on inteligence and wisdom, -15 on strength and agility, - 18 on endurance
Death: death occours at a random time after the begining of the venerable stage. minium 10% of inital age (eg, minimum 1.6 years ino vereability for a human, ect.)
when the charcter comes back from the DR, the aperance remains the same, but young adult and adolessense are abolished, instead the character has an extended adulthood.
Good?

yeah that would be good... you could cast the spell at the lower levels if you only had some of the required glyphs/materials, but with them all, Banishment at range! and it\'s not quite a kill, more a banishment tothe deepest hole in the DR. semi-eternal damnation.
You could also have special weapons that could do this on a rare hit! (something similar to a critical hit).
try this out:
\"Soul Rippers\"
a mysterious race once forged evil weapons that no-one now knows about, save story tales. In such tales, it is said that victims of these weapons sometimes had thier very essance stripped, banishing them to the darkest, deepest depths of the underworld...
Edit: and, like the spell, the weapons would have a chance to turn on ou, increased slowly with use.
\"what happened to nagsa, the evil mage?\"
\"His own greed for power consumed him, and his pell (or weapon) turned on him, banishing himself instead\"
I reckon this\'d be great for Rping purpses, and amusing If you acidentaly banished yourself

overlooked that... maybe just a significant loss of stats (race normal + 10%) and a less significant loss to jobs, magical ad combat skills (say 30% loss). but we agree that the actual AGEING side is good? we seem to be concentrating on death alot here...
