The \"runes\" mentioned in the legends can also be played up.  Each rune unleashes certain power, channelled by the experienced mind.  On the other hand, unexperienced minds can wreak havoc on themselves and their friends through the reckless use of runes.

In any case, the majority of powers should be intangible:  protection, luck, communication with deity to gain experience, a zone where nothing spawns, etc.

Would it be a good idea to have a client-side word expansion table?  If it expanded your messages automatically, then fewer people would get annoyed at you.  (And certain commands could be abbreviated...)  On the other hand, it could expand common abbreviations that you hear from others, reducing your own frustration level.

Nobody does.  There are perhaps a handful of people in the world who can translate it into contemporary German, and even fewer who can make it intelligible to contemporary English speakers.  What you really mean is \"Modern English\" (the language of Shakespeare and the KJV Bible) or \"Middle English\" (the language of medieval times, before the Norman conquest).

Who says a map of the tunnels need be complete or even accurate?  ;)

Surely, the large hunting families would have been exploring long enough to pass something on to the next generation.  However, they would never consider leaking such information to their competitors...

I probably should have looked for this thread first...

Anyway, what would you call Ergonomic?  Certainly not 3d, but not a scroller, either.  But hey, it\'s free!

Link?! Using incorrect grammer!? Look who needs to go to grammer school now!


Now if you want to be technical, even \"yourself\" is incorrect in modern English.  Contemporary English has corrupted the second-person plural pronouns to include singular meanings, but that\'s just because we got carried away with the whole \"royal we\" garbage.

Honestly, I doubt anyone will really mind if odd stuff happens in this release.  We just want something we can use, ASAP! :))

In the long term, though, you probably want an animation to let the Kran and other tall characters stoop down through short doors.  However, I doubt any Kran would ever fit through a door made for a Dwarf, so we may just have to live with such obstacles.

The bigger problem will be when a character is too tall for the ceiling...
