first i think bow users should not be able to fire arrows in close range combat.that makes no sense and is absolutely impossible.
anyone ever played daoc?
if you wear a chain armour than piercing arrows make more damage,if you wear a magerobe than slash tips make more damage.if you have the right arrow and you make a critical than you can kill chars with low hp like mages in a single shot.
but once you are infight you are practically lost.
that way a bow user can do vast damage,as he should be able to,but he always has to avoid getting to close.
only thing in daoc i didnt like was that scouts could stun you with their shield for 8 seconds.
so they took out their bow and fired another critical at you.
no chance to beat them.
so make them killer at long range,let them suck in closecombat.
that is more or less all i would like to see.
the rest i will just let the devs surprise me^^

name : morgrob

race : ylien

alignment : tends to neutral good,a usually kind person,simple for the way he spent his life up until now.

background : lost his family under dark circumstances he can only remember sometimes in his dreams.got adopted and ran away.
he got taught the basics of the red and azure way,and is far from having them mastered.

weapons : none

strength : knows some red and azure magic.due to his youth on the farm he is quiet strong but doesn?t tend to use his strength.

weaknesses : he likes to communicate but is normally suspicious of strangers.once he thinks he got to know them though,he is far to confident.he has a need to find friends and share his thoughts and time with them which can be easily used against him.that may change as he grows older.

thanks lynx,for giving me hope;)

(yeah,take your big foot and step right on me.)

who knows? there are still miracles.

HALLELUJA   *G*

crafting that requires grouping.wow.
that actually sounds good.you would not maybe be able tp give a little hint,although you haven?t totally figured that out yet?

most mmorpg?s could have been good for rp.
but then people decided thats its kewler to just kill everything,sell the loot and level up.
me for my part,yes i will have a pure merchants char.
and when you get wounded in that `wartorn`city,then i will be there to sell you bandages:)
for the fighting,its not the same as hackn slash.
you can fight doing rp or you can just kill all in sight.
if you think the g is the most important letter,then you can play any game.
you still want to play ps?cool with me.
but when one day we meet ingame,and i try to sell you some wares,please don?t tell me you dont have cash cauze u just bought that uber weapon and that your off to kick some azz now.
thats all i ask for

Morgrob would have a bet a goldcoin,if he had one,that he would not be able to close an eye after the talk he had with aurego.

But for the first time in weeks,hurling up in his chair by the warm glooming fire,he found dreamless rest.

When he wole up aurego was already outside,chopping some small woodpieces for the fire.
Morgrob rubbed his eyes.

*Good morning aurelo.wait i will be outside in a moment to help you.

*Nah ,no need for that.i am not an old man yet.you slept like a bear in winter.seemed to have needed it.
After braekfast we will talk.

So aurelo came in,lighting the fire again while morgrob set up the table with a loaf of bread and some honey.

They sat down opposite to each other.

*So morgrob.you want to know what you can do about your abilities.how to control them.you want to know about magic?

*Yes.can you give me answers?

Aurelo pointed at a stash of scrolls and books in the corner of the room.

*They will.when you have read them all,your mind will be full with riddles.but to get an answer you first have to know the question.read them,then ask.

It took morgrob weeks to read the books,for he had never had the necesitty to read.his skills improved with time though.
After two weeks aurelo told him he would leave for a week,and asked morgrob to stay and look after the house.
When he came back he came with a little wagon,pulled by a donkey,with corn and two porks on it.

*I am not alone anymore and you are a farmer,so i thought it was time to raise the standards.

They both smiled and morgrob began the same day to set up a little stable and a field for the crops.

When he had finished the last book,he walked up to aurelo who was sitting on his porch again and sat down on the floor beside him.

*I have finished reading.i have learned a lot about the different schools of magic.but i still dont know how to control them.

*Your destiny seemed to have forseen the red way for you.mine is the wy of the azure,which in a way is not so different in the start.
For both you need a strong will,in order to control the power within you.

*Can i learn the way of the azure too?

*First you have to learn to control the fire burning within you.Then,maybe,you can learn other schools too.

*Will you be able to show me the red way?

*Yes and no,i can teach you to handle it but now how to become a master of it.that is beyond my possibilities.

*That would be more then enough.

*But then,why bother?
Maybe you are just a useless farmer boy after all.
You have done what i needed you for.you have set up the fields and the stable.
You have helped me for a while,now i have no more use for you.
I will stop waisting my time with you.i have shared the knowledge of the books,is that not enough?

*But aurelo....how can ou say that?why?I am not useless.
You hear me?
I AM NOT JUST A BOY!!!!!!

*Just as i though.calm down.you are not able to control yourselve over a mean comment.how do you want to control powers beyond your comprehension?
Ahh,i see we have a long road ahead of us.

*You mean you were just trying me?

*Hehe,well not for too long though.i like it warm,but i prefer to watch the fire from a safe distance,hehe.

During the next weeks aurelo taught morgrob how to control himself.and after that he told him how to control the powers he had within.
Although morgrob seemed to be more interested in the azure way,which didn?t bother aurelo at all.

They stayed in the cabin for about a year.Aurelo taught morgrob a lot,but not all he knew it seemed.
Sometimes he would stop in the middle of a sentence,as if he was afraid of revealing something secret.
Then,one day when they got up in the morning...

*It is a fine day outside morgrob.the grass is green,the sun is shining.
Very nice day for a walk,a long walk i?d say.
I will miss our conversations.

*Are you gone for another travel?

*No,not me,you.
I have taught you all you need to know for now.
Life will teach you what is important now.
Maybe one day when you found yourselve a place,when you know your meaning in life,you will be able to pick up your studies again.

*But there is so much more,why don?t you teach me all you know?

*If you fill a cup with water and you pour to much in it,in will flow over the edge.
Your mind is still a small cup.
Time and experience will make it grow,so one day you can start pouring in again.
I am not for long goodbyes,and you always meet twice in life,so lets make it quick.
I will check the stables,pack your stuff and begone,before i get miserable.

Morgrob looked at the old man.it seemed the friendliest face he had seen in life,he did not want to leave but knew aurelo had made up his mind.

*Go to hydlaa,there you will be best off.

With that he turned around and went out.
Morgrob stood in the middle of the room for another minute,thinking of a way to stay.
But there was none.time had come to leave.
He packed his belongings,which didn?t take him all too much time and headed out the door.

*For hydlaa it will be then.let?s hope it is a nice place.......

hmm yes.thats more or less what i said it to be:)

and if everybody is beeing completely selfish,what does that lead too?
