Your kill count goes to -100 after you win a deed so you actually have to leave a zone and return to repop deeds Virisin. Maybe you're thinking of the old system when it very first came in?

One thing I've seen in other games that I always kind of liked was a "fight timer". For 30 seconds after any initiation of combat, whether mob or PK you couldn't quit or recall. We could probably play around with this relatively easily.

Looks good. We should just run with that and if someone makes a new one we can swap it out later.

Can you guys upload PSDs (if you have them) when you guys submit a banner that way other people can take your work and try to run with it by using GIMP or Photoshop.

Guys,

We're getting a little sidetracked here. Let's not toss the baby out with the bath water. !Recall on an entire zone -- probably a horrible idea. But, the concept of zone wide deed affects has potential.

What are affects that we all think would be cool and balanced? How can we make this work?

A quick design note for you guys:

Banners should be at least 720px in width and should not exceed 90px in height ( some exceptions may be made ).
Banners should be high quality and we will be taking note of color schemes used in the banner art that complement the TMC color palette.
These banners will link to the mud's homepage, so those homepages should be reachable and in working order ( eg not a placeholder or bare website ).


The key parts are we need our banners to be 720px wide and 90px high in order to fit into Mudconnect. The darker theme looks like it'll work off the bat on the color scheme. I also think we need to submit banners that don't have watermarks otherwise we're watering down our brand.

Because that'd involve having the forum and the mud integrated in a far more intensive fashion which would probably take at least 4 - 10 hours of active development time (which is probably better spent elsewhere). 

I think we should look at upgrading the forum software as I know there's a lot of good SMF modules out there, or look at other Forum software altogether (most have SMF database import utilities) which would give us a lot more tools to put to use not just with regards to spam but with making the forum and community side of this more interesting.

If someone wants to make a banner using the logo, you can find the logo here:

You can make a banner easily using something such as GIMP http://www.gimp.org  or Photoshop's Free trial http://www.adobe.com


Here's a thread from a large scale ad network that serves banner ads on how to make an effective banner ad:

Unfortunately I'm out of time but if you google "game web banner" and click Images to go to Google Images you'll see a ton of great examples.


Good luck and feel free to hit me up in the game or on here if you need any further advice.

Finally this board is back to being used for lots of ideas. Guys don't argue over individual points yet let's focus on getting as many ideas out as possible with regards to deeds. Thanks Jaros and Toch

Roleplay / March 9-11th Weekend RP Reward

« on: March 09, 2012, 09:56:14 am »

Hey guys,

As most of you know I will be out of town this weekend and rarely if at all on the MUD. That said, I hear there's something interesting going on this weekend. Post your logs in this thread and along with the imms and a select RPL we'll select the winning roleplayer and distribute a very unique prize to them.


Remember you have several facets to roleplay by:

Your Clan
Your Race
Your Dimension
Your Backstory
Your relationships


And with that I've got to run. Enjoy!

Just have himelas/palathas/kellindil/temes/etc put you in his title. You'll practically be a recall statue.

Part of that list aren't even at the 10 year mark period, much less 10 active years. The players who've kept the game fresh should be rewarded alongside the oldies otherwise it's just ancient navel gazing. We should approach it from the dynamic of "what do we want to encourage?". What is the value we're trying to drive?
