I appreciate your thoughts. You make very good points. Imho, sometimes players simply don't think about newbies as they are rushing to level up. Once they start helping and interacting more with newbies I hope some will get into doing it more often. The point isn't about cheating. Let the cheats hav...

I really think that swine flu is a disease that hasn't yet hit it's stride. Let me explain. Swine flu is a brand new form of flu. The last new form of flu virus was created in 1917, in World War 1. That 1917 is actually the same basic virus that we call flu today. Originally, the 1917 virus became a...

A DDOS attack sounds serious. This has been a problem for several days now and is likely to continue. What are the developers doing to deal with the attack? I just want to thank the developers for their work in keeping TMW going.

Great help, Jaxad. I loaded MacOS x29.1 and have chuchu. Success at last!
Wow, the new version is so much better than 28, you get my rave review. It seems so much more refined and user friendly. You have obviously put alot of thought into improving tmw. It really shows.

Thanks again

Thank you for the link. The http://themanaworld.org/downloads.php page needs to be updated with this latest release. I tried the forward and back on the select character screen. I get "chuchu" showing up as the only character in version 28 on the mac. I get "sleet" , a new charac...

To start the ball rolling, here is one idea to kick around: Rewards are a good way to encourage a positive response. Benign self -interest is another form of altruism. We can foster a new class of helper players who work towards getting some sort of a merit badge. This could even turn into a merit q...

The purpose of this thread is to share ideas on how to encourage altruistic play. There has been alot of talk and some threads about helping newbie players and sharing items and quests, to make TMW a positive fun place and to encourage good play. Conversely, there has also been discussion about gree...

Thank you for responding , Trapdoor. At this time MacOS x package 0.0.29 is the current release on the downloads page. I will keep checking it daily until the 29.1 dmg version arrives. I have another related concern. I tried to play version 29.1 on a windows os computer. I cannot get my main charact...

I found this response by trapdoor to a similar question: "You will need Xcode which is available free from the Apple Developer website. You will need all the dependencies as listed on the wiki to build. Patch the files, then Open up the .xcodeproj file from git, and click Build and Go. This wil...

Can you help me complete my compiling of 29.1? I am loading the dependency files.
I am stuck trying to get a version of physfs ready for mac.

I am sorry to hear that even if I eventually succeed in loading 29 I may still experience alot of crashes. Do you have any suggestions for me?

I tried to upgrade to version 29 from 28 on my mac. I first deleted version 28 and then loaded v29 for osx. My character doesn't load. I tried to use the library application support files from version 28. My character was now available but every time I try to pick up an item the game crashes. I trie...
