You mean like the yeti?

Specifically, the family of sprites belonging to poltergeists, wisps, and spectres normally have a few wandering sparkles surrounding them. When they take hits, though, it can get to be a lot more than a few of them. Let's observe: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1308/manascreenshot1.png Here we ...

659 (golden warlord) is definitely a usable item, and copies of it exist in the game, but only by being directly generated by administrative fiat. Is this enough to put it on the good side of rule 7?

If that lone mountain snake is meant to be a miniboss of sorts, why not use it as such? Have an NPC over there, and once you've registered at least one kill on the mountain snake (a la the bandit lord quest), the NPC will then be willing to let you try out the Intercontinental Ballistic Slingshot th...

That sounds more like a plausible race. Have you timed any benchmarks for how long the battle usually takes each way?

45/X/1/1/65/68 isn't going to let you take any hits lower than 20, and although it may be quick in between swings for large X, the critical edge with 68 isn't very high. Any amount of dexterity does nothing against Jack O except to add a small bit of damage to each hit that does connect, and with th...

If you're putting all your extra points into agility, how many points is that, and what are you taking from every hit?

Way to end the fight after about...3 hits.

And not in the good sense.

Using a rock knife to get vitality up to at least 100, somewhere in the level 70s you'll pick up the twenty-fifth point of autorecovery. This happens to be just enough to reliably withstand an assault from a lone Jack O without using up health items (at 24 points, usually you run out of HP and have ...

I had this proposal in a Court House case, but since no meaningful discussion happens there, let's see what kind of feedback it gets under open discussion. Is there any chance we could get one or more "honeypot accounts" added to the database, such that anyone who manages to log into one o...

Then what would happen if the invoker traded away enough money to a sockpuppet to get below 20,000, or--better yet--just signed out between now and then? "Sorry you've been waiting here for half an hour in anticipation. Show's over. Unless, of course, you want to wait just as long again to sett...

Is there any chance we could get one or more "honeypot accounts" added to the database, such that anyone who manages to log into one of those accounts earns an IP-wide block from logging in for some amount of time? It doesn't even have to be a very long period of time--maybe 1 hour just li...

On a related note, why are the per-round spawn notices implemented as NPC speech bubbles, rather than map-global broadcasts to 29-3? Right now you could be hammering away in the bottom half of the map and you won't be able to hear what the round number is, for no good reason. Heck, even the players ...

With group XP bonuses as high as they are, it's no wonder it's so prevalent. Imagine a group of just two clones controlled by the same input. Assuming they don't get into situations that would leave them overwhelmed, each monster takes half as long to kill...and both players get the same amount of X...

As I just noted, the armor is already strong enough in that regard, as long as you're willing to commit to using it in the fullest (which might involve using up stat points that might be otherwise served to allow you to attack faster, but stat limitations are the reason there are separate roles to b...
