Nope my ID on the forums is 6059, but thanks for asking

But would you guys rather updates all at once and call it "quarterly" or would you rather faster updates but in smaller releases? Lets take alook at what was recently "released".

1. diamonds now ~250 plat to shops
2. platinum coins now have a "reasonable" weight
3. updates graphics for various items
4. part of the mudlib changed to support additional updates
5. bomboria trade now becomes no-pk

This is just to name a few Maybe they should have been waited and released as an "official" quarterly update but this list is just as big as any other quarter update.

However, "update" simply means change and does not specify to change for the good or worse. So like it or not, you guys GOT your updates be happy that there's more to come with a quarterly update (unless this is it, then please label them as so).

Sorry, I ment Bomboria Trade Center!! :x I refer to the Trade Center as just Bomboria sometimes, most of the people on the server will end up there anyways if you tell them to go to Bomboria.

Ugh, no1 said Tig doesn't work hard enough Just asking where the quarter is. These little updates recently may well have been Q4 but there hasn't been any confirmation of that. And confirmation is needed for scheduled updates or else the expectation leads to confusion. Like so...

We need a pub in Middleton, that town is way cooler than Bomboria.

I'd honestly like to make more towns like that.

New towns seem more like a novelty - a novelty which lasts a few days, tops. That sort of novelty isn't worth the work. Instead, existing towns need intrinsic value - a reason to exist, and I think a lot of towns could benefit from some simple upgrades in that directions; quest areas, etc.

I prefer to the concept of a dungeon to a quest, even if the dungeon hosts some quest(s). Running around like a twit reminds me too much of WoW, and honestly that makes me cringe.

I agree, towns need more interesting content for players to interact with to give the town a purpose and a reason to visit. For most kingdoms it isn't an option to keep adding new towns to the islands and should improve the towns already on the islands.

Yes, I see an approach at making current towns much more useful. Currently we have shops that draw attention to players. Other then that the main reason to visit them is clothing and crafting items. I believe a few towns, Tan, San, Harmonia and Bogneria are used for questing. In Tan we have the Mushroom spoor trade, harmonia offers earings, san offers the occasional escort, and bogneria (or at least near) offers rabbit necklace charm.

I am not sure if this was intended but doesn't the NPC's looking for lords usually tell you were the lords are? Because I do not think this works fully if that was it's intent.

I think also, that the people looking for escorts were suspose to "track" them as well, or from what I gather from our previous manager Bjorn's website.

I would like to see an update that maybe addresses the questing system a little better. Currently people looking for escorts list were the escort spawned and not were the escort really is or at least it seems this way when you comb over the entire island and do not find it just to later find it elsewhere. Maybe add some new quests for new items?

The problem I see ever to often is people prefer to be lazy. They do not use the towns for crafting items themselves but rather buy the materials from others. Such as the mines, people prefer to use other methods of making money since these ways (fishing, minning, baking) are ever so slow. It kinda makes the enjoyment of these activity boring and repetative.

Bread should be updated as I see it unreasonable that high level mental people such as myself cannot bake such a simple peice of bread but rather unique breads determined on luck.
