  • The level cap at 75 is an interesting development. Back in MKO we had no level cap, but it became increasingly more insane to level. I think the highest someone got was about level 120. At level 100, you got access to the hall of worlds, and I belie…
  • The Celestine Ascendancy has rather absurd wealth differences, which would likely drive my character insane, and Scatterhome seems like a dubious place to fly a lightly armed trade caravan through repeatedly, so Song it is.

  • 1. We shall see, I am in about the same boat
    2. If this is going to be anything like MKO, if you have an interesting RP idea you should be able to find people to roleplay with you. In particular, I am generally happy to roleplay with anyone wit…
  • As I understand it, MKO went out of business because unlike every other IRE game, they had to pay royalties to a certain author, and eventually didn't have enough revenue to justify this expense. Otherwise, IRE is an expert at minimizing all other c…
  • I don't particularly like the idea of property taxes, myself, along with most types of upkeep. Having a rentable housing option would be cool, but I would like a way to just get a house somewhere where I don't have to pay anyone anything to keep it,…
  • (Quote) While that sounds kind of cool, honestly I would not end up using it myself, that sounds just too complicated for the rapid-fire emoting I often end up doing.
  • Aw... This would be a rather neat feature.
  • Warframe, Guild Wars 2, Dishonored, Civilization5, Total War, Magic the Gathering, and a bunch of the games over on tfgamessite.
  • Midkemia online had 3 hour days, I believe, and I think they were implemented to help out with vampires and the like. I took advantage of that to have a human significantly over 100 years old (I think he was a bit over 120 when the game shut down), …

  • It sounds more like the void kith removes energy and the light kith adds energy, sort of like the difference between subtractive and additive magic in the sword of truth series. But the Order and Chaos in the Saga of Recluse are not that far off the…
  • (Quote) I also play Warframe and Guild Wars 2, good games. I'm actually a clan master in warframe, with 8 other members in my clan.
  • I have played WoTmud, Aarchon, all of the IRE muds (though MKO was the only one I really got into), The Two Towers (extremely briefly), Star Wars Mud (extremely briefly), and another wheel of time mud (I think it was Shadows of the Prophecy, or some…
  • (Quote) Midkemia Online. Never got into any of the others, but loved Midkemia Online, played it for 8 years, with 3 alts worth mentioning.
  • Yeah, similar with Tenda, I will need to play the game and see how I like it before I vote for it. Currently IRE is 1 for 5 for me (tried 5 of their games, liked 1 of them).
  • @zacc
    As someone who did entirely manual PvP (with no filters or such), and focused on large group combat (I generally wouldn't show up alone except to defend …
  • Scripting was very dominant in Midkemia. You had an attack balance, a defense cooldown (for possibly avoiding attacks), a focus cooldown (for healing afflictions), an overdrive cooldown (for healing health), all of which would last a second or so (s…
  • MKO had preaching, fishing, exploring and most importantly, archaeology as ways of getting xp. There would be these caches of scrolls scattered around the world that would provide pretty good xp (a controversially high amount, as it often outpaced b…
  • A couple of my personal race suggestions were for a Vulcan-like race and a race obsessed with having a good time regardless of the consequences (those should be two separate races), and I still stick by those suggestions. I personally tend to go for…
  • I'd generally prefer a reasonable number of classes, with some way to later specialize in one thing or another (essentially the MKO method) as opposed to a myriad number of classes.
  • I saw a partial eclipse (about half an eclipse), sadly was unable to see the full eclipse.
  • Hybrids can still be done, traditionally you just choose one of the two races (generally whichever one raised you) and roleplay being of mixed parentage. It was generally done fairly well in Midkemia, and I remember about four hybrid characters (one…
  • (Quote) I actually really liked that part of Midkemia (though I think it was something like 10 years, I would still consider it to be in beta by the time it shut down as there was so much more planned for it), it made everything so much more …
  • I'm torn between nanoseer and engineer, myself.
  • I think I'll be some sort of crafter and researcher. The research would probably manage to be both esoteric and extremely dangerous. If I was going to engage in piracy, I would do so on someone else's ship, I'm not risking my own when I would be goi…
  • Elgan, cheerful but grudge-holding high-tech traders ftw.
  • Excited to get back into a mud. I used to play Midkemia Online, as some of you can probably tell by my username, but never really got attached to any of the others, especially since they made starting a character so difficult. Didn't realized just h…
