HOLY SHIT THAT THIRD POST IS EPIC.

[Blaze]

Well, despite knowing this I'm still going to keep playing. I am a bad person and I should feel bad.

[AussieGuy]

Its a fun game, I used to play. Theres lots of other things to do other than combat as well, like trading, riding dragons and being on ships. Also,the DIKU mud thing is where Vryce (the creator) apparently used the code but does not mention it and gets money for it. I say don't worry about it.

This is what he eventually wants to do:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What will Medievia V be like?

Medievia V is being designed to handle multiple continents on multiple servers. This will allow 250,000+ players to play the game at the same time. Clans can have clanships which they can use to journey to other lands, trade, and attack.

The new MobFaction, HoloDetail, HoloMob, and HoloRoomAction modules will allow the following: Mob factions and races that unite and battle each other for control of land and zones. This is not Trading Mob Factions that we introduced in the last version. These mobs will possibly surround a zone and be very aggressive. Mob factions and certain races will be natural enemies that when they cross land ownership, battle it out in huge 100 room wide battle fronts. These fronts will be visible via Storm elementals(weather command), when flying over them and when walking near them. Clans will be able to side with or against every race and faction. Clan points can be had by fighting in a front with the mobs you have united with.

"BUT WAIT! That sounds interesting and sounds like a very challenging module, but, what will it mean to me?"

I am glad you asked! Imagine someone telling you that a very LARGE group of demons landed on the east coast and have been heading straight for the City of Medievia. They have not been stopped by any other mob faction or race and are growing in numbers. They should reach Medievia tommorrow. There is a rumor a few clans are actually helping them. What to do! Unite and defeat this menace? Let them take over the city for a few weeks? Can the players of Medievia unite to a common cause? What about the dammed trolls that have taken over tear for the last month? A few months ago the fairies almost became annihilated as they finally destroyed their arch enemy the legion of vampires. Medievia 4.0 was just the building blocks towards a living breathing world in which the players participate and live in. We have our own time line, it is year 536 in Medievia. What will your character do in the upcoming years to affect Medievia? What will your clan do? Medievia is its players, all future versions will support that.

And of course plenty of smaller changes. I dare say the Medievia code is actually different in one way or another every day of every year, forever.

Long live Medievia! Our goal is 50,000 players online during prime time. Tell your friends what they are missing! Medievia needs them and they need Medievia!

-Vryce, Father of Medievia

I could swear there was a post about this a year ago...hmm.
I shall restart this, never actually got far.

[quinnr]

Wooo. Features list is epic. A giant 37 room big slug that is controllable by a hero? FFFFFF. Why didn't I get addicted to this before?

[Alehkhs]

Shit... I was avoiding getting back into HellMOO; and this sounds just epic enough to pull me over.

Quick question though, is it free-to-play? I hear these issues with the DIKU code, so I am wondering if there is a subscription, unbalanced micro-trans or something similar?

[Hugehead]

I think it's 100% free.

[Alehkhs]

Does that slug happen to live in the desert? And can you make human-proximity sensitive knives from one of its crystalline teeth...?

Also; will eating its shit make me capable of conceptualizing the space-time continuum?

[rawr359]

My interest is piqued.

[Cheese]

I shall try this. So are we going to gather and build up money to afford a clan or something?

[Blaze]

Hopefully, but reading "Help clan" will show you just how much it takes. It ain't pretty.

If you find me, I'll try and help you as much as I can.
Type in "Player Zarikor" to see if I'm online and type "Link Zarikor" to tell me you're online.

Type in "Link" to enter Medlink then type "tele Zarikor <message>"

HOLY SHIT THAT THIRD POST IS EPIC.

It'd be even more epic if I could remember all the shout messages. Like during our PK ship battle.
"RED ALERT, RED ALERT, SHIELDS UP WEAPONS ONLINE!!!"
"AWOOOOOO GA! AWOOOOOO GA!"
"INCOMING FIRE FROM OUT PORT SIDE, PROTECT YOUR POOPERS!"
"EVASIVE MANEUVERS!"
"I CAN'T DIE HERE! I HAVE LAKERS TICKETS!"
"I NEED MORE POWER TO THE ENGINES!" (Signal to cast the ship speed boost spell)
"RAMMING SPEED! PREPARE TO RAPPEL BORDERS!"

And so on.

A part of me (quite a large part to be honest) is turned off by the idea of donations for in game items/perks.

[AussieGuy]

I remeber this was actually my first mud which i played about 3 years ago. Good times I had.

Dont worry, its only needed if you want to be the best of the best in PvP when your a high level

[Cheese]

Holy crap, this is engrossing. I signed up as drakestone, a mage. A firestorm just started over the guild, I'm amazed. I've never really stuck to an MUD before, but this may just do it for me.

So that's why you've been taking so long to level .
You'll just have to pester them every 5-10 minutes or so.

I don't really like it either, but on the bright side, you're highly unlikely to meet anyone who has any donation equipment unless they've been playing for several years, unless they're the kind of people who are flush with money.
