Hi Again

edited October 2012 in North of Thera
Hello. After getting bored of another less popular MUD, I'm thinking about returning after a strong 4-5 year absence. But not before I ask a couple of questions first...

Are there any major changes I should know about besides the new classes Blademaster and Alchemist? Are House Icons still around?

I'm interested in both the Monk and Blademaster classes and I am leaning towards either Troll or Rajamala. I won't be buying many (if any) credits but I am still interested in PvP. Is there anything in particular I should know about how each build will affect bashing or any other source of gold? How steep is the learning curve as a Blademaster?

  • In response to a few questions about the last 3-4 years:
    Delphinus said:
    - The Blademaster class was introduced.
    - The Alchemist class was introduced, providing a non-forestal source of healing items. Forestal classes can only join Eleusis now, and alchemists can join any city but Eleusis.
    - Praying for salvation no longer costs additional XP.
    - Racial stats, bonuses, and penalties were overhauled. They've been largely replaced by a combination of racial specialisations (stat builds) and traits (perks/feats you can take every ten levels).
    - Theft via the force-command system has been removed. In its place, Serpents are now able to pickpocket gold and certain items from a person's inventory. This can also be done on NPCs.
    - Aligned classes are more closely aligned. Necromancers, forestals, devout, and occultists have all largely been pulled from cities that oppose them.
    - All of Sapience has been revealed, as well as most of the continent of Meropis. (See here)
    - More recently, simplified PK (PK with RP justification) replaced the old PK-cause system.
  • Thanks, I remember you. Also awesome map.

    Another question though...Are strength based monk builds still popular or other builds, such as int, viable?
  • Int monks are quite popular right now
  • To be fair though, strength based monks never go out of style.

    Nevermind.
  • Mhaldor now has a slightly different Theocracy. Ashaxei is dead. Sailing is now a thing. Islands exist far far across the waves.
