How Beta is this MUD? I'm finding a lot of things seem to be unimplemented? Crafting and stuff? Shops? Starter gear? I can't even figure out where to get food or water or make monies. Crafting is not implemented. There are shops open, even player shops. And you start with starter gear, the references on the forums to starter gear not being implemented is referring to the guild specific starter outfits that players wrote up and submitted (I wrote the ones for callers.  ), which are all already built, but I believe may be waiting on the building of an opening shop, because the discussion about them on the forum referred to a starter gear store where you can buy other pieces from the written up starter items and/or trade the stuff you started with out, so that your guild isn't totally obvious. Food and water are both available in the market, and foods (that quench thirst in some cases) can also be foraged with ranger (I think with one of the roles, too). As to the money part, someone else will have to answer that. I know in theory there is money to be had, but I'm on my first pc, and specifically chose to make someone where that's outside my current realm of experience. |

I.. am stumbling around. Without shoes. And.. Coins. Coins.. everywhere. Individual coins.
Yep. I'm going to be a while before I will even think about attempting to RP with another living person.

And walking delays. I am going to need a book to read while walking around the market.

Hey Scarecrow! I just wanted to point out that Shadeofishan is -NOT- the black sands staff member Shade.
Also, to put a bit of clarity on the subject. We did debate how we wanted magic handled. And we did want it different to Arm. The problem is, the the most realistic, and reasonable reaction to having uncontrolled, dangerous magics is that people will be scared of it.
Magic on black-sands can be uncontrolled, deadly, sporadic, and powerful meaning it actually is dangerous to practice and use it in the city or anywhere near people. We want it to be less of a natural gift, and more of a dangerous barely controllable link between states of matter.
Lastly, this type of magic has mostly fallen out of knowledge and use as more acceptable, safer and more useful forms are taken up. Like druidic/nature magic, potioncrafting, runecrafting, spirit tattoos, and perhaps in the future even some faith based, divine magics. All powers that are not even touched upon by arm, and yet will be the main forms of magic found ICly when they are instituted.

You put a burning simple-wrapped, wooden torch into a coarse, hempcloth bag.
A coarse, hempcloth bag begins to smoulder and smoke.
Your burning coarse, hempcloth bag smolders and begins to grow hotter.
You get a burning simple-wrapped, wooden torch from a burning coarse, hempcloth
bag.
You stop using a burning coarse, hempcloth bag.
You drop a burning coarse, hempcloth bag.
A coarse, hempcloth bag crackles and ignites as the flames dance within it.
Flames arc out from within a coarse, hempcloth bag and consume it from the
inside out, sending smoke high into the air.
A coarse, hempcloth bag continues to burn, crackling and popping as it emits
heat and light.
A coarse, hempcloth bag gradually burns down into nothing but ash.
HP: 83/83 Sta: 91/91 Stn: 113/84

You think:
"Well that wasn't what I meant to do.."
I'm really very bad at this game.

I'm really very bad at this game. Or you're very good, that was hilarious and almost made me choke to death on my pot pie. |

I've created a character on Black Sands and played a little. While I wouldn't call it a clone, I would say it does share a lot. I see it as a different spin on the same type of game. Even if it was a clone, I don't consider that a horrible thing. All good ideas are copied and adapted. Its not like Armageddon has some kind of patent.

It's closer to this other MUD I played, code wise at least. The walk pace, voice string, setting combat, shop listings and mechanics, money mechanics, two-handed inventory system, skill system, etc. WTF was it called.. Para.. ParaMud?

), which are all already built, but I believe may be waiting on the building of an opening shop, because the discussion about them on the forum referred to a starter gear store where you can buy other pieces from the written up starter items and/or trade the stuff you started with out, so that your guild isn't totally obvious. Food and water are both available in the market, and foods (that quench thirst in some cases) can also be foraged with ranger (I think with one of the roles, too). As to the money part, someone else will have to answer that. I know in theory there is money to be had, but I'm on my first pc, and specifically chose to make someone where that's outside my current realm of experience. 
But seriously.
