ok someone else reported a problem too, this might have been because of the quiz olympics... we will correct is as soon as possible.

Ok thx we will correct it! But no worries, it really doesn't make much difference if you have 1 or 71

We are launching a new world in the Doomlord fantasy online game very soon, on 17th of May, 14pm CET (8am EST). You can already register for it. World 4 runs with triple speed (you gain SE, you rest, regenerate 3 times faster, you can attack 3 times more etc), but it's not more expensive, because you get 2,5 times more ancient stones for the same price!
This world has some special rules, which you find under the W4 info menu.
The game lasts until a clan fulfills the victory condition. The members of the winning clan, and players who are best in individual categories get reward for their other character (on another world, registered with the same email). The reward is a special medal and ancient stones.
When world 4 ends, players can transfer their remaining ancient stones their other character on another world, or they can transfer it to the next world 4.
To register, choose registration, and click world 4.
You can find additional information on the forum, here.

Sure, we will give it back, please give the info to the GM in email, with details as world, clan name, and lost SE and she will load it back to your soul-well!

Btw it is supposedly corrected now, so you wont get shots from tomorrow...

The wars are suspended for the event's duration, thats why you can't continue it.
However, the CC should not use the citadel during this period. I forwarded to the programmer to correct this, thanks for the notice.

Sorry for the problem... I talked to the programmer, and he explained me the "magic trick" to get it work again, it runs now correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will extend the olympics by 1 day. He will also check tomorrow those who had problem with "undefined" and such, so these people can re-do the olympics tomorrow. Please send your world and character name to the customer service (info () doomlord dot net) and explain the problem and you will get help.

Good idea, Cruel, the problem is that with your suggestion, teams would be hindered by weak players. Actually, not the team with the best players would win, but the team with the most weak/inactive players would lose... I also considered subtracting losses from a team's score, but that way, the small team would get a lot of attacks, and would lose a lot of points as well. Also not very fair. In a player vs player game, it is quite hard to set up an absolute system which favors everyone. Precisely that's why the major reward is based on individual performance, and the winning team gets only a small extra. Their reward is rather the glory itself...

The crystal clones are not getting stronger, but frequently they are being "recloned", if you get stronger, your clone gets stronger too. Yes, they are not clan members, an approix. building bonus is simply added to their stats.

Using the win/loss ratio or some more obscure figure would have the same problems. Even so, it could be more easily exploited.
Right now, if you feel the other team has an advantage, you can simply desert to that team, so everyone has a fair chance to win!
The only way to make it more even would have been to distribute players evenly and randomly between the teams. But then activity and relative power of the players would have been the deciding factor, and then players couldn't choose.

But, if you have any suggestions to how to improve the event next time, we are open to it! For example, maybe it would be a good idea to remove duel points at the beginning of the event (and give them back at the end) so everyone has only the normal DP regeneration, it gives more room for tactics. Like, right now, when people use up a lot of DP in the early days, and give a heavy edge to their team, changing teams can't change that much.

The registration is open here as well, the event runs parallel on every world!

There is no "entry fee", you are free to register for the event. have fun!

Please note, if you have spelling/grammatical/typo errors, it's not a big deal, you can simply correct the question and resubmit it, you do not lose anything!

The programming of the event proceeds well, it will be ready for launch soon!

Referring to your latest questions:
Creative affinity and other bonuses do not apply to the event SE. You get a fix amount, see the figure above. Nor does your XP gets modified by anything.
Of course, you get AA points for the XP you get. Fatigue and other duel restrictions apply, so you cant duel 100 times in a row or something like that. And yes, huckster and normal duels count the same for these purposes. If both of you are in the event, you can only event duel. If one of you is not in the event, you can only normal duel.

When you log in, you have the opportunity to renew premium membership. Even if it is expired, if you renew it before spending Apts / Dpts you wont lose them!

We added a new button to the game options (to the left, on the bottom), Relics. Through this button you can reach a new page with Lady Alvariel's relics and familiars. This was an earlier promotion from the original servers, which we made accessible to the international server now. Here, you can purchase some unique artifacts and pets for your character in the Doomlord fantasy online game.

Yes, the reason for cloing players to crystal members is to give additional targets. These CH will not attack, and they will not have a clan which you can declare war upon.
If you dont join the event, you can still attack people who participate in the event by the normal duel rules.
The relics are the same as from the map event, Stekkos. If you have a gold trader item then choose something else here because they wont stack (thats why we have more items here so you have plenty to choose from).

To clarify things, I give you the EXACT figure for the SE and XP reward during the event:
Winner of a duel gets FIX SE and XP, depending on the defeated players level:
SE: ( level * 39,67 ) * (0,5 + EH * 0,015). If the winner is member of the diamond clan, he/she gets +5% bonus
XP: (2+level)*0,273.
So the only things which modify the SE are level, EH skill, and diamond clan bonus.
The defeated player does not lose any SE.
Some explanation of the figure:
Since everyone have to do a hunt to be able to do a duel, the goal was that players with either disadvanced dev. and energy harness get roughly the same average SE/XP ratio from the total of 1 hunt and 1 duel. That's what the above figure fulfills.

Another addition: invisible hunts will give only 0,5 event point.

We will begin the programming next week, hopefully we are done with it and testing in 2-3 weeks, and thats when you can sign up for the event.

A very clever observation. This effect is not intended. The purpose of the game is that you can play all the time, use up resources freely, and sometimes the monotony gets broken by an interesting event. But yes, as things stand now, many events encourage players to save up resources. We let people use up these saved up resources for several reasons:

1.) If you already have a lot of Apts and Dpts saved up, it means the game's pace is a little faster than you are comfortable with. That is, very likely you are never going to use them up, and it makes you feel that you "lose" something. With events, players have a chance to "catch up", to use up these leftovers.
2.) Often, events require a specific number of actions. Even with careful planning, it's hard to tell how much resource will a player spend (and have available). Allowing them to use up saved up respts is a way to ensure that anyone who wishes can achieve the maximum reward.
3.) Limiting resources only to that the player acquires during the event would conradict a bit with the current game mechanics, would make both rules and programming more difficult. So we allow this to keep things simple.
4.) Lower level players have less APt and DPt regen per day, because they do not have the skills which increase these regens. Allowing them to stock up gives them a better chance.

But, the problem is, that this leads to people some sitting on 7-800 Apts all the time, to make sure they stay competitive in the upcoming events. I am no sure that this is a real problem, but nonetheless, if you have any good suggestion how to change this - without making the system more complicated - I'm looking forward to it.

The Alchemy Labor - when your clan will build it - will be a very similar thing to the brewery you suggested. Squeezed animals will drop essences, which can be used to boost skills and give other potion-like effects.

Pet bazaar: As ImLittleJon says, transferring resources can be a bad thing. However. We are running a semi-promo event on the Hun servers, called Relics. Soon we will give access to it on the English servers as well, where you can buy a few special pets too. I know its not like a full pet bazaar, but thats what we have now...

Temple: I do not see the difference between this and other buildings which already give stat bonuses...

Sorry about the quiz olympics! We have rewritten the complete system, so people cannot use scripts to cheat. We tested it on the Hun servers and it works now, it will transfer to the Eng servers very soon!

Well, there IS a way to credit back a question to a player if it is proved that his/her perfect question was rejected! The exact same way if you have any other complaint / need for correction - write an email to the GM! She have the permission for this like for many other things. Also, our head quiz admin, Hatsepsut, has this privilege as well, you can contact her directly, or any evaluator can forward her such a request (and I know she does it when necessary).


Surely you feel this is a contradiction as we are talking here right now But as I said, collecting and forwarding ideas from the forum is the primary job of Kethios, I can't read all the posts. So if you think he is slacking, start chewing on him

well, either way, players would buy the same items they can buy from the huckster - the difference would be only that they could buy cheaper. So if someone wants to cheat, he does not buy directly from the huckster, but his "slave" character buys it - and then he buys it from his "slave", thus saving SE. No trade system can prevent cheating. Trade systems work only in non-competitive games, where transferring goods in any ratio is allowed and do not hurt the game.

No decision on that yet, prolly we will do another, new event first (War of the hucksters).

I never said that the game is perfect... Every game can be improved for an eternity. My job is to spot good suggestions and have them implemented. Unfortunately, it is downright impossible to implement every suggestion, and this leads to that people whose suggestions are not implemented, will feel neglected and frustrated. I really can't help about that, it works this way in every game, the speed of programming can never match the imagination power of thousands of players.
And going personal and insulting really doesn't help to get your suggestions impleneted...
And if you trashtalk, your post gets edited or even deleted, even if the rest of your post was valuable.

And yes, I already admitted I can't read all the forum - because that's not my job, I am the head designer of several games and that in itself gives me 12-14 hrs work a day. Still, whenever I can, I come here, but your forum admin is Kethios, he does read the forum, and be assured if there is some important issue he will let us know.

Raggidman - I am completely aware that the English of the Legend is not as perfect as it should be. When it was translated, it was done by a very experienced translator, and it was corrected by another - but their native language was not English, so it couldn't be perfect. We have much more text in our games like other games, so we have a much more difficult time of getting them translated, and translated right. If you think you could help us somehow in correcting texts, please drop us an email at info doomlord net and we will work out the details.

About NPCs, we have several out there, like dimension doors, epics, entities, and the ones in the occassional events, like the xeno. Also, the crystal clan is actually a horde of NPCs. Would you like more? Yes, there is not much tactics in the fight itself, but there is in the way you develop your character!
