In Reply to: can anyone explain why that lich is so powerful, and also question for the imms posted by newbie on July 4, 2000 at 23:40:47:
> ok, imms always try to make the game balance? It's not like one person will tilt the balance of the MUD, he is actually quite a nice person to have around. The IMM's can see who has some balls to stand by their beliefs and try to wax him or who just think about shiny gear and con. > so why is it the evil classes turning to evil are always more powerful? Ehm .. evil classes turning to evil ... you got me there. > Palanm liches? Got me again it seems(if it is Palan liches I am still without a clue) > I never seen a good person that was nearly as powerful as evil classes. There has been some quite powerful persons of good alignment. It's just that you don't feel it as much unless you yourself are evil. And some of the major fuckup spells like sleep are evil only, and can make even a quite nasty goodie crack. > so why is that lich so insanely powerful? Good player, powerful race/spells and vigilant to some of the drawbacks. And to boot he gets more and more powerful as he kills more people. > because he fullfilled the imm's quests?
I am not really thinking it has much to do about quests, sure his gear has a "bit" to do with exploring. And the tattoo is nifty, but all in all it's not an IMM that tips the scales in either direction(at least not by direct manipulation)
There has been some nice behind-the-scenes things like the Palan axe thing ... but not direct boosting to my knowledge, and he certainly doesn't need it.
