A Concise History |
History Everybody knows that history is written by the victors, and as I am a victor of my own role in this world I can write my own account of it, which may or may not be wholly accurate, or necessarily in the correct order. I have been here a while, some of you may know me, others perhaps not, though it is likely we may have passed each other from time to time as we were each going about our journeys in this place, be it with good intention or ill. To explain why my tale will be in such a format is easy to state, it is simple, I was cursed, but that I will talk more about later, for it is a story before this tale, and it will help you to know me as I became when I got here, so that your opinion of me, should you not have met me yet, is not slanted by the acts the were committed by me and mine before I was, lets say, changed...

Introduction Long ago man was immortal, he was granted mortality as a gift from God. It is our curse, but also our blessing. I would know, I was there at the start.
I'm a traveller, or so to speak, I lived in relative solitude before this land, never staying in one place too long, ready to leave at a moments notice, though not in the conventional, running down the side passageway sort of leaving, something a little more 'special' than that. But then I never was one for taking the conventional approach to things.
I have a way of doing things, a way of moving from place to place among other things, that way is called 'shifting', not a very fanciful word I know, but then it wasn't me who coined the term.
My Beginning Here I came here what seems like an age ago, as I have experienced so much since then. How I remember when I first came into that room; that glimmering scroll , the new smells, sights and sounds that so enticed me, there were so few of us in these lands back then, it was so quiet and empty of life, so much different to the place it is now. I stepped outside of that room and my senses soon became overwhelmed from this new land, and I am ashamed to say I fainted, and hidden in the grass I lay there for many days, half dead, unaware of what was going on around me, times were changing, things were happening in this new world, for it was formed for us, and everything new has to change, change is a good thing. I awoke to find a place, similar, but not quite the same as when I left it, it was busier, it was livelier. I regret those days I missed of my life, though my life is long, for I am many ages older than any man, those are the days I miss the most, so much excitement as the world formed around those within it, I crave the knowledge of the God's who made this place so that I might see it once again.
After waking I stumbled around for a while, not knowing what to do or where to go. I started to follow the beaten track leading away from the place I now call home, off through a strange area where clearly remnants of battles in other far off places had ended up, for it looked too focused for a battle to have actually taken place there, too neat if you will, but I diverse, later I came across a strange gate, it's markings were foreign to me, and back then it said not a word, with new sights such as these I had just witnessed so many thoughts began racing through my head, and because of this a few long since buried memory's clawed their way back to the surface, it was a painful experience and measures have now been put in place to be sure those memory's never resurface like that again.
Instinctively I took the right hand path from that place, the guardian that I later discovered on the left path and I have met before, and in this world I was not in a prepared state to battle with it, we have a long standing knowledge of each other, but it cannot, none of it, be said for it would weaken both sides, and both of us enjoy what power we are deemed fit to receive too much to allow that to happen, I will say but this, that many aeons and many worlds have passed since a time when we talked about friendly matters, when we, both of us, were different shapes and sizes, for the shape he holds now is merely fitting to his post, he has no real need of it, alas for my curse else I would snap him down with a flick of my tongue, but my memory's get the better of me, like I have said, it is a different time, perhaps we both may be more forgiving this time around, well perhaps anyway.

Before The Change I walked down the darkened corridor, my hands writhing in purple flame, I had reached my target. He hadn't got a clue I was after him, for I was the best that existed, the numero uno, and I could get to anyone, anywhere, anywhen. I had been at this game too long to think it would be easy though, there was always a complication, a spanner in the works, and here she was calmly standing by the door i wanted to go through, looking at me with those eyes i knew so well, those eyes that before i thought only capable of laughter and love, looked at me now with such malicious contempt.
As we faced each other on that night, all thought of love gone, we prepared to fight. There was nothing else to do. *Text to be inserted* ''why didn't it work...why is it all still here?'' ''you misinterpreted what it meant, it is not the destroyer of worlds, but the destroyer of you!''
At this point a bright light shone out from the ruins and I collapsed upon the ground unconscious, I don't remember what happened after that, all I remember is waking up some 20 years later, and as it would seem, unable to die. I had a new understanding of things, a new perception on the worlds around me, I never have found that place again but I don't think I really want to either. It was another life, and not one i want to readily be part of again.
I still retain the power that I weilded, but in a different way, and my curse, in part, is my immortality, I have no blessings anymore, I cannot recieve redemption through death.
After The Change *Text to be inserted* Now I didn't mention this before but there are others like me here, in a manner of speaking anyway, we came from other worlds and did not start here as many of you have done, some have forgotten the days before here, what they knew then has become but a dream to them. Those of us that remember however know of places where the sun departs and night falls allowing time for mortals to sleep, places where unfortunately magic has been forgotten and something called technology reigns instead, such places which are different to this one, and yet also ones which are close and similar to this one. In this world I have encountered many a number of both those that have forgotten their past, and those that remember it, the forgotten ones I have not worried by telling them what they do not know, though they were a little put of with my apparent familiarity when I saw them once again in this place.
One of those that remembered and was happy to see me once again was someone I know as Raven, so named as he once was one and flew above the seas of a world and was given power from the Gods to form it into a welcome place for beings to live within, I visited the place a few times and that was where I met him, I was cautious at first for he was surely trusted by them for they gave him some of their power, and Gods(or so they call themselves anyway) don't do that often, now I say I was cautious of this so I should probably explain why, it is because most of them are tricksters, they don't out right lie about something, but most of them say things in such a way that it is viewed in a way that is not so truthful, some however are nice, I get on with them well, but that is enough about Gods for now, back to my meeting Raven.
Now, I first saw him sitting in a tree in human form, for he had long since shed his raven form, though I believe he can chose to wear it again if wanted, he was just sitting there watching all below him wonder along. I sensed in him an observant nature, like he had done the same thing for many years, in times to come I would see him there many times and often would speak with him about our lives and some of our history, I could not transport my physical self to that place at that time for the world was too far away and I had not the magic to conjure the portal to that place, as such I was a spirit tourist there, I could not stay long in that place each time due to the type of magic involved, but he took me around that fair world with such great detail while I was there that I knew he loved it well, I wish I felt that way about a place, but I have not, not since I was young, and that entire place I loved has long since gone, but think not on it, for I do not, not any more anyway. *Text to be inserted*
The Golemus Invasion and Resulting Infection Late at night on Day 86 of year 3 in this land, a messenger ran to me saying that they had spotted a ship rise out of the sea and start heading towards our isle; they also brought news that there were 100 Empty Aramor carcasses piled aboard it. I immediately went forth to the location that it was estimated it would land, Wraith's Wreck, and dispatched several birds with messages enquiring as to their plans, to which none were responded to. I have the savage notion that the birds were eaten aboard that ship. Poor birds. So I watched, and waited, for the ship to arrive, checking my telescope every now and then to check its progress. It was thought that it might take up to three days for it to arrive.
During the course of that night I tried to gather as much information as I could about the ship, and its contents. It was a big ship, plenty big enough for that amount of Aramor carcasses, and of Golemus design. I studied this feature of it a lot, as I had not heard of a ship leaving our shores and disappearing before that point, so I knew not where or when it had truly come from. It all appeared to be so ancient. One particular point struck me as I was examining it though, and that was if the Aramor's were all in a pile, then who was controlling the ship?
Instead of the expected three days for it to get here, it arrived the very next day, on Day 87, it was getting to be late evening, I could tell it by the weary looks in the eyes of the folk nearby, and by the rumble in my stomach for food. It's how I usually tell the time. After arriving, the Aramor carcasses started departing from the ship, invading us, the only thing they seemed to do was walk up and down the shore, from Wraiths Wreck, where they landed, round to Fenth's Beach.
By the middle of Day 88, the Aramor's had finished unloading, 100 of them, just parading up and down the shore, we fought them long and hard, and beat some of them down, but none of them attacked us back, they only ever defended themselves against our attacks. We soon discovered why this was, for each of them brought with them an unknown disease, we contracted it when we attacked them, the infection made walking through the southern part of No Man's Land difficult for us, and we also saw things we thought long since gone, old statues, and Guardians long since vanished from our sight. Many of us contracted this infection, and we are yet to be cured of it, our only hope lies with Muratus del Mur, the god of this realm. Thankfully it does not seem to be contagious, and the disease doesn't seem to be spreading further than it already has.
Soon after these events the Tiny Men were spotted outside Tempest Fort, away from their natural home of Drachorn's Lair. They remain there, perhaps waiting for something to happen.
The rest of what's going to happen even I wish to know.
Current Times Recently I have been commissioned to move to Golemus Golemicarum to help those in need, and that I shall do, I will make this place my home, that is if it'll let me.
I have been promoted and am now known by the title The Golemus Inquisitor (to my firends The Cute Inquisitor), and I have abilities to reflect that promotion, be warned, I am often quick in retribution.
A While After... I am second in command of my fair isle, it has allowed me to be a part of it, to join it in it's spirit. I am a part of it, as it is a part of me, we can never be seperated.
Changes are afoot...
Memorable Places, Familiar Faces Balaric 7 - Enjoyed quite a good hunt there. I met a girl there, she appeared to be nice, but wasnt what she seemed, it was a traumatic experience for me. RegEx - I met what is now known asthe Land Guardian, things started out well, but ended badly *Being Updated*

MP2 Riddles
To all MP2 in this game...WELCOME!!! I hope that you will find this game as rewarding as I do. If you want to move yourself to the next level and explore the "other lands" of Magic Duel, you have to either reach 50,000 experience points, getting 3 activity days, or solve the 3 riddles! You can find these riddles below. When you solve all these riddles I will be able to move you at the NEXT level: Mind Power 3..Good Luck. Also, please answer all three riddles in a single pm, rather than three separate ones, I do have a message heading for promotion to mp3, please use it. Please only send me messages about completing these when you get to the "interacting with an RPC" task on the scroll.
There is no longer an MP2 stage, but you're still welcome to try these out for fun.
First riddle... A farmer was going to town with a fox, a goose and a sack of corn. When he came to a stream, he had to cross in a tiny boat, and could only take across one thing at a time. However, if he left the fox alone with the goose, the fox would eat the goose, and if he left the goose alone with the corn, the goose would eat the corn. How does he get them all safely over the stream? Second riddle... I have an eye but cannot see. I am stronger and faster then any man alive but have no limbs. What am I? Third Riddle... At dusk I come without being fetched. At dawn I disappear without being stolen. I'm a poet's tears and a sailor's guide. What am I?
Pending Contest Shortly after a Head Contest has ended I would run one of my own, a private one.
You would have to come to me to collect the Heads. The amount of heads I give out will not be a constant amount. The person who comes to me at the end with the most points (points dictated by myself) will win. The reward will be a Wish Point. You must provide proof of all your battles with other participants in the contest, whether they were Wins or Losses. Evidence of how much Vital Energy you lost or gained in each battle must be included (use imageshack, photobucket, or another image hosting site for this). I would want proof of losses and wins so that they are corroborated by the other player involved in the battle to prevent cheating or photo-shopping the images. If the other player in the battle does not corroborate the battle then it will not count. Players can join at any point throughout the contest, the contest will however run for a set length of time. The length of the contest will be 5 days. You can use any tactics as allowed by the official Head Contest and those listed here. The final score calculated will be worked out very differently to that of the official Head Contest, and as previously stated, will be worked out by myself. Other players are allowed to employ any tactics (Following the game rules) to either help or hinder you in this contest.
This list will be updated constantly until the end of the contest, enjoy.
Becoming Live Help There was an announcement that said about the demotion of LHO's, that happened because they were helping less than they should have been. Being a LHO isn't about showing off you have *'s around your name or fancy spells, it's about helping new players into the game, if you stop doing that, you get demoted. LHO = Live Help Operator. You help people, live. This is not just for a week or a month, this is for as long as you have your wings, if you don't agree with this, or can't handle it, then don't apply. Simple as that.
This all being said, if you still want to apply, then please submit an application using the page on the attic cord click-able in the Paper Cabin Study Room. Please read the "Info for applicants" page before applying.

Hate
Hate is for those with darkness tainting their soul. I do not hate, for that tainting would destroy me.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all the whole world had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.

Tips Given By The Game
- After several minutes of inactivity the interface switches to idle mode and you are loged out.
- All slots in the left menu activate at a certain point in the game when you will use them. Some of them (magic for example) activate at high mindpower levels only.
- Armor sets are much more efficient than single armor items. Try to get all items in a set for maximum effect.
- Check the newslog often and watch out for challenges. A challenge posted on the newslog is greatly rewarded for the players that win it.
- Check your creatures stats and try your best to meet all requirements to upgrade them. An upgraded creature is much more usefull then a low level one.
- Creatures found in deeper areas of the game or in lands unlocked by puzzles are often more powerfull than creatures found at the beginning of the game. You should try to get as many different creatures as you can.
- During the heads contest, staying online in sanctuary places or capitol shops wont get you score points.
- Each additional mindpower level makes NPC's more powerfull. This is good because you get better reward for winning but is also dangerous if you cant defeat them.
- Each sacrifice altar has different values for the principles. It depends on your profile what altar is best for you.
- Entering a main land costs additional action points. You must plan your moves right if you want to have enough actions to reach a certain shop.
- Gameplay changes as you progress in the game. Mindpower 3 players have a different gameplay and targets than Mindpower 5 or 6 for example. Higher game levels also unlock magic abilities or things that make your gameplay more exciting.
- If a creature or armor is more expensive it doesn't mean its more powerfull or usefull. You should experiment and find out yourself what is best for you.
- Its not nice to spam players with single creatures attacks just to get lost fights. You should ask around for players that want to win and lose fights only against those players. However, in case your honor is to low you will desperately need lost fights so you will have little choise but attacking others for losses.
- Keeping heat storage slots full all the time and storing heat back imediatly after you fisnihed your fights then activating it again when you prepare to fight again is a good way to get extraordinary profile skills.
- MDShop holds many interesing items. Each one costs just 1$ but the more you buy of them the more interesting items you unlock for the same price. Premium creatures are also available. Purchasing MDshop credits help us run the game and cover advertising and server costs, if you enjoy the game then support us.
- Never be afraid of losing fights, they are not permanently damaging your profile, in fact losing fights is required to achieve a balanced profile.
- Principle points shape your profile indicating what type of player you are. Your choices define you. They are also used for magic casting at later stages.
- Read the newslog daily, important changes and updates are announced there and it realy helps to know all of them.
- Regeneration could be very useful to keep your creatures alive after a fight but can also be a curse when you are trying to lose fights to recover your fight balance.
- Sacrifcing low level creatures is not a good idea. The best creatures to sacrifice are the ones that are max level and have a lots of won fights and xp, but you should also keep some to help you upgrade others.
- Some of the characters in the game are not actualy npc's but actual characters you could talk to and interact with them. Check out the Knator Commander at the back loreroor exit.
- Some locations hide secrets, some characters in the game have special abilities, you should hear out the rumors and try to discover them. Not all updates are placed on the newslog.
- Some story branches open up other locations and trigger other events. When you replay story at next mindpower level you should try out other ways.
- Talk to the other players, many are searching for lost fights and could help you upgrade your creatures and others want to win and could help you balance your fight count.
- The main way to upgrade your creatures and skills is to fight other players , not by fighting NPC's.
- The strength of the loreroot guards is their weakness. Simple things may be much more efficient than complicated ones.
- Try to make a ritual with a very high combo count (winning more fights with it). it will help you regenerate creatures much faster as it will give them a vitality bonus based on the total number of fights you won with it.
- Using few creatures in a ritual makes them use your profile skills more efficiently. Experiment with your rituals and see what is best for getting lost fight or winning.
- You can be part of this growing project! First thing to do is to help out new players at the newb area where you first started the game. You can also contact us if you wish to translate in your language or if you are an artist or writer and wish to help us expand the game world.
- You can buy high cost weapons and creatures even if you do not have the required max value points. Value points are received on each won fight based on the total xp. Until the regeneration counter resets you can actualy hold more value points than your maximum allowes you too. This is the way very expensive weapons should be aquired if you dont have the needed max valuepoints.
- You can get personal "papers" and write things about yourself by talking to the Librarian in Magicduel Archive lands. Personal papers are a way of customizing your profile and express yourself.
- You get gold coins as you move based on your luck skill. Each gold coin means 1 value point.
- You should attack players for positive honor. If you reach below zero honor it will be much more dificult to get back up. Once you get to -500 honor you will be able to attack only players that give you positive honor.
- You should recruit as many creatures as you can so that they get their age, but you should fight with a limited number of creatures so that you upgrade them faster.
Rules And Restrictions Because this game has a very flexible and unpredictable game world, there are very few common sense rules to follow. Try not to do anything unusual and everthing should be fine. Whenever a mod (Players with "*" in their name) warns you about something or ask you not to do anything, you better respect that.
Players with a high active day count have more freedom regarding these rules, for example if you are new (under 20 days) and you start to post links on the chat, you could be banned for spam, but if you have lets say 100 active days and you start advertising something on the chat you will be warned first. The more you play the more important you are as a player and we will treat you accordingly.
Main things that can get you banned:
Chat flood, Spam links in chat or repeated spam in PM.
Abusing bugs without reporting them.
You are allowed to talk about other games but obsesivly advertising something or flooding the chat with link to a site will get you banned without warning.
Spoiling quests or posting puzzle solutions / walkthroughs on the forum is not allowed. You can help individual players but don't hand them the solution, just give them all the clues they need and let them figure it out. You can even give them more clues than they need, just do not make it a boring click to advance type of game by spoiling it. Posting story spoilers / story structure / walkthroughs on the forum or anywhere else will get you a warning, refusing to delete them will have your account permanently closed.
Impersonating another player or pretending you are them or using very similar playername to do that will cause your account to get banned.
Using playernames like MagicDuel or a creature name or combinations that could cause confusion.
Any attempt to cheat the system by directly altering page variables and such gets you permanent i.p. ban as well. Proxy use might not always help you.
Any repeated complain from multiple unique users will get some kind of unwanted action on you, try not to offend people, or to cause a mess in general.
Keeping multiple browsers with multiple game accounts open at the same time will trigger a firewall rule that will get you banned from accessing the site, it's better if you don't try that. You should be especialy carefull if you are in a network that exits on same IP with many others.
Uncommon things that you CAN do
You can have multiple accounts, to try out the story, to experince new ways of play etc ..., however if it's detected that you are using them just to help one of your main accounts, then all of them, including the main, will get banned.
You can talk dirty things on chat, but only if you are in a remote location on the map, not in a public place, and if none of the players reading your crap will complain about it.
You can use rituals that others consider unfair, all rituals are allowed, except if abusing a bug, then you will have to report it first.
All methods to lose fights are allowed, including spam attacks to get lost fights, anything at all, ... however if more players complain about your actions you should stop or target other players or you will get on the 'black list'.
You are free to do anything in the game that is technically allowed. If you consider that you've discovered some sort of exploit or a bug, report it to a moderator.

Bootes and Nelya stand silently and observe as the Sun reappears and the Moon sets. Bootes’ face is lit up like a child’s, and Nelya smiles happily. “That was Absolutely Amazing, wasn’t it?” Nelya hugs him tightly, asking, “Will night come again?” Bootes grabs a scrap of paper, calculates quickly, and looks up, uttering one word: “Yes.” This concludes the Inner Sun branch. Soon, a puzzle will be available to let players predict the coming of night! ... |
