So, as many of you would of noticed, I’m still not yet about about on Dark Isles, but don’t worry, I’m still very active and working hard on the new website. The problem is, with being a single Mum, and carer for my Mum who is ill, I don’t have many hours in the day to be active with Dark Isles stuff. And big projects like this take quite a substantial amount of time. I found that if I was active on Dark Isles, then the time I had to work on the project was reduced to almost zero as I was bogged down by a lot of requests, support issues, ideas and general mud-type-stuff. All of which is important, but I have only have so many weeks off University to work on the big-stuff and I want to make the most of it. The other side effect of this is that I don’t get to roleplay much myself. 
My plan, at this stage, is to get the website all up to scratch and then go back to magic. I know I’ve said that before, but I really need to have a big think about how I want magic to work and how the code can make it work. The latter bit is the more important of the two, the code base we use restricts in the number of ways in which we can implement a magic system. We need to start with something simple and gradually develop it into something a bit more intricate. Also keep in mind, I do plan on keeping magic rare. The requirements for using it are going to be tough. It will require (still) a talent, and likely very high mental stats. I’m also thinking about a TRPP (total roleplay points) requirement to further restrict the number of mages out there and also make sure those that play them are familar enough with your mythos and the rarity of magic.
Although most of you I haven’t had a chance to welcome personally, and I hope to get to that eventually, I want to extend a small welcome to all the talented newbies I’ve been seeing on and hearing about. Glad that you have found us amongst all the hack-n-slash-muds out there and look forward to seeing you get involved in the roleplaying world and the OOC community.
