Fame Decay

[Mephistopheles]

I was wondering if there was a fame decay over time system being implemented here.

I don't have the ability to scan pages from my Playguide so I'll just copy here:

"5.10-5.11
FAME
Like Karma, Fame is acquired on a sliding scale. When you are already famous, you're expected to do more heroic (or villainous) deeds than normal folk.
...
These are some actions that will lower your fame
...
Fame decays with time (fame is fickle)."

My Playguide is dated to 98 and is titled SA so I'm certain that fame decay/time is acc.

Oh and does anyone know how to get Dread Lord? Seems like an extremely difficult title to get.

Lady Bina Supports this thread!

All the elements of fame mentioned are in except the decay. A modest daily fame decay will be added in the next publish.

I've seen a couple dread lords, but with the patch that implemented "The Murderer" title, most people who were dread lord were turned to "The Murderer Lord" which is also pretty sweet but yeah.

Bring back Dreadlords?

That'd be pretty sweet.

[Mephistopheles]

So...

Step 1: Chop up Corpses, Steal, Heal Greys/Reds and Murder players until Karma is locked at Outcast level
Step 2: Get rid of "Murderer" title (which you're prolly going to have to get) by waiting patiently
Step 3: Kill high Fame mobs
Step 4: Laugh maniacally when you see "Dread Lord" in your title

That sound about right?

Wrong way round. You need to raise fame, then lower karma.

[Mephistopheles]

Pretty sure that you're wrong. If you raise your fame, chances are your karma's going up to boot since the only way to really do that here is by killing mobs. When hit Lord/Lady, you'll have to kill even more people just to get your karma down low.

[Caswallon]

If you kill a mob, your karma will raise, No matter what it is, all mobs will raise you from negative karma. Karma locks are not accurate to T2a are they? Thats why dread lords get pissed when you 'i honor thee'.

[gdidit]

Dont you lose karma for killing wisps?

See. You cannot raise fame without raising karma, broadly speaking, therefore, your fame must be maxed before you start losing karma if you want to be Dread.
