The sewers used to be a midlevel bashing ground. A place for people to hunt when they had outgrown newton and the tidal flats but were not quite up to bashing astral. Good experience, good gold and it almost never gets bashed out. For Magnagora, they are also a valued part of our culture and RP, due to the gas pipes running around the city making the laps work.

Now, they are a one way ticket to certain death. Why? Muud. Yes, the Soulless God Muud lurks under the cities and will randomly swallow anyone that walks around in them, sending them to a high level bashing ground with agressive denizens that some demigods have trouble taking on. What does doing this add to the game? Not much, other than a way to get into Muud.

I suggest either one of the following changes:

A) Make the Muud draining work like gravediggers. There is a visable thing in the sewer, perhaps a whirlpool which marks the room as a place that will move you into Muud. It can be seen using GLANCE or SQUINT and avoided.

B) Have the Muud suction take some time. Perhaps 8 seconds? If you move out of the room during that timeframe, you don't get sucked and don't get sent to Muud.

Either way, people can easily go to Muud via the sewers without making it so that midbies get randomly swallowed by Soulless and killed while trying to bash.

I think the Sewer suckage only functions when the Natatorium (the entrance to Muud in Duum) has reached a certain power level or something similar. It might even require the Soulforge being raised. Did you recently get sucked in, or is this one of those idle ideas that come around now and then?

Correct on the "certain power level", incorrect on the soulforge raising. The only way to lower it is to drop the Dread Lord too.

So, anyone else want to comment?

Muud is good hunting!

... and I used to use the sewers to get there (easiest way, in general) until I acquired my pyramid. Though I can see how it would be extremely frustrating if you're not trying to get there.

The issue I have with Muud is there's no way to get out unless you have a pyramid...

Walk to the sac and enter it, takes you to Illith Lake or whatnot.

Try walking there alone as a level 80

Read his quote? It says nothing about that.

Uhmmm level 78!

Doesn't change the meaning, there is an exit. When I was a youngster you could fall through your Nexus to astral, what a fun event that was at level 30.

Alternate suggestion: have a mob (probably the one that buys crabs/eels) give some kind of (stereotype alert) amulet or something that wards you against getting sucked into Muud.

Muud is nothing that should be easy to avoid! Stop the ritualists if you want your sewers safe!
