[Official] Staff Q&a

[Aislin 4354]

Is the administration considering adding a new admin within the next month, or not?

[Free The Hobbits 859]

 "[10:05:29 PM] Kevin [Viper3X]: The high-ranking Black Scourge members are having a meeting this weekend to discuss future plans and to organize the North release." Hopefully this answered your question. If not, I suggest PMing Viper :)

   Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it seems to me like you are using this Q&A as an excuse to vent your frustration over recent events on us and masking it in the form of questions. We are not a ban happy server, and when we do ban players it is for good reason, even if some might not see it that way. If you have an issue with our reasoning, then I suggest taking it to PMs, but please leave it out of here. Additionally, we have taken apparent steps as of late to move away from our "application happy" status, including things such as the recent suggestion of my own to remove the need for lore proposals. This, among many other recent suggestions and decisions, which have arisen after considering the community's own ideas, is what we the staff are doing to improve our relationship with the players.

Didn't mean to come off that way. I heard radahan was banned for Skype rp though? I was unsure why he was because I thought Skype was separate from the forums and server

Two questions.

 

 

1. Why does staff wait until someone goes offline to close a modreq? (exp. I logged for a second to swap computers. I log back in and not 5 seconds later I get a message popping up that my modreq was just closed.)

 

2. When can we expect TS to be fully back up? Honestly, its hard to keep in contact with people without it. Not everyone likes giving out their skype.

1. Probably just bad timing or a coincidence, but I'll work on...trying not to.

 

2. You're probably going to want to check with the Tech Team. I don't believe there is a definitive date, but most likely very soon.

HOLY CRAP, YOU LISTENED TO MY IDEAS! <3

 

Onto the question: Are there actually any considerations among the admins for a staff purge?

 

And to Telanir... ANY NEWS ON THE MAGIC PLUGIN?! :D

[Iosif 72]

Can I just ask, why are people so against Nexus PvP? In my eyes it adds difficulty to mobs and we COULD find ways to reduce lag.

Not much of a question I can answer...

 

Because they dislike it?

Just wanna add too that the plugin is only light lightweight and doesn't add any lag itself the tech team has told us this a few times :P

If possible, would someone be able to tell me why marcitos123 is banned?

Yes, many news on the magic plugin! You see, I forgot my newspaper on top of my magic plugin, it's a bit buried in there give me a moment... Naw just jesting. Here is news... mana, spells (combat not being prevalent), shiny happy effects, teaching, spells, environment based learning, more spells, and finally, spells. _{did i mention spells?}

Well, people are entitled to their own opinion, I don't think this is valid question for the Q&A hehe, these are staff oriented questions. ^-^

 

If you want I can get a GM to respond to this, I can't because I'm probably biased. People have many different reasons, I don't think that the staff can speak for the community, I think people do that themselves.

Feel free to send any moderator a private message and they will help you out right away. :)

I am happy this is going ahead. I believe what we all want to know is the stage of development. Not the release date just what you have and what you don't. 

[Dalek348 1962]

What are the admins opinion on removal of villain and magic applications? And when will they be removed?

 

What do you think of making fun not lore?

 

When will the website be changed to look better and nicer?

The primary reason for wishing to remove nexus combat is that it doesn't really make any part of the combat better, it just makes it slower and less exciting, as well as adding unnecessary restrictions to a combat system which wasn't broken to begin with. Also, if you're not in the United States (and depending on your PC) it is pretty much impossible to fight with this system due to the immense amount of lag that it suffers, therefore nullifying the argument that it 'makes PvP fairer by giving people with bad pcs a chance, which wasn't an issue anyway). This half of the Nexus plugin is the one half that we didn't need, all we need is a professions plugin to supplement the pre-existing Minecraft combat system, which is already fantastic to begin with.

 

tl;dr, The PvP system now is still clicky clicky, it's just slower and less exciting clicky clicky.

You are very wrong their i live in australia and with most of us get little lag when using the plugin our internet really isnt that bad even with subpar PCs. I enjoy the changle of nexus pvp and so do the rest of aussies i hang out with in lotc.

Do we have a rough time for 4.0? or just when its ready like all our other maps
