Thales: Now Open + More Information!

[Rhia 936]

Hello Lotc,

I am glad to finally say that Thales is open! I just wanted to share a little more information with you about the map before you run off and start testing things out.

 

EDIT BY TYTHUS:

With the addition of a large chunk of the plugins for 4.0 being added, for large scale testing and to get player feedback, you will notice a lot has changed on LoTC. Vanilla crafting is gone and LoTC is a little more like an RPG but it is designed around RP and hopefully will be tools to help the quality of roleplay.

 

 

First off, regions are now claimable! All of this map is freebuild, including where the regions are that can be claimed…. until they are claimed. To claim a plot you will need a town beacon, In the future I think these will be craftable but for now you can buy them at spawn or at the GM shops located at the fork in the east road (411, 210). You can also get tents and rarer blocks there (so no modreqs for tents guys!).

 

 

You will also notice an NPC banker at the GM shops, These can be placed on request at a GM’s discretion (As in, near shops… one in a village/town/city…. but not one out in the middle of nowhere for 1 farmer and his cows :P ). You can store mina for safe keeping, and transfer them between personas!

 

Next, you can mine on the main map but we have also added a mining world… The entrance to that is located down the west road (-101, 382) but do note that you have to be an apprentice miner to mine at that depth so… Make sure you meet the requirement before you head down there. (I think it’s just selecting mining as your profession to set yourself as an apprentice miner.)

 

Also, from what I can tell... in order to pick a profession you just start doing it and gain XP in that... If there are commands we will update you on it. (Sorry, we suck.. I know)

 

 

Inside the mines there is an anvil and masonry station. I also added rails so.. if someone gets ambitious and wants to set up a rail system the start of one is at the mines entrance.

 

 

And….there is so much more to discover!

 

Something else I would like to make clear for this map…. We are gearing up for 4.0 and although this is a temp map the quality of rp needs to come up a tad… far too often in the fringe did you find trolly rp or people misbehaving (Like using /shout for ooc). We will be cracking down on this behavior in hopes of getting everyone ready for 4.0.

 

Lastly, I will be setting up “My Views” for the plugins so we can start getting player feedback. Not all of the plugins that are going to be on 4.0 are on Thales… so things won’t be 100% like this in 4.0 … so when you respond to the My View threads please keep this in mind.

 

And that’s all I have for you right now. Big thanks to Tythus, Sporadic, Kowaman, Shiftnative and BNK for helping turn this map out and All of the Tech team for their hard work on these new plugins! We hope you enjoy it and happy role play everyone! :D

 

 

Tythus is switching everything over so the server will accept players, It may be a few minutes.

Welp there goes my bank ideas.

I sincerely hope this will resurge the playerbase in preparation for 4.0.

Meanwhile scatters around to find a spot for the halflings.

Le sigh...hope the professions aren't like Vaquxines or im noping the **** out.

So, some people don't know 100% what the plugins that will be implemented into 4.0, and I don't think you guys want them all to be a surprise. I think it'd be informative upon the 4.0 release to note all of the plugins that have been added, and plugins that are being developed and will be added post-launch. 

 

Aside from that LotC is looking up. Thales looks like it is quite a nice map and I hope 4.0 has some niftier stuff!

This all looks really cool. It seems like I'm joining at a great time.

I think these crafting changes is something we should have seriously been avoiding

Can we increase Server pop. limit? The server seems to be full.

Not a single person is roleplaying a profession. I was in the human settlement, and everyone is just ooc mining and making armor and weapons. No one has a job, everyone is just sharing all of the workbenches and doing everything ooc.

 

Which would be fine, but the plugin is too annoying and frustrating at times to not be generating roleplay.
