What's your favorite plugin in lotc? There are so many choices but mine will have to be Nexus for multiple reasons. It's just so immersive you know?

Yes, me too.

 

Memes aside, I really like the date pop-up when you first login. It's simple, yeah, but it's nice and immersive. To be honest, I don't need many plugins. LWC, soulstones, and... proximity chat and I'm happy.

I'm split between two things that are quite similar: Regions and Mining, or "Don't take the mine out of Minecraft".

 

Mining sucks at the moment. I have to be blunt. The first few levels are a grind and the only way around it is to tape your mouse down so you're constantly digging. The mines (at least the Resource Island mine) are x-ray'd to all hell. You can find more iron/coal further down, or so I've been told, but you can't easily clear the filler-blocks at the bottom without a decently high mining level. Your first few hours of mining are spent mining stone, basically. It's terrible. I'm on the fence of even leveling it at the moment till I know whether or not skills are going to be wiped or changed for the next map. I don't want to do this grind again. Also, mining in the overworld is WAY more fun. I love caves, I love caverns, I love exploring 5,000 blocks north of any civilization to find untouched ground and ore. 

 

Regions also suck. Not everyone agrees with me here, and that's fine, there's a few good counterpoints for them, but I really dislike regions. Every since Asulon, the policy for each map has sort of been 'look, but don't touch'. The world is generally pretty nice looking, from event builds to world painter, but you can't touch it. For months at a time, everything stays the same. It feels unauthentic, fake. It's hard to make a server feel like home if you can't build, if you can't make the map your own in some way. Obviously the biggest counterpoints here are people building shitty builds but that's never been an issue past Aegis if you want my opinion. As a GM I went around destroying and prettying up tons of bad builds, it can be done.  

 

This map is especially heinous. Outside of the dozen or two towns and villages, there's not much to see. It's just all randomly generated terrain that can't be touched. It's not ugly, it's just boring. There's no heart, there's no soul. Free the plebs, let them build. Don't take the mine out of minecraft. Yes we're a roleplaying server, but we're also a minecraft server. Our server should be a perfect harmony of game and roleplay and the game side is severely lacking as of the past few years.

1 - I can't for the life of my find the ghoul lore. I've looked for like ten minutes now. I may just be blind... Link me it?

 

2 - I like to hop on every few months and explore the new map(s). Plus, Spaceofaids like to spam me a lot to come back. Not sure why I'm making this one an indefinite visit, though. Good to be back however. 

 

3 - I don't know the whole team as well as I have past teams but I can't complain about any of the members in particular. I know around half of them pretty well from when I used to moderate alongside of them. A lot of new faces but hey, that's not bad. A few recent decisions may have been a bit questionable but I know how it goes. 

 

4 - Not bad, can't complain. Dropped $200 on a pool liner so I could finally go swimming after like 6 years, that's going to be fun.

It's hard to say. Some of my fondest memories are from the beginning when RP was so much more simple. If I had to pick out one moment in particular, it would have to be the Purge war/rebellion. One of my early characters, tired of a perceived corrupted guard force, rounded up a large force of warriors, rebels, thugs, and thieves, built a fortress, and attempted to lay waste to the city of Galahar. This was near the end of the first map so we were mainly having fun before the map imploded. Winner of the battle would take over the city and control it for a month or two till the map ended. 

 

After a few weeks of recruitment, the war took place, and we were quickly betrayed by the dwarven forces- I thought we had secuired our allegiances but the Dwarven king hadn't be fully swayed yet. The druids and dwarves came as backup forces that we hadn't expect and we were outnumbered in the end. This was long before warclaims, too, so the two leaders had, together, decided up the boundaries of the fight, what the winners would receive after the battle, etc. 

 

As a result of the battle, my character's lover was (somewhat) PK'd, my character was PK'd shortly thereafter, my guild's fortress was destroyed. All in all, it was a fun few weeks of roleplay. I remember a thieve's guild had contact me in the dead of night one particular day to sell me TNT. TNT was hard to come by (and ended up not working anyways, FML) and after some negotiation, they sold it to me for a shitload of minas. They also provided 5~ men as warriors on the condition that they could control the city once we won. 

 

I even found the historic entry in the Dwarven history thread:

 

"1345 - A dwarf by the name of Ingot rallies a militia for an assault on Galahar, in response to the supposed corruption of the local guard force. After gathering much support, the Grand Council is contacted to assist with this effort. After attempts by the Grand Council fail to deal with the situation without bloodshed, the Purge continues and Thorik is forced to order his Grand Councilors, Valen Blackaxe and Kjell Ireheart to rally the Legion to defend Galahar. Valen Blackaxe and Gideon Silverblade arrange a counter attack after the Purge has breached the Galahar walls, accompanied by elven support. The battle is a success and the Purge is defeated."
