Why Bryophtes Need to Come Back

[Ballentine 218]

     Yes, I know that they have been axed an all, but I honestly think they should come back. We have more and more players coming into Lord of the Craft and I'm sure there are people out there who still desire the race. And as a compromise, we could make it harder for people to become Bryophites, like only having spores from when Bryophites are under a trace period or growth period. I know that I don't have much experience on this server and don't hold any major positions on the server, but it seems unfair to new players and those who are true to the lore.

True to the lore? IF the lore has been "Axed" as you say, it's not true to the lore. It's gone.

[mitto 2312]

As a player who witnesses the rise and fall of Bryophites, and played one myself. I can honestly whole heatedly say that it is an extremely bad idea to re-implement Bryophites.

 

In simple terms, it always seems like a good idea for sort of the small nice maybe 6 players that ever play them at a time, but you honestly would just be RPly bullied left right and centre because you're considered the equivalent of a ghoul. It seems like a good idea until you have one and the RP is just extremely boring and bitter.

 

There are honestly a lot of alternatives, for instance becoming a Druid in RP has a similar sort of feel in a nature-y way. Or even races like Satyr, etc. There are lots of exotic races that are well merged into the server, however I know for a fact that Bryophites will never be.

I mean people who know a lot about bryophyte lore and would abuse the race's abilities.

On sort of a scale of races/magic that are extremely easy to abuse, I'd rate a Bryophite a 1 on a 1 - 10

Then perhaps its time to change and reform them.

Change the abilities and how they are played

They make good salad, that was my excuse to kill them

As a player you are free to submit lore at your own discretion, however it's a very hard sell to the lore team. And you'd be really hard pressed to find someone to help with this. I can give you some links for research though, if you do plan on spearheading it.

I would just like to add if you would like to gauge the servers opinion on Bryophites, the comments on these threads can be fruity.

Because byrophites can still be played by past players who had them it makes sense to allow someone who REALLY wants to play one the opportunity to do so.

     The main reason I'm doing this is because my character accidentally found Verridian Moss but the following irl day, the bryophytes were axed. :/

Well, I REALLy want to be one

So wait, let met get this straight...your argument for why they need to come back is essentially because you want to play one? Well I want to play mori'quessir. Those were bomb ass *******! But guess what, they aren't coming back. No matter how many new players want to play them.

 

Your argument has basically no validity.

There is a large difference between a race that was bound to a map and a race that was removed because people who didn't play them weren't fans. One was presumably wiped out and the other is a naturally occurring plant. There is no lore that says that moss couldn't exist elsewhere whereas the Mori had their city in Asulon and no place else.

Uh. Every argument on this forum is based around what people want lol. And actually, yeah, if thirty people wanted them back I'm sure they'd be back

Not likely, given how the Mori died out. Or were assumed to die out.
