Lotc Revival!!!

[Drumoldth 207]

Did you ever wonder what happened to the professions and skills?  Well they are dead.  Help me cast a reviving spell and bring lotc back!  In this topic i would like everyone who shares the same opinion with me to add a +1 in the comments while they state why they agree. To begin with Nexus was grinding yes , but it gave meaning to many aspects of the server. Trade is now dead so is trading rp. Remember the good old trading companies?  Custom foods and recipes.  I remember a guy rping as a great chef. With his mechanic and roleplay skill he made awesome food and items with rich description and mechanic meaning.  Enchanters miners  and alchemists.  Is it wasting time gathering resourses?  Going in the forest or in the tall mountains to gather lore rich plants to make a nice potion?  Or to dig in the mines trying to make ur luck?  A farmer is now meaningless so is the land.The lord in the castle wont give his land to the peasant to farm.

 

Now lotc is a place with 90% roleplay only.  No balance.  Should we emote breathing too?  Or why waste money to keep a  server on when u could do that kind of rp in the forums? You cant roleplay everything as you cant mechanic everything.  Why is mechanic bad and rp good?  I believe that both matter.  A good ballance between them would make the server great again.  For example whats the point of beeing a golem in a warclaim when you are as fast and weak as others?  Or an Olog?Why do i have to ask for signs from other vips in hope of selling some potions?Isnt gathering much more fun than begging?  Focusing entirely rply or entirely mechanicly is wrong.  A balance is the key.  Either bring back nexus and skills or modify them to ensure balance !!!

+1 I agree with your idea of balance, we need more mechanic.

I had to deal with Nexus professions and crafting for over a year, it was not enjoyable. While such things may be fun for the first time, what about the second time? The eighth time? The hundredth time? Nexus turned it all into a slog, and people were always doing things in the OOC and not in RP. It wasn’t very nice, and I would not want to go through the whole Nexus experience again.

I just like the stuff you could make with brewing. Not everyone can rename bottles. Forget nexus and make a new fun brewing plugin for alchemy and drinks.

I miss: 

• The whole alchemy system, from collecting the herbs to the actual potions and drinks 
• The whole enchanting system
• Protecting horses and being able to call them 
• Being able to see a horse's stats
• Being able to repair items 
• Being able to cook food without needing coal or something to burn for it 
• Finding flowers while I farm or random caskets while fishing.

Was told all those things were nexus but only after it was removed and the features went away. 

 

Only thing I don't miss about nexus tbh was some of the crafting levels required for items was stupid and made building hard along with weapons that had percentages was stupid.

I miss two shotting iron kids with an an archer set.

I feel we need to wait for the Dev Team to work out a new alchemy/enchanting system and get a taste of that before adding even more onto their work pile.

I agree on the naming items point however. Yet that's also one of the key ways the server collects its income, as it's probably one of the most appealing things VIP perks offer.

I do hope you're referencing Grubgoth Wud, the greatest Chef Vailor and Axios ever saw?

 

......and to a degree I agree, especially for old nexus professions which were there moreso to boost interest surrounding what would regularly be very mundane. For example:

• CHEF
• ALCHEMIST (BUT ONLY THE ALCOHOL / DRINKS SIDE)
• etc.

Trade is now dead so is trading rp.

hello, I play Gwion the traveling merchant and sell wares that you can't get anywhere else

 

I've found the RP enjoyable and varied and it has been legitimately lucrative; I now have more money than some greenpillar nations

 

I'm sure Auric_Saint would agree with this

Once I spent multiple IRL days RP'ing going into the forests and tall mountains to gather lore rich plants for some nice potions. That's a necessary component to getting lore rich plants now.

If you RP out the creation of a potion, as you're meant to do, the GMs are allowed to create an item of it for you.

All of these things still exist, but in a way that you actually need RP credibility to perform. You actually need to know how to RP it. To enchant, you actually need to be a mage and know how to do so. To do alchemy, you need to actually know what you're talking about and not just throw mechanical plants into a brewing stand.

 

I was vehemently against the removal of nexus but the fact that it has now lead to an economy that's dominated by custom-made RP items is something that pleases me greatly, and the fact that skilled professions like alchemy, enchanting, blacksmithing and the like require actual RP to have credibility is amazing and something that was extremely rare back then.

Parts of nexus&proffessions were good although the grind in order to gain said items was a bit much imo.

If the system was less demanding in time and maybe required more on interacting with others. E.g/ you make something but you need person X to package it or add to it. Something so like people have said, balance can be made.
