Departure?

[𝕾𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖌𝖚𝖘𝖍 2236]

 

Hello, everyone. It seems like a bit much to put all my thoughts into a single post before I leave, but there’d be nothing otherwise. I could not put into words the ups and downs that I have experienced on this server along with the many upon many people I have encountered, RPed with, and genuinely made a fun experience with. While being with the Orc community I have seen person after person join the server and leave due to their own circumstances as well as circumstances that are repeated in-game.While I did play through many maps and do plan to post some screenshots here and there I also must admit that Atlas by far has been the worst map i’ve played on and is likely the main reason why I do not wish to stay.

 

Before I explain things from my perspective I will include a few screenshots during my time here to provide some good memories:

 

VAILOR

 

Spoiler

 

When my character Danzo served the Roswells of Istria as a Sergeant, who valiantly gave his life by defeating a Slave Ring Leader

 

Courland war-zone being shut down due to eviction after a few wars into the rebellion against the Empire

 

Vailor end-world event where the party faced and escaped the Greater Spirit of Disease, Orgon. My second character was an Elemental Shaman Orc named Vorgo of Clan Yar

 

 

AXIOS

Spoiler

 

The Siege of San’Kharak where the Elf and Human Empire united (surprised?) and sieged the Orc lands in a 3 versus 150 war. Wrongfully blamed for the expansion of Orgon’s influence, Vorgo’Yar finally met his fate in the Imperial Court after they circled him and stabbed him to death. Afterward, they made an attempt to move the Orcish race from the server but it was prevented since they are a main race.

 

During the time of the Axionite Coalition war against the Elf and Human Empires, I was playing my third or fourth character named Falum’Lur who witnessed his father Vorgo’Yar’s death at a young age.

 

During the Axionite Coalition when the united forces met at the Cloud Temple to discuss Peace Talks to prevent warfare, but sadly failed in doing so.

 

During the Empire’s thanium kamikaze, “I will never allow myself to fall to those Courlandic Dogs!”

 

After Donovan Ruric’s inauguration, the Norlanders approach Urguan in hopes of achieving peace between their peoples.

 

The Siege of the Krag, 40 Norlanders and Dunamis versus 90-100 Dwarves, Teutons, and Orcs

 

Dark Shamans intruding into the Orcish city and being met with arms. It came between the Dark Shaman Kulgarok vs the Shaman Falum

 

Frostbeard party with Orcish Friends!

 

Wurzik turned into a Ghoul and attempted to convert Falum but ended battling the Lutauman

 

Axios end-map transition event, Orcs battled upon the seas and split tribal inhabitant slaves between themselves and a Human faction.

 

 

ATLAS

Spoiler

 

At the beginning of Atlas where they found a native orc’s corpse and decided to Spirit Walk with the ancestor.

 

Falum’s Atlas Plantation that was worked by orphans taken under the wing of the Orc but eventually was griefed by a group called La Sambra

 

An honor klomp to decide Rex between Blogus and Falum. It was eventually metad and intervened by raiders who ended up capturing Falum (after 3 other Rex’s were captured beforehand for unknown reasons) and interrupted the tournament

 

So before I make an exit I will try to put it as simply as I can. For some time I have had a firm belief in progress of LOTC and in some part of my mind hoped that it could possibly make it far in the aspects of server growth and development. It’s almost hard to believe that I have long lost the faith I had once had for the server and I doubt it will be back on track for a while now. While I have enjoyed playing part of different communities and experiencing the people who make them up there are just some things in the server that are beyond the control of some communities and in turn prevents any type of leverage. It’s been clear for a while now that this is a community server and is not ran with the growth of business. While there may be an owner of the server he does not take part and leaves the decisions of the server to the community itself including the staff and moderators who only put effort into their jobs and respective communities.

 

It’s unfortunate next map that there will likely only be valid Elf and Human Nations that will hold next map while the rest of the descendant races as well as other Nations will be listed as anything other than their own community. Instead of having 4 different nations for 4 respective main descendant races there is likely only going to be 3 nations that hold a domain and their own main RP hub on the map. As a chad Orc player, I have seen time and time again the Orcish community and other communities get infiltrated, screwed over, or exterminated completely while any other nation who gets involved in war or any other risky situation seems to stay fine and stable map in and map out without any consequence even while considering Orcs are a main race. It is beyond unfortunate that through each map LOTC seems to experience different rules, different plugins, almost as if each map is just a complete different version of LOTC that players must try and adapt to. It’s hard to see a server just extinguish the many communities that make the many different groups of the player-base and cycle them out instead of making an attempt to preserve some sanctuary of a group. 

 

I could continue on and on ranting about the many aspects of LOTC that has lost it’s direction, but it’d only be met with a rebuttal of some sort saying that the server has improved in many different ways when it has not. In conclusion, so many things have came to light and so many secrets have been let out but still yet nothing has been done about it almost as if there isn’t even an effort to try and do anything. All I can do is hope that things will change and maybe in the future there might actually be some direction of LOTC and some authority that knows how to put their foot down in conflicts instead a community member that only knows how to choose one side. It’s been good friends I may return next map or I may not depending on how things play out, but i’ve been unsatisfied for a long time during this map and I do not plan to return any time during it.

 

It’s been real ya’ll, stay in school, stay lifting, and keep up.

Damnit man. . . And I just got For Honor as well.

[_Jandy_ 3174]

Damn brother... It’s been really real, homie. Best wishes.

[OzYmandi 647]

Wish we talked more. I never got to roleplay not really do anything with you when I still roleplayed orcs... Respect for you man. Good luck out there.

[Vilebranch 280]

It’s been grand, dude. Really, you have consistently been the coolest person I know in the orc community. I hate to see you leave, but sometimes you can only take so much of the same **** over and over. Good luck with all that non-mineman stuff.

This has always been one of LOTC’s biggest issues. Everybody just plays exact copies of themselves projected into the server instead of trying to be something different in their RP, and thus communities which are different from people’s IRL selves have difficulties staying relevant.

its been good man, hate to see you go, you were a top lad in the orc community. o7, best wishes

[Christ 939]

i’m not going to speak on his behalf as to why I think he’s quiting and who’s fault it is but it truly sucks to see you go Daniel. I’m gonna miss you man, When first joining the server I roleplayed with Ant but he introduced me to you and you were the only reason I was going to make an orc. You are a top lad and you got real life responsibilities. I hope you have a good one and come back once the server fixes itself up.

[Hobbs_Burrows 495]

Orcs and Halflings are unfortunately in the same boat.

 

The people in charge of the server have made the conscious choice of deliberately making life difficult for certain groups. And then they’re surprised when those groups eventually want to never log in again. It’s something I will never understand.

 

It is completely bonkers that Orcs and Halflings are going into a new main map for the server without any land.

I’ve only known you for an incredibly short amount of time, but it’s been such a blast. I still appreciate playing with you, especially when it’s your LOTC videos that I watched before applying. I promise you man, we’ll keep on trucking until you get back. Good luck on your future endeavors, waffle boy!

[Elennanore 2709]

Stray strong brother

[Boomzerang 509]

In the time I’ve been around, I didn’t get to know you nearly as well as I should’ve
Some day when you’re back I’ll make a Lur

[ThatGuy_777 218]

It’s a shame we never got to interact much after I left the orcs. Always loved the hell out of your RP. Probably one of the things I enjoyed most while I was still a part of Krugmar. Hope to see you return next map if things start looking up.

’Til then though, take care and keep rocking! Hope you get to do plenty with your life while away from LoTC.

[Travista 1353]

Go join up my dude

 

No ragrets 

[jdesarno 380]

Within my current four months of being upon lotc i’ve not time to experience the orcs in a wholesome way, regardless if we’ve ever talked or not, I wish you the best of luck in the future. 

 

As some might find it foolish to say, I hope to see you back upon lotc one day.
