REALMS UPDATE

JUNE 2022

━━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━

The new Realms plugin has been added to LOTC!

 

What is the Realms plugin? 

Realms is a plugin made to add nationalities to everyone’s individual personas, as well as make the lives of staff easier on the back-end. 

By doing /realm, you’ll open a GUI with the ability to see Nations, Settlements, and Mercenary Camps alongside some additional information. Lairs are hidden from this menu unless you are already part of one. If this is the case, you will also only see the Lair you’ve joined.

 

 

Anyone can join Nations, Settlements, or Mercenary camps by typing /realm join. Add a space to this command to see the list of available realms that can be chosen from.

 

To join a Lair, that Lair’s PRO must invite you using /realm invite <player>. You cannot join any Lairs without being invited first.

 

Be warned, you cannot leave a realm you’ve joined without making a /modreq and having a mod remove you. PROs can forcefully have someone removed from their realm by making a /modreq of their own.

 

Why is this important?

Realms is replacing a temporary CardEx solution which tied personas to regions for the purpose of wars and conflict.

Staff also get commands that deal with world guard regions, allowing them to handle or change these areas easier.

 

List of commands for reference:

/realm | Opens the Realms GUI to browse current realms

/realm invite <player> | For any realm’s PRO to directly invite a player, useful for Lairs

/realm info | Displays information about the realm the player's persona is in

/realm info <id> | Display information about a specific realm

/realm join <id> | Join a nation directly without a menu

/realm list | List all current realms

What is the actual point of this? Was it just inconvenient to code a /realm leave command?

I'm sorry but you cannot tell me this is not word for word factions mechanics






 

edit: in all seriousness I agree with @UnBaed. It's not inherently harmful but i cant help but feel sour in how reflective it is of the way factions servers operate, on top of how it promotes this already cancerous idea of OOC factionism from nation to nation

[winterblood 11181]

why does it feel like we take steps forward in making this server solely focused on rp, but then take steps back by adding in weird mechanics like these?  what does this contribute to a narrative, besides ooc grouping and information? 

[Fishy 2709]

Is this for warclaim roster documentation?

[HurferDurfer1 2978]

so its to make mods lives easier?

[BobBox 3798]

Can't wait for realm recruitment posts. "Hey pink tag, make sure to join my realm. Remember that you can only join one realm at a time so don't even bother rping in more than one place!"

 

I think it's a bit odd to make it so you can only be in one Realm, especially since lairs are added. Niche magic man with one house in the countryside can no longer belong to a nation. 

 

Edit: Switching which realm you're apart of should only be locked if you're trying to join a group which is actively involved in a war. Encourage the fluidity of rp instead of making people modreq to change nations.

[bumblefina 2766]

This one is a miss for me dog

 

Lets maybe NOT lean into factions mechanics. As I've said before, RP is fluid and characters intentions can change. I should not have to modreq over that. I get why this has been added but I still feel its unnecessary and a step in the wrong direction

[Hephaestus 1326]

i don't really see the point in this

I think the purpose of this plugin is even more sinister - it's an attempt for AFK nation leaders to cement their power by writing themselves into the codebase of the server, and automates things that should be dealt with IRP.

 

(plus the only documented use case is for warclaim rosters, which are already controversial and we would honestly be better off without them. I would prefer my enemy have 20 flay alts than have 1 of my ves watch noobs forced to sit out a warclaim bc he didn't join my realm. It's just better for the health of my community and fluidity of roleplay)

when you're not considered a faction because you are a vassal even though you are actively fighting different wars than your overlords, pain

On the average player side of things, yes that was the main point of it. /cardex nationality was a temporary measure made while Realms was being developed, and "/realm join" is simply a replacement for that. On the backend, Realms was aimed towards combining functionality which was split between multiple plugins into one, where we can use Realms' API in other plugins for managing regions, who the leader of a region is, and various other things.

 

TL;dr,

Players will very rarely interact with realms aside from using /realm join <realm>.

The Leaders of Regions should inform their players that if they hadn't previously ran /cardex nationality <nation>, they should instead be running /realm join <realm>.

This functionality is simply for associating with a nation for warclaims, and has no further planned reasoning behind it.

 

Notes: If you check /card and click the "Click for more.." button in chat and you have a Nationality, that is automatically converted and you will not have to run /realm join

If you run /realm join <realm> and it says that you're in a realm but it does not show in your cardex, make a modreq and request to have your realm association cleared.

 

On the side which most players will not see, this plugin serves to allow for (moderation at the time of this post) to manage worldguard data such as PROs, give PROs the ability to use the /rg addowner command, view various regions (vassals, etc) under a nation, among others.

I think this plugin would be a nightmare anytime anyone tried to scheme or plot anything beyond worshipping the NLs. Consolidating OOC power through plugins is kinda empowering the awful mentality of shadow leaders and funneling new players into cliques by spamming them on the forums before they even join the server.

 

What happens when someone rebels or disagrees with the NL? Is a subrealm made? How do you actually know who is on which side and is everyone going to get shafted for doing so? Why would I allow people to rebel when I could just kick them from the realm? 

 

How are mods, who can barely handle roads and landscars gonna take over the 50+ modreqs everytime a clique changes sides in conflict? How is this easier when more bureaucracy is added and warclaim lists already work well enough

 

I love you Adele and the work you do for the server but I just don't think this plugin is necessary, especially when most players want other systems first. (A tutorial or new player experience would be nice)
