I.....don't know what to say other then.... I might leave. Pardon my bluntness but if this is about money then I have lost faith.

One of our server sponsors wanted us to make these changes, and he's payed us a very large sum of money to make it happen, so here we are! :D

I was 99% sure the entire time what was going down here, but once you said that it sealed the deal; I can't wait for this update!

My god you guys... You are the most gullible people one the planet:3 I'm going to ignore the troll patches, I really want shout and whisper channels to stay, I use them constantly, especially whisper. And the 60 second delay is rather silly, so you type a message, wait a minute for it to FINALLY be seen? Really I hope most of these are trolls. All of the chat changes I don't like, really.

Sorry you feel that way!

Ironically we already have a 60 second delay on chat due to lag sometimes... Or did the patch already happen a month ago ;)

I think Vaq should be banned for trolling us so hard half of us flip out.

If it is implemented I will leave as well.

[Cappy 1599]

Yes! I support every single change here! It's all for the good of the server.

Forcing rerolls will force players to actually play carefully, meaning you have to be careful as hell, even while fighting mobs while lagging, because if you die, it's all over. Just like real life. Great patch, keep up the good work.

Vaq. I found this amazing mod.

Linky link!

[Heero 4092]

[*]Extend local chat by 100 blocks to compensate for the changes of OOC. (Original: 30 blocks)

[*]Removed shout and whisper channels, as they were not being utilized the way we wanted them to be; plus they will no longer be needed with the extended local chat.

[*]Skill System max level has been dropped from 275 to 200. Any accounts with more than 200 levels have been reset and given 200 skill credits. This is for game-play balancing.

[*]You will now be required to reroll your character on death. Failure to do so will result in an automatic 1 month ban, regardless if the kill was IC or OOC.

We'll be renaming the four default races to better fit our lore and gameplay feel. Here's a breakdown of all the new races:

Human - Zelot

Dwarf - Rockary

Elf - Alfefe

Orc - Grunshie

We'll be enforcing these new race names very strictly, any mention of the old names in lore posts or anything else related to LOTC will result in a permanent ban. We don't normally respond so strictly, but we feel it is critical to the survival of the server. All forums and in-game locations will be renamed accordingly to support this new naming system.

Thanks for your continued support and general awesomeness LOTC, keep it up! (And be sure to let us know what you think of this awesome new upcoming patch!)

1.) Vaq, please don't. Having local roughly possessing the same range an shout is just lotucis, chat boxes will be flooded. (Especially in places such as Salvus.)

2.)I can't speak on behalf of the entire server, but with me, I can count on one hand how many times someone has misused shout or whisper.

3.) Dropping the skills level is just going to cause problems. There are numerous people, shops, and even characters in some cases where the removal of the 275 level limit could impact. Just a horrible idea by far.

4.) I'm not too familiar with the term "reroll" on LoTC, but I think I can put two and two together. From my understanding, it's refill your character card/info sheet, no? I can see so much time and people being fed-up with such a thing.

5.) Changing the races, just no. Horrible idea. I doubt people are going to remember the new terms off the bat and even follow it. You're changing something that's been the core of the server for over eight months. I don't see how the current names are bad. They're simple, make sense and are perfectly fine the way it is now.

Vaq, I commend you, you're an excellent coder and have some amazing ideas. I don't know what happened, but these ideas for the new patch is just insane and horrendish. Please don't, just please.
