Some recent plugin changes

Not to rain on anybody's parade, but could you perhaps tell the community about the professions plugin before you do away with the skill system? I think we'd like to know our alternative before we commit to one or the other. Maybe you guys could have 24-hour polls before making changes like these in the future, just to make sure the majority of the community supports? Just food for thought.

That being said, I'm glad progress is being made.

Well, I do hope the community won't abuse the current lack of any sort of plugin. I can't wait to here about this new profession plugin, but I am just a little worried about the abuses that could occur with no system in place.

Thanks for the update.

Here is what I think right now: taking out the skills system means anyone can fight against highly trained warriors and win. Instead I think you should give everyone 300 skill credits and keep the skill system until the new system comes out. I'm all for a new system though but please for the love of god ASK US on what we want.

It's called role-play, not PvP. In role-play a simple farmer couldn't fight effectively against a highly trained warrior.

From what I heard there is tons of power gaming in RP fights.

Than help them improve by pointing out their mistakes. If they continue, ban report.

My faith in Lotc has been restored. I was disheartened after Availer left again, but having a fresh tech team that knows what they're doing, understands roleplay and don't let their own desires interfere with their work is fantastic.

Super excited.

Oh, your faith in us? Hahaha, you mean when you attacked the server and staff on seperate forums? Yeah, I recall, I'm glad it's been restored, though.

Back to the Skill System, by profession system, we mean you won't need to grind your way to 100 swords, your professions should expand along your character.

So, what's happened to axes in the meantime, have they had damage buffed?

[GrizzlyWes 127]

Yes thank you,

The main reasoning behind the removal of the skills plugin is the resources required to run it - every strike and craft pings the server with a request due to gaining experience, our current box is meant to deal with "experience gain" but is far too costly - The profession system will not have rigorous leveling and we're switching hosts soon ~

I assure you that variables involving the profession system will be voiced among the community when that time has come :ugeek: !

Thanks :) glad to hear. Do we have an ETA for the professions system?

So, the skills system is completely gone right now? New players are going to have to learn what it means to role-play without something holding you back.

And some older players are going to need to remember to be patient and assist in newer players immersion and understanding of the server and its goals toward RP :>
