[The Victor Blair Project 36]

Elevators and the Password locking which for me at least were the some of the biggest reasons I donated. It makes sense although it's a tad upsetting.

Passwording does essentially the same job as the LWC perk in Gold, although perhaps just slightly easier. Elevators really made no sense - maybe we'll see about implementing a system that actually makes RP sense?

I'm hard-pressed to think of a player more deserving of Most Noted Player than Ned Lud. Every time I see one of his posts I wonder where we'd be without him. :)

And welcome aboard, Guides and new GMs and FMs! Since I was away for the past week I haven't had much of an opportunity to drop by~

I can garuntee that a rank did before have full lwc and craft book access, granted it was a long time ago, it was still there, secondly I think it is completely wrong of you to take away what people have purchased, which is essentially what you are doing. Yes you are not taking away the rank, but if someone gave you money for privileges, and then you decide to take certain ones away? I am sorry but that is simply not right.

-edit- When I say full craftbook, I mean gates, elevators, redstone netherack & jack-o-lanterns etc.

Panda thought the guides wouldn't be mentioned, go us! ^_^

Full craftbook would refer to everything such as ICs, etc. No rank has had access to jack-o-lanterns or netherrack, etc for a long time ago.

Nobody has purchased anything here - it's donations. You get these as a gift from us, it isn't a right to have them. The donations ranks get changed, and the people with that rank have what they get changed.

As I have previously stated, we will be granting new privileges when we are able to.

Thank you, thank you, you're too kind. Guide Swag.

This is obvious bias by mogroka choosing his well known friend and fellow Orc as most noted player. Put mogroka s head on a pike!

Anyways in all seriousness, congratulations Ned, I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier as you are most definitely one of the most respected players on LoTC.

I can't hide/show my posts.

EDIT: And maybe I'm just reading over it, but what happened to plots of land?

In regards to the FM team, there’s two more FMs on the ‘prowl’ now - Aryon and Meguzara. Both of these players have shown great dedication to the server in the past, and were chosen for their ability to work efficiently and properly.

THIS. You DONATE to the server. The server is so sweet, that it returns you with perks, as a Thank you. However you are not PAYING for the perks.

Donating and getting things =/= Paying and getting things.

Some things aren't set up quite yet - the unapproving/approving shall be working soon - as well as the in-game perks!

Land-plots have been removed for 3.0 - they will not return. We are trying to decide something different to replace this with.

bit pissed about taking away the extra soulstone location... hello ppl gold vip's sould atleast get something :I and not need to donate 100 euro's...

[IrishPerson 693]

Very nice read, Danny.

Although I am depressed about two things now. Liri left staff which I did not know and diamond no longer gets land :'(. We get nothing :( not even a shiny name anymore. In all seriousness I think that was a bad call. I see no reason in me upgrading now for more npcs. More things should be added for the higher ranking donaters. In my opinion.

Edit: Why don't we have access to LWC too?

You still get an extra one, but it's inherited from Iron.

Again - we are adding more in future, once we are capable of doing so when we get plugins that allow us to give good things.
