  1. Never played a druid before but from prior experience in attempting to get into it, I think my major grip with any form of DC would be how long getting some of these magics take. I do think alot of the more hardcore roleplay scenes are slowly going away so I'm glad that there's avenues like Druidism that still exist that take IRL months, however if I spent IRL months on obtaining a magic/system just for someone to force it away from me because I don't fit the mold I'd be incredibly peeved as well. That being said LoTC needs to be written by the players vice a staff system so it only makes sense that there's a checks and balance system in place.

  3. Eyeing the document Sorcaril would sign at the very bottom as biggest fan
  4. I guess my initial question would be is if you've reported these instances? Not hating at all though if you're seeing more racism, homophobic and transphobic slurs both OOC and IC in two months than you've seen on forums like 4chan than I'd hope you'd report it as it's already a bannable offense.
  5. Think I'm in the boat as a couple other people but just some clarification or examples of how this rule would be levied would great. If this is just further explanation of the current ruling where obvious cases of listed offenses are reported then that's fantastic I completely agree!

    Metaplay

    Can't imagine why mods/admins didn't act on this information! Won't begin to take it seriously due to the insane public leaps you make to insinuate that the people listed in this report "abuse minors" and/or "mishandle their communication with minors" without any proof, I believe the community at large thinks the same. Beyond that, the only thing I can see is that your group made some terrible decisions that led to obvious outcomes and you responded very poorly.

  9. LoTC is in the best place it's been in years, this doomering is asinine. Casually more than 220~ players on a random Tuesday afternoon. Most small/major events I've seen in years from the ST. Nation to nation roleplay at an all-time high. Not more than 3~ years ago you couldn't travel from tile to tile due to server lag for months at a time. A Tuesday afternoon EST player count would be closer to 120. War roleplay understandably is very conflict driven, it's ok to feel emotion during these things as I believe that's what makes LoTC special. The same way you might laugh/cry/smile during a movie or book is in my mind how you should respond to LoTC at times. Important to remember that what might not be exciting or fun for your character could be another character's life goal or purpose. We all share the server, let's not ostracize those enjoy these dynamic parts of the server 🌎

  12. "When the cannonist princes describe their history do you think they describe with each war how the heathens flip-flop between being heathens and not? Or do you think they truly do not recognize the level of hypocrisy they show?" Sorcaril would retort
  13. Sitting atop a tree outside of Eldwyn, the mali'thill's face would feel the soft wind brush against it. Holding in one hand the missive he'd remove from his pouch a pen. From seed our tree grew Our brilliance blinding, shining bright Fools, ever envious Standing slowly to his feet, his Praeven'tir armor reflected off of the lake's surface, the elegant green portrayed for all to see.
  14. Sitting upon bench within the square of Eldwyn, a duel between two mali' taking place just beyong his view, Sorcaril would study the public letter. He'd read it keenly as an immense ebony axe sat on his lap. "Brother, in the coming years what shall weigh more, the bodies my axe takes or the paper that's wasted on these condemnations?" @Holyland Placing it aside for a moment, he'd clap loudly towards the dueling elves "Block your body Valian-!" An emphatic grunt would leave the Valian's body as Khiiral delivered a punch towards the mali'thill's kidneys. Sorcaril would wince, his head tilting downwards once more towards the missive. @HenryCore@Matty_Cress
  15. In addition to playtime, players must have been part of a realm for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the first warclaim in order to be eligible for participation. Hate for the new hour requirement aside~ Will rule be bent for obvious roleplay events? ie. Lord’s slighted from one nation, goes and joins another and urges the king to war the nation he was from. Or are we expecting players to wait two irp-years between roleplay events.
  16. Might have broke the verbatim rules of regions and how to handle it as a staff member but it seems like he’d been given kinda free reign to run the tunnels as his own lil thing, since it was his own thing. Understandably staff shouldn’t show favor to a certain group/playerbase but the way he aided the group was in a creative way that doesn’t take away from roleplay by any means, only adds to it. More than likely if the situation was handled the normal route than people would get warnings etc but the base would still have been found and located using the unfair methods listed. Suppose some valid criticism could be that the lair is now slightly bigger than the normal but I just see it as a creative way of fixing the problem. If people don’t usually get that type of support against xray/wallhack people that’s a shame because honestly that seems like the cool way to do it. @Barcardi Should have built more dragons/beige gray dimension doors for the ST, maybe you wouldn’t have been shot you nerd.
  17. Though he wasn’t present for the duel, he wasn’t surprised it had occurred. It doesn’t take long to perceive one’s experiences in life; through trials and tribulations, one’s very presence is formed. Galar had shown glimpses of his own through the minor conversations their party had held in northern Aevos that cold night. Decisive, tactful, and absolute. A mirror to the mali’ he’d seen walk through the streets of Eldwyn. Though the plan didn’t unfold, the glimpse of Galar’s emprise made Sorcaril reminisce about his days of valor on the battlefield. As he read over Galar’s letter, he felt confused; the inklings of knowledge Sorcaril thought he knew of the plan had dissolved. However… Instead of disdain or anger, Sorcaril’s face blossomed into a smile. There’s been only one other leader he’d felt confident in leaving his future to, he waged a war for that individual. Perhaps if the Galar he’d witnessed could place his confidence in the High Prince, even in defeat, Sorcaril could also put his.
  18. Bad take tbh The rules are vague, they’re supposed to be vague. It allows the administration to enforce a larger scale of “metaplay”. It’s so people can’t game the system. It’s a fine argument to make that “everyone knows what metaplay looks like..” but then when it’s only enforced when it comes to things leading up to the war system it leaves a sour taste in people’s mouths. ~From my perspective~ LOTC from a nation/group perspective is a snowball game, the larger groups will coast off of their size which allows them host large events that are arguably more fun/enjoyable than events hosted by smaller nations. All of the largest groups today benefited from recruiting outside their circle and breaking the metaplay ruleset. While this ruleset was created in-result of that, it’s in-turn decimated the ability for smaller nations to snowball outside of the year(s) long grind of events, CT application messaging, and many hours of work that goes into ensuring that your newly “recruited” player doesn’t leave to join a larger nation because they can host larger events. ”Why does it take metaplay to take down the larger groups?” Since the dawn of lotc, a certain level of metaplay is used to push a needle in a direction to cause events. Everything from making a war discord to grabbing your friend that you play league with is metaplay, it just depends what you decide to enforce. I was personally recruited from Badlion(A PvP server) to come and war Oren way back when. Since then I’m now known as a someone who stood with Oren until they fell. Dynamic nation events don’t happen without a level of what’s considered metaplay. If it’s the administration’s perspective to keep the nations as they exist now then by all means keep em coming.
  19. Anybody want to discuss how much we're getting paid to be NPC's on LOTC for M1919 to interact with? Looking to maybe start a union

    1. iris1612
    2. Coronate

      Coronate

      how much is he paying you to glaze him?

       

      looking to start a union for that as well

    3. M1919

      M1919

      wow these dialogue options are really cool

  20. Andires would think momentarily before putting pen to paper, a document meant for his Captain @olpx While the letter seems to be written by a leader who's spirit remains unbroken, I worry for the denizens of Lurin that aren't darkspawn. Not only are our soldiers far better trained and armed, we now outnumber them five, if not six to one. I'd give praise to those amongst their rabble who stand up against the tyranny and madness that this letter posses. I advise our war council to reach out and find those amongst them who don't wish to parish and bring them into the fold. My regards~ Andries When he finished the letter he'd seal it slowly, his eyes drifting out towards the caravans of people and supplies exiting the east. A slow breath would leave him as he placed the letter in his pocket.
  21. Defender Default gives the choice for defenders, I don’t understand why this is an issue. Warclaims and vast majority of battles for wars are decided via PvP, this choice still gives the choice to choose CRP for defenders. @xMutedmakes a point that CRP encounters take hours usually. Even myself having the luxury of the CST/EST will find myself stuck in combat for the majority of my off-time if it’s not PvP. The server has large amounts of dedicated mechanics to PvP, Wars fought via PvP, Swathes of rules created to ensure PvP was fair, and a crafting system made to ensure that PvP gear takes time to collect. People might dislike it but LOTC in its entirety has been a fine mixture of CRP/PvP, it’s not something that’s going away. Give people the choice to decide between the two.
  22. The lone elf would sigh reading over the notice “Perhaps a state that knows nothing but living in fear, yearns to return to it.” He’d pick up his sword, marching off to new lands
  23. [!] The following missive is ripped down from said posts and boards across Haelun'or [!] Sorcaril would sigh as he arrived at the final board, noticing Yera reading it he'd rip it from their hands! @Ewdrawings
