It just depends on where you go. In placed like Haense, Vortice or even like Numendil I feel like I can reliably pull up to any group and atleast get a "Hello". I tried that in Celianor for example and promptly got told to get bent. If people are ignoring you, stop trying to give them roleplay. Hell come down around Haense or Numendil and I'll make sure you get rp. Goes for anyone in this thread looking to make a story together. Doors always open on my end.

Lord, now Viscount Walter Weiss should have felt happy. Stanislaw had been returned and he had claimed his position, and yet his eyes gazed to the empty silence of his hall as the servantry scrubbed the blood from their floors. An itch for a far grander battle still raged in his heart. He had a great many things that needed doing. But the thing he wished for most, was to make the necromancer that dared harm his brother pay. He penned a bird to an old friend. He had hoped that perhaps now, the hunt would be on in earnest. One head at a time . . .

1. Yeah, probably. LotC is loads of fun and I enjoy spending my free time with my friends here. 2. On Felix, definitely when he beat his son in an alleyway. On Walter, his journey to master the Mortal Blade of Jophael. 3. It's not really any one person in particular but anyone that spends time in or with the Weiss group. You're all ******* awesome. 4. It was good overall, I enjoyed the work I did. New moderators may struggle though, it's not very welcoming on the upper leadership side or easy to access if you don't already know people at the top. 5. Great question. My advice would be to just have fun with the roleplay you want to do unapologetically and stick with people that add to your experience rather than subtracting from it.

Honestly I really don't know! It just sounds cool. Unironically I planned to kill Felix Weiss off in my first week and make a "real character" when I was less nooby. Had no idea where I'd end up and I didnt really have a plan haha. 1. Best rp experience is the inferi war, best experience with you is anything that dealt with the owl. I genuinely think hes the best character on the server. 2. Felix will always have a soft spot in my heart as an up and coming illiterate peasant that died a Viscount, but Walter is infinitely more complex as a character, probably because I've had way more time to develop him from five years old to now. 3. Any event that deals with fighting. The Inferi War and Mori events were loads of fun individually even if the Mori stuff got a little rushed in my opinion. 4. It's between you and @Frostdrop1 1. Whatever @Werew0lf is selling these days is whats in my bag.

I'm doing the meme. Been a Haenser for the overwhelming majority of it. Figured I'd make an AMA for the hell of it.

"Good heavens!" Walter Weiss exclaimed. "Could he be the one to finally bring civilization to the elves?!"

Walter Weiss had just returned home from the meeting where which said missive was written, though he did not rest. He looked to the Blade of Jophael which hung on his hip, and up to the blue banners that lined the walls of his home. He uttered a phrase not to himself, but hoped that GODAN would carry the message to Stanislaw: “Hold fast, brother. We’re going to get you out of there. GOD help anyone that stands in our path. Va ve Maan.”

When people approach me asking, "Is it acceptable to play a racist character", I always tell them "Yes, but be mindful that poor quality roleplay will earn you no friends no matter what your character's flaw is." The universally best way to approach this if you choose this path is to use insults from other videogames and media. Someone brought "greyskins" up from Skyrim. Great example. To new players who might read this, take the following advice: To use dwarves and a common insult used against them as an example: Midget. This- unsurprisingly and understandably, will cause people to become upset because of the real life connotations with that word. Instead, you can get not only creative but funny with it without hurting someones feelings. For example, say your character's in a bar and you're getting rowdy and someone starts a topic about dwarves since we're already using them. If your character really hates dwarves, you can go: "Those damned lumberfooted, rockheaded, copper-polishing, cave-hopping dirt faeries really get under my skin!" and no one in their right mind would get offended at that. Try to keep your roleplay friendly. Look to every situation and ask how you can best add, and not subtract to the experience and you'll be fine.

this is huge for my fishing guild comrades and lotc at large. well done!

I like pvp because it lets me and my mates get some epic clicks in and have a laugh on the one hand, but yet I do not like pvp sometimes because there's hardly any humor in it and people treat it like everything is on the line when it happens. Often since my arrival to LoTC have I seen groups take to OOC after a loss and claim "they had nothing to do with that", throwing their allies under the bus, screaming at some poor noob that just wanted to have fun, or bickering and screaming overtop of eachother. It just gives me a headache to sit and listen to a VC like that when I'm just trying to have a good time. It's a total slog and creates a toxic environment that is roleplay in name only. Which is mostly why I've stepped away slightly from improving my pvp skills. I find more joy in little bandit encounters and small interactions with players on the regular rather than be belittled by teenagers in a VC that pin their reputation on their ability to click on a model in a children's game. I think overall PvP is a tool, not a solution in and of itself. It works when people want it to. If the people who want PvP strived to make it more fun for the people participating in it, perhaps then more people wouldnt be scared off by it. Tl;dr, I'm a roleplayer at heart, not a PvPer but PvP can be fun if you're doing it with your friends and people who can have fun with it.

Nope, not weird at all, but do remember that weirdness and poor roleplay go hand in hand. No one will give a shit if you play a man or a woman, but they will think it's weird if you make that their sole character trait and that becomes all they have to offer. You'll be fine. Enjoy your roleplay. :)

We love ya, Gus. Stay sane out there, homie.

A young Walter Weiss was at home, carefully maintaining each chain link in his mail. He thought ponderously, upon what his new king would bring to the realm. However, he did not have to think long. He called back to the prince's words to him. Harsh, ever though they were to the proud young lad's ego, he believed that the prince was a wise and true soldier, like his own father, Audo. Walter saw much of himself in the prince, in a way- or atleast, what Walter wanted himself to become. He looked to the Brotherhood banner that flew in his room. He thought of the shoes he would be expected to fill in his own life, and wondered if the Prince felt the same anxiousness at the prospect. But that didn't matter. He had made a promise to the prince, by his honor. To the Last.

Walter Weiss would come to miss Georg, even though the two had hardly spoken, he had seen to it, as had so many others that Haense was safe when it needed protection. To the Weiss, that was enough. He signed the Hussaryin, and prayed for the Royal Family.

1. Whats your favorite character so far? 1a. What is your favorite moment on said character? 2. How do you feel about the hyperinflation of the price of beef jerkey?

OOC:

happy birthday anyway! :)

Was thinking about this the other day but what if this continent was the remains of a "map-change" for a totally separate and alien civilization from thousands of years ago and now we're re-colonising the ancient lands of an empire long-gone? I'm really excited, and hope that there's some sort of 'hook' for the descendants this time around.

Felix was leant against his door by the river in some tropical paradise in the Seven Skies. He smiled fondly at all of the memories of Sebastian Bishop, that crazy, wild-eyed Waldenian. "Vy were as quick with a joke as vy were with a punch to the face, vy old bastard." He spoke to himself as a smile broke upon the features of his face further still. Yet, Sebastian was without a doubt one of the finest soldiers Felix ever had the pleasure of both commanding and serving under. Sebastian was rock-solid in his resolve, all the way to his soul. Felix never knew him to question, disobey an order or make little snide remarks. He just did his duty. Even when he was in command, he didn't prance about like some fat, useless whelp lording over everyone as he had known a few disgraceful officers to do. No. He was still that same soldier. He'd never send a man into a situation that he wasn't willing to go in, he never, ever dishonored the trust of his men and he was throughout his entire career above all things: His comrade. And now Felix hoped that the old man would finally find peace in this new life of eternal sunshine and ever-overflowing barrels of scotch, whiskey and the good old Black. Felix, a fellow old man, certainly knew he had. Though, even in this new life, he had not drank. He made a promise. "...Krusae zwy Kongzem. Rest well, brother." He stood, and saluted the sky above.

As Felix Weiss sat by his door in the Seven Skies, he peered up as a soft thunder quietly bellowed overhead. He smiled brightly as he realized that it was not thunder, but the sound of trampling hooves. A light chuckle escaped his lips. "...A Hussar has arrived."

Walter was picking up his mail in Karosgrad before jaunting over to one of the many sweet shops that lined the streets. He looked down to see one of the copies of such a missive in a half-frozen mud puddle. He bent down, to pick it up and he scanned over the missive. Some of the words were too big for his eight-year-old mind, but he managed to pick out a lot of the words like "Adria" and "Allessandra de Vend". His eyes widened. "Mea governess is an Adrian?!" He bawked!
