Just a Rant and Discussion: I just wish to know if I'm the only one feeling this way. I find my want to log onto LOTC getting lower and lower, and at this point I hardly get on ever if not at all. I feel things growing stale. Not to mention our builds being stolen and the admins still have addressed it in a proper way towards the common players. But that's besides the point, I use to love this server, Felt as if things mattered I guess. To be honest I'm growing to hate how this server is ran, yes a good step was made with the C team it only took a few years, right? But other problems still remain. To put it bluntly, this server is not doing all that it can, there are so many things that can be done to make things better. Better actions could be made, better management of projects, wars, plugins, raid limits, better fighting rules and actually player stats that, and so much more could be made if people took ideas seriously. I've been here for a few years now, and I have been burned out before yeah, but never like this. This feels different. I feel like a cow without anymore milk to give.

The Viktoria Altwegg-Winburgh reads over this parchment, and can't help from laughing more then one has ever done before " SEEE, SEE BOY. . .I told you Petrans are odd! No wonder he got mad at me when I called em odd HAHAahah" @_FirBranch_ @Grave

I believe this is true as well, but either way. Even if that wasn't the case everyone who even so much as placed a damn torch should have the right to know. I personally believe the peoples who are stealing this should be nuked to high Heaven. I know Mail, and thank you for trying to do the things you are doing.

still, I think we all are entitled to know something is being done.

the ENTIRE map got stolen Mail. Which mean, your builds, my builds, everyone who even edited a room in a city got their things stolen from them. I do not believe removing it is going to fix the issue. they are still selling everything on other websites

It goes further Mail, they even got their own website. https://spaleforce.com/marketplace/builds/10k-medieval-map

As I am sure you all are aware, ALL and I mean ALL of our builds have been stolen by a third party. Without any consent what so ever. There are other post informing you of course. But I believe we need a response from our Admins, at least something, for the sake of easing peoples nerves as well as my own. Just something to show us action is being taking.

Vik reads it over with that blank face of hers ". . ." before just shrugging and going about her day, where she is

Gaspard Winburgh takes a long drag " I used to pray for times like this"

To Step Aside Since the death of my Father early in my life I have been Baron of the Isles, for over fifty years I have served at this post, acting as the Admiral of Ravenmire and as the Grand Collar of The Order of the Phoenix serving loyalty to all my noble lords. But I can see in I am growing older, slower, and fatter. The rotting world I knew when I was but a boy, is dead, buried behind decades or tireless work and actions. The few stood up to the many. The dirty rotting many. We started from nothing, a mere sentence in a history book. But time moved on, we grew into the most powerful nation this world has ever seen. And I am thankful to be a part of such a legendary story. I am thankful to have had many people I consider family, a few were stolen from me yes, but others remained. My father learned many things about this world that we find ourselves in, as have I. The Sir Magnus Winburgh, Founding father of the Isles, Knight of Veletz, Slayer of Viceroys, Bane of Petra, Admiral of the Middenlands, and lastly the Baron of the Isles. Needless to say, I had quite a bit of things to live up to and to say that I did, is to stroke one's ego. So I will leave you with this I have served for more years than my own Father lived. We, the Ravens of Old, toppled the tyrannical monuments that found themselves in power. We funded Nations that valued freedom and Justice Aaun faltered Vortice fell Hohkmat burned Lurin splintered And long thought dead, Van Aerts now rule as they always should have. I am happy for one of the few times in my life, I am happy to have played a role. And my happiness is not going to be destroyed by some damned Mountain. Down with the Damned Mountain. Oh and I’m stepping down, And with these trying times we have no time to hold a vote The next Baron shall be my youngest Larkin Mack Winburgh signed, Baron of the Isles, Grand Collar of the Ravens

Gaspard read over the missive, as he "what a fool" as he picked up his cane. . . .and called for his ships to be prepared, as well as calling his gates to be shut and locked " Bloody Royals. . . why can't they enjoy peace. . .why, why must I bloody my hands once again. . .I pray for them".

Has the tile map map been made yet? or is it still a work in progress?

The old man Gaspard laughs "what have I been telling you all these years! I told you what you, and you alone could do Ha!. . ..damn. . My job just became harder, didn't it?"
