-1's don't provide feedback or much room for growth so I'm personally against them returning. If you disagree with someones' post, comment with constructive criticism or +1 someone who has commented. Removing status updates however seems like a mistake to me because it doesn't solve the issue they were meant to, just moves it.

That's not what she meant at all and you know it, I don't exactly agree with locking the topic [i'd rather people be warned or banned.] but there's a difference in criticizing something and just being inappropriate. As for the topic, I reckon status's will return soon.

Removing an outlet doesn't solve the problem, it just moves it - I hope to see status's return. [We have warns for a reason!]

LoTC has always meant the same thing to me, A place where people from all walks of life may come together through story and theater & learn about themselves, their characters and each-other in a setting that is familiar yet enchanting. It's vital that we all remember to provide the best experience possible for one another and do whatever it takes to ensure that. We are all writing one story, each telling one tale. Honor eachother and embrace every individual for what they are, a person and a friend. For a newcomer LoTC should be wonderfully inviting, easily understood and hold an infinite bounty of opportunities and engagements. Do whatever you can to ensure this and fight to make it so, for the better. When I left my position in December 2012 the title of Lead Developer was not passed on, It was very considerate of the admins to reserve this title and allow me to return to it in 2013. This time however, I have too many other commitments. The torch will be passed onto another and for the first time LoTC will have a Lead Developer who is not plucked from the original 5 creators of Lord of The Craft. A passionate, eager and warm individual will most certainly take my place and I do think it is a very positive thing for Lord of The Craft to have a bright new face to stand behind. Please remember the types of etiquette and cooperation I have tried so desperately to instill and that this game is as good as you allow it to be. No Plugins, Rules or Events can make a larger impact than being personable and compassionate to those whom you meet along the way. I will spend my time roleplaying, hopefully making videos and continuing to try and preserve these ideals as a player. Thank you to everyone who has shown me a lot of love during my time as Lead Developer and believing in what I have to say. I've learned A LOT from Lord of The Craft and I think I have become a better person because of it. Much love from, The Pathmaker.

In my opinion, The logo should be centered The "home" button should be changed into "Info" A "Media" button should be added A new, more detailed background should be chosen & the greeting message ("Welcome to Lord of the Craft..") should be changed to something more modest All in all, I'm stoked that changes are happening and love the things added!

It's a shame you didn't acknowledge your bad attitude. This thread /is/ trying to motivate players to come back to the TS and what are these new features you're mentioning? Gamevox? That's irrelevant right now, we're talking about TS!

You know the answer to this question and it's much more polite to word it "I don't think many people use LoTC TS and I don't think they will." In any case, it's worth a shot - It always is when it comes down to bringing people together.

The roleplay that goes on within these restricted magic groups is without a doubt some of the most engaging on the server. The atmosphere, community and history each of these groups has created is what will always remain most valuable and no amount of plugins could threaten that. It's not about the spells and I'm sure you guys know that. I just want to remind each of you that what you have cannot be broken if you stick to what you know and love. There can always be an explanation in role-play and I encourage you guys to keep an open mind when it comes to these spells. I'm personally going to thinking about this a lot because I've read every page of this thread and I want everyone to be happy. PM me on the forum if you'd like, thanks!

Greetings friends, Today I bring news of a new red name on the horizon, walking toward us all with a seasoned look in his eyes. This man is Firespirit44, he wants to be here and he wants to help. (He will be leading the GM team and helping us figure out the most effective ways to ensure LoTC continues to be a even more fun place to play.) In other news, we've hit 1,000,000 forum posts ! To celebrate this I'm going to hide some trinkets and random goods around the main-road through out the week. (Chest-Access will bet set to allow, don't worry!) inb4 finally

This is a bug with pass-through flags not communicating well with the protected plots, we'll be freeing up many areas of the mainland asap

The fifth soulstone was for the Wandering Wizard I was super surprised in how well this was edited, illustrated and narrated. I'm proud to be apart of what it was made for.

Noted Trolololol has trololol'd

The large regions are mostly free build and have regions for region-flags. Some are claimable some aren't, the smaller regions are claimable plots but keep in mind this image doesn't accurately depict the plots, they're larger and more numerous. (I just didn't want to reveal the actual plots because meta)

Tythus will be gone 15th+ on a family reunion trip and we need him for the switch, we figured we'd release it sooner rather than later - hope you understand @Sorsean: Any previous date I mentioned was next to the words "Maybe, Hopefully, etc"!

"Hail !" I bring you news of our new map "Athera" which is our fourth large map intended for years of play. Here are some the features in this new map, -The mainland is mostly free-build [Aside from spawn & the racial cities.] -Scattered around the mainland are plots of claimable land that will notify you upon entry and can be protected if you have enough members. [Town & Residence pillars] -Beyond the mainland is minecraft-terrain that does not have claimable plots or protected land of any kind. [You can build here though.] -There is a quick tutorial area that you visit when you first log-in. -All of the Thales plugins will be present in Athera. -A few tweaks & changes to existing rules. [Which will be posted in a few days.] Many of these new implements were made to remove the reliance on GM's and make the rules more clear. I very much look forward to roleplaying much more in-game, seeing the GM team roleplaying more and witnessing how the map changes over time. **Details about the lore side of the map will unfold as events unfold over this week.** An RP trailer and OOC server video are both nearly complete, there is a chance that these may not be posted until a week or so after release because we kept feeding the MT more lore & information. [Alot of work has gone into these videos, it will be worth the wait.] Use this switch as an opportunity to start new, with a fresh idea of the server and it's players - forget about who's behind the screen and genuinely give those you come across a good time. It's worth it! Thanks for reading. RELEASE DATE, AUGUST 13th, 2014 SEE YOU THERE! inb4 "finally.."

That's one way to do it, I'll give you that - but from the beginning I thought we made ourselves clear that we would take as long as necessary when making this new map. [There's quite a few people encouraging that idea in those threads aswell!] In my updates I gave dates that I would've liked to meet but things come up when everyone who "works" here is a volunteer, receives no pay and isn't in an office building. We take a lot of heat for our choices and after having last month be one of the best months in years in terms of donations I think we must be doing something right. Expect the final 4.0 update from me, early next week and thank you for the concern. [Really, you wouldn't be so concerned if you didn't love LoTC and that's a good thing]
