I think that this would be a risky move, as these 4 nations have been on all of the maps in one way or another as base nations. This is what is perceived to keep all four races kind of bunched up in their own lands, and what I assume is an attempt to keep a somewhat healthy population in each race/nation's rp. If say, the human population was split into 3 nations then there may be a large split in rp for the humans, which would either cause everyone to move to one nation anyways, or get bored and go with a more centralized race. I think getting rid of the idea of a base nation capital for each race would be interesting, but it has the opportunity to lead to terrible results.

*A Strange Note Appears at the Footstep of the Geminine Manor* *It has the letter A imprinted upon it* ~To whom it concerns~ My name is Alianor Geminine. You may or may not know me as the last person to lead the Geminine house before my strange disappearance. I would first like to state that this is not an attempt to regain my title, nor an attempt to rejoin the workings of politics or to really leave the state I am in. As of now I rest with my daughter and my wife in a cabin out in the wilderness. I apologize I had left so suddenly, but the stress of politics and putting my life on the line was too often and too much. I only wish to write you this, almost as a final goodbye. I do not plan to show up once more, in the busy life of the city, as this was never my plan for life. I had only ever wanted to fish my life away, and bed random women in my fishing shack, but as the Geminine house began to deteriorate, life had other plans. I was dragged into the role of leadership for the Geminines, made the count of Simonia, and given the task of trying to put together the Geminine house once more. After a long bit of life, with my son and myself, I had finally done a bit to reunite the Geminine house, but after a few years, it had deteriorated once more. In that time I had become a Grand Justice (Although there really was no workload with that occupation), and this is when my life, and the life of my family had become threatened. I did not plan to leave, but the death threat that I had received had made me decide that enough was enough. As a final thought before I go, I wish you all luck. Remember the errors of the past, remember that maintaining a house will be tough, but if done well, I know you will do the Geminines proud. Now I must be off, as I said I would return to the cabin soon. Please do not try and find me, as I enjoy my life now. I am now living the life I had always wanted to live. I will wish you all a farewell, and best wishes in your future endeavors, from one Geminine, to another. ~Ser Grand Justice Alianor Geminine~ ~Alianor Geminine~ ((As all characters do, this one must come to an end. This being my first human character I was unsure of how it would turn out, but I was not disappointed. Since I had had bouts of inactivity, I figured this character has missed too much to be relevant anymore (Plus I am not sure if I am to become active now, I don’t hate the server or anything. I just burnt myself out, it’s a great server, I just can’t do too much of one thing for a long time.. I get bored.). Anyways, thanks to everyone who made this character memorable, I would make a list of all who did… but I don’t really want to.))

((As of now that is the official Oren family to Oren law, as Chloe came back, but there is quite a bit of rp going on revolving that as of now. xD Kathryn is a different person.))

Not much is known about the early times of the Geminine family. Our history is started at the two brothers known as Simon Geminine and Aliestor Geminine. Simon Geminine had one day decided to wed Muriel Geminine, and in order to carry his bloodline, he had a few children, three brothers to be exact. Simon was not a very good man.. many would say he was a bit worthless.. but nonetheless he continued the tree. Geminine house rose as a very small house in Ildon, much of the family hearing they had a bit of a standing there, doing odd bannerman jobs and growing as a house under liege of house Elendil, a lot of the family began showing up there. As a child, Alianor Geminine was ran out of his home in Salvus, his father dying in battle, and his mother missing(Presumed dead). Alianor found himself in Ildon, where Merek was taking position of Baron of Ildon. After many years, Merek decided to step down from his position of baron, and allowed Aliestor to take his place. After much time, house Geminine wanted to be freed from their liege under house Elendil, to settle land of their own. After much consideration, Artorus allowed them to do so, and they settled in the land of Simonia, which is in the southernmost part of Westfall. Aliestor had always been rather friendly with a lot of women,and many of his children are thought to be among us. After 5 years of running the newly settled land of Simonia, Aliestor passed suddenly,and with nobody stepping into position of charge, Ser Alianor Geminine took it upon himself to take charge of Simonia, and start the noble lineage from himself,where he one day plans to give power to his son, Taron Geminine. Upon moving to the The Isle of Elysium Alianor has taken position as the Grand Justice of Oren, and the known part of the family rests in the manor in Oren.

I must say that I very much enjoy the amount of freedom we have now as rpers. If there is anything I would say keep it how it is. Just maybe restrict the land-claim game a little bit. I would just prefer not to have regions everywhere like we did in Asulon.

Although I see your motives behind taking away some of the Iron VIP perks, but I am slightly irritated. I have taken some time to cool down, and I hope that I can speak my opinion without starting a flame war, but if it happens, I apologize. Firstly, I feel as if we had had this for a very long time, too long to lose it. I remember back in Aegis, on a Wolverine base outside of Kal'Urgan, we had all decided we would buy Iron VIP as it would greatly help us in bringing in new recruits. Nonetheless, had it not been for LWC, as much as I love this server, I would not have donated. Secondly, I understand the argument to complaining about loss of perks is that these are donations, and we should receive the perks as gifts, but take away the gifts and I believe the amount of people donating would be much less. I went to Wikipedia and looked up the definition of Gift. Gift - A gift or a present is an object given without the expectation of payment. So I believe that renders that argument invalid. Thirdly, now that we see that the perks are not gifts, but instead something given for payment, how do we know if our payments will last another year? What if it is decided that only $100 donors should receive certain aspects of LWC or that they should only get NPC's. The point being made? I think that people who donated with certain perks in mind, should at least be grandfathered in and retain the perks that they had bought in the past, namely LWC perks, and people donating now should receive the new perks. Apologies if anything comes of as a flame, as this was not at all intended. This is just what I think about the new Donation perks.

As an Iron VIP there are a few commands to do with LWC that I have lost access to, as have a few other people I have heard. Commands that are still able to be used. /cprivate /cinfo /lwc owners Commands I have tried and their responses. /cmodify - Access denied /cremove - Access denied /cpassword - Access denied I am unsure of if this problem is being addressed or not, I just wanted to make sure it was known. :) I just checked the newsletter, although as an iron VIP I will still need /cremove.
