I have a suggestion for battles and death. Can I receive talk power when this comes up? Thank you.

Brunhyldir nods.

((The contemplative combat was actually a really nice addition to this narrative. I loved it.)) Hearing word of the elven Rex's strength from the Orcs that return from the battle, Brunhyldir leans on his cane. He gives a nod to himself. "Perhapz diz twiggie ahm moah den me toht." The goblin shifts his weight and walks off to a silent hill to meditate. "Me weyl wait until me meet'm... Bud maybeh dare ken be a twiggie Rex and peez, ad da zame tik." The wind shifts, and the goblin's cane taps into the sand lightly. He grunts.

Good job guys. Again, can't wait to see it.

Awesome! Glad I could voice-act for that. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

All these freakin' humans. Breeders. Psh.

Sorry for the double-post. Will be reviewing applications during the weekdays of May 26-28.

I'll be reviewing the applications and contacting those who applied as soon as I can. The google calendar in my signature is a useful tool to approximate my availability. Thanks!

Hey MT. Take a look at this. If you can't view it because you don't have an Instagram account, I'll explain it. It's basically a collage of artwork of a specific character, and a narration of a quote that embodies that character. It's not even done very well, (the voice-acting is pretty bad) but the idea itself has potential. We could do something like this as a small, regular thing on the server, and it would also attract more people to the server. With the amount of people using social media nowadays, this is an excellent idea. We all know that LotC could use a media boost, anyway. Here are some characters that I came up with just off the top of my head (they would still need a quote of some sort): We would have artists draw a sketch of that character (or we would use already existing art of that character) and have a variety of voice-actors narrate a short snippet that summarizes that character, or something that character would say. This could also be done with places, such as the Cloud Temple, the Seven Skies, the islands of Elysium, etc. Then, we would post one of these maybe once or twice a week on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, maybe even on the forums somewhere for people to see. People could request specific people, quotes, places, or artists, or voice-actors. You get the idea. What do you guys think? I put this in the current project subforum because I'm pretty sure we'll be able to do it, but I want to see if anyone is interested first before we start making plans. Thanks!

An inspiring set of words. Glad to read them. I hope that the players read this and absorb some of it -- these words are a great encouragement for the community we have.

After years of being here, something that I've noticed is that the community will always have additions, changes, and features that they'd like to see happen in the Lord of the Craft, but the process to enact these additions, changes, or features is long and often unsuccessful. Of course there are things that I want to see improve in the base of Lord of the Craft. One can look at any of the server idea or community feedback posts and see that; but I wanted to take something into my own hands, and see how far I'd get. There is also the hope that, if this expansion is implemented, the base of the server will grow because of it. I'm opting into the development of the server in my own way. One can try to enact change within the Lord of the Craft through forum post after forum post of excellently posited arguments or reasons why we should add this or that, but this is a creative endeavor that not a lot of players have ever tried to attempt before. As an aspiring game developer, this is a big step for me, whether it is successful or not. Thanks for asking that, Sky. The development team is aware of this. We don't intend to limit the expansion to only humans, and the lore of the campaign itself takes care of that issue.

As far as I know, the staff is indifferent (other than a select few that said the idea was cool or interesting while making an idle comment, more as a player rather than a LotC staff member).

More PvE, actually. There will be PvP aspects, though. There will be. ;)

Hello, everyone. This is BGBuster. For those of you who don't know, I'm currently developing an unofficial expansion for the Lord of the Craft entitled “The Seven Skies”, which will focus on the realm of the Aenguls and Daemons. If you haven't listened to the teaser trailer, go ahead and click the link here. This expansion will work similarly to the end-game raids that Lord of the Craft has had previously, such as the battle against the Undead and Iblees, the presence of the Cultists and Dragons in Asulon, and the battle against Setherien in Anthos. It will either be a large-scale, server-wide raid on the Lord of the Craft itself, or an independent singleplayer “adventure map”. After working on this project for about a year now, I've decided to open up the development to a select few players. The Seven Skies is being developed independently, meaning that this is an unofficial expansion as of now, although players that are a part of the development team may also be members of different staff teams on the server. Once the project is nearing completion, it will be proposed to the official Lord of the Craft staff for review and tentative acceptance to the server. Recently, I made a post revealing the project and prompting potential developers to PM me on the forums. So far, I've had more than a dozen people express interest in the expansion, but a choice few had actually gone through the trial tasks I provided and had a successful interview. With that, I'd like to reveal the members of the 7S development team so far. These are XSKip and cmack1028. XSKip has been a part of this project for quite a while. Not only is he a friend of mine, but he actually helped me to adapt the Seven Skies into a traditional Dungeons and Dragons campaign. At times, he has been much more active on the server than me, and the passion that he has for events and fantasy lore makes him a great addition to the project. cmack1028 has done excellent work for both me and the server in the past, and has proven to be a trustworthy and reliable member of the team. In addition to his creativity, cmack's skills in Minecraft skinning will provide a boost to the visual aspects of the expansion. If you are interested in becoming a part of the development team, I'll tell you that I'm only looking for a select few players. Those of you that strive to make quality content, those of you that wish to pursue a career in video game design or development, those of you with unique specialties such as artwork, animations, music composition, creative writing skills, voice-acting, and more — I'm looking for you. If you already messaged me previously, I still need you to fill out this application. The trial tasks I gave you can be dismissed. The development team will be providing progress updates to the Lord of the Craft community every now and then. For more updates or to ask questions you may have about us or the project, follow us on Twitter, @7SDev, or use the hashtag #sevenskies. --'∆~∆'-- Please fill out the application provided below. As of now, we have a crucial need for the following: Concept artists Developers (raid/Minecraft mechanics, campaign) Lore developers Composers Application Leave your filled application as a reply in this thread. That's all for now! Thank you for your time.

We as a development team understand that and are keeping that in mind.
