Sounds awesome ^^ Can never go wrong with a smaller map

For everyone saying the server was glorious back in Aegis without knockout...it really wasn't.

 

It just seems that way because of nostalgia and people harking on about it all the time.

 

It wasn't all dandelions and roses.

It really, really was ^^

Events are what made lots of people log in, and some players event AREN'T logging in due to the lack of events, bring them back please. :)

>.> I didn't find it as good as last years :P Still good though

Small bit of information for you guys here, as we're now keeping you up to date on even the smallest changes.

 

After much discussion within the staff over the past while, it was decided that all bans will now have a minimum guideline time. We will not make these publicly available, but they are known by all staff members. In addition to this, bans for types of hacking are now not permanent bans but will result in severe punishment - this is because we feel that a permanent ban as a result of a player using a modified client once is not worthy of being banned forever - however, bans for hacking are the longest of any kind (other than permabans).

 

Bans for pugsy'ing, cybering, paedophilia, necrophilia and bestiality remain permanent bans with no chance of an appeal.

 

And in addition to that - all bans now equate to a single strike, regardless of their length. If a user reaches 5 strikes they will receive a six month ban. If they receive a strike after they are unbanned they receive a permanent ban.

 

Cheers,

The LOTC Staff

People actually do that? o.O

If you worldedit all the trees to brown wool, then back to tree blocks they appear as natural blocks and don't decay ^^

Yes <3

But seriously, Ever has been here for so long and done so much stuff. He's genuine and helpful so <3 yes

((Damnit, was able to go to this until it was put forward, 4PM = 9PM in europe :P))
 

Ever, mac's can't unRAR D;

But anyway, this looks like it took a lot of effort, congrats :p

((RP, y u no accomidate non-americans D:))

((I can host a training session for any of the people who have strange times or live in Australia))

((That would be nice, I live in GMT + 0 (england) and it is extremely difficult to get involved in anything due to the very late times ^^))

Congrats everyone, recognize four out of five of them ^^

seeing as I've looked into this before, I'll make this simple and say no one owns LotC in any legal manner that a court would uphold.  The closest thing is that some of the Staff Members' names are on the Forum and Server hosting contracts, so they are the only one who would be legally recognized in any court as any sort of owner.

 

Hope that answers your question.

Someone did buy the copyright to the server though, so I would of thought the holder of it would be the owner :p

Just started wondering, because of the recent email list being sent out, who is the actual legal owner of the server?

I was under impression it was Vaq/Availer because of the fact that they copyrighted and owned the server before, and that Availer had an owner tag on him before he was kicked off the team in the past and the forum said at the bottom owned by Availer before it started saying "Hosted by legendary craft" and then nothing.

For example on what I mean: If person A owns 60% of a share in a company and person B owns 40%, but person B is active and the other (A) vanishes person B doesn't have the ability to take the share.

I understand that the Admins are in charge and Availer/Vaq don't seem to really care much if they own this server now, but I was wondering who in legal  terms is the owner?

This isn't about the rightful owner or anything, Just wondering who is the Legal owner.

((Next time, Oren should not be involved so it is fairer on the orcs, more challenging for the dwarves and an overall much more enjoyable event for both parties.))

((Can't quite see how that is fairer, The Dwarves managed to make Allies in RP, who would go in RP. If the orcs want a farer fight go corrupt/ally/mercenary some people to help fight for you))

((War isn't fair, and never has been.))

So rather than have a central island with No-RP killing allowed, you are all ok with us simply removing VA rules there instead? As mentioned in the OP, either way there will still be lore regarding it. This is a change that can easily be made.

Yes

I claim copyright to that idea! xD

The idea was suggested in Aegis, and the majority of people wanted it who I talked to back then.

As long as there is some part of RP involved pre fighting, I.E an area where you don't need villain apps to fight but still need some part of RP, its okay.

((why does this have to be at 5? I'll still be in school :( ))

((If it was much later a lot of the GMT players would miss it, Its currently 10PM GMT when a lot of the players get off around 9-11, I've got to go at 10 D:))

Kuran sighs at the announcmen, clenching his wound...

"Ah never should of g'un ta' te' deserts tu' luk fer ta' survivers, t'en ah would be able tu' 'elp slay tu' m'unsters from ta' w'urld!"

OOC: Shame its to late to come, Its 10PM here in England :I

Welcome back :)

"Kuran sighs, hearing of the strong reactions from everyone else and rips down the sign.

Te' tree'uggers takin' te' ore and te' ot'ers stan' un watch..."

((Thread Locked due to the note being removed))

*A sign hangs outside of the fortress of the Dwarves, in strong Dwarven writing*

(Due to it being writing, and I'm not sure if accents should apply to it)

"Fellow Dwarves, we have lost our way, the humans now take us to be there Slaves! Earlier one came up to me, a poor dwarf... skinny from my lack of food and unable to wave my pick, but this man took advantage, he threw a strange meat at me, it tasted terrible and he started to laugh, he had tried to murder me... and after a long time of asking for his name, encouraged thanks to a stranger in armour he gives me his name, "Lord Regent William of Oren and the lands you are on"

The humans think we be fools, that we are slaves at there command, this alliance is sour... to lead us into false hope that we may be safe from the attacks coming, the Humans will kill us, take our Steel and push it to our necks. We must stand against this before it is to late, stop the trade with the humans or overprice it! before we can't defend against ourselves."

But worse, When mining with another dwarf we failed to find much iron, only about seven or so peaces after days upon days of mining... 'tis a sad day when a dwarf finds no ore, however I think I 'ave found te' cause of 'tis!

A horrid tree, a disgrace to mines stand under the ground, deep in our mines... how a tree like that could exist is far beneath me, the water seemingly appearing from the rock itself, the elves must of done this! They corrupt our mines and spite us by living on our cliffs!

We must stand back from these two races, whenever we see them, before they destroy us!

I lead another Dwarf to this spot, Farren who can also say he saw the Elven tree in our mines!

-Kuran"

Character Name:

Kuran (Wow name generated name)

Character Race:

Dwarf

Kuran was a child with many brothers and sisters, there family had the idea that if they had more sons, they could mine more! and that meant more goods and riches for them all, there parents where heavily racist. The family was almost destroyed hundreds of years ago in the wars with the Orcs, and so the father passed on there Ideas, Grandparent to parent, parent to son. There motives carried on for a long line of generations.

"Remember son" his father said "When trading, charge cheapest for our Clan, then the rest of the dwarves. But raise it for the humans and damn the Elves and Orcs, take all te' money of 'em"

However, a season after his father had taught him the trade, he was starving and so was the clan. The extortionate prices drived there customers away and they could not afford to feed themselves, sure they had there Diamonds, but there cheapest prices for Dwarves out of the clan where to high anyway!

And so they grew week, unable to mine or feed themselves. There Dwarven greed turned against them

Kuran however disobeyed his father, and sold a few diamonds of theres for a cart of bread... to the elves, his father was furious and banished him from the clan. "Yer a disgrace te' us all, ye' sold cheap... and te' the bloody elves" where his fathers last words, his father chucked the smallest loaf of bread at him and burnt the cart before his eyes

"I would rather starve than eat this... elven disgrace fer food" his father said.

And so Kuran was sent of into the world, with just his pickaxe and waraxe with no money to help him... and of cause the small loaf of bread.

"Elf lover ye' are, Kuran te' Elf lover, come back the honorable way I taught ye' or don't come back at all" where his fathers last words as he left to try and regain his honor and prove worthy to his clan

The ideas his father had taught him while he was young where still deep in his mind, and he trusted them. But he didn't want to see his clan starve...

"I... I had te'" He shouted back, however his father had turned back and had started to walk away already.

What are your characters ambitions?: To raise a Dwarven family and keep there goods and money inside of the family, getting richer while watching the other races be ripped off in order to prove that he is a true member of his clan and not an "elf lover" (racism, not villainy)

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:

This character has a lot of focus on the two dwarf characteristics

Greed and Hotheadedness

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?

Kuran approaches the poor Dwarf, staring down towards him

"Don't try te' sell te' these lot, they look down on us they do." Kuran said

"I... I am to poor te' leave this city" The dwarf said "And some of these humans... they are my freinds"

Kuran starts to chuckle

"Humans, freinds. They would quash ye with a boot te' gain yer money if ye 'ad any" He goes closer to the poor dwarf, going to grab at his tunic"

He was to hot headed, to stubbon to stop his urge to preasure his idea's upon the dwarf, he took none of it in as he stepped back further behind his stall out of reach

Kuran lowered his hands, pushing some food off of the mans stall as he left

"Yer a traitor te' our kind" he said

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?

He stares up at the huge orc, going to grab at his axe however he starts to think deeper, the orc was a big brute, stronger than him and taller, but a trader like Kuran had been taught to use his mind as well as his muscle looking around he spots a small hole under a hill near the road... a brute like an orc wouldn't fit in... yet he might.

And this was a Dwarf... one of his own kind, he had to help.

"Yer as dumb as yer axe is sharp orc" He shouts up at the Orc

The giant muscly Orc turns around, gripping his axe as he goes to stare at Kuran

"Little beast... dare... challenge Uruk"

Kuran Backs away towards the hole he found, trying to hide it from the Orc's sight

The orc, who turned out unable to see it advanced towards him, the dwarf he had possibly saved started to scurry off

"Uruk... weak..." Kuran said, in a tone made to sound like the orcs voice, trying to agravate it

The orc started to advance towards him as Kuran jumped off the road, climbing inside the hole as the orc swings his axe at the earth, unable to get at Kuran

"Dwarf... coward" The orc said as he starts to walk away

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:

Kuran smirks, an easy chance for money... he turns towards a tree branch as he starts chopping at it, until he gets a small stick.

"T...Thank you" The old man said

"No... your money fer te' stick" Kuran smirks, an easy chance for the money

The old man, frail and weak seemed unable to walk without the aid, and was forced to comply to the trade.

Kuran then takes the mans money, smirking from the easy trade as he throws the stick at the ground

"Weak human..." he says, laughing

Banned because I was permbanned

"1UP"

Sounds good... Apart from vaults.

How does throwing money half the way around the world make sense. And killing any theft/robberyRP at the same time.

Banned for having a cute cat pic <3
