I was told I could continue playing my harbinger as a weak lich-type creature that had a bloodshard as a phylactery, under the condition that destruction of the bloodshard would mean permadeath.

Shrug. If I had known that my character would get the middle finger later for doing this, i'd have avoided it. Too late now.

 It makes sense to me now. It's like you're verbally saying it. "April first, 2014" -> 4/1/14. I'd prefer the other way though, simply because I like the hierarchy of units. 

It makes a little bit of sense, but I just...

I still can't get over how silly the American date system is.

A single note is left in return

"Elves in general don't despise Malin nor Malinor, they despise the Malinorian way of life."

Any, doesn't really matter if you use one with a radar or not since there's not really a way to moderate it. There used to be a way to disable radars server-side but I don't know if it still works.

There really aren't any "illegal" features a clientside mod can give (hacked clients are different, obviously). 

I use VoxelMap (download here)

Beth asks a fellow Mali'ker to scribe her reply, both of them exchanging exasperated glances as they construct a reply.

1. Not really. United in placidity maybe. Our kin get slaughtered on the roads daily by our supposed allies, but because they aren't High Elves, nobody seems to care.

2. Because it destroys who we are as a culture and people. If you allow interbreeding to occur, then within several generations we'll be nothing more than "Mud Elves" with various shades of mucky brown skin (not nice brown like Woodies have!) and our cultures and ancestry will be lost.

3. Perhaps, for their own good. Pure elves have enough trouble in life anyways, elves do not need more burdens upon them.

4.  Better military. The elsillumir are a farce. True, they are efficient at keeping order within our people, but their combat prowess is extremely lacking. They can be beaten by peasants with pitchforks.

The reply is tacked by the others.

The animal chosen by the shapeshifter is picked during the process of learning shapeshifting. It's similar to imprinting - the shifter will mock the form of the chosen animal.

Ok, thanks for the information! 

28th...

A shapeshifting druid may only shift into one animal form throughout his or her entire life as the lore stands currently. Whether it be a chipmunk or horse, the individual shapeshifter will take on the same form every time he or her shifts. 

Is this form a conscious choice, or up to some other variable?

Shapeshifting is a hidden secret in the Order and very few druids know it exist, let alone are able to use it. It is very rarely taught, and when it is, it is to those who have shown complete and devout loyalty to the Order over their career as a druid. I guess you could say in fewer words, "druids who have earned it." Shapeshifting is a complete shift from humanoid to animal form and is not illusion by any means. 

I assume the Druid retains their memory and sentience for obvious reasons.

Can a Druid who has knowledge of Shapeshifting shift into the form of any animal, or is it their totem animal, or is there some process to learn certain animal's forms? If any of this information is classified or secret, I don't mind not being told.

Edit: Actually, it can't be their totem, I just realized that after typing it. I'm dumb.

Is Druidic Shapeshifting a forgotten art, essentially unlearnable? Also, is it Illusion magic that changes your form, or actual physical shapeshifting that changes your biological makeup?

Again, besides the obligatory "make a tree" spell, I don't know if there's any Druidic magic plugin spell that won't be totally reproducible by a conjuration mage. Most of the spells in it have it's effecting blocks revert to normal after the spell effect hits.

Druidic magic's spells are pretty permanent unless stated otherwise.

I suppose a fitting response would be asking if you get a kick out of pissing off the magic role-players and groups who've been trying to do this for three years now on their own - giving them a plugin despite all its work, is not what they want at all - and instead potentially opens up a whole new can of worms as far as mechanical combat abuse goes with 'open' learning by sitting AFK while on a block of ice.

It's not what they want at all

I thought the general consensus was "We're not use in wars and conflicts, we want a mechanical representation for our magic". That's literally what you're getting.

To be honest, if you're, say, a Druid RP'er, then it's likely you spend 99% of your time in a forest biome anyway, so you can literally learn magic as you RP. Same goes for Necromancers, they usually hang around in mycelium/hell biomes, Shamans in deserts, etc. 

The only thing I find as bad is that it's based on meditating over land. Void don't work like that.

Yeah, it does. You just need to use your imagination. Best place to observe ice is a tundra, best place to observe wind is on a windy mountaintop, etc.

I look forward to seeing how people attempt to abuse this open plugin in future endeavors within a PvP default, raid-esque environment.

Do you get a kick out of being a pessimist all the time?

I hope there's some wood 'gems' for Druids and the like, not all mages use gemstones in their staves!

1. Be either in character or following a narrative of some description.
2. Not contain the thoughts of a character unless it's part of a narrative story.
3. Not be by an anonymous, non-existent character.
4. Not be purely OOC unless it's asking for clarification on something in the post.
5. Not be a 'First' or '+1' post. We have a +1 button on posts for that! You're allowed to give critique or feedback in addition to a RP post, though!
6. Abide by roleplay chat rules that are enforced ingame (Metagaming, Powergaming, etc.)

Failure to follow these rules once will simply result in your post being hidden. Multiple infractions of the rules will result in verbal warnings, and eventually warning points. 

What does this mean, and why the change?

Roleplay posts recently, and for the longest time, have been plagued with thinly-veiled OOC jabs, trolling, and general bad sportsmanship through minimal effort RP. FM's have been handing out punishments for this, but, punished players have been complaining that such behavior isn't really covered by the forum rules. So, these are the rules governing RP posts.

The new rules will likely be integrated into the true Forum Rules next time they're updated.

Overall, it's pretty simple, just keep it in roleplay.

Wiki and Gallery button PLS.

I like the one we have now, but if you can make that sticky thing optional i'd love that.

Also as Adam said above... they essentially have their wiki incorporated into their website. Why can't we do that?

EDIT: Do we even have a wiki anymore? There's no links to it anywhere.

EDIT2: Nevermind, it's under the application header. Why?
