Genuinely helpful dude, +1 no doubt!

Congratulations! 

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

So in other words you'll "add" The Wilds? I must admit I was really confused, because I've been all around the maps borders, and have yet to find any expansive wilds. I feel like there are ruins and such everywhere, and no where for me to settle down (I want to be like in the middle of the wilds). I thought I was going to find expansive wilds to the south, but I ran into a border before I could land on that island.

Is there a region map in the works? It would help alot.

And congratualtions on a great opening for the new world, it's amazing! :)

Hey guys!

Are there any updates to be had? :)

Err, exactly when did all this with the portal take place? I thought everything was going down at the port-city?

 

This isn't just a fantastic trailer but an amazing lore introduction for those wanting to join the server!

Indeed. This is really useful for some of my friends who recently joined the server. It is, however, just as useful for me. I've been gone for some time (left before the fall of Aegis), and I've been thinking that THIS is exactly what I need.

I really like the trailer/"this-happend-in-the-last-season" style. I also like how the video is somewhat like the Dragon Age 2 cutscenes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yoi5jpG5uA). It's a style that I really can appreciate, and it's really effective when you're trying to convey large amounts of information in a limited timespan.

Unlike many I had no issues hearing what the narrator said, and in no way did I find the music overpowering.

Good job guys!

Looking great! Will VIP-plots be up and running by the release?

Your plot and minas carry over, regardless of how we decide to approach it. What I mean is if people like the idea of pre-made houses to prevent clutter, then we will do it. Also minas might take 1 week+ to activate to give time for non-VIPs to not be overwhelmed by the influx of cash.

Are we talking about our current minas count? As I (and many others) spent the 20k Diamond VIP minas on items I really feel like we should be reimbursed somehow?

I donated formost to support the server, but I'd by lying if I said I didn't have the perks in mind when making the decision of donating. Now if one if these perks will be "withdrawn" I think it should be removed from the perk list.

You get what I mean? :)

Wiping skills are, in a way, good seeing as the skills has been exploited quite much recently. I get really annoyed when I see a lot of people running around with like level 70 swordsmanship -_-

If we're loosing all our items the least I want is to get my 20k minas back (Diamond VIP)... Otherwise you should take away that donation bonus, seeing as you'll take away the 20k minas from older VIPs while the new ones will get it.

Anyone get what I'm talking about?

I personally think a good way to stop random abandoned buildings to stop popping up in the wilds is to, one, enlarge the areas of land the kingdoms have(which will also be better for roleplaying purposes as well ) which I am pretty sure they are already thinking about doing, and two, in order for a town or manor(single houses) to be founded properly you must go up to your racial leader or a GM and tell them where and what you are planning to build.This will not only be a way to reduce random buildings, but also help roleplay run more smoothly, as it is easier to find an/or recruit for towns if said town can be found more easily and is also known to leaders within the world. The server could be trawled every once in awhile to find any random structures, and after three days, the house will be torn down, its materials popped into a chest for the time being, and after a two week or so waiting period for a claim, the chest's contents will then become public domain, which may or may not be fought for in a tournament style brawl.

That will also put a lot of pressure and work on the GMs/Faction leaders, imagine the amount of houses that will be built...

Villain apps are BACK!

Yeah, but they've messed up pretty bad considering the fact that they're accepting apps the very same day they were posted, when there's still like 5 pages before those posts that deserves being checked.

You need to get lucky to get accepted, I guess. Or become buddy with a gm ;)

Has lag been solved yet?

Autoclicker you say? Someone deserves to have their @ss handed to them...

If he wants to worship a squid, let him worship a damn squid. Change names accordingly and work it into the lore however the GMs see fit. It doesn't matter how long he's been on the server, if he wants to take initiative from day one, let him. This sort've thing should be encouraged, not blackballed, so long as it's developed correctly.

This server's entire foundation is loosely rooted in the works of Tolkien and I've seen plenty of other fantasy references in-game that are far less subtle. Winterfell, Tyrion Lannister (no offense), various elves, dwarves and halflings with names directly transferred from Lord of the Rings.

Tweak the names and concepts into something unique and roll with it dude. We need more cults and wierdos running around, biting ink sacs and raging.

Welcome back Avalier, and congratz for getting to keep all your limbs! Also, having the two worlds at the same time is a great solution.

By the way, how do I set my Group to Diamond VIP?

Bumping the question:

So, we are going to get a new continent/area then? Is there a chance that the donator plots could be taken with us? I mean, can my grand estate be moved along?

If not, about when is this going to happend? I don't feel like spending days on building a estate that I'll have to tear down 2 weeks later.

Sorry for bothering you guys with this, but it's kind of important.

I love how all little ponielovers are crying their eyes out because they read something meant to be informational as something else

I sure hope Availer is alright, I don't feel like going to Libya and get him home myself :P

Also, Vaq, take the time you need to release update and such... you've got a personal life like everybody else (I hope, for you sake :P)

I don't think any cities should carry over. It'll be too much work, fitting them into the new world. I would say, let everyone start with no money, no items, but maybe keep skills, depending on whether characters will carry over to the new world lore-wise.

That sounds really, really bad seeing as alot of us VIPs paid alot of $ to get minas...

Looks really good, now I don't have to part with my cobblestone

Spoilers pl0x Native?

+1 on that!

I'd say that creating two worlds would be best. The major cities and constructions could be transferred to the new world, and the players would be let to retrive the items they want to bring to the new world.

Let's say they can have a week or two to transfer their items, and then we just delete the old world.

That way the server would be pretty much the same, but with 1..8 update.

YES, TRANSFER CHEST, ALL VIPS GET ONE LARGE CHEST TO GET TRANSFERRED

I have about 5 full large chests of cobblestone and several other chests with vaulables that I'd like to keep, so only one large chest for us donators is kind of lame!
