@Junar @Florensics Cheers to you guys, gives me the chills! 😁 Phenomenal.

Hey Proddy, it may be case-sensitive? Could you try it with capitalizations? Thanks, I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work.

Farmer Billy solemnly straightens out amidst a field of taters and wheat. He wipes a burly arm across his moist eyes and utters into the skies, “Mey yer pokkets bey ulwehs fill wiff teyturs lad…”

Somewhere, a lonesome muddied farmer wipes beads of sweat off his brow as he sits on sun-baked stones. He reaches for his trusty wooden hoe and grunts as he stands, his fingers curling over the worn handle. He hums and hobbles over the field, his eyes laden with a new direction. His bones can already feel the excitement, but the illiterate farmer knows not why.

Ridiculously good, this has got to be illegal. I’m fuming! Awesome combination of music and cinematic shots, great use of shaders and smooth & professional camera work. I wonder if the music use will cop a takedown claim… though I hope not. Great way to incorporate characters from the nation into it as well—I will enter this as a submission for the Homeland Highlights

Talking to people is a good step arockstar, one that we both do quite often, but it’s different from the people who are consistently online, the vibe on the game server of the regulars is pretty removed from what you’d see on the forums or in private discords or convos. We both know this, so I think the assessment is unclear especially as it there are many communities on LotC and no one person is connected to all of them.

Definitely left-field there, if you’ve logged on in the last few months at all you wouldn’t be parroting the ol’ “community” line. We’re implementing it because we’re a server with a wide age range & we realize the use-cases for the people who requested this change but also the wider community as well. We haven’t had a good filter in a long long time and I’m going to introduce it in stages so that it has minimal impact on ongoing RP. It should be operational by next month but it will be running on the server gathering data starting today/tomorrow.

Messages are not filtered ? so call your friend whatever you both like lol Also, the filter does not warn mods it just cancels the message so no threat of ban.

Seeing this reminds me that I am so happy that @TheBelidle redid Farmer Billy Bob’s model, look at this handsome farmer. Don’t you want a piece? ?

sorry I didn’t catch that, can you say that louder for us in the back?

Hello everyone, It’s been a bit since the last update on the tech situation so I wanted to fill you in, and like we talked about in the last LotC Podcast I made sure to complete the chat filter as well. Every time you fix something it seems to pave the way for other issues to show up, and so over the last week or so we had these strange EU moments where the server would bizarrely grind to a halt during low player times (80-100 players). These should now be fixed and in addition chunk loading as well should steadily be better (but you should expect that chunk loading during peak times will still be slower). Also… the leftover proxy crashes that happened at random last 2 days may be resolved too though I’m not 100% certain yet. We are going to try reducing the frequency of restarts to preserve precious RP immersion (this is possible as soon we can double or triple the accessible RAM for our main server, yes Tofuus this is OK with the right settings). So far our server is more optimized than it has ever been and almost as stable as we want it (very rare proxy crash is left to fix I think) Look at these numbers! But the server is running at 10-12 tps Telanir… Sure! But not all TPS is created equal, we have eliminated spike lag (which is the kind where you see people moving then stopping… then teleporting, then moving, etc…) and with our current server performance we’ve seen nations hold smooth PVP tourneys during 300+ player count. While the server obviously struggles with this many players, its performance is smooth and predictable, meaning that you will not see anyone teleporting around or exhibiting odd behaviour (unless you have your own internet problems). Given that Minecraft was only ever built to sustain 30 players, I am happy with this result. NANI?! For those of you who remember the infamous NSA plugin of old—NANI?! is a superior chat filter which does not kick or ban players nor slap you with infraction points or broadcast your message to all moderators. NANI?! is an autonomous chat filter which helps ensure our server is a safe environment for all players in our community. In recent times we have had a flood of new applicants (we’re talking 3x as much), many of which are young (and some souls who like spamming [WS]). We believe it is a part of our responsibility as a community to ensure they are joining a safe environment. And, for being such a chat-heavy server—we’ve been missing a chat filter for a while now. Chat filters are annoying and cumbersome but the worst we really get is we’ll have to exercise a bit of restraint for our new young generation who may not be as ready for it as the mature crowd. My chat got flagged but I said nothing wrong… Yeah this is kind of the downside to the early period of chat filtration… moderators will be listening in to flagged word combinations and will actively try to whitelist false-positives. You will be able to click the warning message in order to suggest a replacement for it as well, please do so whenever you see a false-positive as this will help us get the filter out of your way. We will be adjusting the filter to suit the needs of the community as opposed to just trying to block every curse word in existence, but I do ask that you please be mindful of our younger players. Thank you for understanding, it’s an annoying but unfortunately necessary evil. See ya in-game! Tel.

Sick! That is an awesome and atmospheric depiction of the Orcs, good shots of Krugmar and I especially loved the map-hall shot with the orcs nodding in unison. Fav. part was secretly the orc who was shimmying at 2:52 lmao. Well done, I am adding this as a submission to the Homeland Highlights!

Check out the last one linked in the OP to see what it’s all about. It’ll be just like the one two weeks ago and the one two weeks before that. Come support LotC in the stream if you’re able to!
