That is quite sad, being as ultra-conservative will be the thing that lands it in the shelf if anything. Sadly, if the magic remains the same and close to the other holy magic in nature and use what is the point of having separate magics for each diety and not one blanket magic with different patrons such as D&D which from what I am aware each rewrite was made to avoid such a thing happening though I could be wrong. You can make a magic unique and to the point without being overpowered or convoluted, especially with lore available to work with already. It might not be the popular thing to do, but you can't include everyone's voice and opinion if you want to achieve such, you can only do your best to try and work what they want in and what would be practical and good for the lore.

While I'm glad you managed the rewrite, other than a few changes and rewording the magic remains almost if not basically the same as it was. Yes, the disconnection issue was fixed though I still find that it remains empty from what I was aware of was the point of rewriting the magic. That was to give it uniqueness and identity that separated it from the other holy magic, and while I understand that it is the religion that keeps it such the magic seems to do what the others already accomplish. War clericalism seems hashed down and shell of what it could be, still leaning on what the Ascended coined with Aengulic fire, and borrowing from Xan's arsenal of manifesting weapons. I know this is due to the fact of healing also being the main viable option but the fix of that would be just splitting the sub-types giving way to a more in-depth character development. As well I am still confused as to the remaining sub-type of the "rituals and Collectives" which seems to be a watered down version of Divine warden which makes what should be a magic that seeks things out stagnant in certain terms though I am glad not to the extent of its inspiration. Though I have more so disconnected myself from the cleric player base and just ranting on lore that I had quite enjoyed and the possibilities it could of held, good job on getting it finished and I wish ya'll luck with it.

From an outside understanding it’s not that they didn’t kill off their character it’s that they took no consequence from the actions that lead to their death and kept pushing forward acting fine and dandy like nothing went wrong. Would you like someone throwing off something you worked hard for because they didn’t care for consequences of their actions? Then again this being a server turned to a play pen where everything is wrapped in foam and everyone gets a gold star it’s not far off to say this has become the norm.

This magic can be very much a supportive or purely rp role to be fair if you actually read it. It all depends what sub type of Druidism you use, it’s mix with herblore is a very good example of such. But then being just pvp is a server issue and not a lore issue, as well as I have stated if anyone actually tried to role play with the two they’d find it much more easier to grasp then just complaining oocly and ruining a good magic like they have many other. But that has and always will be my thought on the matter, but hey I’m just used to heavily monitored role play and things being more closed off unless worked for to achieve.

It still confuses me why people believe everything should be spread around and made to be overly used and for the public. Why can’t something be unique and rare, and not wide spread? Have either or anyone for that matter try to approach either Cam or mitto for the use of the magic through role play means or just complained oocly that it’s circle jerked? Believe me if there was anyone who’d teach something if you actually approached them and role played with them to learn it’d be those two, hell cam even tried to give clerics blood magic before. But no let’s make everything free use to preserve people’s fun and so that everyone can be special.

I haven't had a chance to tinker with the new update as of yet, it seems my woodworking is screwed in terms of arrows but my bows and blacksmithing are slightly better. Either way it seems enjoyable compared to the hours of craft timers for certain things. The community needs to realize how hard coded nexus is into the server, like it basically runs mostly all the other plugins if I am not mistaken and if it were to be removed without a lot of reworking almost everything else would be butchered. Chill out and give them some time, it's not like they're paid for what they do and if you have that much of an issue with how they spend their time that's voluntary, go learn how to code yourself.

Can I still inquire as to why Zarsies and Cameron were left out even though the other two have been readded? You explained why Phil and Will were readded, but not why the other two were not?

Sadly I was told to avoid any wards like such that you have written by a few LM's while shopping ideas for my rewrite, I wish you luck though.

The fact that everyone's answer to the issue of war clericalism is become a paladin is fairly sad, it is sad because that eludes to the fact you view it as just a "magic" and not a way of life to be role played. Tahariae and Xan have very separated goals and things that they ask their followers to live by. That would be the same as telling a shaman to get rid of freygoth, denounce the spirits, and become a Druid. It's not simply a magic; its character structure, its a way of life, it's a set of guidelines, it's not just some random magic that can just be swapped for the hell of it.

I agree with you on the fact that one should changed should the other be better but at the same time an agreement was came to that if a rewrite were to happen one would not take away from the other and if this became an issue that it would have to be separated once more. On the topic of clerics being healers, it is a vague term used in game and fiction and though commonly are such it can differ. The fact is on LoTC for most clerics, it's not the magic that comes with it but the deity which draws us in. You are right we very well could go make a Paladin, but Xan has a lot of different ideals and values than Tahariae. What makes me passionate about playing a cleric is the structure that the character has to follow more than the magic. The hunting down of dark magic users and seeking out taint in the name of god and the role play that comes with where as Xan is about keeping the natural world order(could be worded better).
