watching old warclaim videos makes me wonder where did we go absolutely wrong. being able to mimic this in modern day would be ******* amazing. people spamming shout, rallies coming from their own cities.
This is what we need to return to

The world was smaller and the playerbase was more divided in the past, this kept OOC out of the equation on the grand scale. People fail to play their characters as well when it comes to warclaims recently, as in the last three years. It becomes a question of a player’s skill or ability to lead and how many connections they can exploit. As a result they’ll contort RP to what is their best chance OOCly, because many feel it’s their OOC reputation at stake. If they feel they’re going to lose they’ll cheese pvp build techniques and take advantage of OOC delays and use information gained OOCly to make necessary preparations for the ideal outcome. If they lose it was due to staff corruption, normally. Warclaims were originally made for the sake of participation, and they evolved as players became less and less capable of agreeing on terms or outcomes themselves. Compensation for player behavior and lack of sportsmanship is ironically what lead to the current state. We went from interesting battles like Wrath’s Clutch and Das Boot – Orc/Dwarf honor wars - to players literally burning their city down to avoid a warclaim, or demanding a warclaim be made and then not showing up to it so they have time to evacuate their loot or important RP items during the OOC buffer due to this babying. Rather than being part of the game they became a way to avoid consequences for playing the game the ‘wrong’ way – as in being in a position to lose.
Damn warclaims, they ruined warclaims.

So based on my skimming of posts let me just make sure I have this right. The current iteration of tree hugging elves burned down their own city rather than actually fight and Haelun’or has declared war on them but still needs Oren’s assistance to fight the dweebs. Is there context I’m missing or is this the hilarious summary?

Settle a debate for me. If a player only browses forums, rather than playing in game, are they still a ******? With love, Cosmic

I'd genuinely like the FM who was responsible for hiding my post to message me. I do not want this member of the community within the community, let alone on a staff team, and I am free to state why and to be disputed openly.

The whole going back to our roots is all nostalgic and stuff. But to be completely honest, its kind of impossible our roots were a bunch of 12-14 year olds running around doing subpar role-play. IDK how many of you are from Aegis. But its kinda of impossible, you would need to scrap like 90% of server rules and plugins. LOTC was pretty much free-form.

I have an idea, maybe instead of 'reworking' the nexus system the DEVS could replace it with anew system where you have to EMOTE to create stuff. Like in blacksmithing you have to emote how you create a sword or something or in cooking you emote preparing a meal. Etc etc
-
Every system is able to be abused eventually, assuming you use something like keywords or something or word count it would just come down to up arrowing or spamming the specific key words for an item. Similar to how enchanments or alchemy regents were first implemented. It would start out as a secret but quickly become widespread and we'd be back where we started as far as the issues we face with nexus.

You can't just PK a character with 4 magics, a floating city, a dragon and a tome of power even if you agree, right?

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Gold is a very soft and very heavy metal. It does not cut through armor very easily, if at all, and it, in general, makes a terrible weapon compared to one made of steel. Or bronze. Or pretty much any conventional weapon.
