Ah, I remember now! Just a little piece of information which I believe would be valuable to this discussion. I am sure Shiftnative remembers this as well, as I think it was he who was the one who had spoken it. Lord of the Craft was originally designed to be a roleplaying server, not an RPG server. The difference is, one revolves around quests, NPC's and player to environment interaction. The other is strictly player to player interaction, and the stories involved therewith. It was, at one point, envisioned that Lord of the Craft Roleplaying server was to be the initial stepping stone into a vaster roleplaying community. That, from this, Lord of the Craft would exapand into a vast Roleplaying hub, not only encompassing minecraft as the largest roleplaying server there was, but indeed extending its reaches into the wider internet. Spanning games and forums and the Lord of the Craft logo being that which represents more than just Minecraft Roleplay, but a giant community of roleplayers of all sorts of games. Perhaps Shift, you yourself remember this? It was, at one stage, the plan after all. Alas, times do change. Perhaps it is not the past you should be using to justify your position, but rather what the playerbase has become now. For there is without a doubt a shift in the wants of the playerbase, for better or for worse. It does seem to me that the vast majority of those who speak their opinion on these forums wish for a more laid back, less roleplay intensive experience. Who am I to argue with the majority?

Incredibly insightful, and I agreed with everything you said up until: Perhaps 99% of Minecraft players will be upset when they are told they cannot clickyclicky people to death, this is true, but these are not the players that are suitable for a roleplay server. Even a roleplay server infused with RPG elements which is something I personally support and agree with, this isn't the way to go. Perhaps it is simply awkward phrasing, but I want ROLEPLAYERS to be attracted to this server, not clickyclicky people. Clickyclicky people are better suited to clickyclicky servers and are not the kind of people we are trying to attract. This is my opinion.

The original aim of the server, as least when I first joined and from what I saw, was for it to be an "RP" minecraft server, whatever that term entails. I understand what you are trying to specify with the "RP-RPG", as an "RP" server generally brings to mind images of full text battles, people standing around and typing for ages as opposed to what the majority of the server like doing most which is mixing that with full minecraft battles and building and what makes minecraft... minecraft. Perhaps there was a bit of miscommunication or misinterpretation of the original aim of the server, as it generally seems to have shifted over the past couple of years, even if by a little bit. That comes with a change in administration I suppose, not that I am complaining. The server should shift and change with the will of the community, the majority of the community. My perspective is all.

We don't actually ever leave this forum. We are vengeful spirits, trapped inside the forums playing forum games to pass the time, DDOSing rival servers from time to time with our direct incorporeal connection to the INTERNET! dUN DUN DUUUUN!

Psshh, we've gone this far. It's obvious that... that one is a... that... that they both are... I'm sure we'll be able to figure it out on page 245. Page 245.

I googled it. Vici came up a lot. I still have no idea! :D

This tavern looks far too ramshackle and poor to have any ice-cream in its mini-fridges :/ It could be interesting watching the performer, but I think we are really tired from our journey, let's just go straight to bed and listen to the rain and thunder as we drift off to sleep. (253)

Weew, all the pressure is on you Richi boy! Make us proud and don't get us killed! ^_^

I vote follow them, 227, seems the smartest move at the moment. That's what all the people do in the movies anyway! They see their friend, wait and following them for a better opportunity to save them. Stealth all the waaay!

I suppose this isn't necroing because this is still a useful topic that I've used today ^_^ I found that the website you linked didn't support gives over 1.2mb, so I did a quick google search and I found this website which works like a charm: http://www.online-image-editor.com/ Before: After: Of course I had to upload it to an image sharing website, but that's no big trouble. Works like a charm :D

How to add the latest post of Let's Play Lone Wolf to a bookmark: 1. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/14835-lets-play-lone-wolf/?view=getlastpost 2. Done

Hmm... I'm going to go with go into the village, perhaps they won't recognise us as they stole our friend while we were performing? Also, we need to bust in there and rescue our friend before its too late! what if... they are eating him? ;O I say bust in there and say hello, kick ass, take names and hopefully not run out of bubble gum.

That's a steal a horse by the way :D

Our dearest friend requires our aid! Buy a horse? Aint no body got time for dat!

I vote Durenor, hunting bows are for hunting! So they must be good! :D Bone bow sounds like its going to break.

'Cause you guys are scurry bro! Did you see all that blood?! Did you?! :O

Through a muffled mouth of icecream, you mutter: "I'm looewn woolff." You continue to chew with your mouth open, little specks of icecream flying every which way. The old magician looks at you perplexedly and begins to back away. You shake your head and reveal your identity to the old magician. (My vote! :D)

I support this idea. Hmm... drawbacks... drawbacks... It would work well if it was indeed restricted to these multiverse worlds, otherwise any old block of stone could contain any old ore. It would work well to stop strip-mining, however instead it would promote taking every single block in sight. In the short term this would slow down the mining process - in the long term it would lead to entire worlds being stripped bare to bedrock in order to try and get as much ore as possible. As an extension (or a similar vein of thought to this), perhaps the server could follow a similar trend to 14th century Europe (where among other things such as the Great Famine and The Black Death) the majority of minerals closer to the surface had been exhausted. Therefore, metallurgists relied on refining of minerals and the such to obtain the much required and more valuable minerals. I suggest a system where perhaps one particular mineral is common and by a refinement process one has the chance to obtain a rarer mineral. Or even going as far as refining normal stone in order to have a chance of acquiring a mineral where normal minerals are much more rare. However if not for that, I support Jistuma's idea plain and simple without the addition of my rambling.

I found this quote in DevinBolt145's signature to be very relevant. Not that Anthos is a failure, rather what you may consider the mistakes that have been made are the failures. Three cheers for positive thinking!

You consider asking the old man about the Lorestone of Varetta. Instead, however, you hold up your hand and pardon yourself for a moment. Quick as a ninjacat, you dash back to your table and grab the half-finished bowl of icecream, before returning to the old magician as quickly as you had left. 'Tell me, Cyrilus, what do you know of the Lorestone of Varetta?' You stare at the old man with interest as you begin to munch away at another scoop of icecream. Damn, this is some crunchy icecream. You think. (83!)

Cake? Fake? Cake is not fake! I obfuscate that assertion mate! Paperboy, taperboy, that's not cool Just to by an icecream, imma give you the school Cake, cake, its the best you'll ever taste Not like that icecream crap that tastes like waste! So when you get any money in your hand, boy By a cake, or you just 'aint cool Yeah. Or maybe not. I'll stick to my essays.

Icecream.

Would it be possible to include all of the links to the forum posts covered in the video, in the video description? Or perhaps in the original post in this forum thread, with a link to this forum thread on the video description? That would be very handy. :)

Les' do it! No point offering to pay if we are just going to be like: ACTUALLY, HAR! WE MADE YOU BUY DRINKS YOU COULDN'T AFFORD! Damn, these are some expensive drinks though, using gold to buy BEER? O_o
