I never knew Watyll. In fact, I hadn't even heard of him up until this post was made. However, I look around me now and I see the community united to say one last goodbye to a beloved member. I see my friends grieving and being truly upset. That is all I need to see to know that Watyll was a wonderful person in life. His loss weighs heavily on everyone's heart. I wish his family the best of luck.

Someone needs to slap some sense into slic3.

LoTC In General: What do you like about LoTC?: The lore, and the server's plugins and such are pretty nice. What do you dislike about LoTC?: The toxic community What is something LoTC needs to do more of?: Promote fun and roleplay, deal with trolls and memers. What should LoTC do less?: Empower PvP What did you like specifically about previous maps?: Wasn't around for that. What would be interesting to see in a future map?: Less empty fields, more interesting locations to explore. What keeps you coming back to the server?: The friendships I've made. Events and Interaction: Does LoTC need an antagonist?: Doesn't need one, but it still needs a direction. Do you think LoTC needs more incentive to explore?: Absolutely Do you think the server’s players need to work together more?: The players need to work together more towards promoting fun and roleplay, not ruining other's fun and ejoyment via abuse of PvP, villainy and warclaims. Plugins and Development: What do you think of the skill plugin? Rate the skills plugin on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being your dream plugin that meets every element beyond expectations. The skill plugin works, I'll give it that. It is a grinder, but that really can't be helped so I'll be lenient on that. The bigger issues I see with the plugin are certain professions. Alchemy is a righteous pain in the butt to level up, finding ingredients is awful and overall the slowest, hardest and least fun profession to grind. Cooking is virtually useless until the point where you can make golden apples and carrots. What plugins do you think the developers need to work on?: A countdown plugin for PvP, would help reduce the amount of abuse of PvP default (Counting down from 5 to 1 in a microsecond). A plugin for aesthethic effects to aid roleplay would be great too. Do you feel there are any plugins that you directly interact with that should be changed?: Compost bins are a buggy mess.

About a month ago in the Graphics forums, reminders have been made in other VMS posts too.

The ash cloud looms overhead...

no thanks id rather people not start ******* dogs and doing weird ass kinky **** in order to enrich my premium rp experience fam let's keep things/rules the way they are now. Your char is into frost witches and ghouls! But on a serious note, yes, the server has changed, and we need to change it again.

My entry.

Salendys was present at the situation, quite drunk and unable to understand what was happening in the little burrow. Until now.

I believe the number should be bumped up to 4. Two magics mastered, should teach with no problem. Two magics at adept level, that person should have enough experience to be able to teach as well. And then there's the novice tier magic. Yeah, that one's not going anywhere. I really feel like 4 would have been more logical and benefitial than just the overly restrictive 2.

Yes they are.

That's the idea. I don't want there to be any specific guidelines to allow for more freedom and creativity. Just follow the rules. Like I said at the beginning of my post, this is nothing new. Some people already do this, but they are only a handful. This would help give people more ideas on how to spice up their roleplay experience.

((Before I begin, I want to state that this is nothing new. I simply thought it'd be nice to have lore for it.)) Side Effects for the Void-Attuned For those who have practiced the voidal arts for decades, they'll find that their connection to the void now feels like an extension of their being. Said connection can even behave like a reflex in some scenarios, happening quickly and involuntarily. It's not unheard of for a master fire evocationist to occasionally exhale coalish smoke after casting. Or an electrical evocationist to generate small sparks around them after a hiccup. Or even an arcanist expelling strangely coloured ectoplasm after a sneeze. The possibilities are many and unpredictable. The cause for these quirky phenomenons can be explained quite simply. Those who have consistently made use of the void for several years have had their minds accustomed to it, no longer being perceived as a strange force by their psyche, but rather, as a part of them. Of course, the connection itself is unnatural, the mind merely believes it not to be, so it may involuntarily call upon it whenever a reflex is triggered. Sneezes, hiccups, surprises and many more sudden things can cause such an instance. Luckily, it never seems to have any adverse effects, or benefitial effects for that matter. It is entirely neutral. Each mage can have their own unique quirk, or quirks, in some cases. It all depends on what art the mage specializes in. OOC: This tiny piece of lore is meant to help people spice up their magic roleplay with a little something. It's meant to be almost entirely cosmetic and for the most part inconsequential in roleplay. Not that you're not allowed to let it have a small impact on RP, such as your character having a slip and others realizing they are a mage. I'm only saying it's meant to play only a tiny role to make the world of LotC seem more rich and whimsical (unintended pun). Here are some rules for this lore: Feel free to be creative when it comes to roleplaying a random effect, but make sure it's within reason first. (Please don't fart fire or anything like that)This lore only applies for voidal magics.Random effects cannot harm you or others directly. (Being burned for witchcraft because you sneezed snowflakes is fine.)You must have mastered a subtype and have been practicing magic for several IC years for your character to be able to do this. That's it folks. This is my first piece of lore, so any feedback, constructive comments and suggestions are very welcome!

Yus... YUS!

ASCII tile based roguelike, obviously.

I'm participating.

Let them create a "fire pet" if they want. It's going to be useless and will drain their mana so quick it'll poof in a few minutes. Arcane life has always been a thing, but if conjurationists are going to get cranky about it now then I can do without it to avoid trouble.
