    Subpoena: THE CROWN v. BRANDT & D'EMYTH

    in Suits, Appeals, & Requests

    Posted

    James Fisher reads the subpoena with interest, taking notes and writing a letter. The pale man hands the letter off to a courier to deliver to one Brandt and one Elijah Alexander d’Emyth "Whether I represent them or not, I only hope they seek legal representation." he'd state to himself in conclusion.

    [[Letter only readable by the players of Brandt and Elijah Alexander d'Emyth and any additional peoples whom they deem to share it with!]]

    "To one Brandt or Elijah d'Emyth,

    Should you seek legal representation in regards to the criminal charges laid against you know that I, James Fisher, offer you free consultation. It is my belief that you have a very strong case to protect yourself from felony charges and have them lowered to a misdemeanor or potentially thrown out in court. Should you wish to accept free consultation please pen me a letter and have it delivered to Komnenos Street 8, my abode. You may also reach me via bird sent to Providence.

    Your truly,
    James Fisher, Criminal Defense Attorney"

    Goal of thread: To gain insight from peers on character creation/storylines in the current LoTC meta. Additionally, seek opinion on current LoTC roleplay meta.


    Hello to everyone that clicked on this thread! Goal is in the first line of the thread, give that a look in case you missed it.
    Brief introduction of myself, I’ve been here since 2011 and have had maybe a handful of characters most of which have never had much of a conclusion to their story and were dropped out of boredom or other such reasons. That is to say, I’ve never formally PK’d a character on LoTC that I can recall. I’ve looked back on my old characters, the era in which they were around during LoTC and various other aspects which have led me to where I am here today. Essentially I am once again at a point where my main character has become a bit exhaustive to play and his storyline both depressive and inconclusive. So I am looking towards the future to pursue a new character until my main character’s storyline picks up to reach its conclusion. However I am currently at a standstill in creating a new character for a few reasons so I am seeking some insight from the community both new and old in regards to creating a character in the current LoTC meta.
     

    I’ll begin with my thoughts on what I believe to be the current LoTC meta, feel free to correct me or give your opinion on the matter as it will ultimately help me understand a few things.
     

    Firstly, I believe currently LoTC is much more of a civilization/community builder. That is to say, a lot of the driving force for RP at large is done so from a Nation level as opposed to a character level. To me this means that rather than characters entering the realm and fleshing out their own story with potential impact they are instead slotted into numerous Job-based roles within a community in order to serve that community’s overall story and make a name for themselves as both a character and player. I personally find this to be most exhaustive and stressful due to the underlying OOC aspect of community building, and the responsibility therein. Do you agree or disagree with my take on LoTC meta?
     

    With that said, I have a few questions for anyone taking the time to read this!
     

    How do you come up with a core idea for a character? Do you draw inspiration from others’ RP, from movies, books and other media? Do you even have a core idea when you create a character or do you start with a somewhat blank slate and allow RP interactions to shape the character thereon?
     

    How do you further flesh out the core idea of your character?
     

    Do you post interactions from in-game on the forums you find impactful? Does this help you flesh out your character? Is it for others’ sake?
     

    In practice does the idea you have for your character get fulfilled when you finally start playing the character? Does it fall flat in comparison to what you believe it would achieve?
     

    How important is it to you as a player to have achievable goals for your character to try and accomplish? Do these goals change often due to RP?
     

    Do you already have some semblance of an idea for the character’s conclusion before you play it? Do you let RP dictate when your character has reached its conclusion?
     

    How do you deal with failure?


    If those reading this could answer some or all of these questions I have, it would give me greater insight on what it is I can do as a player to achieve my goal of having fun on the server and creating a character.


    In conclusion, there have been a few PKs recently that have given me a bit of a push towards wanting to create something new and exciting again instead of only logging in to help my friends and their goals. I want to login again and feel like I am progressing towards character goals instead of running around in circles eating taters, listening to music and hoping something interesting happens within my sphere.

    Sorry if this thread reads strangely or if topics are jumbled. It is difficult for me to get my thoughts onto paper, I find it easier to get my thoughts across through verbal discussion.
     

    Also any tips for creating a character in general is appreciated!

    Thanks for reading.

    To Xan's Paladins, A Letter

    in Other Realms

    Posted

    Bolvar would tuck the letter away and pat the dog upon its head, offering it a response letter if it should take it back to it's master.

    "I care not for the dramatics, unity is seemingly not possible due to it. However, cooperation should be our preferred outcome at this time. I am stationed in Oren's capitol, I have not seen any draconids while I have been around. If you so happen to know of any dwelling within, simply send word with their name or description and I shall do my best to dispatch them. Light guide you, sister.

    - Bolvar of Joma"

    MAISIE D'ARKENT'S RANSOM

    "Mm.. Unsure how I am to listen to a letter carefully, perhaps this isn't their first language." comments Joseph d'Arkent after his visit to Sunholdt.
    "So they've kidnapped.. My niece, is it? For.. 800 minae? Suppose this economy has even the most craven acting out." the man would let out a sigh and shake his head.
    "Hmm.. The exchange is to be done in Sutica of all places. Perhaps there is some connection? Probably not actually.. Certainly that place has a limited guardforce or no force at all, should be a simple thing to do such crimes in the square.." he'd soon pause after muttering to himself, scratching his beard in brief thought.

    "Xan, give me strength."

    The Dragon's Rest Tavern

    in The Kingdom of Oren

    Posted

    “This is my favorite tavern in all the land. I have visited many a tavern but none of the other taverns have people in them. The prices are very fair considering once a day minae magically forms in my pocket. Though lets be real, not a tavern in the world that could replace the majesty of Fukov tavern, but this is easily second place in reality. Very fun place, friendly staff and very educated. Good place for conversation, easily the most active place in existence. **** you Erik.” says ‘Jester’ after witnessing the advertisement and writing down his own formal response and excellent recommendation 5 stars.

    Compensation in in-game valuables has forever been the way to reward winners in contests. I would deem such viable as compensations for hard work put in promotional material for this server.

     

    Ok so you'll get tomes and mina but there is a new map coming. Why not get a donator level or some **** instead, something that carries over to the next map.

    [Racial Lore] Orcish Horns

    in Recently Outdated Lore

    Posted

    From what I remember back in Asulon it was just Brevias who had horns as dpm said. Though back then your orc increased in size somehow based on its rank due to some vague gene and had something to do with warhammer. Found out later that same reasoning could be applied to how orcs could have horns. Also was explained to why orcs could have more than two tusks. I think this is kinda cool though, what about Travista?
