No love for Gaben :(

Why don't you remove all the useless staff teams, and only leave Admin, GM and AT?

 

Why don't you pay your coders so they produce good plugins in a timely fashion?

 

Why don't you pay popular youtubers to broadcast trailers, rather than post them on your LotC Youtube channel where it will get 200 views?

Well if the server got more donations then we would be able to do these things.

Would the media team have access to quick news?

1440 p? WTF There's a thing after 1080? :O

Lol. You're living in the stone age man, you can upload youtube videos up to 4K (4096 × 2304)

Do you believe that even soulstones that return you to the cloud temple should be removed?

In 4.0 it takes a few minutes to walk from any of the racial capitals to the cloud temple; so soulstones would be fairly pointless and just destroy road RP.

Small map + removal of soulstones = more road RP

Do eeet!

Anthos isn't what the playerbase wanted, but against it. In fact Anthos is the prime example that the builders learned nothing from Asulon.

 

The Map was too big, Travel times between towns were a pain without fast travel or SS. And now only about 2 main towns on this server are officially RP hubs with more RP and attention focused on one of them. 

 

I would kill for another Elysium now.

Anthos was originally designed by Native with the expectation that LoTC's playerbase would expand quite a bit. However unfortunately he was wrong in that prediction.

I thought parts of the map were supposed to be unregioned after a period of time?

Large areas of the map has been unregioned, but people always seem to want more.

I personally don't hate it that much, it it just too big is all.

However other players hate it because of regioning.

What would that do though? It's like the economy on the server really matters. If everyone has money it's not the end of the world. Someone will have a monopoly and you'll have to bring it down

Over-abundance of resources kills economies. It happened in Asulon and the staff have been trying to avoid it happening it again.

An extra 1-2% won't affect anything. But let's think about gold. Gold is super rare, but on vanilla, it doesn't really do much. Here, we go through gold like crazy to breed horses. If we keep it just as rare, we'll have less horses, less gold overall, etc. It won't be good. But an extra 1-2% gold ore will allow us to breed horses and craft golden armor, hoes, weapons, use it for alchemy, etc.

Ah ok. You could have been more specific in the OP; I thought you were increasing iron and diamond concentrations.

Wait. Higher ores concentration than vanilla...? Are the staff trying to completely destroy what little economy we have left on the server?

Ryvan chuckles, "Perhaps now I won't see 50 homeless children wandering the street every day..."

Yea. Plugins will help, but they aren't the answer.

Do you have any past experience moderating Minecraft servers?: No. Unfortunately I cannot claim to have direct experience with moderating a minecraft server, however I do believe I have experience in teamwork, leadership, and being a role-model. I used to run a local youth group for kids in grades 5-7 with two of my friends; we did all sorts of character building exercises with them and lots of events to help out the community and raise money for various charity causes. I think that from my time running that I learnt a lot about how important it is to be a role-model and how to be a leader. Now, I'm not saying the server's players are a bunch of 10 year old kids :P But I believe the core principles are much the same.

Through my time on the media team I have also learnt valuable skills of working in a team of people that span the globe, each with their unique traits, their strengths and their weaknesses; trying to get them to do some work, with varying success ;)

Why have you decided to create a GM application?: Well to keep it short and sweet I basically just want to help out with modreqs and events.

As for why have I made an application now in particular? Well I have wanted to be a GM for quite a while, ever since in Asulon when I was given full GM pex perms for a few months so that I could do filming for the media team more easily. I got to see first hand what it was like for GMs, and just how many darn modreqs were piling up without anyone around to do them, (and I tell you now I was so darn tempted to help all those people..). But unfortunately I didn't have enough time available to me that I would be comfortable taking on the responsibility. But now I have graduated from high school and am at a point in my life where I feel that I have enough free time time available and I'm ready to help out the server more.

Additional information: None that I can think of at this moment.

The primary reason for wishing to remove nexus combat is that it doesn't really make any part of the combat better, it just makes it slower and less exciting, as well as adding unnecessary restrictions to a combat system which wasn't broken to begin with. Also, if you're not in the United States (and depending on your PC) it is pretty much impossible to fight with this system due to the immense amount of lag that it suffers, therefore nullifying the argument that it 'makes PvP fairer by giving people with bad pcs a chance, which wasn't an issue anyway). This half of the Nexus plugin is the one half that we didn't need, all we need is a professions plugin to supplement the pre-existing Minecraft combat system, which is already fantastic to begin with.

 

tl;dr, The PvP system now is still clicky clicky, it's just slower and less exciting clicky clicky.

A combat system which wasn't broken...?

ROFL

Also the Nexus doesn't lag any more than vanilla combat, I say that living in Australia.

Why are we promoting such a ban happy and application happy server when we should obviously be doing the opposite? How are we trying to improve the relations with the community and staff and why is it not the communities job to voice their opinion with admins?

Because players are immature and can't be trusted to behave properly without restrictions placed upon them.

This has been shown numerous times in the past.

*Didn't get mentioned..*

Ionia sits in the basement of her tower mixing potions, oblivious to all these goings on.

((No, the battle is next Sunday, the 17th, at 10AM EST. Sorry for me not editing the OP. Please remember to bring your own snacks.))

Wut... No way. The vast majority of high elves are Australians, and that is 2am for all of them.

7pm EST on Saturday would work better.

Otherwise I'm sure you'll have fun battling an army of 2 high elves...

It's going to be down... FOR EVER!

If only...   

The server would be better for it.

In 4.0 can we have ores generated in the actual world like on previous maps? Please?

The 4.0 map already has ores generated in it.

I'd like to see some orc RP that doesn't involve beheading/disemboweling. I do understand that the orcs are a violent and war-like people, but so far every orc I have met has tried to behead me and eat my organs, and to be honest it is just becoming a bit repetitive and boring.

Try to come up with some new and interesting RP!

We still need more wood elf, dark elf, Kharajyr, and orc skins.
