oh its assholefistocal nevermind.

I don't know why you are making baseless assumptions like this, especially as a staff member. I've been around forever, and I've never seen this Wolfy-d guy in-game within Urguan or in Discord, aside from a few random messages. I would not say this guy represents the dwarven community at all, or our current attitude about the war

"We will see about that." A construct echoed.

The Renewed Workforce of Kal’Baraz The workforce has always represented the organized union of Khazad labour, directly facilitating resource acquisition for the Grand Kingdom. Formed by miners, smiths and other craftsmen, its membership is an ideal way for the ordinary dwarf to earn a living. Yet the Workforce of recent years was always imperilled by the unrestrained ambition of its Picks, eager to do too much too soon, leading to inefficiencies which doomed the whole project from the get-go. No more, a new era of competent leadership shall be ushered in under the management of Torsun Oathrend, veteran Yemekar’s Pick of the Working Guilds in Almaris. To this effect, the White Anvil, Magic Chalice and Mining Order shall all be dissolved: collated under the single unit of The Treasured Hoard. To those interested in steady employment and access to the mines, seek out the Workforce Manager, Torsun Oathrend, or the Workforce Officer, Narvi Jewelbeard. Benefits of membership include access to the mines and the workforce barn, in exchange for a stone-weekly dues of a crate of each resource inside (iron ore, black ore, and coal). Additional benefits are available: meeting the quota of two crates per stone week guarantees a flat 50 mina payment, and all workers will have access to the workforce auxiliary shop to sell any additional ore.

Disseverer of Tungdil's Line, The Gold-Lacquered Lord, Torsun ex-Goldhand Blackhand, stared at Bworki's resin encased corpse. "I don't know who this dwarf is, but I really hope he didn't have any friends."

+1 I'm not wasting 5 hours of my time just to get power-gamed by an ST and told to suck it afterwards. Open up or expand on ST ores. Make them obtainable by some esoteric mechanics. If people chimp out over ores like last map, let them. At least it gives them some purpose to be on here.

First time bothering with any feedback requests, but here we go. Playing off and on since Aegis, I feel that the server has been in decline for a while now. I think everyone agrees with that, and this map is probably one of the worst in a while. Not only in mechanics but in the community as well. There’s absolutely no point in logging on. Every hour spent on LotC is an hour of my life wasted it feels like. I play, I do my thing, and log off unsatisfied. I take long breaks and come back to the same old drama and politics. There’s no character progression with players because the server doesn’t facilitate it. So why should I waste hours on here getting nowhere? Like many have said in this thread, there’s this obsession with being conflict and risk adverse among the playerbase. This is a major pillar in what makes roleplay, which isn’t enforced at all, and because it isn’t enforced, there’s absolutely zero progression in story. And when there’s an attempt to progress things, it is usually stopped with some arbitrary server rules or lore mechanics that takes IRL months to resolve, making everything pointless and irrelevant very fast. Roleplay isn’t a long drawn out or planned storyline. It’s spontaneous and improvisational that resolves itself rather quickly. That’s what roleplay is. That’s what makes rolepaly fun but a lot of people here don’t understand that at all. Nothing is more annoying than seeing a majority of players in their cities outright ignoring players because they don’t know them OOCly, paragraph posting at a tavern, or doing slice of life garbage. It doesn’t lead anywhere or progress a story. It’s just sad escapism that we’re all here forced to entertain. Mechanically this server needs things that are openly available to the player that lets them progress their character, rather than submitting to the crap I listed above. Systems that put everyone at risk would help. Permakill clauses, risk of losing items, and whatever else will make players want to develop and progress their character so that they can survive. Bring back a skill and profession system like Nexus during 7.0/Axios that players can interact and roleplay around. Implement SOMETHING that isn’t gatekept or involve players sitting around getting groomed in a manor every single day. Many might say "Well I don't have time for that..." WELL TOO BAD. You probably have 2 days a week logged into the server anyway. HAVE MECHANICS THAT FORCE THEM OUT INTO THE WORLD AND ROLEPLAY!!!! The nodal system is AWESOME. I don't care what anyone else says but we should have more of that. It forces people outside of cities and sets them up for potential player interaction (good or bad) No ST interaction from farming herbs, and whenever ST ores come out I hope to GOD I don't have to interact with them. I have other criticisms, but this is the main thing. I donated $500 to the server, so I hope to see that money go toward a better server or something at least.

Agamm's corpse stirred in it's grave. There was no mention of the kinslaying on his friends and himself over the diamond mine of Dol'Vekaan. Though his spirit was soon sated after vividly recalling his enactment of revenge by smashing in the head of Morul Irongrinder, whom he was ironically buried next to.
