Keep it in game. I'm disappointed in this, I really hope you guys thought this through. You imply this is a bad thing, care to expand on it? People going off and doing their own stuff is what makes this world dynamic, do you really not believe that?

The problem comes when pretty much everything on the server is regioned, expanding well past any settlements. There's so much open forest in every one of these maps, teeming with opportunities for even just little events, or easter eggs. You're not allowing the world to be fleshed out by its players, you're regionning it off for the protection and benefit of a select few.

lmao no it isn't

Then you really don't have any faith in the playerbase to follow the literal, key component of the server; roleplay as if you were in character. Regions have been present since I started playing, and they're great for capitals and establishments, but they suck so much life from the world when they just cover forests over forests. I'd expressly make an order of bandits committed to raiding hideous structures (or inversely, an architects guild?) if you think the clutter would prove unbearable. Bottom line is we need to start holding each other to a standard again. Your contribution doesn't come from your forum posts, it comes from how you immerse yourself in game. Joke all you like, the most fun you've had on this server was when you were most immersed. Skype, Teamspeak, and the forums have all pretty much replaced the server at this point, and we have a pretty large gaming community as a result. Awesome. As a result, we've created a cesspool of skype chats that run everything. Not awesome. I mention this because I believe if we hold each other accountable, the state of things will increase with it. People don't scar and do stupid **** when they're immersed and living their characters life. Needs work, but we have the minds for it. (ill add i think fast travel and a massive world is a sick idea.)

So wait, you're implying world saves of asulon exist? Anyone have Solace?

Well no **** the wild freebuilds looked bad, they're way out in the middle of nowhere. If you left the area just outside the CT freebuild, I think you'd be surprised how decent the playerbase would keep it. If nothing else, add some decent raiding rules so you can have bandits and brigands go loot and burn ugly structures. Bottom line; regions restrict everything. I know it's fun to discredit cyndikates ideas, but at very least ponder them, she's really onto something we should be contemplating.

As well, do orc's not have bloodlust? These mushrooms, do they cause aimless rage? Also, and im not claiming to be an alchemist here, im not sure if mixing them in a brew like that would really achieve that effect (though like I said, who knows)... This considered, is the lore reasonable? Yeah, I could buy it. I've never found weed to do anything until I start coming down from whatever, and if you claim your orc smokes weed every I doubt a consumable would be enough, but the core concept I guess could be looked over if it provides benefit to the servers lore. Does it? Not really. At least, I don't think. You've already got cactus green, you've got a berserker mushroom, and you have your race's unique bloodlust affect already. It's cool to look over small inaccuracies in the lore here in there for convenience sake, or to flesh out the server. I don't really think this does. Cool idea man, honestly my opinion technically doesn't mean a damn thing. Some constructive criticism if you wanted it

Learn it, roleplay it.

Try fleshing out more exactly what this drug accomplishes when consumed, versus just actually eating the mushroom. Explain more what it means to "manipulate" the rage? Could he not just eat the mushroom to achieve the same affect, and then take a BR after to mellow out? Otherwise, I think the concept is good enough - you know you're fucked when you're taking drugs to mellow out your other drugs

"With this we can keep moving forward, and find out what we are living in" says mark messier, (( well written and thought up m8, gives good exposition and depth to the world, the more stuff like this we have ))

Solution is to not die, and perma yourself everytime you die rply.
