Wocket

5 years ago I left the server. Before I get into why, in all that time I’ve continued to RP; tabletop, play by post, forums. I’ve been on/off with Minecraft over the years but have been avoiding playing online. I’m considering returning now that my life has calmed down a bit and I feel like I have the free time at the proper hours to enjoy this once again. My biggest character during my two years playing on this server was Wocket a free spirit orphaned by war and survived a childhood in the wild. She met a baron who was building a city and secured wealth by mining for him before becoming that town’s primary merchant. She ran a trade store that dealt in all goods from dirt to diamonds, even successfully selling a couple chests full of dirt! She often conspired to help the downtrodden playing risky political games to make sure the poor could see a better life. Eventually the town fell to chaos as infighting amongst the guards created a rift. Being a trusted member of the city and the sole defender of her store she took charge and become a guard herself, very quickly closing the rift and seizing the position of captain herself. As she got older and dropped her guard job she tried to start a small farm but felt her position in the world fade. She lost the will to move forward and fell to sickness. Anyways~ I’m posting here to see if things have changed before I actually log in, and it’s a specific thing, I know a lot has changed overall. The reason I left 5 years ago was because after a map change that occurred back then the RP seemed to shift heavily towards violence. More war, more torture, more fighting in the streets. I couldn’t be a merchant or miner anymore because I kept getting pulled in violent RP, the violence itself didn’t make me uncomfortable, just the amount of it. The thing that tilted me was a chase in town, a bunch of bandits running from the guards I was mistaken for a bandit and killed by the guards with no RP on my end. I should’ve said something but it was the last straw for me, nothing significant was ever happening around me that didn’t include somebody being attacked for the past couple of weeks at that point. I tried to create peaceful RP but it wasn’t working, nobody was interested anymore. I thought it was me but I found it was the server, I started RP elsewhere, I even ran a D&D campaign where my players were opposed to attacking most things that could talk. I know I could’ve changed race, become a halfling or an elf, I don’t remember what I didn’t like about the idea of that. I know I didn’t get much interaction with them, only orcs ever showed up around human territory. I am actually made uncomfortable by “drunk” RP, I don’t like drunk people in rl either and that’s all I saw from the dwarves for the most part. To the point, I’m hoping to hear that being a peaceful human character that doesn’t get attacked on a daily basis is more of an option nowadays and I guess I’m also asking to essentially be treated as a new player as well since it’s been so long.

The soulstone is basically magic that all sentient creatures have, I do believe. So, no you can't truly be forced to use it or drag someone with you since the magic doesn't cover that. Wiki Page: http://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/Soulstones

Hey, just to reccomend something the community likes, you can post some first impression topics after your first day or week on the server. Hope you have fun!

Meinette watches with fleeting interest, taking a seat around the outer area of the square. She begins to talk to herself, "Oh, I can't actually remember a time where things weren't bad... I think. Heck, I don't even know half the people he's talking about! I wonder if this means something fun is going to happen? Fun always brings people together! Then why raise swords? Are we going to throw them in the air? That's not safe! Maybe I should go home..." After seeing a small fight break out she assures herself heading home is the best course of action.

MC Name: emraldilian Character Name: Mienette Character Age: 19 Character Backstory: Mienette, born into a criminal family, her parents a bit too inattentive when it came to her care. She came to enjoy the art of swordplay, her parents even began to teach her soon after she could speak clearly, but only if they ever found themselves bored. Mienette was always provided for, her living conditions above average for the sort she was born from, and yet she developed a want for independence when she noticed her parents were always "working". One day her father returned with a guard's armor, it was light and Mienette had grown big enough to fit in it. It was never handed to her, but she wanted it, so she wore it and wandered off from home like she always had, but this time, a thin sheet of armor would inspire her to explore. Good people she was lucky enough to pass by, they would unintentionally teach her morales, that her still childish mind would accept, they would show her kindness and make her want to give some in return. Gwen a sweet girl lost for words at Mienette's energetic approach, would learn of her want for a new home. Gwen had no intention to return to Cavan but the key still swayed upon her belt...

((For closure with my last character, Wocket, here's a death post!)) Alone in her unfurnished cabin that could be found amongst a small field of wheat, Wocket laid on the wooden floor. She had secluded herself from the outside world, having failed so many times to find happiness within it. Disease found its way into her system, in the cracks the loneliness had made. The love she held dear found his way from the farms and moved his way up into nobility. Wocket rose alongside him, away from the earth. However, as this happened, her love weakened, he did things that angered her, saddened her, and left her empty. Yet against her better judgment, she'd forgive so many things. The move to Anthos had distanced her from her friends and ended her search for her parents. Far away were the places she'd dreamed to live, far away were the things that made her feel at home. Now there was nothing outside that could bring her a smile. The cabin she lay in, hers, yet not her home. She'd made what little life she could in this cabin, boarding up the windows and eating her meals alone. However just days ago the meals wouldn't stay, with her sickness even the water she drank would end up in the cracks of the wooden floor. She'd been stubborn, the outside world couldn't help her, she'd thought she could weather it. Now feeling regret, she's unable to move. Laid out across the floor, nobody would see her through the boarded windows. Without the strength to move, she would sleep. Waking to find herself somewhere new, the cot she lay in attached to a dirt wall, in a cave supported by shoddily constructed wooden pillars, the darkness cast away by only a few torches. Another cot just above hers, a man jumps down, her love, the one she'd fell for so long ago. An iron pickaxe in each hand he gives her one and smiles. They travel to the cave's end onto the edges of a large ravine, one that held treasures as far as the eye could see, gold, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds. They'd mine all morning that day, and when the sun would threaten to set they'd ascend. The town above, made of humble homes, cobble walls with thatched roofs. Vegetation grew as freely as the animals roamed. Mushrooms, chickens, flowers, and pigs littered the streets. The people would smile as Wocket handed away the treasure she had found to everbody, and their smiles brought her one. As night would fall, she would descend and return to her cave with her love, reminiscing over what they had found, what they had given... and every night she would have a nightmare, one of waking in a cabin all alone and suffering, yet they would soon be gone, just like everything else.

How dramatically will this raise the value of mina? I can't expect many would do that meager exchange unless the value of a mina is about 50x what it used to be, I sell bread for 3 mina, that'd be 3 gold bars per loaf :P And with much mina down the drain from lost notes, (~50k for me) there won't be much around until it starts to flow in from the hunters. I suppose it'll be a challenge to run my shop for a while, but at least I won't have to worry getting my money deleted when I sell stuff anymore.

Wocket sees one of the notes and reads it, "What? They have Aron? ...3000 and a cannon, I guess I shouldn't worry too much about it. Such a meager amount wouldn't even phase me, I'm sure Lancel can spare it. Aron'll be back in no time." She tosses the one note of many, the worry that built up from not seeing Aron completely diminished by the ransom's low asking price. The thought of the trade going wrong doesn't even cross her mind.

Yes, I can make a continuous circuit, easy :3 Last question, this is very likely a yes but just confirming instead of transitioning themes can I make all three selectable on the same map?
