The armored figure climbs slowly over the frozen hills, gripping a knapsack tightly over its shoulder. It ascends the worn stone stairs of the ruined cathedral in silence, approaching an old wall caked in frost. It extends an armored hand, brushing a rock aside and inserting a small ornate key into a hidden slot. The wall slides open, and the figure slips inside. Its hands lift, unclipping its helmet and shaking its hair out. Lumia paces through the old halls, footsteps echoing quietly. She descends, before stopping in front of a frozen metal door and pushing it open. She scans the room, bags and packed things resting on the table. The Witch sets her bag down on the table, before moving into the side room, changing into simple travelling clothes. Her form shimmers with a sigh, pale icy white skin appearing tanned and human. Her eyes lose their glow, appearance remaining otherwise the same. She shoulders her pack, reaching underneath the bed and removing a box, sliding it inside before entering the main room, glancing to the other figure present in the room with a smile, “Ready to go?” ~~ In the quiet afternoon, the pair approach a camp in the woods, arcane odds and ends strewn about on the table. Lumia sets her shouldered bags down on the table, head turning with a sad smile. She practically sprints to Avenel, embracing him with a tight hug. They exchange words, goodbyes, before Avenel extends an ornately engraved cube to Janos. Lumia steps back over to pick up her things, offering Avenel a smile and a wave as she takes Janos’ hand. The cube hums with arcane energy, engravings glowing bright, before the pair vanish with a crackling hiss, never to be seen again. And just like that, Lumia, woman of a hundred names and faces, WolfMother, last of Brunhylde’s brood, and once Lord of unsightly things, was gone. In places elsewhere, few might find letters left in places for them. Credits: Numirya <3 ((Lumia was my character for a super long time and I wanted to get some closure on what happened to her. I’m too much of a softie to just PK and it would’ve felt sad and out of the blue. I think she deserved a happy ending, in spite of it. I hope everyone enjoyed interacting with her at least half as much as I enjoyed playing her. Cheers.))

Five years ago I joined this server at the age of 15. I joined to impress a boy in my class that I liked, who told me it was like an online DnD campaign. I was already very familiar with minecraft, having spent most of my time gaming in a minecraft building and streaming community. I was rather quickly enamored with the fun and whimsy of it. In the later portion of that year, when I became very sick and LOTC became a large part of my life. I spent time, made friends, and became far too involved. For the next 5 years, I played on and off, taking at most a year or so break from the server entirely. I’m saying this now because I am now twenty years old, starting my second year of college in a month and it’s time for me to go. I’ve thought about this post and this server a lot, for the longest time I felt a pit in my stomach full of words and thoughts about this server and the people on it and my time here that I never could vocalize. I think I have finally unwound it, and this is what I have to say. In my time on this server, I’ve met all kinds. I’ve met wonderful friends and partners who I hope to know and cherish for the rest of my life. I’ve met odd people, strange and backwards in their actions and words. I’ve met kind people, who I wish I had gotten to known better or been better too. I’ve met awful people, worst of all, who harass and attack and HURT people over some concept as intangible as roleplay. I’ve grown a lot as a person, partly due to the people I’ve met and experiences I’ve had here. I think I’ve always put on a persona of bitterness and tiredness, but really, if anything lotc has turned my optimism into just cynicism. I hoped for so much out of the people here, time and time again, and I was disappointed every time. It got to the point I’d hope for the best but expect the worst, and work around it. Somehow, in the end, I don’t hold any hate or ill will towards this server or the people on it. In fact, I think I’ll always have very fond memories of my time here, and truth be told, I wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t really have any regrets, except maybe Space Carnival. I am beyond happy with where I am in my life, the people I consider close to me, the person I love, and with myself. And I just don’t think LOTC has anything to offer me anymore. And that’s ok. If I have one final request, it’s be good to each other. Respect each other and each other’s experiences. You’re here to have fun with each other, so have it. Learn to forgive and to grow, try new things and meet new people, you might be happy with what happens. Goodbye.

In all seriousness as someone who experienced the magic-staff plugin fiasco firsthand, I have no complaints if effort is made in the future to consult and take decisions to heart rather than just doing things. Would save everyone a lot of time and energy.

for you, probably, for either being completely blind or willfully ignorant of widespread abuse and server issues.

brushing off legitimate feedback and criticisms as a flavor of the week because you aren't personally impacted by it is a rrly good look for you my dude

Lumia mutters to herself with an indignant huff, slipping the flyer onto a stack of collected papers at the corner of the table. "Good. Who would want or respect the mercy of dogs?"

Hullo, so for my LT project I'm planning on taking a good hard look at Alchemy with a microscope here soon and potentially making ajdustments based on feedback and discussion. Firstly, however, I want to hear what everyone has to think and get a gauge on people interested in participating in the discussion. Please fill out the following questions, and be sure to take note of the separation between nexus alchemy and RP alchemy in the questions. If you are interested in participating in the official discussion, which will be on skype or discord (depending on what's easier for some people. If you would like to participate, please fill out the following form. disclaimer: this is a really big undertaking and due to a busier dev schedule with other things there's no guarantee nexus will be changed heavily in the near future. and while the final dream is to have the two equalized, it may not be feasible, but I will do my best. thanks.

I've been a villain for a hella long time, involved in spooky magic villainy, old thieves guild, & the like and I have STRONG FEELINGS about the state of villainy you have my skype I'm p sure

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly. If you feel this is a mistake, please contact myself or any FM and we'll restore it.

All 5 of those results were just your comments on other people's threads. You've never actually officially submitted an idea through proper channels, so please don't misconstrue the situation.

lore that I actually want to see on the server

Elisande, mostly homeless, signs the charter.

Feats require an ma but they're usually small things that don't count towards your 5 magic cap.

my only suggestion for such would have them be druidic feats because otherwise you're gonna push past the magic cap, since afaik druidism already has 5 subtypes (control & communion, herblore, blight healing, unnatuning, shapeshifting) Soul tree doesn't count as a magic type ig since it's a creature, but still.

Hey, as the LT who introduced Fi as one of the problem child magics that needed a looking at/re-write, and also as I worked with Rella extensively on this, I want to clarify a few things. The current Fi userbase was contacted as to the re-write, as they are the ones who have the most vested interest in what would happen to the magic. This was an attempt to rectify some of the less than desirable changes Connor made to the magic, but I will bring up in chat the issue of you being unhappy with changes to something that was originally your concept, Lulu. It is a touchy subject in terms of at what point does a concept belong/no-longer belong to you, but I understand the sentiment and will bring it up to forum.

I mean, sure. But in this situation, where lands are being built that players can make their characters come from, specifics are very good. It allows for RP to happen and people to connect. Everyone making their character come from some nondescript place with some nondescript backstory is fine, but if you have two people that come from the same, defined place and they both take parts of that into their history, that's super interesting and they can connect over it. It gives weight and life to the world we're trying to create.
