[[so i'm wondering why I don't have perms anymore? I'm off for 2 days and everything changes. How come I can access ANYTHING? No warning or anything. Can i get perms back since there is no way you could stop me from accessing my own things. This may not be the best place to post it, but if i get no response I'll post it again.]]

*I looks at the flier* W'at miners 'ave t'at muc' iron? T'is tax be too steep. I be not paying in Iron. i will give me 'ome up. Varivik was to be tax free and now it be very steep. T'is place be going down'ill. *to himself* I must talk with Gunjar

*Garion meets with Gunjar* I will sign ye C'arter. [[i have to say to everyone who hasn't RPed with us don't say anything. Many are like Garion who do not like to battle unless needed. You guys can talk about rebellion, but who is to say it won't happen anyway. Just let things take its course. Don't complain about another town. You might as well say no other charters be made.]] [[MC name: Onegarion

I'm going to say it again. Stop complaining about grinding it isn't bad. If you actually do your job in game you gain levels quickly. Even pick up a skill that supports your main one. Archery get lumberjack, Swords/Axes get Blacksmith, Cooking either farming or a combat skill. Don't get 3 skills that don't meld well. Like Farming, Fishing, and Lumberjack. Not that I'm sure anyone has done that. Also we don't need skill resets. Your character isn't going to go from I am a major Swordsman and next "Uh how do i use swords?" There is such a thing called /delevel. Progressively lower your stats. I've done it a number of times already. Suck it up and support the devs. Its no easy task to code this and they made it pretty realistic. Learn to use the commands and stop complaining about "grinding" which isn't really that big of a deal. Its part of life. Deal with it.

I want to say a little on the bandages. If people want more realism then how about after you are hit and don't but a bandage you have a chance of getting a disease and DYING. Just suck it up and I like the idea of saying that bandages have a magic quality just to follow RP and maybe cause some issue because of the magic. I still think having a full bar should heal even if its half of what it is. Partially because of people's comments and partly because food does keep you healthy and it will cut the need for cooks as much. Also beds have always healed you at least since I joined. I am interested in the stealth skill and how it will be implemented. I hope the percentages get changed so at lvl 100 you have maybe a 5% fail at most because "Garion was careless and arrogant and struck the iron wrong and cracked it." Idk just an idea. I've had to say things like that a number of times already. I don't like the failure anyway because even if you suck all your going to do is make a crappy diamond sword so you can't use it much. It kind of pains me to hear the shops plugin is gone because my town just built this huge shopping area and now its kind of pointless. I do have to say with my schedule changing daily that a shop helps sell goods for those who can't be on at peak hours. There aren't to many people in my area on at 4 in the morning which is like 3 am server time. I really don't think a game wide reset is necessary since characters like mine don't have the skills that are being added. It might be a strain on teams, but let it be those who have a claim to the skills. Ultimately complaints on the updates can't be taken seriously until we have a chance to try them out. Until we try and then find they suck or rock we can't really decide on whether we like or hate them.

Actually i like the idea of training dummies, but you would also need to do the same for archers with stands. You would have to make them out of a certain material like wool. It makes it easier on coding. But I have a room dedicated to training on dummies and this would make it useful other than a cool looking room that people won't use. Again on grinding. They could make you start off at level 0 without the /addlevel so stop complaining and take it for what it is. Grinding isn't hard and all of you just complain about not getting from level 0 to level 100 in a week. Grinding doesn't take from RP. It only does if you do it solo.

After reading all of this I want to give my 2 cents. Also I'm going to talk in the world disregarding code, so some stuff might be a little extreme with code involved. I'm actually tired of people complaining about grinding. I think it should be harder to level up. Garion is a blacksmith miner who cooks, knows archery, chops trees, excavates, and can use a sword. I've gotten mining to level 65 in about 1 week and blacksmithing I can get about 2-3 levels a day just because I'm bored. I do a lot of RP while I'm at it. I'm not really missing out on anything. All of his skills beside blacksmithing and mining are no higher than 30 and that is only lumberjack that comes close. Its because the community around him doesn't give the things he needs out so he must get them. I've used my spent points and deleveled A LOT. At one point in time he has had a point in a skill just because I've experimented or needed something. Next I like the race bonuses, but I feel like it shouldn't make any one race superior to another, but lets a starting dwarf have blacksmith skills, while a human doesn't. These also wouldn't count towards your cap or just raise the cap and give each race a set bonus. Yes a dwarf is probably better at smithing, but if a human dedicates his life to it shouldn't he be just as good. That or many people will meta and pull the "I trained with dwarves in their forge so my cap should be raised." I know I will be the first just because I want to be the best I can. Also I like the idea of going on a quest of sorts or doing something out of the ordinary to acquire level 100 in any skill. Like a swordsman or axe master should have to kill something like the dragon (not sure if we can actually get there RPly though). An archer should hit a target so far away or kill a certain person from a distance. A crafter would have to craft something out of the ordinary with some rare item. Even go so far as a self made sword with full RP of the creation. Nothing enchanted or anything, but an item that proves mastery and not just walking up to a crafting table. Farmers would have to grow something rare to prove that they can cultivate anything. All of these would be GM watched so no one can help them or do it for them. I feel like we should have skills of building and speechcraft or orating. Building so not everyone can help out. Basically you can only build so high until your skill would raise. Probably a pain in the butt, but it makes so you actually have builders. Orating is more of a hail of your RPing. Not really a skill, but how GMs and important people think you RP. King Godfrey sees I'm emoting while smithing, +1. Another thing I like is the trainers and maybe making them like quest givers. Each major city has one and say you bring a perfect iron sword you get 1 skill. You will only be able to get it once (so all coding). Yes some new guy will buy one or get it off his friend, but he won't be able to get it again. I wouldn't want to waste my minas to just get one and try to pass it for 1 level upgrade. I feel like there was something else but I just can't think of it. Let the breakdown begin. Also remember I was talking the realm outside of coding. So if its to hard to code, don't scream at me, but let me know.

I be Garion and 'ave been in this great city for much time. Ye asked me to come and I find t'is place a great one. I would like to be a artificer of t'is land. I 'ave grown fond of Varivik and would like to serve to me fullest potential.

*a letter is left by the Ulfgar camp. It reads:* If ye want help with the battle to make it easier leave a note by the ruins outside of the gauntlet.

Garion, Blacksmith

I'm going to make it quick. I've been here a week and I can't find anyone who can give me or has given me permissions and I'm a blacksmith. So i can't use furnaces and help others. Its aggravating and may cause me to leave. I have been involved with a lot of things and met a number of people and still can't partake in any of the actions. It kind of ruins the RP when I have to fight with the game just to let me do some things. It would help to just be able to use my chest and stop carrying EVERYTHING. I love this town and people I'm getting to know and I don't want to leave for a trivial matter. Edit: Problem fixed so now I can join in the fun.

*Sends a bird* I seek to protect people. How can I help? I be skilled with iron and all material lesser than it.

I mind not to work with elves. I seek to use my skills where they are needed and where I can protect people.
