I will msg all of the people who reply here when it comes time to build.. first comes finding a location and getting perms for it. Still not sure who to talk to for that.. will figure that out.

Will add you to the list~

As some of you might know, we plan on releasing some big changes for our guild. Along with this we planned on finding a more suitable area for our guild to prosper, the current Vailor Temple is rather ridiculous and there is no way we can operate a guild effectively from this location, no housing, no crypts, no library, no farm, no just about anything, we have 2 beds and a dinner table. So, this is mostly for ET builders but if anyone else is confident in their building ability we could really use the help If you have done things for lotc before be sure to let us know. The Temple is pretty important and shouldn't be too glorified or too underrated... I'm sure all of you want a better Cloud Temple, here is the concept of the new one, if you are interested in helping our guild please PM me here or just leave a comment. We would be very upset if we had to operate our guild from the shadows, hidden in the forest in a small shack again... this should be more fitting for us and will make us very happy. Trying to plan ahead for the big 5.0 map. Thanks for considering everyone~ If we don't get people to do this, we will start working on our own building skills, but the help is appreciated x3

Eh, I'm not sure if this is Monk lore or not but this isn't exactly how a soul blueprint works in monk terms.. If an arm was cut off, a monk can observe the blueprint and use it as a guide to replacing limbs for 1 in rp year before the blueprint adjusts itself to the new shape. We already have lore for this, it seems like you are just kinda adding some of your own stuff to the lore that's already there in the Monk lore while changing some stuff. Here is an older example from I don't know who from the old Monk post on the forums. It doesn't get much more complicated than this really.. See the man on the left? This is Bob. Say hi, Bob! On the right is Bob's soul. As you can see, it looks just like Bob. Now, Bob is out adventuring when an Orc comes up and lops off his arm. Oops. Why isn't important, what's more important is what happens when he visits a Monk in desperate need for Healing. This is what the Monk sees. As you can see, Bob is physically hurt, but his soul is fine. Now, the Monk summons forth the Triumvirates power through either Prayer Healing or Silent Healing, and this power rebuilds Bob's body from his spirit 'blueprint', and he's as good as new! But yeah, 1 year not 1 hour.

TorrentDay here I come..

"Yes, it is quite obvious how this ward can be abused, especially in Vailor and the docks. Usually the wards would only be placed around a cloud temple, but this time they extend across the entire docks which happens to be the hub of activity in these lands. I am not at all sure there is something we can do about this, but it seems the corrupt lands are stretching out, and I doubt we will be spending much more time in Vailor anyway. I will pray to the Triumvirate, ask them what we can do to fix all this. Perhaps if we find new, uncorrupt land the wards can be altered so this issue can be settled." He said to his mother Alirya while he worked in the temple, rearranging some books and offering his scribe some notes who then copied the content into Yohei's journal.

-don't know what happened at the end there but editing doesn't work so pretend that didn't happen-

A fellow Monk would read out the notice to the Elder Monk, afterwards delivering a message from Monk Yohei, to Blundermore. The Monk waited at the docks until he noticed the old man with the long white beard and left him with a letter. "Dear Blundermore, It seems there may be some confusion on what a Monk truly represents and can do. We are not a group that simply supports the good of the world, we do not heal so that 'good' may conquer evil and overall these points and most importantly, we do not pick sides. It is what makes a Monk a Monk; neutrality. It is understandable that some, or perhaps even the majority of people would like for 'evil' to be purged from the temple, as it is the most popular place for general chatter; but to us there is no such thing, nor is there a way to do it. Whether we wanted to or not, it is not in our power to alter the way the wards work, and we do trust the Triumvirate in their choice to allow both good and evil within the borders of said ward. Our beliefs may not be altered by anyone other than the Triumvirate themselves. To keep this message clear, to sort out any confusion. The Monks will not set out to create an un-neutral ground for the people of Vailor, and will remain supporters of true neutrality. Both good and evil are welcome by the triumvirate to roam the temple grounds. If there are any questions regarding this matter, or thoughts you may contact us again, but no action by the monks will be taken in this matter. If you decide to take action against the Cloud Temple and the neutral grounds it provides, I cannot tell how the Triumvirate will respond. Make your choices with wisdom, and care. Yours Truly, Wilven Monk Yohei Khen'aum of the Cloud Temple"

You were the best Tsu <3

Will you let me bring back Undead without Iblees? Server wants an antag, little rp drive. I have a group of old undead who know the issues, we want to work on a reboot that works, rather than giving up. I dont want Undead to be the main antagonist again, rather bring them back like the Harbingers or Ascended. Give guilds a real threat and some rp drive.

Ye I always liked the server better without the plugin... it was a good attempt but way too many limitations were implement . Feels like the mechanic is used more to pass time, like grinding in an mmorp rather than be used for the primary focus of LoTC which is roleplay.

I think my time as the Undead in Athera probably held most of my favorite moments I had here on lotc. However by far my favorite moment was when I became an Elder Monk of the Wilven Monks.

Allowing a fellow Monk to read the message for him, the Elder Monk seeks the golem.

I appreciate your profile picture. Nice vid. Warmetal I love you.

When I knew you back in the day, you weren't the nicest person to be around.. We had our fun times but you did boast about being able to ddos and dos people and such and even threatened to do it to me once, and quite frankly I never actually thought you could do anything. You tended to lie a lot to make yourself look better (with the opposite effect) and boasted about things like hacks and such. People can change, and I feel I'm a prime example of that. You knew me back in the day too and as you know I was super edgy and everyone hated just about every action I made. I hacked and I swore at mods and was all around toxic, I don't doubt that people can change but that is just from what I know about you from as far back as Anthos, and primarily from our talks around the time of Anthos when we got banned for breaking into a bunch of conclave houses and stealing too much out of the chests, and last year in Athera when we had that skype call. Truly I don't mean anything rude by this.. and I don't mean to damage your rep at all, but that is just my pov since you tagged me.

Either way, it makes it not fun for everyone else and the whole point of these events is for things to be fair, organized and fun. And if a cheater won, it would discourage people to not only play fair but to enter the events at all, all that is not worth a silly in-game item, as it ruins the fun for everyone else but the guy that won. Also, can't push in line temple restricts it :)

Well if he won by cheating it was not a fair win, he didn't deserve to win the item because it was not fairly won. He should have played fair and used that lucky roll when it was his turn to do so. Sorry but he definitely did not deserve the sword because of that.

Yeah honestly I haven't seen a good market event like this since our last Monk Market in Anthos. This was a great market and honestly leslie did great coordinating the whole thing and quite well. The Elder Monks had no issues and we all loved this market, even those who were not there. I hope we get to have you on the next one! And the one after that! ..... etc forever. Great event, just what the server needed to feel alive again.

How many players do you think can work in an event? Based on only my time as Undead and some Monk events I think only a few members can truly make a grand event. When too many people are added in to help, progression and coordination becomes a tremendous issue and ultimately leads to the failure of many events. To be more blunt, I'd say 5 people max could pull off a really great event, anything more will cause too many people to feel uninvolved and uninterested. As an example, the Undead in athera all sort of hated each other. The different sections of the Undead didn't get along, and a lot of the players that made up the Undead had ooc issues with each other, although none were truly discussed among the full group, it was mostly just ooc blabber in the ears of the lead roles it felt like. Did you like the old 'bounty board' monster hunting events? I will leave myself out of this one, since I have had no experience with the bounty boards. What is your opinion on PvE in events? PvE events are definitely essential for filler, and as much as people don't like filler it is necessary for large plotlines, without some filler events for the larger ones to come, the plotline will really feel empty and most won't even care about it. I think the largest issue with Undead from the inside pov is that people were too scared to speak about their PvE events or events in general. We definitely need PvE events frequently to keep things interesting, throwing in prizes really helps too I've noticed. What do you think of allowing some events, such as dungeons and fights, to be repeatable to allow different groups to experience the same event? I do like this idea in some aspects, but when it comes to main storyline I don't think events should be re-played. But things like dungeons sounds like it could actually make for some entertaining rp. What is your opinion on large event storylines? How can they be improved? This one I can't stress enough.. and I hope you take what I say into consideration at least with this question. A main storyline is truly essential for a roleplay server to thrive, and for new players to start up. A main storyline makes for wonderful stories explained by old roleplayers, and there is a connection with all players that can't be broken unless it's by the administration. I think the Undead were way too uncoordinated and we did not do enough events. When we did do events however we worried a lot about criticism and then things became stressful and it ended up becoming a chore for us all rather than something we really wanted to do for everyone. IBLEES is a staple in our lore, and with a proper rewrite bringing him back seems ideal. Just like George Lucas, rewrites are your friend lotc. There is a lot of potential with Iblees and honestly the Undead and all that is not a bad idea in the slightest, but how it was pulled off ended up causing problems. As a side note, roleplay battles between undead and real players was a real struggle. Personally when it came down to it, PVP was the way to go during Undead events, and roleplay battles never worked out in the end. People will always get mad about losing their items but then again they were the ones who wanted to fight the server's Antag. And we did die all the time so it was more than possible to kill us. We were OP but I mean... we were supposed to be for a real threatening fight to occur. This fight occurred outside of our base, and it was essentially Ascended VS the Undead. Now the Ascended did not have a PVP plugin and we did, so when we ended up PVP fighting there were some issues. We wiped them all out in a few seconds it was quite unreasonable and it would not have made as much sense in a real storyline. To fix this, maybe a one on one pvp fight would have been best, and I do remember those were very fun for both sides and I do mean that. Too many people causes for unorganization and no fun. And this is what you don't want to do to your friendly Antags. THIS WAS AN RP FIGHT and of course I died and was overpowered but I was unable to really respond to anyone, and my emotes were sloppy and ultimately I couldn't pull it off in the slightest (just to note, I was expected to roleplay the whole thing and respond to each person rather than fight with mechanics) (anyone who remembers that I'm sorryyyy <3). PVP is the way to go with more than 1 or 2 people, I could not handle that. I think we just need to learn from our mistakes, and really try again instead of just giving up on the main storyline. As long as we don't make the same mistakes twice, a really good storyline is just over the horizon.

This is neutral thread. All natsocs welcome.
