Changed Status to Under Review

Changed Status to Denied

Due to this being a guest application, it is being denied as we discussed. However, the reasons why will be below and if you require any help you can contact me! Sorry about the confusion. Your definitions are not correct. Take another look at the rules and you should be set, bud. Your interesting facts should contain at least one fault, as they tend to add depth to a character and make them more fun to play!

Changed Status to Pending

You can take away a CA without a ban. This keeps players on the server, offering a type of punishment they will feel the effects of without being forced away for a period of time. Which I feel is beneficial.

Changed Status to Denied

After the final review your application has been denied. You have the basis laid down for a great character, but you were unable to get it through on your first attempt! Do not fear, you are not denied forever! You can post a new application and will be reviewed again, offering you the chance to go through this process once more! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or any other member of the Application Team as it's our job to help you get on the server and have fun. Below you will find a list of information you are required to edit for your next application to be accepted! Your definitions are incorrect. Go ahead and take another look at the rules, you can find them there. Just make sure not to plagiarize! Your backstory is too short! It must include a reference to current accepted lore on the server as well as tell your character's personal history up until this point! Your description must detail what your character looks like, I would suggest describing what other characters would see when looking upon him as well as perhaps his physical attributes to further add depth to 'James'. Your interesting facts section must include at least one fault. Also, don't be afraid to join the New Player Discord! I hope to see another application from you soon!

If that is the case, I believe it is fair to say they've always needed CAs then.

The Olog you are currently clarifying is a creature far beyond the other races in terms of potential. Yes they have to be stupid, yes they can't learn magic, and sure they don't like the sun. However, we are talking about a species that can lift up to 1,600 pounds. That is insane. They can grow up to 13 ft tall. Sure they are more bestial the larger they are, but that isn't necessarily a weakness. And it ties in with my other point. Beasts, no matter how stupid, have an instinct to survive. They will do anything to survive, it's hotwired into their being. You can play around their stupidity just by playing as if you were an animal. Their height, as mentioned before, is ridiculous. Tree Lords, Atronachs, and Golems can't even be that large and all of them require a CA. On top of that, they are inherently weaker physically, one of which is an end game to a magic might I add, and all of them have a host of weaknesses beside them. The base creature should require a CA in order to be played. Giving people a hulking mass of muscle with easy to ignore weaknesses and a host of strengths easy to powergame is bad. As it stands, we aren't seeing a lot of blacklists or reports. So hoping the average player decides to report these people when most people don't even want the trouble due to DDOsing and other shitty things that happen seems like a bad standard to set.

Help me understand why a creature with various other worldy strengths with the only weakness of "dumb" doesn't require a CA. You know the lore better than I do, however I've seen years of these creatures misused to the point where I believe they NEED to be lore moderated. Even creatures with more defined lore struggle with it, so I do not believe a lack of concrete lore is the issue. EDIT: And if I understand correctly, growing an extra head makes it easier to fight off something that should stonewall an Olog, that being a Mental Mage. I don't foresee people roleplaying the weakness of: "We're two personalities who disagree." Because the instinct of survival, even among dumb creatures, is much higher.

Does this require them to have a CA? Being able to lift 1600 pounds, have multiple heads, various unnatural scales and the like. . . I only skimmed it, so be merciful. It seems like it's a great update for the species, as they should be more defined but as it stands now, it feels as if Ologs are an excuse to powergame. EDIT: I see a CA is required for extra heads, does this apply to the base creature?

Welcome to Lord of the Craft, you have been accepted! Thank you for making all the necessary edits and reapplying in a timely manner! The registration of a forum account is also going to make this a lot more fun of an experience, trust me! If you require any aid during your time on the server, don't hesitate to reach out to myself or any other member of the Application Team. I cannot stress how great the New Player Discord is for meeting other, like minded players as well. Either way, have a great time, man and I hope I run into you on the server!

After reviewing your application, you've been denied. The application itself was near perfect, there are just a few errors that need to be fixed on your next attempt. Before posting a new application, I would suggest registering a forum account that way you can edit your future applications if need be. Below are the necessary edits you must make in order to be accepted, as well as a clarification I must see in order to accept you on your next attempt. Your character description should describe how your character looks. I would suggest describing what other players are going to see when they look at you. The interesting facts section requires one fault, to add depth to the character. In order to apply to the server with a character in a pre-existing Clan, you have to have permission from whoever leads it. So if you can confirm that with me by either sending a message or having the person who approved you send a message I would appreciate it. I would recommend joining our New Player Discord as well, considering it is full of hard working and dedicated members of the community looking to help you get more involved with our server and roleplay. LotC New Player Discord https://discord.gg/eySYjqw

The skin is a good update, however you need to add more information to your backstory. I would also suggest looking over your spelling and grammar. Your description still requires more information, your interesting facts still requires one fault, and your definitions are still incorrect. You have more time to make these edits and you can still reach out to me if needed.
