After a fearful sight at sea, and the stacking o bad luck I've retired and taken to land with nothing but the clothes on me back and my need for drink.

Thank you so much my friend for filling me in! I'm absolutely having a soulgasm just looking over the forums again. I'm excited for the new update!

Hi roleplayers! I've been traveling for a little over a year now and was only able to log into LotC once to test out my new computer. I've settled down for about a month and want to get back into role playing in LotC. What have I missed? Is there any new updates? I am unfamiliar with any sort of profession system so some info on that would be awesome as well. Thanks!

I checked out your PMC... Oh how I love the quality of your skins. +1 sir, fine work.. (Also, hope you don't mind if use your Jamaican Trader skin for RP)

OKAY! So a while ago I donated for Gold VIP and got the in-game perks but my forum account still doesn't say that I'm a donor... Can I get any help with this!?

I would also like to add the fact that more information on how to be a devout follower of the religion can be added if and when needed.

Sometimes, an old man can be found taking a pilgrimage up to a peak in which holds within itself a dragons den. Often people don't question the old man, but once, a small village boy by the name of Titus decided to follow this old man. As the path grew more difficult to walk, it was easy to tell it was not often trodden. When the old man had reached his destination, the boy watched the happenings from a safe distance. The pilgrim, weary from his journey stood in front of the remaining bones of a dragon. In front of this colossal, dead creature, the pilgrim un-leashed a sheep he had brought with him on his journey. A dagger of sharp steel was soon after used to sacrifice the sheep. The boy gasped. After the slow death of the sheep, when the blood explored the cracks in the dirty floor of the cavern, the pilgrim began to chant words. Words of luck and good fortune. After his prayers, the old fart returned home, his pilgrimage over. Titus also returned home to a worried mother and chores to be done, he only spoke of his findings to his friends. WHAT exactly am I proposing? Good question, I basically wanted to have dragon worship be a small bit of culture to Farfolks and any other races. Even though no magic would truly come from it, it could be a developed (but simple) religion. Once a year, a dragon worshiper would travel to a location of ANY fallen dragon (not daemon dragon, just a normal creature dragon) and make a pilgrimage to offer a sacrifice of any creature. After sacrificing the creature the pilgrim would say a chant (this can be customized to each character) and then receive an RP blessing (if desired). And example of a blessing could be RPing good crops for the next season. Something that can't be considered OP or magic. If one returns to the sacrificial site on a later date, the sacrifice would be gone. This could mean simply that wolves came by to eat the remains or maybe... Something darker... But it won't be answered. Leave some unanswered mystery to make the religion weirder. I'm trying to emphasize the fact that it wouldn't be a magic based religion because nobody can prove that these sacrifices can do anything (like religions IRL today... Debatably). I hope dragon-worship Lore can be implemented or simply just thought about. Animal and creature worship is an interesting basis for RP events and RP events in general. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, cheers.

Okay thanks sir

So, is it possible to roleplay a dragon worshiper? I have been wanting to do this for a while now and I'm wondering if there is any lore I could follow or if I have to make a proposal for some lore.. Are there even dragons IN Athera? And I don't mean the Daemon Dragons but just normal dragons..

I like this, I just wish it could be more materialized in minecraft. But oh well! We have imaginations for a reason..

Wait, is the Halfling aging system the same as Tolkien's? Because if your character is seventeen, he's considered a child... I'm not sure though, can someone please tell me? Is Halfling aging the same as Human?

Lately I haven't had much time to roleplay as a character of importance, a character where others may depend on me... I find myself popping on and off for about twenty minutes at a time and this got me to my idea. I want to create a character similar to dark souls lore but trying to make it original. I personally like the idea of roleplaying a depressed, wandering knight that wanders around (didn't see that coming) and slays monsters and explores dungeons. Other players might find me on the side of the road or in a castle, sitting and talking to myself. This would then lead them into roleplaying with me and I get to explain: "Oh, you ask why I mutter to myself? Why it is because I am cursed, slowly dying, like an outlaw walking to his hanging.. I do not sleep and I do not have happiness... I am slowly dying of a plague, that eats me from the inside... " I would then ask them to go retrieve something for me to extend my life span, this would make the other player to feel of importance and as if he or she going on a quest. Basically I feel like somedays when I log on I just say "I want to do something Heroic!" and I never run into anybody that wants to go on adventures... So I wanted to give that opportunity to other players so that if they want something adventurous to do, they can come to me and I'll give them a simple or large task. Essentially I will be an NPC quest giver! So what do you guys think? Would this work and be fun? I think I personally would have fun writing up some interesting tasks... So tell me what you think! Have a great Elven day! -Appletart

I feel like these new professions and racial bonuses might take away the roleplay aspect and replace it with an mmorpg feel. I guess this will attract a curtain kind of player but it will be unattractive to some of the older, dedicated players. Don't get me wrong, it seems really cool, just don't take away the roleplay focus in LotC. An idea would be that when your doing something that has to do with your profession a message would pop up in chat saying *You dip the weapon into the water, steam rises like wildfire*. This would make you feel like stuff is going on even though you might be alone. So again, the new system seems great, just keep it mostly roleplay please.

This would be cool, it would focus on making the world seem more real. journeys actually are journeys, not strolls. I feel like when I say "I am off on a holiday to great dwarves mountains" I would want it to take a couple hours, not 25 minutes.
