  1. Question to anyone willing to answer: What makes good villainy?

      Good villains should create RP instead of circle jerking dark magic types or pixel looting for no reason like we do here on LoTC. Antagonists exist to create conflict where there is none, without an antagonist/villain there is no conflict and thus, no RP.

      Good villains create a role play where their only goal is not to win, you're also attempting to have the other side enjoying this role play as well. Additionally, not all villains are mentally ill vicious people, they may have sympathy and such, unless they really are mentally ill and viscous, if so, please be more original!

  2. Can I have a show of hands for the number of people who actually RPed their druid going mad because of their connection to nature? Since that is like...The ONLY downside to being a druid.

      On that note, if we let people RP how they want we would have a large number of people running around with dragon wings, not getting tired when using any magic and having a sword that bursts on fire every time they sneeze...

  6. Anyone got a good name for an Elven character? Simple, like my mage 'Lorien'. Unique, not like 'Fred' or 'Bob'. Must not have apostrophes. I'll give 200 minas to the one who gives a really swell name.

  8. White Rose back, and something else back. So many things that were 'dead' are coming back. I'm pretty surprised about the second thing, too.

      I find the whole deal very, very disappointing. They should've done the book thing later on, because we just burnt the whole map's booze in less than a month. We'll be lucky if it lasts longer than 6 months.

      I personally think the staff is doing a great job at giving everyone time to get a lightning insurance in case of undead keeps in the neighborhood.

    4. Aedan The Bard

      Aedan The Bard

      I mean, if you look at it the way you just said, it's well done. However, there's still the issue the "surprise" was spoiled oocly, so the reaction ICly will be most indifferent, as not a lot of people behave like their characters during events.

  9. Are ascended basically the 'good' versions of the Undead? I.e. Their minds are bound to their Aengul (Ariel?) in a similar way the Undead are bound to Iblees?

  10. I'm interested in RPing a non-Mage, human character. Are there any families of influence in Oren that have a spot open? Preferably Noble, but I am not picky. If it is a nice crowd, I'd love to join :)

      Well there aren't that many families within Oren that aren't nobility. I guess you could be an Herrick?

    3. Harri

      Harri

      There aren't even that many families in Oren tbh. And by that, I mean the ones you're looking for. Big families with lots of different people around all the time. Most of them are people playing their own bloodline, or are fairly exclusive and not recruiting. Your best bet as a Human would be a peasant like Phoenix said, or try play a Soldier from one of the various military groups around, and earn a name for yourself that way. It's much more enjoyable.

      Passive aggressive? Do you even understand what that means? Lol.

      Good luck finding a teacher. It's not going to be easy, and learning magic takes weeks to months. I'm hoping you're prepared for that, my friend.

  13. I'm starting up a new status update competition. It is for debating. It starts when I post, and ends when the post is gone from recent status updates. The person who I believe has won gets a point. Let's see who gets the most points! Topic today: Is LotC a high, medium/average or low fantasy RP setting?

    2. MetaSolaray

      MetaSolaray

      Medium to low fantasy depending on the people and location. It shows the varity of RP you can get by joining which I think is better then a "one size attempting to fit all but fitting few" forced style.

    3. Heff

      Heff

      Mostly medium-low except for the exceptions of big clerical, magic, and druidic playerbases

    4. Guy d'Yood of Mann

      Guy d'Yood of Mann

      Medium rare. But jokes aside, it's probably for the best. People constantly whine, ***** and scratch over the furniture, pleading for both realism and game solutions at once, so the only way to make it reasonable might be a compromise. But Heff is right. Gotta keep the druids a-rollin' the way they were. Clique they may be, but it's how it works. And clerics aren't very high fantasy, surprisingly, so they do can be cut down a notch innit.

  14. I honestly have trouble believing people think this is a Rollplay server instead of a Roleplay server.

      If someone rolls I usually accept it but then the person who loses does the effect to their body. It's worked pretty well for me so far.

    3. Mephistophelian

      Mephistophelian

      Fair enough. I understand where you get at BNK, but the point I am making is that people /roll for every single emote. Doesn't make sense, honestly. I don't get why they don't just /roll when the hit is likely to connect, not when it is unlikely (for example's sake).

    4. Watty_Banker

      Watty_Banker

      I hate the /roll thing. Its just as bad as the Halfling v Orc thing in pvp. Why can't people rp like in the good ol' days?

  15. Am I the only one who never PvPs on this server? Like, people don't PvP me and I just don't have the laptop to PvP with so PvP is just...non-existant.

      I havent gotten pvp defaulte f in a while. I am on a laptop and my mouse is broken so i cant anyways. But really most people considered "pvpers" enjoy rp combat.

  16. Has anyone ever seen a proper Mage battle where both mages don't power game, don't rage LOOC/OOC and don't /roll , at all? If so, was the battle interesting? I am looking to try out a little battle with someone; a friendly battle. PM me on the forums and we can see what can be done :)

  17. Ok...seeing the responses to my last status update, I think it would be safe to ask everyone this: What would you say if I suggested that a /very/ loose organisation of mages is created where mages group together to have friendly (and occasionally very heated) duels? Like, a mages duelling club, if you will. There could be teams, tag fighting, blah blah blah. I'm not going to define more until I see feedback! ;)

  18. This is a question to all those people with unique animals as pets (etc giant friggin spiders, ice snakes or whatnot); did you have to write lore and stuff for it? Do other people have pets from the same lore you wrote?

      I have a phoenix that someone else wrote lore for. I think if it's a normal animal or an mc animal (giant spider) you can just rp it.

      As much as I enjoy diversity, I always found weird animals like that to be pretty annoying.

    4. OhDeerLord

      OhDeerLord

      I think unless its some weird non-existant breed its fine. But if your making up an animal, or its something fantasy, there should be lore for it. I RP my wolves as being Maned Wolves- A real life breed.

  19. Button walls...so ugly...I can only imagine what new players think of these ugly things. The buttons look like pimples on the face of a hormone crazed teen, to me, and I am used to seeing them, so imagine how it is for new players?

      Eh, mid ASULON would more be around 70-100 from what the years have actually been. Sadly what our actual years are has been hopping all over the place since Asulon, so sadly the formula is incorrect 'Mining' :c

    3. Dohvi

      It wasn't always 14 days = 1 IC year though. That's changed several times since mid-asulon. Used to be shorter.

  24. Could a skilled conjurationist cause deformations in their creations? (i,e, things that are not normally seen in the animal, and was not seen in the animal they dissected). Is this how 'elemental' conjurations occur (when you mix, let's say, fire evo with conjuration to create a flaming wolf)

      Extra eyes and limbs are doable, as long as it doesn't mess with the organism's anatomical structure to the point where it dies shortly after being fabricated. Fur colours? Why not? Seems pretty harmless.

    3. Joe_Blackman

      Joe_Blackman

      I mean, you could use a rose's dye to essentially make a 'hybrid' red furred rabbit.
