  1. hey dude, heard you had a rough time with a GM about your skin. If you want, I can take a crack at making you a new one with a similar appearance but a more roleplay-friendly style 😄

  2. i think a prereq to having a vote on what players can & can’t roleplay should be actually roleplaying on the server

  3. I for one think the swear filter is a good change, and would like to add some innovative substitutions for inappropriate words that I think will improve roleplay:

    “sutica” → “helena”

    “elf” → “human”

    “magic” → “good orenian values”

  5. the staff should not OOCly prop up nations. every nation on this server should be able to gather its own resources and protect its own territory, the ones that can’t should be allowed to perish

      50 block rule was terrible. Basically just turned freebuild into notfreebuild.

       

      was kinda funny when Dalek tried to use the rule to get half of Belvitz removed by staff, I guess. That’s about it tho.

  6. telanir kinda chadding out


    pretty wild. if he had just said his goal was to get to 500 players this whole time I would have almost no grounds to criticize him. wondering how much productive time this server has lost to pure needless bureaucracy. here’s to 1000 more years of lotc dominion

  7. hey jackass, maybe if you didn’t go “haha sleepymode hiatus” 2 weeks out of every month ppl wouldn’t have to work around you to get events done. absolutely shameful that u flipped out at the two people actually trying to make an event work bc you made them have to abuse pex to do it. don’t remove our posts cheers

  8. i say we give korvic lore admin as a sort of honorary title, as a sign of deference to his power. the current lore admin doesn’t really do anything so i can’t see it having much of an impact on the server

  9. I would just like to say that this armor is more inaccurate to a high medieval setting than gunpowder

      (begin blog post)

       

      This is Maximilian plate armor, which was developed in the early 16th century in response to the predominance of pike-and-shot warfare. People roleplay it on LoTC because it lets their character be virtually invulnerable to enemy swords (”your thrust bounces off my gorget”). Its actual battlefield purpose, if there was any, was to stop pikes from penetrating a rider at high velocity during a cavalry charge. It was heavy, impractical for hand-to-hand combat, and very, very expensive. Lighter armor made of cloth and chainmail (with metal helmets and cuirasses to protect vital bits) would have been used by footmen, who didn’t need to worry about a pike flying into their face as they charged toward the enemy.

       

      Meanwhile, the 14th century saw cannons (towed or even handheld) used in sieges. Since the late 1200s, the Chinese had been using guns in skirmishes with Jurchen and Mongol raiders. The Mongols for their part, after conquering China, probably spread knowledge of gunpowder to Europe, Iran, and Arabia through their conquests. There’s no reason LoTC should ban the development and use of rudimentary firearms. I’d argue our setting is less accurate, and less fun, as a result of the “techlock.” 

       

      I think that synthesizing period-accurate and anachronistic elements to make our fantasy setting more fun is good, and we should do it more often. There is no reason that descendant history has to mirror real-life history. There is no reason we should strive for historical accuracy on a server with immortal elves and magic. If we race to the bottom trying to ban everything that isn’t “medieval” we’ll deprive ourselves of creative freedom. We’ll punish well-intentioned players for trying to roleplay. Repeal techlock pls

      doesn’t matter, tythus and telanir don’t want guns, so no amount of logic will give you them

  10. how is it the server is less stable at 3:30 AM with 5 players on than it is at peak hours w/ >100

    1. Punished_Pup

      Punished_Pup

      Basically from what Korvic think the issue is, that the crashes happen when the server is saving information and large GCs (Garbage Cleanup) have been happening.

    2. monkeypoacher

      monkeypoacher

      that’s rlly interesting. god bless korvic

    3. CrazyBigSpiders

      CrazyBigSpiders

      Except large saves and GC shouldn’t be happening when there are low players. Not to mention Paper does incremental saves not 1 large save like vanilla does. Doesn’t make sense at all. Also, GC stands for Garbase Collection not Garbage Cleanup

  11. thinking about u...

  12. merry christmas lord of the craft roleplaying server

  13. @Telanir, if you’ve learned anything from this it should be that the selection process needs to be public. It takes the entire community to keep people safe, and players should be able to voice their concerns about team members before they’re accepted.

     

  14. welcome to clown town

  15. you guys just have to split up warclaims now. ppl suggested this like 3 years ago during the duke’s war and it was ignored. the server can’t handle >100 people in one spot all clicking and shooting arrows

    1. warlord of filth

      warlord of filth

      could split it up into various stages i.e.

       

      skirmishing phase w/ bows and cav

      then actual siege ****

       

      idk, make it a round system or like battlefield or some ****

    2. monkeypoacher

      monkeypoacher

      divide every warclaim up into flanks of no more than 30 players total fighting at the same time. put these flanks outside of render distance of each other and stagger the fights. delicious lag-free warclaims at the small cost of not having huge blob fights

       

      edit: or yeah that sounds fun

    3. argonian

      argonian

      Splitting it into stages just means the same 30 or whatever people on each side get to fight every time and everyone else never does. 

       

      Staggered flanks better imo.
