The following links will help you RP the race properly, use them as references. For skins, @chaosgamer_does them for free if I remember correctly. If you want a high-quality skin, I highly recommend buying one- I personally commissioned my skins initially from Rwk0 & Fruune, and armor/outfits from around 15+ others. Good luck if you're serious!

clicked for shitpost rune lore, received serious rune lore disappointed but also excited, very based. looking forward to runic cannons

"By the Titan, it's finally happened." Haskir remarks in awe at the missive settled on his desk.

"This mention of the fabled 'body pillow' is important," Haskir remarks as he flips through the newspaper, "Vivyne, place an order for me before they're outlawed!" @JoanOfArc

"Oh no," Haskir frowns, "They must not have liked what I've done!" He then looks at his map, unable to locate the place he should avoid.

"Powerful." Haskir comments, "And expected, after Haelun'or acknowledged Rubern with a treaty."

"I need to update my maps," Haskir scoffs, "Where is this 'Rubern' war camp again? Hopefully not smack-between Providence and Karosgrad!" He chuckles.

Disagreed. You're not losing it forever. I'm telling you that as an Aether VIP if it means anything- you'll get it back with time and, unfortunately, sometimes bugs happen. VIP is a donation anyway, and isn't for all intensive purposes supposed to be something to provide you benefits. Just a shiny tag and a higher slot on the tab list. I'm honestly surprised we get anything.

Thank you for consulting the community with a vote. +1

"This is adorable." Haskir remarks after plucking the invitation from his mailbox. "I'll have to be in attendance."

Haskir quirks a brow at the publication's mentions of Aiera. "It took a brief few minutes for me, a Kha', to translate the texts .. there are books on this language." Inhaling deeply, he sighs aloud, "It tells of where she fled to and for why .. but they'll never discern it, I suppose." Rolling up the paper, he takes it off to store it on a shelf with the other trillion copies of texts he obsessively collects.

not gonna argue w/ you, not worth the time on opinionated ordeals; fixes i listed are tried and tested true save for soulstones and vortex problems, not sure why they were ever abandoned in the first place tbh. just wish lotc wasn't an MMO and instead a sandbox mcrp server like it's advertised

btw like 90% of the server's current problems would be fixed by removing nation tax, or lowering it. after 3 days of voting i can barely buy iron armor/sword and some food so i can safely walk between nations

seems like it for me but my whole account seems bugged. you break some wood to build a wood house but then you're all out of energy. rip to anyone wanting to rebuild their prebuilds that dont produce rp ig

just revert to arcas market and let people hoard who cares about inflation because we're here to rp, not trade GME (see #4 also). inflation is fixable by capping minas production in voting but lol staff won't regulate that because it cuts votes. economy is constantly borked due to the way minas production functions like a fort knox money printing factory. ultimately its an rp server, and really true value is in iron because iron + good pvpers win wars and land. you use energy to mine blocks bro. nobody wants to use energy mining granite/andesite/diorite/sand lol u gain nothing useful why would you not add SS slots? lol the map is titanic, typically only bandits complain about more warps/ss slots. have you ever walked from warp to elvenesse? who cares about the lore bro we wanna rp not play daggerfall 7.5k because skin artists on the forums make **** all off of mina prices right now, and nobody wants to trade minas for skins because of taxation in cities due to nation taxation. gatekeeping means people oocly bar you from magics/cas for reasons, which mixes ic/ooc and creates toxic environments, making people waste time when doing the rp for a magic/ca, happens all the time with people controlling lore sects with TAs, always has happened report bad staff, hold them accountable; dont really care about "staff shortages", get rid of bad staff. no excuses discourage ooc bickering over rp conflict, simple as. works pretty well if you just ghost someone confronting you ooc over irp issues. just find them irp to bicker. no they aren't. read the first post and see the issues. feel like you didnt read the thread but all g. if all of the above were done then the intake of players would likely shift by a 50% margin, because those things were in place (subtracting vortex) when all was well and on an up-tick, per the stats.

i believe you're under the impression that telanir will log in at all regardless of what people do edit: also no large changes will occur based on this thread save for soulstone slots because soulstone slots are already a planned change

remove nation tax remove vortex energy use on useless build mats add purchased creative+fly for nation ROs add soulstone slots increase player bank tax caps to 7.5k end gatekeeping on CAs/magics remove corrupt and biased staff encourage irp wars not ooc conflict rp with noobs do all of this and the server will destroy rival servers and telanir will see his #roadto500 complete without logging on

"road to 500!" *goes on a half-year hiatus

I want to comment on my experiences at least recently compared to the last year after I was banned for a few recent months. At least when I came back this past week, I by a little bit feel like a new player -- new map, new cities, plenty of new people or at least changed usernames and it feels like LoTC is just about a whole new world and community altogether. But I know the community in fragments, I know how to find RP, I know how to find events, storylines, and how to progress. When you know how all of it works, you find fun where ever you look. Hell, I walked around Almaris last night and randomly was given an event by D4NNA at a ruin that was honestly REALLY cool of them to do. I was solo, and that little bit was very enjoyable and cute, nothing was dangerous and it was mostly atmospheric -- but it gave me and my character something to talk about, something to refer back to and potentially return to. That is a prime example of a quality which adds to player retention, but a new player might not even look around the wilderness of Almaris. We can't of course expect ST to provide this for everyone and their mother though. While I felt like I was in a way playing an Elder Scrolls game with that interaction, it isn't the same for everyone. But that little interaction was just enough to tell me, "Well it isn't so bad after all." You walk around Almaris right now and, I think I say this reluctantly, while the map is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and I know it was painstakingly pieced together, it's so-so large, the cities while extravagant are impossibly titanic, and it's a serious task to find RP during less active hours. Vortex is a choke hold on a curious new player and old player alike, and it's just such a daunting task to advance now. I'm Aether VIP. I had a vault. I know people. I have connections. I have magicks. This isn't as daunting a task for me to get set up, but still I feel some looming wall I need to scale that -- I really don't want to. I want to roleplay, that's where the value of my character shows. Not through mechanics or Vortex. All of these daunting tasks before me are like an impassable mountain to a newer player and, I feel like these retention rates will drastically change in a year's time unless something is done now. No amount of cool atmospheric encounters in the wilderness of Almaris can change those things, only decisions on a leadership level will. A few things can fix the issues I've listed. Add an increased number of soulstone slots. This way, you aren't traveling for 30 years on this beautiful albeit massive map. Consider changes to Vortex. I think resource mines should be modified -- nobody wants to use energy on wood. Allow for nations to purchase a very restricted limited creative. Limited-limited-creative. I don't know -- just let people finish their ugly, incomplete builds so they're pretty like they should be. So they function, and draw in active RP. Plus too with limited creative, pre-built places which now realize their cities are very badly designed for activity centralization can fix their issues relatively easily. Quit making LoTC a job. It shouldn't be one. It's for fun. Player retention of those who "quit later" happens either from this, drama, or boredom. Vortex currently makes LoTC into a job. There are ways to fix it -- and I know development team is trying, but also be sure to know when enough is enough. If you find a fix, awesome. If you don't, well- Vortex should suffer the same fate as Nexus. Root out bad, corrupt staff. I can say this with absolute confidence that I know at least twenty permanently active people who have quit, or nearly quit LoTC the past year due to toxic staff. Sometimes they report it, sometimes they don't. Your permanent playerbase is important to consider too, in fact most important. Listen to community polls, feedback, everything. You don't need to make everyone happy, you can't, but at least try to find common ground. But the above has been harped on for a while. I think Treshure and Marb and the rest of Community Team are doing good work. Statistics are a really good thing to have and it is very telling of where the server needs to work, and is very telling of how well enjoyed the current server is. Old players suck it up and keep on walking, but new players won't. They don't have an attachment here. Good stuff guys.
