Elrik stares at the paper, confused as to how so many people speak and write such better common than him

I would love to but the only problem is I have no way of knowing what I'm allowed to and not to do, I have no idea what I am able to advance and not able to advance

Huh, that's strange. When I think of like science and technology I always think of the dwarves, that's really a difference of opinion I suppose *shrug*

Hello LotC, now before you look at the title and tags and go "ASDFJKL; TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IN LOTC? PREPOSTEROUS!", this post isn't to say that there should be vast technological advancement that turns this server into something more modernized, please read all of the text before jumping to a conclusion or asking a question, as the likelihood is that the question will be answered further on in the text, thank you. Also if something new regarding this topic has happened on the server (I haven't been on in awhile), please inform me so I can get this post deleted, thanks. Science in LotC, good or bad? Mose people would probably say "bad" as the term science on the server is used almost synonymously with "technological advancement". I honestly feel that the addition of sciences (i.e physics, biology, etc. etc.) would drive a new branch of RP; one of which that doesn't revolve around uprisings, magic, or anything generally viewed as fun (sarcasm). Now let's get onto what things could happen with Science. New technology Oh boy, this one again, technology. I honestly feel that adding advancing technology in LotC wouldn't be a bad thing, AS LONG AS THERE'S A LIMIT to what can be done. For instance: "Hey, check out this new bridge I can build now thanks to the addition of physics on the server!" and things of the like. Science has been a major facet in a majority of the things (especially weapons) that go into Lord of the Craft. For instance: crossbows and bridges. Someone couldn't possibly just go "hey, I'm gonna like take the design of the bow and just invert it and put it on a wood block" and actually make an effective weapon out of such a wanton desicion. Math and science would've had to go into the mechanics of the way a projectile is shot, the velocity behind the projectile, and even the projectile itself. With the addition of sciences and technological advancements, things like that could happen, where new crossbows are invented, stronger seige weapons (since those are usually only for war rp purposes with a GM present, making advancements on those would only affect the war side of RP), newer medicines, and the sort. But everthing in moderation. Is there a solution? Short answer: yes. Long answer: most definitely. I feel that if we were to be more in-depth with what players are and are not allowed to technologically innovate (for example, no firearms), we could add a whole new side to rp. And for those asking "well why couldn't we innovate new ways of power and how to use it? people could just be making giant metal robots that run on vegetable oil", well it's simple. As of what is currently possible with Steam power (ask an LM for more details about that) is all that is possible with steam power, we cannot make it any more efficient than it already is, same with any other form of power on the server. Also, I would reccommend that in order to make roleplay even more fair, we take out a majority of the things commonly known in the scientific world today (for example, the knowledge of gravity and forces, [newton's laws] etc. etc.) and make the new batch of RP'ers for science figure all that stuff out in-character. Also, the LM's could team up with the GM's to make specific guidelines for as to what can and cannot be advanced technologically (yes, that means no laser swords or giant mechanical walking war machines that fire out kittens). And that's my spiel. Please post your opinion of the matter, and if you think I'm completely wrong and totally stupid for posting this, please post on here about that as well. Thanks for your time LotC, stay cool.

::OOC:: MC Name: GruntBirthday Did you ever have a character with magic?: Yes, two Are you aware the rules of Magic: Indeed I am~ Skype: (You can PM this to us if you wish) will pm upon request ::IC:: Name: Garroway Firma Age: 21-22 Gender: Male Race: Human What would you like to learn?: First-aid, Survival, Swordsmanship, Self-Defense, Anatomy, Hunting, and tracking, these all serve a much greater, better purpose. I understand that taking on this many courses may be challenging at first, but I will try to be the best student I possibly can. Which Class(es) are you enrolling for?: All classes stated above

Well, let's get started. Crafting times: I know this has been said and sounds pretty old but as a Blacksmith this is a perfect example. I will sit down and go to make an iron pickaxe, not crafting anything else at the time, at it will say 13 minutes required to craft. I am a Fair Blacksmith. I hover over it just before I craft it, and it says it will take 14 minutes. How on earth can that be justified? Also hinges take 10 seconds to make, but an iron door takes 30 seconds. It shouldn't take 1/3 the time to make a large metal door to make flimsy and small hinges. Also, I don't like the idea that if I start leveling up one skill that I end up losing in another. As one of the only people in my group who can fully handle the crafting plugin, I do most of the crafting. It becomes a pain to constantly have to turn XP gain on and off because I end up leveling my Woodworking skill when I craft stairs and such.

In that regard, I believe no one can play as a Temple Monk, but feel free to learn Healing Magic and become a priest

Snow Elves are a culture that were the occurrence of High Elves, it's accepted that they were a sort of genetic defect in their genes. Though I heard rp'ly that it was from an event where a group of High Elves were frozen in a special location and came out of it years later as snow elves. You can only be one or the other I believe, and for Elves to learn magic isn't anything new, though it depends on what you mean as a Monk.

Much nostalgia, such feelings

With the blacksmith profession will they be able to name their swords and stuff that they create?

That's only theoretically with an existing plugin. Assuming they were to make it from the ground up themselves they could find a way to get around that

Another letter returns: "Worry not, and let it be known we support house Fenn'asul and the people of Okarn'fenn if any conflicts were to arise, whether it be with food or people to fight. Yours sincerely, Caeluck Aebek"

((I believe he's talking about the lift up to our lands, which I was under the impression that it was Tundrak's, since he gave us permission to use it as ours)) ((Edit: I also planned to make another lift, but I'll need your help with that Piercing))

Letters are posted all around the Fringe: Dear denizen elves of the Fringe, it has been brought to the Sun Elves' attention that a recent house from the Snow Elves has been banned. We would simply like to make a statement, saying that all members of the House Fenn'asul are considered Honored Guests if they ever enter into Sun Elf lands. Aescepuiaul is watching us all, Sincerely, Caeluck Aebek the Healer

Culture: Sun Elf Have you played a character from this culture?: Yus :3 Describe how you imagine the music this culture would listen to? If you can name a music genre or post an example link that would be even better: Something slow, that has times when it's loud and times when it's very quiet What do you imagine this culture's songs would be about?: Their strive for equality and peace against other races, and their original sorrow from the time when only 3 of them existed What kinds of songs do you think would be most commonly found sung by this subrace? (i.e. war songs, lullabies, jigs, religious music, ballads...): religious songs

I posted an Application Team App awhile ago that was neither accepted nor denied, though I fear that when the AT comes to look for new people they'll only search from the most recently posted Apps, would I be allowed to post another Application or would I just have to sit and wait? EDIT: I read this incorrectly I'm sorry xD could a GM delete it for me?

While it sounds like really fun and exciting for the people participating in wiping out an entire race, it'd be horrible and unfair for the other side. No one should have to PK just because a large group of people want them to

I like the idea, I myself never went to a Brothel in Abresi but from the emotes and discussion I heard from inside when I was a guard seemed pretty interesting +1

Pvp Default: "Hold on a minute I'm gonna go get something real quick, brb" One hundred of his OOC friends come running up behind him after about 2 minutes "Lol okay let's do this pvp default"
