who?

((Can't tell if you're joking or not, but this is actually an outlaw clan affiliated with the dreadlands if I'm correct. Nothing to do with Urguan. Anyways, try to keep the post clear for applicants yea?))

Community Contest Results First of all I would like to apologize for the large delay in getting the results out as I had unfortunately come across several IRL circumstances that prevented me from completing the judging. That being said, the results of the contests! Artists Contest: Map Maker Skin Makers Contest: Mythical Monsters Builders Contest: Workshops Writers Contest: The First Rush Thanks everyone for all the wonderful submissions. I’ll get into contact with the winners once I have the prizes to hand out.

Its just a weapon. No lore is needed for this, just as no lore was needed to introduce swords, axes, halberds, etc. As Aerial said, you don't see them much simply because no one RP's them. They are a rather unwieldy weapon after all. If you want to see about doing something in nexus with them then go post something in the tech forums. As for this thread? I guess you can technically consider the lore to be denied as flails are already a thing and your story would not be cannon. As a side note you also posted this in creative writing, there is a separate subforum for lore submissions.

No, I didn't think of that I was a bit more concerned with other things. Speaking of fathers, mine actually taught me patience. Did yours? Remember you're complaining about like a week or two delay on a contest for fun. This contest never even had to happen in the first place. Is this really something you want to expend your energy complaining about?

Sorry I've been busy IRL recently due to helping my dad out after he suffered from sudden Cardiac Arrest and had to have a CRT implant. I'm sure you've just been dying to hear who can assemble pixels into the prettiest arrangements and win some fake gold coins from it. Dont you worry your little head about it, I'll get it done soon so you don't suffer from heart failure yourself.

Theres been a few, though I can't remember all of them off the top of my head. Ski and Mth to name some though. Ski passed in a later trial. Regardless, I don't see how that is really relevant to the thread. As for the rest of the thread itself, I gotta say I'm really dubious going into this sort of change. The change itself means nothing, its not really something to get mad over. I don't really care what we are called, so long as it makes sense and is easy for players to follow. While the intentions behind the change are good, that of wanting a positive change on the server, I'm somewhat inclined to agree with many players sentiments that this is the wrong way to go about it. No one gains any differing perception of staff based on their titles. They gain it from the actions of the staff member / team. Hopefully the community will be able to see some more tangible changes shortly in order to prove wrong the fears of staff giving false promises and making a show of work rather then doing something that contributes in a positive way. Also, Aengoth hits it pretty bang on.

Sure, but you'll have to share the prize if you place.

A few days ago I had the idea to put up another contest for the aspiring artists of LotC. I found only one real problem with the idea, however; in comparison to the rest of the community our artists get an awful lot of contests. That's why I tried to think up of a few contests so that most members of the community can take part and have fun in a friendly competition. Artists Contest: Map Maker Skin Makers Contest: Mythical Monsters Builders Contest: Workshops Warriors Contest: The Grand Vailorian Tourney [COMPLETED] Seekers Contest: Treasure Hunt [COMPLETED] Writers Contest: The First Rush Reminder: pay attention to whichever contest you are participating in. Submissions for each contest are to be made to different people, so make sure to check first before accidentally submitting to the wrong person. All contests, excluding the Treasure Hunt and the Tourney, will close submission in 2 weeks time, around Sunday June 12th. Time may be extended if necessary.

Tis the season for your views it would seem. This time we’re asking the players their opinions on skills. More specifically, skill wipes. Is this something you have an opinion on? If so, now is the chance to voice it. The techs are taking on the momentous task of rebalancing how our systems work with the approach of both 1.9, and the new map *(Progress of new map still unconfirmed, I have no affiliation with its production)*. With this in mind, we’d like to know if something should be done about the existing amount of accumulated exp in skills. Some questions to consider: ----- Would you be in favour of or opposed to a complete skill wipe? (That means resetting all currently accumulated exp for all professions to zero for all characters) ----- Would you be in favour of or opposed to a partial skill wipe? (That means that all currently accumulated exp is scaled back. An example being something like “All Aengulic crafters are now set to Veteran”) ----- If you are in favour of a partial skill wipe, how far scaling back do you think would be reasonable? ----- Would you be in favour of or opposed to no skill wipe at all? ----- Can you tell us why you are in favour of a particular system? If you have an opinion, please take your time to let us know. You can give more feedback than just the questions provided as well, as they are just a template for responses. Thanks everyone.

This is neat. I'm not even on the tally yet, but do you want me to send you a pic over a forum PM or something?

While walking through the cloud temple Dizzy passes by the old "Sky God" graveyard. Seeing a slight movement out of the corner of his eye he glances down towards the mangled body of a gypsy that lay mere meters from the graveyards entrance. "Huh, t'ought ah saw it twitch fer a moment"

To be clear, the people organizing the transition events at the time had no control over the length of time spent on the boats. That was never supposed to last even close to as long as it did. We unfortunately were held up waiting for the techs to stop enjoying their IRL lives and actually put up the new map/plugins.

DISCLAIMER: Does this thread mean we are close to a map change? Truth be told, I have no idea. I am not personally involved in the creation of the next map, so I can’t really say one way or another. However, I do believe that it is crucial that we receive player input ahead of time before we get to the point of no return, so to speak. So let's get right down to it. What is your view on map transition events? Questions to consider: What kind of event would you like to see? Would you rather see the descendants pushed off our current land, or giving incentive to move themselves? If you want to be pushed off, how so? If you want incentive, what would that be? How should we travel to the next map (boat, portal, etc)? Please let us know your thoughts on the matter and we’ll be more prepared for the next transition when it comes up.

Lightning-bound golems aren't a thing anymore. Also, multi-core golems are possible now. There is no issue with the lore.

I read it over myself and I found no real issues with it personally. I'm not sure I quite understand where you are coming from. For the first part, that it was locked during the period to a few people, that is easily explained. This character gained the knowledge through other means, research in ancient ruins or the like, or perhaps even learned it before the event that caused it to be locked down from the public. He kept his existence hidden and tried to avoid being well known. Simple as that. As for the second part... can you elaborate more?
