Make a heathen spirit/ancestor/moon worshiping pagan dark elf today!

The real problem with the server is that there are players who have the audacity of not liking what I like.

It's like breaking and entering another man's house to provoke him to attack you and when he does you call the police

Am I dramatic or does literally all national roleplay feel completely fake?

At the end of the day this is a game where people are playing primarily with their friends. If you can not befriend people, that says something both about them and about you. I personally do not know who you are and am not trying to insult you. I wish that you could rise without ever talking in discord, but that is not really how most places work on this server.

Another thing that is used to justify retconning RP. Not everyone who uses lore agrees with rewrite.

Remove magic and non-human races. PVP only conflict. Unlimited raids. Remove non-military RP.

@MedvekomaThe real issue isn't the abstract lore, its arbitrary nature stems from the rp itself being free-form. This is why tabletop rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons will always be better, you have mechanics that factually say someone is stronger and the fight itself is dictated by concise numbers. Player intellect translated to character intellect through RP still exists, just with streamlined rules. It's one of the biggest reasons I quit lotc, and is a reason I won't be returning. There are even dumb downed tabletops with simple number sets using 6 sided dice if you find playing the norm (DnD) boring. Some even more complicated such as GURPS. Free-form RP just isn't for me, after 6 years I realized that. Dunno why it took so long considering the massive amount of LARPs and tabletops I already attend. This is ignoring the removal of lore (which I disagree with) that exists which is an inherent problem in a fantasy world or any narrative really. Lore is treated as game mechanics rather than actual story progression by the server, which removes the point of the writing itself. No lore should ever be removed, just changed or caused to disappear with viable RP.

Point of the argument is with mechanics you wouldn't need pvp. The lore that offers no narrative is relative and arguable depending on the piece. You don't remove lore for becoming irrelevant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_hole
