{{Fancy, I enjoyed reading it.}}

{{This guild is interesting but the stories I heard about domestic violence because of a courtyard not being built kinda reduces my temptation to get in touch.}}

As someone who hasn't seen an Aegis, I would be very curious what it would bring. Though, I would take any pill besides the one that says "The Fringe"... I agree with you sincerely Vulcus.

As the nepotist melodies are played in the halls of the Visconti, Julian hears of a new Illatian figure rising to a respected figure. With a soft smile he considers writing a letter to these fair merchants.. One that would bring unity to the people. <Reserved> {{Glad you bring a new group to the Illatian community Heff, goodluck on your adventures mio amico!}}

Yes, that is true. But who would set the standard of good "Magic RP". How would a novice mage be restricted from powergaming or causing inconviences? And the gaining respect incentive adds yet another OOC thrive to get everyone as friends to progress, which deludes RP friends from OOC friends. I wouldn't mind this to be implented, but it could turn sincerely wrong in my opinion.

We have set the standard that magic is accessable for all ourselves. Maybe magic can't be teached to all? Maybe only 5 people on the server get to learn in the end? But that is life, you can't always get what you want. And destroying a server for forfilling a desire of more power is not worth it.

Truly.. This? First of all, Swordfighting & Archery is far easier to explain and monitor than magic. I haven't had many incidents with magic, but overhearing so many LOOC arguments on how a magic would work is just plain annoying and lowers the bar of the server. Many times I have had bannermen in the Visconti powergaming to tears, but it was easy to tutor them and make them actual, proper Roleplayers. Goodluck doing that with something as complicated as magic. If you swing your sword at someone, or shoot an arrow, the only thing you can argue about is accuricy and the movement. On magic? You can even use the moss between the stone as an argument why your magic wouldn't work, and those arguments ARE USED. The GM team can handle Elitism easier than a constant flow of PG and complaints, because that is already happening with other things! While maybe the old system wasn't perfect, if we for once think outside the box and stimulate better behavior in the upper circles, these stimulated example roles will inspire many below them! Elitism can be solved with logic, something illogical as magic can't be solved with logic, as the logic behind it is made up by a human being that must lack logic at something?

It is an necessary evil Jude, because the staff team does not have the capacity to moderate and monitor so much. I don't know if you have noticed, but plently rulebreaking already happens and goes unanswered. The GM team should focus on that, not moderating magic with so many complications and grey-zones that it would take months for one proper guideline on one magic is set. We all want a nation. but only some of the people work hard enough, and have proven they are capable of running one. The same goes with magic.

Please... I enjoyed being a master Illusionist but I PK'd my mage char as soon as I realized that there is just so much.. High Fantasy or not, Magic is suposse to be something special.. Something that merchants on the road spread rumors about, something that could be used as bribery to make someone do something outrageous. I want to see that magic is special and that only a small group of people have them. I understand that this would cause elitism. But I'd rather have an arrogant Blundermore than a large pool of mages that borderline PG new players with their fancy sorcery , criticism on eachother constantly and the heavy inflation that Magic has on its worth.
