So it begins

The LC itself is free (unlimited), and 2,500 is just what's being added to have access to the unlimited LC which is provided as part of the application

I think it's more so addressing the issue where the big 3 (Empire, Idunia, Koyo) are allied, and anyone that doesn't agree with them just gets warclaimed and conquered, then listed as KOS pretty much everywhere. They wouldn't be eligible for a lair because they're either too big or are a group that would generally be accepted as a public entity, but aren't able to survive under any of the current realms due to current circumstances.

I believe that's already a part of it :) However when testing, it seems like it's an account-based cooldown when active

So it begins...

My Official Resignation 3rd of The Amber Cold, SA 266 Blessed mali'thill, I've thought long, and had quite a few nights where rest was all but a dream as I pondered the best course for our people. Through this thought, I noticed my own sanity waning, and myself growing stagnant. Knowing this would not further progress or benefit our people, I move to step down from my position as Sohaer. In my place, Veralya Wynasul has agreed to take on the mantle. She has quite a bit more experience with such things than myself, and the introduction of younger blood into our leadership is a necessary thing to bring our people further into this age. While my resignation may come as a surprise to some of you, I am simply stepping back into my old position as the Protector of the Eternal Library and letting someone with greater experience and direction take the lead. You will hear more from Sohaer Veralya soon, and I hope you'll treat her as kindly as you have myself. Stay safe in these tying times, and help our allies whenever you can. Laerean Sylvaeri, Protector of the Eternal Library

Can we get this instead of the other Aeriel Frost Witch lore?

Time for a proper feedback post! Let's begin with the foods and brews themselves. To start off, I believe the having food that gives effects is good on paper, but in practice this would only just be used in PVP. Previous feedback posts wanted less complexity, so while having this would add flavor, it wouldn't be a good addition in the long run. Simpler is better. All the other things such as Rarity, and the stats itself (hunger, perishability, craft time, etc.) are fine. Brewing also sounds good on paper, but we'll have to wait for a more in-depth post to get a full view on what it'll do, to answer some questions like "will drinking the brews restore hunger?" and so on. Finally, I would personally love a system that would allow us to propose custom foods and ingredients so it can not only feel like the community is able to say "Look! I made more food for us!", but so we can have a more fleshed out selection. People like @Murdervish and others with good cooking knowledge would probably love to have foods that are made with the proper ingredients in the proper stations. Onto farming and animal husbandry. As someone who did farming a lot back in the Nexus days, this is a breath of fresh air compared to what we had then. The idea of increased growth speed for certain crops in different biomes will, assuming people have reason to plant those crops, make for a very diverse trade system in that case. I don't believe crop speed should be where it stops though, and my two cents is that it should also have a much higher chance for higher quality ingredients when grown in the correct biome to further solidify a reason to grow certain things in certain places. While the idea of using the same models for certain crops sounds interesting, it could lead to unneeded bloat down the line when someone might think "Oh no, I'm out of grain for my bread! Guess I'll use some rice." which technically does work, but maybe it could be adjusted to show which grain was used, so you would get Bread (normal wheat), Rice Bread (Rice), Cornbread (Corn), etc. Maybe all crops start as "common", rather than having things as a standard, but keep growth rates the same, with a chance to get higher quality ingredients (I'd like some Legendary Orengrain). Maybe we can grow ingredients for hookah drugs, too? Depending on rarity we could get more wacky effects. Now for Animal Husbandry, I wasn't particularly ever into dealing with animals past breeding and culling. Apart from that, I do believe that on paper these changes sound both interesting and could lead to people keeping animals for longer to get higher quality ingredients (Imperial Waygu incoming). One downside to this however lies with the plugin that handles server loads, because currently I really don't see many animals around the map, or have seen any natural spawns recently so while we'd have all these fancy new additions, getting them would be much more difficult than you'd likely expect (please, do we REALLY need to have a plugin to deal with server load instead of optimizing performance?). Server load also makes breeding them much more annoying, because when their AI is off, you need to use a lead on both animals right after giving them the food to actually get children. I'm also interested in seeing how we'll be able to see what the species of the animal is, and its current age. Will it be something we do to the animal (like shift+right-click) to see their stats? Now for a bonus round, a miscellaneous question. If this plugin also eventually extends to Alchemy, would we have it so the potions have mechanical use, like we had back in Nexus? Would be funny to be in a warclaim and drop a bottle of Cockatrice's Breath into a gate room to temporarily stun those inside, or the attackers throwing one into a knucklebiter to get a reprieve from all the clicks.

I'm almost certain you've not RP'd anywhere near Haelun'or in the last 1-2 years, since in recent times it'd been nowhere near as segregated or bigoted. The latter of which was in the process of being worked on, with both humans and other elven subraces starting to take hold in the playerbase before the city was "destroyed". In response to an earlier post you made as well, homosexuality was made legal and widely accepted in Haelun'or since Valindra was the head of state a while back. I won't argue against the elven supremacy stuff though, but I'd correct it to "High Elven supremacy"

Nice (This Post).

If anything, half of me wishes they actually properly nuked the Haelun'or build (erasing it from the map) like they said they would. Got demi-djinn'd then rolled back, and the people that spent months on it basically just have to watch as some other playerbase reuses it. I've got mixed feelings on the Empire.

An ancient druid reads the letter, squinting. "I think someone messed up in this one's dedicancy by not explaining descendants as an invasive species that cause imbalances wherever they go - and that we, as druids, are meant to preserve the balance." he then shook his head, going to put the piece of parchment in a mound of mulch to decompose and return to nature. "Weren't these people also the same ones using unattunement as a political threat, and also threatening other druids with war? Not even during the days of the druid nation did such occur."

Upon reading the missive, the Sohaer furrowed his brow, "They can have the city, the land, and the interesting mingling of druids and the followers of God, just keep Haelun'or's name out of it. That city is Haelun'or no longer - it is Aelwen, and trying to say they rule over us is objectively false." at that he crumpled up his copy of the missive before tossing it in a nearby fireplace.

The time it takes to gather the same amount of resources being greater I can understand, but even for me it still takes a LONG time to break a diamond pick.
