  1. The Elder of the Lur Clan reads the news with surprise and shock. The article calls for the arrest of the Clan Honorary, and as he reads through the charges, a realization slowly dawns on him. He decides to seek out Madoc'Lur, who has closer contact with the honorary made fugitive by order of the Rex.
  2. The tale of Gob Ztabba-Zniffa has reached its conclusion. He met his demise in the manner and customs of his forefathers before him. He returned to the sacred desert and suffered defeat among his kin while the Elder held hope that he was sent to the Stargush’Stroh to face the judgement of the Old Father. Honor was restored to all parties involved. Afterward, Falum’Lur seeks out the Krimpgoth Drus to impart a gift upon him.
  3. Elder Falum'Lur was not present, but he had heard about the ongoing duel. He seemed to find it amusing that the Petra Orc had returned to the Sacred Desert after the Elder and Krimpgoth had wanted to fight over his place in the Horde. Falum let out a great bellow of laughter and happily said: "Gob may nub have had hiz gruk in the right place, but hiz heart led him back where he belonged. I do nub gruk of hiz repentenze to Krug, but may da Old Popo recognize his triumph to be dispatched in klomp like the ancestors before him. May Krug hab merzy on Gob's Spirit."
  4. @siglms_ Mi challenge the honor of Krimpgoth agh hiz decizion, uzing the negleckful example of the foreign Onizhiman Uruks, and pardoning the Petra whitewazh whoze faith iz in the burs gods of Krug's enemies, agh who iz nub committed to the zacred zpirit of Krug, the Old Popo and Spirit Popo. A collectiun of beliefz is more like a confuzed zpirit than one who grukz its purpose. Any Orc that does not conform to the path ub Krug and their ancestors is lozt and haz fallen to the darknezz. I intend to challunj Druz the Krimpgoth to an honor klomp until he exhibits regret for his actions and seeks absolution in Krug and the Ancestor Spirits. Forgiving a deluzional brudda is nub an act of compazzion but rather an affirmation of their diztorted world-peep and collekted religiouz beliefz. A zon of Krug ought to remain wit hiz kin and blood family who can better protect and guide him in life. If there is no honor among blood-bound relativez, then the blessingz of Krug have been lost from the Uzg. Unfortuunatly, an Elder haz to be the only ash to uphold the remaining honor among blood bruddas. Name the tik agh plaze. [This is a challenge to the spirit of the Krimpgoth decision to pardon Gob Ztabba-Zniffa (@MrMojoMordor) of Whitewash status despite his lack of faith in Krug and absence from the Fatherland of the Desert. If the Krimpgoth reverses his decision, the challenge will be resolved. It is not an attempt to claim the role of Krimpgoth.]
  5. Elder Falum'Lur receives news from a Lur goblin who reads the judgment of the Krimpgoth before him in shock. He gazes into the dividing flicker of the flames, and wonders what Krug would have done.

      if you know of biased ST/mods who are making unfair decisions for their friendship group and have proof then report it publicly on the forums through the feedback section

      Well given that the ST have denied a whole plethora of almost everything for a good while, we'll see what gets accepted in the upcoming and we'll know who they're going for. *shrug*

  9. Falum'Lur watches the battlefield from a war camp on top of a hill after his features from the last siege. He eats and drinks by a campfire while observing, then speaks with his mouth full. "A hosh victory that will be blahed for da ages. The great spirits of valor and wagh possessed many of da bruddas and the allies on dis day."
  10. After reuniting with their ancient kin, Elder Falum'Lur returned to the goi with plans to prepare a War Dance for the Rex. As he writes more plans for the war dance, he reminisces about dancing with many Orcs who have long passed away and gone to Stargush’Stroh. A high honor to be granted deliverance to Krug.
  11. There should be a community meeting to discuss paths to return server box to a PvE capability. It would cure so many people's boredom. We talk about these things openly in OOC or forum posts yet it's never touched on by staff. Why would we as a community want our favorite server to functioning as if it wereΒ bottom of the barrel?

      its sad the state of the server doesn't even allow for natural mob spawning and moving in peak hours, let alone pve

      Anthos used to have mob spawning, i remember farming them and buying a farm plot for 1500 right by the side of orcish city. Come to think about it, I probably had the biggest house/plot.

      Β 

      Then you had Nexus and you could nolife and grind it, I barely rp'd at a point because grinding was more enjoyable. I'd binge grind lumberjack without watching anything just listening to music for 8 hours somedays. Each log gave 8 exp, I remember ending a day with 150.000 more exp (thats 18750 logs)

      Β 

      I remember discovering the cloth glitch so i'd sit with breeder and leatherworking on the Lur fortress and just afk there, shearing sheep and crafting multiple stacks of cloth, i hit top 1 leatherworker in a week too

      Β 

      Sold a stack of caskets for 50$, used it to buy Diablo 3 for me and my friend, we had a lot of fun from that, I also asked all the way through to gold VIP and traded a lot of nexus items for diamond VIP

      Β 

      Used to play a lot of LotC, I dont think grinding ever hindered roleplaying at all... because I wouldn't rp regardless :D

      Β 

      Grinding and raidingΒ was fun, LotC probably feels like a much moreΒ roleplay-oriented server nowadays instead of a mix between factions pvp and roleplay, but it'd never hurt to have purely RP oriented plugins that can have a certain level of grind to them. I don't mean levels, no, but getting there by trial and error. I think that Anthos brewery plugin was a perfect example of this, I had this big ass cellar where I would experiment a lot with different drinks. Or a plugin that involves around crafting stuff more creatively, making cheese.

      Β 

      The custom plugin that allows you to pick herbs from the wild and make potions isΒ great too. Something like that but for mining that gives you armor that has benefits/disadvantages on combat roleplay could also be cool. There are a lot of possibilities, but everything takes work

      best way to fix server issues is playing scp with tech admin

  12. It would undoubtedly be Horen. In most accounts, he had poor leadership qualities and took most tribute for himself and his court while peasantry were often culled. He was only benevolent through divine right of the four brothers, but even with that was easily swayed by Iblees coercion. Even the ancient human language Flexio (Latin) has interesting qualities to it being known as the language of the Undead, but also the language of the Aengudaemons.
  13. Eokamaster had a reasonable post trying to break bread, why remove it?

  14. My Experience This Map: I participated in the Temp Map and the start of Failor SMP that was specified to every-one that there were no rules. During that time I took part in Brotherhood of Flame that was heavily of a martial culture. We joined at the very launch and our group initiated PVP the moment we entered the Desert that I got popped in the first few deaths. People called us goons and for bannings because they got "no-rp killed" even though the admins specified it was a no rule smp, but due to that backlash rules were placed on the SMP. Afterward upon the launch of Aevos, I rejoined the Dwarves as the Irehearts asked me to take up the Clan Father role temporarily. There was a lot more cooperation between Urguan with a New King and a New Map. During this time I became familiar with the Canon's Regulars and found their niche to be very interesting so I joined them as well on an alternative character. Eventually, that character was lost due to them being banished from Adria. Most of the attention and heat of ambitious role-play only became kinetic during the Norland Coronation. Dwarves were invited to Norland to participate in their Coronation of their New King, and even had an elf assassination attempt which some Irehearts attempted to arrest the Elf. One of the Irehearts chose to make contact with the Vale and remind them of our grudge, but due to one small action caused Norland to react in an extreme fashion. They captured the Ireheart and took his hand meanwhile my character was nearly killed for attempting to negotiate as the Clan Father. These circumstances I have been in have been very odd to me considering I had been acquainted so well with Norland over the temp map. Eventually, some of the Dwarves that seceded last map chose to migrate to Norland and even cause a stir in the Dwarf community. It was said due to the actions with Norland made 'many others' in the Dwarf Community want to leave. Then, the banished Canon Regular players eventually created Frost beards and brought activity back to the once inactive clan, but have gotten just as much discrimination as the Irehearts used to get for having a specific niche of role-play. Even with all of the controversy and debate, the Frostbeards and myself put aside differences and ended up playing CSGO with Sneakybandit the King of Norland and even won the game. Only then to be found a day later that Urguan was getting raided by Norland, and even though Dwarves won they still chose to refer to Frostbeards as 'Bad Faith RPers' which is totally disrespectful and disingenuous when they were previously allied with Canon Regular and only recently after had conflict RP with Dwarves thus far. My Thoughts On Direction: This is a little more difficult to discuss with such broad of a question. There are so many factors about the server itself that have been left off the table to be discussed and left to obscurity, but I won't touch on old things but more recently I have found that the discrimination over specific niches of role-play seems to be all the attention. There are many players I found that are to comfortable in 'safe zones' and don't ever have to face the reality that some of the other communities must. Due to the duration this stigma has existed has specific types of players upset if they are put in any type of uncomfortable position they are not in control of. They often villainize others who don't do tavern sol to put a target on their back and make their role-play more miserable with staff constantly watching them. A large function of this is due to a culture that has been created within LoTC of what I was label as Chat-Players. Any function, action, or emote that isn't filtered through the chat is seen as a breach of role-play on many occasions. The chat-play feature has even forced many of the Warrior niche roles to to waste time in a CRP Default for hours every single day they log on to practice their passion than something that could be ended quickly and decisively. Dialogue and Emotes will always be needed for a Role-Play but what used to be a RPG server that reached for something greater degenerated into standing on a single block role-playing for hours. (Experts say adults should limit screen time outside of work to less than two hours per day) There is always much more to say with such a vague question, but I just want to offer a little perspective and perhaps a riddle on what Role-Playing means: A group of players rally and engage in a Combat RP raid in a city A group of players rally and engage in a PVP raid in a city Who is the real Role-Player? Answer:
  15. it was used in role-play and put very lightly. if you oocly can't handle what is done in RP cry more or play another server.
  16. sits upon the dwarven crafted and chiseled seat of the Ireheart Bone Throne as a beardling approaches the Clan Father with a missive of Nevaehlen in his strong dwarven hands. He hands it to Duren and briefly reads it aloud to the Irehearts at the table before him while they eat breakfast with their dire wolves. "So they woul' dispatch warriors to defend an Umri Kingdom rather than their own land then weep how vulnerable they are. Seems we must remind them that our grudge with Nevaehlen remains without deliberation since Almaris. Our kinsmen Bakir Ireheart lost his hand for attempting to remind the Vale we would nae forget the grudge only to be given a false charge of 'assault' by Norland over a touch upon the elgus iron despite the Book of Grudges warranting worse. There is a price to pay for spilling dwed blood, and your attempts at naivety shall be noted within the book."
  17. watched from a distance as rallies of the Dwarven Legion surrounded captured King Balon Ruric and dragged him into the square. Petty remarks were thrown between Balon and Bakir but Duren distastefully ignored it and rather began a sermon about Dungrimm's Justice and the Elgus Corruption of Man's Heart. Though Bakir was unable to attend the final punishment, Duren stood next to Gror watching the final moments upon the delivery of Balon's punishment and proudly returns to the Clan Hall to deliver the news.
