no more... please... no more berry bushes...

[!] You find a small, worn page. The handwriting on it seems rather poor… It is a weird feeling, writing on a table… Yet I find that my handwriting is still quite illegible… It does not truly matter, for words are meaningless, and they are for the one who writes, more than the one who reads. – One seeks his will done… The other seeks to interrupt it. The third watches, and another listens. To what end? Days come and pass, and cold begins its onslaught, only to be brought to defeat by the sun. The forest-fire becomes ash in the rain. Yet… From the carcasses of the trees the sprouts then grow? It is an exhilarating feeling, being a pawn in a game, truly. To have a guiding hand is a right, but to be commanded is the true pleasure we all partake. Do we not? The threat is unending, even in the peaceful spring wind we must see the flowers come to a burn… Why? It all feels as if it occurs in harmony… But who…? Who would command forces that do not yield to them… Nature..? Fate..? Time..? For if only in the calming of the swords and the silencing of shouts we could hear the truth be spoken to us so truly. Do we wish to hear it? To sit in a cell, it is not the lack of freedom that numbs the mind… It is the promise of it, a carrot dangling so close to your mouth. How close are we? Tell me then… Is it order that sows chaos… Or chaos that sows order? Or perhaps someone else? Everybody seems to have their answers… Lay their arms for them… I do not know. Perhaps soon. - Amako.

Amako eyed the weapon given to her only a few hours before, still in disbelief that she had managed to land not one, but two hits against the officers. She now tended to the injured.

I am taking suggestions. . . . . . . .

Cool idea! I'll see how I can get that implemented, no promises. CT -62 160 14 /aviary Noted! One war at a time. I personally agree, but this requires further discussion. Yes, it would be cool, I'll work on it.

@Halt Hey LotC, This is a follow-up to a previous community feedback post regarding the addition of new chat colors. I have updated the required legacy plugin(s) to support new colors and additional formatting options. These updates can be implemented immediately. However, before proceeding, I would like to gather further feedback to ensure the changes are applied correctly. New Chat Colors With a practically infinite amount of color options, to keep the theme of and general aesthetic of LotC, I’ve provided a few examples of pastel colors seen below: What are the community's thoughts on these color schemes? Given our talented pool of skinners and pixel artists, we would appreciate suggestions and insights on chat formatting from those with more experience. At present, we're thinking of limiting these perks to VIPs as an EULA-compliant reward for their support in maintaining the server. Another feature under consideration is allowing higher tiers of VIPs and above to choose custom chat colors using hex codes (e.g., #ffb3ba). Naturally, this would be subject to reasonable limitations to avoid unreadable or unsuitable colors. Implemented Changes Improved chunk loading times (with @Llir). Increased entity render distance for shop items, horses, animals, item frames, etcetera (more changes coming). Stabilized server TPS (ticks per second) at peak times. Reminder: These features might not make it to production and are in the idea stage only. Proposed Changes: Here are some potential changes the team is looking to introduce to the server to enhance the player experience, pending administrative approval. We would like to solicit further feedback from the community regarding these specific changes and any other changes you might like to see on LotC. Feel free to comment any further suggestions that were not mentioned here. Re-adding the ability to request players to halt by clicking on them from afar. (Displays a hint above the item-bar). Potentially adding more skin slots and removing cooldowns Making cosmetics such as OptiFine capes and various ones, e.g., Lunar visible again. Removal of CT resource island cooldown and fixing unharvestable nodes. The addition of training swords for every type of Surge weapon, for example, a Daemonsteel variant. The return of colored leather armor for players as well as horses. The removal of the cooldown between mounting and dismounting a horse. Optimizing the war server to achieve mostly stable TPS with parity to the main server, if not better performance akin to how it was when it was first implemented (cc: @Halt).

thanks ET for an awesome event line!!!! ******* baller stuff yo

This is now the gold standard for formatting.

Who Will Save You From the Depths? The chains of the abyss rattled, and the moment was at hand. A thought lit in her head, almost four-hundred centuries of battle, and now, had a lapse of judgment wreaked havoc in her mind… For she stood against a demi-god, the daughter of the Aengul of Order, “Sol Invicta”, at the behest of the Arch-Drakaar, Azdromoth. The rising of a sword… And it’s downward motion, unredeemed. A horrifying display of a skill of the muscle, one most pure, instinct, had sent her upward, and to the gravel. Thelia’s eyes moved to watch Sol Invicta, as she came to watch her, sprawled upon that dreadful gravel soil. “Who…? Who would save me from the Depths?” she asked, with a dying breath. “Let me return to the forest.” said the mali’aheral, as visions of her childhood underneath the trees’ shade of the Dominion flashed through her eyes. “You shall not go anywhere, except for the depths of this Abyss. Peace shall enlighten your soul.” The demi-god replied. Thelia's head, subsequently, was taken as a trophy. And thus, she was no more. Thelia did not leave any letters. “For death is terrifying, yet we are drawn to it like a moth to a flame, for it is life.” Art by “Frostbite Studios”. OOC:

Or just remove all of them from the server.

Thelia eyes one of these peculiar leaflets, her lips formed an amused smile. "The church thinks them fools... Perhaps they are right." she spake to the wind, alone on the road...

looks awesome holyyyyyy

A certain ancient mali'aheral sits at the halls of tor'praeth, she takes a rather generous puff from her pipeweed. Coughing, she says "I am an Azdrazi woman."

we should use these for the ranks on the store page, honestly.

Congrats and good luck on your tenture!

You can now download the mod from CurseForge, I've also added the link to the main thread. Modrinth is coming soon! It will be available here. I am currently working on a 1.20.1 version and 1.19.2 version afterwards. There's also a few (very) cool features in the works so keep tuned. Edit: Modrint now available. https://modrinth.com/mod/lotc-magic-box
