Uh, yeah irrelevant since a lot of shelvings have to do with the LT demanding rewrites, not trails.

The LT demand rewrites to creatures whose lore is abused or lack a meaningful impact on the server as I stated. E.g. Homunculi and Sprites respectively, to name just two.

The state of the lore is 100% the fault of the LT, full stop. Not only the number of lore pieces but how pedantic and long-winded they are, what with the demands for so many minute details and itemized limitations and abilities.

That’s done to prevent people from abusing the lore. It’s necessary.
I too would be “pedantic and long-winded” if I had to read through piles of poorly-written lore which is most often than not written in a vague way to allow the writer to abuse that piece of lore later.

Also, “state of the lore”? The LT? Have you forgotten about Aesopian’s tree god eventline and how the LT had to retcon his power-tripping mess of a bomb that he did? I haven’t.

The players of creatures shouldn’t be screwed over by the LT so that they can clean up their own mess. What they should do for inactive creatures is provide an event to wrap them up, or at the very bottom of the barrel, tell the players the in-lore canon reason why their creature will not exist in the future. Even if it’s just an excuse, but something so that players can actually develop a character along the event and move on. It would at least put a dynamic-rp mask on what is otherwise a completely bogus act of the skygods. 

I agree.

And supposedly, the shelved creatures aren’t even removed. If someone can provide a rewrite that meets the LT’s mysterious standards, then theoretically they could all return so you aren’t even getting what you’re rooting for anyway. 

I’m not rooting for anything. If they provide the LT with a rewrite that removes chances of abusing a creature and gives them a role to fill, rather than existing for the sake of it, good for them.

Also, I’ve played maybe over ten characters. Of those, one was a creature and none of the others knew any magic, held any land, held an honorific title, and were all common folk, so miss me with the snowflake bullshit.

I don’t care what you play or have played. I referred to those players who played the creatures I listed for no reason other than being a snowflake, whose names I don’t know.

Irrelevant?

There’s only a handful of people who roleplay these creatures. They’re not active, they don’t provide any meaningful roleplay and they’re only there to fill a very specific niche roleplay. Why should there be pages and pages of lore for you to feel like a special snowflake? It’s absurd.

No one’s character should be forced to change without the very least an IRP reason or even an event. Lore team created the problem so that should be the very least they could do. 

no, they should be purged too

if anyone’s responding to this status unironically idk what to think lol
