NotEvilAtAll

Nobody’s left on the server who could possibly create a new Nexus system or update the old Nexus for modern LOTC. The only way we’ll get a profession system is if we steal a plug-in from Planetminecraft or something, which would be incredibly hard to balance/tweak properly to meet the server’s interests without a proper dev team.

We should stop voting for the server until the pedos are banned. New players shouldn’t be coming into this server via Minecraft server lists until this problem is properly dealt with.

i want to rp as ben shapiro and own the libtards epic style. Sadly I’d get banned for lore breaking in like 2 seconds.

I’ve heard that the Forest Dwarves are pretty cool. They also live in Urguan.

Akchualleh, Lord of the Rings doesn’t have Goblins. The Goblins in The Hobbit are just Moria Orcs before Tolkien decided to make them called “Orcs” instead of “Goblins”. ok I’m done being a stupid idiot y’all can continue with ur activities.

Accept wonk lore or else.

In Vanilla if storage isn’t a problem then charcoal is basically the same as coal, yes. However, usually people don’t want to fill multiple chests with charcoal, and in LOTC charcoal cannot be used to replace coal in the Black Cactus recipe. Thus, charcoal is worth slightly less. At the very least, it’s still easier to make charcoal and thus @AlaSol would probably want to stock the furnaces with charcoal regardless of the value difference between coal and charcoal.

Charcoal cannot be crafted into blocks and thus have less value.

You might have some issues keeping the furnaces stocked with coal. I’d recommend using charcoal instead since people would be less inclined to steal it and it's easier to mass-produce.

I fully support this. Anything that helps new players get food is great.

Ever since I started attending college classes at my local community college, LOTC stopped being fun for me. It had already been a bit of a chore to log online every day to contribute to Brandybrook’s activity, but ever since the Activity level of Brandybrook stopped being recorded, I lost any reason to log onto the server outside of the few events I plan. As a result of this, I became more OOC focused and cared less about actual roleplaying, turning me into a ****poster and a complete idiot. I’ve become detrimental to the halfling community with my failed events, poor attitude, and lack of enthusiasm. I’m sorry that people had to put up with me during this time. I shall leave the server and not return until I actually gain enjoyment from it and don’t antagonize everyone meaninglessly. Please ban me for toxicity. I have behaved horribly to several members of LOTC’s community and need to be punished as a result. Since I am a repeat offender, the ban should be for at least 1 month. @frill I am sorry for my behavior towards you. It was completely uncalled for; I have no excuse for it. I simply ask you to put all of your OOC dislike of the halfling community on me instead of the other halflings. It’s me you hate, not them. I am the ****poster, the whiner, the idiot, not the others. All of the things you don’t like about our community are a result of my actions. @Porkgasm I don’t think this server is right for you. You are a decent person, and I understand why people befriend you, yet you suffer too much from anxiety in order to gain the full LOTC experience. You should find a hobby that is less stressful and more welcoming, or find a place on LOTC where fewer dramatic things are possible. @_SuitAndTie_ You were an old LOTC friend of mine, and I really enjoyed all of the roleplay between our characters. I wish you the best of luck in life @Tha_Mystery_Man Your memes are better than mine. @Hobbs_Burrows I’ll keep exploring your maps of Asulon and Aegis. They’re pretty darned good. Have a good day everyone!

Sorry bro, I forgot to account for the completely static and undynamic nature of LOTC that prevents Serfs from ever making more than 3 minas a year no matter how hard they work or how lucky they get. It is completely sensical for a character to be forced to sign up with a guard force, train with a weapon for years, or otherwise double their physical capabilities before they are able to don gear that takes no skill to operate and would’ve been feasible for them to use before their training. In the event that a Nation’s government provides the poor with armor in exchange for fighting in warclaims (something that has NEVER HAPPENED on LOTC, obviously), the Serfs would still be unable to use the gear so generously given to them. They’d be smitten by GOD himself for daring to do so much as put on an iron helmet. This is completely sensical and roleplay-friendly. And of course, it is well known that all non-Knightly persons falling under the Serf classification are completely impoverished. Merchants, Craftsmen, and Shop-owners all live in stick huts. If you were to log online to LOTC right now and travel to the nearest city, you’d find all the housing for non-warrior peoples to be crude huts glued together with earwax instead of any more reasonable housing for persons with decent non-military income. It is obvious that none of these city-slicker commoners could ever afford a 50 minas set of armor, no matter how much they save.

If a Serf-tier character can lift up to 180lbs in combat without straining themselves, there’s no reason they’d be unable to use 55lb plate armor. This new lore would ban commoner characters from using armor they would realistically be able to wear. I don’t care if most players are 6 feet tall Knights instead of commoners, the commoners should still be able to use plate armor. “It’s just a guideline hurr durr” isn’t an excuse for inaccuracy. If this truly is a guideline, why is it posted under Lore Submissions instead of Roleplay Guides?

Serfs can’t wear plate armor? That’s objectively false. If the armor fits you properly, anybody can wear plate. It weighs more than Chain-mail, but the weight is spread across the whole body. People can run, jump, climb, and roll in full plate just fine. It’s designed to provide as much mobility and protection as possible. I’m fairly certain that most Serfs would have used farming equipment that weighs more than 15 kg. Said farming equipment’s weight is not evenly spread across the body. Plate armor should not be a problem for them.

I think we should take a page out of Tolkien’s work and modify the map every year instead of getting a completely new map. Have new areas rise out of the sea and old areas become flooded, make rivers erode the earth around it into canyons, change up the climate of certain areas every so often, etc. Of course, this would require there to be a map people actually enjoy enough to want to play on for years and years with only some terrain modifications here and there, which would require a lot of effort from the world team.

Pervinca Driftwood wonders how Fenn managed to forge diamonds into ingots.

Arcas is a really boring map tbh. At least with Atlas there was freebuild to fill the gaps that the world team neglected. As of present, there’s no reason to explore. There’s simply nothing to be found. For the next map, make things smaller and flesh it the f*** out. It’s clear that the World Team can’t build a large map without filling everything with boring plains dotted by the occasional copy/pasted tree, so clearly we ought to go with a smaller yet more detailed map in the future. The wilderness of Asulon, a map that’s 7 years old, is more interesting to explore than Arcas, even if the build quality of everything was far inferior. Arcas has no creativity in its biomes or features bar the spooky forest and the mushroom island. Some suggestions: -Make mountains taller. Go all the way to maximum build height and make the slopes steeper so it isn’t ridiculously easy to climb. If the mountain isn’t a serious obstacle for travelers, it might as well not be there. The Dwarven mountains in Axios are a pretty good example of the types of mountains that LOTC needs. -Don’t fill the map with boring plains. Some empty areas are alright, but if half the map is basically featureless, you’ve failed. Even some basic rolling hills are 100x more interesting than a useless plain. -Put all the biomes reasonably close to the Cloud Temple. If the only desert is on an island nobody visits, the map might as well not have any desert at all. -Don’t be afraid to make terrain more epic and fantastic. This is a fantasy RP server. -Find more interesting details to put in places. Random ruins that will never be used are not interesting. Cannibal camps, native tribal villages, magical oddities, etc. are much more interesting. -For the love of God, PLEASE create world lore BEFORE the map is released. Arcas still doesn’t have any world lore and we’ve been playing on it for half a year. Furthermore, if the terrain of the map could be connected to the lore behind it, that would be fantastic.
