  1. A little poll to see what the player demographics of LOTC is currently. It's been a while since I've seen one of these on the ol' forums so I figured I'd make one. Fill it out as ye see fit.
  2. almost every NL should be banned for metaplay. if any sort of diplomatic agreement is worked out on discord first before moving to RP you should get banned for that.

      Right? The logical conclusions should be followed & I agree with you.

      The most metaplay that happened between me and larry was larry coming to me IRPly on a char which voted for mine in the hnor election and saying "I want land I give soldiers." All terms were talked over IRPly, though the meeting was started via a DM saying "yo get on I want to roleplay with you." RIP Hnor, RIP all the metaplay states

  3. keeping your gates shut all the time is a stupid decision but players should have the right to make stupid decisions if they want to
  4. metaplay and high levels of OOC organization are supported by the server on an institutional level. banning the worst offenders can only go so far in making LOTC less OOC-oriented.

  6. we need to bring back lego city

      i think with proper city planning (tavern, square, gate/guardhouse and palace have to be in render distance) you could pull off a pretty monumental lego city without it feeling sparse and uninhabited. residential blocks can radiate out from the main square and benefit from being big and out of sight (the people want privacy for ... slice of life rp reasons), same with any vanity buildings or niche rp areas.

       

      could experiment with verticality too, instead of setting aside 1/4-1/2 of your limited space for le royal palace you could lift it up above the main city (sorta like haelun'or's different districts in athera, high elves literally looking down on you, shit was cash). also like the idea of a tavern built with amphitheatre seating around a main square that can be cleared for tournaments and games and other such fun events

      whole city that is an amphitheater ... that'd be an idea

  7. i'm pretty sure most LOTCers are non-magic even with how things are currently
  8. Hot Take: RP items without a signature can be cooler than ones with a signature! When there is no signature on the item, it draws more focus to the item itself rather than whoever made it.

      This can be true, but it makes it prone to being edited. I think that signatures are important, but when it comes to a matter of value ones with signatures can act as an authenticity stamp if it's claimed to be an aged relic and it actually has a signature from an old character or an old signature style that gives it cool points due to how old it's confirmed to be

      true if only there was a way to lock item descriptions from edits without having to put a sig on it. perhaps an update to the edit gui.... @Greehn

  10. [!] A Notice is pinned to the Cobblecroak Noticeboard! FORAGEABLES: Barley - Found growing in small patches near the lake! Shire Shrooms - Found growing underneath the large spruce trees in the village! Special Shrooms - Found growing in patches of moss across the shire! -Carver Applefoot, a local halfling.
  11. ((event delayed by one hour to 7 pm est sorry))
  12. [!] You receive an invitation in your mailbox! An Invitation! ~The Applefoot burrow in Cobblecroak~ You are invited to supper in the Applefoot burrow this evening! Make sure to leave room for supper! -Carver Applefoot, local halfling. ((Supper party will be at 6 PM est today, the 14th of December, 2024))

      imgur or catbox
      i like catbox because it hooks up to my screenshot software

  14. Would the typical wood-elf settlement (i. e lots of big trees in the city) still count as a wooded area even if it's urban? This will probably come up a lot so I think it should be clarified.
  15. OOC: Hello there! This is an event designed to simulate a single day of halfling life as best as possible. Everybody starts at the beginning of the hour, having just woken up. Their characters then go about their day as they would IRP, eventually falling back to sleep at the end of the hour, which ends the event. Working, eating, talking, and other things your character typically does in a day can and should be roleplayed. There will be a single roleplay prompt happening during the hour to promote interaction, but attending it isn’t mandatory. Feel free to do as you wish. The intention isn’t to attract a large quantity of halflings into one location at a time, but rather to create as much immersion as possible. SoL Event Checklist (Optional): -Wake up ( ) -Eat something ( ) -Do some task ( ) -Interact with someone ( ) -Eat another thing ( ) -Go to sleep ( ) RP: [!] A note is pinned to the Cobblecroak Town Hole! Our New Fields! ~The new fields just down the path~ Now that we've settled down again, it's time for us to restore our food supply so as to provide for feasts for generations to come! I've been slowly working on a larger field for us, and now that the season has arrived, it is time to harvest it!! Meet me at the town hole next Pumpkin Day and we'll begin work! -Carver Applefoot ((4 PM EST, Tomorrow on Saturday the 6th of December, 12/6/2024, located within Cobblecroak, home of the halflings, north of Urguan))
  16. Dismantling communities only centralizes the server if a similar RP niche exists for its players to move into. This recent war saw the end of cosmopolitan multi-racial realms (i.e Sutica knock-offs) and the end of the halfling realm. Neither of these communities can easily assimilate into other communities. Halflings have just recently gotten a village back and are regaining some activity (mostly from halfling players getting active again after prolonged inactivity due to not having a place to RP). A new multi-racial Sutica-style location has not been established yet for old Vortice and Lurin players to move into (as far as I know). As a result, the destruction of realms from this war hasn't provided a ton of new players for other realms, and we mostly see players growing inactive from the loss of their RP-niche. Regardless of how much people may wish for it to be the case, LOTC can't grow by forcing completely different styles of RP and completely different types of players to all live in the same place. There will always be an upper limit to the utility of centralization due to this.
  17. [!] A note is put up on the town-hole of the new halfling village PETITION FOR A SHERIFF Although we have been resettling and rebuilding fine enough without centralized leadership, I have begun to notice big-folks entering and exploring our new shire! We need a Sheriff to handle disruptive big-folks and enforce village culture to ensure the negative influences of the big-peoples never again corrupt our moral and righteous kind! Thus, I propose we appoint someone to act as Sheriff who will keep the big out and the wee in, enforce the good values of home, family, and hearth, and ensure a new age of prosperity for true PROPER halflings. If nobody else volunteers to be Sheriff, then I can act as the village Sheriff. Regardless of who is Sheriff, we need this duty to be fulfilled! -Carver Applefoot
  18. These activity checks will get removed again in two years and re-reinstated again two more years after that. The cycle continues. people lounging around idly is how dynamic RP (not stuff organized beforehand) happens if people are discouraged from hanging around a location when things aren't happening then people will just rely more on planning all events on discord. Also if activity is going to be the main realm-size limiter again what purpose does tile upkeep serve?
  19. I've always wanted there to be a way to send large quantities of aviary letters all at once. Ideally you should be able to use aviary letters as a replacement for discord notifications or forum posts for communication. There should be a way to send letters to everyone in a realm or region or family or whatever grouping you wish all at once, like a sort of "Aviary Group" or something. Just like how you can send OOC messages to all of your friends with /friend broadcast, but with in-character letters to everyone in some other group you can sign up to join. People could find a way to spam it for whatever rewards it offers (i.e finding a way to mass-produce "key in-game roleplay activities" just for rewards) so I'm not in favor of this. Ideally people attend in-game roleplay events for the ROLEPLAY and not for rewards. Maybe for events that staff control (like big ST eventlines) there could be something, idk.
  20. rep at least should be removed. we don't need reddit karma on the forums really, it doesn't add anything.
  21. [!] A letter is pinned to the noticeboard of the halfling refugee camp within Hefrumm. "Our new tavern, the Ponderous Porcupine, is all ready for operation! As such, next Pumpkin Day I'll be hosting it's GRAND OPENING! There will be FREE booze, FREE pipeweed, and music for all tavern-goers! Knox bless us all! -Carver Applefoot" ((Event tomorrow, Sunday the 13th of October, 2024, at 4 PM EST))
  22. Carver Applefoot is already busy at work preparing new burrows for his kin! "Move et.... closer, closer, closer... alrigh', tha's good... Nay!!! Ah bi' further back now... alrigh', now se' et 'n... easeh does et.." "A-ah... weh forgo' t'ae level t'is firs'... O' Knox..."
