it really is a shame because I am a filthy werewolf + vampire trope enjoyer, it feels like there's not many dark magic groups atm (naz and necro I think are doing good, mystics? not sure, and bms I hardly count) and it always felt like the vamps and wws were among the ones that were good at fostering a tight-knit community and culture that could be interacted with more depth. the naz had a political meeting with zarsies' silit group some time ago and i really enjoyed the RP even if they were shelved some short time later

Werewolf and vampire groups were secluded before and you never saw interactions outside of these tight-knit communities with regular players. The number of times I ran into either of those groups was quite literally 0 in a 3+ year span. 

I will say there are quite a few dark magic groups currently existing. Clearly the necromancer group with the recent addition of ghouls has seen a large uptick in members and naz (as you're aware) are quite active recently as well after the passing of the rewrite. Mysticism is also active to an extent. The real groups that are lacking are the presence of "good" or "holy" magic(s) in general. Sakuragakure has the largest active group of holy mages and even then, they are usually outnumbered 10 to 1 when just fighting the necromancer groups alone. The rest of the holy mage groups just do tailored dungeon battles put on by ET and dont do anything else relevant or have left the server because their paladin rewrite got denied.

When you rewrite them

all these replies but the answer remains . . . when people make a proposal that isn't weird . . .

pass the cooties test first

Only if they marry my halfling king and use their marriage to negotiate peace between the Azdrazi and non-spooks.

Shorter tools and headless horse for pvp!!!

make minas a physical item next

This plus a keyring item to store them (similar to alchemy bags) would be golden. 

i think it is the fun in theory pain in practice type thing, but i do think it would be awesome sauce.

yes

boring

@Hanrahan I see no magic robots on lotc. If you mean the Animii, those are powered by something along the lines of engines and golemancy I think. I've seen someone actually RP being a literal robot, going "beep boop" and all that ****, yeah. Turns out, that player shouldn't have been doing that. I'm just saying that I'd prefer there aren't guns, and that tech-lock is just fine as it is /shrug

yh but what I've learned is that if you want swords and horses you can still have that with magitech rp. especially on this server where stuff like a magic steamboat doesn't really give you that much of an advantage over good ol' nuclear trebuchets 

**** guns though those need to stay out

magic robots

atronachs are the closest thing to magical robots and they've been around for a pretty long time with no issues, and animii are alchemical clockwork constructs, just to clarify.

i heard haense brought 200 guys and had 300 more players ready to go, they just couldnt get in cos of the server cap

can someone please watch kung fu panda 3 with me?

@Dyl U need a chaperone? 

That's a really cold take my guy, uncool.

tf is this shi

Yes, but what about (completely unrelated but also controversial topic)?

So? If they'd be sold by someone running into a city or through a shop in a city, it would have the same result, with no additional RP either. Quit crying about it... 

Besides that: No of these Books mentioned actually contain valuable information... "How to treat Vampire wound" lmao, that's really not a big deal.

Lae we talked about this in game I cba to talk about it again when u just keep saying "so? so?" to everything I say

selling items in game, in person, brings the potential for RP even if none happens. RP should happen. the auction house brings zero potential for RP or interaction. its literally impossible. even shops are better because you could sit at shops and actually know who you're buying from. people use shops to make in-game commissions. there is a difference, one is objectively more RP friendly than the other

Selling Items via the Auctionhouse brings the potential to RP. With the Book about vampires a character that isn't a vampire could learn how to deal with them (at least with the "common" type of vampires) which brings a lot more RP, then just the meagre "wanna buy"-RP... so no, the AH brings a lot of RP indirectly ;)

Slice of Life RP (SOL) is inferior to Shadow of Israphel (SOI) RP.

@UnwillinglySend me a ping on Discord, this is the Cingedoz lore: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/208064-culture-cingedozthe-cinged/

celtic deez nuts

Some forest dwarf clans have celtic influences

The scorching, gritty winds of a desert sandstorm. It reminds Kor'garr of the long travel of pilgrimage after he gave up the Rexdom, and his eventual near death experiences that caused him to meet the great spirit Kor. Memories of that meeting are the main drive for his goals in both life and after death. 

Valindra enjoys the cold. It reminds her of who she once was and how far she has come. After abandoning Wyrvun as her patron deity due to his inactivity, she spent a lot time stood out in the snow, cursing and taunting, desecrating shrines and assaulting his followers while knowing he'd do nothing in response. As a rebelling former snelf, she still does this, seeing the act as one of defiance and mockery.

A clear night sky. Haus practically grew up reading under the moonlight, and gazing up at the stars when there wasn't enough to continue reading. It's been a constant in the chaos of life - always there, always the same, giving him a time where he could just relax. The Mori invasion was quite a disruptive event to him as the Night Sky vanishing, as it took that time from him.

Otherwise, the rain. It's a soothing sound and feeling, as long as your out of the mud and your belongings have a waterproof cover. He's been under a bit since he started wandering place to place, so he learned to enjoy it.

Malii'evarir: If you pick a child up out of a bush, it is yours. Finders keepers. Family is a loose term, and having grown up in a nomadic tribe people entered and left the 'family' all the time

Einar: Blood and vows make a family. He's a simple man, not a lot going on upstairs

Avyn is a member of one of the original Seeds from when 'Ame Seeds were first implemented - Calithil (now Acaele'thil). Unlike the other seeds that gained new members through trials etc, Calithil was very strictly bloodline with the extremely rare honourary title gifted (maybe 2 in existence). As a result, she only considers her family to be those who are blood, or those related via marriage who make an active effort to be in her life. This helps cut out the ridiculous amount of "family" gained through marriages into other seeds etc.

Noruiwyn has forged her own family with a daughter she adopted over two centuries ago. As a mortal, prior to her original ascension, her family was of marriage and legitimate children. After ascending and having her soul warped, she abandoned this family and instead developed a 'found family' through the form of very close connections. It is interesting to see her perspective on family adjust the more she reflects on her path and comes to new realisations!

wow awesome Unwillingly how do u use that?

@Cobblerthat's why it's a shitpost 

apparently LT, WT and ET are merging into one team now as well for some reason, which I think is the worst decision made by admins in the history of this server

but its just a rumour so idk

god that sounds terrible

not only with tons of ET have to drop out, but being an LT would have to become a full time unpaid job.

@arockstar28 Server failed that quickly? 

Jeez! 

@GhazRIALOfGhazralia No mate, I just let someone else take it over! Wanted to pursue other interests. 

@NotEvilAtAll his server died 1hour after launch 

it was expected though, guys a clown! protocol btw

What’s a SOL?

Huntsmen ?

no one, loser. Lotc is a SOL server only. ?

storyarcs with other players make me stop and think “what would my character do” much more often than eventlines do, because most (large) eventlines aren’t as heavily impaced by the choices individual people make. 

By far persona driven stories are better. Much more relatable and organic. ET stories are like kitty RPGs with light mallibility touched in. Often a big monster. And even when they're not, it's still constructed with not as much passion as a person behind his own character, I think.

Dont get me wrong, I like a good event every once in a while. I'm just personally much more into non et story arcs

I’ve been here for many years and I think I’ve organically ran into an event one or two times. The events that I have been apart of, beyond those that I joined organically, were massive “mainline story” events, which are not all that engaging. Honestly, I have always enjoyed character-driven, organic, emergent roleplay over a dungeonmaster-style setup. I think that may be in part because I have never really been to many events, but still.

@Unwillingly : O m’lady?! why thank you.

@Unwillingly right now:

You cannot legally talk to someone with two reddit followers.

*'s ears droop pleadingly "please give it to me dad"

I think ur just powergaming. 

studies show that elf ears can be manually "floop-ed."

I think it sounds like a great idea. However I never played on. I miss a bestial CA. Kha eg. are usually degraded to cute kitties (isn't there lore at all, but hey)

Ferals....satyrs....the weird elves who turned into plants. That playerbase will find a way to turn them very uh....not bestial 

we did have satyrs. they failed horribly, sadly, but these are cool concepts. i generally just want to see more world-building through monsters and whatnot to make the world and map feel more "alive". 

I remember yesterday when I walked into Karosgrad with some random other halfling to try and peddle some cloth RP items I made and the entire city square was empty because everyone was off in the palace. Unless you were in the Haense discord you'd never know they were there and would probably assume Karosgrad is just a dead city.

Even active cities can feel dead if said cities are too large to scope out where people are with nametags.

This is why you make stuff small, folks.

This is a fairly based take but there's no feel of that "danger" of getting raided anymore, which leads us to not roleplay a guard force properly. It's not the days of the fringe and the first map, there's nobody that will guard the gate waiting for people. They're gonna obviously move where the action is and sometimes in a large town, it's in the back where a new player will sometimes, not explore.

Also, the towns have clearly expanded to contain all the people that come and go on LotC, which takes most of the action happening every day in the towns themselves. 

We could also expand on the fact that text roleplay takes a fairly obvious time to ask a simple question, and while some of you might be ready to help, there's always these high ego characters that would not even say anything to a "Where's the people ?".

So we should, ban raid times, ban large towns, ban text roleplay and move to voice obviously.

I completely agree. Cities need to be smaller. The issue is partly that everyone wants a massive house. I prime example of how to do it is Nevaehlen. They have a tiny city, with incredible well planning which works perfectly fine. 150x150 is enough. You just gotta plan properly. Then we'll centralise the map. Letting people choose their location so freely was a major fault of last map, and I must admit it was partly mine. People should have been forced to build closer together.

looking for all posts of you I liked just to unlike them

i thank my friends and allies for aiding me in this great endeavor of mine
