Unwillingly

its really unfortunate that you've had such an awful experience with the server and I hope you come to enjoy it if you decide to stick around. have you tried communicating with staff about these players? lotc is a server of micro communities, and some will be less pleasant than others. kind people can be found in the right spots at the right time, just like how unkind people can be found in the wrong spots at the wrong time, though I wish we wouldn't have to say the latter

it's really clunky and I constantly see new players asking how to get to x place and struggling to figure out how to SS. Last map it wasn't as big of an issue because last map you didn't NEED to know how to soulstone to get somewhere, but now you do which I don't imagine is great for player retention just having them be warp signs would be infinitely easier and simpler. it's also irritating having to constantly cycle through and rebind and unbind every time you want to go somewhere

this happens every time the logos get changed settle down edit: also u guys literally complained about the shield logos too when they first were changed

key word "cool magics" if you don't have a verbal chant to cast then ur magic simply isn't cool. srry idk I don't make the rules

it's such a non issue the only ppl who I've seen actually care are the ppl who larp as anti-degeneracy crusaders constantly. if u think u have a good concept don't let the prehistoric stigma of genderbending stop u

druidisms only hope to be cool is if I can strangle my enemies in tree roots or suffocate them with ants like in kingdom of the crystal skull

[!] You discover an aged booklet containing scribbles of poems and short-stories. Most are torn out, illegible and tattered, but the one that remains reads as follows in careful, clean writing. Between the marrows of human faith and reverence, some forgotten, blinkered cultures tell tales of omen and augur. Some farmhands erect scarecrows in order to ward these avians of their fragile crops, while others do it for a much lesser, paranoid reason. In some cultures, it is said that murders of crows are signs of a shift in one’s life depending on the count. The saying goes as: One for sorrow, Two for mirth, Three for a wedding, Four for death, denoting that whoever spots the murder is to experience one of these events soon. When I was a boy, I witnessed the violent, bloody death of a treacherous tax collector at the hands of the people on the streets of Dobrov. Before he died, while the people strung his body by the rope and gallows, I noticed a gathering of crows along the peaked rooftops. I asked them, “Why are you perched up there?” One of them looked at me, and said: “The trees whisper something cruel, but mankind is something crueler. When they splatter you with blood, cover your eyes and keep walking.” Kingdoms with a history of reverence for the crow are said to draw misery and death for its people. Valdev, formerly Karosgrad of Haense, can attest to the attraction of devil, demon, and their scourges: a prophecy made true by virtue of their sigil, the bad omen. However, consider the opposite, in which we bear witness to their multiple victories in the face of the Inferis legion: a prophecy made true by virtue of their sigil, the good omen. If a crow drops you a dead mouse, it means that you are being hunted by hellhounds. Should this happen, your first step should be to enter a building or small room, and pour raw salt along entrances. Miss not a grain, for these salt lines will prevent these phantom devils from reaching you until help arrives. Do not leave the room. Ensure there are no drafts that would brush away the salt. Re-enforce the saltlines until you run out. Even when all seems calm and days have passed, do not leave the room. Outside, they wait in hiding with glistening teeth and growing hunger. Your only hope is to expect the arrival of a priest. If that cannot happen, then pray. It’s a common misconception that crows are forebringers of these omens, that it is their presence that summons death and misfortune in their wake, hence why their flocks are oft called murders. They are far from such. Instead, they arrive to warn us of misdeeds and good fortune, for they soar with the gales of the ever-churning woods.

there are arguably sillier things that are locked behind a paywall like the fact that if u need to pay to not have ur chat spammed by potato donations

A pale man spies the parchment. He snatches one for himself, later showing it to his companions. A discussion soon follows.

the real solution here is not glorifying nation leaders as an OOC position (along with their government or council buddies) in part I also think giving NLs less OOC power will contribute to making the actual RP aspect more valuable and pave the roads towards respectable leaders who pursue it for RP and not the OOC, and once u do that PK clauses don't need to be a conversation anynore

I'll never trust RP to have mechanical influence because I know for a fact that as soon as you give that to things like alchemy, it's only pursued for the le epic buffs by people who don't gaf about RP and never for the actual niche or character interest. it's bad enough right now that a lot of people only use alchemy to spam potions for the mina grind, and incentivizing it through mechanics would only serve to make it more dull and unimpactful than it already is. we would see people/groups who would otherwise have no interest in this RP suddenly have an alchemy FA up within a day and it devolves into some of the most cancerous, bad-faith functions on the server alchemy is just a good example but this goes for any other niche of RP that might become codependent or even reliant on mechanics. prominent examples of these happening are when we saw a tidalwave of olog CAs come in when defender default was removed, or when bandits and pvpers only played dark elves for the speed boost

It's something tech will probably fix once more players get usernames and lose number discriminators anyways I hate twitterification this username update sucks

I don't know much about engorge but gilding is 99% aesthetic isn't it? It can't actually provide mechanical benefit according to the redlines and is just a visual quirk. Personally gilding shouldn't even require such a demanding creation ritual imo and I'd hardly call it "impactful" outside of, again, aesthetic flavor RP

dynamic surroundings isnt on 1.18 yet this is a lifesaver thank u

looks like you returned just in time for the map transition, which is hopefully this saturday :) best of luck in ur RP endeavors

im curious to know what this entails, escalation in the sense of people not FTBing soon enough? or just as a general hot-topic on the server?

you shouldn't be able to google someone's username or character name and find literal **** or their sex group because even if you argue you're "going out of your way" to search for it it can still be found by accident. especially considering the fact that it's infinitely easier to just google "[topic] LOTC" instead of combing through the hellscape of forums itself. if i want to find a player's profile page i'd be able to do it faster by just googling it and could easily happen upon someone's stash of twitter character art or w/e but witchhunting people who are discovered to consume NSFW content in a non-harmful manner circles back around to being the virtue signaling you guys spend so much time decrying because you're obsessed with being a champion of server protection and child safety. that's not even mentioning @Cloakedsphere's point that like two years ago you guys were head over heels for a certain player who did NSFW content as a young woman and would worship her in your discords but cherrypick who to hate depending on how attractive they are and what platforms they participate in or what services they provide
