I feel like the staff members responsible for handing out bans and punishments need to realise they should contact and discuss the issue with a responsible player, rather than outright punishing them without any prior contact. Regardless of that person's behaviour everyone is entitled to be talked too and furthermore it leads to a more healthy outcome and helps that player shape their behaviour in a positive way.

I saw a ban appeal and just remembered one of my earliest bans which was a mob grinder lmao, and I sat and discussed and chatted about it, had a laugh or two with the banning mod and he was like "Well it's your first offense and I can see it wasn't just you involved but because you used it most I'm going to give you a three day ban for it" and I was completely happy with that and learnt from it
So many bans nowadays happen without any prior contact or even attempt at intervention, and I think that's what the moderation team really need to understand is the critical part of a punishment.
Players don't learn or change behaviour from a silly xyz duration ban, it's the conversation you have with them to help them understand that will actually impact their behaviour.

anyone ever considered that if batman used the millions of dollars he had available he could have invested in charities and just built hella large rehab centres or facilities capable of housing homeless and disadvantaged people, who turn towards crime as the only method of surviving.
Instead he just breaks their bones in several different places in ways that healthcare insurance def can't cover and probably making that person's kids have to result to crime and causing further issues?

My shower thought really started a hot topic jesus
all I’m saying is the man in comics games n movies leaves ppl with probs tens of thousands of medical bills worth of injuries when they’re already fighting for scraps so is he more of an anti-hero in acknowledgment to this context rather than an overall do gooder
maybe he just is just an XP grinder and needs levels and Gotham is just his mob farm

sometimes I think lotc staff should just be told to go fly around atlas and axios to see how cool things were back then.
Spent a good few minutes just flying across diff event sites, like mordring or just ones done in freebuild n now it feels ETs are put so tightly on a leash

I think most of this then has just been a flam hate post as I think after their lore embargo all the hella rich n wild events left for a good portion of time, and I just haven't yet had the time or chance to feel that return on Aevos. Please understand I wasn't trying to insinuate a culprit or anything - I think all current ST (and you yes you) are wonderful and fit the role perfectly - I was more so trying to insinuate that they were held back, and well as you've suggested you're not trying to bloat the world already which makes a lotta sense
tl;dr was reminiscing of old events and Flam's lore embargo rlly killed my mood for the last few maps and haven't had the chance to see what Aevos' events look like.
p.s. also wasn't trying to say anything bad about your eventline, I was using it as an example of 'seen it not heard about it' as I'd just like to hear about events, even if I'm not attending them I think it's nice for players to hear about stuff that is going on

I can believe you that they're no restrictions, but it just feels like there are, and I'm not trying to claim anyone currently has done that, hell as I said it's probably flam's fault when he tore apart the lore and left it half digested as it is now, I just wanted to point out that hey, maybe we should look back at what has been done, the scale and quantity, the enrich levels of it and see if we can put something from back then into the now.
I mean as I said I've hardly seen any eventlines going, sure events are happening but they don't really get spread out, all events I've attended so far on Aevos have been player led, I was going to attend one last night but hey uh, it was set to start at 1am but what can ya do.
Idk, just feels quieter than before squawk n I miss just the levels of insanity ST's committed to in Axios and Atlas, I can understand it's probably not them, so maybe it's just the fact we lost 1/2 of our lore that was actually useful to events

I updated my old answer to sorta word it better btw
I'm not talking small events, like monster hunts or chase the chicken
I'm talking the big events, the massive lines where you could go near and be like 'oh jesus ****' like mordring's citadels, destroyed westerlands, the Inferi invasions scars, the Mother's tears, land savaged by the September Prince, the raids from play assisted ETs by that one event faction on Atlas, who were fighting the other guys
My issue really isn't quantity, what I meant by leash is I meant scale, they're allowed to go around and roam about doing stuff sure, but the bigger things that they used to do just feel like a thing of the past
I would also add how deceptive 935 non-unique players is in passing, how many of those were just the same recurring groups to each events?

Idk, it just feels like ST don't really go as out there as they used to, they're all talented really are, it just feels like they've been restricted, not claiming anyone's fault it could entirely be flam's for all I know - and I'm more inclined to put the blame on them anyway for it.
It just feels the last couple maps there's not been as much enrichment into the server I mean:
Jburg, Mordskov, September Prince, player-led Gravelords, Inferi Invasion, The Mother, Mordring, the event line on Axios to end it that was cancelled, thebutler's tunnel eventline, Joel making me sit up to 3am to do his silly Zar'akal event bc one of the Naztheraks wanted horns, the troll eventline, THE FAR GLADE
Those are just a few eventlines, and since that time around Axios-Atlas and a lil of the end of Arcas, I have not really tasted anything so enriching and constant in the server, I mean the Naga eventline seems big, it's got a big ziggurat, lot's of mentions around the area about it, but I haven't felt it. There's not really any forum presence from what I could see, if I am wrong please direct me to the post so I can at least check it outtl;dr if ya just fly about Axios-Arcas maps checking out some of the scale of the old events, it'd show why I feel Almaris and Aevos have been radio silent in comparison

What are ppls thoughts on a piece of lore that changes how magic is cast n used, this is just a shower thought I had but rather than just requiring line of sight how would people feel about an alternative optional system that requires rituals / somatic and vocal elements
mages rather than being able to sit silently n cast have to do flavourful gestures and incantations, or perhaps have to stay in the same place to draw out their spell, maybe it could be an alternative form of focus too in that the mage can get back to their spell if they lose focus at the same stage where they left it
(example being mage is drawing their ritual on the ground around them but knocked away, they manage to get back and finish drawing whatever was needed and bAM the spell is fulfilled)

It wouldn't be new ones!
My idea would sorta be like a feat or overhaul, (feat making it optional but irreversible, i.e. you either use the new system or just cast where you can see, you can't flick between them)the idea would be, right now you can sit in a chair and as long as you have Line of Sight (LoS) you can just cast, only needing to do a tell
the feat/overhaul would be rather than just LoS, you have to do verbal+somatic elements, or do some sort of ritual to cast it, maybe the option to do one or the other depending on your situation
I.e. the new system, you can't just sit in a chair you'd have to be doing a verbal and loud incantation, as well as moving your hands or body to fulfil the spell, or if you're out in the open you would draw some sort of ritual around yourself
It'd also mean that maybe connection operates differently, maybe rather than just losing your entire spell if you fulfil the incantation or ritual (say drawing this circle with runes, or fulfilling a set of phrases and gestures) the spell can still be finished
It'd also mean that people would have different methods they'd have to use to break your connection, which could spice up rp rather than just pocket sand, such as getting you away from your ritual spot, or stopping you from talking / restraining your hands to keep you occupied - which to note, right now you could still technically cast a spell from behind a shield as long as you could see over/around it
