Go ahead
Throw your rocks at me
From your little glass house
And then take off running
You're no better than me
We've both made mistakes, haven't we?
I won't undo what I'm doing
Sit in judgment of what makes us human
I don't claim to be proud
But my head won't be hung in shame
I didn't plan it
But the light turned red, and I ran it
And I'm still standing
It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here
I understand it
A story written by my own hand
It's life biting right at your heels
I didn't plan it
But it's finally something to feel
Oh
Look around you
Ain't no saints here, baby
We're all just looking for a little less crazy
And sometimes, it's a hard left turn
Down a road you never thought you'd see
I didn't plan it
Taking back what's been taken for granted
And I can't stand it
I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free
I needed saving
And a good mistake needed making
Maybe you need the same thing
Something to feel
To race through your blood
And remind you you're here
To open your eyes and look around
And see the sky when you're underground
I didn't plan it
But that's life
And I'm finally feeling alive
It's not right, but it's mine
And it's finally something to feel-
@rukio? basically me except the last verse, trying to get there though

Right, I don’t make these sort of Status reports, but it fits in a way...
So, hello people, have any of you seen the increased number of people not following Lore, like curses and so on, and having nothing done with it at all? Or people flat out not knowing the Lore? I have a feeling that that is something that has been going on and it intrigues me, and how that goes on for as long as it does, “come on man, we are a community at least read the Lore.” Is what I would say if it really is real and not just me being jaded.
Or people just showing basic disrespect for people and casually breaking rules like running from Roleplay as an example, just feels strange. Now I know your responses will be “Just report them reeee!!” But the problem with that is, it is on such a high level of mundaneness that... it is almost impossible to report it all, I don’t know, it could just be me, but it feels like LoTC has gone down the hole for too long.
I know that I will sound like a meme like this, but can be somewhat brought back the Anthos Rules? The reasons I say this is because of the number of PvP instances I have been seeing and how much it flips mages and other roleplayers off, just seems a little weird to me that that is kept up, we have Warclaims for mass PvP after all, of course we can’t get rid of it fully, but let’s tone it down a little, if it is because you are not the best at CRP Nepir made a guide on it, and I am sure people are willing to help you in some way, if you need it that is.
Now that we are done with those concerns lets move onto something else on the matters of things that likely need changing, and likely is being worked on.
A guide for new players, this I know is being worked on, and comment on that post boys! The more the better! I need things to work with.
I suppose we also need a way to do routines for moderation in the game to check for people breaking rules like “Ravens in the sky” over a city watching that sort of area, or something, but opinions, this might be too hard to pull off. Especially with the merge of teams that happened...
Now this one goes to the Application Team I love and adore (I know how biased wow xD), I think a harder application formation will be key for raising the quality of LoTC at the current state it is in, which for the record the Application form is pathetically easy man, I know it needs to be alright, but raise the standards a little.
I think that is everything that I personally, in my own opinion, needs addressing. Likely some points I am forgetting, but what can be done in the end. I can’t remember every point, I am human after all.-
the lore is bad, I can’t find a comprehensive guide to it anywhere, and the time I could spend reading lore could also be spent playing this game on my very limited free time. the lore team’s priority has been solely focused on magic moderation for so long that there’s been almost zero effort taken in curating lore into an easily accessible format
the curses are a fundamentally stupid idea and they’re set up in such a way that nobody should ever follow them. there’s plausible deniability with elf fertility (oh we just FTB’d and rolled 100 times), orc bloodrage is a bonus, dwarf greed comes naturally to players, and there are no hard and fast rules on human age. I don’t like elf women giving birth to triplets or 600 year old humans but at the end of the day it doesn’t affect my roleplay very much. you could rewrite the curses so they actually meant something (elves have higher infant mortality [which you can actually rp] rather than a higher dice roll for conception, humans are naturally bent towards destructive wars [because they are already], etc.) but the idea of having convoluted pros and cons just isn’t very good
mages do not deserve any ******* quarter when it comes to pvp. once mages lose their thanos gauntlets that shoot fire and magic swords and invincible CA creatures we can talk about defender default being unfair. so long as you’re not attacking anyone you basically choose the rules of engagement, which means you can force someone to rp default against your huge advantage or go away. the system is fair for you, it isn’t fair for people who want to play mundane characters and not get dicked down by anime protagonists and bandits
