Do you consider LotC a...
PvP Factions Server
PvP Factions Server w/ Roleplaying Elements
Roleplaying Server w/ PvP Factions Elements
or a Roleplaying Server?

As it stands now? I think we are a roleplay server with PvP and mechanical elements. While it's important that we have mechanics (both through lore and plugins) to smoothen out interactions and make the server more attractive, I also think we should be wary of using them as a means of entirely replacing RP. With the greater standards behind lore mechanics as well, it can also seem like it may just be easier to commit to popping someone than it is to roleplay how many blocks a spell travels after charging its velocity for 'x' emotes. Are mechanics inherently bad? No. But overbearing mechanics can result in a loss of enchantment, bewilderment, and the otherwise mystery that I, when I was a new player, thought to be so immersive and engaging.
That said, I think we've been much better in encouraging quality standards of RP in the previous few years, especially among new players. I've noticed a lot of new players are much more willing to take on consequences and even PK their characters given a good encounter. People want to engage in that narrative — and that's a good thing! The more we push for that sort of thing as a playerbase, the less we'll be required to hinge ourselves upon mechanical systems to drive our narrative for us.

Just FYI I hate change so if you change anything about LotC or even make a suggestion about it I'll get really upset and dismissive.

will never understand people who read and write LoTC lore (VaatiVidya for people who stack even less paper). this information is straight up not valuable; most of it empty verbiage with no payoff, not even the expectation that some piece of it might be useful for traversing the in-game world. its only application seems to be limiting the scope of what other players can create.

I like to think of it as contributing to the world. Limitations will always exist, but that’s a necessary cost. So many players and ideas are presented on this server, and if they all ran rampant without any coherence or limitation, I would say we’d arguably be worse off. That’s not to say we should be super limiting either.

Anyone know a good way to make religions on LotC? Not talking about actual deities. Rather, ways of life, or even bastardizations of existing ones (heresies).

Thank lord I actually have something else to do than lotc— Y’all need to chill and and enjoy life, enjoy time when Jesus died so you can eat chocolate eggs.

funny take but the division of conflict RPer v slice of lifer is more of a representation of people who see this place solely as a game to win against those who see this as a place to create a narrative
