Witold-Leszek for one, can't wait to fight 20 funny named & faceless brigants!

Nono, Shamans can no longer Power-game. We cannot 1 emote turn a wall into sand anymore & bury an army. On a serious note, while i cannot really comment if these changes make Templarism OP or not - since I've barely interacted with the magic & only seen it from afar in Events, I do think a drawback would be nice. Every magic should have one. Give it idk - exhaustion level per spell use, because you're doing some crazy athletic shit with your mortal body while channeling an Aengul's power. (This is a suggestion, not what I think should happen.)

Bon'Ox cackles in amusement at the pettiness, he's even impressed by it! For how much they hate dwarves, they sure act like one.

"oh." The squire stares as he reads the missives. Witold-Leszek's brow curves up in worry as he's travelling far away from home - unsure who's side he's supposed to take. On one hand - he considers himself a friend & ally to Charlotte. On the other - it is the leaders of Petra, Kurai-Kuni & Iduun.

Witold-Leskek blinks - he didn't know Lady Charlotte had a sister!

Heyhey! Wolfy gave good advice - so i'll essentially add to them :D (it became a thesis) Finding groups is a good idea. Make friends & enjoy the RP with em! Events both social & others are good places to do so. It's a bit difficult at times to join a new community, but hanging out, going around & seeing what each nation region of the Empire has to offer is a good idea. Also, don't sweat not knowing things & do ask people. 90% of the time people are willing to help out a new player! That's a bit rough haha, but i assure you don't need to know a lot of it. There's a few player-bases/races that has their own language quirks & some go pretty in-depth with it. It's not mandatory, just a bit of spice for RP. The player you interacted with probably just wanted to show off the Ancient Elven & how cool it is. As Wolfy said - karin'ayla and ker'ayla are fine basic things. Do ask people if you don't understand OOC. Absoloutly. I'd even say it's a good idea to do so & take breaks from LotC, if you find yourself playing a ton of it! Do keep in mind that sometimes Events & especially Combat can take a BIG chunk of your time. Like hours. As for the 'optimal time', it depends from person to person. Sometimes there are big droughts of RP for you, where nothing happens & then you suddenly have 3 different things you got to do at the same time. A general rule i'd say is IRL>LOTC - as some people get way too into it lmao. Few other things to keep in mind: - As a new player, a ton of new information & how the RP happens & commands & what is 'good RP' will be thrown at you. It might seem a lot at first, but don't worry! Always ask if you need an explination or help. - Remember, it's a PG-13 server. Don't go crazy out there. - Talk to characters who got a pink-name, they're CT staff members & it's essentially their job to help you out. - Sometimes RP can get intense & people will get mega into it. Or are super busy & focused on something else. Don't take what happens IRP personally! - The server is most active starting from around 2pm-3pm EST, if you want to find RP that's the best time. You can use /realms activity & hover over the different places to see where players are. - If you ever make a goblin, hit me up >:)) This i guess is already a lot of information, but i guess a general idea is to explore, look around, have fun & experience LotC for yourself o7

The Shaman despairs - suffering of Petra continues until there's a Female Heir

Man, Uruk-player base is not allowed to have anything nice huh? Ologs are a rare sight in an already low-pop player base. Since my return to LotC 3 yrs ago & consistant play - i have met exactly 5 Ologs. I don't think this rewrite is going to suddenly change that fact or make Ologs a super popular & overpowered CA. Otherwise, i hold no opinions. I'm not an Olog player. Very cool.
