You compliment a terrified Lirangsha artist on his outstanding intellect and physique.
An ethereal bluebell fae smiles encouragingly at a terrified Lirangsha artist.
A terrified Lirangsha artist puffs up his chest and a crazy gleam enters his eyes as he vigorously agrees with you that his intelligence and strength far surpass anyone else's.
A terrified Lirangsha artist says, "May the Elder of Art hear me! I swear my dreams will be as blue as the sky. If you find my dream, push it to the Heart of Shallah where it can then take physical form."
Looking around sadly, a terrified Lirangsha artist nods to himself and walks off in a determined run.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 95.
You have reached the illustrious level of 1st Order of the Hyperphysical.
You have received 23 Bound Credits!

A whisper from the trees and a frosty presence tells you, secretly, "But you are strong, little
flower, and wise." The voice shifts and expands, becoming more real. "And everything you just said
in the ritual made me feel safer. You should, too."
To the Divine who is responsible for this ongoing storyline.
Thank you, the amount of RP conversation between players, guess work, travelling, investigation and reference to background lore the last 48 hours have been amazing. I love Coim and Slem, not as literally as Slem thought Mork meant though!
On a personal note I appreciate everything has a pace you want it to go at, and not to have every bit of information end up with one or two persistent people, so I apologise if I just seem pushy or demanding, it's not the case. I'm hooked, and while the little bit of my brain that determines logic is going "Ok, that's probably it for the night" the larger part of my brain is coming up with more ways to poke for answers and looks a bit like this:
In short, I'm having a blast, I hope you are too.

Working out how to deal with classflexing as a guild is scary, but a discussion on the guild channel with @Haezon and @Kethaera has made me really confident that we can nail it.
So pleased to have such awesome guildmembers who are up for chatting about potential options, even when a lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea but learning to not only live with it but turn it into something that we can grow and have fun with
Plus, one of those awesome kids is my daughter. So I get to be smug.
Azula is great for letting me tag along with her for my very first combat experience in Lusternia. I've never even been in the arena here. I was so excited that I forgot that I had no aliases set up for Celestialism, and I never even bothered to set up combat defenses in M&M. So basically, I was a sitting duck at a grand level of 65. My rift doesn't have over 50 of anything, and I had just gotten great robes (not yet enchanted) like 5 minutes before. It was awesome!
Also, thanks to all the baddies who killed me: Uruk, Delphas, Daedalion, Akyaevin, Munsia, Jinto, and anyone else my newb mind overlooked while I was shaking in a huge adrenaline rush.
You lecture a furrikin farmer on the dangers of civilisation, against which the Serenwilde protects. A furrikin farmer slaps his knee and declares that, by the gods, the Village of Estelbar should follow the Free Collective of Serenwilde after all! Shouts rise up from the Village of Estelbar, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Free Collective of Serenwilde.
I just wish we had a way to say, "This race is discouraged but still accepted."

They do, but some places like Hallifax don't ban races. I'd still discourage but not ban Viscanti and Illithoid there, or discourage merian in Glomdoring.
For context, Magnagora occasionally goes through a period of "furrikin are scum" every so often, and I've had to try and keep people from banning them outright or making them "untouchable" so to speak.

I think the non RP, more mechanical reason for this is the most useful aspect. Stop newbies from rolling an Igasho Mage or a Mugwump Ebonguard, because they have no idea how awful their uninformed decision is about to be, and you save them wasting their one time free reincarnate.

Considering more than a couple notable figures in Mag based their entire RP around tainted furrikin I dunno why they would. Mostly N'kylbar I believe though.

I didn't choose a trill Serenguard because of PvP. I picked it because I wanted to play it.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

Isune, the Aesthete has bestowed Her divine truefavour upon you. It will last for 1 month.

So... since the in-game thanks felt a bit curt and not really enough. Imma just go here and once more say thanks. A lot.
... I have three truefavours. How awesome isn't that?

No longer a Cosmic Wayfarer. Now if I could only figure out where it is that I haven't been.
Off peak raiding spot.
The above post was brought to you by significant amounts of tongue in cheek.

That felt good!
