Woah! Haha that's amazing. People really flip out about the strangest things.
:popcorn:
Edit: PS Arcanis, you shouldn't try to stir shit up if you don't play. Either don't post, or play.
I agree with you, and hope you trot this out when Anaklusmos next posts
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Honestly, anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to Magnagora recently would see it's in a far healthier state than it has been for some time, and continues to improve.
This is an org that has gone from a toxic attitude which openly tolerated and facilitated bullying and harassment of other players and admin, to one that is constantly trying to better itself, bring positive experiences, mend burned bridges with their godmin and give new players a positive welcoming experience into what is first and foremost a roleplaying game.
People who are critical of the direction the org is taking are either ill informed as to how things actually are, or were part of the reason it was so goddamn toxic and are mad that they can't get away with it anymore.
Of course it's not perfect and there's ways to go, but right now it's certainly not the worst org to live in and unlike other orgs has a promising future, whereas some you'd just be happy with signs of life.
I certainly agree with this. It's not the same atmosphere as Magnagora was a few years back and I have been enjoying the city lately to log in every day (though admittedly real life commitments restrain my active time), which is a far far cry from the past. Then again, I don't really get involved in and avoid any drama, which makes the experience better.
You are a wonderful place, I will admit this openly. You have great people like @Versalean and @Veyils who will bend over backwards to help you if you need anything. I had clothes made for me, herbs given to me, gold for my potions, rings made and people even made enchantments for me. These are all great things! But one part that really bugged me...they literally put in all this effort but refused to give me complete enchantments. I kept asking where the mercy enchantment was and all they did was spam "f'ai glomdoring" I am still so confused, but I think I will still play my alt there.
Man. The one time in the time I've played I missed a clt to say and it was in the worst possible scenario haha. It was so bad I'm still laughing. Also a subtle rave for @Czixi (I really gotta stop pinging you with raves tho). Thanks for putting up with me.
EDIT: Also divine RP is as tense as I remember it being.

That awkward moment when you're looking through your old files relating to your character and you discover multiple unfinished book concepts, along with a lore concept that you were coming up with for an org that you're not even playing in. I have a file labeled Ifa Divination for Lusternia, and I'm trying to figure out what it was I was planning. I'm pretty sure I know what it was, but it certainly caught me off-guard to find that...
Arent three out of four of those worthless as cures?

Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable. Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.

A well-dressed, red-haired waiter tells you, "We try to keep cakes, cheesecakes, ladyfingers, meringues, donuts, and cookies." [HINT]: Send a tell to this waiter saying "I WOULD LIKE SOME <food type, singular>" to order. (TELL waiter38136 I WOULD LIKE SOME CAKE)

Accountability is necessary.

Although I tend to refer to it as a 'robot kitten/infant comfort thing' to those not in the know.

Need to figure out what the going rate per IG day should be. Suggestions welcome.
The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

You mean when Spindle answered a newbies question?
It seemed like a good answer for a newbie who said they wanted to be a wiccan but prefered dark orgs.

You and me both @Crek. Let's take over the basin.
Huzzah, my bombard got the bubble! Would be more impressive if there had been opposition for it though. <.<
I am taking my victories where I can!
