@anyone What isn't in Lusternia that you'd like to see? Can be lore, skills, whatever...
My own answer would be Ghalphalshi Swamps + hippos.
I've been watching Magicians recently and now I want a fingertut/handseal skill. I imagine you'd form the shapes and it remembers a certain number, your other abilities would trigger when the list matches their requirement.
So an ability might need like... idk, the doe shape followed by the foal shape, and another needs that sequence followed by the buck shape. I guess if you've played Aetolia it's a bit like numerology but you're contemplating numbers in a sequence to get the effects rather than eliciting them. Though maybe some thing to confirm you want to use the power, so you can skip certain things.
However unreasonable, I'd love to see analogs of the Glacial Sea and the Shattered Earth for Air and Fire.
I remember asking about this once years ago, and in the case of Air, it was considered unlikely due to the fact that we're..."missing" our fifth elemental lord, ahem. But it'd be cool if it was able to be accessed as a "dead" elemental plane.
Everyone: What is your biggest pet peeve in Lusternia?
Stupid names/titles/pets/laurels that ruin immersion EDIT: Also, things that are player-made that force a reaction or emotional response that your character would not normally have
Which reminds me, where is Fire's Fifth? Fled? Forlorn? Full-on Fantasy? Fill us in!
Gaudi uses it to fire the Lava Falls.
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.

This will never happen but here's my pipe dream:
I want to have the ability to be a hair stylist. None of this hair curio nonsense. I want a proper tradeskill and a salon and I want to be able to design any kind of updo or braid or curl or feather-do I want. And you sit in my chair in my salon and I make your hair gorgeous and it shows up in your desc.
THANKS, CURIOS, FOR KILLING THE DREAM.
(Additionally I demand the ability to design perfumes that I can put in pretty sorcelglass bottles and sell. Update brewmeister skills with that, plz.)
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."

I want custom perfumes! They could have apply messages and a custom description for the ambient!
I looked up to Fillin and Narsrim because they almost always handed me my ass. I specifically remember seeing them enter the area and I'd feel stress and break out in a sweat because I'm about to have a bad time.
I'd like Lusternia to literally get the blademaster class from Achaea because I am a huge weeb. Otherwise, I'm down for a ranger/gun-using class.
Pet peeve: I hate people with named weapons/pets as part of the shortdesc. There's no way that I would know you're wielding the legendary Kappa, Bane of TwitchChat unless I probe it or you (the owner) gets a rep for it. Likewise, how would I know that your ManBearPig pet is actually Snuggles, the Squishy ManBearPig?
Because it has a bubble hanging over it with the name, duh.

My pet peeve is item scarcity while alting. I used to love alting, but now I rarely do because this becomes an all to likely scenario.
-Needs waterwalking or something else like that -Can't find any that isn't on a brooch and costs way more than I want to bother with -Shrugs and goes back to main, makes cheap waterwalking rings since I couldn't find any others (so they're at least there for other people) -Checks alt in a week, still can't find any waterwalk rings except the ones I put up with another character, can't buy them due to seconds rules even if they're the most sensible purchase choice -Immediately QQ
Also happens alarmingly often with forging goods (but not as much now)
Think part of the issue is there are like no enchanters around half the time. Forgers are pretty rare as well. I like the idea of removing class links to professions.

Oh, Cliche RP is a pet peeve of mine. Like "I can do anything because I'm EEEEVVIIIILLLL." Or Hallifax excessive paperwork RP. Or Gaudi frat party all the time RP.
Moderation isn't the worst thing in the world.

Do you RP that you don't instantly know everyone's name upon just looking at them then?

Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight
Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
If your character was a cupcake, what flavor and/or icing would they be?
