Agree. I miss when real fights happened. I came back about a month ago, rearing to get some good fights. I'd try to find groups of 2 or 3 to come raid and stir stuff up. I normally couldn't find 2 people willing to step into enemy territory. Xena even got annoyed with me for logging on and trying to stir something up. Now I normally just raid when Avurekhos is on because he's d.o.w.n. But that's rare, and lately, there hasn't even been anyone willing to fight the 2 of us.
Idk. The first time I ever ganked someone fully solo was some Glom midbie bashing kephera in the UV. I promptly got killed by Feyda (even though she took status) soon afterward.
It was then, my friends, that I realized the griefer lyfe was not for me. Though I still sometimes anally patrol the kephera hives looking for unsuspecting bashers of my precious esteem generators.
But yeah. Even though I hate Mysrai, super srs, I'm just not interested in the essence tank I'd get for getting wiped off the face of the earth by the gaudy squad for kicking a dreameater moth. Nor am I gonna go hunting for shrines, etc. I tried killing Fire Lords while some Pyros were around for a few days, no response, minimal gold ( I was hoping for treasure troves, goddamn it). No point in assing my way to Vortex to kill freaking Vortex creatures. No point in going to Nil to kill things for single-digit power minuses. Just no point to conflict that isn't villages/domoths/flares. I'd 100% much rather spend my time gathering essence or influencing or chatting/RPing with my friends.
If anyone's interested in starting a State of Conflict thread, make sure to make it mk. 2 since we've already had one!
You have successfully overwhelmed the rebellion and spilled the blood of the false teachers upon the ground, feeding the Master Ravenwood. Now only the truth of the Wyrd and Glomdoring shall spread.
You receive 2750 gold for winning the vengeance game. Aekatli, riding a young dragon turtle with a spiky tail, arrives from the ether. A young dragon turtle with a spiky tail ponderously enters from the ether. The crazed zealot has overwhelmed both the rebellion and the Nightbringers in the Wyrden Court of Imperial Glomdoring, winning the Vengeance game!
Woo! Lucky zealot/killer win #2!

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.

Rave for @Camberre in helping me complete my Iron Horns curio. WHEEEEEEEEE!

Thanks to everyone who helped me with collecting those brains-in-a-jar. Especially @Enadonella and @Shango, you guys are awesome!
Well, they knew how badly you needed one, so... :P
(I kid, I kid! Don't hurt me...)
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.

1) Maybe this was a different Prime Celest raid but I took part in one that occurred while Xena and others were AFKING at the Pool, Meleris wasn't killed, guards weren't killed, we took down statues, made more all while they were afking at the Pool. Xena eventually woke up and brought guards to kill us while we were destroying statues.
2) Arien losing demigod is solely Arien's fault, not Leolamins, There are certainly people from the North that grief people whenever they can. Daebach, for one.
3) Resorting to 'config loyalsays off' is a stupid comment and shouldn't even be mentioned. Oh, Polyhedrons dying, can't interrupt my tea, -mute-. I think that's a pretty poor response, especially if you're the type of person that jumps in on fights when they're easy.
I wasn't logged in. I logged in, saw trouble, then helped. I don't afk at the Pool.
Also, off peak raiding is a myth. People can raid whenever they want. It doesn't matter.

Raves for being able to finish a semi-complicated design within five minutes of starting it. I'd have done it earlier in the day if I'd been able to think of a good appearance, heh.
You examine a third sapphire bottle shard curio piece of the Sapphire Bottle Curio Set carefully, before carefully touching it to a partial sapphire bottle curio piece of the Sapphire Bottle Curio Set. A brief flash of light reveals that the two pieces have joined together, finally completing a bottle of shimmering sapphire.
o Ordering phantom spheres to move will now send the command message before the sphere itself actually moves.
o The command movement message for the phantomsphere will now show the full direction name instead of what you type (ie typing PHANTOMSPHERE MOVE S will now show 'south' rather than 's' as the direction of travel).
Yay my bugs finally got fixed(at least a year or so later).

Another rave @Silvanus for putting up with all my frustrated questions, and being nice and helpful.
