  • Thanks. I've been changeself'd to a Lucidian for as long as I can remember anyway, so I'll just make it official.
  • Any advice on what races are good for an aeromancer?

    I haven't played in a long time (like, 5 years) and it seems like a lot has changed. Races are all about the perks now.

    Currently I'm a human demigod. I mostly do PvE stuff b…
  • (Quote) God I hope so. Being taken out of the game for a set period of time is all the death punishment you need. 
  • Create 5,000 alts and give them all a 1 credit head start.
  • (Quote) Same here. I quit playing this last time because I realized I just didn't have the time to invest to become remotely decent at PvP. The non-pvp stuff is also fun and interesting, but I was still so discouraged I just dropped the…
  • I don't see why not. It doesn't hurt anyone and it's the only way to see if you really like playing there.

    The argument seems to be you should embrace this process because it's an opportunity to RP. RP what exactly, I do n…
  • Depends on how strongly you disagree with the belief of making it hard to join. 
  • (Quote) The problem was no one ever being online to do it.

    This was a while back, maybe Serenwilde was just in a bad state at the time, but it didn't help the person wanting to play and couldn't get anything done.
  • Some of these IC restrictions on joining are overly harsh, especially if you're not an enemy.

    The last person I knew who tried to join Serenwilde ended up just quitting playing because they couldn't get 3 sponsors to reply after…
  • (Quote) That's how most games work. It's infinitely better than taking XP, I've just never been fond of the "you can't play the game for a while" method.

    Imperian had this thing where they put you in the underworld …
  • It gets annoying when you die a few times in a row and you start thinking of each death as a time investment.

    I honestly think losing xp/essence on death is one of the worst things about these games - all it is is greifing a per…
  • You don't conglute. 

    The costs to phoenix explained in the help file is how it is. 

    I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you.
  • (Quote) Congrats. 

    This is my first time submitting something - I'm pretty happy with the merit. I actually just started learning to draw/paint a couple of weeks ago, and this was the first thing I had drawn just ou…
  • Yeah, you aren't supposed to "hang out" in your bed. Doing things like playing games, watching TV, reading, etc in bed trains your body and mind to get into a mode to do that stuff instead of sleeping when you get in bed.
  • I can see people buying credits because of these - even small amounts. Because if you just buy 10 credits, that's a nonzero chance to win 5000.
  • Am I the only one who finds the concept of pliers, both how they are currently and the proposed change, to be really shady?

    The fact that you can spend buckets of money on artifact runes and not be able to move them around where…
  • Is the only way to get coins rubbing curios?
  • I think colossi also take special commands to move. That has always felt super clunky to me. I wish the game was context sensitive enough to realize you're setting in a ship/guardian/construct and let you move appropriately using the normal commands…
  • What if programmatically it would be handled like a def that prevents afflictions/instas and doesn't let you use any abilities except the ones the guardian has. This would let you move using normal move commands, use look, who, etc. Seems simpler th…
  • I like the premise behind this, but I'm not sure how much it will help.

    Instead of getting 2 combatant VA's, won't you just get more combatant DA's? While it would encourage orgs to raise more people, nothing has really changed …
  • Ahh, didn't realize that. Thought it was just a random hub of gates.

    The alternative method favors one org a little more than others.
  • I don't really understand how that area works (WDF or Crystal Meadows).
  • Is it just me, or did the gateway to the waste disposal facility on crystal meadows disappear? 
  • Posted this in tweets already, but I want to say that I agree with all points given thus far.

    I was making a monk alt, and was going to take tattoos until I read that you couldn't tattoo yourself, and immediately noped out of th…
  • No idea, I didn't realize you couldn't do it at all until I was reading a help file that mentioned it.
  • You should really be able to tattoo yourself. I don't care how much sense it doesn't make.

    Put some kind of magic mirror in the tattoo parlour where you ink the tattoo on the mirror and it appears on yourself.
  • I'm ok with those changes - making illusions have an actual mechanic that can be relied upon. 

    Quick side note - illusions use regular equilibrium, not psionic balance.

    The only thing that worries me i…
  • I don't know where the statement that Mage's don't need illusions because we have psionics comes from. 

    I feel like I need illusions. I use illusions. I would like to keep illusions.

    I agree with …
  • (Quote) I'm not convinced prompt illusions are "bad." No more so than the Wounds illusion, you're just altering how someone perceives their health/mana/ego or some other state.
