I understand where you're coming from. Not defending can have political ramifications, not succeeding can be even worse during an election in my experience. I'm also the type that usually enjoys PVP and taking on challenges... I just can't …

While I agree it is a challenge to RP, it's one of those things you have to give up for your own sanity. Yeah, I could go defend like I want to but all I'm going to do is:

If they wish to retain the few remaining people who actively participate and care about combat, sure this is a solution. However, IMO it would please the whales while probably driving off more of the players they "consume" in said frequent …
I've interacted more with Ianir than any other Divine since I came back (I'm pretty sure he didn't enjoy some of said interactions). I am a big fan of his regardless. Ianir = the best. Thax seemed interesting, but absent divine are absent.
I believe the answer to getting the final keystone involves giving baby manticores to bheion, who then gives you a poison you can put inside the stew pot when the cook is in his room chopping meat. When he comes back and samples the stew, he will be…

This aspect of denizen combat has always seemed unnecessary to me. It's great that they have shields, but there's nothing you can do other than wait for them to attack or hope you have beast balance up. The only thing it adds to the g…
I've never really been interested in Divine Orders as Daedroth. I don't think it really fits the character. He believes the Taint is the ultimate power in the Basin, that it will be the means to destroy/transform the Soulless and dominate. Only thos…

To me it makes perfect sense to leave it to the envoys. They're often the types of characters who should be the only ones that care about combat "balance" anyways. All anyone else needs to know is "What skills do I spam to help the bi…
Eh. Combat (and all the discussions that stem from it) really isn't all that interesting anymore. Skills are a never ending unbalanced mess to begin with, add on the advantage being an actual coder gives to combat and you begin to realize that it's …

While I like the relaxed roleplay that this line of thinking offers, it does make the fabric of the game world weaker at the same time. It seems like some Magnagorans/nihilists treat Nifilhema like some kind of psychopathic aunt that we dot…
It's just a text baby. Honestly, if their real life convictions are against fictional baby killing and it interferes with their character's convictions, that's just bad choices on the player's part to join the "evil forest" org. When I think about i…
A beast that's just hanging around somewhere doing nothing isn't really a threat as far as I know. In combat is a different scenario. It's not like killing the beast really accomplishes anything other than inconveniencing another player unnecessaril…

One reason why games like this have any audience is that they can do things other games can't or won't do. Whoever made that quest had their artistic vision of how it would go down and I think it adds more to Glomdoring than it takes …

Good luck on your new path. There are so many puzzles and other things to do in Lusternia... If you have a life in RL, pursuing PK doesn't leave much time for other Lusternian goals that don't support PK. I can't play nearly as often as I u…
I'm not a fan of snubbing simply because it's weak sauce to use it. It's just a game and it's just words. The only things that get me riled up are mechanical/system/business issues with the game. Everything else is "fair game" and I just treat it as…

I would actually be kind of okay with that. Starmourn seems like it will do a lot of what used to set Lusternia apart from the other IRE games. Different worlds, space traveling, space combat, etc. Add that to the fact that it's also …

There are people participating in combat, that aren't me, that aren't artied up? I say that somewhat tongue in cheek. Most of the people I fight on any given day have a lot more invested than I do. Timeslip, damage absorption, resistance ar…

I think I've realized mage is actually the reason I stopped playing way back. It was a little after Gaudiguch first showed up and the pyros got their round of nerfs, meanwhile Hallifax was running around balestoning and w/e else they were s…

I agree with you more than I don't. You're right, you shouldn't use it around an ego killer. How many mages went dreamweaver again? So just how often will you actually be using forcefield safely? Not to mention it locks a pretty useful chan…
