    Hey Sadhyra, Seir here from Aetolia. I agree and disagree with some of this.

    Skill bloat isn't necessarily the problem, it's the fact that Lusternia's skills are all FULL skills and some of them (like Arts) prob…

    I've said this on Peasantface, but I guess it's semi-relevant to the discussion at hand but kind off-topic to the thread. Regardless, I feel it's a good lesson for everyone to learn:

    Firstly, if I had the abilit…

    In some cases, I think balance nightmares are somewhat acceptable because they lend to credence to the concept of asymmetrical balance which is what games like Lusternia are based off of. You never want things to be perfec…
  • A few recommendations since I recently went through the tour with an alt.

    One thing I don't like across all of the IRE games as they're all doing with this with the tour is forcing novices to immediately come to a decision about city/comm…
  • One thing I would like to encourage the administration into keeping in the new guild system, regardless of what they plan on doing with it, is keeping the Guild Administrator and Guild Champion positions in some shape or form. I feel that they are a…

    It gets easier. As you participate more in PvP, your eyes will start noticing the important blurbs a lot quicker and filter out the rest. M&M is handy in that it adds a prefix for when instas are happening to you…

    I think it's because it can break immersion for some people. Inb4 "muh immershunz".

    To other people: I'm fine if you perceive them as illusory, but they should probably suggest as much in the honours itself. If …
  • As someone who has played both in earnest, I will say the following:

    1.) Achaea puts a lot of stock into traditional fantasy archetypes. You see this with Mhaldor being the "City of Evil" and Targossas being the "City of Light and Good". …
  • I've known at least ten players across IRE, many of which I knew on a personal level, that have committed suicide. As someone who has/still does suffer from depression, it's really crappy and you can feel like garbage, but there are people who care …
  • J is for Japhiel.

    Used in context:

    "Okay, guys. We're going to raid Celestia. We need to hit Shakiniel and Methrenton firs-- Wait a second, WHY IS SHADDUS ATTACKING JAPHIEL!?"

    "DAMMIT, SHADDUS."
  • Man, if I have to read one more laurel scroll about how I'm getting slapped in the face somehow or some hand touched me, I'm going to start shooting my cudgel all over the place. I really miss it when it was just an auction artifact and Vath, some o…

    Well, they did firstaid because another game did it. All of the games do a lot of things simply because they've been shown to have a large degree of success in other games. I'd say that's a rather arbitrary reason given th…
  • That enforced peace and essence hit is going to hurt, @Sondayga.
  • Well, the solution is to clearly keep asking!

    I would say if players find value in it, doesn't that contribute to the game because the players would enjoy it?

    Not to mention, if the players have repeatedly requested it, it soun…
  • You're all adults, at least I hope so.

    I'd rather Tweets not get closed because a few of you are incapable of acting civil. It's just a game and this all stemmed from a "novice" who will likely not even play the game. This is exactly why …
  • The amount of passive aggressiveness in this page is overwhelming.

    Pretty sure no one wanted to force the "newbie" out of the game. Fairly sure it's not worth getting this worked up over either.

    Person is allowed to rant about …
  • I kind of agree with @Celina in that the Laurel Scrolls are pretty bad and probably could use admin approval. I'm not saying that as someone peeved since I was one…

    While true, just remember that there's consequences for everything. I probably wouldn't get upset for a newbie learning Influence instead of what the help files say. I can say from other games that if you harass me or insu…

    Arbre and Eleanor are definitely cool as heck. I was only made somewhat cool as Seir by my association with Arbre, clearly.

    On the subject of an idea, and I'm not sure how simple this would be, but could w…
  • Since this thread got necro'd, I will say that I've never cared for pre-planned roleplay. It feels forced and non-organic. Spontaneous RP is generally best, in my opinion, because you don't have an idea of where it could go. I think it allows for si…
  • So as someone playing again, I think this is a great idea for a variety of reasons. For one, it eliminates the huge amount of division created by creating a guild for every archetype that exists and allows the playerbase to consolidated as they once…
  • I might be down for this, actually. Doubly so if we're leaving from Maryland or something.
  • Saw this thread while lurking and as someone who has been both a roleplayer and a combatant here and elsewhere, I'm going to echo the sentiments of @Celina,
  • Late, but I have the fondest memory of @Nyir as far as an ally goes.

  • A great guy with a great sense of humor to boot. Remember playing against him and playing with him at times. He will be sorely missed.

    Will miss you, Vath. Take care.

  • (Quote) You didn't really provide a reason as to why it's bad. It's not hard nor time-consuming for an administrator to say, "Hey, uh. You should probably not enemy people just because they are standing in Faethorn and minding their own…
  • (Quote) If I recall, you were once a part of Glomdoring as a Harbinger. You quit and used Harbinger abilities against Glomdoring. Yes, that's a pretty strong reason to keep you from joining and denying your entrance.

  • While I'm mostly just lurking, Daedalion's tweet is possibly a reason why people can't have nice things.

    Enemy statuses are there for legitimate crimes against an organization. If you start doing it frivolously and with no in-character ju…
  • Yeah, sure.
