Allowing folk to sell back mounts for some large fraction of the original value (floor(2/3)?), or even allowing a temporary opportunity for people to return mounts for full price would probably go a long way to soothing some aching balms here. …

Wow I have the willpower of a...person with no willpower, but this is either a tremendously egregious error in recollection, or just an outright malicious lie. That was IC, so I'm not really sure you're making the point you think you're mak…
Oop I'm back. Just here to cosign Elene and say that I've experienced the exact sort of behavior she's talking about, and likely from the same person, and it absolutely, 100% blows and I wish there were some sort of consequences for people hopping i…
To answer your question from my perspective, @Sibatti, I definitely experienced some, frankly, discouraging stuff when it came to roleplaying...I guess "dark"…
Most hate speech is now isolated on private Discord servers; it's extremely rare to see it in places like webs nowadays. I say this as a the "little [f-word]" who was in line to be noosed. So while it's helpful to keep hate speech and vitriol out of…

While I'm not logging in, I have been unable to resist clicking on the links people have sent me of various ongoings since I made my post, and none of which have tempted me to log back in more than this statement, and I'm going to say it as…
Edit: honestly I've probably lost the plot a little and I'm sure my second edit wasn't helpful or productive either. I'm a little in my emotions about this thread so sorry if this was too aggressive. I'm tired and gonna walk away from this convo unt…
Things are a bit intense on the forums right now, so here's something I love: the HELPEDIT system. I use it extensively now that it has milestones. Response times are really fast, and it's a small way to help make the game better and get a little ex…
I think whether you think this idea is a good or bad one, I think the responses to this thread are incredibly valuable because they illustrate the kind of content our community is most hungry for--I hope someone upstairs is taking notes!
Here's the deal; it's obviously abundantly clear to, I think, most of us that rules are not a binding constitution, but they are important regardless because, while we're all aware that you hold all the authority and power over this space and can be…
The company line is that we never had a paid immortal storyteller, we had a paid immortal builder who kinda turned themselves into a paid immortal storyteller; given that this is something that is difficult to have metrics on (how much ROI are we ge…
If it's on hold until all mirror classes are out, that is a nightmare scenario, because we're already ~478 days since the last world plot event, give or take, and waiting until mirrors would probably push that into a timeframe that would be measured…
Fwiw I don't think the mortal storyteller thing is a solution or a silver bullet at all to the overarching event and other customer service problems. I just think it's an objectively good idea that would make the game better. I thoroughly think we'r…
I mean I def think it should be a sliding scale thing to account for people who may not know they're breaking rules, but yeah, stripping them of the privilege all the way up to consequences like shrubbing sound good to me. This combined with good ve…
I do see this as a thing that, if it were ever implemented, would have some growing pains that all of us would need to be aware of. Like being careful with org mobs for one comes to mind. But it'd be worth it imo to see a little more vibrance in our…
Gotta double post sorry. What I like about this most is that it also provides a ton of fodder for celani et al to pick up if they want. If RPing your drunken sailor suddenly creates bigger potential that has lore implications, there's no reason it c…
This idea rules and my only real note is that, since the person is still playing the game, they'd need to be periodically monitored or audited, both in their shell and mains, to make sure they're not metagaming or abusing their go abilities to spy o…
Honestly deadass if only one person shows up just go with it like dang you'll make that person's day. Why do we need a huge crowd for absolutely everything?
I'm pretty tired and don't have the energy for a big nuanced post, but I don't think the Curse is the kind of event people are talking about, and it's been much, much longer since we've had an event that wasn't a game like that but rather a narrativ…
I really feel like "yes and" is something we don't see a lot of in roleplay and events coming from on high, when they do happen. The few things that do happen feel a lot more like a cutscene than an event. I know that choice is an illusion in a lot …
I think it's a little goofy that we're putting more constraints on unpaid volunteers than a lot of companies put on their paid staff. I feel like if you're going to ask people to give you their labor for free, the pitch could be a lot better. Should…

What determines what is insulting to the game/admin and what is something meant for emails? This seems like a needlessly draconian rule meant to stifle the very thing a game has a forum for: public discussion. This is a bizarrely authoritar…
We've kinda had this debate already, and there's some that are more fair than others, but Aet is full of stuff like this. My biggest compunction with Warhound Breeding right now is that at one point you were able to breed perfect hounds (or make the…
