Gonna step in and say a big hard disagree here. Not all classes should provide the same level of impact/have the same tools, because Lessers are inherently about collaboration and cooperation. The meta is always going to shift all over the …

I've asked this before of staff/admin, and never gotten an answer, but what is the best way for players to criticize systems and elements of the game that are perceived of as harmful without irreversibly hurting the feelings of the unpaid w…

Oonagh, my dude, aside from rhetoric like this being unhelpful, I'm not sure labeling people "toxic" after screenshots like those are released is the move I'd make.

To lay my position on the table, I'm one of the people who thinks the name should've been changed, and I'm a little confused about what people in my position are to take away from this closing statement in particular. If you're moni…

I kinda don't...super duper wanna comment on this, but I think the elephant in this room appears to be more that there's some sketchy metagaming going on, and I don't think sidestepping it in this way is the appropriate response.

Sure. That was supposed to be what houses were, but I'm sure there was merit to dissolving the Undead House system. That said, and this is anecdotal and purely a one-case situation, but when I first started, the mystique of having to…
As an aside I just learned today (after posting this) that apparently the Primus player by default gets a coded seat on the Bloodloch council, which seems like its own can of worms. But it also seems like something that should be mentioned here, bec…
I'm not upset, and I didn't take part in a coup. I would prefer that my analysis that I've spent days thinking about and discussing with dozens of other players not be dismissively disregarded as

I know these are mostly for RP and stuff, but I'm glad that Haven is an active part of the Aetolian community OOCly. I feel like he's a balancing force and he always brings a calming perspective to the table, with a much-more-grounded understanding …

Sure. And honestly the responsibility for the state of the community does, in fact, largely fall on the shoulders of the staff, almost entirely. And I'm sure Aetolia's not perfect, by any means. That said, I don't think it's entirely produ…

It's hard to say without speculation, but as someone who used to play 10+ years ago and having just returned, the game is certainly less toxic than it was a decade ago. Sounds more like praise for the self-policing of the community more tha…
I'm a bit bemused at some of this, to be honest. Totally get the criticisms of the Holy War system and other conflict vectors, but I thought a lack of global conflict was one of the things people complain the most about when it comes to the modern s…
Wow heck yes, a way to indulge my self-obsession and achieve the same validation as a buzzfeed quiz? SIGN ME UP. Redacted some stuff basically to avoid metagaming and revealing stuff that's not readily obvious to a new observer.
I seriously don't know how Mjoll threads the needle on being a badass and kind of a goofball but she really does in a way that's surprisingly authentic and a joy to play with.
