Re: Thank you!
Thank you, Pools, for giving us Yanai. I am pretty sure most of the game has joined Her cult.

Re: Announce post #3331: Hardcore Mode: Permadeath In Aetolia
It would be nice, that any character without a retirement value could be hardcore. Nice and fun way to clear out alts.
Re: Events post #288: Shattered Souls, Part IV: The Keeper of the Close
An amazing piece of storytelling throughout but in particular the writing has been fantastic.

Then, as if He never existed, the core of the forgotten Deity disappears with a singular, blinding burst of monochromatic hues, evaporating into radiant rings of ashen light and cerulean mist, a patina of memory touching earth and sky in evanescent brushstrokes that fade immediately to nothing.

If Dendara's so eternal, how come Haern has never kissed me? Checkmate, Lifers.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
Yeah, I mean, for obvious reasons, my character isn't joining in the "we persist" mantra, so I don't have a horse in the race. But it seems like the perfect thing to say, perhaps even especially, in defeat. Like "we persist" is something I imagine cockroaches say to us in spite of our attempts to exterminate them.
So while I get that it might be annoying to some folks, it is what a lot of our RP is rooted in, and our "Tenacity" "Persistence" "Undeath" Idealism we represent from an RP standpoint.
It's the rallying cry of the squashed.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
I've never had beef with people shouting their slogans and whatnot. That's a hype moment, and wonderfully characteristic of the people doing it.
It's when people chase it with "if you persist then why do you [reduction of a public event to a simple 'Ivoln lost']" or "if dendara's so eternal then how come [exaggerated PVP story]" that it gets obnoxious

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
The living have a much more RP reason to care about death than say the Undead.
Undead lore, Ivolnite Undeath and primarily that of a Teradrim is that the Earth will regenerate us by His gift of Undeath. We Persist, is a line touted by Ivoln Himself, in the face of the senseless desire of living to "kill" undead, which so long as His will allows will not happen. Even in discussion, and some of this event has touched on it, is that the Undead, are a creation, soldiers as even Varo has referred to us as, to exist when the End comes to all life. Enjoy the events, learn a bit, not everything is about who won the PK deathball.

So too is "Praise the Light" or "Dendara Eternal" obnoxious to some players in that same regard, but its a characters belief/faith, either interact with it or don't, but don't be a sourpuss.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
I think that's fine in web, or if it is consistent with character. For example, there was a time where Aya took very little seriously. Everything was a joke to her, even the Gods. That said, I do hate 'it's what my character would do' and if you see it is annoying other players and sapping their fun... stop. Do silly thinks to yourself rather than annoy other people.

Gods have a more powerful version of zap, that increases xp loss *and* time spent in the death sequence, that stacks. Those should be for the "haha nice once"s.
