I don't like to double-post, but people have expressed concerns about my post and it's important for my position to be absolutely clear.
Spinesreach pissing everyone off was necessary. The admin wanted a 1v1v1v1 scenario for the game's l…I don't even know where to start with this.
THE YLEM HEIST
After further consideration, I decided to start with the most important part, even though I wrote this section last.
The Ylem Heist led straight to e…There's also the upside that Duiran and Enorian now have distinct roleplay.I've had to explain to a few new players what the tethers and the Albedi Gods were, and while I'm happy to help new players understand the lore, basic game elements like tethers are so fundamental to the setting that new players should have a good u…I've had similar experiences with alts. All the cities have some way to get people involved, but it's hard to find an in when you're a new character. Foci combat is the easiest one, but combat isn't for every player or every character -- I would …HELP HARDCORE and HELP HARDCORE FAQ have all the disclaimers. Don't make a hardcore character if you're not willing to embrace the risk. That's the whole point.I can confirm that building Lexadhra up as the Goddess of Dramatic Chaos Energy and then explicitly putting her in the Spirit tether made it hard to understand where she fits in the game, both OOC and IC. Tetchta has been immensely helpful wi…Sometimes people are busy with life, or bashing, or whatever else they want to do, or they're having fun doing their own thing, or they're not into a big org project for whatever. I find it's something that's extremely difficult to balance as…You know when you're RPing or talking with someone, and there's kind of a lull, and you're not sure if you should be doing something, or if you should wait in case someone is writing a long emote, or if someone's gone to eat something, or if the con…Remember today, when Shadow Web was joking about Mirrors because of a lag spike and you told us to keep dreaming you complete and utter troll.
Good times, good times.
Anyway, gib Archivists Shadow Shaman with cu…I like that ministries give people opportunities to get involved with cities. There's definitely an argument to be made that the opportunities aren't good enough or that they're not spread evenly across the ministries or that some ministries are a p…(Quote) It's not just Abhorash as a character. All my OrgReq-related interactions with Ictinus have been like that (without the pissing on my cornflakes, obviously). I pitch an OrgReq, explain why I think it's helpful, and get feedback. The only n…(Quote) As the monkey's paw curls, Ictinus announces the next auction is going to have a level 200 token... for Iron Coins.
I'm generally happy to see chocolates on the way out. Planning bashing around time-limited buffs that cost credits or silver keystones absolutely sucks. It's great while you can use them, but eventually, there's going to be too many other peo…The Shattered Souls event has been incredibly inspirational. I really enjoyed the Curse event overall, but one of the things I didn't like about it is that it didn't have a very clear foundation for roleplay. There was a mind control thing happening…While I was ready to immediately convert Legyn to Lexadhra and call an emergency meeting to make her the new Archivist patron, the Soul Index plotline still isn't resolved, so I doubt the event is over, and Severn's reaction...
(Quote) Despair goes on the stack.
It resolves.
(Quote) I was ready to join Varo's Congregation and make him Patron of the Archivists as soon as the event ended and he took his rightful place.
Prepare yourself for crushing disappointment is what I'm saying.(Quote) I think Spinesreach has a well-defined cultural identity, but lacks a purpose for people to consistently rally around. It's the city that both studies and fights the Shadow, so if the Shadow isn't currently doing something, Spinesreach doe…Working with what you have is always easier than working against it, unless you're willing to start over from scratch. Short of razing all the cities to the ground and rebuilding them in a way that makes the tethers irrelevant and basically forces t…(Quote) I'm usually coding or doing guild work in the background while I fish. Remember to check your tells regularly in case someone contacted you for something and it should be fine.

(Quote) I am extremely on board with this.Novices definitely shouldn't be allowed to join militias, people who want to participate should join the militia, and people who don't want to join the conflict should leave the militia until they want to do open PK again.

I think the next event will be smoother since people will have a better idea of how to play through it and the changes look like they would help a lot.
However, I would not want to see it as a regu…A new pair of mirrors every six months or so is what I expected based on how long ago Revenants and Wardens were released, the producer changes, and all the other new features were implemented in the meantime. I look forward to it, especially if fut…It's risky and safer at the same time. If you don't pay, you're boned, but if you lose the bid, you didn't spend any real money on credits you only wanted/needed for the auction.
