You've been a treat to roleplay with since Drestyn came back home to Duiran. I know our one RP event got cut a little short, but you've been popping in for periodic roleplay every now and again. I'm glad that you're starting t…

After doing the math myself, this is correct. Assuming the event started at 10 AM EST, it takes around ~35 RL days to reach the next Orrery event. Given that every 4 hours is a day in Aetolia, and we keep adding this by intervals of 4 for …
Edit: See below on final calculation. I thought the complaint was made to shorten the overall span of the event so it blatantly favors one time zone. Since the static time swap repeats every six months, this can inadvertently end up favoring those i…
Objectively this is more fair than what exists it sounds like because currently that is ALWAYS a spirit strong side. The event opens for us, and ends for spirit, and the side holding it at the end will tend to win. So, no, quite t…
By "stagger," I mean have the event's start and end times shifted eight hours forward each round. It starts on 10 Variach. Next round, it starts on 12 Midsummer, followed by 14 Variach and so forth.

Disagree with this for the same reasons I disagreed with staggered war times. Not everyone plays on the same time zone and there is no reason to disqualify those who do play in different time zones solely because of where they live. …
I don't write affirmations all that much, solely because it can be difficult for me to sometimes interact with other characters, which is primarily my fault for creating such a fault within my own character. I digress, however, a…
This is kinda-sorta combat related, but I was wondering if we could pull a page from Imperian and offer help files that provide a synopsis on how different classes utilize their skills in a solo or group environment, their primary balances (whether …
I think the important thing here is to focus on the Cabalists rather than the attacks against others. This is an important thread, as this is potentially something that can grow as a solution by the administration to guilds beyond just the Cabalists…

Agree with this wholeheartedly. Regardless of someone's past experiences with the Cabalists, there's no denying that the Cabal was a guild that had a rich history in Aetolia. You had some of the biggest names in the past come from the guil…
Posting here because I don't really have anywhere else to rant about this:
Went to a therapist a few years ago who ultimately determined that I'm vastly stressed out by being near my Mom. She is bipolar, has a history of alcohol abuse, ha…

I don't know what you think a conflict system is outside of 'going in, fighting, and leaving'. That's... pretty much the gist of a conflict system. Quite literally verbatim. Unless you want to specify in that HG and Sect offer more persona…

War had people harvesting, getting supplies, or what have you for the active militia, it had non-coms scouting or keeping an eye out, etc. It wasn't as readily apparent as with globes, but war really was about getting everyone involved rat…

We can argue semantics if you want or nit-pick one aspect of each other's arguments, but my argument is that conflict systems, whether they be 'events' or anything else, shouldn't be exclusive to the PK crowd or the non-combatant crowd. Th…

You already have the Hunting Grounds and the Sect of Blades as valid avenues of seeking out conflict and PvP. Conflict is an integral part of Aetolia in both lore and in its mechanics, and conflict isn't exclusive (nor should it be) …
Non-combatants should be allowed to contribute without fear of being dogpiled on, because that is exactly what would happen. Even if you made holding globes open PK, a non-com just get ganked OR non-combatants will just hand their globes to the comb…
I had to spend some time wondering about this question and I've read some of the responses of others and concur with a lot of the points made on the nature of guilds and what they necessarily represent. Throughout my time in IRE, I've seen guilds re…
Edit: Apparently the forums are being screwy with me. Usually, the only one grinning during an interaction with Omei is Omei Herself. The rest of us are screaming as to why Omei is spouting limericks about ham sandwiches while ripping out our eyes.
I've noticed that Aetolia has a lot of outdated help files or really old ones. Would it be possible to open up help file revisions to be submitted to the administration by the players, similar to how AB's are? The administration could choose which o…
So, I made a post a few months ago outlining the issues that were plaguing Duiran.
I'm happy to say that it has gotten better many, many times over. As have the Sentinels for the most part. I've enjoyed working alongside both in LOVEComment by SeirSeptember 2016
So basically like Adder's mechanic if not pulled, just in a blade release form, allowing the Templar to do a 3-way aff attack at once or whatever empowerment and then an attack?
