So what role does essence currently play? I know a very long time ago in Achaea it was rather difficult to do certain things if you didn't have essence, because a lot of the god commands relied on essence.

A modicum means a small quantity. It's by no means a large focus of the class, but they get their ritual weapons from the earth, and they can earthmeld & etc. Sorry if my vocabulary was problematic there.
I'm a little lax with Veovis' use of Hematurgy. As a Reborn vampire he has a modicum of control over Earth and a great deal of control over Blood, particularly his own. If I can make the Earth part when I need to recuperate, why can't I make it part…

I don't specifically describe the color of Veovis' eyes or his height. I use adjectives like slight and diminutive and leave the specifics up to the reader.
I'd like to see an artifact that let you buy access to reincarnate between a limited number of statpacks. At say 200cr per statpack there would still be incentive to buy tranmutation or whatever the new one that combines with polymath is, but those …

Oh, I don't disagree that Abhorash's return was a good and necessary thing for vampire houses. The Imperium was old and toothless and largely led by people who wanted to avoid conflict at any cost.Vampires needed a good shakeup …

Oh, it's not worth complaining about. Once you reach level 50 or so, sun damage is not really a big deal. You can sun-run in wolf form or bat form and take no damage if you don't want to waste cures. Bloodborn can more or less n…

I haven't really paid attention to the sun in a long time, because even the most basic system can deal with the afflictions and damage, but I really thought sun affs also gave out stupidity and confusion. Can't really blame me f…

It's not actually that hard, to be honest. Aetolian PK is 60% having access to a good system (or being able to write one) and 40% knowing combat well enough to make sure that the system doesn't unicorns the ever-loving unicorns …

That was the beauty of Abhorash as he was originally. He could go around PKing because he didn't have any overt special status as an admin character.Yeah, pretty much all of us who had been long-time Achaeans knew who his player…
1. I don't read charcter descriptions if they're over 10 lines, unless they're interesting. I'll skim longer ones. I started MU*ing in an environment where brevity was appreciated (raw Telnet baby), which is why most of my own descriptions are le…
It can get lulzy, especially since they nerfed most of the abilities that were the mechanical reason for the damage/afflictions anyway. Rage. Rage. Gripe. Unicorns. I'm like the vampire Gra…

There was some in game lore that said Azudim were generals of Undead armies in the ancient past. They seem to have changed that, but I'm not familiar with the updated lore if there is any. I think I had stopped playing by that t…
"This is the place where food goes to purchase items that make its blood taste sweet. A cloaked figure, who looks like Veovis, waits in a shadowy corner."

Your history is correct. The last Varian took over as producer from the first Varian who, well, wasn't so hot as a producer. Aetolia has the dubious distinction of being the only IRE MUD in existence to have had its producer rem…

The Bloodborn have the ability to change someone's blood rank pretty much at will, so long as they can find a willing vampire with the desired rank. It also wasn't as much of a problem when re-Embrace was possible. You could mov…
Does Blood Generation (e.g. distance from the Primus) still have any practical effect? I know it used to, but I've heard conflicting stories on whether it effects anything but your Dominion/Imperium title at this point.

Ahh. Yeah. That's annoying. I think we're all probably guilty of that to some extent (we're only human after all), but it's annoying all the same.
