Re: Request from the Church of Sparkle pastor

The reason the Church became a gathering point was simply convenience. Since the newbies "home" command brings them there, its an obvious point to meet. Any official place that is not where "home" goes, has to battle laziness and confusion. New players going "where is it&qu...

Re: If the game were nerfed ...

At a certain point I think a bug simply becomes a feature. I don't think a major disruption is worth trying to fix this. I think it will have harmful effects and break some guilds to the point of being unplayable altogether. Maybe a simpler solution would be to buff guilds that are underperforming a...

Wrong.

EW and Minstrels are both accessible to evil characters.

Why not the butterfly event? It was super simple to grasp.

Re: Guilds of Genesis

Simple fix: If you did it for thematics than keep it cast on the horse, but don't make it break when you dismount. Sure. Make it only a boost when mounted, but keep the spell going when you dismount. Otherwise you're going to burn through components pointlessly.

Re: Guilds of Genesis

Maybe I should've mentioned _caster_-options here as I assumed it was obvious. Not sure if minstrels count as casters, and, when or if they will be recoded. Herald equivalent? You refer to the alignment, or power? Well at the moment you started your work there were 2 neutral options (minstrels, EW)...

Re: PC Gamer

It is nice to get fresh perspective... does highlight we need to have a look at some of the commands and how they work. I think a lot of us are just used to the experience, but in making some of the basic commands 'smarter' we could retain more new players. I was new not too long ago. I remember pl...

Re: Shire NERFED!

Amberlee is right, for eleven years the barrows have been famous for being the best spot in the game to grind for money. It was well known and popular. The "bug" wasn't game breaking. Bottom line is if you didn't notice for eleven years then it's on you. You break it, you buy it. This was ...

Re: Tank-Rotation Updates ...

This is a good change. However, I hope we don't start running around copying abilities to give to the other side in order to create ability parody. Certain levels of controlled unbalance make each side have their own appeals. And I'd prefer you didn't copy/paste abilities in an effort to make things...

Re: Guilds of Genesis

I agree that thieves are underrepresented. I don't think backstab outweighs all the nerfs that have been done to steal. Being an actual thief and stealing things just isn't a viable playstyle, you're for sure going to get caught. What would be a neat occupational idea is a rogue guild (maybe set in ...
