Stencil or Ink Container for Shops
At present, stencils and inks use up a sizable amount of shop space. This is especially a challenge for stencils as they cannot be grouped and they decay so they cannot be placed in containers. I was thinking of something akin to tuns that can store them to be brought adding non-decay to the stencils. Please discuss.

Could be worse. Their last one could have gone to Aetolia.

Re: New Class and Knight/Chivalry Changes
Unshackled power fills your every limb as you reach for that which is around and yet Beyond, the might with which to rend Creation's very laws, and take of it into yourself. Take it for your own. Your flesh melts and warps, your bones crack and reshape, and with a triumphant howl you at last turn your indelible wrath upon your victim as your countless limbs descend upon him in a frenzy of ruin made real, leaving you a mere passenger in your own mind as the abomination you are takes its fill.
You have slain Lerin.
An unearthly howl tears through the cosmos as Lerin is ripped apart in a surge of chaotic force.
Okay this kill is fucking hot. I like the old pit deathsight being used.

Re: What Happened To You Today?
Today has been great, start to finish. I went hunting to raise a shrine, managed to kill @Atalkez when he jumped me for being Infamous, then had a fun cat & mouse back and forth across all of Meropis with him until I was almost out of willpower and -just- managed to dragonform & gare back to Ashtan.
Then took down Yudhishthira in a massive group of Ashtani. I died, but it was an awesome team effort.
Today also marks the culmination of a lot of work. Held a ritual to restore the Eschaton, got sucked back in time to visit the (now destroyed) Occultist estate I haven’t seen in more than a real decade, one room of which I designed. Rescued a House denizen and tied up a storyline with Dagon and his daughter that’s been waiting in the wings forever. Watching the unexpected ramifications of paradox and seeing Ashtan marshal together while we tended to things in the past.
Successfully completed the ritual when we returned to the present, fixing the Eschaton and in so doing unveiling a new Chaos class. (Definitely not Chaos Knights, @Nicola. Definitely not.) The flavor of which is just...impeccable.
All in all, an excellent day in Achaea.

Re: PK Updates: Announce #5364
now hold on a minute
both are poorly planned with long-term unforeseen consequences, both are expensive and only serve to make a privately owned company wealthy, and trying to describe the minutiae of either to a layperson gets you funny stares and a sudden wealth of personal space

And I just learnt you don't need to supply a direction to shoot/snipe anymore, though you do if you want to aim.
Re: OOC Raves
This is part rant, but mostly rave.
Since my teenage years I have suffered daily headaches, natural & bright light sensitivity, extreme motion sickness while being a passenger in a vehicle, horrible neck & shoulder pain, anxiety when in large stores, and an almost constant feeling of nausea. These symptoms have gotten progressively worse, and in my early 20s I started to get migraines - once a year at first, then a couple times a year, progressing to one every two weeks.
My parents didn't have the money to ever take me to a doctor so I just kind of put up with the symptoms. It wasn't until I was about 25 that I could afford to see a doctor about it, but by then the symptoms were just a part of my life and I didn't realize how bad it had gotten because it slowly progressed instead of coming all at once. The doctor had me try dietary restrictions for the migraines - cutting out alcohol (especially wine) helped a lot, but at that time I didn't know to talk about my other health problems, I was focused on fixing the migraines.
Fast forward 10 years to the end of August. I was reading a Reddit thread about ADHD (something else I suffer from) and there was a comment from someone who has ADHD but also got migraines, light sensitivity, and he just listed off every single health problem I've had since those teenage years. His comment included his diagnosis, which was binocular vision dysfunction. I started looking into it, and it fit me perfectly. I couldn't believe it - I told myself there was no way this was my problem, that it fit too perfectly, it was too simple, and a lot of other things.
Then I scheduled an appointment with a neurological vision specialist, and that appointment was yesterday. I have been officially diagnosed with BVD and have special prism lenses being made that I'll have in about a week.
The visit took about 4 hours and they ran me through about a dozen different machines and tests. The doctor explained that my version is a verticle problem but some people have horizontal problems. Basically my eyes are slightly misaligned and don't send one clear image to my brain. They send slightly different images, which the brain tries to correct
About halfway through they put prism glasses on me and let me get used to them.
Within 5-10 minutes of the prism glasses my headache was gone, nausea was gone, neck pain half gone, and I didn't feel motion sick. My life is changed forever and I am raging internally at all of the doctors I saw who never noticed this, or even thought to check for it. Twice yearly eye doctor visits from when I was about 8 until 33 and no one ever mentioned it. I got Lasik done two years ago, they didn't notice or mention it. My doctor when I was a kid never mentioned it. My parents told me I was lying and didn't believe me. My whole life has been extremely negatively impacted by this in ways I can't even imagine. It's ruined friendships when I had to flake due to feeling sick, getting a ride to a party/group event from someone and getting sick on the way there and having to go home, dozens and dozens and dozens of missed days at school or work. Relationships ruined because I eventually lost confidence in going out and doing activities because half the time I'd get sick on the way there, which eventually turned into anxiety which made me feel MORE sick every time, to the point that I drifted apart from all my friends as well.
This time next week I'll have my new glasses, and my life will slowly go back to normal. I'll be able to read books, ride in vehicles, play sports, make plans, and so much more without having to worry. It feels like I'm going to have a new life and I'm so excited for it.

Re: New World
What a noob. I've been having a good amount of fun playing so far. I'm on US East Loloi with Mishgul, Syndicate faction. For the time being the factions seem pretty balanced on the server and the queue times aren't too bad. Free server transfers and more servers should solving a lot of the queue issues, both of which they have committed to do. Hope everyone else is enjoying it.
