Quick Questions

Thanks, wanted to garner public opinion

@Tecton‌I'd be interested in seeing a current population chart regarding classes if you are still able to show those... I found one from over a year ago, but recently there has been a lot of new players, more than it seemed like there were a few months ago. The charts only show people level 21 and up as well I think? 

It'd be interesting to check that out, especially what races are most played now versus back when the races were imbalanced to Hell.

Tecton

Sure - here's the race/class breakdown (non-newbies from the last 30 days)

 Occultist: 4.5%
 Monk: 10.8%
 Druid: 7.7%
 Serpent: 13.5%
 Paladin 3.1%
 Priest: 5.3%
 Sentinel 4.0%
 Infernal 1.9%
 Magi 8.4%
 Shaman 2.3%
 Runewarden 10.5%
 Jester 3.3%
 Apostate 2.2%
 Sylvan 7.5%
 Bard 3.7%
 Blademaster 6.9%
 Alchemist 4.4%


 Human: 17.1%
 Dwarf: 9.4%
 Tsol'aa: 8.2%
 Mhun: 5.5%
 Troll: 4.4%
 Rajamala: 11.3%
 Atavian: 14.4%
 Xoran: 5.8%
 Grook: 5.6%
 Horkval: 6.1%
 Satyr: 3.2%
 Siren: 8.3%

It's cool that Humans are actually the most populous race. Almost every RPG I've played has had that problem, and Achaea used to, where Humans are always flavored as the most populous, but no one every plays one.

Stuneree

@Tecton‌ Appreciated, thanks! I didn't expect some of those numbers. Do you have any idea how many monthly unique players Achaea has? 

@Aerek‌ Human and Atavian it seems. I completely understand that it's a lot easier to design the appearance of something you're used to OOC, and RP as a similar race.

I'm kind of surprised that Satyr is so low though, aside from the male-only part.

I expected Monk to be top and then Serpent, but it seems that the popular/least popular standings are still pretty static for classes.

Ayella

I'm a bit curious- I was talking with one of my friends over tells and managed to determine that she hadn't bought any credits/ lesson packages and was around 5 levels lower than me, as well as the same class, but was 180% my might? Hum. How does the might system work, anywho?

Sena

I'm pretty sure might is simply a comparison between lessons spent (not counting lessons that were spent and then lost, like if you changed class after embracing).

I don't know how someone 5 levels lower would be 180% of your might without buying credits/lessons though, unless you've changed class a couple times, used your levelling credits on something other than lessons, or still have unspent lessons/credits.

All lessons aren't equal though - earlier lessons are worth more than later lessons in skills for might, I think. It might also be possible if you just have one Trans skill and they've divided their lessons out to a bunch of different skills? Still seems like a big difference though.

Arador

All lessons are of equal worth for might. What you are seeing is just a trick based on the relative totals as the numbers get higher.

Kadin raises his hand in greeting to Earionduil and says "Hi!"

 

Kayeil asks Earionduil in a silvery, elegant voice, "Can we help you?"

 

(Party): Kadin says, "He's here to start conflict. Let him do his thing."

 

(Party): Kadin says, "I'll get him shrubbed gain."

 

Earionduil says, "Just seeing if your kind had gathered any courage in my absense. I see not."

 

Kadin attempts to stifle his amusement but cannot help laughing aloud.

 

Kayeil says in a silvery, elegant voice, "Oh."

 

Earionduil says, "Not a surprise."

 

Kadin asks Earionduil, "Our kind. You mean non shrubs?"

 

(Party) Kadin says, "Lolol."

 

Earionduil says to Kadin, "Careful, one might take offense at that."

 

Kayeil says in a silvery, elegant voice, "No point sitting down and taking a death when I'm a non-

com, so sorry to disappoint."

 

Kadin says, "Oh god not."

 

Kadin says, "No."

 

Kadin says, "Please dont."

 

Kadin says, "Please dont take offense."

 

Earionduil says, "Then depart my presence."

 

Earionduil says, "Like the coward you are."

 

Kadin says, "No thank you."

 

Earionduil vigorously spins a pyramid carved of crystal, and it begins to hover in the air.

 

Earionduil makes a forceful gesture and some crystals embed themselves into the ground.

 

Kayeil says in a silvery, elegant voice, "Pretty sure we were here first."

 

A chorus of vibrating tones can be heard.

 

Kadin says, "Shrubbed again eh."

 

(Party): Kadin says, "Run."

 

Kayeil leaps majestically to the south.

 

(Party): Kadin says, "As soon as he attack me Im going to earring."

 

(Party): Kadin says, "And issue."

 

Kadin romps playfully about the room.

 

Kadin has been slain by Earionduil.

(not my log)
So this is what combat is like in Achaea? How fantastic.

Kadin

Funny enough I knew he was going to attack me. I found it hilarious he chased me out of Annwyn. Also I'm 99.9% sure the OP of the above log is Eari as I posted a log in my issue. With PT's. Its okay buddy. I just think its sad that you we're that predictable. I was honestly hoping that you weren't there to cause conflict. Sadly within 20 seconds I realized you were. I felt no need to leave Delos because you asked me to. I shouldn't have to. You came there after I had left Annwyn. So yeah, I was going to issue you if you attacked me. And you did. You deserve to be permashrubbed. After all these issues against you I can't believe IRE hasn't thought "Hey maybe in one of his replies to these issues is a lie". ^Also what I think is funny is that I never said shrubbed again eh because I couldn't speak due to vibes. Nice try eari.

Kayeil

I don't think we're supposed to be talking about issues, but how very convenient to leave out the fact that perhaps Earionduil broke one of the few written PK rules, which is why Kadin was upset when Earionduil proceeded to break a certain rule, then came to kick us out of Delos like he owns it. 

Kadin

Oh no lets not talk about a problem with Achaea. God forbid we do that.... people might start thinking the rules are enforced and what not.

Nellaundra

If you try to bait someone to attack you for an issue, you're p. much shit. hth

Cynlael

TIL I'm Earionduil.

PS. You seriously are bloody deluded if you think he had no reason to attack you, your words alone are blatantly taunting him. What the hell were you expecting to happen. Also lol @ issuing over a single death. Go and eat some kelp to cure that sensitivity mate.

Kadin

I wasn't trying to "bait" him. I knew he was going to attack me and I wasn't going to leave Delos because he asked. Thats not baiting. I mentioned over pt that I was going to issue if he attacked me for not leaving Delos. 

Nellaundra

If someone's being a big enough dick vocally, I am going to BBT them. If you're blatantly taunting and being a shit, don't be surprised if you get said shit knocked through your face and out the other side of your head.

Kadin

He had no reason to attack me. Because I wouldn't leave Delos? How was I taunting him? By stating obvious facts or by you being ignorant. Please do share.

Cynlael

Full log. Nice earring alias btw lol.

PS. What you were 'trying' to do, and what you -actually- did are two completely different things. Contact your local herbalist for some kelp, or aurum if you prefer rocks.

edit: "Hey maybe in one of his replies to these issues is a lie". - Lol at this. They can check logs themselves without needing your help.

Kadin

Also that is only half the log. funny enough its missing tons of crucial information. 

Kadin

Thanks for at least posting the full log. Funny enough that log was only posted in my issue and you posted it here. Also breaking another rule. We're on a roll today. Lets not forget the fact you had came there after Annwyn. 

Kayeil

Again, this started in Annwyn. We were hunting Sidhe, caught Earionduil on mindnet, and promptly left as we were not seeking any sort of conflict with him. He proceeded to leave Annwyn, and located us in Delos to start taunting us first, calling us cowards, and was also clearly looking to bait for conflict.

I don't know how many times I have to quote this, or how many times the Garden has to comment on this, but...

There exist a few locations in the multiverse so inherently dangerous that they have earned the designation of "Treacherous Plane." Simply being on one of these planes puts you at risk of being attacked by anyone, for any reason - or no reason at all. Once you leave the lawlessness of those planes, you may not seek retribution for what happened there. The following planes fall into this category:
- The Underworld
- Annwyn
- Nishnatoba

We left, didn't want conflict, he comes to seek it. I can't really blame Kadin for being irritated about Earionduil trying to behave as if demanding we leave Delos is totally cool and within his power.

Cynlael

Paging @Strata to hand out some victim cards.

Full log, btw. The same one you provided.

PS, no rules were broken by Earionduil. He came to start conflict with you after leaving Annwyn (he didn't attack you after coming to you guys), and you guys played right into it. You could've just said 'nope' and left, but you decided to be a dick instead.

Edit for above post: He didn't come to seek retribution, he came to start a completely new conflict. There's no rule against that, mate. Kadin decided to taunt him instead, and got his ass handed to him for it. He also didn't demand you leave Delos, he told you to leave his presence.

PPS. I'm not Earionduil, lol. Please stop trying to alt-speculate.  

Kadin

Then you magically got a hold of a log only posted in an issue. Sure sure.

Kayeil

I think if we were originally interested in conflict we wouldn't have left Annwyn in the first place. Not sure why it's cool for Eari to demand Kadin leave Delos when Eari came to Kadin first, not the other way around, and then starts spinning crystals because he doesn't want to leave.

Regardless, this is the Questions thread. Not a rant or combat thread. Still not interested in conflict, as we weren't the first to bring this to the forums to begin with.

Tesha

You two are crazy.

Cynlael

1) Too much salt for one page.
2) Logs can be obtained in other ways. Like googling when your rage is being lol'd about over Skype.
3) Please learn to read, so I don't have to repeat myself in multiple posts.

Kadin

1. Please learn to read forum rules.

2. I claim to be top tier combatant yet all I see is you saying how bad I am with no offer to duel.

3. Who are you again?

Cynlael

Lol.
