  • @Aerek I bet I could fold it into a vaguely cravatish shape.
  • @Vayne @Mishgul @Sherazad (And of course, my house!)
    For making my time in Achaea totally fun. Keeping me on my toes, and Koyuki endlessly busy!<3

    When I saw your name as the most recent poster in this, I thought it was going to be because you finally hit that cerberus!

    EDIT: GUYS GUYS! *Excited* This is totally the furthest I've ever made it on an account, thanks soooo much for your support and teasings! 
    I know this feeling well, as this is roughly my third try at Achaea over an 8 RL year period, and the first time I ever made it out of novicedom. Props to the Sylvan house and to the rest of the people (you know who you are) who have made this time around worth staying for.

    I like the enthusiasm of this Naga. I feel like she'll make an interesting assassin one day. Like...what was it, the Sorrowful Men, who would kill you and then whisper, "I'm sorry" into your ear as you died.

    Nono, if I did that in real life, I would start sobbing over their dead body and beg for forgiveness, and continue to shake their dead corpse until they forgave me. (Lol, flashback of that movie, The Dictator)

    Koyuki is a badass(?), she already swore in Suffering and the blood she would shed through her training, that she will surpass @Vayne which caused some interesting RP! :P

    EDIT: Typos
  • I decided against pointing that out. It's ok though, I believe Hashan has mistaken Alexius for being a girl during raids once or twice.

  • JonathinJonathin Retired in a hole.
    Alexius.
    That's my rave.
    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

  • Teaching a novice how to make basic aliases and macros in mudlet yay. Now hopefully he will not die anymore. He was manualing his combos :S not even using kill command
  • @Sherazad You and Shadizar. I got you both confused for the loooooongest time. I was like wait. I thought she was mhaldorian. HOW IS SHE CYRENIAN AND A GUY NOW!!!
    Commission List: Aesi, Kenway, Shimi, Kythra, Trey, Sholen .... 5/5 CLOSED
    I will not draw them in the order that they are requested... rather in the order that I get inspiration/artist block.

    Katz has had two Grunts call her Sir now. One even did it twice - I corrected her, then she said it again half an hour later. D: Really don't think she's all that manly!


                   Honourable, knight eternal,

                                            Darkly evil, cruel infernal.

                                                                     Necromanctic to the core,

                                                                                             Dance with death forever more.

    @Vayne, for funding my subterfuge lessons!

    You're welcome, though Selind still claims it was his.

    It actually was mine. I had roughly 60k gold and didn't pack it after buying mushrooms. Then you messaged me about it and I said actually you have my gold then you just.... Ignored it. Shame because it took a while to bash that up! Oh well.

    Public News #19203 just made my day.

    It is not uncommon for women in position to be called Sir here.

    ANNOUNCE NEWS #3808

    From: Tecton, the Terraformer
    To  : Everyone
    Subj: Class ranks

    As we continue to streamline and improve the experience for new
    adventurers, we found that the time-based restrictions imposed upon
    increasing your class rank were not really that fun (and in some cases,
    somewhat confusing), so they're gone!

    The progression is as follows:
    Fledgling      - 2 class skills, "Skilled" max. skill rank.

    Journey(wo)man - 2 class skills, "Fabled" max. skill rank.
                   - Obtained at level 20.

    Full member    - 3 class skills, no max. skill rank.
                   - Obtained at level 50.
                            -OR-
                   - Obtained at level 30 if you're in a house
                     and have reached house rank 2.

    Penned by My hand on the 7th of Glacian, in the year 621 AF.
    I think this might be a bit too much a change in the direction of convenience. Yes, time requirements could be tedious, but level 50 is easy to reach and only depends on doing a single thing over and over. I think there still should be a time requirement for becoming full member if you're not in a house. Otherwise, level 50 seems much more inviting than level 30 and HR 2, to most people.

    The time requirements acted as encouragement to try out different aspects of the game, rather than just bashing 24/7, which was a good thing. Reducing it to only level requirements encourages a more single-player play style.
  • Nothing wrong with Houses doing an actual active effort to promote joining them. I believe Vayne is doing such a thing with serpents. Seems to me the retention that way would be better than a novice joining an House at random because of a static description of it, in any case.

    Either way, the removal of the time limit for journeyman is a very good thing. Being forced to use, say, stone punch instead of firelash and a standard slash instead of a dual one for the first 20 hours no matter what when reaching those points naturally would be much faster always seemed terribly arbitrary to me while providing very little positive to the experience.

    I don't mind the change to journeyman, I'm only not so fond of the one to full member.

    As I see it, things like this actually help alts more than genuinely new players.

    I've had no less than 8 novices and 3 randoms call Wysteria "Sir" which is something I will never understand. Apparently being in Viridian confuses them because a walking tree as part of the LOOK appearance = must be a bloke. That and the other person was Soshica — and he/she/it doesn't count.

     Losing their light in the glorious sun,

     Only remembered for what we have done."
