Achaean Raves

This Survival change is excellent. I'm really pleased that the Admin have taken on board, again, what the player base is saying and used that in their thought process. This is one of those changes that makes zero difference to me personally (1700 lessons means nothing at Full Trans and certainly isn't enough to get a 3rd class) but the impact on the game on the whole and to the newbie experience will be significant and that is a good thing for everybody. Easier entry into combat both skill and health wise will allow us to have newbies being able to get into the game faster, but more "useful" in raids and combat and generally make them feel less stranded when first starting out.

Bravo @Makarios and @Nicola

Need another trade skill to spend these 4k on. Give us wood chopping, I’d happily go to town on Eleusis with an axe.

You could make totems out of the Sylvans

Awesome change!  Any chance we can have lesson gambling?  Papa needs a new class.

Antonius

They took out lesson gambling for a reason.

You could always start investing in another class >_> Just for the hell of it.

Huge rave for the latest changes, especially in regards to Survival and the lesson refunds.

We did it, reddit

The only other class I’d really want to be is sylvan which I can’t do in Ashtan.

Kyrra’s been runewarden forever and I struggle with anything else making sense for her to be.

I guess Magi could be close on flavour and I can switch my ocd nature toward pearling. Meh though.

I still need another 100000 room credits to finish the house in the Tundra, I want to colldct the wood myself and not be stuck waiting go buy a limited amount from the CM and villages every day.

Magi, Runie, Sylvan...  sounds like you know where you need to move to.  Just sayin'  :-)

Seraphos's flesh burns away and he is blinded as his eyeballs melt and run down his face. In the

instant before his entire being is consumed by the inferno, you are able to see his skeleton, burned 

clean of flesh and organs. Then, he is no more.

A starburst tattoo flares and bathes Seraphos in red light.

Sounds like Mhaldor

Can't tell because of lack of proper timestamps, but I assume that "Congratulations" is a trigger?

It wasn't a trigger, it was good sportsmanship! Unless Tarvius had some serious lag due to the fighting.

I've seen quite a few people with triggers like that, most of them lived in Cyrene, so seemed like a reasonable guess.

Don't forget Miriew shaking his ass and congratulating people when they level up...

Jiraishin

My Serpent babies are growing up! A few drifted off, as is unfortunately inevitable, but yesterday I was in arena giving one of them hands-on sniping practice while simultaneously explaining to another via message the things you can and can't do phased.

Mathilda

I love @Miriew's congratulations.

Holstein

Some props to @Syndra for doing such an awesome job leading all the PvP. We are winning some, losing some, but having a blast doing it! It's gotta be stressful organizing and leading it all so often, but you are doing amazing.

[Deleted User]

LIKES AND STUFF ARE SHOWING AGAIN @Vika OMG.

Davok

I'm liking this newer, feistier Hashan. Whatever is going on in there, keep it up.

Holstein

G fkin G Hashan, y'all gave us a heck of a fight. Good to see y'all gettin' after it. @Cyro @Caetano @Zekeros @Lupinox @Aduan and any others I missed.

Sobriquet

There is a desire to improve and has been some chatter IG about how we do that. Losing people like Kasa has hurt, Regi isn't around as much and neither is Vender. With a large number of new players and losing ecperienced ones we've pretty much gone back to square one. We've been raided on a daily basis recently, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, but it does help people learn. I just hope it doesn't cause burn out.

I've still missed every single one due to it being at 3-6am so I genuinely have zero idea on how we are doing. 

I've just been picking off the bounties instead.

When I was a 20 year old Eleusian, Jhui and a few other big names left the city for Ashtan. It's because of that void that I felt the opportunity, or the need, to step up and dip my toes into leading defenses and later raids. It's what attracted, I believe, players like Iakimen and Rom. 

In short, it's a time for the younger characters to step up, and the leaders to encourage and support them. You may find yourself a stronger org than you were before if you do!

Armali

And then you all quit and joined Mhaldor and Ashtan.

When I defected, Eleusis was top dog and Mhaldor was struggling (as Hasar and Xer had all but vanished). And in our absence, there are guys in Eleusis rising up again. No org stays at the top the entire time, not Mhaldor and not Ashtan or Targossas. It will always come and go, and the people who love being on the underdog's team will keep swapping. Not that that was my reason to defect.

Dalok

Want to shout out to whoever came up with the ghost story for Cyrene. It had me pretty engaged in the lead up and I thought the mafia game with clue deaths was pretty funny. 

Sobriquet

Hashan have completed 23 bounties in the past 10 days. Pretty sure that must be some kind of record for us. it's not just myself or Vender taking them, either, I've been really impressed with those such as Zekeros and Zoktos who are just getting into PvP that have stepped up and tried too.

Keep raiding, folks*



*until we bitch and moan we've had enough, of course
