DW is easy mode..... Everyone in mhaldor is always asking about what class they should look into, and always decide on the most complex choices.... Proud of em! Only way to get good!
This might seem random, but with the 1-year anniversary of the Yggdrasil Project upcoming I just want to rave for all the work in the Elemental Planes.
All in all, they are some of my favourite areas in Achaea. The room descriptions are amazing, and convey such a primordial sense of awe, alongside the layouts that make each feel unique and distinct. Traversing the desert of Earth to find the small little encampents. The blighted wasteland of the Fire Plane that divides the equally treacherous volcanoes. Diving deep underwater to find the moving entrance to Alcazar in the Water Plane. I love it.
Not to mention the behaviour and descriptions of the lesser and greater elementals equally make them some of my favourite denizens in the game. (Even if Greater Earth Elementals are hellish to fight). This isn't even going into the awesome flavour of the Elemental Lord classes, and I cannot even imagine the amount of work put in to all the design.
I'm repeating myself a lot here, but I absolutely love this release and still find myself going up to the Elemental Planes to take everything in.
Rave to Hashan for being amazing the past few raids I've been apart of. Especially the group who was in the defence I lead (we actually won, which surprises me) @Cyro@Wicella@Chris@Zoktos
After dipping my toe, then entire foot, then leg to the knee, I've thrown myself fully into combat in the past few days, taking (and completing!) bounties, attacking people in Annwyn, etc. I'm really enjoying it, and am also grateful for all of the supportive messages and tells from people. You know who you are, thank you.
Tharos, the Announcer of Delos shouts, "It's near the end of the egghunt and I still haven't figured out how to pronounce Clean-dat-hoo."
My rave is the entire community. I started achaea for the first time when i was probably fifteen. I think I played for all of ten minutes. So confusing that first time starting it up. That was what eleven years ago now. sheesh im getting old. Like many I dismissed it right after starting my character. didnt go back until after my character had been auto deleted. Veraindimto I think it was. Ahh good times. Later at sixteen or seventeen I tried again. Not sure why. rolled another character as an occi and failed the old occie house exam like two days later. Back then you got cast out right after. Got thrown off a cliff or some shit. Went to Hashan an rerolled as a monk. didnt get serious until nineteen since I couldnt manage to get a curing system at the time. At nineteen I was already in the army and on a whim gave the game a real shot. Bought svo and enough credits to learn all my skills and started to learn combat. from there went to Ashtan from Hashan to learn from some other people who were considered good at combat. Got super addicted to getting my ass kicked. I remember me and Atalkez just going ham at NoT ten fifteen times a day. An those days were the only times I could consistently win against him. Heh, Next time we fought I was in Mhaldor as a serpent and he had just went to Targ. Not gonna lie I was legit upset about it at first. We fought and well Its Atalkez he shit on me after that. SnB op yo. Man I was in Mhaldor a long time. Miss you Mhaldor.
So much has happened an as I reflect on my experiences in the game, I can 100% say its my all time favorite game ever. Something special in Achaea. I think what has always drawn me back is the community and the combat. Yeah those are the best parts for me. Though I didnt set out with roleplay in mind my character grew and changed anyways. My fights became battles and the battles became wars. Through the clashing of pk I had stories that developed over time. Later all that effort presented the opportunity to share my knowledge to the newbie player base. I know a lot of seemingly random shit about achaea pk. It all developed and turned into yet another change in my character. I taught others things that I had already been taught that we all consider basic, But I remember what it was like being new to the combat scene and having your mind blown when someone tells you paralysis and slickness share the same herb cure. And what that means in the overall spectrum of combat vs different classes. It wasnt that long since I myself was a newbie hopeful looking to make it to the top in the combat scene. So more often than not I already have an idea of the mistakes said newbies might make. So its been fun there.
anywho, Many people are probably wondering what inspired me to do my raffle. An well honestly it was all of you. This community although just a game on the internet has always given me a place to go during hard times. It's players were there for me when I was hurt IRL with so much help and support. No other game could offer that I think. So I wanted to give back as I often do but without the road block of a combat style tourny. In this raffle it matters not how many credits you have, If you pk or rp as a focus, How many years you have played. Everyone who entered has the same chance to win. 1 in 170. Pretty good odds if you ask me. So thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Heres to ten more years of furious typing to all of you.
At about 7-10 Est A video link to the raffle will be posted here in raves for everyone to see the winner get drawn. I decided to record it so there was no doubt to the honesty of the draw. May lady luck be with you 170 possible lucky bastards.
Thousands of tiny iron rings link together in a flawless pattern of sturdy metal to form the fabric of this heavy giftbag, rattling together at every movement with a noise like falling rain. Skilfully applied colour flows across the face of the bag's surface, forming the carefully rendered shape of a tall, square iron tower with windows and a door that open ominously into an interior concealed by shadow. A thin cord of some surprisingly strong, obscure material forms a drawstring for the bag, ornate little tassels adorning its ends. It has 2 months of usefulness left. It weighs about 22 pounds. A heavy iron-link giftbag is holding: 462 gold sovereigns. It contains a total of 1 items of a max of 25.
@Sartan, the Malevolent says in Mhaldorian, "Present the beast I provided you."
An explosion of angry red flame rises from the ground, giving way to the unholy form of a stygian daemon jackal.
Dagger sharp teeth, the length of a toddler's forearm, protrude from an elongated maw drawing a stark contrast to the jackal's short stygian fur. Its wretched virescent eyes betray an unanticipated sentience for a creature of such infernal origin. Vermilion seams lace taut muscles, each smouldering with every breath this immense creature takes, while lambent emerald flame encircles each of the lupine daemons paws, causing it to hover above the ground.
A faint hint of worry in her eyes, Ysela looks curiously between a stygian daemon jackal and Sartan.
With a slight wave of His hand, a crimson light envelopes the jackal, twisting and contorting the beast until it shifts into a new form.
Rising fifteen hands in height, and sporting six monstrous legs, this infernal canine manifests as the epitome of nightmarish hallucinations. Long ears and medium length tenebrific fur covers the animal from snout to tail, offering a vision of elegant destruction. Vile, virescent eyes dart about its hideous head as it drinks in the surroundings, indicating a level of sentience not expected in such an ordinary beast. Vermilion strata lace taut muscles, each smouldering with restrained strength with every harsh breath the immense creature takes. Dagger sharp fangs the measure of a toddler's forearm protrude from its elongated maw, dripping putrid saliva onto the earth. Lambent emerald flame encircles the jackals many paws, wisps of vapour trailing from them as it hovers just above the ground.

Are you an asshole to people you’ve met in person, or just strangers on the internet?
Like seriously dude. You don’t post anything productive, positive, or even useful.

By the way when I mentioned the whole "life mission to post the most retarded shit" it was a rhetorical question, not a challenge.

Fucking rich.
Rave 2: Issuing myself to get arms revealed on that ancient sleeveless shirt design I mentioned on another thread really worked, yay
Rave 3: A newbie thought I was a newbie guide today after I helped him, which was oddly flattering.
Rave 4: I have my own shop again and some of the wares even sold
Seriously though, that coat is so cool.
