I'm so proud of you, as I always have been. Whether it's eking out a few villages and bubbles here and there to the ultimate Borg conquering spree, you never let me down. I'm not super old, but I've been through Hallifax during its lows (being alone in the city during primetime) and its highs, but never have I experienced so many competent people working together and just being around to help out.
Some people like to demean you by calling you mindless zerg or having no opposition, but from all the reforms I've seen and the gradual attitude change, I know it's so much more than that. We've come a long way from having to piggyback on other orgs. I want Hallifax to remember this time fondly and preserve it for as long as it can, and to remember it if times get low.
So, raves for the Beacon of Harmony, the City of Two Lovers, They-Who-Have-Civil-Custody-of-My-Heart.
Drocilla is a very busy woman and she hasn't got all day. It won't cost much, just your life voice.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
So Magnagora is deciding to make a treaty with Glom again. ROFL
Good job Arcanis. All those votes* for the incompetent leader were so consequential.

Edit: Hi Drocilla Welcome Back!
I just want to say how much I appreciate that Zvoltz has taken over forum duties in the absence of others. He actually strives to be impartial. What an amazing concept!

2015/11/14 07:20:36 - The House's eyes are raised as its honour improves: Shonjir's gunning skills are considered without question amongst even the gnomes.
Out of all the various times I appear in logs, this one amuses me the most after the fiasco that was Mucklemarsh today with @Tekora@Aeden@Saleo and @Ayisdra
Get there, we launch the ships, and I forgot I lost bombard when my truefavour ran out, and also lost broadcast so communication was through messages. Had to dock. Managed to learn the lessons, but failed with my first set and learned planar instead of aethercraft. Go me! Managed to then get on another turret and start my bombard. Then I stopped the bombard fairly close to completion because I misunderstood a set of instructions.. but we still managed to get the bubble and chase off a ship that snuck in at the last minute.
So yes. Rave for the team and my gnome-worthy gunning skills
A new dawn arises as you begin your duties as Seneschal of the Rule. In a glorious blaze, the Ledger of Guarded Secrets appears above your head and descends into your hands.
@Athree. Everytime I see him I wish he were around more often.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
You have completed the Lord of the Transphenortex Grid quest! You have gained a new honour! The Quintessential Mandala of Resplendent Harmony materialises in your hands.
Glomdoring's (and Serenwilde's, for that matter) isn't really that hard. The biggest restriction is the time (New Moon and Full Moon, respectively). The city epics are much more grindy, but you can reasonably do it constantly (if you want to go crazy, or something).
For example, with Gaudiguch, you can get a prophecy every 7-8 hours, which is around 35-40 hours for all 5 lines. It only takes around 10-15 minutes of work per hour, though, mostly it's just waiting around for things to respawn. For the communes, you're locked into 1 prophecy for every 32 hours, with around an hour or so of work for preparation (using the nai'Dorin component as an estimate, here).
Still, I think the hardest epics are Celest and Magnagora, what with the Sea Battle component (and all related sub-quests like the Cay). For Gaudiguch and Hallifax, the sticky point is mainly the Hand quest (and there's no actual benefit to stalling each other here -- there can only ever be one Statue of Tzaraziko, and in general, whoever starts building first finishes first. It's in everyone's best interests to help each other along and move on to the next person on the queue).
EDIT: A new moon -just- passed, I hope you used it wisely!
EDIT2: (actual rave) Grinding hard for culture. Goals are not to be bottom 2, and to have most visitors (bards and scholars). #smallvictories #justgaudiguchthings
@Eodh welll, filling the cauldron takes a lot longer(you need multiple respawns), but that can be done well before(plus a lot of people do it for easy karma, and newbies do it for some easy-ish XP).
After a long, grueling day where I got called in early to be ready at 6am, log in and the first thing I read is changelog 514. >-

The specific time window requirement is the only reason I've never gotten the dae'Seren, either. I never know if I'll be able to be around during the Full Moon.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
Last night I discovered that the Rune of Hiding can be attached to the Gloves of Concealment. Hurray for slightly less cluttered descriptions! Make something to hide artifacts too please! (And make sure it can be Rune-Hidden too!)
Cloak of shifting hues will hide all the things. But you can't have it hide just artifacts, sadly. Hey admins, can we have them match the gloves maybe? Filter by artifact and non artifact stuff?

It reads the same anyways.
Tonight amidst the mountaintops
And endless starless night
Singing how the wind was lost
Before an earthly flight
Like I fondly keep in mind, "The team makes the dream."

Got dang.
