    I wish more of Serenwilde embraced its darker side. It definitely has one, even if it's not as dark as Glom. I rave every single time I meet somebody who doesn't think we need to be happy bunny rainbow stuff. Even pixies can be snarky.

    So much this. This was my intention with haughty Elfen Llewell and then snarky badgerkin llewell, to try and be icy and angry towards outsiders. It just never caught on.

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.
  • Wait, you were Llewell, @Shaddus? I really loved Llewell.

    It's something I will be working towards, (not snarky, just... not fluffy, I guess) but I have the intention of developing as a character rather than just changing one day. Seren def gives people plenty of reasons to be darker and colder. I think perhaps some people just want to play that fluffy, sulky, child-like character so much that the atmosphere of the org will get ignored in favour of their own personal gratification. In many ways that's okay, you do you and all.

    My Celestine has been fairly interesting so far. I absolutely love some of the messages from pledging to Supernals. There's just so much role play potential behind that. I kind of wish I knew what the DL messages were like in terms of pacts/deepbonds by comparison. If anyone has those, I'd appreciate it so I can see what they're like. Even though I still really want to bash Celestia, I have less of a desire to do so now. The Supernals are pretty cool.

    Celest hasn't been bad either. Just wish you guys wouldn't lick each other at the Pool sometimes. :(
    Well, that even happens in Glom, sometimes....

    I feel like this is the reaction to pretty much all of his characters at some point or another, provided they last more than a week. Some of mine, too, but that won't stop me from retiring them if I'm able, because I don't play them anymore for a reason.

    Don't get me wrong. "Snark" definitely isn't the flavour of the org. (Looking forward to seeing what I can from your character, btw) What I mean is even from the brightest and playful of Fae, you can find some nasty things.

    EDIT: And that is what makes Seren effing amazing.

  • If Serenwilde can just fully embrace the whole 'forest of winter', bitter, pissed at everyone for screwing up royally during the Taint Wars attitude, they'd be in a far better place.

    Ithaqua from Imperian is how I wish, so desperately, that Serenwilde was. It's a bitter forest council in the tundra that practices cannibalism and makes weapons from the bones of their enemies. Ithaqua was hardcore. Serenwilde can be too, as part of the pieces are in place, but I think a few things hold it back.

    Serenwilde already has a lot of bitter, they are off to a great start.

    There's no need for this. Every org had its bitter periods, especially Gaudi at its start!

    Seren is doing well, lately. And that's very awesome.

  • It's okay. Just remind Shuyin that he died to Narsrim forcing him to choke and bard passives.

    I have nothing but positive memories of serenwilde. Talnaras remain one of my most favorite families ever. But still, it's not like the reputation didn't exist or anything. Nonetheless, it's not appropriate for raves.

    That's probably me, sorry about that... :(
    Not just you. It's a number of people doing it.

    It's hard to take Celest seriously as a bunch of crusaders and 'holier than thou' warriors when they're licking each other and romping. Bearing is important, at least in public places, especially when there are newbies about.
    That's fair. I guess I never put 1 and 1 together on the whole "licking" thing. Havastus used to do it, until he got yelled at by someone because they though he was hitting on them. I have him lick folks as he's Loboshigaru, and that's what most of the dogs that I've ever met do when they enjoy someone.

    However, I've since switched over to having Hava nuzzle if he's feeling affectionate or what-have-you. I guess that's a bit less inappropriate?

    A bit. Though I'm now reminded that I got my first in-game husband on my first character because I was curious about the PROWL emote, and emshow didn't exist at the time.

    That's sounds like Glomdoring.....

    Got to chat ic with @Thul. Was awesome, even if I was on my phone the whole time and distracted. Hopefully it'll be more than a one off thing.
