The things you miss
Basically what the title says. People, events, rewards, whatever.
The things I miss most, I think, are the weakenings that happened before 'aetherflares' bleh and after aetherships were introduced. It was so badass to take your ship (And ride in it obviously) and invade other place's nexus worlds. Even if you had zero in aethercraft it still let you help in a good way, and defending was pretty great too. Repelling borders! Marvellous. Then you had the construct via construct battles which just plain -rocked-. People going inside constructs like they were giant mechas and maneuvering them against another org's mecha construct. Now, we get aetherflares which are dumb.
There is also the past thing of there being able to have multiple constructs on a bubble (the nexus world). this meant that whether you were a warrior, monk or bard you could till go defend the Cosmic and Elemental planes by just popping into the nexus world and touching the respective constructs. I will concede though that it is pretty nice to have some easy ways of getting to aetherbubbles though.
It's also sad how you don't get credits for mothers day, father's day, lovelorn events and similar. Now you get curio. DAMN YOU CURIO, DAMN YOU TO HELL! I WANT CREDITS BACK TO 4k per -sob-

The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
When I started playing IRE games, credits were 2.5k each.
I miss @Fain, @Nariah, @Sthai, @Rattusk, @Morvior (even though he occasionally checks in), @Feyrll @Bhairan
I also miss @Lyreth, @Nezha, and @Raflein.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
If you look at the list and consider where/when all of them are you might be able to tell who my three major characters have been!
It's probably the nostalgia talking, but it seems like the RP atmosphere peaked around 2009 or so. At least in mag, where I was playing at the time. The forums seemed a lot more lively then as well, but I know that I'm quite susceptible to the rosy tint of nostalgia goggles.
Also I miss the old website. O how I miss it.
And what happened to Phoebus?
Things I don't miss: Nienla
"THE DEMON LORDS CAN NEVER TRULY BE KILLED - GREAT IS THEIR POWER."
You shock a platinum-coloured geomycus with tales of terror bestowed on villages who don't follow Magnagora.
A platinum-coloured geomycus slaps her knee and declares that, by the gods, Ptoma Hive should follow the Grand Empire of Magnagora after all!
Shouts rise up from Ptoma Hive, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Grand Empire of Magnagora.
Also, after reading this thread and just looking back on things, I miss being a novice. Learning about the basics of Lusternia's history, the combat system, and the geography was really, really fun. I distinctly remember joining a wargames and I (a level 60 something Celestine that didn't have one skill transed) tried to kill @Sidd by putting him to sleep and after I lost (duh) my analysis of the situation was something along the lines of "Oh, you had kafe up. If you didn't, I would have been able to put you to sleep after I stripped insomnia!"
Arel, Vionne and Aranya.. probably a few more than I can't remember right now.
Also, lack of rants thread, I miss you so! I know we have this silly FB group but having to log on to FB everytime I want to call someone a turd just takes all the fun out of it!
And PK, yes, I miss PK. I miss when people actually raided and I didn't have to wait till someone upgraded a Domoth to get my fill of conflict.

We must make a journey around the world

Iasmos: Because he's Maja's mentor and while he's a hardass on me, I totally deserve it.
Alianna as well for the things Rivius said.
Aesyra: Because she gave me my first taste of being in an Order, and while that ended very poorly thanks to Dylara (whom I DO NOT miss
Nejii: Because even if he doesn't remember, I've known him since he was a novice in the Moondancers and I watched him grow to overtake my position and excel at it much more than I did before moving over to Glomdoring when it came out. And then further after that while I was playing Maja because he's a cool guy.
Sojiro (so the Seren only version of Shuyin
Azalya: Mom
Probably all for now.
