The problem is there's no hard line where something becomes "terrible" over "not optimal." Frankly, a lucidian serenguard (I'm stealing examples from Hiriako's thing) is still going to be able to bash just fine for quite a while. They may not be abl…
I'm also coming at this from the perspective that, given the way this change was announced, it was intended to prevent the hazing that accompanies being a roleplay undesirable race. When you're still learning the game, most races are manageable, it'…

Yes, we should provide newbies with the ability to make informed decisions that will enhance their ability to enjoy playing lusternia. This is very important.
But claiming that we either do it this way, at the…

The problem is that the solution, as it is, affects not only true newbies, but anyone else, regardless of their range of experience, who is creating a new character. Someone who chooses a race for the rp of it shoul…
Okay, rereading things, and from the Book of Clangorum:
The Sixth and Seventh Circle discussed creating another collective
spirit of lesser spirits, only this one specifically made of the spirits
of the trees, in order to cre…
From what I understand, all the forests are anchored to the ethereal projection of the tree of trees. Jojobo was just the forest where it got tested. I'd thought that that was the role of the moonhart, ravenwood, and honeysap trees, but I just rerea…

I don't think this is unsurmountable. Humans are weird. People are briefly human after passing through the portal until their true race reasserts itself.
It sounds like there should be a way of distinguishing what races are encouraged/banned for rp reasons, and which ones are encouraged/discouraged for mechanical reasons.
I'd be uncomfortable with putting any other race as equally "encoura…
There are a lot of factors that contribute to org overall population. Time of year, and time of day can have a decent impact on the playerbase as a whole, and so if you only play sporadically for short periods of time, you may be attaching undue wei…

It's very much encouraged. I remember how intimidating it was to actually start trying to talk to the various people with big fancy titles who were guild leaders, etc. But a lot of people got into those positions because they en…
That goes for me as well. I tend to be around at odd and somewhat random times, but if you have questions about the symphonium/hallifax/what have you and can't catch me in person feel free to message me or write a letter.
Please come Symphonium! (but only if you wouldn't be intimidated by the fact that we really don't have very many people) It's such a lovely guild concept too. Writing lyrics isn't as hard as you may fear and people would be happy to help you. <…
Allyrianne has a great deal of respect for Vivet, although she wouldn't say that she knows her particularly well. She's particularly in awe of her vast knowledge of history and lore, and finds Vivet a good resource for all sorts of questions ranging…
I'm juggling several things in real life right now that mean I don't have the time/energy to long in for extended periods of time. Hopefully things'll be resolved soon. I have ideas! plans! Things to write!
I've run through this again, and I just wanted to say that I definitely like all the adjustments made to give more direction and make it clearer what needs to be accomplished before the guides poof on you.

I also got the homestead quest before graduating from the collegium. Reading the journal worked just fine for me. (despite having the journal long before "finding" it in the ruins) I think I technically did READ TOME, if that ma…
On your birthday, yes. But there's still a rather low chance of that happening before you get to explore Newton. It's not something that most true newbies will deal with.
I definitely had my journal before finding it in the ruins, because I accidentally gave it to one of the collegium people. I think it may have been in the backpack, although I don't remember exactly.
It is frustrating, I still doubletake when I walk by the Matrix and see two justicars, a maiden, a bird of paradise and a falcon standing around. (although Isune's order just got them relatively recently, so once the novelty's worn off, people may n…
I'd like to second(third? fourth?) the fact that it should be clearer what's optional, what's required, and what will make Clotho disappear when interacting with her, and later with Lachesis and Atropo…
Depending on what you mean by melee classes, you may want to consider thinking about other classes as well, as "ranged" classes don't really exist in Lusternia.
However if you prefer warrior roleplay to priestly roleplay, then those guild…
