  • He was a leader. And raised on the merits of his RP strength alone. Nejii was an RP god.

    That's exactly my point. Both skills used to be extremely important, to varying, but equal, degrees. 

    EDIT: The …
  • AFAIR, the "combat is the only reason to raise VA" came about only after the changes to the power costs for doing so were even implemented. I distinctly remember a huge bitchfest about "bye RP Vernals". I'm only familiar with Serenwilde's examples, …
  • @Saran Do you remember Nejii?
  • I'm very possibly waxing romantic. I'm definitely the nostalgic type.

    But I think, even so, there is definitely a huge, fundamental difference between then and now in how we raised Vernals (i.e. how we rewarded people within our…
  • One attempt at other words: Sojiro once wasn't just a warrior. He was a hero. That's much more than we seem to think of our combatants these days.

    For me, this is difficult to describe objectively, though I definitely feel it's true. It was more than raiding supernals, or raiding anything, really. We honoured our warriors. It was intrinsically tied to our RP. We…
  • Both RP and PK really were more rewarding, back in the day. Is there a way to return to that, or are we stuck whatever kind of limbo is going on right now?
  • I hope it's not frustrating for you when random allies stomp your toads. :D

    Actually stomping toads was one of th…

    I do understand this sentiment. I was there for Bitterwilde, when we were getting raided hourly. No matter what we tried to do, we were raided. We were trying to make plays, to have it disrupted by another stupid, poi…
  • One of my earliest defining moments in Lusternia was getting ganked in Prime Serenwilde. I was just sitting on the beach, and I was suddenly dead. I was a novice, just trying to read my scrolls, and thinking on the nature of life, or whatever. Then …
  • (Quote) I agree. We should totally bring back RP Vernals.
  • Maybe we need a new thread for this. There definitely is plenty of discussion to be had.

    EDIT: The "mutually exclusive" thing was in reference to the "nature of the game" Celina mentioned. They used to be equally the nature of t…
  • (Quote) To be fair, I do ask a lot of questions, while offering nothing in return. My character is kind of suspicious to begin with.
  • There was a time when RP and conflict weren't mutually exclusive. :(
  • I do need to throw more bones at you, that makes sense.

    Who says I can't try to extract information from my friends, though? I actually like that dynamic. in Today I learned (TIL) Comment by Riluna September 2015
  • Maybe you're supposed to yell "infidel" or "heretic" or something before murdering your enemies?
  • TIL Inter-org RPs are still super hard. Maybe I'm just not approaching this right. :/
  • That's a noble sentiment, and I already do. It's less helpful in my case because I'm not willing to AFK until somebody bites (I really can't bash/influence anymore. I've tried). That would make me feel like a part of the problem.

  • The following players are currently seeking roleplay interaction:
    No one right now.

    Let me know if you find a way out of that. I feel kind of similarly.

    I want to play too, but there's a lot of Lusty I just can't find the will to do much of it anymore but RP with people. An…
  • Where can I still donate to Vadi for this if I feel like it, because I feel like Vadi deserves it, is amazing for Lusternia, and maybe definitely deserves it?

  • 152. Paragraph-emote at all the people, because you dearly miss when that was a normal thing.
  • I've never been one to get emotional about e-family stuff, but...

    I CAN SEE MY E-DAUGHTER AGAIN!

  • BUY <some> PRESENTS FOR <cool people>.

    You can't buy them for yourself. No idea what the individual gold cost should/would be. But certain thresholds of "altruism" do reward the buyer with to-be-determined Shiny Thin…
  • Lusternia's monetary cost is and always has been very high relative to any other game I've seen, even when paying cash. The more unrealistic and unattainable it seems the "free" alternative is, the fewer people we have sticking around to discover wh…
  • 35. Lurk endlessly, while contributing absolutely nothing.
  • What the heck is with all the "senpai" lately? What does it even mean?
  • You cannot use experience to buy things.  You can use essence to buy things.

    Experience levels you up.  Essence does not.

    Last thing, I guess, is that this is entirely a difference of semantics, and that's it. They're…

  • The administration have stated that the entire point of the extra essence loss is entirely due to deterring raiding.  It has nothing to do with being an essence sink.  You are the only one who seems to think it does, and you are basing your en…
