  • Nor do I understand why you're insisting that it's not even a part of it at all, when to me it just as obviously is. I've lost xp on every single death, ever. Whether raiding or not. Whether on the higher or lower ends of the penalty, there is alway…
  • And there was still a penalty (even if not as large) before the cost in enemy territory was increased to curb the raiding. Before excessive raiding was ever an issue in the first place, even.

    I don't claim it's the only essence sink, and there are no others. I simply disagree that it it's not an effective one, just because people don't like it (myself included). Have the admin ever said "the only reason for xp loss i…
  • It's been, for a long time, the only thing I spend essence on anymore, since I got all the powers I want/need. Just as you don't raid that often (so removing the defensive penalty is ineffective), so too do I not really ever buy/switch out powers. N…
  • I see it as an incentive, as well, so people are forced to be out and grinding that much more, thus raising Lusternia's activity levels that much more. If there is no cost to raiding outside of waiting a little while before you raid again, there's n…
  • I'm just playing devil's advocate, as I don't see the admin being too enthused. :) Also, I feel like pushing the cost up-front would…
  • Both we and the admin have put thought into new powers before, with lackluster results. There's several threads where we tried. Somehow I don't see powers coming even close to the same degree of a sink, especially when they are such a finite thing. …
  • If you simply remove the xp loss, going solely with a timer instead, that takes away the biggest essence sink in the game. What else would you spend it on? If the answer is nothing, I just don't see the admin getting on board with the idea at all.
  • Removing the essence loss on deaths would probably be a step in the direction toward reaching combat levels of years past, but I'm not sure what else you would be able to do to curb the Eternal Raid. The essence sink that death is right now could pr…

  • I've always been under the genuine impression they were supposed to be griefing skills, especially since they are so easy to use for what they do. For a long, long time they didn't even grant that tiny bit of experience.

  • Right, that's what I'm so used to doing, which is why I've forgotten.

    My rift is super full. I need kegs. :(
  • It's been so long since I've needed to, that I've actually completely forgotten how to refill a keg from a shop. Because REFILL <#> FROM <#> doesn't work. in Simple questions? Comment by Riluna April 2015
  • Today was a fantastic day in Lusternia, and seemingly out of nowhere! I started off melancholy, but managed to find some old-school RPs, random acts of kindness, system coding help (ugh coding), talks with some old and new friends, and all of it rou…

    It's not that you ask for money. I'm sure everybody understands that point. It's how and for what you ask money for, sometimes.

    This is just my opinion, and maybe not worth much.

    I do appreciate your thoughts! But for me, the feeling of investment isn't always so easy to dismiss. At the risk of sounding ranty, I personally feel like this isn't remotely the same game I played 8 years ago, and a most of th…
  • Have you looked into getting those for different client, too? Both are readily available. :)

  • Sorry, I'm just being facetious. :) 

    Karma doesn't really even take effort at all, though. Survival will.

    We need to work a bit for the really cool stuff around here. Dying is too easy. ;)
  • Clearing them off your suspect list basically encourages people to attack you again. So don't! Deaths happen, don't let one bother you. :) in Tweets VI: The Tweetsixteenth Comment by Riluna April 2015

    How about ikons significantly increasing the ego cost for all influencing? I'm not throwing out numbers as this is purely speculation, but it makes sense to me that the highest level ikons should introduce an element of actual r…

    Does that also mean Glom always gets to hear this all the time? No wonder they kill the baby.
