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, …
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…
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 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…

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.
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?
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…
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…
