* Ladies Rest closed temporarily for renovations after existing owner murdered (Plot Driven)
* The rumbling in Dverghiemm did not exist to begin with, it's addition is for plot reasons
* Statue of Strahd in Market district is a replacement from a rebel attack of a previous fist
* The Main gates to Vallaki in the outskirts were rebuilt after a differing rebel attack
* Changes in server dynamics with addition of differing crafts.
* Before my time, but I have heard the Sanctuary of Eternal Dawn was a IC Purchase made between the Morninglord Faction and the Red Vardo
1. It would be nice if there were a way to describe how it happened through the dwarves, and with names involved with it
2. Faction action is great, as I said, there needs to be people around to tell the tale
3. didn't last for long. I see the trees have grown back
4. The final death knell of "adventuring and find it yourself" adventures and the the beginning of the Red Vardo monopoly
5. Very underhanded, it would be nice to hear some of the reasons. besides the...*cough* horrible comments about how it came to be
What I really wanted to see was Petre running the guardsmen before getting shutdown, That would've been awesome! and judging from what I heard from back then, he deserved it, but hearing that he didn't and the ensuing talk about it almost made -me- quit the server at that time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I first came to the server, I had a goal of two things... have a Werewolf to play, and make a character worthy of a tombstone.
yup a Tombstone, like those things that popup with the examine feat, that says "Here lies Sando, Asshole and friend", And there is a certain tree right before crossing a small bridge over the river two areas after the asylum in which I RPed with different characters that states "Sando Colt was here" upon a spot check of 20 (usually I would make sure my character fails the check before sending it through Tell), made when he was with a group from long ago and thought he was going to die.
We may not change the world, but we would like to see our @$$ stain on at least on a pebble. Local legends should be widespeard and give those screwed up peasent NPCs something to talk about besides the damn incestery of the brother and sister of the noble district.
"My heavens, this place turned to a dump since that mad man Marcus left his job for a incompentent fool [so and so's name]"
"I never let my children out since those rebels painted fists on the walls"
"I once saw a Red Vardo disappear into the air one time...but ya didn't here it from me..." if cha = 14+ and not Vardo, if not *stares at you suspisiously*
"I saw two lively bards at the broken bell inn, It was a great performance, it almost made me over look their ears, but not their damned rowdiness!"
"Poor Ille has been much abuse by the hands of the guardsmen since the rule of Marucs, but he still carries the burden of the Morninglords example and an example to us all!"
"Feckin outlandehs 'n rebels 'n tere fanceh thundeh stuff took down teh count's gate! T'ey shall pay wit t'ere sorcery wit t'ere blood on me blade one day *Spits* afteh meh wife stops callin me home."
And that's just a few things NPCs -should- be saying. Its that that makes the server live and breathe, and give a character a reward greater than gold: fame...if only for a short time. I would love to have that tree pop up sando's message when someone passes the tree, but it sounded like a proposal that would likely be shot down and so I never asked for it to be done. but what I would like, is a tombstone if my character dies, or any prominent character who dies. It would be fun to see a pilgrimage to a Musician's grave for inspiration, see the grave of the woman ranger who loved a werewolf by the small grave of their child that died.
without these things, -nothing- lives on... the world is a stale and a literally unmoving thing, goes no where and does nothing but sit. play with it one day and it'll ask who you are, and always will because it'll never remember you, when it doesn't remember you why play with it any longer? Later it grows a chainsaw for a third arm, knows how to play chess, and can sing the baby blues, but never remember who you are. Score hi-score of 60,000,000 points at arcade, see it the next day reset back to manufacturer's standards. Go to your cousins house, have lots of fun and do something extraordinary that makes the neighbors go in awe and make your cousins look up to you, and come back a month later, and they gape at you with tilted heads: "Who are you?"
thats my
