This is something we've been quietly working on for a while now, and the time has come to give you a bit of a preview.

General Discussion / New Brew Quest times!« on: February 15, 2016, 02:05:13 pm »
New job has finally stabilized. Unfortunately my new schedule has me waking up at 2:30am to get to work at 4am est. And there is a LOT of unforseen random overtime. Good for the bank account, hard on the sanity and availability. Looking at a new Layo Quest start time of about 4pm to 7pm EST, keeping it safe with a good buffer just in case they have me staying until 2-3 ish.The next one will be the trial for Bolga, everybody there was mostly available 8pm est. Checking to see how many people who worked on that series can make it for a 4pm est session on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday evevning. Possibly Saturday evening. Sunday is almost always crazy overtime and I am nearly psychotic after that shift, so lets avoid that day.

Implemented Ideas / Community Alternate Timeline« on: May 04, 2017, 07:30:50 pm »
vgn's fancy new time converter (tweaked for timeline matching) here!This is a WIP - italicized years are placeholders to remind me of when stuff happened. 4/6 added placeholders for Center, Mean Streets and Tides of Ire 7/26 added references to events related to Hardragh's and Rodlin's WLDQs 8/19 added Plague referenceOn that note, I am having some trouble with the Dragon Storm timeline, in that there were so many events and contributions that I am not sure they all belong on a main timeline, but am not sure of the best way to condense yet to hit the events (especially the shock and awe ones) without getting bogged down in detail. I'd like the result of everyone's efforts to be known and accessible ... ! So I'm not ignoring it... hehe. It could probably also use some time editing to reflect intentions vs RL realities - at the moment these are straight conversions of RL dates.If something is there that you feel should not be widely known, feel free to say so BUT I will say that I used only public posts and information distributed by open-knowledge types (like the Aragenites at Bydell).Besides some DS specifics, among other events still intended but not yet straightened out are those surrounding the famine and the Destroyer's Curse arc. On a completely unrelated note, if anyone could donate to me either the logs for or the names of all participants in the DS finales, Salvation of Hurix, and any other post-Dragoncalled major conflicts, I'd appreciate it. I shelved a long ago started OOC project for lack of names, hehe.
1420 After many years of darkness and twilight, the sun can be seen in the sky again, and the Dark Ages end. A disturbance in the Al'Noth was repaired by Lucindites and a party of adventures deep in Alindor's Wolfswood forest. Within weeks of the repair King Briant of Erilyn makes a royal appearance with his court of Barons and Baronesses in Fort of Kings. It is the first time the royal court of Erilyn has been seen together in over 200 years and sparks a period of growth and stability for not only Erilyn but Alindor. The influence of Shindaleria also increases in Alindor at this time. 1421(
1426 The artifact is returned to Fisterion rather than Shadrixkayl. 1428 Hurix saved after 5day siege yay 1430 Something stirs in the Almoran. Western Mistone is devastated by massive tsunamis responsible for the loss of thousands of lives. Leringard turns aside most of the force, and several druids are lost in the sheltering of Krandor, but Port Hempstead is hit hard by the first wave. Several unprotected hamlets on the coast are lost completely. Desperate calls for aid lead to united efforts to block or divert the worst of the storms in major locations, but the dead pile so high in Karst that plague rules all and the dead rise. Infections spread as far as Palden Lake. 1431 Enormous display of power over the Almoran; lightning in the skies and fire on the waters. 1433 The once-abandoned region of Brelin known as Center gains momentum in its shift from a huddle of tents occupied by refugees from the tsunamis, to a trading crossroads with a proper inn and craftsman facilities when portal exit points are redirected there from Fort Wayfare. 1434 Trelania fights Cult forces within its own borders. There are reports of Myr'Drach attacks on western trade routes, and sightings of some blue and silver dragon devouring travelers. People flock to major cities as the forces of various factions both religious and political mobilize and work to eliminate the new threats. Hilm warns Kuhl of war. Moraken's Tower is under siege, and a massive, corrupted bronze and black colored dragon falls on those that seek to break it.Though the siege is broken by one group and a direct attack on Hlint repelled by another, the defenders take heavy losses compared to the size of the Cult forces, whose dead were burned. Before the deaths can even be tallied, however, disease spreads. Hlint is quarantined, its containment managed by the Sisters of Rebirth. 1436 A strike force attacks the hidden Cult base at Stormcry Hollows; other plot finales. The Sovereign Siphe Principality is formed, carved from Hilm (literally in some cases) with the aid of the dragon Ractrafieroz one hundred miles in all directions of what is now known as Fieroz City. 1437
1440 An expedition led by Storold Doesscha is thought lost for good, taking some of the world's most powerful with it - the Diet of Lor and her partner among them. 1441 The grisly destruction of villages Vale and Clover in the Forest of Fog. 1443 The lost expedition returns, supposedly from the Pits of Strife. Tremors rock the area surrounding the known entrance to the Great Rift. Lightning and other displays of power play from multi-hued clouds as magic returned to long-dead caverns. 1451
1454
1457 An invading army of gnolls swarms out of the Ire Mountains. Several farms and small settlements are sacked. The motive for such an attack is unclear -- many would argue that none is needed, as gnolls are vicious creatures. Other rumors claim the gnolls fled something worse, and the world just got in the way. 1459 The Wasting Death returns to Liwich. 1471 (Current Year) The following users thanked this post: Dorax Windsmith

General Discussion / Important update on the quest from the Troll King today.« on: January 30, 2016, 06:41:09 pm »
I'm afraid due to unforseen circumstances, I have to move the quest from this afternoon to this evening- please check the calendar to verify the time (which should be 7pm EST/EDT). That's the bad news, and I'm terribly sorry if that messes up someone's plans to attend.The good news is that I have a very specific direction and story now, and have updated the calendar to reflect that. Something has awoken in the Ire.

Rumour Has It / Bloody Gate Extended Patrols« on: January 22, 2016, 06:05:28 pm »
*Griff meets some other dwarves at one of the fire-pits within the walls of Bloody Gate. Conversation and drinking is as would be. The cold is piercing but the ale is stronger. The discussion enters into topics of Milara and rumors. Then another dwarf with different armor joins them by the fire. They fill him in on what they speak of and offer him some ale. Turns out this dwarf is the head of the perimiter patrols. More ale is consumed and they take turns pulling meat off a deer that one of them through on the fire coals."Aye he's out der somewhere I wager. Tings got messy after deh bassard tried mess'n wit deh moons n stars. No tell'n what's go'in on past des walls. Meh patrols beh limited n range. Oi loike tah keep em close tah deh Gates." Says the Perimiter Commander."Oi could go have a look for ye. Push over some rocks or knock over some dead tree stumps...bassard holed up some place after he got his arse kicked n ran...prolly a piss trail his yellow arse left tah somewhere. Oi gots friends n trackers...good folks Oi fought wit befer. Weh can go on out past ye perimiter patrols n report back tah ye if ye loike." Says Griff"Aye foine if ye want Major. Ye know deh danger so Oi won't tell ye nut'n ye aint aware of, jus dat lota dem places ain't ben seen by dwarves in a long toime n no tell'n what foul magics he got in place. Aye assemble ye party n report back tah meh; weh keep a fire burn'n n a keg a ale ready for ye return." Says the Perimiter Commander."Call it done" Says Griff as he pats him on the back.*Griff then goes on his Warpony and places notice with those he knows to meet him at Bloody Gate for a patrol*//Gona set something up for this coming thursday at 6:00 pm edt to explore the areas around Bloody Gate and enter Milar's lands.

General Discussion / Multi-day trip?« on: January 16, 2016, 12:01:57 pm »
With the server status as it is, I thought perhaps it was not so great a sacrifice to lock up a character for a couple days and perhaps I could sell enough people on a long excursion! ;)I went last night to check out a place I know most people haven't been and remembered (once she got there) that is was behind the Kuhl checkpoints. (Acacea hopped the barricades and never stopped running, but this is beside the point.) For some reason I started rambling, I just wanted to know if enough people would be up for a (different) 2-3 day trip, preferably today-tomorrow-Monday (being stuck would not be an issue, even without DM!) but we could always hash it out if notice is too short, I guess... That said, my new place of internet access has been extremely unpredictable in its accessibility, heh. I will be out until early PST afternoon today but was thinking of starting this evening, maybe ...6ish? PST? 5? Suggestions welcome, heh. All levels would be welcome, but they would also probably die. hehe.If anyone is only interested depending on the location, this would be a Deep trek from one end to the other, which itself starts out with a long trip through Firelight. Someone who remembers the way would be nice. *cough* If enough people are interested I will give them a reason to be there.

General Discussion / Master resigning as GM« on: December 17, 2015, 12:49:01 pm »
I have taken a long look at this and have tried getting back into being a GM again but it is not in me any more. I have great respect for what everyone is doing here. I know me leaving is not going to be much of a streain on the team as I have not done much in over a year. The team knows the details about what has been going on with me but suffice to say I have had quite a few personal and work related issues that has kept me away.The biggest reason I threw myself into this game was because my son played. My son has not played here for years but I continued because I needed to work on writting my thoughts down and I loved the people who played here. I do not need to work on my writting any more and prefer vocal interaction verses a text based game. I still love the team, the people who play here and the concept of the Layo universe. It just does not meet my current needs in a game and will not for a while. When you find it a chore just to log on to play it is time to find another game. Even after a year of not playing I find it a chore to log on and play.If you want ot get ahold of me send me a PM as it is linked to my e-mail account and I will get a notification of the PM. I usually reply with in 24 hours of getting the PM.MJ

Layonara Server / Holiday Notice« on: December 09, 2015, 08:56:44 pm »
Greetings fellow Layonarans!The holiday season is upon us once again. As a result, time is usually a precious commodity for everyone, including our GM Team. As such, the lack of quest events will likely persist until the last part of the month at least. Please bear with us during this busy time.For those who have characters corrupted by the recent server problems, we'll be getting with you on the matter of restoration. For those of you wanting a restoration of your items, it would be helpful to us if you were to prepare a list of your equipment to the best of your memory. We're prepared to consider all good-faith requests in this situation.On the flip side of things, we are intending to to hold another bonus event starting December 26th and likely continuing throughout the month of January.Enjoy!

Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern / The Sea Disgorges a Guest« on: December 09, 2015, 05:51:17 pm »
Tori's empty stomach knotted threateningly, still in full rebellion over the damnably long voyage by sea. Her body seemed to find being quits of the ship nearly as bad as boarding it to begin with. "If a woman's fool enough to set foot on the ocean," it warned, "she ought to at least have the good sense to stay there forever."Cities were different places after dark, and this one was unfamiliar to her. She'd heard some stories, passed through on a few occasions, done a few jobs, but she hadn't put in the hours watching. Shoulders tensing when passing one another, steps quickening unconsciously to put something behind. Mapping alleys, ways in and out of the sprawl, the places adults left children to their games and the ones forbidden them that children played in, anyway. Letting herself be stolen from, even as the signs of those who would steal flickered around her with growing confidence. As forbidding as Leringard could appear when it wanted, she'd only seen what it put on for guests, and held no illusions of being anything else.As a guest, then, she needed a place to stay.

Layonara Server / System Failure, Character Corruption« on: December 06, 2015, 12:34:37 pm »
Hello all,I wish I was posting better news but there has been an issue as you know recently with the system acting quirky and some characters going missing and I've finally figured out why and the consequences.The servers file system was filling up dramatically with some rogue logs that would get exponentially bigger and then it would get filled to capacity. This caused the server to not save characters properly as there was no more room on the drive. I've corrected this issue but the issue is going to be a headache for some.The following characters are corrupted and there are no reasonable backups for them, the backup system overwrote both their daily backup and weekly backups with the corrupt file and I have no other known backups. It's a shame the weekly backup ran just a few hours before I realized there was a serious filesystem problem.

I just wanted to touch bases with my Layo family... Due to some RL work and personal things I'm taking a short break until January 1st. I may still be in the forums between now and then, and will continue working through the current CDQ I have going, but in-game quests will have to resume in the new year. Thanks for your support and understanding guys and gals... I will be back. :-)-Rave
