I will have to go back and get my notes on the Path and the heads of the orders.

As far as a specific time period that they accept initiates an such, that is not how it works.  You are free to petition to join whenever you like.  How that is handled is on a case by case basis.  If there happens to be a group of you that want to join then it is up to the GM involved if they want to run a GCDQ.

Once I dig out my notes on the Path, I will let you know more details.

I think that main problem is that people don't bother RPing (or trying to very much) because they know the chances of them getting in trouble for it is like 100000 - 1. The GMs are just not around all that much, and when they are, they are sorting out some wicked fun event or something, they have no time to go around and see how people RP.

In another server I played, there would ALWAYS be GMs just roaming around randomly, handing out XP to people RPing all the time, spawning hordes of creatures on people who decided not to RP and just mindlessly kill things, and have plenty of random events. Very very rarely was an event ever planned publicly, the GM would just set up the event, then start it, with no one knowing until it happened.

IMO, some GMs should roam around a lot more, it'd encourage people to play properly, because they know they will get rewarded if they do, and get in trouble if they don't.


This sounds really great in theory, but the reality is that if any GM punished players by spawning extra creatures on players who are just mindlessly bashing, they would get flamed on the forums for it.  I have seen GMs get flamed for doing impromptu things where the players were expecting a spawn to be one way and since the GM changed it up on them, it was unfair.  

Plus, there is no way you can police RP.  What one GM considers good RP and worthy of an XP reward, the next GM may not.  When I GM'd I didn't care how you RP'd, as long as you did.  You wanna play a whiny brat?  Play a whiny brat.  You wanna play a shifty character that keeps to himself?  Do it.  Does your character have a hero complex?  Play them that way.

The point is, this is an RP server so what should we all be doing?  RPing.  Does RPing include leveling up?  Yeah it does because higher levels open up RP options previously unavailable.  Does RPing include mindless bashing of monsters on an XP grind?  No it doesn't.  That doesn't mean we don't do it from time to time, but from my perspective it seems like this type of activity is happening more and more.  To that, all I can say is that you are losing so much opportunity to RP by flying through levels.  

So step back, read L's post again and think about what he is saying.  I have never known L to say things just to say them.  If he is considering shutting the servers down, then he is seriously considering it.  Now the onus is on you, the community, to show him that keeping the servers online is a worthwhile investment.  As a member of the community, are you contributing to it or are you just using it?

Just for Fun / RE: 3 songs that I find cool at the moment...

Recipe for Hate...Warhorse - Megadeth - this song is just raw and in your face.  A very uplifting tune ;)

Acid Rain - Liquid Tension Experiment - Man does this song rock!

Not the Same - Days of the New - Days of the New just has this really dark acoustic sound that I really dig.

Like palemasters, spellswords will not learn new spells as they level in that class.  They only gain new spell slots or increase the level they are able to cast.

No improvement to duration, power, DC..etc.

We have many scribers on Layonara easily covering all spells from 1st lvl to 6th level.  After 6th level they become expensive and harder to find.

Best of luck!

This is not entirely true since the last update.  Per the LORE page for Spellswords :

Bonus Spells:

Spellswords gain one caster level every other level after the first (respectively at 1,3,5,7,9) gaining all benefits of durations and improved spellcasting, but not any other benefits from their spellcasting class.


I am not sure if that means new spells or not, but the effective casting level on your current spells will increase.

I am not sure of any monastic orders for clerics only.  There is a group that is mostly monks, but open to any who follow, called the Path of Elemental Balance.

The doctor looked at it and after xrays and lots of sitting around waiting, I was sent home.  But not before they cleaned the wound.  This involved scrubbing where my skin had burst open.  Then they had to dry the wound which involved compression.  Compression on a crushing wound...yeah...it hurt.  :)
