I know Imperian has the docent system and it seems like they like it. Do people think something like that could work in Lusternia? What do the admins think about a similar system? His this been shot down before and I'm just wasting time?

I hadn't heard of this until someone brought it up on Skeleton Hearth. As long as its well monitored and only given to people with good RP credentials then I think it would be an excellent idea.

Yeah, I don't play Imperian so I can't give a rave review of it but I've heard good stuff and the forums there make it look like it is enjoyed and that they have someone who looks over all of it and makes sure they pick good applicants and that they stay in line and don't abuse what is given to them.

Perhaps somebody who's familiar with the system could give a breakdown of exactly how it works? I've read the help file on it, but I've never played long enough to see how it works.

Yeah, I was going to ask the same. Don't play the game, no idea what this.

Docents are volunteers, like builders and guides, who focus on role-play. They possess mobs for small interactions (which everyone seems to love and help give a feeling that lusternia is more alive), help do room emotes and possess mobs for rituals and RP by different groups, and are also allowed to submit larger events. I know they are held to standards like their events are not allowed to assist their own character or alts as well as their guild, city, family ect.

It looks like it is mostly RP things which we usually depend on gods for. By adding in a group of volunteers we can add more RP to Lusternia and allow the gods to not always be bothered by requests like room emotes for rituals and weddings.

I've actually been thinking that something along those lines would be a good idea for a while now, I was thinking more of gods that don't build or code, just RP, but docents is a much better idea, yeah.

Maybe even a mix. A RP focused god who would be in charge of the docents and does some building/coding when needed.

I like it. It gets my support.

Yes please!
just don't let me be one because i would so take over a DL and make it rampage around the basin.

Have them sign a legal document like the builders.

This idea comes up quite frequently and so we regularly review the pros and cons of it. Presently I understand it is not something that we are able to entertain, but that is not to say that it has been ruled out for the future.

Too many Lusternian's are power hungry complete morons for me to possibly think this is a good idea.

You are incredibly pessimistic and cynical.

Go drink a beer and be happy, god damn it.

I'm not power hungry. Give me ultimate RP power, and I'll show you. I'll show ALL of you...

I've heard of docents and it's something we are not going to have in Lusternia at this time.

Sorry!
