Wouldnt cost so much to make a potion if the herbalists wouldn't charge so damn much for a single herb *cough sparkleberry cough*, it's slowly coming down in price though.

I'm quite surpirsed at the ooc resistance to our movement. Richter has always, since closed beta, been interested in the glomdoring, hence the "Dark hart of the forest" title. It was only natural that he follow Visaeris.

I'm loving this chance to RP. I don't love the fact that being hunted makes it hard to RP. Lay the (insert obscure yet scathing word) off.

I'm going to love the peace and quiet of missing three channels. I still have my knighthood, I still have my athletics, and look, a check in the mail for thousands of credits!

Being 19 with a great job rules.

I'll have a chance to snuggle up to rowena, find my black panther I've been babling about over shouts (hint, pet), and try and figure out the Glomdoring quests.

We're going to have some fun here. We're not here to steal your lunch money.

I dunno, if we don't recruit a chef soon, you never know...

As I cannot seem to spiritbond squirrel (still swear its a bug), we may indeed have to steal your lunch money.

Sorry.

I gots a question- when you tap into wild nodes for power, is it all plain power? Or can you get tainted/purified/forest power that way too?

Oh, and kudos, Visaeris- this is some really sweet role play you're bringing into focus!

Well see.. Power is power.. The only thing that classifies it is based on your citizenship..

Don't think it is a bug, since it comes from being in tune with nature and such. Could be wrong on that, but if you are simply a rogue with no city or commune, you aren't really one with anything...namely in the Serenwilde being the mother tree. I always assumed that totems derived from your closeness to nature and our bond to the mother tree.

But yes, I miss squirrel totem as well...fishcakes are too expensive!

I think it'd be interesting if we were able to cleanse the Glomdoring forest and return it to the Gloriana, before it can be made into an evil commune.


I don't see why we need to have this 'balance' of tainted commune/city and untainted commune/city. What about Hallifax and Gaudiguch? Will they be the 'neutral' ones?

I think New Celest should try their hardest to restore the Glomdoring forest. Though I know most people wouldn't like that, because an evil forest is 'cool'.

Nobody likes to roleplay the good guy anymore *sigh*

EDIT:

Visaeris, I personally think all of this is just a quest for attention and glory. I wouldn't have thought so if you hadn't gone ahead and professed your "enlightenment" in shouts as if everyone wanted to know or even cared... just the fact that you preach about it so much makes it seem like you just want the glory for being "the one who made the Glomdoring Commune" so all the little newbies will go Ooooh and Ahhh when they hear your name should Lusternia be around in five years.

That's the impression you give me when you talk ICly and OOCly, here on the boards. But maybe that's just me

Glomdoring, at least if I end up at the helm when it starts to actually become a real organisation, is not going to be Evil. I'll not breach IC/OOC but if you want to know why, you can find out ICly..

Trust me, plenty of people are playing the self-righteous goodguys.. Celest is oozing with them



..... Yes. A prophet character who preaches and tries to draw others into the fold, or at least interest them.. CLEARLY the player behind it is just after glory

Hah, you think anyone in Celest roleplays? No. We all just worry about fighting and rushing about. We don't roleplay anything at all because we're too busy bitching at eachother for being weak.

It's just a mass of people trying not to get killed over and over and over at this point. The lack of roleplaying is very disheartening.

That's not very fair. We may not be roleplaying anything very well as a whole, but we've been open how long? We're still getting other affairs in order, let alone trying to go out and fight for dominance in the world while most of us have no idea about all these new skills and combat tactics. I know we're not doing as well as the other cities (namely Magnagora, Serenwilde seems to be pretty much on par with us), but at least give those of us that are trying a little credit. I know plenty of Celestians that are roleplaying, from personal experience.

Just wanted to reiterate what Nika has just said. There really are Celest folk who roleplay and its lots of fun and also helps the city even though its not 100% smash-and-kill.

On the other hand, if I could just break this masochistic addiction to the astral plane I could probably do a lot more rp stuff...

I realise this is a bit of a late response, but here goes.

Harker is not Visaeris, and Visaeris is not Harker (Or else I'm missing something.) Yes, you've been in the Wardens as well, Harker is an amazing guy, and I as well as a whole bunch of others owe a good deal of our roleplay ability to him. Visaeris, however, is not Harker, lest I forget to mention it. I hope I've made that point clear. Visaeris is doing his own thing. Leave him to it.

What Visaeris does, and this is something that I admire, is that he acts as a catalyst. He doesn't ask for things to happen, he makes things happen. Simply because your charecter hasn't had the oppurtunity to be as big on the world stage as Visaeris doesn't mean you need to be jealous.

On a side note, I wish all of you in Celest good luck with your roleplay - what little there is left. Elayna, Eldril, Amaya, whoever else is left - I hope you pull your ship together. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Just as an aside, thanks for posting the information you did about the astral plane on Celest news Hazar. Its helped me out quite a bit in my addiction. Come back sometime, we'll go to the astral plane and get loaded with astraly goodness!

Oi, don't get me started on how long it took to make those guides...

And practically no one uses them.

Anyway, back on topic, that's what we are now...

I'd just like to say I really approve of what Visaeris is doing. I really like it when other players take it upon themselves to create plots like this.

A word of advice: I tried to do a similar, albeit lesser scale thing to what you are doing here in one of the other games, and it eventually fell apart mainly because the other players who commited themselves couldn't wait as paitently as I could. (Though we didn't have the large infamy you seem to be building up, but that would've been bad news for us anyhow).

If you're patient, and not stupid about this, I can't wait to see how it turns out. Its like you've taken a hook the admin have dropped (I'll bet they felt all fuzzy inside when you took their carefully crafted story and tried to help it grow ).

Best of luck.

Oh, I know it is still new in the game, that is why I have very high hopes for Celest. I think we have to get past this first bump before any great roleplaying can happen... I was just noting that right now we are indeed stuck in a bump and I don't like that how most of our time is spent worrying about countering Magnagoran things instead of... I don't know... worry about productive things? I try to roleplay my best and try to get others to roleplay, but sometimes it is difficult.

And I don't like how there aren't very many people who talk about the Light!

The fact that you are a self proclaimed prophet is what makes me think that in the first place... now, if you had Divine backing from the beginning I'd be all for it.

Maybe it's just me, because I didn't play IRE games extensively before Lusternia, but in every other roleplaying mud I've played I've always discussed world changing plots I wanted to start with the actual people who make the game, and see if they approve or disapprove of it beforehand. Or, I wait patiently until one of those people decide to bestow upon me a pivotal role in a plot they made up themselves. While I do like that you are trying to make change, I don't like your methods and I'll always just believe you're trying, and always have tried, to make your character the most reknowned on Lusternia.

heh, glad Visaeris "decided" to take this up, free of anyone else helping him. Those of you wishing to RP your future in Glomdoring should try and speak with Rowena on a personal level and you will discover some things that have not been revealed to you yet. Also, if Glomdoring raises Crow, it will only be through pure evil that it is done so, so this talk of "I'm not evil" that some are spouting is pure crap. They are evil and any who follow are evil, it will all be made clear as soon as the Crow is raised.
