I think Thorgal's dormant node things is awesome.

hehe you think Marcalo was one of the original drainers? Man thats worse than thinking Rafael drained all the nodes on Astral.

Yeah yeah, I'm still getting used to this whole demesne thing.

Apparently Revan and Athana decided to taint all of astral. I hope this becomes an upkept demesne and whoever is still linking is chased off, then we can finally get back to life as it used to be.

I doubt it. "Certain people" will not stand for their herbs being destroyed in such a way. >_>

Well, the right thing to do would be... oh. Right. Damnit.

We are?
I guess I could start doing that...but all the sparkleberry would die..

Well, there was talk over Seren CT. Maybe I'm hallucinating.



Yah. That's probably it.

Nah, Argilent just killed a Stone Lord a few IG months ago and we wanted to avenge them so we found him up there afk and burrowed and bam...

Still, someone should keep up a demesne (Seren or Glom if the berry is so important) and watch over.

Erm, why dont' you talk about this with people in-game? The forums aren't a substitute for roleplaying.

Marcalo have right. People have to learn not to go on astral and drain nodes. I was on astral only few times only to kill manifestations, but i saw lot of people there, i m not sure if they were linking or just killing respawn mobs, but it shows that some just dont want/cant leave astral alone.
And if so, then lets keep astral drained. I'm to busy on prime to watch over astral i wouldnt have time to bash there so i dont give a ... what will happed with astral.
And some people have luck that Ekard isnt bastard or he would kill some people there.

I don't see a problem with killing the -respawns- I was doing that all of yesterday night

Indeed, I still hunt on Astral, but only respawns. Combined with harvesting sparklies it's fine. And while I noticed a lot of rooms tainted, and in all honesty I see no reason at all for the taint, Astral is surely not completely tainted.

But to get back to the topic, it is easy for Hajamin to say that as the draining was player-driven we can return the nodes to their old strength, but I am sorry, no, we can't. At least not until those idiots stop draining. Even those fools should have noticed by now that getting one or two links per node is not worth it. Let them recover and we all will be happy.

Oh, and I like the idea of a dormant node that returns to full after some time.

good lord ceres, who ever gives your information should be shot in the head, i have NEVER drained a node to nothing, hell marcs killed people for linking once after motes, so try again.

You said you can't do it, and then said how it could be done right after it...

I didn't say it was easy, but it can be done.

Uhm, if they don't want to stop draining then there is nothing we can do about it. It is close to impoosible to keep someone from draining when he or she uses a cubix and of course if gemmed. Only because it is possible in theory doesn't mean that we really can do it and I also find it extremely unfair that we now would need to do some insane effort just because some morons decided to screw the rest of Lusternia.

It is already more than difficult to constantly watch the Ethereal Plane, but Astral is impossible.

A thousand apologies, comrade. I have executed the faulty source.

Guarding astral cannot be done as you suggest, Hajamin.

I say implement the dormancy system - once nodes are empty they cannot be linked to until they fill once more.

Well, Argilent consistently kills the nodes over and over, and he gets killed for it plenty of times, but he keeps coming again time after time... there's nothing you can do against it if even a single person decides to drain, that's all it takes to keep them all dead, one person.

I still don't see why we cannot immediately code in for dead nodes to do dormant until full power... is there anyone who has argued that's a bad idea?
