Oh goody, I'm not the only one.

As long as they don't go 3Kingdoms on us I think all will be well.

(Note: The tone I take fringes on rantish, despite that I'm not attacking Richter at all. Just answering his question.)

Too sci-fi? Maybe. You can't just implement something that -isn't there-, but none of this is really coming from an outside source. As far as it seems to me, everything Lusternia is (Aside of course from the roots of myths and stories that -all- fantasy stories are influenced: J.R.R Tolkien didn't create the concept of elves, but that dosn't mean the story of The Ring is unoriginal trash. Anyone who can read at 10th grade level knows that. Heck anyone illiterate who saw the recent MOVIES knows that)seems to grow out of itself. It's concepts and how they are utilized are it's own. I said that when I came here, it's such a different game. It feels like other IRE games in alot of it's systems, but it's not. It's unique. Planes are crazy, not since ursula k. le guin's take on transdimensional vices or refreshing concepts like D&D's "Planescape" work have I seen a planar concept done so well. And this is a -multiplayer- game. It's harder to do multiplayer games and still retain a strong sense of individual, non-subjective concept while still attracting a wide audience. For instance: Even though we all know roleplay enforced = a better roleplaying game in 99% of any instance you may be logged into a MUD(which is text anyway for christ's sake), we don't enforce it because despite the fact those guys over there like to pretend to be knights, they think verbose roleplay is strange and tedious. Which is fine. They get to lose the artisnals.

My point is that as long as Lusternia isn't -directly- stealing/copying anything from outside sources or concepts(which it's not), and the playerbase is still having fun with it, my opinion is that Lusty should raise the big golden badge of creative license, and turn a deaf ear to anyone who tries to limit it's development.

So what if we start leaking into a genre of fantasy gaming where we're not exactly ye-olde classic fantasy anymore? That's what Aetolia is for: The same old boring fight between Count Dracula and some paladins.

Bring on the aetherships, the sluagh, the wiccan brooms and the gigantic hamsters that radiate raw quintessential energy. I wanna see it all, and Lusternia is better than to be limited by anything(especially not genre labels) it dosn't want or have to. It's the new-new-new world right? Lusternia is our baby and I say we let her draw on the walls if she wants to. Just make sure it's washable.

The candy inhabitants may be manifested Fae spirits, we aren't quite sure yet. In all honesty, they're no more silly than a Fae that likes to tickle people, or a little green man that picks people's pockets.

I like the occasional 'fun' thing. My favourite place was always Bopalopia... and ever think it might be a little bit of a tribute? Which is another idea I appreciate.

Think of the aether bubbles as 'pocket universes', if that helps.

They're not all silly, you know.

You have the best kick-ass signature ever... cool and straight to the point.



On Topic

I will have to agree with Edmund here... Lusternia should not be limited by such labels... in fact, we are better than labels like fantasy, sci-fi and MUDsex combined, dammit. We are Lusternia, where you can have a Faeling Wiccan in a Broom inside an aethership having MUDsex with a Paladin Krokani

En Taro Adun!
(yes, brownie points to be scored here again)

That is GREAT idea!!



I dotn see reason why we should have lucidians and no snowmans? Living crystals or living ice? Same for me.
And i was only in triangle but those sand fishes are cool.

And another idea. Maybe there is bubble with beer universe somewhere?? Arix would love it.

En taro adun, Executor!

Isn't it now "En taro Tassadar"?


Either way... FOR THE SWARM!

I don't think that came about until Tassadar died (if I'm remembering it correctly). It was just En taro Adun, Executor when you were the Executor of the fleets. And I spent more time with this version than the En taro Tassadar one.

For Auir!

That's my point... he is dead and so "En Taro Tassadar" is now used as he is the new "martyr"....

Artanis - What do I look like, an Orc?

My life for Aiur!
(Come on...everyone must know that lot.)

Adun Toridas!


Corsairs are so funny.

"Look at all the pretty lights!"
"I wonder what this button does?"
"*sirens* I think this was a BIG mistake!"

My life for Aiur! ... Uh I mean Ner'Zhul.

Perhaps if you'd like to see something happen, you could IDEA it In Game.

IDEAs are never looked at, we were told at some point. Better to post in the Ideas forum.

I'm partial to "Power overwhelming" *spooky voice*

not only was it a saying but it was a hint as to the one cheat code


*is still looking for lusternia cheat codes*

perhaps if I beg from bob he'll give me credits to make me leave him alone?

I'm not sure what psychadelic code you used to make them say that, to me they just keep saying that they thought I'd see it their way and that today is a good day to die. Though I have to admit, apart from their distort ability corsairs are not really very much use, in that, only the computer somehow manages to use multiple of those at once, I just have to click and then very quickly mobilise those forces that I want to take out whatever it is that the corsair distorted .

Oh, and gotto love Dark Templar.

And you'd be surprised how many people haven't played this most classical of games


Also, I have just spoken to estara, we're making carrier modules, if you just TRANSFER 5000 CREDITS TO ELCYRION FOR 0 GOLD I'll upgrade your vessel to be -exactly- like Protoss carriers.

Honest...
