Old Folks...

Back to Ideas.

Alright...some of us have been here for quite sometime. Granted, some of us have had a time where we've gone for a while, other's have been around for the full term. Here's what I propose...

A single clan. Call it "Old Folks Home"...maybe "Elders of Lusternia" if you want to be technical about it. Entrance to the clan would be a requirement of 100 years or older. Nothing special about being combat proficient....or politically savvy...

Just something to where one can say "I remember when..." and not get pestered by the younger ones content.gif

Cause hey...we "golden oldies" gotta stick together...in some way shape or form. So gather your canes and start shakin them at the young!
Simimi2007-07-24 16:23:32
I 100% support this idea... in fact, where is our cane item? I need a Dracnari cane from the Skarch, like the elder nomads!

You know...Artisans should be able to make canes....seriously suspicious.gif

Being 100 years old isn't really a good requirement, though. People can make characters of all different ages. My first character (Kamur) was around during open beta and is still only 98. Derian is only 70, I think, and he came around not long after that.

I can't see what is preventing you (or anyone) from doing this?
Unknown2007-07-24 17:26:24
Feel free to create one. But I wouldn't join. Being in one clan with others for no reason other that they are old farts and you are an old fart too is not good enough. Especially since this isn't supposed to be an OOC clan (are you 100 in real life?), and it would hurt immersion to be in a clan with people you consider enemies - that situation is bound to happen.

Besides, races in Lusternia age at different ratios. I'm pretty sure (cliche warning!) that 100 isn't that much for an Elfen. Of course, it's hard to see that as player characters do not age unless they choose to.

Got a point there. Yet there still has to be ample amount of time. If I remember correctly, I think I started off Jasato as 21...but I can't remember entirely unsure.gif

The starting ages I believe are 16 to 29, right? So I mean, you've only got from one of those points to start. After that, your looking at about a year or so before you can actually Begin to come close to 100 in the game.

Lack of gold/credits...and the clan slots to put them in, actually. I don't think any really 'thought' about it, so that's why I'm putting it up as such. I don't for see anyone IG going on market saying "Seeking a Clan composed entirely of old people. Send tells please" ...though, that would be funny...

Shiro started off 16 and he's 99. (I have played this game for so long >.>)
Simimi2007-07-24 17:53:21
Same here, started at 16

I think you might be wrong. I think perhaps you started off at 17 or 18 because I started off at 16 when the game started and I'm only 97 and I'm turning 98 in Urlachmar
Lenalith2007-07-25 09:18:54
Indeed, my first-day character, (1st of Estar too), just turned 98 and was created at 16 I believe.

That sounds right. I created my character at a starting age of 17 and am now 99.
Arix2007-07-25 12:07:09
I started Arix at 16 and he's only 92
Lenalith2007-07-25 12:19:33
Yeah, but Arix was born in 88 ACE and the first people were born in 84 ACE.

I'm 111 years old now, but age is just a number. It doesn't make one wise, ill, or anything else. It also doesn't mean we should all hang out together and be friends. Most of the centigenarians I know are bitter, especially when it comes to politics and conflict. You're better off hanging out with the "kids" who still have a fresh, positive outlook on things.
Acrune2007-07-25 15:52:08
Maybe something cool will happen for people who have been out of the portal for 100 years, when that time comes about. Yay oldness, Acrune turned 100 recently >_>

If not the clan....then a few extra credits for us old folks would be nice >.>

....hey, I can dream can't I?
Acrune2007-07-25 16:50:25
I'd be quite happy with a fancy cane like achaea got tongue.gif

You are 106 years old, having been born on the 17th of Estar, 76 years after the Coming of Estarra.

I think the oldest people would be born 71 ACE. And then I checked, Richter started at 29, and he's 71 ACE.
Unknown2007-07-25 19:15:12
Yeah it's 71, Estar.

IC clan wouldn't work, OOC clan would be quite pointless, and I guess that's all.
