The Soulforge isn't coded to be biased for Magnagora, though. Tainted Broadcasting Centre spreading Taint-aganda, sure, but the Soulforge has no such implications. The main enemy actually seems to be the Dread Lord of Contagion more than Muud, because the Soulforge has been raised in the past and Muud didn't destroy half the Basin (all from an IC point of view). Soulforge is just a stupid quest because it takes forever to raise it but like two hours to take it down. Something is clearly wrong there.

The mob is not tougher than the supernals or DLs, it is pretty much like Globglob, if you have enough people it is easy, yes the last blast can kill you but it only kills you after destroying it.
Did you know most of us can not spend 24/7 in lusternia, real life responsibilities are a bitch. And oddly enough the centre gets activated in off hours more than during peak hours even though appereantly mag has no people in off hours

Neither Celest nor Serenwilde are huggy, we demand the killing of taintlings to be included in the quest
Or they could you know, create a decent rewards for the counterquest and make a quest to -prevent- it from being activated for x time


No, you are wrong about the big Muud bug. I know for a fact it makes Demi Warriors run in terror where as Globglob does not.

Seren has people on all the time just like Mag does. I don't think I ever advocated a single person on a 24 hour vigil.

The counter quest means you don't have to listen to the 'spam.' Seeing people make such a big deal over a few lines every 10 minutes (I've seen it in Glom, it was never bad)...sounds like a great reward to me!

Honestly? The RP behind Celest is not that hard to follow, it is a perfectly logical progression in fact.

1. Soulless is bad m'kay
2. Taint is soulless m'kay
3. Don't do Taint m'kay

The soulforge is strictly worse than the TBC in every respect as far as Celest RP is concerned. In fact the existence of that quest followed by the TBC is one of the reasons Celest players are annoyed with the state of recent "world quests".


Celest players are annoyed all the time. If it doesn't cater to their needs, it should be changed. If a quest or event isn't perfectly pleasurable in every way, it's a forums jihad. That's partially why I've only been discussing with Seren. I don't know how many times I've read Celest players insinuate the Admin favour Mag, only to get their skills buffed while Mag suffers repeated nerfs. The Admin are not biased. The events and quests, though no perfect, aren't targeted to make Celest cry.

I don't think anyone should believe that it's only going to be celest players. They've had quite a few negative experiences recently, but just as easily it could switch to any organisation.

From memory, things like glomdoring being upset because of their relationship with the fae which resulted in multiple changes that drove serenwilde up the wall.

If you look you'll probably find multiple examples of situations where each of the orgs complains about another org.

Trueheal/Lich is a golden example

The Dread Lord of Contagion is the Avatar of Muud, however.

From what I know, the TBC stops people from being able to gather pilgrims, bards or scholars or something. The only problem I have is that is hinders the little people a lot more. I have no problems with the messages, I just ignore them or go sit in a manse if I need to read something and don't want it bothering me. I would hope it changed so that bigger people couldn't gather scholars. Like the TBC made bigger people seemed scary. Like it wouldn't effect novices. That is like the only way to get gold/xp/power to further yourself. It stops a lot of them. I know they can do other things like hunt essence and junk, but if they all have to, it causes a short supply. Maybe the admins could change it where it just prevents people level 21 and above from gathering? Sorry if someone already suggested this. I so haven't read this! Don't change anything else, I don't have a problem with it. Let's just not hurt the wee people tongue.gif
