When is the Anniversary this year?

I'm still pretty busy but I'd like to know since I might want to show up for it. Even if I'm really busy if I can I'd always want to show up for the anniversary. It's almost like the "Thanksgiving" of Lusternia.

Dunno. But make sure you look up Anisu when you do.

October 7 is our anniversary, I believe.

Is there anything planned for it?

They plan to fix Forging! Well we can wish, cant we?

So yes, 7th October.

Oh damn, I just get home for that from the wedding.

I still fail to see the problem with forging. It's long, boring AFK filled work... but if it wasn't everyone would have those wtfpwnage weapons.

Except everyone DOES have those wtfpwnage weapons because you're at a huge disadvantage if you don't.

So if everyone has them I don't see how forging can be such a problem. They must not be THAT hard to get.

he worded it wrong.

All the combatants have those weapons... if you don't have those weapons you don't bother being a combatant. Most people arn't able to be combatants.

Forging is fine.

Something that forces you to break rules just to get what you need is not "Fine".

obviously the problem then is the existence of the AFK rule, not forging DUH!

Only way to explain it, right?

I agree - that said I can say, with almost 100% certainty, that probably every person who forged a wtfpwnage broke the AFK rules while forging it. And that will never change. And people will still laugh at the gods if they try to punish them for being AFK. Until forging is changed which it shouldn't be because it's fine as it is!...

AFK rule needs to be taken out, forging's fine.

There! Nerf Xiel.

You realize this is a thread about when the anniversary is?

wtf it's the 7th we already got that piece of business out of the way.
Now go back to playing other-gender character weirdo

Is Ardmore drunk?

Anyways, while I understand that us peons are supposed to accept that the forging formula is Complicated and one of the Pillars of Rapture, that somehow the say, tell, and look commands are hardcoded into the forging subscript, and removing that bit of legacy code will unleash Kethuru on the world (the real one, even!), I know that changes have been made to it in the past. The random factor needs to get smashed into pieces and replaced with a very narrow range and the upper level of what forging can currently produce.

Why make it random at all?

Let the diversity exist in the designs. perhaps lower the decay age.

Maybe people will actually have different weapons instead of just two hammers and flail?
