Me?

Glomdoring has as a whole, as well...

There's even an announce post about it. Somewhere.

Right, we're all just going to go against the word of our Patron, who is doing a great job at it, just because we reluctantly want to do a quest. Makes a whole lot of sense, that.

The whole "pirate radio station" thing seems like a good idea at first, until you realise that it would just lead to people camping the Centre at all times. The Serens have already gotten very, very good at killing Norchatine every hour, on the hour, just so that no one (like some jackass lucidian whose name I won't mention) can do the quest. And let's face it, if one side's doing it, the other would be forced to if they ever wanted bards and scholars again. (Also pilgrims. Those poor, completely ignored pilgrims. They are as overlooked as they are useless.)

And we can't have the Stryker family enemy because you need to influence them to repair the core. So if you wanted to stop anyone from taking down Globglob immediately, you couldn't do the quest ever again. I'm not really liking that idea.

Celenwilde does seem to be screwed by RP in this situation. Not just admin RP, mind you, but character RP. Most of the hatred of Mag comes from hatred of undeath/taint, of which Globby/Norchatine are both. My sadistic nature wants Ildil and her kids to be changed to undead as well, because that would pevent Celenwilde from doing the counter-quest as well. (insert evil laugh here.) Seriously, though, the only way Celenwildians could do the quest is by not believing that the taint is a dire threat that can only be dealt with by elimination. While there are ways to do this, (an elemental scholar studying with the Aquamancers, a Serenguard who's more mercenary than tree hugger, ect. ect.) enough prominent (and not so prominent) members of the city/commune would disagree with the person (rather forcefuly, I might add) to make it very, very difficult for the character to continue to feel welcome in the city/commune. Especially when Globglob's shouting reminders with the person's name in them all over the aether every time they repair the center because he can't keep his big fat mouth shut.

And while I'm on the subject, can that be removed? It's just an enemy status magnet. Whenever I repair the centre, I have to wonder which org is going to enemy me this time, because people feel the need to lash back. I have 5 enemy statuses from player orgs/orders, 4 of which I got right after repairing the Centre at one time or another. Why am I enemied to the Celestines, though I've never once set foot on Celestia? I didn't even know who Eventru was until I was enemied to his order. It just seems silly to me.

Also, I demand that superhat monstrosities be implemented. Best bashing ground ever.

The fact that you repeatedly attempt the quest and try to justify it with RP means when it is meant to do little more than annoy 3/4 of the orgs, while being fully aware of the imbalances and generally unfair nature of the quest seems so... honestly I can't think of a word for it.

I find funny that Serenwilde keeps the main quest mob dead as often as they can. I know Lendren purchased a 500 credit artifact just to keep Norchatine dead at all times. I've considered it myself. I haven't ever heard of anything like that in any other IRE game, and I don't mean that as a compliment. You would think that this would clue the Administrators in on how the majority of the game feels about it, but since 'any' org can do it, there is no foreseeable change to occur. That is possibly the most annoying thing about it.

My vote, honestly, goes to deleting the whole thing and throwing some amnesia dust on it.

Your sig. Second quote. Read it caaaarefully.

There is a line where RP meets dissatisfied customers, and I consider the TBC to be going over that line. Way over that line.

Sorry, but, my hard-earned cash investments into a game that I want to enjoy > 'rp' tailored to one of four orgs, which negatively affect majority of the orgs, in a game with 100+ players.

(I kind of packed a lot into that sentence. I don't know if it's clear. Just 'cause someone buys credits doesn't mean they are a 'better' player. But if you are going to pay money for something , you want enjoyment out of it, right?)

What 2nd quote are we talking about here? I don't see what this has to do with it...she isn't taking a thread IC or anything.

The, 'I would like to remind everyone reading this thread that it would be best to forget this thread exist while you are playing Lusternia. Don't let it colour or skew your perspective in the game.'

You removed my quote. Jerk.

I wonder how often do you lead Scholars around Aison?

If anyone is letting the the TBC ruin their game playing experience, they desperately need a little perspective. Mountain out of a mole hill.



She's not, but she's expecting Xanfinro to take into consideration that people complain about it on forums and base his IC actions off of it...hence the second quote.


I've yet to see how this single quest is drastically affecting the lusterenian landscape, and I assume the Admin haven't seen it either, hence their inaction and relatively low response to this thread. It's a quest with minor (argue with it all you want, but bards and scholars are minor) benefit that has some discrepency about if it favors one org over another. If Lendren wants to go to the extreme to buy and artifact JUST for this quest, then more power too him, but thank god the Admin don't cave in every time someone overeacts to a situation. (I mean seriously, he has a milestone if it's just too much work to kill 4 gravediggers and find a basket).

Until you can prove that 1) 3/4ths of lusternia ACTUALLY are opposed to his quest (it's pure conjecture and over dramatization on your part) 2) it is affecting the enjoyment of the game beyond your simple annoyance, because a lot of things annoy a lot of people or 3) it provides certain orgs with such a substantial benefit while denying it to others to the point that it's imbalancing the game....then I don't forsee the Admin changing it just because some people united in a thread and called the Admin names (or in Fain's case, insinuated he was biased towards Mag and is more interested in his opinion than his job as an admin).

Unfortunately for you...the only one you really would be able to prove is 3, and as CULTURE stands right now...you can't. I suppose you could go for 1, but I imagine a true, unbiased survey of the entire Lusternian population would probably result in 75% of people not caring.

To me, the most annoying thing isn't the bard and scholars, it's the nexus broadcast, it's just adding more spam to one of the spammiest areas you can be in.

As I stated before, either on this thread or another one of the numerous threads regarding TBC, why not just remove the 'only the org that raises Globglob can get scholars' portion of the reward? You do the quest, you get an honours, annoying propaganda at each of the other nexii... everyone's happy.

I don't really have any complaint about the TBC except that there's no real motivation to get it running if you're anything but a Magnagoran. Though I don't mind hearing about the taint from whatshisnuts, it does get old after the first few times and so I find simply moving away from the nexus to be a good solution. I guess it would be nice if when a Celestian, Seren or Glom got it running he'd start saying how great the Light, Lulz, or the Wyrd was.

Other than that, can't see what the fuss is. No, leadable mobs won't follow you if the center is running for an org other than your own, but it just isn't that hard to find something else to do or get a group together (with other orgs if need be) to solve the problem.

Clearly Seren, Celest and Glom need to find themselves some Loyalty Soupâ„¢ and feed it to Globglob.

I have a five-step solution to the problem.

1. Have Alchemists invent gunpowder.
2. Give gunpowder to Casilu.
3. Hope TBC is destroyed in coming wave of violence and mayhem.
4. ?????
5. Profit!

rofl. That is win.
