I realize this was done because melders were OP and hard to get past in raids but.. ok really. My demesne? Nerffed? Ok. I can understand the effects only happening in adjacent rooms so the melder can't just sit around at a safe spot the whole time. But really.. 10 rooms? 10? And then if we want more we have to buy an artifact. I like to think that I started playing lusternia because you didn't have to spend a buttload of money on it to have fun and be at least decent at defending/combat. I haven't spent a penny on Marie so far and she's doing alright. but really.. 10 rooms..

At least you have TK/TP, which are viable outside of a demesne. Druids though? Nothing.

Have fun? Yes! Be decent at defending/combat? ...ehhhhhhhh not so much. Anyone can be decent enough to join a zerg and help stack affs without spending much, but to be decent by yourself makes Lusternia a ridiculously pricey hobby. That's just how it goes.
Anyway, I dunno, I like that Mages/Druids are no longer such a deciding factor in which org wins the battle, but they (druids especially) should get some more out-of-demesne viability to compensate.

@Ruiku I didn't think our last IC convo went so badly thus i was looking forward to another one and what did I cut out? I stated it pretty straight forward, exactly what happened from my perspective. No I didn't include that we had an IC convo before because 1) I didn't think it went badly and 2) it was a different situation. Still doesn't change the fact that you complain about zerging and fair play and then turned to team me, who you happen to be 15 times bigger than. And according to Norns, snubbing is a very OOC thing, FYI
@Asin (who I'm assuming is Marie) whatever your intentions were or not, I hit you, you left, I continued hunting and then got jumped by Ruiku/you, how else should I take it? I really only attacked you to see if I fixed my gripping issue so I couldn't be forced to throw my rapiers again. I'll admit I was a bit bitter that you took my rapiers that first time, preventing me from doing anything but run, die or call for help, but I got over that and fixed the problem I think

Someone should define a zerg to you and not a 2vs1. Anyway, if you stir the fire, you'll get flames, no pun intended, this is why I snub people like that, cause the rants go on and on.

Actually, all I see is you being condescending and intentionally (or maybe unintentionally) misinterpreting what he says while he brings up valid points about Lusternia's newcomer-friendliness. (Sort of)
Which, in my opinion, needs to be addressed next, anyway. (Which is why I am patiently waiting for the post about the supposed combat-streamlining. Which, if it actually is good, might bring back my interest in playing.)
Since this topic seems to be read by the Admins, just a question, how far are you with the streamlining process?

It would seem to me that changing the nature of a frequently raided territory from one associated with an org to one in which only 6 (4?) people in the entire game can enemy too - or even view - is not exactly helpful from a "we should curb raiding" stand point. This is the kind of stuff that makes people fume about the admin's mixed messages. 
Further, these are now org territories where one guild has a considerable more sway over the governing than any other guild, for a seemingly arbitrary reason. BT have aspects in etherwilde/glom. Why don't they get to enemy to this territory?
Has a comparable thing be done on earth/water/nil/celestia?

The guilds also get the benefit of enemy fines for org-territory neutrality, which is no small amount funding their coffers.
