I come and go as my life fits, meaning that it depends on how much time I have to spare.
I am one of those who would've come back a month ago had I not seen all the bugs and inactivity on the forum. To me it seems that changing the server's lvl cap etc. including making haks function was waaaay too much work for a couple of ppl who manage this server voluntarily, even though their efforts have been heroic.

Might've been because of the TZ then. Because I recall that you at times only being with my pc.

RE: Involving & being involved, breeding PvP and CoA
The setting has become better for evil but truth is that overt evil create a lot of action and intrigue, which is great for the server.
It should be tough playing overt evil in the setting but it should not be lonely, which it has always been unless you start up a team concept or on very rare occasions do something amazing like Lizard did with Raghat and that is by far easy - and he was lonely a lot of times too.
As overt evil you will have to work up to get alliances faster than you will lose them in my experience. Also getting DM-attention is super important if you want people to aid your overt evil concept. -
RE: DM censoring on the forums
Uriyel, you may be right, but I would still like to see for people at least put in their thoughts in one post. Obviously if people continue in a destructive manner it should be seen as spam or worse and be dealt with.
The current system of how posts are being removed make people question the DMs too much and end up being a bigger chore than it was originally. I've seen that over and over and I do understand the DMs fear of it becoming as you say but there is no hurt in trying it for a few months. -
RE: DM censoring on the forums
I'm pretty liberal about this. No matter how I see it, it is censoring, except when it is spam. Ppl should have their right to make at least one complaint if they want to. It won't make them less agitated if DMs remove their posts, on the contrary. The rest of the forum should be able to decipher whether their complaint is legit or not - most of us are grown-ups are we not? And if they can't they can always ask the parties involved.
Anyways, I've never had my own posts deleted but if I experienced such I would feel contempt towards the server just like I feel contempt when DMs remove "toxic" posts and I see it as abuse of power. It also makes you think if the post was legit or BS, furthering whether the DMs rly are on the right. That situation should never happen and it would not happen if those posts were visible. -
RE: CoA Discord, how to get invite
IRC is sooooo old and people are slowly moving over to discord, so why not make that the official platform?

RE: A few thoughts
I've almost always played evil, from lawful to chaotic. From long-lived to short-lived. Had the exact same experiences as you've mentioned Red Rose.
What I've experienced is that if you really want a long chaotic and most unholy and evil life you HAVE TO start up a team-concept for faster xp gain, dm involvement, protection, plotting and items. I've always been reluctant towards it as I used to prefer the freedom of my concept being able to draw in others but now I don't have the time anymore to start from scratch. Instead I join established team concepts.
Right now I think there are more evil on the server than I've ever seen the last 4 years.
My solution to this problem is to move the setting to Moonsea or change the setting so Cormyr is more LN or N, meaning no king (free Arabel) and more dynamic factions that are capable of adjusting the laws and the city's well being.
