should be there!

Now I'm spoiled! I can't go back to mundane DM loot!

Correct time

Pack updated, 121 characters.

Looking for some spells like this is already on a list of things that need doing long term. Like Zool says, its part of a bigger issue really.

I get where this is coming from.

I've actually been the "Bad guy" in this regard before - but I'll run down how I tend to handle letters to NPCs.

Do I just happen to know this character? - If so, did I, personally, directly interact with them using this NPC? if so, easy to respond in a totally direct IC manner - But, check the DM forums for notes on the player/this NPC, to see if they NPC recently got possessed by an evil Half-Moloch or something, or recently had a fight with this character - Adjust response based on these potential changes.

If I don't happen to know this character -

Search through the DM forums (we have sections like - PC notes - Player posted - and PC notes - DM posted. We also have places like NPC notes, and then the applications forum) so I check those first to see if this character has been mentioned and if I can get any info.

If I can find nothing, this is where it get's complicated. Hopefully, in the player notes - PC/DM posted sections, or applications, there was SOMETHING about this character. Otherwise, I have... very, very little to go on.

I tend to base the level of "Fame" (this is my own personal way of handling things regarding NPC reactions to PCs) on how much literal buzz there is about characters in game actions. I might breifly check the bulletin boards, check the militia/other faction forums (can you see how this is taking a LONG ass time for one letter yet?) to see if I can figure out who in the game world does know them. I may even look at the IC letters forum for clues, and potentially, if I've really got a whole lot of spare time lying around, I might even check the auction board. It's possible this player character is actually selling something this NPC wants! or, maybe they are a well known smith, with epic skillz, and this NPC respects/hates craftsmen?

If after having exausted all of these things (assuming I had the time to check through all of this) I can find near nothing to guide how this interaction should go. I will check the NPC in question again, to make sure I have their general personality right, and try to respond in a way that makes sense for them. Often this will be something like - "Come back and ask when you've made a name for yourself" or a slightly more helpful "I don't really know who you are (OH MY GOD LOOK I JUST DID IT!!!) but if you can solve (insert problem here) for me, we can talk.

I mean, there isn't THAT much more I can do, without any actual information.

Is there?

You can submit plot tickets though this link: https://issues.cityofarabel.com/projects/player-plot-tickets

However, the DM team is discussing a better and easier way for players to submit them

I think that's what those apps are. When my old PC was promoted to Lord and PDK, I wrote a little blurb in an app for it making it especially clear a higher power was approving it.

I was approved in one day.

Thank you

sweet. Will do catch you on Discord when I get home!

The problem is, too, is that people are spoiled for choice even without the switch to EE. It's much too easy to find something more suiting their taste than it is to log in and oppose whatever they don't agree with, or in other cases, find servers with player populations.

Not saying it's right or wrong, I don't think there is an answer for that, but not logging in is an answer to a question itself.

Perma death has to be pre-warned, it is our own rule. Neither can we force it upon any player to take part, also a rule.

I like Perma death events when they make sense and offer excitement in the story, a good ending. But they should be kept rare to keep their spark.

Also during Perma Death events, if you die by a bug or something lame, the DM will raise you if you want the DM to.

Understandable - and to be clear, this post isn't to be critical of our admin in any way. Rather, I just think that our player base having a clear understanding of the situation is a good thing, and if there is/are any ways that we can assist in helping the move over that most of our base would be willing to do so. My mentalitity is that the life blood of our server is players and DMs (basically, human man power). And the opportunity that EE is providing to replenish those numbers is worth some inconveniances. That being said, I appreciate and respect the work that you guys are putting in, and while I can't assist on the technical end due to lack of ability to do so, if we need monetary donations or something along that line to better the process, I would ask that the DM team contact me privately, I am more than willing to donate a substantial amount of $ to assist if that will help the situation!

That being said, to the players of CoA, whether you know me or not, if you need assistance monetarily to upgrade to EE, please PM me, and we can work something out, I am more than willing to help in that regard.

Thank you to the DM team and the player base for the continued years of making this server a great place to escape from the real world grind!

I will always be ready to pounce moloch.

If I can study a certain Illithid's monocles, Etho could project the image and sound within the spire so people could still see the trial, without being there to cause havok.

:D
