I started playing while the was all going on, but I liked how its working atm. And I think @latoksinned is right about people being too passive, and I believe this is the main reason the Chancellor is what it is now.

RE: Closed Door trials should not be encouraged
I agree with @shonmann.
@stevelichman said in Closed Door trials should not be encouraged:
As someone present at the last open trial and the most recent closed one, I understand completely why the DMs made it closed.
The little audience participations dragged on the last open trial for almost 2 hours, after which both the DMs and the participants were massive drained and exhausted IRL. You need to remember DMs are people too and sometimes they just don't have the time or energy to deal with that possibility.
While I see your point, I also think that could be dealt with IG. Like placing guards and city officials to control noisy audience etc.
I don't think everyone should be allowed to actively participate or have a say on the trial, I just think it would be fun to allow people to watch what's going on, its usually quite entertaining and can lead to reactions or plots (like people rebelling, trying to rescue the prisoner etc) -after- the event. -
RE: So let's talk about cheating and why it happens (no pedantry please)
@mr-moloch said in So let's talk about cheating and why it happens (no pedantry please):
One issue is, you grind when you're bored and not roleplaying. I don't quest often when I'm really playing because I find repeating the same few quests people do over and over because they "pay the best" IS a damned grind! Its awful.
I prefer to quest by doing quests I've not done before, or often, and I like to roleplay on them and interact with players and I don't CARE if my buffs wear off; I'll enjoy the challenge.
If I log in and don't want to "grind" I decide its time to take a break and play a new game for a bit. I got caught in at trap like a hampster wheel.
I love the "doing different quests" thing, you can really RP your interaction with the environment, can lead to something fun and more unpredictable.

How about areas that spawn random mobs and that gives xp/hour you stay on it? Exploiting the system, ex.: standing still there with a group, would be DM punishable.
It could be done in dungeon areas, like forests, stonelands, swamps, down ruins, etc. Deeper dungeon gets higher lvl spawns. -
Old player coming back.
Hi, I'm an old player coming back to Arabel.
I've been having a nice welcome, and I'd like to say it is nice to have this server still running around alive all these years. Thank you everyone, vets and rookies. Eager to see you IG.
