Why must it be an all or nothing approach? I really don't understand why we must insist on drawing lines in the sand when we, as capable and competent adults, are able to understand what is acceptable social behaviour and what is not. Any sort of philosophical extraction can of course be used to arg...

This might be a silly question but...do you really want rape to be a part of Illarion?

I'm assuming thats 250 total magic skills and 50 attributes between intelligence, willpower and essence.

Move the society to international waters.

Move the server to international waters.

Um...wow. Okay, lets get this straight guys. Yes, rape and torture and all the most kinky, evil, grusome etc etc acts should be allowed and there is no logical reason why they shouldn't be. I understand that people who would be offended by this should be able to distinguish fiction from reality, and...

And a sex change too.

We need to make our presents known.

Gave me a chuckle.

A quickness fell upon Verdazar, a singular focus that took ahold of him as his purpose drew ever closer. He lent down and in a single sweep cleaved the demon's head from its shoulders. Even in death its eyes watched him intently, the burning fury of its god still pulsing within it, as the tainted bl...

@Sir Gnar Except that isn't a very helpful attitude and it doesn't acheive anything other than pissing players off even more. You lost, therefore you deserve to have all that time and effort you spent on your character tossed down the drain, isn't an attitude that fosters a heathly co-operation betw...

I think you are right in saying a lot of it is down to the severity of loosing. It's not that clouding is a rarer event these days...its that it is a thousand times more severe these days. Nevermind 4 hours, a bad clouding can set you back weeks of tedious grinding. Back in the day it wasn't nearly ...

When was the last time that a significant IG conflict was resolved entirely in game? (i.e. without anyone crying to the staff or abusing OOC to get ahead) This has never, ever, happened in the entire history of illarion. Does this not seem like a major problem to anyone else? A problem that somethi...

I find it highly amusing that some of those asking us to consider the Temple's past in these affairs were, at such a point, members themselves. It also seems rather ironic to me that some of those who say that Templar can never change are, again, former Templar. Or is it only that those willing to ...

For someone who does not value our opinion, you do seem to spend significantly more time focusing on our rule than on your own. And yet it still stands that you do not understand my words. I am not chastising you for having done little for Bane, I am challenging you to do more. Perhaps if your rheto...

Rather Fooser, how things go from here is up to YOU! The people of Bane did not elect you to lament their shortcomings and the poor state of the town, but rather to lead them to better places. It is hardly inspiring to see one such as yourself teary eyed and bemoaning all those beautiful things you ...

I'm painfully aware that if there is ever going to be an (even remotely) complete and accurate account of the Temple's history I'm going to have to be the one to write it.

Death needs to and should have consequences. The notion that somehow someone who is so emotionally invested in his character that he will rage quit when his character loses one or two skill levels and a handful of rare items but won't care if his character loses the settlement he had spent months/y...

I actually think that ingame conflicts would be better served by a revision of the PvP and Death mechanics in the game. Getting ghosted, particularly for an experienced character is a terrible experience and can wipe out weeks (and I imagine for some months) of hard work and dedication in a single b...

I think one issue to keep in mind is that currently loosing =/= interesting roleplay for the character but = not being able to play that character at all. Essentially if you are not winning (or at least not loosing badly enough) then you are either dead or sitting in a locked room twiddling your thu...

deleted some spam To the topic: it will be ever harder to play a char with a real ethic no matter if good or evil. There wil ever be ppl which avoiding playing with you, or complain about you. thats the price you have to play if a neutral char or a char with a pseudo ethic is to boring for you. So ...

I think the term 'bad players' sums up our concerns quite well in this situation. I don't think anyone in the temple is a bad player, and those who have been in the past have been dealt with accordingly by the GMs. However this attitude that assumes that just because the characters we play sometimes...

A small boy runs up to the town walls, his legs propelling him as fast as they are able, eager with the promise of coin to take home to his family. He hurridly pins a small note to the walls and runs back to the south, disappearing amongst the overgrowth of the forest. We're going to delcare War on...

Let us get a few things straight before we rush off believing every little detail of Mr Varrin's account. He takes every opportunity to disguise a little truth amongst much hyperbole and deceit, using our name to excuse his own cruelty and failures of rule. Tyrannical jailing and the creation of th...

You ignorant fool. You still think that this is Troll's Bane at war? This war is between the Temple and the rest of the island. The island marches against you, not our town. Anyway as we had write we will see any person who stands in Trolls Bane these day at our enemy. Some of our weapons cant diff...

You tell me to leave Bane on the one hand, and then berate me for not staying to protect it. You say you would have no voice to speak, if you hadn't been allowed to do so. You say you are unable to speak your mind, and yet you are doing so. You decry that Bane is at war, but do not blame those who ...

Ever was I misunderstood. For years I have walked in darkness so that others may live in light. I have fought with tooth and nail and blood for Gobaith, many times over, and yet never been applauded for such. I have been subject to the vilest deeds of cruelty from many groups, all in the name of ri...

And so it comes to it at last. The Bearers have dropped all pretense of peace and shown themselves for the warmongers they are. I had truly hoped the ignorance and hate that fuels the Bearers would have burnt itself out by now. Though it seems such hopes were but a fools dream and old disputes cann...
