Admin Announcements / Re: Transparency - Player Bans
Last post by Nokteronoth - Aug 10, 2026, 08:06 PMSymbolic Gesture has been banned from the server for using RL slurs. I will note that ignorance isn't a great excuse here - They used the term 'Darkie' to refer to a Drow, specifically because of their skin color. There are so many other examples you can use from lore that don't touch on that. They tried to claim that they were Australian and didn't know the racist connotations of the term, though that's where one of the main, widespread uses of it was in reference to the Aboriginal Australians.
Under rule 2, we ask that you all show respect for one another. This means being cognizant and careful of the diction you use. Some things can be forgiven, such as misgendering a person on accident, or using an obscure term that has gained different relevance - Directly using a word or term to insult about a person based on something they were born with and cannot change is not cool.

Last post by platinum01 - Aug 08, 2026, 05:23 AMQuote from: SpacePope on Jul 23, 2026, 03:06 PMFor HIPS: the main reason is that while you're stealthed in party, if people can't see you, they can't see your text either, and most prefer being able to RP emotes and such that are seen by the rest of their party member over thinking their messages can be read while they can't. At least that's the reasoning I remember Fox giving back when that was implemented, iirc.
Isn't that what Party Chat is for? Couldn't Quest Chat be used, as well? Just curious. Before the See Stealthed PCs script was added, I used Party Chat while HiPs'd when I needed to communicate.

Last post by awakeninfinity - Aug 08, 2026, 01:36 AMI was thinking on the Discord meme of B3 Arabel Sewers and an idea hit me for Adhocs; why not have a selection of easily adjustable areas for adhocs for places like deeper in the sewers and forests around Arabel/Yulash; same could even potentially be done for the underdark. If memory serves, that's the biggest difficulties in running an adhoc is custom building an area for it, no?

Suggestions & Ideas / Upgrade Lightning Peak
Last post by falchions_and_cunning - Aug 07, 2026, 09:42 AMThe pitch: Lightning Peak feels strange as a T4 dungeon when compared to existing T5 and T6 dungeons. Demons, Mariliths, and the like feel a step up from creatures populating some dungeons that are even higher in tier, such as gnolls and bullywugs.

Last post by SewerGoose - Jul 23, 2026, 05:21 PMTo add on to the talk about why HIPS is the way it is, please review our roleplay rules on stealth which includes Hide in Plain Sight: https://wiki.cormyrdalelands.com/en/roleplayrules
In essence: Hide in Plain Sight is NOT invisibility. It allows you to break line of sight while observed, but per server rules you will still be seen if you make zero attempt to actually hide. This includes but is not limited to: Using Hide in Plain Sight to 'vanish' into a crowded city street in the middle of the day, sitting in HiPS in plain view of everyone with absolutely zero cover, etc.. Stealth is currently how it is as a limitation of the game engine to, in part, put these rules into practice.
So please, bear those rules in mind and remember that just because someone mechanically can not see you it does not mean that they realistically cannot see you.

Last post by The_Mother - Jul 23, 2026, 10:51 AM@IronGauntlets oh don't get me wrong! i am under no impression that any building or scripting is a simple matter and i am well aware that all the builders and scriptors and DMs are vulenteers... things take time... and they should take time and personal matters take priority :D

Last post by IronGauntlets - Jul 23, 2026, 10:21 AMThere's a lot of things that could be said about these requests, but I will only answer to the one relevant to the role I hold now:
Building the world takes a lot of time and all of us are volunteers. Sure it is old and could use a lot of touch-ups as well as some excitement added into it, but in the end, it takes someone sitting down and doing all the work while balancing every other part of that builder's life. Have some patience, it's not a quick process and much of it takes a lot of hours of manpower just to do. Things are being redone and rebuilt. We want the world to have life breathed into it as much as anyone else does.
