RA's Mega-Adventure pulled in over 75% off all the DMs and players; RA ran several of the threads. When he disappeared the mega-adventure lost coordination; several other DMs abandoning their game at the same time also didn't help. This left the vast majority of players stranded in threads that were going no where, and gave others the impression that LEW was not really continuing.

In other words, it lost a lot of momentum.

LEW as partially recovered, but it is not what is was. 4E didn't help, of course, but the M-A was the straw.

I have two characters in LEW, neither of which were in the Mega-adventurer or the side quests. they both were in games werre the dm went *POOF*. I am still there and trying to be active.

One character, Karl Rutherford, is in the RDI gambling, the other in Sinister Spire (group 2) and working haard at getting to grooup one.I plan on staying in LEW until i either can't or the thread is officially closed.

And in one single swoop you have given any current player disincentive to stay. Its the "Realms Shaking Event" for LEW that guarantees that any human character is now retired (unless of a casting class where the aging penalties aren't so bad) and that the other characters have 30 yrs to explain why they haven't leveled up.

I have a Human fighter that woould be pissed if he reach that age and not get any thing gained from it!

I only have a 1st level cleric there (nearly 2nd).

Wow, HM. I must say, you are the msot ambitious newcomer to EN World I've seen in a long time!

Thank You, I think I just have to much redbull in me lol

Not stay? I did forget about the age penalties but the (wizards won't mind). Remember this is a redbull induced ideal and needs twiking, so maybe we should address all this in a thread. And I was thinking no leveling up because the Lichwyrm has a thing against heroes of any kind so. And we would have to look up and see how many ctive players are still in LEW I don't think many so we not to many retirees.

In my opinion, the current LEW players and judges would not be favorable of such a shake-up, partly for the reason above. Change for the sake of it with little perceived benefit (and what is the benefit? That a failed experiment gets closure? Best to admit it was a mistake and move on) is probably not work it.

As a living world there shouldn't be a move on, people should take the good with the bad if you moved on now easier to do with other adventures and then the "living" feel is lost. And I think we can figure out a benefit to those who stayed true to LEW. Not punish all for the folly of one.

That being said, my interaction with LEW is probably going to start fading once Xir's addy's is done. 3.5 isn't my thing these days (though I'll happily continue in the games I'm in).

With the changes I was going to suggest a 3.5/PathFinder hybrid keeping all the 3.5 rules and adding some of the feats/abilities/spells from PF. And any other changes to mark the "times" in LEW as different from the old days before the Lichwrym.

I have a Human fighter that woould be pissed if he reach that age and not get any thing gained from it!

Gained the Wisdom (due to stat increases) of age. But yes a fighter would be at a disadvantage, if it were me and I saw my "new" stats as a disadvantage to the old I'd try something new maybe play out to next level but take cleric on the lvl up.

I only have a 1st level cleric there (nearly 2nd).

Would he mind aging 30 yrs overnight??? LOL

What I'm trying to say is that if LEW is a living world then to breath life into it you don't drop what happened you use it to advantage. If going 30 yrs into the future seems wrong then we should start having adventures were people try and oppose the Lichwyrm as he starts to take over (We go that way and every charater may not live 30yrs lol). Have DM's sibmit ideals about the upcoming attacks by the Lichwyrm and his followers. But don't just say "Oh that? that never happened."

I'm with you on this sg, although certain dm's keep pulling me back in.

Can't you have some story events where NPC heroes have defeated the wyrm, that way his threat has ended or something. Actually it's not a great idea but it's a way to sort of end the shadow he caused?

I have worked a long time to get my character to this level, as I was stuck for over a year without a word fr the dm of the game he was in at the time, not to mention the actual game time.
i find the idea of simply retiring the character for the sake of 'moving on' repugnant.

If anything those of us that like the LEW will have the right and privilage of continueing the games for those that wish to do so.If someone wants to leave, they can. I just hope they have the tisticular fortitude to at tell people they are leaving. You made a comment that you do not find anything happening at this time and will not be hanging out. I find that honorable. I wish all those who have left would have done that.

(for clerification of what i mean:
I wish all those who have up and left would have said they were leaving, and not just quit playing or dm'ing like many had. let me also say that there are many who had said they were leaving. no probs with them. but I have seen 3 dm's simply leave with out even sayingthey are leaving. i really don't care about the why.)

I'm with you on this sg, although certain dm's keep pulling me back in.

for game purposes, one could say that some of the effects of the lychwyrm and its armies was permanae level losses and that is why many have not 'advanced in their abilities' (read: leveled up hardly at all). that would give the ability to close the mega adventure with time xp, but not have any other xp to show for it.

~shrug~ I'll be sticking around LEW, but more lurking than anything until some DM's stroll along or the section is actually closed(which would be a shame)

 

[Rhun]

I'm going to stick with my normal method of avoiding LEW and just playing in other games here as they pop up and tickle my fancy.

 

[Theroc]

lol, Rhun, I've enough free time I can do BOTH!

lol, Rhun, I've enough free time I can do BOTH!

I know you do. How goes the job hunt? Any luck?
