Hi all. I haven't played in over a year, maybe even 2, its been a long time. (I did log in for a few rounds a few months ago, but lleft in short order.)
Since it's been so long, I feel like i should re-introduce myself for new players, and old members who might've forgotten me.

Who are you?

I'm Batman.



I'm a really old player, I started by just serverhopping around, not staying on any server for too long, until i found NTG, but left as soon as I found out about FRG. And have been here ever since.

Why'd you leave?
Started as work related, but turned into personal reasons after that. Mostly I, at some point, felt like I didn't really fit in with the community.anymore. However, after coming back to warm welcomes, and re-reading my old Members apps, I realize I was honestly just being dumb.

What are the pros and cons of playing with you?

Pros: I try to be friendly, and helpful. I tend to not take certain things (except certain rules) seriously, meaning I'll usually play along with shenanigans for a laugh. I'm also the best sniper on the server, and also very humble.

Cons: I tend to be a bit oppinionated. I winge a lot about certain things, and occasionally jump to conclusions which might get certain people killed when they shouldn't be.

Final words:

I really look forward to playing with you all again, old players, and newbies alike.

Back for the first time in about a year. Not sure what my name was before I left but ya I'm back now.

So Chiggle, Ban, LewdSamurai and I did BW. Chiggle ended up disconnecting right before we finished because of internet issues. Ban and I received loot for killing BW, but our friend LewdSamurai who was connected (albeit with only 2,600 damage done) didn't receive drops, and instead was just put on the 30 minute CD. I have no idea how this happened. Just figured I'd report it.

Yeah my bank has been emety since yesterday and I lost some good stuff and I dont wanna put stuff in my bank cause of it so I dont loose or mess up anything and ive been trying to work with this limited item space and its hard, So I would just like a check up on this topic as soon as can be.

This trailer deserves its own thread. Holy shit it is good. Maybe the best movie trailer I have ever seen. Enjoy.

!records in lobby to see all current record holders for:
Bloodwynd
Worm Queen
Castle
Grims
Asylum
Survive
and any further events/bosses.

Most people do this already, but it really heckles my kneckles to see people sitting there doing nothing until they get killed for basically being AFK. Isn't this item farming? If you're alive, don't be rollin' crates!

EDIT: Or, how about
if you OPEN A CRATE ON TTT
its INSTANT
No roll animation

BUT to prevent lag there's a CD on opening crates?

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but the donor spin2win is different if you're on lobby vs on ttt.

On lobby the wheel is always the same layout while on ttt it's randomized
and I'm not sure if that has an effect on what you win but it feels bad landing on the exact same spots every time

Lobby Spin'N'Win:

This is a suggestion encompassing a number of things I've seen recently. The rundown is this:

Create a few more celestial crates, similar to the djinn case. They can be dropped in the same crates that the djinn case can, and each contain a means to fighting a respective lobby boss, potentially.

For example:
Woven Crate
"The contents are protected by a thick wall of virtually impregnable cobweb. How curious."
The crate can be appraised by the loremaster, whom will send you to fight "The Widow" to find some of it's venom, or you can attempt to burn the crate open without the use of the spider's venom, harming the contents.

Dragon's Trove
"A locked chest. A device designed to burn the contents seems to be rigged to the chest, should you attempt to force it open without a key..."



Further, I recommend that each of these crates, including the djinn receive their own "Celestial Crate" category for crate progression that offer very exclusive bonuses, such as a small chance to double gold received within them, or even a global increase in coin drops for all crate openings, extending to regular crates as well as celestial ones.


The djinn case has always fascinated me, and been one of my ultimate goals on the server. I think it would be amazing if there were alternative versions with respective and powerful roles in the economy. I think that introducing these crates would spark that same fascination that I have in a lot of other players on the server.

While I'm on the same page, I'd also like to talk about pve traits and suffixes. I think it may be worth it to introduce this alongside the realms update. A weapon could have separate pve and pvp traits and suffixes, usable on events and boss fights as well as on Realms. For example, extra percentage damage on zombies. That's just an afterthought, though.

Anyway, that's all from me for now. Usually I try to make my suggestions reasonable, but I know this is a huge undertaking. Let me know what you think, Brass.
