Also, a GM Q&A was held on January 31st, 2015. The GM team assembled in our server TS channel (ts.lotc.co) and talked to the community about some things they had questions on. Listen to it by clicking here.

Here are a few things I've learned since being back that I think you should be aware of!
For a short time, the community of LotC believed that the antagonist for version 4.0 would be lizard-folk (some even rumored the Elder Scrolls' "Argonians" as this unknown villain), but in September of 2014, Zarsies unveiled that the Undead would be returning (view that post here). Having been dormant and inactive since their defeat at the end of Aegis (LotC 1.0), many players were happy, and anticipating this infamous return.
However, due to a belief that the old style of having a single antagonist is outdated, the Undead were removed as of February 2015 (post here).
| War, War, War! |
As of recent times, there seems to be a big craze for war among the denizens of the current world, Athera. With the threats of the Undead gone, the elves have risen to a state of civil war, with the High Elves of Haelun'or leading a crusade against their "impure" kin. Read about these warclaims and more in the War subforum.
As a long time member of Lord of the Craft, everblue2er101 has held several staff positions, including the Application Team, Lore Masters, Media Team, and Forum Moderators. Some say that he is most known, however, for his popular LotC trivia questions. For quite a long time, everblue has posted trivia questions on the forums, facebook page, and most-recently, held trivia contests such as the Trivia Blow-Out.
It is now, though, that this veteran of the server is finally leaving. Leave your thoughts on his leaving post here. Thanks for your time with us, everblue!

~ Featured Player: Lady_Cake ~
In a recent skin/sketch competition I held, Lady_Cake and several other contestants won rewards for submitting their work in relation to my long-lasting goblin character, Brunhyldir. Lady_Cake drew this for my competition, which I am marveled by:
Awesome, isn't it? Here is my short interview with Lady_Cake for featured player.
When did you join the server, and what brought you to it?
Lady_Cake: I joined sometime last year. I work quite a bit and thought that I could easily play games in my free time and heard from a friend that this was a thing.
What characters do you currently play?
Lady_Cake: The character that I've most recently played was a chubby gal named Elle Claire. I wanted to open up a rp shop called E. Claire's bakery. (It's a lame pun for the baked good eclair.) I don't really play any other character.
What first interested you in art? How do you make your sketches (i.e. computer drawing, pen & paper, etc.)?
Lady_Cake: Honestly money. I thought that if I could do commission and make money that I would no longer have to work a peasant life of full time baking. Then I learned that I was poop at it in the beginning but I kept sketching because it helps me with my anxiety.
I do my sketches with a tablet, it costs less to do digital than to paint and use paper. Also I hate pencils and their gritty-ness, it's like grinding teeth.
Do you have any other talents besides artistry?
Lady_Cake: I guess? I'm a fairly decent ice carver, I can do a few hula hoop tricks, and I can decorate cakes. I don't know if you'd consider those as talents.
Since the time that you first started playing, when was your "golden age" here on the server (what time do you look back to that you have enjoyed the most, or maybe is it now)?
Lady_Cake: Eh, that's tough to say. I work a lot so because of my wonky schedule I barely get to play. Plus I'm bad at jumping into conversation and joining groups in rp.
Anything else you'd like to say?
Lady_Cake: Thank you!
