      RE: auto aging, it was not something simple to code, and didn’t want people aging out of what were important roster chars before the game’s story really took off, and also when magic was in the thought was that there would be ways for people to not physically age anyway so having it configurable would still be the play.

      Seven years of beta later…

        I do some convoluted shit where I look at the unofficial wiki to go back in time to what Victus’ age was at game start, then compare that to the Tyde Rebellion and the current time. It’s probably wrong, but he’s in his 40’s so he’s practically ancient.

        Also is Maelstrom still the size and climate of Ireland? 'Cause I think I was told that like 5 years ago but I also might be making it up as headcanon.

        Ask me about professional wrestling.

            Maybe we all just forgot how to age.

            Maybe the whirlpool was the fountain of youth and you people ruined it.

              Ever since I saw the @bb that said ‘people may have a different real age than the one on the site’ I have assumed I am one of these eternally youthful sorts, PROBLEM SOLVED.

                The time ratio.

                Don’t get me wrong, like 90% of the time I prefer it, but it was harvest time the last time I was playing regularly and that makes me feel bad.

                I’m the crazy person who still misses 3:1 time.

                So you want Preston to kidnap Fitz into the Faith sooner?

                  Preston wants Aleksei, not Fitz. God. Already too many elves in Preston’s life.

                    I am trying to find out if any of the languages I know are supposed to be SUPER SEKRIT/will get me killed for advertising that I know them, and also my inner baby Tolkien nerd needs like… a list of all the languages, and while I’m not saying they need to hire a linguist to invent all these new languages… I must know more!

                      @sao and @Roz, maybe @Narson (I don’t know how much he knows about languages) in my experience are very knowledgeable about all things Arx and could probably help you know if they are secret or not. I haven’t seen any of them, especially Narson who I’ve known for years, se what they know OOC on an IC level.

                          @icanbeyourmuse I did some more digging and searching for terms in my clue list, and it looks like they’re all safe.

                          … but also I should request, anyway. Ys is an IC languages MEGA NERD, so like. Asking for deets would also help play the character.

                            I don’t think LANGUAGES will get you killed but neither of my characters have the linguistics skill so it is possible there is a secret cabal of tongues about which I know nothing.

                            let it be a challenge to you

                              @sao Just… Noah posted an ad for ‘come teach me languages!’ so I did not want to accidentally go ‘Sure, I know these languages, which include HIGH DEMONIC’ or something like that.

                                        To add to this - I would love a list of languages that one can learn. It could be marked if they are secret languages and not taught.

                                        I would just like to know the common ones or the helpful ones to have.

                                          @RightMeow It varies so much on the character it’s better to ask us via +request and we can tell you what we think is appropriate, or you can offer suggestions and we can let you know same.

                                            Society of Explorers is really long, and I hate that every time I try @org Explorers, the game yells at me that it isn’t a real boy organization.

                                            I get it. BUT IT IS A MINOR ANNOYANCE.
