I was aging up but it started getting weird to outpace people who are technically 5+ years older than me
-
I age up every damn birthday, and am now the oldest man on the grid because I pass everyone. Lol.
-
Iāve been doubling up and aging two years at a time whenever I remember to just to make up for the difference. Sometimes, Iāll be asked a timeline question and have to reconcile with the fact that Lark is way too young for something to have happened 10 years ago or whatever.

I have that issue with Aleksei, especially with the fact that his son is also aging every IC year.

I have a note in my Evernotes thatās just āimportant Arx datesā and one of them is Fitzās birthday, so I just have the IC year there I can compare to the current time.

RE: auto aging, it was not something simple to code, and didnāt want people aging out of what were important roster chars before the gameās 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 laterā¦

I do some convoluted shit where I look at the unofficial wiki to go back in time to what Victusā age was at game start, then compare that to the Tyde Rebellion and the current time. Itās probably wrong, but heās in his 40ās so heās 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.

@Dreampipe āā¦the Mourning Isles mostly scandinavian type climates in the north to more something like Guernsey or the Isle of Jersey or other Brittany style isles in the south.ā - lore Climates And Weather Of Arvum

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 āpeople may have a different real age than the one on the siteā I have assumed I am one of these eternally youthful sorts, PROBLEM SOLVED.

The time ratio.
Donāt 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.
Iām 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 Prestonās 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 likeā¦ a list of all the languages, and while Iām not saying they need to hire a linguist to invent all these new languagesā¦ I must know more!

@sao and @Roz, maybe @Narson (I donāt 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 havenāt seen any of them, especially Narson who Iāve known for years, se what they know OOC on an IC level.
-
@Jennkryst you can request with that question! Staff will be happy to answer stuff like that.
-
@icanbeyourmuse I did some more digging and searching for terms in my clue list, and it looks like theyāre all safe.
ā¦ 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 donāt 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.
-
@sao Justā¦ Noah posted an ad for ācome teach me languages!ā so I did not want to accidentally go āSure, I know these languages, which include HIGH DEMONICā or something like that.

@Jennkryst itās ok, Noahās no fink
