Next set of Rules Changes

I apologize for talbot yet including the holy symbol and weapon. We are not yet confirmed on them, but it is likely to be a multi faceted gem and either a 1 handed blunt and a staff. I will announce when it is finalized

Will there be a new rank 4 Ceremonialist "Pantheon" ability for Visigalis?

That is also being discussed.

Visagalis: "Have you ever wanted to get cool abilities without having to be constrained by consequences? Now's your chance, follow Visagalis today!" *yawn*

Frankly I think the entire concept is really going to ask too much of players who are already finding it difficult to decide in a RP sense how the "light and dark" interact with each other, let alone the "mushroom".

Sure, my character already has his opinions on the subject, and will act accordingly, it wont slow me down.

I worry that Knight Realms is going to have to enact more OOG rules (like "writs") to constrain RP when dealing with this type of weirdness and over-complication of an already strained system.


Frankly, there is enough to work with. We just have to encourage people to get more creative.

1. That is something you should find out in game.
2. Yes you can.

I am quite happy with the allowance for players to follow Visagalis. I think it is interesting that it allows players to interpret the god in their own way and look deep into their character's personality by focusing on the aspects that best define them. For quite some time I was very confused on which path my character should follow, which took a strain on my RP. It took a lot of thought for my character to make the conscious decision to be baptized. I feel like making the change was one of the greatest decisions my character to make IG, because watching the everlasting struggle between light and dark was a major turn-off for me, honestly. I could go more into detail, but I fear that would have to be something discussed IG.

The point is I am sure there will be players who will decide to get baptized to Visagalis because it's the cool new thing or do make any combination of prayers that they want, but to imply that is the purpose of the change sounds a little unfair to me. Because the way I see it, the same could be said to those that play light and dark clergy as well. It is all a matter of perspective.

I am sorry if the above sounds a little passive-aggressive, for that is not my intention. I'd like to end this post on a happy note by sending a word of thanks to all the staff and marshals working on these changes. Thank you for all your hard work in trying to make this game a better place for all! We all really appreciate the hard work you put in this game and allowing it to grow and mature in a positive way!
