And lastly, it doesn't belong here because it is your OPINION that dynamic lore means nothing without race restrictions, and just saying "this whole idea sucks cause ARAC" is just clogging the board instead of generating new or interesting ideas. The forums in 06 were bad enough with the ARAC debates, hence why the devs made that statement.

This is exactly right... go QQ in some other thread about ARAC clans...

On topic, it would be cool to see some quests introduced that are repeatable but difficult to be able to obtain the necessary items to craft each races unique weapon mastery 100 weapon. a.k.a. moonstone for the ghost claws. make it more interesting than kill 200 of x mob tho. add a story line behind each one also, make it feel like you are not just making a good weapon, but make it feel as though you are acomplishing some great task. they are legendary weapons after all.

Can you please point me to the developer comment you are referencing where they said "We decided to make racial alliances mean nothing and ARAC clans the most common type of clan"? Since I haven't read that yet I'd appreciate you linking me to it.

I don't think you do this place any favours personally..all you're doing is causing arguments, especially giving out warning when afaik you aren't really a mod. ARAC and this dynamic lore is totally linked and people have the right to make an observation on it. Its like there being a pvp thread and you can't talk about cycling nukes because theres other threads on it

Dynamic lore, ANY lore is completely pointless when core lore is being undermined every day ingame.

EXACTLY

And Signus... 4 hours later I'm still waiting for that link. What developer statement are you talking about?

It's a link from 2007 or so, go use search.

You mean the quote from 2006, Darkfall Peek #29, 12/09/06 that states, and I quote:

Clan composition

It's theoretically possible to have an all race clan. Most however, will opt for a race / alignment compatible composition for reasons of convenience and efficiency. Compatible race and alignment make it possible for the clan to be at the same location and use the same NPC merchants and NPC guards - among other things.

Those who argue that Darkfall will be dominated by ARAC (all race all class) clans are confusing it with other games.

Doesn't that support my claim?

Wrong quote, but that quote is exactly accurate. Clans made of the same race will be let into the same NPC cities, that is indeed how the game works.

How is:

.... exactly accurate? The game IS dominated by ARAC clans, so obviously I'm confusing Darkfall, the game I'm playing, with other games right?


I searched for the quote you're referencing and I haven't found it yet. If you could kindly point me to the right direction I would appreciate it, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic here either.
