o7 rest in peace, uncle roy

I always thought it not being soloable was strange. The second part that needs more people has a warning and is optional. The actual quest is easily soloed with any class.

There's chainmail in the starting vendor I'm pretty sure

I think whether someone is inherently 'good' or 'evil', you always have methods of rising up. Whether you become beloved or you play the game and rise up through cutthroat politics, there are so many ways to do it. I think it's very unfair of you, hollow, to say that people are being immature by wanting narrative conflict and calling their idea of it stupid or inappropriate. Conflict /is/ the basis of a good story. It's in every story. There is always a conflict. But I think the setting of ticker square is fine as it is. It's a status quo which could be easily transformed by player initiative into whatever dogma they wish. Just have to take risks and not be afraid to lose your PC, and focus on creating a solid narrative and environment for everyone that is enjoyable and interesting. What I've noticed so far is that a lot of people really don't actually care about doing that in this chapter- it seems to me that there are a few who have taken unique initiative to create interesting plotlines (Hervis Cross and Royland Blacks are two I can name that have really stuck out to me) but for the most part, people seem more interested so far in just being adventurers and becoming more powerful, which is fair. I think it's an awkward time for the setting. Long-term PCs are building up their power bases and making small moves. Groups and factions and ideologies are being established. Enemies and friends are being made. The social structure of the server is still being molded by player action. My word of advice to those who want more conflict is to create it themselves and let it naturally form. I think it's very intentional that ticker square is kind of a neutral hub right now. I mean, from an IC perspective, we don't really know how long this entire little society has been operating. We know that there are the old masters. We know that the nobles of the Peerage once ruled over the entire ring of 99. There is shadowed history that holds tension just in itself. And as players, we are not native to the city. We are still falling into place and learning about its history. I have no doubt that over time, there will be more conflict and separating ideologies/factions that create interesting stories and tension. For those trying to initiate stuff like that, bravo to you and keep it up!
