I’d like to suggest we implement an official system for claimable RP characters (like Gandalf, Aragorn, the Nazgûl, etc.) where specific lore items are permanently bound to those characters. While general artifacts can still circulate among the player base, character-specific items (like Gandalf’s Staff, Saruman’s Staff, or the Nazgûl Rings) should exclusively belong to the players holding those specific RP roles.
Why we should add this:
Breathes Life into Canon Factions: Right now, a lot of people just make custom factions. Tying powerful, bound lore items to canon characters will draw players back into the mainstream, pre-existing factions (like Gondor, Rohan, or Mordor) because that's where these major RP characters reside.
Incentivizes Roleplay: Tying iconic items to the characters who actually wielded them gives people a massive reason to step up and claim these roles. It will breathe so much life into the server’s RP if people are actively playing these characters to…

I'd like to suggest that we expand the lore items so that all the Wizards (Saruman, Radagast, and the Blue Wizards) receive a unique staff as a lore item, rather than restricting it exclusively to Gandalf.
Why we should add this:
It's Lore Accurate: In Tolkien's lore, the staff is the symbol of the Istari order. All five of the wizards who came to Middle-earth wielded staves, not just Gandalf.
Creates Better Incentives: Right now, Gandalf gets the cool gear, which makes the other wizard roles feel a bit underwhelming by comparison. Giving them all a staff makes taking on these other roles way more beneficial and appealing.
Breathes Life into the Roles: Because there's less incentive to play the other wizards right now, those roles can easily go dead. Giving them a proper lore item will encourage players to actually pick up Radagast or the Blue Wizards, which creates way more RP and…

This appeal has been denied. You were warned before any of this happened by another staff member for another incident. You can sit out the ban and I hope it will give you the opportunity to thoroughly read the rules. If anything remains unclear, you can always ask. Not knowing is not a valid excuse.

Reason for Ban: “xraying”
I’d just like to start by saying that I simply would never do this, as it defeats the purpose of gathering resources in my opinion. Have mined over 40,000 stone, and have more than 5 days playtime, and while mining can be tedious I have collected much of it for the palace being built for our faction. There is over 5 double chests full there right now and do this to help create something wonderful, I say this because there was many times where I would go out and mine until my pickaxes were all at low durability and collect all types of resources possible while strip mining, so to put in this effort and not be able to play is frustrating, I have purchased roughly 35000 worth of mithril in silver coins, from Tito. I really…

Reason for ban: I told my friend to kill himself in a voice chat during a siege
Time banned for: ever Date banned: I have no idea, like 4 years ago Reason for appeal: I would very much like to reminisce with old builds and friends I am very aware that I should not have said that in such a public voice chat, it was during a siege of thorin's halls and it just came out at random because we were just yappin and waiting for the siege to start and he said something that I decided warranted me saying kys which is never ok and quite immature. I was also just rude and terrible to people and the epitome of what you don't want on a server so I do genuinely apologize, I am sorry. I have moved o…
Hi Stalone, it's been fun to see your return to the community and the reminiscing of old memories. You've been part of the history of TOR and have made an impact on the server. Both a positive and negative one. Considering all this history, it took us a long while to figure out what to do with this ban appeal and its edits.
On your first version of your appeal, it didn't seem like you wanted to return to the community. It seemed like you were using an excuse just to come back and play some. Perhaps figuring that enough time has passed that you could simply walk in at this point. After interacting some and seeing what you've missed, you did seem genuinely pulled back into community and decided to edit things up. We base our decision on the edited version of the appeal.
Firstly, in your past few months of playtime you were quite simply a rude person towards players in the community, as you say. As a recently ex-staff member at that point, you should've known better. I will say personally, a lot of the people you were interacting with at the time were very much at fault as well. The staff team of the time dropped the ball on that, and I recognize that. Currently, the staff team functions very differently. I would argue that we've created a place in which all parties will receive fair judgement across the board.
However, despite being ragebaited often, you were still just being a rude dick. That remains unchanged, no matter which staff team looks at it. Disrespect has no place on TOR, and such behavior is not something that can be tolerated. The call in which you tell your friend to kill himself was simply the last drop in the bucket. In that same call other disrespectful things have been said regarding players of the community as well.
We believe that you definitely have a path back to TOR. However, as it stands, we don't think this appeal is that path. It feels heartfelt, but it does not feel genuine as you claim to be over grudges, but don't show this in your interactions outside of the community. Appeals exist so banned players can win the trust back of the community. It's hard to tell whether or not you are truly sorry and whether or not you've actually grown. Or if you simply want to head back to the lab, explode some players, and scream at the next ragebaiter that would come your way.
Based on all that, we simply cannot lend you the trust to enter back into the community with this appeal. You will however at all times remain a part of TOR's history and will have always made an impact on this community. Both a positive and negative one.
