• Inventory Split Incoming

    MassiveCraft will be implementing an inventory split across game modes to improve fairness, balance, and player experience. Each game mode (Roleplay and Survival) will have its own dedicated inventory going forward. To help players prepare, we’ve opened a special storage system to safeguard important items during the transition. For full details, read the announcement here: Game Mode Inventory Split blog post.

    Your current inventories, backpacks, and ender chest are in the shared Medieval inventory. When the new Roleplay inventory is created and assigned to the roleplay world(s) you will lose access to your currently stored items.

    Important Dates

    • April 1: Trunk storage opens.
    • May 25: Final day to submit items for storage.
    • June 1: Inventories are officially split.

    Please make sure to submit any items you wish to preserve in the trunk storage or one of the roleplay worlds before the deadline. After the split, inventories will no longer carry over between game modes.

Hey guys I'm just wondering if someone could show me something to start off for a skin for someone in the Violet Order. I've been trying to create my own but haven't had any luck. If you could please let me see an example or something to start off that would help a lot.
Thanks,
Tristan
 
I advise you imagine your character's appearance before you make a skin for it. It's not a chicken or the egg situation, you should always flesh out your character design before attempting to skin it.

Additionally, if you are accepted into the guard, you will be provided with a skin for your character. Attempting to replicate a Violet Order skin before being accepted is highly inadvisable, as your character would likely have no access to a Violet Order uniform and would be punished severely for wearing one fraudulently.

Could you please send me a link to the Violet Order description. I'm not sure if you have to be a noble or not and want to know more about it. I can't find the wiki...

Here is what the guards look like in their armour.

While I'm sure you read my post before replying to it, you seem to have missed the point I was trying to make. I was reluctant to provide you a link for several ethical reasons (In case you missed them, feel free to reread my post. They're the meat and potatoes of it) despite the image billy_dont_rage provided being publicly available. I wasn't choosing to deprive you of it as much I was trying to inform you that making a Violet Order skin at this stage is unnecessary and highly inadvisable.

But seriously. Go back and reread my last post. You seem to have either consciously ignored the points I was making or not noticed them at all. There is absolutely no point in making a Violet Order skin before you are given the special permission, and any imaginable reasons for doing so are unethical and/or against the rules of special-permission roleplay.

Yes I did read it... That's why I'm asking about information about the Violet Order... Don't I need to know if I have to be nobility in my family and other detail about it if I want to make an application???

I'm not asking for a skin I just want information about the Violet Order. Who's in it, what are the requirements, where is it located ect.

Apologies, I thought you were asking for the visual description. A mostly up to date list of guards is accessible here. IC, the requirements are rather simple. Female characters aren't allowed into the Violet Order for purely in-character reasons, and unofficially, only Human and some Nelfin races are allowed in. Even then, non-Ailor are viewed with extreme scrutiny. It operates out of Castle Greygate (Also known in Regalian as Schloss Grau Tor) in Regalia's prison district.

You would want some past experience though right? Also if my character is even approved, I still later have to than go to the Special Permissions and ask there, or can I make my special request in my actual character app?

Yeah, you have to file a special permission request under the special permission section of the Character Creation forum. A character application of either type is required, with staff approved applications not being explicitly required, however peer review applications will be scrutinised very heavily. The most advisable 'path' to joining the Violet Order that I'd advise is focusing on first getting an approved application while roleplaying actively for a period of several months so that you can build a positive reputation amongst roleplayers and staff before applying for a position in the guard. I can tell you personally that it's somewhat disheartening to see a character built specifically around acquiring the special permission as I (and many others) am of the believe that a special permission should be secondary to a character and its development. In other words, I believe that the character should not be made to suit the special permission, but played in such a way that acquiring the special permission is not considered as criteria in the character's development.

Guards aren't faceless characters. They have personalities, hobbies and relationships external to their peers. Your character should not be a fresh slate when you apply, rather you should have played it for long enough that the character's existence is not contingent on its or your OOC ability to acquire the permission.
