Dome is unlockable, leyline inside is for some reason set to not allow people of some races to bind to it.

Is this a ley thing? If I rp for it can I race-ban leyline nodes I get added to the game?

What's the lore for race-banning people from leyline nodes? How does that function?

It's set to drow only because Nec'perya is a drow city. The current RP is for allowing non-drow visitors, however we don't allow them to become residents (ie binding). The guards stop non-drow from binding. It's a drow city, we're mean as fuck, lol. L'Obsul accepts everyone, Nec'perya is more of a lore-friendly drow city.

No i mean the leyline itself is flagged as drow only, when I tried to bind there it told me no in red letters, despite the "there is nothing special about this object" locked dome covering it. I wanted to know if this was a lore-thing or just some player thing.

And if there's no lore reason why the ley itself would refuse drow in this one specific location then it needs to be changed.

I just explained why. The ley is set to let only drow bind because the guards will stop non-drow from binding. So, logically, it's an OOC mechanic to represent the guards stopping you. It's not the ley itself, it's the guards. If you are not a drow, you are not binding to Nec'perya.

I don't wanna spoil anything for you but your explanation is not remotely applicable for this situation. Log your drow, ask around, and see if you can find out why that might be the case.

Essentially, then, there is no -lore- reason a non-drow can't bind there. I would like this rectified; anyone getting physical access to the leyline should be allowed to bind.

And I am telling you what has been the standing RP for a long time now. If you would like to change that, you are welcome to attempt to do so IC. Given my character is one of the two last remaining active leadership position PC on the island (Naltyrr would be the other that has recently logged in), that's a possibility.

You'll have to wait for B updates en masse, as usual, because it's not a dynamic beast like A.

And thank you for answering for us Tormak. But yes, plot advancements were made. This is not necessary to outline in detail on the IA threads, or in an OOC manner, however, so we'll leave it there.

The lock was broken, yes. The dome itself is damaged, but not gone.

Also, the entire server is full with restrictions when it comes to the leyline system. We either remove every restriction or we do not touch the system at all.

Ah, yes. For example, the leys you never even see (because of restrictions). Some examples being Bendir Dale Town Hall (restricted to Hins), The Temple of Corellon (restricted to Elves), Zanshibon port (restricted to non-good alignments), among many others.

So is it like a lore thing with the Ley where you can filter out specific races at ley junctions by manipulating it?

Or was it a ooc thing where people just wanted a race-gate?

Last I heard it was an ooc construct because the guards would physically prevent non-drow from binding to the node and this prevents people.from just metagaming the NPCs

If thats why these nodes are like that then it's time for a change. Luckily most of those locations are on A.

Also Kudark, read the topic. His answer is 100% not applicable.

BOWO said the same thing Nav did, only in different words. *shrugs*
At least that's how I read it.

Naiv has the right of it with his explanation same as Bob.
Regardless of what IC things are going on that is why they were like that or some still are in different places.

They should be changed then. If you can get to a node that someone is trying to hide and bind you should be able to use it.

If this means you have to put a flag saying 'do not use w/o dm supervision unless drow' then so be it, just like walking past a race gate. But they need to be functional.
