- Please no drama, no toxic stuff etc. Respect each other. Let everyone play and enjoy.
- Respect legacy of Solace: roleplay.
- Strictly follow ALL RULES.

Consider clans closed for now. Write a role indicating you'd love a certain clan; you might be inducted at some point (don't worry about your level).

Coming soon: a solution for solo mages level grind. Multicharring is NOT allowed (see above about following all rules).

Cheers!

I was trying to be helpful, and thought it was an easy thing to change anyway.

Although i am null in english grammar i think moongate is more suitable because it is a verb. Moonwell is on the other hand more noun than verb. So it is in my opinion  better to use 'gate to' than 'well to' because 'to gate' is verb and 'to well' is probably less used in english. (?)

PS And my comment is not so important to make you say 'blah' Smiley. Only the opinion of imms counts. I am sure they appreciate good intentions like yours. *pat Valeria*

Not to continue this (as I am Smiley  ) but actually, neither gate nor well are typically used as verbs.  Both are nouns, and the use of gate as a verb is actually somewhat constrained to MUD use where we use it often (I have seen the word "gate" as a verb once before, but it was more to indicate confinement - e.g., He is gated in the house -  not travel or passage, seemingly the opposite!).  However, it is not unusual to have common nouns "verbalized" if you will.

My original thinking was that when I cast Moonwell, and then was asked to whom I wished to Moongate, I thought it odd since I have never seen that word in Solace before.  So I suppose my intent was simply consistency with the actual empowerment cast, not so much its grammatical (or colloquial) usage.

But more importantly, I was able to chat with you a bit.  Worth every second!  Wink  Good to see you around!
