Love of Sunlight

"tourists" are a concept in this world. the senobium has existed as a university attracting thousands of scholars from across the globe to share their knowledge (until it started gatekeeping).

the mention of foods that i am familiar with combined with architecture i know is on the other side of the globe just instantly clicked as eridia being a multicultural community. we don't need to highlight that the fall of other cities meant there were max exoduses because, through the cultural sharing, we can already tell it is a melting pot.

it's something i really love to see, especially in fantasy where oftentimes major cities are denoted as uni-cultural and monoethnic when, in history (think the city of Xi'an during the peak of the Tang Dynasty) new cultures were shared through trade and migration.

I usually don’t vent, but in my opinion this whole dynamic has taken something really important away from the community: communication and the simple joy of talking and theorising together publicly.

I’ve noticed it for a long time now. Backers get early information, sometimes even things that never get posted publicly at all, and that splits the conversation. We end up discussing everything privately among ourselves, and by the time it becomes public, the hashtag is already dead because all the excitement and theories already happened behind closed doors.

As a result, the touchstarved hashtag is often dry or already over before the wider community even gets a chance to participate.

I’m not saying backers shouldn’t get the rewards they absolutely deserve. After all, they are the ones who financially supported the project to make it what it is now.

And as someone who was there from the very beginning. someone who came over from the last Legacy and Arcane fandom after everything that happened with Nix Hydra and the Dorian, I can say that I truly love this game and support it fully and i absolutely love this community.

I loved making theories together and collectively getting excited about every new update, all the beautiful art and fanfictions that came out of it too.

But the gap seems to be getting bigger. backers who get all the updates and information, and non-backers who get very little. And with the new update, I just felt the need to say it.

That’s just my opinion, and maybe everyone sees it differently. I just had the feeling I needed to say it out loud.

I figured it out!!

Now i wanna try to make this pose!

The real question is.. why does Ais have the Same Outfit twice 💔
