Hi,
Today I gave 1000 trias and became a member of the laanx religion. Am I able to do anything extra by joining?
Also, I'm having alot of difficulty locating the following person: Murago Puntaj
Can someone hint towards what town he/she is?
Thanks
-
Now you're a follower of Laanx, he might want to give you some tasks...
And about Murago Puntaj, ask in-game. Not that hard to find anyway.
-
I've found him but I cant seem to communicate with him. He's not accepting the item i'm trying to give him. Grrr.. I'll have this sorted soon.. hopefully :)
-
Ask someone nice ingame and sure people will give you some hints ;)
The devs and GMs rather not have us give spoilers in the forums.
-
Wow. This sounds interesting, and as far as I know, I am the only one to draw Laanx (or attempt to atleast). Sorry a little ego there. Anyways, there's a Calling? Sound's like a scam if you ask me.
-
What are you on about, this was a question about an in-game quest.

I know I should have thought about this before, but 1000 bucks to join a religion? ::|

Church of Laanx, pay your tithes for the Lord brother! AMEN! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Church_of_the_Kingdom_of_God)
I was suspecting that a long time ago...
-
Uhm... how do you think most churches are build and maintained? In a lot of places donations are expected or even mandatory to be a member of that church.
-
In christian church they give donations just like that ;P noone is forced too, although if they stopped the priest would probably say few words about it ;P
Everyone needs money, but if someone is forced to pay them, then there abviously is something unfair you don't speak alound ;)
-
"Donations" were quite mandatory in previous centuries, and across many different churches.
-
Indeed. If you would pay enough money, all your sins would be forgiven and you wouldn't go to hell.
-
Of course the priests that sold absolution are probably in hell right beside those who bought it if such a place even exists.
-
The 1k tria gets you registered into The Book of Names and it may increase your faction with Laanx

I'm sure it's quite possible IC that some smart NPCs or perhaps even a Player Character with religious background could charge indulgences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence) from the less bright people promising them that if they pay enough they will go to a much better place than the death realm, and perhaps even get 72 virgins(male or female) there, with really much payment...
What I find strange is that it is possible through the quest system to register yourself as a follower of Laanx even if you has chosen as your character faith "Talad", "Black Flame" or if your character shares a "belief" similar to the one of Richard Dawkins. Of course the answer is a bit obvious(SOON(TM)), and any person that takes roleplaying seriously won't do it from nowhere obviously, unless there is a damn good IC reason for the character to convert to Laanx religion, but that should require more than just paying 1,000 I believe. Perhaps some kind of bizarre ritual...

Are you guys so hard up for discussion about religion that you have to bump threads more than four months old to do it?
