Clarification

Unfortunately I never got to make any proper introductions or clarifications because I was immediately sidetracked.

First off, let me introduce myself. I am Col. StaR (that's Colonel StaR), and am the leader and original co-founder of DesertiaRP. Stingwraith, myself, and other friends started Desertia almost 5 years ago, and since then, I've led the independent community, even after Stingwraith left to embark on his own endeavors.

I came to HGN at another chance to create a great RP experience. I couldn't have done anything without the network, and I'm glad to be here now.

Before anything else is stated, let me clarify some obvious confusion of this ambiguous category.

1. Stingwraith
As I stated before, I continued Desertia after he left to fulfill his own project. He left me and a few others in charge of the community, and left us the reigns to it.
I want to make it clear that we are in no way stealing Desertia, but rather continuing it. If you have your doubts, ask any of the previous admins or Stingwraith himself.

2. AnimeRP?
No, it's not Anime. God No. I've seen how Anime RPs, and I was glad when it was over. I have no intention of doing anything of that sort. My Japanese is rusty anyways.

3. ZStan: We've changed.
I remember those times too, and it was pretty bad. I can't say that it was the greatest point in our history, but the majority of the leadership was in on it, so it was almost impossible to get rid of all the powergaming/anime-stricken "RP" that they were conducting. I was relieved when we solved that problem, and I can assure you that that will never happen again so long as I am watching.

I remember that you never came around to see us afterward because you followed Stingwraith into Olden (from what he recalls). I wouldn't trust your very limited experience with what the actual RP had/will comprise of.

For everyone else who has yet to experience Desertia's true RP offering, we hope to open the server for private Betas and an official public release sometime soon.


That sounds rather interesting, I have to admit. I'm not sure what to think of the picture, besides the fact that it's in the desert with a man who is obviously well armed. Would you mind telling me your Steam Friends name?

So this sounds like HL2 RP on a desert planet.

You got your Combine (XEN and associated factions)
And you got your Rebels, better yet SUPERNATURAL REBELS.

:3

Oh, Welek, just give it a chance. Hell, I don't know much about it, but it may turn out good.

I use to play this back in good days, It was a great RP, So don't kill it and throw stones before you try it.

Yeah, I'm pretty much on the fence until I actually play it. I'd also very much like to talk to Col. StaR over Steam Friends about it, just out of curiousity.

No, Welek. This has absolutely nothing to do with HL2RP, (Not even the conclusions you drew)  You obviously haven't read the Mega-thread so here, just for you, the tl;dr version: Close Endeavors are a PMC group hired by XEM (Businessmen in charge of Desertia's mining and other things) Who are used as a police force to protect the Miners and other Commoners. The Entanglment are Psychopathic terrorists attempting to dismantle the Desertian infrastructure and economy. Killing whoever gets in their way (Think of them close to the Monolith)

Also, if anyone has any questions StaR and i are working on this together so i can also help with your questions.

Alright, well, can either one of you give me your Steam Friends name?

Apparently, you're offline, so once you come online, do you mind if I ask you some things? It just seems quicker and easier over SF.

Since someone here not mentioning names decided to delete my post.

tl;dr

combine vs monolith rebels

change your factions up make it less generic Rebels vs whatever. we all know the rebel group will be dicksuckers only and XEM will be filled with minges. Reminds me of Half life 2 rp already.

If you don't like it, Dont take part. Pretty simple.

How about it's not going to catch on if it's a dumb generic roleplay. I like the backstory and such, I just think the factions need a reworking to be less Rebel vs power with civilans getting killed in the middle.

Welek,

Trust me, I've played this game, It is completely not that. You should try it once it comes online. You'll find your opinion to be different.

Maybe, from what I see now it looks like Generic Hl2 rp with a few factions changed and blackmarket reworded.

Welek, why do you hate everything.  This is actually a good idea, Im not really into sci-fi stuff, but Im willing to give this a try.

I just hate anything Rebels vs whatever it's always turned into shitty rp.

Good god. Welcome back old friend. Anyways I hope this works, and doesn't turn into a furfest. Expect seeing me on the server.

Oh and do you still have the old content packs or are we starting from scratch?

Best roleplay of my life

I'm sorry to hear that, but unfortunately most RP has an antagonist group that can be defined as "Rebels"
From HL2, to STALKER, DarkRP, HaloRP, and even Desertia.
A group like that is as common as a chatbox.

And ZStan, hello again to you too.
I will guarentee on my life that there will be no fur-faggotry in Desertia.
And we will be starting from scratch (again). Await a bit for the content and server.

Pawx, I'm glad to hear that you're interested. If you're willing to try, we'd be willing to as well.

After thinking about it, and all the good times I had on the old servers. (Even though I was a jackass *cough*)

I am in full support of Desertia, I hope it get's finished before Crussaria actually.

Its about already finished, dummy.

Oh, right..I was testing it a second ago.

Furries will be shot, and then shot again.
