Portkins' Big Ol' Garbage Bin

[Alaizia]

I have 2-3 reasons for keeping Alaiziai

1. I spent a while developing the character

2. I have spent 65$ on accurate ref. art of her

3. I really like the character and I dont really want to restart on making one ^^'

[meldin]

Port I don't see why people can't keep their characters, all we need to do is just kinda restart the post-Ermor thing.

^^^

[fordwell]

I wouldn't care about keeping the same characters but would be nice to be at about the same place in the timeline. Lol, that or bring back Ermor.

[meldin]

bring back Ermor.

For These reasons:


1. Everyone was together, making RP more tasteful. This server isn't big enough to have multiple factions, especially when only 6-10 people are on normally.


2. It give the admins a better grasp over everyone. People aren't all over the place, meaning the admins can take care of internal (faction) affairs much more efficiently. This doesn't mean admins would or should be total control-nazi mo` fos. That's actually one of the reasons Ermor fell.


3. We don't have bad blood between other factions, because there are no other factions!

[RanmaChan]

bring back Ermor.

Lol, really?

[meldin]

Totally. Though I would rather not have the admins own or run Ermor. It's too sketchy....

You aren't going to get a single faction with tons of roleplay rules working without admins making sure it actually does happen, its just not possible.

[meldin]

I mean ICly.

[RanmaChan]

I mean ICly.

Still doubtful it will work.  Regardless, the majority of the population doesn't like that system, best to just try and keep what we have now, and by that I mean our characters.

[Ragolution]

Fuck you all.
The reason I'm saying you can't keep your characters is:

1. If we're in an alternate timeline, THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE DOING WHAT YOU ALREADY DID

2. If we change the timeline entirely THEY ARE DEAD OR NOT BORN.

I am saying we restart the server right at the same spot we started the other one at, meaning not some "alternate dimension" just a sort of rewind to the start where things can happen differently.  Even if we do go for an alternate timeline, it doesn't mean that the characters wouldn't be available or doing what they already did, because that is in a different timeline entirely, in this one the characters would be freed to go about things differently.  I really don't see why you don't want people to keep their characters Port, when its obvious everyone wants to.

I'm guessing this would mean dead characters being brought back? Even if it didn't I really like this idea, gives people a chance to start again OR create entirely new characters, if they'd prefer. If not, even though I did join back in Ermor, there was some great rp back then, everyone being in the same place, worked out really well. A bit like RoE and Thorn being the main factions now, I believe, may be wrong can't entirely remember, that there were 2 main kinda groups, the air pirates and Ermor itself, again if the actual kingdom/city wasn't called ermor give me a break, because that worked really well. We COULD do something like that again. Either way I can always make a new character but I believe if people wanted to, let them keep them.

[Demonizer877]

that there were 2 main kinda groups, the air pirates and Ermor itself.

That was the fall of Ermor. Before that there were basically refusals to rp. Alot of people didn't like Ermor and I don't want to have to go back to a time where 90% of the server population moaned about lack of rp. It worked well at first but with Aceon in my opinion you have to CONSTANTLY keep changing things to make it new and interesting otherwise people get bored and leave. A map reset is fine but going back to such a quite recent time would never work. A time when the server first started would be ok because alot of players haven't experienced that but I prefer to keep moving forward. Just my opinion and I don't care whether I lose my character or not, but I wouldn't advise getting rid of the characters seeing as alot of people seem to want to keep theirs.

TL;DR No Ermor and map reset in any timeline that is Post Ermor or really far back.

This was because quin was controlling the hell out of the place, and people didn't want the mod he was gonna install. People wanted to do their own thing, so instead of RPing, they would go mining or chop wood. Even still, there was a LOT more RPing in Ermor than there is right now.

[Beano]

Maybe during the early/mid - late mid stages...then it all went quiet because we had nothing to do, then blackstar came along and piped it up a bit.

[CPftw]

Ermor didnt have such a broad interaction between so many people, it DID have RP but it was small scale like buying some meat and then stopping. Thorn and RoE time has, admittedly, more RP but it reaches more people because there is more to talk/RP about. That and the Admins are getting involved on the RP side more than Ermor. The server doesnt need to be wiped every other month to keep things fresh; it needs the event team to get working on all sorts of interesting and fun events, it needs the factions to progress more instead of stagnating in a pit of nothingness and it needs people to every now and then kill of their chars and start again.

i wasn't there before ermor but i agree

[RanmaChan]

We aren't wiping the map every other month to keep things fresh, if the update hadn't screwed up the map horribly we wouldn't be changing the map at all.  And we are not going as far back as Ermor, we are not re-creating Ermor, because people want to play minecraft while they roleplay rather than just roleplay, so what ever.

Picture the server at the time period it is now.  It is a number of decades after Ermor.  That is exactly what I want to do again, just restart at that moment to allow people to keep the characters they had either in Ermor (old people and elves/dwarves, etc), or that they created during the last few weeks.  New characters can obviously be created too.  The plan is not to go and then re-create Thorn or the other factions exactly, as people will follow entirely new paths.

ChiefOh has been appointed the new Events Master, and I am sure that with his enthusiasm and building skill we will have a lot more interesting events to stop the playerbase from becoming bored.

So our characters will have no memory of the others we have met?

Eh I think we should make up a lore that something happend and destroyed everything and those who want new characters were the ones who died in the destruction. Because firstly, I don't want to RP meeting new people everytime I log on which always seems to be the case. Secondly, I don't want all the cool shit we did to just go on like it never happend. On the other hand, it will be nice to have the Sallathor family alive again.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe Beano did something?

If we did that, we'd have to forget  or change the incident he did to get out of being a villian, doing a huge spell which destroyed the base and killed Hadrian and him.
