Le Prelude!

New Terra Online, or NTO, the most famous MMORPG in the whole world. People all around the world play it and it quickly escalated to the top of the lists in just a few months, thanks to its versatility and constant updates that keep the game interesting, along with a great attention to what fans say and write on their blogs or in the official page of NTO. Known for almost always granting the fans' whims, one of them thought it would be a good idea to suggest something jokingly, 'If only we could live in New Terra'......

You were a common player, maybe even a boring person. Maybe, the only thing you could brag about was about how powerful your character in New Terra Online was. At least, you were. One morning, you woke up in a foreign land, wearing clothes you had never seen before, or maybe you had. Desperate, like many others, you started wandering about and, in a lucky turn of your head, your eyes posed over a mirror, and there you saw it. Your face. Maybe, it was like yours, maybe it wasn't, maybe the sex didn't even match, but the one returning your gaze through the mirror was that. Your New Terra Online avatar. Many panicked, others remained calm, others saw it as an opportunity. That's what may have happened to you, anyway.

The new inhabitants of the world of New Terra Online soon found out that there was no logout button, or any other way to get out at that. They did notice a lot of changes, though, after figuring out the mechanics of the game all over again. The game had given them an option to re-make their avatar, to look more like them or to at least adjust it to your original height and sex, as well as the option to restore their abilities and levels to one all over again. While many discovered that the re-design of avatar was a one-chance opportunity, they also discovered that they could reset their levels and classes in-game as many times as necessary. After all of the interface discoveries, the players finally focused on their environment. Every server was the same as always, the servers being divided in 5, for each continent of the world, with Asia being the most prominent and famous, mostly because Japan is where the NTO HQ is located. In each one of the servers and in every main city of them, appeared a new building, The Church of Prayers, where people could go and pray. They soon discovered that the church was a way of contacting with the developers of NTO, and somewhere they could ask for even more updates, though they wouldn't heed the prays of people asking to go back to the real world. Apart from that, they discovered that uniting all the five servers in a rather convenient way, an isle had appeared. The Island Of Departure. The name itself was suspicious enough, and, when players decided to explore it, they found out that the bridges connecting to the Island were guarded by powerful bosses, which made them believe that the whole island was extremely suspicious now.

They were curious. The Island of Departure may hold the key for them to return home. Still, not many were up for it. They didn't know what would happen if they were to die in that world. Many cowered back......

Six months have passed. You've been trapped here for half a year, and finally, the Liberation Group, the ones trying to clear the Island of Departure, has amassed enough people for them to challange the first boss guarding the entrance. However, problems don't end there. A group, opposing those from the Liberation Group, has appeared. The New Terror. Changing one of the letters from the title of the game, these people want things to stay just as they are, saying they don't need the real world, and impeding the advance of the Liberation Group.

What will you do? What do you want to do? Stay in the game and live happily ever after in a digital fantasy? Or go back to the real world and return to your daily live rather than being trapped somewhere where you might die at any given minute? The choice, is yours.....

Prelude, finito!

>.< Hello people! I bring you this, so we can roleplay! So, I was thinking that this RP will be character and player driven. You know, people can make their own races and classes, and lots of sub-classes!, along with the abilities that come with them. This RP wil be set in, ta-cha-cha-chan, Japan! Here we will be using a half GAIA project-esque approach, where the country in-game is divided to half of its real size. Of course, players of other countries who were in the Asia server at the time, will remain there, so you can have a different nationality if you want.

I decided that in every dungeon, labyrinth or things of the like, I will be putting up a chart on the OP or somewhere else where you will be able to see the drops, monsters, quests and events you'll be able to find on said level. Some events may only be triggered by especific classes or with especific requirements which may or may not be disclosed, so keep an eye out for that! So, you can be a member of New Terror or the Liberation Group, or neither of the two, if you want that. Those little details may also help you trigger the different events and requests set across the island.

So, thoughts? Questions? Suggestions? Feel free to share whatever's in your mind! As I may have overlooked some details about this idea, so I'd appreaciate the help.

Peg me intrigued.

I would like to join.
I have some questions and suggestions
You said this is a combination if log horizon and SAO, since SAO has no specific classes, why not use log horizons class I have a link to the anime classes here.

Also what are he races, what type of weapons armor, animal, vehicle( is any).

I have a lot of ideas, PM me or we can talk about it here if you want any if them.

:P

Yay, interest! :D

Anyhow, @Loki, I do plan to have all of those, ya know, vehicles and mounts and whatnot, those will be set and I may add some on request, but the races, classes and subclasses will be decided by the players. I will put a limit for the number of races, though, as to not have too many things to remember and so on, maybe 12 or 16. Still, some standard classes would still help a lot, y'know, so players know what to expect. And you can post any ideas here, so that we can all read them! ;P

OK, that's good to hear, in exited for this to start.
As for ideas and questions , here is some

Since I'm assuming there will be guilds, events, teams, items, stuff like this, what type of stuff are we talking about, How will the items or armor look, will it be more Sao like, of more futuristic, like guns and etc.

Count me in Sao was a great anime and the concept is awsome

The whole game in general has a modern-medieval look. Like, they look medieval concerning building and armors, but clothing looks a lot more modern. We'll work details out when we get to the OOC, IF we get to the OOC. xD

Color me interested. I've been looking for an RP like this for awhile

Let's hope we get to the OCC. :P

One question; with both Log Horizon and SAO as inspiration, will you be leaning further one way or the other? SAO has that edgy, dramatic survival aspect but not much else, where Log Horizon is less focused on everybody dying and more about living in the new world (that may have sounded a bit biased, but that's because I... kinda am >>; )
Which way will this RP go? Death game or building a new society?

The two factions, if you want to call them something, are both of those aspects. The Liberation Group is the part of 'We want out from this Death Game' and the New Terror is the 'Let's build a new society here!' Though, it is still uncertain if it is really a Death Game or not, everyone is too cautious as to let themselves die. But if you want to know so badly....!

I shall play berzerker

Will we be allowed to make guild in which we can invite others RPers to join? The only problem with that is we need a lot of players.

Yeah, of course you could do so. If we get more and more players, of course. :P Feel free to invite your friends to come over!

Interested. :)

I'd prefer actually dying though. I mean, having the possibility to die. Would make people more rational with there actions and not be reckless and whatnot.

Believe me, you will still prefer not being reckless. ;P But that comes on later on the RP, so let's not spoil things for later, shall we?

But being reckless, in a way, is part of playing tanks and berserkers. Oh well.

Well, people, we've gathered a total of 8 people, counting me on that, what do you think? Should I go ahead and make an OOC? Or do you want to work on the details some more here? I can throw a CS your way if you want, to start on your characters.
