Virtual Reality RP

[Cantide]

Is anybody interested in something like a dot hack, 1/2 Prince kind of RP. Where characters will mostly be immersed in a RPG style virtual reality world. Suggestions are very welcome, Characters will have what any MMORPG's have including weapons/gear, Race and Class (Mage, Knight, Ranger.) I will put my full attention to keeping things balanced with a main story 'quest' as well as side missions.

Hm. Seems interesting! Though appears to be lacking interest so far. :<

[FiroIV]

Interested, but joining subject to change depending on where this goes since game type RP's never really go far.

P.S. I blame Log Horizon for my sudden interest in these types of stories and MMORPG in general.

[Cantide]

Alright, well hopefully we get some more interests so I can start to lay the foundation

[TaroAndSelia]

Tentative interest. Can you tell us what you have in mind for the game? Will it be: Tolkien fantasy with typical races; anime-styled fantasy with strange new races; steampunk; or some other setting?

[jimi87smith]

Potentially interested in this depending on the details and if this goes anywhere..

[TaroAndSelia]

You know what, I'm going to withdraw my question. If you're using 1/2 Prince as a base, I have a general idea what it will look like. I'd start making a character right now, but I just can't settle into any one role. Do you have an idea of an overreaching plot already?

[Cantide]

Well we could do similar plot ideas from some known VR fiction. Going into AI NPC's to basic "fight through this forest, and pass through this dungeon." But those wont keep the story that interesting. I want something of a character to character based story. If you wish to start a quest that is not brought on by me then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I'd expect people to join into 'clans' or 'guilds' to work as a team to take on hard quests.

I am welcoming all and any suggestions, I rarely refuse anything that doesn't sound to OP or unbalancing (off topic issues) When I start the OOC I will have set a list of races/classes, including a map. Although if you choose you can have an original race/class as long as it's not to far-fetched (we're talking something ridiculous like a snake, or a whale.)

Since the main story will happen later (nobody jumps into a boss fight right off the bat in anything.) Everybody will start as a level 1. Basically the VR game will be brand new, nobody will have explored any of the land, and everybody will be placed in the small starting city of (whatever I get around to naming it, I am pretty certain I got a few choices)

I could leash this up and keep an eye on everything that happens, really micromanaging this into the ground, setting up score tables and so on. But I prefer to let the people use the honor system. You can't just run out of the city and kill Satan with a wooden sword and become level 9999. This is casual so I am not expecting a book on each post, But if you expect anybody to believe that you've earned what you say you have earned, you have to put it into your writing. There is no one liners, half a paragraph in a fight. And if two people decide to duel, they have to work it out on how they are going to do it, either through OOC or in private chat. Items found from monsters will match your level range, So no you can't kill a pheasant outside the city and get the buster sword.

Sorry I rambled a bit, I just had to put some of that out there, I'm willing to be as serious to this as those who are interested and try my hardest not to let you guys down.

I saw a Virtual Reality RP that was literally a Virtual Reality-based thing as in there were no limits on what your powers/classes/weapons/etc were. You just had your specific traits and custom made "abilities" which let you basically make yourself from some kind of gun totting outlaw to some super high powered swordsman or even a half-dragon robot engineer. So that could be an idea instead of restricting people to this and that?

As for a story, maybe the reality itself could be a video game that was made for a specific reason and the world itself is having issues that only can be fixed in game (kinda like Digimon somehow?)

Just some ideas, but that's my way of saying I got interest haha

[The Roman07]

I'm in if its similar to Log horizion or Sword art online. (Without the trapped part)

[13sparx13]

I like this idea, so I'm in for when it starts.

[Marshal]

=D

[Endrance]

interested... if you couldnt tell by my username :P

[Cantide]

Alright so I've gotten some good feedback as well as some private messages, and I feel I need to answer some questions in more detail. The restrictions will be very very limited, I'm not saying that you can't make a demon class, or a spiritual class. You can begin as a spawn of satan - That being said you are still going to be level 1. Different parts of the map will be mixed with steam punk, classic castles and forests, deserts and so on. There will be islands and bodies of water.

I just answered the question in a private message saying that it will be more based off of classic MMORPG's (sticks and stones) We're talking swords, maces, bows, staffs and what not, but since it has been mentioned that every class will be starting at the same level (meaning if you are a spawn of satan, and you are level 5, and a level 5 swordsmen starts a duel with you, the odds will be the same.) I was going to put an archer in that example - but ranged usually have the upper hand in the beginning of most games.

So if you guys want to come to an agreement to let there be more freedom towards characters just say so. If you guys want some steampunk characters, be my guest. (Again, your starting submachine gun (or whatever it is you wish to have) will be classed as a ranged weapon - Dealing low amounts of damage with a quick fire rate.) The point of this is to not overpower people from the beginning, making you have to go out and earn your experience among killing creatures/monsters and finishing quests

[TaroAndSelia]

All players are created equal! I approve of you as a GM and am looking forward to the OOC thread.

[Necrosis]

I'm interested in this as well.

Edit: Will there also be a real life aspect to this? As in what goes on when we log out and stuff?

[Amestris]

Sounds cool, I'm interested.

[TaroAndSelia]

Character plans, anyone? I'd like to partner with someone early on.

Undead Dark Ranger.

I plan to play as a mechanic. Not sure about the race yet. I'll go with human if race is purely cosmetic. Also I'd love to partner up early on; the last VR RP I joined slowly died because everyone started out separated
