[OOC] ✲ Thalam Online ✲

[Yankee]

The IC is nearly finished. To any curious lurkers out there, we are still accepting~ No such thing as too many players, it's an MMO after all! The discord link is at the top of the first page as "Thalam Chat." Feel free to pop in and ask questions, or drop them here.

[Haha]

@dragonpiece@manchild Any updates on your sheets?

[dragonpiece]

Going to be posting today. Just need to transfer it over to the rp guild and format it.

Bob Helmer didn't play too many games growing up, it wasn't so to him not having the money though. He just always ended up doing sports or playing with something physical. He first tried a game at his friend's house. John was a game fanatic, he always had the nearest games and they were almost always finished within the week. John introduced Bob to a game called street fighter. It was at that moment Bob realised here didn't like games. He didn't feel immersed in them. And although John tried dozens of games none of them ever connected with Bob. Years later Bob is working making furniture. Recently he was set to get a promotion to designer. However there ended up being an issue with Bob credentials so last minute they decided not to go through with it. So Bob did what seemed to be a regular thing nowadays for him, go to the bar and drink himself under the table. Luckily John was there with him to keep him company. They drunk all-night until there since couldn't handle it. At the end they for some reason ended up buying Thalmor Online. And this started Bob to want to play it. I mean he bought the console and the game and he was going to get his money's worth. It may have also led to a name he is going to question in the morning.

Bold the section indicators so it’s a little easier to read and then you can throw him over to the character section, accepted.

@Haruharara Will edit the image size and fix the coding once I get on my PC. Hope everything looks good otherwise.

Eh?  Not sure what there is to know or what you really care to know.  I'm just some idiot who tried to become a boxer.  Was pretty good at it but like I said, I'm an idiot.  Did a lot of dumb stuff and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Got into a little accident that left me one leg short of a set.  Got a tidy sum though for it from the settlement because they sure didn't want that going to court.  Ever since I finished up with therapy I've been living the easy life with my only real problem being finding things to do to fill the time.  Don't get me wrong, it is neat and all to be able to play these games and feel like I'm whole again but that really isn't the point.  I'd play some fighting game if that's all I wanted.  

I'm in it for the occasional distraction because some devils die hard and I could use an escape.  Just what those are though is none of your business.

Looks pretty good to me, love the FC. Apparently numbers are not allowed as part of in-game names. If you're fine with the name "Thirteen," he's good with me.

Masutaka Asuka is the student council president of a prestigious academy in Japan. With the position comes jobs to make the school and the student body improve, bringing along with it stress for the poor girl. If it weren't for a video game that caused her to be curious in the first place, she'd probably keep going with her stressful job in class. She's in her graduating year and she isn't going to drop dead from the complaints her fellow classmates dump on her.

Catherine is a mild-mannered and unassuming college student with a few friends and lots of other people she cares for very little. So little in fact that she would probably let you know she hated them, if she was ever being candid. Which she wouldn't be. Some would call her socially maladjusted, and they'd be right. She plays Thalam Online in order to vent the frustrations that build up every day during her dealings with people she'd rather ignore. There exists this veil of anonymity, yet everything within the game remains visceral and realistic; killing players and mobs blind in game is all reward and no cost.

@RC3

Everything looks to be in order! Accepted~

[SilverPaw]

So, how exploitable are the Invisibility and Flight racial skills? Does using them require a resource (mana, stamina) or is there a fixed amount for the duration and cool-down of them? Or is it literally the case that it's possible to stay invisible during the whole night-time cycle of the game and that one can use flight all the time, any time?

[Haha]

@SilverPaw
Flight drains stamina at the same rate as sprinting.

The racial invisibility could technically be maintained for an entire night cycle, but it is broken with combat and has a really hefty cooldown.

[Haha]

@RC3 I recommend you join the discord.

[SilverPaw]

@Haruharara A couple more questions. What's the relationship between Stealth and Invisibility? Do they overlap? Do they stack? Does the class skill outgrow the racial skill?

Do you intend to develop more non-combat skills? I know you have some for crafting, but if I, for example, wanted to create a thief, would it be eventually possible to learn lock-picking, pick-pocketing, the creation/use of disguises etc.? Is it possible to do mining without becoming an armour- or weaponcrafter? Will there be fishing, cooking, jewelry crafting, etc. or will those not be as important as the combat encounters and the story/quests?

[Haha]

@SilverPaw Most of these questions have been answered in the discord but I’ll bust it out with some bullet points.
• Stealth and Invisibility are separate mechanics and do not overlap. Stealth is more of a reduced detection buff, invisibility is you’re straight up invis. There are skills that benefit from being in stealth. There aren’t any that benefit from invis.

• There’s a thief class, again been discussed in the discord. And if you check the google doc there should be trade skills and professions on there now.

Juliane Adelberg, a German college student of fashion design. Games are something that she got into in elementary school, and ever since, she's played them casually as one of her cool-down hobbies. Though she's started with MMORPGs, and she still enjoys the concept of them, they've usually proven to turn out into a boring button-mash and grind-fest sooner or later, so she mostly turned to single-player games. As long as it's somewhat immersive, mentally engaging, and has at least the bare-bones of an aesthetic appeal, she honestly doesn't mind much what it is she's playing. Thalam Online is a game she has been looking forward to starting not only because it's popular and cheap, but because it seems like it could hope to approach that "perfect MMORPG" ideal she has been seeking.

Well, recently, a member of the crew disappeared for 3 whole days. Devon burst into his room and found his crewmate engrossed in some sort of video game. Not to be outdone by the WEAK crewmember, he "borrowed" the set and has just begun sinking his time into the very first VRMMO craze: Thalam Online.
