A rebooted MMORPG

Wow this got so much more attention than I believed it would but this is good! I'll have the OOC up as soon as I get on my computer (on my phone currently).

I see a lot of you discussing posting issues and concerns that revolve around activity. I have a few ideas how to fix this we can discuss in the OOC but for now if anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them. For now I'm thinking as long as people are dedicated and keep the intention to move forward individually there shouldn't be too many problems. I've noticed a lot of activity drops when people begin to rely on the GM alone to run the RP and give them purpose when players themselves should find something to drive them in continuing. Because this world is created to be so massively expansive everyone should feel comfortable in designing landscapes and settings, creating characters and stories as we go along. I also think if we don't get too caught up in the little things we could easily establish a story and get the RP going. I don't like the idea of a posting order because as you might tell I'm all about the individual and not having to be in control of everything. What do you guys think?

Also what characters, if any, do you guys think you might want to play? Are there pieces of technology or aspects of your character you feel need to be discussed? Say guns for instance, I imagine flintlock would be okay but others tend to enjoy pure sword & shield fantasy.

Edit: apologies if I messed this post up. I did it from my phone and for some reason it has strange spacing but I dunno if that is only because of my phone.

A rebooted MMORPG

Welcome to Kingdoms of the Sky Online, a massive online world where players will be placed within a virtual reality environment and face gaming in an all new life changing experience! You will hack, blast and cast your way through hordes of creatures varying in shape, size and ferocity. With the all new SYNAPS combat system the player will be able to feel the reality of combat against creatures never before seen in this light. Set in sky kingdoms floating high above the forsaken labyrinth carved in the planet's entire surface, the entire globe is a dungeon filled with an endless amount of foes impatiently aching to meet you. With the server being run by the famous Artificial Intelligence Gaia, the computer allows for an infinite number of combat styles, far more character customization than ever before and a never before seen infinitely expanding skill list! Join us for an adventure of the century in the world's first ever Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online game!

The Story.
A game known as Kingdoms of the Sky Online has been launched, the world's first Virtual Reality game. The Company that has released this amazing adventure announces exactly one week from the launch date they will hold an amazing in game event, either this information pushes you over and you decide to purchase the game or simply you had already planned to and finally saved up. For whatever reason you entered the game, you did so on March 1st 2017 the day of the event. At the time the event was supposed to begin, players wait patiently for an announcement that never comes. Confusion begins to set in when players realize the log out function has been disabled. The following message was sent to every inbox.

"Greetings player, welcome to the fantastic world of Kingdoms of the Sky Online! We thank you for your purchase and want to inform you that your contribution will not be in vein, you have been entered in the most amazing event to ever occur in human history! Kingdoms of the Sky Online is now your new world, we hope you enjoyed your time in the game so far because you will now be of permanent residence! As most of you have probably discovered the log out function has been disabled, don't worry about your real life body its existence is pointless now since you are here. A few changes have been made following this glorious event, you will find the respawn function is also disabled. Death in game means death in real life, monster AI has been increased and a new real-pain indicating system has been introduced allowing you to experience the world in a more realistic way, isn't that exciting!? Again we thank you for joining us on this new adventure and once more, welcome to Kingdoms of the Sky Online!" The Roleplay will begin exactly two days after this message was sent, allowing everyone to move past the initial shock & awe period while allowing them to build a very small base for their character.

The RP itself will revolve around a specific guild, our guild, comprised of many players aspiring for different things but with one goal in mind - to conquer this game. You will not be required to stick as a constant party but it is encouraged to create stories for your characters and attempt to forge real bonds with the players behind the other characters. This Roleplay will only be as good as the players allow it to be.

So I attempted to start up this RP a few months ago and due to a variety of scheduling conflicts and such I was forced to let it go and others continued to drag it along but not long after I had to leave, it went under. I am here today to revive it and possibly do it better, I'm going to change a few things and with the fact that new faces will appear (hopefully), maybe they can toss in some excellent ideas/interests that can help elaborate the world. I do have predetermined information for this RP involving locations, events, stories, etc but this is all subjected to change depending on the group that provides interest.

A Few Things to Note: (because people don't usually read the whole post)

• Characters and the classes/abilities they can use are created by you and ONLY you will be that class. This means you will for once be able to create that fantasy character you wish you had. Almost anything you imagine could work here.[/*]
• Since this is an RP we will not be focusing on leveling up, experience or other such ideas, instead we will focus on the more RP aspect of it. Many things can simply be implied or generally accepted.[/*]
• I REALLY enjoy making my ideas work and allowing others to collaborate with me, I do not run an RP like a Nazi and hope each member will present themselves with enough respect and intellect so each one of us feels like we created this.[/*]

Since this is my first attempt at a reboot, I'm not sure what information I should add. If enough interest is shown I'll toss up an OOC and we'll move from there. Hope to get this going! :)

Naruto: a other world

Hmm.. count me as a maybe. I had an idea for an RP similar to this but slightly different, I'll stick around and see what becomes of this.

Marvel RP?{Low-Mid Casual?}

I have a decent idea for a character, just curious on what others are doing. But before I go full into making it, I had a few questions:

- What kind of power would you prefer they have?
- How is the world around us? Does he have a global police force and rule the world as a whole or does he allow warlord-type villains to own the land?
- Are we ONLY going to be on the earth?
- How do you envision us starting out?

Marvel RP?{Low-Mid Casual?}

I'll jump on board, dunno who I might use though. So give me time to figure that out :P

[Intchck] Virtual Reality MMORPG!

Yeah this sounds cool, question how limited are we as RPers to introduce things into the world. Say person 1, 2, 3, want to just suddenly have a battle with an epic or boss monster. Are we allowed to simply create a dungeon and its contents on our own or do you feel uncomfortable allowing people to will areas/towns into existence? I hope that makes sense...

Superhero rp

I'd be interested in a sort of Watchmen/Kick-Ass type RP where we don't exactly have powers more just people. If others would want powers that would be fine too, but I wouldn't want to be in a team where everyone has about 6-7 powers. Everyone's power stems from a different background or base (mythological, scientific, genetic, etc.) and then you build your character's story alongside others while we somehow make each story intertwine involving an overall plot?

I'll be lurking this thread, seeing what comes from it meanwhile.

Naruto rp, anyone?

What do you mean?

So far we have what, the continent is in a war? Come on guys lets get a real setting down?

Naruto rp, anyone?

I'm considering focusing on a summoning type, sort of like Jiraiya or Hanzo were? I'm not one for Uchiha. Are we going to deal with more Canon or OC characters as enemies do you think?

Naruto rp, anyone?

Maybe we don't need to focus on the Canon as much considering their generation is coming to a close?
