I for one love reading the stories on these forums and else where. But what i personally love to see is not stories being written out but stories being played out in game.

The Keepers have been toying for some time with something that can be best described as a server wide story arc. This is not an easy task when you have only 3 people working on it. We have gotten ideas, thrown them out and then re-written them and finally we came up with a brilliant idea.

Why not just ask other guilds if they would be interested in something like this. Ie. Why not ask other guilds to help build the outline - the plot and storyline and then let the end be open to all.

We have a simple working method on this. Staged events and open events. Something that can be worked on to drive the story forward but allow everybody the flexibility to throw a wrench into the works.

Additionally what we in the Keepers want to do is not have a single objective for all. Rather each guild has its own unique background and story - so why not have different goals for each guild. The goals of Sanctuary will be very different from those of IFR or the Swordwaltzers. The Keepers and the Grim would have divergent objectives etc.

The basic idea for now is to get a group of people/guilds interested. Establish a plot line and then let RP take its course.

The question is though who wants in and what will our story be.

***Note: This is not going to be easy but i bet it will be fun.

Just contact me and let me know what you need. I, along with all of Infection, will gladly help in this, and a ruthlessly evil organization should be useful! Reply, PM, or IM me at UnsungHeroXx, and we can shoot some ideas back and forth ^^

Great. I will wait a few days more for some responses if any and after that pm you all on this website.

I hope you don't mind but i prefer to keep all my game related stuff seperate from my real life.

Rosey wants in! .. Course, I think your about to kill her mistress, so.. soon as that pans out you could use that storyline as a way to link her in game!

Roleplay's what we do! If you have anything you think we'd fit into, hit us up. I'm not entirely sure what you're planning on with this, but we're always up for some fun.

I hope to do something similair, only on a more personal note. I think the idea of a server-specific lore is great. That is what I planned with my character. Certain events will happen, and I'm working hard to get them into place. I'm only level 12 now though, so I have a while to go.

I am interested in knowing what type, not specifically what though, you have planned. Is this a giant story that happens, or an ever-evolving tale?

The difference would be if you decided to get a group of people together to roleplay evil groups. In the first, the bad guys either win or lose in the end. It is what has already been decided. In the latter, they may win or lose, irregardless of initial plans. Perhaps they even lose much quicker than anticipated!

A kind of Destiny vs. Free Will question.

If hiff wants we coudl do a hutn type thing.
HE wants shiggy dead, but the guild he asked has no chance of beating her..all being WAY to low...and me being Destruction spec with an infernal is reather effective. Kind fo going screw you glass cannon...

Or Hiffy can do what he wants

I don't know how that works, really, but maybe. I don't think I'm going to be basing my character's life off of a duel in-game though.

I play that when you die, you come back, your body refreshed more or less.
and in Gurabashi, if you are in a group, you can't kill them, but you can all kill me. And if you kill her, her soul will ascend into a new body...
Way I do it..*shrugs*
Still..I liek the 3v1 idea.
