It ain't really random, your in a predefined place and we won't all be together anyway from what I discussed with Blitz.

Races have individual starting locations or you have a big neutral location I doubt we all choose neutral so we'll be spread out, my back story wasn't actually tragic lol the mystery bit I had in it has nothing to do with tragedy of any kind.
Kinda for that exact reason, people always assume mystery means tragedy.

Mind sharing what you've discussed for the rest of us?

[PewdsRocks]

The majority of it is in this, I just asked for specifics about my character, how much my weapons weighed, what stats did, how the guild system works, teleports for major towns and so on. Pretty much all of it is in this thread already.

A good 50% of it was me bouncing skill ideas of him to decide on the 10 I wanted.

Well, see anybody that's in the neutral area! The game-game character's backstory makes more sense for him to not be in a location for his race, having accidentally killed people.

What? I don't think anyone thought there was any relation to some sort of tragic event behind your character's mysterious ways.

Not to be rude, but a few things we've brought up or discussed you've said you already talked to Blitz about partway in. Having known you'd discussed things with him would've saved everyone a lot of trouble and kept the thread smaller.  I mean, the different starting areas thing, which is a pretty big deal, wasn't even brought up until HugoLuman mentioned the randomly meeting thing. It would be nice to know these things.

So, how does the guild system work, and what's this about teleports?

[PewdsRocks]

Teleports is the same as in say WOW you have hearthstones, it's just a magic way of returning to towns or going from one town to another in a different area quickly.

As for the guild, it's been explained already all I asked in relation to it was how you handle recruitment and him telling me that you have to persuade people based on your own merit and then if you do something that goes against it later they could do anything from politely quitting to a full scale civil war in the guild to oust you.
As you would expect of real players if you lie to or trick them.

The different areas I thought was kinda obvious. Every MMO in recent history has used that system.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Cresenda Geary.
Age: 15.
Gender: Female.
Race: Elf.
Class: Blade Dancer.
Username: Cresenda.
Appearance: See my profile pic.
Appearance in game: Concealed by her armor.
Biography: Cresenda is the only child of a mechanic and a nurse, her father wanted a son and so she spent a lot of time on activities most girls would never have had any interest in.
She learned how to fix cars and could drive by the time she was 10, she played a variety of sports and went on hunting holidays and fishing trips during school holidays.
As she grew up she developed a passion for computers and playing MMO's especially, in time she worked her way into one of the top guilds on the server and took her place amongst the core raiding members of the guild and over the following years entered similar positions across over servers and other games.
In that time she was entered into various individual, team and guild tournaments and gained various levels of success ranging from crashing out in the middle stages to winning the entire tournaments and entering into the small ranks of hardcore gamer girls while doing her best to keep her personal problems and personal life apart from her responsibilities to the guild.

Some, not all.
And again, this is a forum game.
Yes, it's based on the MMO whatnot, but...
There is literally no reason for us, the PCs, to encounter each other or team up if we start in different areas unless some severe railroading happens. 
You underestimate the willingness of people in forum games to avoid plot.
Like, not even kidding, my character argued with a God for several pages in another game because she wanted to to somewhere else to learn magic - and the place she wanted to go was several hundred miles in the opposite direction of where they needed to go. 

I'm not saying it's a bad idea.
I'm just saying it's gonna take something big to get everyone together and to team up.

[PewdsRocks]

Well the game is based off MMO's I did point out to all of you multiple times it's being built off of MMO's and will carry quite a lot of MMO systems in it. My new background ok?

[kj1225]

It's better.

[PewdsRocks]

Well it's only downside will be a bigger issue for the rest of you then for me this characters personality is totally different from the other one.

Didn't you say earlier today that you didn't want to play?

[PewdsRocks]

I sorted my problem with Blitz for the most part. It was mostly a mechanics problem but he suggested ways around it. Not ideal but it works.

[WillowLuman]

I agree we should all meet up at the start. Also, I imagine that the conventions of a VR MMO that players will be unable to leave for potentially weeks would be somewhat different than today's online games.

[PewdsRocks]

The basic game wouldn't really change much it's still an MMO. They get more advanced but the basics tend to stay quite similar.

How people act in it would change a lot though.

[WillowLuman]

Might not need grinding to keep people playing, since they're stuck there until either death or the end-point. And dying to get out early just kills you.
