Zavero Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just think of this as time to further flesh out your character rather than having to dodge fireballs, arrows, and axes. At least I pretend that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zavero Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 That makes me wonder.... how many times do we have the exact same ideas as others but approach it slightly different? I bet some stories are so played out to the immortals... and now I'm paranoid about everything I had plans for. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 My entries serve as character development and motivation. Drives their decisions and leaves motives clearly defined for the Imm's. If you read them you can see why my character is going to do, or has done a particular thing. I am sure if they end up in the graveyard you will see a detailed story of the characters life in FL.

Zavero Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Ah. At least they roll with it. I hate having to force role play just for the sake of it. "Hey, we just met but let me tell you my entire life story so you know my goals!" For me it destroys real character depth. At least with journal entries you can flesh things out and work with interaction from there. Years ago I never would have done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Some of my favorite characters RP wise...like Verch who became Korropant, Sepahoona, or Rathanous, had no real pre-aabahran backstory. They gained all their experiences, behaviors and habits based on interactions in game. Why was Rathanous such a mean sob as a lich and hated elves inparticular? As a human necro he had 1 kill, the required one. Because as a human he was abused and chased around by two elves and hated and "oppressed" by an avatar, tortured beat down bleeding and a paladin steps on his face lol. Sepahoona too, went crazy because of imm interactions. Hatched his mad schemes based on other peoples ideas. And had zero pre aabahran "history".

Implementor Erelei Posted August 18, 2016 Implementor Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm aware of the issue. Apparently something crashed in the middle of the night (.. which seems to happen when I'm sleeping. Or gone. Always) and we ran out of space because the core dumps literally filled up our disk space. So some time during the night, we ran out of disk space, and player files wrote over each other (or tried) and couldn't save half-way through a write. Which means lots of corrupt save files. I've reached out to our host to get a backup of yesterday. If you did anything yesterday, depending on the time, it's very likely you'll be reverted by at least one day. Sorry guys. I'll keep you updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zavero Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 That seems like the best way to go. Saphritael was very much like that and she was prob the most fun I've had role play wise. My problem is that it's hard to seperate the ambitions from game mechanics. My character is supposed to be this great being with plans and designs for the world. Then I get player killed and it feels like I'm just a powerless wretch. Ruins it for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit on a big RP challenge. If you claim to be the big badass magi set on world domination you have to back that up with some PK domination. some folks seem to start out with "I am the bestest" then when they die they have no RP direction to go. I try not to hold a dominate RP viewpoint until I am cruising along getting solid PK's. Then people start to fear you, and react to your ability to kill them, and it helps feed the characters story and then I grow INTO being the evil magi with the huge plans.

Zavero Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Good idea. I just don't seem to be interested in player killing much these days. Perhaps because I don't even know how to get a demon talisman, where to find herbal brew, or what equipment is good. Most of the time I'm lost in the sauce.

I rolled through three characters before I got back into the groove with my current ones. A lot to discover and find really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
