RPG Group - Seeking Diablo RPer(s) (and WoW Note)

Part about Diablo: I don't know if Tarpman's coming back from perma-AFK, or if he's willing to do this RP again for that matter, but Diablo was a nice RP we had going along. One of our players is, for sure it seems, not going to come back, so we basically have to start over. For this game, we're only going to have a group of 3, myself included. So, I'm rogue. Tarp's sorcerer (if he's coming back), and we need a roleplayer to play as Warrior.

If you want to join, be aware that you'll have to be able to stand hanging around in Tristram and RPing for maybe around 10 minutes. :P Also, discussion about what happens later in the game or the next game is NOT allowed (basically, try to keep out-of-character chat to a minimum.) After this RP is done, we'll create new characters in Diablo 2 with a few more players.

TARP: Please respond and tell if you can, can't, or don't want to rejoin this RP. I'd like it if you would :D, but cha don't hafta.

World of Warcraft RP!: If you're into RP, and you're into WoW, play on the Blackwater Raiders server. :D It's the newest RP Server, the community's a little small ATM, but it's probably the last RP Server to come out prior to Burning Crusade so the Blood Elves and Draenei won't be so twinked out. Right now, I'm playing as Scynthia on Horde, Midnight on Alliance (I don't play her that much right now), and I will be playing Lianiotte on Horde after BC.

The Forum
Now, I know this is thread necromancy at its best for bumping it, but I felt that it would be better bringing up an old post as opposed to making a new one. Err, somehow.

This is going to be a list of people who will join RPG Group organizations in these various games. :)
What is the RPG Group? It is a group of RPG Groupers... grouped together to RP. :)
Below is a list of games that the RPG Group will participate in. If you want to apply for any of these games, make a reply and say which games you'd like to join for the RPG Group.
The IRC Channel is #ja-rpg. (I actually haven't been in that channel for a while now, since the RPG Group died, and I rolled necromancer and now I'm using raise dead. :O)

For now, we will be playing a few games while the group gets up on its feet.

Neverwinter Nights
Pay no attention to anything NWN-related! I'm too lazy to delete it.

Tell me if you are interested. We will be playing any campaign (I have the Warcraft campaign in mind, we will be playing various different characters set in the WC1, 2, 3, and WoW timeline. You'll have missions that were in the Warcraft games.) We'll probably be doing Forgotten Realms as well.

If you want to play Diablo with us, you have to be sane enough to be able to sit in one of Tristram's houses and RP for 10 minutes or more. ;)

NOTE ABOUT NWN: You will most likely need SoU and HotU. NWN Gold and Diamond you can buy for under $20. If that's not your thing (especially considering that NWN2's coming up soon,) you don't need the CDs to play NWN. You can ask a RL friend that has the expansion packs if you can borrow the CDs to install them. You will need their manuals, though, for the CD keys. (People with the same CD keys can play online at the same time, but they can't be on the same server.) If they don't know where their manuals are but they have the game installed, they can go to their NWN folder in look inside nwncdkey.ini.
You will also need the Community Expansion Pack.

This list will have games added and removed at random times. So, if you want to RP in any of these games, tell me! :)

Now, I got Plo to play with me after conjuring up some miraculous spell, so that means you wouldn't be the first to play with me. Silly me, I forgot to take screenshots. Oh well, there will be screenies in the future. :)

If you get Force Sensitive on one char, will you then get the Force Sensitive option on every other char you make on another server?

Plo: I see where you're coming from. No, it's not really accurate to the timeline that it's in; however, that's one of the reasons why we have the RP Group. If we see a Jedi running around going "OMG WTF LOLOL I R TEH 1337 H4X0RZ & I W1LL PWN J00 PLZ." we can just ignore them, as we are RPing and they are not.
Though it can be hard, especially if they are running around spamming the chat thingammabobber. Too bad party chat doesn't have its own special tab.
Though they are plenty of Jedi running around, we most probably wouldn't see them in any of the starter planets (Tatooine, Naboo, etc.) though there are a few that show up.
With this RP, we could do anything we want. (Except for breaking the rules, don't cha know.)
Anyway, I forgot to add the IRC Channel and such. Doing that now.

I'm sorry Lianiotte, but I cannot roleplay the starwarsy feel because it's supossed to be after the rise of the Empire and Darth Vader's Jedi purge.

With so many thousands of lightsabers running around all ignited, even when Vader is 20m away (m - meaning they didnt change that from when I last played) giving his "destroy the rebels" speech, it just ruins the moment for me.

How can one claim to be a jedi, when to be, or become a jedi in the game, takes the killing of millions and millions of creatures, and people,
They are not jedi, for a jedi uses his power for knowledge and defense - never for attack. If I see abunch of random people screaming "I'll pwn you for 1 R l447 00ber j3d1 m4st3r", it kinda spoils it.


the problem isnt the amount of Jedi, its where the game is set. something like an MMPORG, which is designed to evolve as it ages - should never have been restricted to a set point in the movies. It should be moved forward to ROTJ + 6 years, when Luke establishes the Jedi Praxium on Yavin IV.

So you can't see Darth Vader or the Emperor, big deal - Most of the other characters from the classic triolgy would still be there, and we could also have to original and no predictable storylines and quests. So I'll say this:

People would except Jedi to be a part of a Star Wars experience, no one however 'expects' all star wars to be set between episode IV and V. It's time the game moved on.



Quote:
A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never to attack. Unless he needs to slaughter hundreds upon thousands of creatures and lives to learn to chuck his lightsaber like a boomerang. Then go to town with the force and start attacking people...A Jedi does...
;)

Would all Matrix fans appreciate a MMORPG where there are a hundred The Ones running around?

Would all Tolkien fans appreciate a MMORPG where every other player is a Nazgul?

I suggest not.

Why? Because Star Wars, and Jedi, are sacred. Canon is everything, and what we have is a mass overpopulation of Jedi, none of whom act like Jedi. Obviously, the players who have Jedi earned them, and I'm no advocate of removal of Jedi or permadeath, even though both moves would improve the greater game.

I do believe, though, that the creation of a single Jedi-free server would show the Devs and the players the path forward.

If the non-Jedi server became the best populated server in the game, as some think it might do, it would make sense for the Devs to look into reducing the Jedi population and/or impact of Jedi further. If the server did not take off, the Devs would be quite safe in leaving the game as is.

But I wish they'd at least test the theory.


Truly the Jedi thing is out of hand, therefore I can't RP with you.
