(RP) (Discussion) Expedition?

[Vor]

So, for the last few weeks I've been mulling over an idea for an old school, fully role played, expedition to explore the new lands when the expansion comes out.

Obviously this wouldn't be for everyone. It would be conducted (as much as we can) in character. I'm thinking over 2 or 3 nights (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday?), camping/eating/talking whatever during the in game nights, spending the in game days exploring the new lands, gathering the new resources etc etc.

Sure. It's nothing you can't do on your own much quicker. But this isn't just about looking around the new areas. It would be equally about a solid, old school, role playing experience like from the the heyday of Grd, BoC, -V-, DoT and countless other guilds that are sadly no longer with us.

So yeah. This thread is just to talk about the idea really and see who is interested etc. Once we know numbers (if anyone is even interested) and the release date of the expansion, we can talk about finalizing things.

I would love to get in on this - my RP characters have been sadly neglected for years, they're due some attention!

 

[Barian]

Could mebbe be organised at the daily meeting?

As an intro to RP for the RP virgins amongst us?

 

[Vor]

Good idea Barion. Will bring it up Saturday.

Yeah. Magic gear would be fine I think.

Sounds like a good expedition - but I'm not sharing a bed roll with anyone!

Sky Captain says: IS THERE A TENTATIVE DATE FOR PUB 90 RELEASE?
Mesanna says: YES WE ARE SHOOTING FOR 29TH OF SEPTEMBER

So it looks like the release date is 29th of September. How long after release do you guys think we should give it before running this RP expedition?

 

[whiterabbit]

[Vor]

I'm thinking at least a week after launch. Say Tuesday the 6th & Wednesday the 7th of October? Let bugs settle down etc?

 

[Barian]

Let bugs settle down etc?

"Features" ..... not "bugs", "features" ...........

 

[THP]

maybe have a pre look on test shard for a evening... easy to do a character copy to test shard... maybe o for a couple hours sneak preview?? one evening

 

[THP]

On a Side note .....wonders what the Elusive server births will be this time... not that normal folks will get a dibs on them ... was the amazing flamestrike holes i believe for SA?

 

[Alex"Drake Iron Heart"CS]

Love the idea, I am up for it

 

[Dash]

I'm game. Will be nice to get back into some old-school RP!

 

[Vor]

Awesome. It's looking like a 29th launch still. So once that's confirmed we'll hammer down a date for this!

 

[Sir_Bolo]

The devs now announced that the expansion will be published on Europa on October 8th.
(29th is just Origin/Izumo)

 

[Dash]

So, with a couple of days to go, what's our plan?

 

[Vor]

Hmm. How's Tuesday the 20th sound for folks? Gives us about ten days for any bugs to settle down, folks to get patched up etc.

 

[Dash]

It's a date!

 

[Jonathen]

Oh! Global release snuck up on me there... 20th sounds good!
