Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah I noticed that too. JD and I are talking and he's going to talk to some others about getting affiliations. We're not looking into another restart, since that's just asking for issues, but instead looking into other things while doing what we can to preserve what's already here. I personally feel, however, with the lack of activity here, as well as a couple long-standing members pulling out, that things really need to be worked on.

Well, yes and no. There are a number of things that can still get ironed out, simplified, or possibly removed altogether. I noticed that you had joined the Pokemon Hidden Legends guild, and I'm taking a couple pages from there and aiming to implement them here. A perfect example is the EXP system.

I don't have all the things that could use some work listed or thought of, but I can get around to things as they come up.

I like their EXP system better. That's why I was moving towards that instead of a word-based system.

I was in that guild a couple years ago, and ended up quitting due to inactivity and loss of interest. I know the Captain there is a great person, especially with the massive amount of stuff that goes on in that guild. Ours is but a small speck compared to their inclusion of all the regions and species, not to mention some of the events that happen.

Not to mention that having all the regions would mean that each player would be themselves, and there would be the great potential for mass confusion and long-distance friendships, and various other assorted things that can go on. I don't think I can handle that large scale of an RP yet, but it's possible with the right crew. I like story-based, and I was getting practically nowhere when I was in Hidden Legends. It's a cool place, but I just felt a little lost and ultimately alone.

I was actually wondering something about the last iterations. Was JD and Ninten the only ones active in the ones before this, or was it those two and you? I know Igny probably fit in there somewhere, but four more or less active members could have gotten somewhere with the story. Still wishing to find closure for what happens if the game is actually completed. Would it be too dangerous to release to the public, or would this be the first SAO system in this universe's history? surprised I gots to know.

I've got an invite from Pokemon Hidden Legends as well(Even accepted it), but haven't really gotten the chance to look at it(Partly because they sent me a generic welcome to the guild message, and totes lying about it being a personal one). Last I checked, most of the crew were active, although tons of members were still last posting since March. They've still got it going on despite that, so yay that this guild probably isn't doing another reboot? When we get in the game anyway, I don't see why any replacements can't just pick up where the last one left off. It would save the whole mass death thing that happened the first time.


sweatdrop Yeah, I actually said green hair and brown eyes at first, but then I changed it cause your character profile said what I wrote. I'll edit it in a second. Glad you brought that up though, cause you and Tyler described him as having blondish hair, even though he's got brown. Might be the shadows of my fc.

It's really just something to keep in mind. Won't really matter once we go in-game though. The fun part will be finding out who's who.

And I've noticed. Quite a few people currently in this guild have come from there actually. I don't even know where to start in that guild. Was actually hoping the leader would respond back to my Pm when she gave me her "personal" welcome, but nope. I just know I wanna make a coordinator to get used to playing Ruby.

To answer your questions in order: Yes, JD and Ninten were the only players actively making progress, and there was another (forget her name now), but she ended up going MIA, and things went south from there. I showed up now and again to see what was going on, but I had basically stopped after getting to Petalburg. Ingy (now Intox) was Captain at that time, and she'd been offline for a couple weeks due to school and life happenings. If we can get to the end of the game, then we'll find out what happens. I've got a couple ideas for that time, but it's likely to change based on character interactions and relationships. I have to agree with you and any replacements that come along, we'd have to debrief them when they take over a character from someone else. Like if Wes's original player had chosen to leave, and we got a new one, they'd have to be informed of what's going on and why/how.




I ended up leaving there two years ago, I mainly felt lonely and gradually became uninterested with my character. Things got monotonous and repetitive, and things came about in my life that drew my focus from RPing over there. I don't even know if my character profile is still up in Hidden Legends or if the Captain took it down because I left.

Yeah, totally huge place. Still trying to find my way on there, but gotta really process the mechanics there beforehand.


Did you ever post a reply to Luke? Can't really talk to Tyler without it, since that would be kinda rude.
