Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Ehem*

If this sounds cliche it is absolutely... Well, it's my fault but I refuse to take blame for it. >_> Here's the dealio.

I thought of this idear here the other night.

The Game is a fairly newer system that has been going possibly for a couple months. It is run by using thought process. This is what I've gathered. ninja Now, with every new system there comes a time when hackers and or viruses try to invade it.

A hacker invades The Game with a character implanted with a self-made virus that enables them the power to avoid something. Give them an extreme edge. Well, they cause problems for... What ever reason be it for kicks, revenge, crashing the system, etc. But these are bigger problems. New monsters created by the 'viral player', kidnapping server mods, player killing, messing with the system, etc.

Beyond that point... I'm not sure? >_<

... <_<' Details can be changed. I thought I'd just throw it out there. *Was pretty much clueless when she was thrown into this guild thingy*

Actually, Dawn and I were considering the fact that Zephyr (or rather, the set of twins that control him) is a hacker--as he sometimes tends to know far more things that he should and I have no other reason as to why...>>

So uh, I guess if Glacia accepts that idea, we have someone to blame. XD

Edit: And yes, Souyu, that does sound like a good idea.

Personally, I think it would need some kinds of limits, and to not look like the hacking from old movies; also, I think it would be wise to give people who might be suspicious of that good reason to be suspicious--private planes, I would imagine, probably crash more often (by volume) than airliners, so it's not exactly like it's unbelievable, and people who try to break into things that aren't theirs without good reasons tend to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. xP

My only plot idea so far has to do with sentient or near-sentient AI, and is probably better left for later...

I have a few ideas, if you will.

Excluding the Cliche: Real-People-In-Game thing, there are a few things you can do with this at a later date, maybe even for some quests, here are some broad ideas for now:

A Creature created in the game that can gain levels like players, and has now grown so powerful the server has decided to make it a very rewarding quest to put this monster down (it could even look and imitate a regular player).

The Game could be growing so much that bits and fragments of data are spilling over into other organizations that play it, for example, many computer programmers may use "back doors" in order to play the game at work while no one can know, but what if they left those back doors open? It could be very interesting as bits of random monsters and data spill over into some important companies computer, is recognized as a virus, then they have to shut down some major commodity.

PK's actually form a guild, and these guilds have the balls to start going after server admins, and literally close off certain area's.



But if you did want to do something like .Hack, then you could have certain mystery areas that have no purpose now, but later, they could be very important.

Including special events like valentines day or Xmas is somthing almost every Online game does, so include that if you haven't already.

These are but a few ideas i have, i'll post more as they come to me.

Yes, thats what i mean, not administratively, but kinda keep areas as their own territory.

Alright, fair enough.

But another plot idea could be factions, meaning, some believe that the game should be policed because of people PKing and whatnot, and they don't believe the Admins are doing enough of a job of protecting peoples characters, so they create their own faction. And another group of people believe that this group is being too harsh, and is sacrificing the freedom of the game, so they form their own group.

Somthing to think about.
