Welcome to Gaia! ::

i think the mods should make new locations... new planets... no allignments just locations for players to battle and actually USE THEIR CHARACTERS!

because right now. the galaxy is small and constricting. people want to get out there and be creative and have fun with their character. either showing of by battling imaginary forces... or by actually fighting with/in co-opperaton with other players. rather than just sitting around and being ninnys talking about the force/galactic politics at some academy/thingy.

but the academy could still hold a purpose, because those that decide they don't need to take the time to train will just jump in and fight and they wont get to learn the more and more complex force abilities and what not. while those that do care can weed out the impatient kids. those who are really interested in moving up to advance their character have more opportunity to do so, and thus gain more power by advancing which can be used as pwnage.

then again... it could be even cooler if the battle threads advanced the characters too... not so much in the force, but in battle abilities combat styles, saber styles, blaster power ups. these could be awarded to exceptional players by mods reviewing the battle threads. These power ups could then be once again used as pwnage. the mods that do so could also keep the battlers in check by making sure they don't use powers or abilities they haven't yet earned.

all in all... i think that if the momentum gets built up there could be enough freedom in this guild to rival mmorpgs, and official online role plays. we can DO IT!!!

if we can keep the peeps interested... but thats where all the choicey freedomy goodness comes in with the battle locations and an actual senate committee. i see a lot of forum threads like this... where the players just get to apply and play, those threads last YEARS some times. the guild could be kept alive strictly with this in mind.

peoples what do you think?

we need to recruit like mad now to pick up the momentum needed to actually put this, and keep this in place.

I think this could be good, and I would likely participate in this once I find the time to be more active.

Ok, I'll put this to rest here and now. 3nodding

Yes, everything you have said is currently being worked on. However some of us mods work more then others, thus making it hard where to take the RP. First this is not a combat based roleplay. Why? Because the star wars movies ar not based on just action, its built on good characters dealing with problems and growing from it. Is combat inportant in a starwars based roleplay? Yes, but again we cant just tell random people to start fighting one another. For the record I spent most of my weekend (the time i didn't spend on world of warcraft anyway xd ) thinking up new plot lines and stories as well as missions and combats that are going to come very soon.

Freedom, that is a problem. Let's look at the old roleplay, If you didn't want to be a jedi you could jsut get trained for a short time then leave and be a rogue jedi....ok, how does that work? We can't control people if we give them the freedom to do anything, and people get mad if we kill them for god-moding. The best way of doing it is a controled freedom. Yes, we will get rid of the factions later as time goes on. But again we need to start somewhere.

I agree in my ways with the problems you are saying, personaly my vote for the new RP was one that the whole galaxy was at war and only a few jedi/dark jedi were left, and you had could only become a jedi by chance if someone who was a jedi or dark jedi took you in could train you. However many people didn't like that idea because they wanted the right to be a jedi at any time, thus the boring training you are commenting on.

Now due to the slow nature the Rp has taken myself and Terra Halliwell will now be doing the training in the RP. Mind you I have no problem posting 3 times a day on each character I have but I will only post with the rate of everyone else. From this day on the training in the temple will go a lot faster, and will have missions. My concern is god-moding if I take out 5 or 6 dark jedi wannabe's are they going to rp that they killed 50 men or are they going to be more in control of their characters. The same goes for the Jedi Temple, and the padawans that will be taken out on missions there.

In the end we WILL be adding more planet, more places and more missions but it does take time. Think of t this way in less then 6 months every padawan is going to be a knight wanting his or her OWN missing to complete, who is going to make those stories? who is going to make sure everything goes smooth? These are all things being worked on, and on top of that we have a hidden storyline that hasn't even been told to anyone (trust me K and Seffi wont tell me xd ). So believe me when I say it is being worked on but it takes time.

Now we are always looking for more input and new ideas for storylines and mission idea's Thus I will now open a Mission/ Storyline thread for those who wish to post mission idea's or idea for things to help move along the story. Your idea's you might find used later in the RP so good luck.

Finaly for promoting the guild we are looking into that. Finding a way to make people join without people thinking we are just losers looking for more people to play with. At this moment let all your friends know, we never turn anyone down unless we have a really good reason. As always we always love more help from members.

You know, I have a lot of literate and intelligent friends that could be a step in the right direction. Though my character isn't designed for a large scale battle field, I can confidently say that I can pull it off, and the idea does sound fun. Course, I'm not everyone else.
