:( We'll miss you dude! Good luck wherever you go!

What about Rav?
-
I m more excited than I thought I would be now that it is actually announced!!! I expect a crash when the server is back up after the 24 hour downtime, and maybe, and I may be very optimistic here, hit a 55/55 after years during the first day…
All in all, thanks for all the work people!
-
Its Freaking Awesome Guys, well done! I hope to soon hear more regarding the new setting. I would love to get started on my concepting.
-
It has been a incredible ride and I do hope everyone much success in the future of the soon to come arabel
it is highly unlikely I will be coming back after a wipe, so I want to thank the DMs over the years and the other players who made the server so much fun for me

In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger -
"I'll be back."
Seriously guys, I'm excited about a wipe and a change. I'm hoping this will revive my dying timezone, energize the player base, and bring goodness and light to the universe.

There must always be a Rav.

Information in regards of NPC Sponsorship has been posted!
-
i checked the link, did not see any mention of seeking and aiding new players on a individual basis, something i had endeavored to do every time i logged in, when gamespy was still active that is(and had some success in that area, but since few ever made a note of the aid, and i never and would never make a record of something so self serving it will be forgotten to the past), i preferred to do things on a one on one basis, there is not enough time to deal with this NPC sponsorship, as i honestly feel there will be very few people on the server till after the wipe
with my past failures mainly as a player, it seems almost as if a carrot was dangled deliberately on the other side of a great chasm
-
My carrot will always deliberately dangle over a great chasm for you Darlene, sorry to see you go.
Bai.
Now the WIPE!!! Roll TIDE!!!

I don't think there's anything stopping you from helping people on a one on one basis. This is -one- way to do things to get DM support for a plot or faction, one I think is much better since player factions are typically much more interesting to me than DM factions. But that's not to say everyone needs to be in a faction to have plot or be involved.

I for one, am very sorry to read this. It has been fun trying to figure out just who/what Rav is, even if it has been on the back burners because of all the impending doom and stuff.
I was actually looking forward to being one of the no doubt many people who would benefit from a freindship with Rav 2.0, or perhaps someone less mysterious but no less awesome.
Thanks Dar–- you've played a big role in Both My PC's evolututions.
Hope you change your mind, pop in once in a while, see whats going on.

Love the idea of an official NPC DM sponsor system! Being part of Thunderholme Trades and Gentle's and Company, both of which where not DM factions but rather had NPC sponsors which were gained by organzing a group with player driven ideas and plots, I can't speak highly enough for the method. We moved alot of player plots and ideas forward with just a little nudge from the DMs and was a great way to gather Players together and really make them feel involved and that they were actually running the faction and it was up to them to make it succeed or fail. Sink or swim was the mentality the NPC gave us, the more risk taken the more reward given. Made us get off our asses and try to reach for the stars and was that much more fulfililng when we did succeed. The feeling of buidling something from scratch has a certain warm fuzzy feeling in the belly you just can't get elsewhere. And when it blows up in your face, yes you are sad, but it's still awesome feeling of well we almost did it! Let's try again!
As for individual scenario for a concept like Rav, I don't see why that couldn't still happpen. You don't need a NPC sponsor to help people if that is your concept for the char. Now if Rav has something specific she wanted to accomplish a "larger" goal that would need some DM support, why not just gather some players willing to be apart of this larger plot and get a sponsor if its something that warrants it. If its just a one time event than I'm sure with a little IRC or talk with DM, something could be set up for such a scenario as well. Book a puffy is there for such things. The sponsor is more for a group concept not an individual's lone wolf type playing style, which can be done regardless of sponsors. I don't get the carrot reference, what carrot, what chasm? What does sponsorship have to do with helping chars as they come on a server? Am I missing something here?
Anyways, gooo NPC Sponsors!
-
You won't -need- a sponsor to form a PC faction either, there will be means to create your own without a sponsor, and still have access to 'perks'
-
Even better, Real sandbox like abilities than! Why wasn't this done years ago ;)
