      So I have been trying to figure out how to get back into CoA. My issue is that I have a very busy life and can't spend countless hours trying to keep up with plots and persue goals.

      So here is an idea I've been kicking around. I am sure there are others with a similar problem. Perhaps we should start to get together on a more scheduled basis?

      I have an idea for a group concept as well, but as long as I could get a group together to do -something- I'd be happy. What I'd like to do is log in every day at a set time for around 2 hours (Because that's really all I can spare).

      If anyone has a similar issue, maybe you could give some advise to how you worked around it? If you are interested in my idea, feel free to post here or PM me.

      Edit 3-27: What do you take me for. Of course it's an elven concept. I get off work at 2PM, so a block is available around 2:30 (3)PM PST till around 5. Extensions in time wouldnn't be possible as I'd still need to get some things done. There is also a block around 6PM PST - 8PM.

        2 hours? Egad. Hardly even enough for a single quest, or a cybor session…

          At least it would be daily and give an opportunity to work on group goals. Because the whole fun of CoA is pursuing goals and character developement. That doesn't happen without a certain amount of game time that's consistent.

            2 hours a day every day is too little? Dude you got time to do everything you want. Just write your plot or any other stuff in these times you're ig and your char has nothing to do.

                I could get excited about this type of thing as well. Look me up when you've settled on a time.

                  I believe that what you are saying is a comum problem.

                  If you just log in and try to find anything to do it can take few hours.

                  When I have like 40min-1h to play I usually log in and make a sending for anything: quests, trade, meeting …

                  Another option is to ask ooc to your dudes what are they doing. Sometimes there´s a big event happening and all the players in the server are there and you are alone in the market trying to find anything to do.

                  But I agree with previous posts: 2h everyday is a decent time to play.

                    Anything less than 4 hours is teh sux.

                      It sounds like a wonderful idea! Though, perhaps it should be done, say… 2 or three times a week, with a few more hours.

                      I could, if scheduled properly, likely find 2 times a week where I would be able to log in for a few hours.

                      Character: Wouldnt you like to know?

                          Even if someone in the concept is on longer than 2 hours. At-least it guarantee's he'll have his buddies around at a set time.

                          Lets say three people are on for 2 hours each, while three others want in on the concept but are around for much longer.

                          The three who are on for 2 hours could all play fighters while the three others would play wizards.

                          Hence wizards and their respective bodyguards, it allows the players who are on often to plot left right and center, and then bam all three of their bodyguards log on at the same time and they can get the Physical part of their plot done in that time.

                          all in all its a great idea. Best of luck with whatever concept you all happen to think up :)

                                    Let me be more precise about what times I have available. I get off work at 2PM, so a block is available around 2:30 (3)PM PST till around 5. Extensions in time wouldnn't be possible as I'd still need to get some things done. There is also a block around 6PM PST - 8PM. There COULD be extensions to this time because then I'd simply be sacrificing sleep for the next day.

                                    Wednesdays typically aren't possible due to a PnP game I go to. Also weekends I have practically an unlimited time to plot and adventure.

                                    Now that you all know what times I'm looking at, is there still people interested?

                                    I am open to ideas for a concept, but I obviously had an idea. If you know me, you'll know it's an elven concept. I can give you more details if needed in a PM.

                                          My availibility is your 7PM-10PM… so there is overlap. On occasion ( a couple times a wek) I could start earlier given advance notice
