''Our heroes trapped on Summer Isle have been dazed and confused by what likely amounts to a very powerful spell cast by a full circle of practitioners - at the very least. At the minute after midnight this morning -- insult would be added to injury and a powerful mind wipe would descend upon the populous. Yet mind wipes are tricky spells, for the natural mind is complex -- this spell has been carefully crafted ....

(The spell will effect the last 200 years of memories of this world - but no other. Travelers will loose all memories back to the time of their arrival on this world.  They will keep all prior memories, as well as any muscle memories or deep emotional memories and connects.  So while you may not remember your new friends you've made since arriving you will feel the emotions of that friendship.

Role-play is a team sport, a shared story, and it can not happen without players dedicated to creating role-play.  The staff and admins understand that our players want seer run storylines - we really do.  However, against all effort, the fact remains that our team simply does not have seers. Players will have to create their own roleplay -- all we can do is provide a mechanical framework that simulates a living world.

If you do not choose to role-play your hunting or crafting -- that is your choice. If you do not role-play with posted [[News and Rumors]] -- that is your choice. If you do not use the [[Message of the Day|MOTD]] and Looking for RP feature to find others to RP with -- that is your choice.  If you do not role-play with the activity generated in RPCSS by Estate Owners -- that is your choice.  If you do not role-play with in-game quests -- that is your choice.

<i>For those on the main land with missing friends, the story continues ... or rather no story continues. There is no information and no one has returned. Many attempts have been made to get onto the island and return information or contact those already believed to be there.  The only item of note is that the mines of Andus have been collapsed, and no one has yet opened them up. Those of Andus are waiting to hear from Mithrandes on the topic.</i>

<i>For those on Summer Island, everything seems peaceful and they are anticipating a festival on Sunday.</i> See the update for Wednesday evening below.

So that brings us to the changes we are going to make to hopefully make the mechanical options more accessible:
 +
# We will be removing the alliances and returning to normal UO guild stones placeable by any player with a rented house.
 +
# We will be making RPCSS estates "claimable" by any player with the UO Gold to claim one. 
 +
#*Estates will start off with an increased base number of hexes, armies, and court level.
 +
#*The number of hexes an estate can control will be raised to 20 hexes to encourage more conflict between nearby estates.
 +
#*NPC Estates will also be implemented to keep the living world alive and challenging.
 +
# In game quests will be implemented over time. These will be simple quests in the style UO is known for.

(OOC Info: The "effect" begins nearly immediately when someone sets foot upon Summer Isle. There are one or two pockets where the effect is slower -- contact Lara for details if you are attempting something. By 5 mins the effect is strong, by 30 mins the effect is nearly complete. Characters will feel lethargic, disoriented, generally unconcerned about issues, and open to suggestion -- otherwise they busy themselves working or watching the clouds go by.)

Additional living world tools will be designed and implemented over time. It is our hope that these tools will provide additional avenues to spark role-play.

<i>Those in Evervale pass the word that there is to be news of a Festival for Sunday announced this evening. The Red Festival has been greatly anticipated by those who are busily working in and around Evervale. More and more men and women in red have been seen -- it must be the new fashion! The crowds begin to gather early to socialize -- most not having much else to do.</i>
 
  
−
(Status so far: If your character has gone to Evervale at any point since Monday -- they have forgotten their reason to leave and should still be on Evervale. This effect takes place quickly. The effect is similar to a mind-altering tranquilizer where people are open to exceptions and recent memories seems fuzzy. You are not obligated to have your character  "go along" with the crowd, BUT, you should be prepared for the consequences.  If you have questions, DM Lara. Additional roleplay updates from our players can be found in the #looking-for-role-play channel of our discord server.)

We use a web based games system, think of it like a multi player online game of risk.  This system allows a player to claim a castle in game, and control (virtually) the land around it, its armies, treasury and spies.  This system allows players to roleplay as the owner/lord of the estate and have rp conflict with other estate owners.  This provides a fascinating back drop to conflict RP.

They spoke of the famine that had swept the land, as well as the plague, drawing sympathetic murmurs from the crowd.  But the broad smiles returned as their speech turned to giving thanks to He who had led them safely through such hardships.  In order to give proper thanks, a festival was to be held in the coming days - a Red Festival, to celebrate and give sacrifice.

Right now RPCSS is down while we do some updates, those updates will include the ability for any player, with enough gold, to claim an available state.  So feel free to look around at the various estates on the mainland and save up your gold! The next wave of war and conquest is about to begin and you could be in the thick of things.

Hands shot up and calls rang out as the people gathered quickly volunteered for the many tasks ahead, and the robed figures concluded the gathering with a prayer before the crowds dispersed, eager to make ready for the promised Festival.</i>

<i>As "no news" progresses into the second day, people at home become more worried.  Search parties, primarily comprised of those who can magically travel, are sent to Evervale to search for the lost town folk and known heroes. When these scouts fail to return at all, the news is pushed up to the lords and rulers.  A call goes out for a gathering of land based lords at the Fair Ground this evening.</i>

(If you have gone Summer Isle/Evervale -- you will not be returning.  A sense of over riding introspection and lazy regard infuse you.

<i>Late night urgency will spread in the cities of Caerleon and Andalstad as neither queen returned from the meetings at the fair grounds.  Some report that they saw the Emlyn queen with two guards -- but no one can confirm that. Another dock hand reported seeing Queen Brea near the rune library in Andalstad.  By the wee hours, the estates of Novochebay and Carigsay send word that their lords have not returned either.</i>

<i>The travel time from Summer Isle to Cuiveinen can be made relatively quickly, especially if one has access to magical travel. Concern has swept throughout most of the larger cities and towns, as friends and family have not returned home to the mainland.  Its only a few people talking in the street as the late fall sun dips below the horizon, but as full dark approaches -- true worry is discussed in local watering holes.  No one has returned from Summer Isle -- ALL day.</i>

−
(Any who travel to Summer Isle forget why they needed to return to the main land of Cuiveinen -- all sense of urgency to leave the island quickly diminishes.  Hunting trips to Underhill seem reasonable, but no player should "return" to the main land ICly once they've gone to Summer Isle. Expect new updates every day)

It will involve a whirlwind of fun plot developments that will allow everyone a chance to explore new aspects of their characters; time travel, mind wipes, evil magicians, oh my!  The plot line will need nearly everyone to agree to play an Andal character, or by as of yet undefined means convert to the worship of the Thorn King.  We are taking a page from the recent TV shows; Carnival Row & Cursed for our ideas.

Latest revision as of 23:50, 25 December 2020

This is the auto open page we will be using to make sure everyone is on page with the Winter Story Arc. Posts will be posted with the most recent first. All players are expected to play along with the Story Arc. We have a limited variety of alternate response. Consequently, if you do not feel as if the world impacting effects posted here would affect your character -- you may DM Lara to discuss -- you will be expected not to role-play until you have both spoken and a resolution agreed upon.

Happy Holiday's to everyone. We would like to announce some changes to the shard, but before we get into that I feel that I have to provide some clear statements about the future of the shard.

Role-play is a team sport, a shared story, and it can not happen without players dedicated to creating role-play. The staff and admins understand that our players want seer run storylines - we really do. However, against all effort, the fact remains that our team simply does not have seers. Players will have to create their own roleplay -- all we can do is provide a mechanical framework that simulates a living world.

If you do not choose to role-play your hunting or crafting -- that is your choice. If you do not role-play with posted News and Rumors -- that is your choice. If you do not use the MOTD and Looking for RP feature to find others to RP with -- that is your choice. If you do not role-play with the activity generated in RPCSS by Estate Owners -- that is your choice. If you do not role-play with in-game quests -- that is your choice.

So that brings us to the changes we are going to make to hopefully make the mechanical options more accessible:

  1. We will be removing the alliances and returning to normal UO guild stones placeable by any player with a rented house.
  2. We will be making RPCSS estates "claimable" by any player with the UO Gold to claim one.
    • Estates will start off with an increased base number of hexes, armies, and court level.
    • The number of hexes an estate can control will be raised to 20 hexes to encourage more conflict between nearby estates.
    • NPC Estates will also be implemented to keep the living world alive and challenging.
  3. In game quests will be implemented over time. These will be simple quests in the style UO is known for.

Additional living world tools will be designed and implemented over time. It is our hope that these tools will provide additional avenues to spark role-play.

Keep an eye on the update thread for both RPCSS and the Shard to know when these chances will be officially released.
