Even more story ideas

[mixer242]

Folks, this is quoted from another thread from last year that I found interesting and I thought I put it here since I already discussed a few things in this one to try to bring it back to life.

Anyway, the post I'm quoting I agree with for the most part and hopefully spark some renewed interest in this matter. On a side note I have tried asking Rarebit for a suggestion on what we can do and i'm just waiting back on a reply.

Story Development- thread http://mxoemu.info/forum/thread-135.html

I believe that MxO EMU will bring back the Matrix Universe, and while we may not have huge numbers, I do believe the dedicated player base and tight community will return. Anyways, one of the things that will need to be worked on is the storyline. Here are my thoughts on the storyline.

1. I didn't like where Rarebit was heading, I'm sorry but I didn't. Honestly I thought the War Arc was the best arc, and was sadden when it got pushed aside for The Oligarches. I wrote out an alternative to Rarebit's direction, but I can't find it on DN1 at the moment, however it picked up right after the Oligarches left. I forgot what was the last chapter written for the game, 11.3? Anyways, if I have to re-write my notes, I will.

2. We will have to explain the gap between SOE's MxO and MxO EMU. We can't just deny that it happened, that wouldn't feel right. I guess one way to explain the gap is that the machines has blocked all pirate signals to The Matrix while they deal with The Biological Interface Program BIP, and work on a solution to keep The Oligarchy out.

3. We'd also have to write about things happening in the real during that time. The machines and the machinist could do a strike on The Oligarchy hideout, with Cypherites helping. Meanwhile Zion and EPN could sure up their defense system and offense.

4. When MxO EMU comes online, we could start writing a new storyline, and the offline era could be the link between the old and new storyline.

5. Please no more "Villain of The Week". If I was writing the storyline, I'd concentrate more on the interactions between the orgs, and the org's leaders. Also, keep it at a level where about 99% of the storyline is accessible to the player. While things do happen in The Real, The Real should be a minor part because "The Real" is not accessible.

6. Bring back the War Arc.

7. Have more than one writers. One person cannot write the entire storyline, it should be a team effort. "

End quote.

Anyone else want to comment on his post in this thread or use the old one and bring that back from the dead like we did this one? lol
