RE: Even more story ideas
First: No offense to anyone out there!
Ok, on to my ramble.
I kind of like Tornadic's idea if only because I don't know who I'd trust to run the storyline characters. There, I said it.
Personally, I'd want to be heavily involved in the story, but I don't know if I have time. And who's to even say that I'd do the story enough justice? Actually, that gave me a great idea, but I'll get to that later.
However, I agree with Cloudwolf.
I put a lot of time and energy and heart into my characters, and then to suddenly rip the rug out from under them and pretend that things didn't happen (some of which directly involved my character to act out the way he did), I wouldn't even know how to fix that. Me, I plan on picking up right where I left off (for the most part). Love it or hate it, Rare's story was the real MxO story. Period.
The only other thing I could possibly agree to was starting from scratch (still using the story characters) and trying to recreate all of it. If we adhered to what was already lain out there, well then it wouldn't matter who was "in charge" of the story.
No one can just take the reigns and just say "oh, i write teh story hai!" I think that perhaps we should vote on a panel of people to judge (who, ideally, would not want to participate in writing the story, but in the actual events themselves) and then have people submit writings of some sort and have that panel vote. It's rough, and needs some more thought, but it was just off the top. I don't think we have to really worry about storylines for some time, so this isn't by any means a crucial thing to decide.
Alternatively, if Morph is still considering providing the code for multiple servers, well then I'll just run my own with my own stories, and also participate in some level with my characters (not the storyline characters) when I can.
