Even more story ideas

[TRX]

Hi all..

i took the time to read all of the ideas posted here.
I started mxo one year after beta, and ive seen a lot of good ideas here comparing to what i loved about MxO.
When i started the game and joined the recursion server, i wasnt a roleplayer at all, due to the fact partially that MxO was my first MMORPG.
The first faction i was in didnt really roleplay also.
But after playing a year i got more involved in the storyline, and started to roleplay more and more up to a point that roleplaying was almost the only thing i did.
So here to what my reaction is to all the ideas here.
About the story being written, i think best would be 2 writers, and 1 involved as to bring an opinion about it. i made player events as well, i wrote the story and made the idea but with someone else. To write alone and also make it happen is to much to do alone.

I have to agree with the opinion that Live events is what made MxO different and special, and im in fave of bringing that closer to the player.
I hated to miss out on those as i live in holland, but the few times i actually got on niobes team or real interactive meetings with those characters are things i really enjoyed doing, and never forget. It just makes you feel you played a part in it, and it made it fun.
So a step in by one of the mains once in while apart from the live event helps.
It can be very essential as i remember ps10n had a meeting alone with morpheus in the beginning and it made him always remember, in relation to his own char.
The unexpected things are fun.

I remember trying to set up an alliance between Zion factions and in one of my meetings with two other captains, a mach picked up the convo and barged in wanting the information we were talking about, wich resulted in a fight, wich was cool, besides the fact it was between players. So that kinda interaction by actors would be welcome in my opinion.

Now i think theres a difference in Main Roleplayers and made up ones like for a short period.
I do think though that they would have to be good, and its maybe an idea to keep the storyline from the actors, untill the last moment.
And to not totally rule out everybody applying to play a role, like made up temporary ones could be done by folks who dont play a main, but are good as well for a small role, but didnt make it to be a main.
But i think if one playes a Main or big role then you play that part, and no other character, as barloke said.
You gotta be the character and not have anything else.

The idea to make a suggestion box for a side story, or idea involving story
is a good one for those creative minds.

The best thing about MxO in my opinion, was that at some point you would have to work together, as players but also as orgs, and that last thing got less important in a while for a lot of folks, allthough some kept that spirit.
And i always loved how open and helpfull the comunnity was to each other or new players.


I think a mix of missions as well as taking forum information to bring that in to the game was rare but good. It makes you being busy puzzling stuff, or getting information needed to continue.
With this element, by having to put effort in searching and finding information and be the first to know as a player is fun and you can earn some respect for it :-)

Anyway i see good ideas and and potential good improvements.
Keep it up folks
