Title: Lore!
Post by: Blaidrug on March 11, 2014, 01:39:38 AM
So! Question for all those who are listening. Noone? Too bad!

I'm still slightly uncertain as to how I go about lore and RP related storylines in the server.
So far, I've mostly explored the land, farmed, and played the minigames.
While that's all fun, I'd like to build on my character. The wolf of the forrest needs building!
... and that actually sparked ideas for a rewrite of my book, but I digress. I'll get back to you on that.

The way I see it, it's mostly through inter player cooperation.
Problem with this is I feel a little lost. Sorta not feeling as though there's any place for me to try and jump in this rich narrative when Blaid's a relatively unknown in the world.

There is plenty of ways to go about story writing. You can, as you said, cooperate with other players, or come up with one by yourself. Me and Obi will tell you first hand that some of the best story's are done without any planning, it just sort of happens.

We were all unknowns at some point... the only way that will change is if you start to become known :)

I've said it a bunch: Play the character, not the game. That's really the best starting point. When you're interacting with others, that's what begats that narrative, and before you know it you'll be caught up in it.

Totally! The best way to get into the lore is to jump right in. If you're wary about that, and want to be lulled into things, try messaging somebody (either in TS or in the forums) who has a character that appeals to you and ask if you guys can plot something out! Once you've started it's hard to go back :P
