The Big Question.
« on: January 08, 2014, 07:17:19 PM »
I'm sure that people have been wondering this, but the question of the day is, where are we going in terms of canon, characters, events, etc? Are we starting fresh? Are our characters as if they didn't exist? I'm just wondering how we should approach going into this new server.

Current Characters:
Abdul Sadek - Unregistered citizen, currently near City 18.
Monica Halleway - A seemingly crazy woman roaming the plaza.

Former HL2RP-Characters:
Jennifer Hanson - Former trader now involved with the Lambda Movement in City 17.
'091' - A former rogue medical unit now on the Combine Homeworld. Or is she?
Michael 'Y' Eloriga - A wanted criminal located in City 17, frequently spotted on rooftops.

I say we should RP the old city being blown up by whatever and everyone dying except for a few people which idk how that would work out but the blowing up thing would only work if we switched to a new map

well like 2 weeks before the server died the server canon resulted in ozjackal's group third eye causing a city-scale uprising and 621 disengaged the nexus core and blew the city up so you could use that as the key point and continue canon from there in a different city

but im pretty sure i heard its new characters and everything (it'd be cool to have some of the survivors of the other city maybe make a special appearance every now and then but i wouldn't want to see every single one of them acting like it never happened)

I think that there should be all new characters. New stories, people, personalities and the what not. And no body feels bad about some people getting thier old character back and not them.

wait i dont get

thats what i said when i first learned about weaboo's, furries, and bronys

I'd sorta like it if we were able to bring back old characters. Some people have a lot of history with them, and are even the reason why they play on the server. So we could just bring back citizen characters, and tell people to remake them. Old authorizations included, but no OOC item refunding. CCA/CWU/Vort characters can't really be refunded though as they base off applications. Just my thought.

Out of Character for OOC:

Never said I couldn't deal with it. Just my thoughts on what should happen. New characters are easy to make i'm just suggesting we get old characters so people who are attached to them will come back, and play. It isn't even a hard thing to do. The only effort that would be required is by the player himself. The fact that it's easy to do, and will at least get more people for launching a server will help a lot. It doesn't effect the server in a negative way really.

im talking about what you said here, if the only reason you're(aimed at anyone) coming back is that you can roleplay a character you're attached too and if you can't roleplay them you won't come back then srs rp isnt for you

edit:

ricky meant to post this but fell asleep:

04:27 - smt: ok
04:27 - smt: post ur responses
04:27 - smt: in the thread
04:27 - Ric: I'm not going to call our playerbase a bunch of social degenerates.

Yeah that's understandable, and i'll accept that it is true. People do need to know about moving on when characters die. You are right, but I just don't see any real negative effect in remaking a characters memory, authorizations, description, etc. Items are gone so there is no trouble there and, we could easily just remake only citizens. Remaking CCA, or any application/structured faction we can forget about as those can be done from scratch.

Personally I don't see an issue with bringing back some old characters. But like Raged said, it should be sparing. Me personally, I'm most likely not bringing back any of my old characters, except maybe Tekel'Pakem if I am able to. I'm don't even want to bring 211 back. I wanna start mostly fresh.

going to quote what i said earlier

its supposed to be a full reset, which means your old characters shouldnt be returning plus you shouldnt need to rely on your old characters anymore, just start new stories with new characters and roleplay with them, start completely fresh

whole fresh idea is dumb it should be based in the same universe as the previous canon was just in another city

ITS CALLED ADDING DEPTH TO YOUR SERVER
