The following are things as I, Oni, see them right now. Everything here is subject to change.
[li]Level Tokens will likely be used at levels 6, 11, 16, and 20[/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason(s) being the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[/li][li]We are planning active spawns that may give some, likely minor amounts, of experience
[/li][li]To allow players to do something more than to wait on DMs, such as NPC quests and such that may result in some experience gain, again likely minor
[/li][li]To allow players to not feel lack of advancement that some claimed to have felt with Fenmyr
[/li][li]These levels were selected due to the starting level being either level 2 or 3, and the one at 20 due to being the wall before Epic
[/li][li]Each token will have different requirements, the first one to be worried about is the level 6 token which is the following: Having a character background posted on the forums, showing the desire/attempt at RPing, and showing up on a normal basis
[/li][li]Major Experience rewards, in addition to any specific special loot/rewards, will be via DM'ed Events[/size][/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason(s) being the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[/li][li]It is the desired format to control the pace of the PC leveling to some degree
[/li][li]A reward system being developed for keeping up character journals, via posts on the forums[/size][/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason(s) being the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[/li][li]This is due to those players who go out of their way to creatively describe an interview of their character's manner of thinking and views on matters. They've gotten jipped, so often these posts are few and not very constant, to encourage more of this, we will be giving some sort of reward, likely a certain amount of XP per post or something along those lines
[/li][li]Rewards will be finalized at a later date
[/li][li]-HEAVY- encouragement to actively take part in RP be it in event or non-event and to have -GOALS- for your characters[/size][/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason(s) being the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[/li][li]As a GM, DM, developer, and player it pains me greatly when I see players not actively trying to take part in the world they play in . If your character's ideas are within the scope of their power, means, $, and such it will happen if they put effort into it. If you ever have a question whether or not something can be done do not feel Dia or I will not listen to what you have to say when we are able to give you our attention(PMs, IMs, etc. are great tools to reach us. PMs being the likely preferred outside of ingame Tells).
[/li][li]This is the reason why goals are so important, i.e. if your character wants to eventually setup a merc-squad with a base, you'll have to actively (that word again) RP it and try to work toward it. Do let us DMs know that your character is trying to do something, so we can help provide you the fodder to RP it and do it, if its within your character's means.
[/li][li]I say this out of experience. RP, make friends (and enemies), set a goal, work toward that goal, do it.
[/li][li]I.e. Ein, Malcolm, and Tolinar's Crimson Phoenix - Crow, Lancer, Mars, etc.'s Red Dawn - Derek's new Kiran - Any character's personal house....- The shortlived "Naveh's Lancers" for old Haven players...heh - etc.
[/li][/ul]
Rar....more to come as it comes into me head.
