Hiyas,

I am seeking like-minded individuals to form a core-group for playing regularly once or twice a week, starting from scratch (Level 1, new character created).

A word of warning: If you are not into heavy Roleplay, this thread won't interest you.


Here's my idea:

1. PLAYSTYLE

Strictly ROLEPLAY. All things are done, considered, and said in-character.
OOC talk is reduced to the absolute minimum, and marked as such.
I honestly don't see the need for any OOC talk but the occasional (( afk a min )) or for organizing times, sessions and the such.
[Edit to clarify: We are here to have fun! Everyone enjoys a good joke and a bit of OOC chit-chat before and after sessions. Just during the crawls, I think it is often immersion breaking]

The idea is to play this game as it is meant to be played, IMHO: Living the adventure and spicing it up with the tale of the characters that partake, shaping their personalities, creating a story within a story together:

- take the time to roleplay things out and follow side-stories, make things up ourselves, etc.
- don't rush mindlessly (unless it is IC)
- do everything possible to stay alive (permadeath or special death-rules are open for debate, if desired)
- the goal is not to rush through the adventures and levels,... The journey is the reward!

Characters of this group are only played during sessions together.
(Unless for organizational stuff like cleaning up inventory and the such)


2. TIMES (GMT +1, Berlin, Amsterdam)

Monday: 6:30 - 10:30 pm

3. F2P / P2P (Free-to-play / pay-to-play)

I am on a free-to-play account currently. I like the artwork, mechanics and general design of DDO, but I sourly miss roleplaying among all the OOC and L337 there is. If I manage to get a nice group going I am all open for switching to a play-to-pay account and continuing.


4. STATIC / DYNAMIC GROUP?

I think to be sure to have fun a core-group of 3 or 4 is the minimum. We could either fill the remaining slots with static members or just prowl along with the core and fill up vacant positions as we go, with new recruits that may only stay for a session, or two - or become part of the core, or whatever.

I sure hope to get this going!

Cheers,
