A Land Far Away

There will be issues to be resolved, and a lot of work to bring everything into alignment. Good luck.

Cheers.

Howdy! A bit late to the conversation, but here I am. I'm thrilled by the direction of this conversation! I haven't had the time these past 4 weeks (since putting Exodus:Amn on hiatus) to put any serious time into the conversion. I would absolutely welcome the help to get it done, and bridge it to A...

Happy New Year, ALFA! May 2012 be the best year ever for you and yours.

I echo the previous positive sentiments. MaxBogs is a uniquely gifted DM, a master at turning plots in unexpected directions, squeezing players until they cry -- and then thank him afterward!

Buckle up and enjoy the ride! It's sure to be epic.

Thanks, AcadiusLost. :) My life is currently more hectic than it's been. We're packing and triaging, preparing to move house across town around the beginning of November. If possible, I'll try to get together with you to migrate these haks to Exodus within the month of October, but I can't make any ...

Completely unrelated to this thread, mentioned only because it came up here:

I'm happy to say that Mord and I got to the root of the misunderstanding, and that's all it was. Life is good. In fact, we just spent some nice RP together in Amn.

*Jedi hand-wave* Nothing to be seen here. Carry on.

Everyone agrees that if the vaults are merged, there should only be 1 PC per player...so just make it this way. This is simply untrue. Stating that "everyone agrees" to this doesn't make it so. The focus of this poll was two-fold: 1) to determine whether to merge the communities at all ; ...

I suspect Java is correct in believing a merger would attract more players to both, rather than divide our player base. More options and travel presents fresh opportunity for players and make our collective PW(s) more attractive to all, I think. Sweet. :) The BG static content was originally formul...

... it would be good to know how many active players Exodus has to offer. The ALFA database currently returns 53 . That's between july 7 and july 14. Thus, i'd say far more than 30-40. Just for fun i ran it on the last 60 days too, returning 96 . This means we're not doing that bad a job on retenti...

... it would be good to know how many active players Exodus has to offer. A fair question, zicada. According to what Rotku told me, ALFA has about 30-40 currently active players. Exodus has about 15 currently active players, about half of whom are also active at ALFA. (As an aside: Yeah, we each ha...

I'm baffled to see option 2 getting the edge I must confess. ... Keeping two PCs one in each part of ALFA while others have freedom to go from our current ALFa servers to Amn and back... opens a whole series of possibility for metagaming. I think you misunderstand that option. On the assumption tha...

It may be hard to dissociate IC and OOC in the mind of the decision-maker player, but such is not terribly relevant or even necessary. What is relevant is how it appears to an external observer...the DM and other players. The distinction for them is much more straight-forward and really doesn't req...

... my looking around Exo recently poking my head into numerous areas and looking to get into trouble, showed very few static spawns. That in and of itself will have a significant downward effect on wealth. There are fewer (almost no) static spawns on the travel routes, in the sewers, etc. So, gone...

I began to post my understanding of these terms in my own topic, but decided I would prefer to hear some other peoples definitions/understanding of the terms...anyone willing to weigh in? Here's my understanding of these terms: IC - "in character" - actions taken or words said by your PC ...

Howdy! Like T-Ice, I'm a newcomer here. I don't have an ALFA PC created (didn't have time between server hosting and other RL duties). But I'm extremely grateful for the gracious way that Rotku started this poll, and has consistently kept both the interests of his own membership and of Exodus front-...
