@Auspice I am not sure how i feel about this.

Well the web site gives a 404 so... I wouldn't feel any way about this, since this is beyond vaperware. 🙂

Edit: I'm moving this to a different forum category until there's something to advertise.

I would play a Star Trek MU, especially if in the newly envisioned universe. I would also play a GotG themed Marvel game.

As to the idea of a pay to play MU?

Fuck that. Fuck that so much.

It seems half of the time I play a game, there are elements of staff and other players who cannot be expected to be ethical for free. The one saving grace that makes me eyeroll INSTEAD of getting angry at them for being unethical cunts is that it's free. It's not as if I was paying for a service and they took my money, pulled unethical OOC bullshit, and ran. I would say easily a third of the people who run MUs shouldn't be trusted with simple, free, fair ethics, let alone anything resembling monetary transactions.

Point in case: Zero from New Jedi Order was taking PayPal "donations" to boost people's characters, run scenes for them, etc. Like a pay to play mmorpg environment. The end result is people complained about paying for things and never receiving them, and his lack of grace turned to a lot of badmouthing his critics.

So. Yeah. Let's never change the landscape of this corner of the hobby from "for us by us" to "money making venture".

Ouch.

These are very good suggestions.

SWR has 3 mandates.

Find a timeline that's unique. There are games played in canon, was an old republic game, and there have been several (that ultimately failed) based on rotj.

Find a plot that's unique. I know this may unsettle some players because it's not cookie cutter, but that leads to our third mandate:

NO FCS. Play what you want without waiting 6 months. For those who remember me talking up this game 2 years ago, our mandate was clear. No FC chars, no staff run special characters, not waiting in line to play the character you want to play.

These things are not easy, but doable.

We are having some fantastic chat and banter in our discord channel. We have settled on a timeline, we are just fleshing it out. I appreciate everyone in there giving their 2 cents and helping shape the game.
