As for RPotM, I have to echo GDs sentiments, a bio based application system is preferable to the RPotM system. An 'always open' system is probably ideal, whereby if people want to apply they can, rather than it being a monthly vote-off.

I tend to agree with this. And RPotM always had sort of two problems: It was a bit of a popularity contest, where some of the best RPers may not have characters that are popular, and it required a lot of work on the part of the staff.

Personally I'd rather we have some fantastic events that help close out our current timeline, wrapping up stories and getting people excited for what's to come, rather than a final week of comedy and farce.

I'm not opposed to having silly RP, but all of my free time for Sundren will be put into the long laundry list of things we want to do before the holidays. That said, it's really up to Saulus/Lotus/Doubtful.

In regards to RPotM, I think we can figure out a similar system. However, I firmly believe restricted races/classes should be subject to character requests, with a well written bio as part of the application.

I say a week, mostly because it's a good length of time to get in some silly roleplay that can be forgotten. If the DMs/admins think a month or longer would be alright, it's up to them. Currently the server is almost constantly empty, so personally I wouldn't be opposed to a longer period. Just have to make it clear that any events that would happen during that time are non-canonical. So it would be a "just for fun" kind of thing.

One other thing I'd like to suggest, while on the subject of restricted things? RPotM. This needs to be a thing again. And there needs to be other avenues to earning the right to play restricted classes/races. They should only be rewarded to the best RPers on the server, but they should be something players can work towards through player and DM recognition and through in-game and forum RP.

I'd rather have no elves than Gnome Arcane Archers.

I like this idea :^)

For one week, I will play a drow paladin.

Sorry Kasso, but it's already been done on sundren. GBX done a Drow Sunite Paladin, my toon Michael Zollas tried to save her life from everyone, and I mean everyone wanted her gone.

Why only a week though, have have a few months till the wipe and new stuff, it can bring us and a bunch of others back to mess around until then

I am all for Golems!


As for a week of testing concepts, I like it. Even if you want to be silly with it. I think a week of looking at all the restricted and unrestricted classes sounds fun. If only to look at the mechanics of a character they may be considering from an RP stand point, but are unsure of play wise.

[Elusa]

So here's an idea I came up with. For the week prior to the vault wipe, how about we lift the restrictions on races and classes? Sort of a celebration, plus we get players on to mess around with the restricted stuff before we all have to restart. I think it would encourage people to get on and play again. A week of goofy times with goofy characters. Everything's going to be wiped anyway, and we can just declare that week non-canonical.

Need more dwarves, not girly elves!

I'm going to hop on a branch and say Elisa was too.

I was serious about the half-elf flesh golems.
