Save the animated series petition
I just finished talking to a gm who was very helpful but told me they were undecided on whether or not to continue the animated series of AO.
I understand its alot of work for such episodes but let me explain something.
Both me, my wife and a core group of roleplayers left the game after the 12.6 fiasco we vowed never to return, tired of the promises broken and just plain fedup.
Most of them went on to Daoc or back to everquest.
About 3 weeks ago I decided to take a look at the site, many improvements had been made, then I decided to check out the storyline, the timeline.
I download the first episode, watch it, then dowloaded all three, I burnt it to disk and sent it to my 3 roleplay friends who lived far away, I invited the closer friends around and we all sat and watch it, talked on phone and in person and decided to grab 7 new accounts on the free trial, to check out the bugs and were pretty impressed.
Impressed enough to put the work in at building a character from the begining.
But what hooked us was those episodes, they may not appeal to the powergamers or pvpers but they appeal to the core roleplayers, Philip Ross isn't just a plot device, Rubika isn't just a leveling game they gave us abit of hope that there was more to this game, it wa an insentive to roleplay to get involved.
You guys could zip these up and offer them as episodes to cover disk mags as part of ongoing reviews. or just do it to help people feel for the place we are experiencing.
I don't play the game now as a leveler or looking for the next L33T piece of equip, my character has ideals and needs with moral ambiguity, I don't say ooo gotta level I say hmm what would my character do in this situation.
This virtual world needs roleplayers
