Well I am re creating my server, I was wondering would you like a story? I love storys in games and love getting in to them and always like lots of text and lore.

But what about you? My server is going to have 500 + quests and I would like to think people will read the "lore" and find out what there are things roaming the land, why certain people want certain things you know.

So when you play mir would you like one which would be just log on bish bang wollop, or would you prefere more indepth something with story?

Because it will be a good story! And I dont want to do like 40 pages of text over the 500 npcs if not a single person will read!

---- Also as stated on another thread ----
If you have any quests you would like to donate feel free to email me or add me on msn [email protected]

Thanks

Games usually based on stories are what its all about.

There are 10 things to consider in making a good story.
Which I cant be arsed to name :)

Are the quests going to tell one whole story or is it 500 mini stories? Is it going to be like 1 main story line for Tao's 1 for Warrior's 1 for Wizard's?

Will be one main story every thing is based of the Main idea. You have sub storys about each class but they are a small story.

Hope that makes sence

Very nice idea, will take a lot of work though
I have always been a big fan of lore and storys. I am a very fast typer as well which does help, Im not quiet the 128 words a min I used to be. But I have two hours commute every day and a PDA to carry on working on Scipts and what not.

Its basicaly going to be a book but in game form! Which is kind of cool. I play warcraft and love the story behind that.

I am going to spend a month or so designing storys and stuff, but its good to see that some people think its a good idea.

So thank you all once again! + with storys it opens up a long story line :)

Also the quests will be very very very time consuming (think this is what you implied ) Which is why im asking if any one has any spare they could send me it would be great :) But once you got a core of quests that will keep people occupied can constantly update.

What do you think would be best to do,
have a bit of background information like a story on say a web site - like on here if I advertise it on here ( hope that makes sense )

or the story the NPCS tell as your doing quests for them and what not?

Ok then :) Nice one on that buddy, I will have the main story in the pop ups in game then :) Will have a quick intro in to the game though with a mini short story I think. Thanks
