Right, you didn't get all three right, so we're still waiting .

cloudy day, though

If you make one of those, make sure the top rank is 'elder of Atys'

Added two new links (first post) in the 'info about story/background'section.

One of them links to a very good and very concise post about what happened in URU / the Cavern before this (the new URU Live).

The devs and people in their employ. They played some chars themselves last time around but there were also hired actors.
Discovering more of D'ni, and rebuilding a society, yes. We come not only to discover but to restore...
For now we have two different factions, but you can always make more. Even last time the choice between just two things didn't sit well with a lot of people, there's always those that disagree with both (or, more rare, but it did happen, who agreed with both), or those that don't care for 'politics' at all.

I think in the last Live the actors were definately setting the stage for a huge conflict. One of them had already instigated and participated in a riot, and left nothing about his opinions to the imagination in his journal (you could sneak into his private rooms and read it). Another one had gone missing and was last seen falling off a building with the building subsequently collapsing on top of him. However, in the end the players just didn't bite. They decided they had no need for violence, and instead a huge faction arose that tried to make peace between both sides. The actor came and apologised (IC). And then Live ended. So we don't know how that would have turned out, negotiations and talks were still ongoing at the time.

Though it's not something anyone'll be playing anytime soon. Last I heard it's still at least 1.5 years from release, and beta hasn't even started.

I just want that world to be visible around me. Like Nosyd said, sometimes you want to do something all on your own, and in MMOs that gameworld is there for you to walk around in.

When it's just text, I just don't feel like 'playing' with other people. I feel like I'd rather just go and make my own world and characters and write, if it's just text and I'm going to have imagine the entire look of the world and all the people. The need for other people disappears for me then. And I do write and make my own stories, I like doing that too.

I can't populate the entire visual MMO world on my own, in MMOs I do like to interact with others and create RP with them. AND I can walk off on my own, and I can actually see my char in the world, climbing mountains, exploring hidden corners...
Maybe MMOs are more about being an onlooker for me, but I like this very much too. And since if it's text I don't feel a need for any other people besides me, I don't have to do this online either.

So online for me means with others, means a visual MMO... I guess.

Here's some of my good ones. I had a lot of mediocre - crappy ones too, but because they're what they are, I won't torture anyone by showing them.
