hello, good to have you here
this server has really great people on it, wonderful roleplayers and tons of dm involvement. this is the most active and helpful dm team ive ever had the pleasure of playing with online.
if the style of rp this server employs suits you then it is absolutely a great place to make life long characters imho as i have done just so.
always feel free to ask anyone around for help, including me, and im sure we will all be glad to lend you a hand getting to know the place

I love RP and am overly active (I am told) in doing so. And to be honest, sometimes my RP is taken a bit to....seriously...by folks so, I've pulled back somewhat in these days...one reason I am here is to see if I can find a place that I can bring my characters to life and give some good times to others.
I figure RP is not something for your characters advancement (least not most of the time)...its to make a story...like we are all actors on the stage....
An example, who may show up here.....
I had a LE Black Mage that wore a cloth mask to hide his emotions from others...there was a lady paladin that was his "enemy" of Illmater. Before they were in the town, they both served a rather cruel man and my character was the one that was normally paired with her for their "sessions".
All that was backstory...and, at level 5, she tossed me a curve ball and basically told me to kill her, she couldn't take it anymore because she had fallen in love with another paladin of Torm and I would end up having to kill him and that was even too much suffering for her to bear.
My guy had never seen anyone do that...and he didn't have a cruel streak at all. For him, it was about power and control. He believed because of his life that power makes the rules therefore, you must have all the power you can and then, make the rules for others.
This ended up causing an alignment shift (with DM help and approval and the loss of 1 level) to LN.
Things progressed into a VERY nice storyline but, sadly, a few people on the server took to thinking SIMERON was doing what the mage was doing and took offense....and then, as happens, there was the miscommunication that cause a big blow up....sigh.
Everything was cool with the powers that be and most understood the misunderstanding. Many still had wonderful times with the mage and in the end, he was very involved in DM quests and events and made a very memorable history on the server.
When real life finally made me leave, he was given a grand departure story for two nights...
He was even "imprisoned" many times and finally, kept in a dungeon because he though his wife was murdered and went "insane"....and frankly, when you are a level 21 Necromancer and have been put into the second in charge place of the "Obsidian Tower"...which was the Black Mage secret service of the server...think the Secret Service meets the Super Ninja Squad, yeah...its not good to be insane when you have that kind of power....lol....he HAD to be stopped....
Took 3 level 22 paladins and a level 21 cleric to do it too...heh heh...yeah, I knew how to play him good too....
Did I mention he carried a large shield and used a katana for his weapon even though he was pure mage?
No armor mind you but yeah, pure mage and used shield and exotic....was human too....go figrue...
I think apart from Simeron Steelhammer, Kali Fi was my next favorite character and have the fondest memories of him.
I have quite a few more...Lucas De' Mon, shadow monk...Cedric Willowood, my cleric that wants to be a paladin....all had their purpose...and its normally to be someone that others can RP with and off of....
Lucas was made specifically because someone wanted to be hunted...Cedric was made because a small group needed a cleric that was the "always looks at the bright side of things"...
I think Luna Star will show up here too....female elven bard/sorc that had a touch of Silver Dragon in her (RDD)....
I can see alot of possibilities....at least, I have a lot of hope.
This being said...if anyone would like to fill me in to the...ahem....political landscape OUTSIDE the game world...*wink*
Or if you want to set up some RP things....maybe you need an apprentice...or a student...or shoot, an old wise battle harden and world weary Dwarven Cleric, Fighter, DD that smokes a pipe with dried rose petals and lanvender (helps me nose tapping it with his pipe stem) that drinks cinnamon honey mead, eats corn muffins with goat butter and reads with rose tinted spectacles too....HAR HAR HAR...
Ahn yes....I use a HAMMER ya blasted idgit...a HAMMER...and YES I am a DWARF...every try to make some armor or a good weapon wit just ah axe?
Sometimes people is soooo stupid....
