| General Discussion If you have anything off topic to say or you are unsure where to post, this is the place to do so. | | Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums.

| Now I've seen everything! I was checking out the internet last night and came up on a solicitation of a business that promises to level your, (WOW game), character to level 60 ovenight, and promises you that only you and the company will know thats how you progressed! I'm 33 years old, and that has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen in the history of video games. The reason I have posted this to thank the players and creators of Layonara, for keeping this game such a fun place to play.....free of the above, where pvp and power gaming has become such a "task", that you even pay someone else to cheat for you! | | |

Then you haven't seen everything.
Seriously though I've seen the same in other online games. Just look on Ebay under the game name and you'll be surprised what people will pay for.

| RE: Now I've seen everything! why RP servers last so much longer and remain fun for years... because RP isn't a task... you dont have to be the best to have fun, and you can be any level, any race and still be able to put you little bit in on the major plots.
I think our thanks goes to all the dedicated RPers on all servers and all games.. people that make the game fun and keep it going.
Thanks everyone! | | |

| Re: Now I've seen everything! heh, that 150 dollars likely evened out what he spent per month on the game... so I bet he had a net profit of zero or a loss.

| Re: Now I've seen everything! Well during my 2 year break from Layo, ive been around the other scene. First with Daoc that I can strongly recommend as it have exellent pvp, iof not the best there is for any mmorpg outthere. And lately Wow, which I played from the Beta up until last janurary. And Ive seen it all, the grinding, the powergaming, the money you spend on it. Yes many people in my guild also bought gold so they could buy more stuff ingame. Theres a whole industry dedicated to this, where they have people in salary just grinding these money sao they can sell them to others. Its scary. Unfortunately it only took me 1years to get the best of the best in Wow, the legal way, and there is no endgame in WoW, just a endless stream of non-stop grind, or grind to get the next epic item. Im glad I finnaly was able to break loose from that prison, cause thats how it felt in the end. A game should never make you feel like that, and I cant say how glad I am to be able to come back to Layo and have people remember me. It just shows that this game focus more on the actually people than on the game. And im glad they dont know how to put that in game and sell it, cause its our little secret.

| RE: Now I've seen everything! i played SWG for awhile and the reason i thought it was good was that if you did not liek your class you just changed it, but you have to re xp up all the skills again but they just changed it to much and i stopped playing it, but i do agree RP servers last longer

| RE: Now I've seen everything! There are more and more mmorpgs these days and I hope they die out or something. The entire idea of pay for each month even after you buy the game is disgusting to me, not to mention all the other businesses that have grown around it.
Thank god there is Layonara! | | |

| RE: Now I've seen everything! Ummm. I do hope we all contribute every month or so to keep Layo going though...
It shouldn't be that different at all on a player's economics. Its the scale (layo is small, therefore beautiful) and the heart that is different. | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
