The whole deathsystem and bindstones is actually worked out pretty nice in the history of Layonara so why not talk about death and bindstones?
What i'm wondering is that the graves, are they actually just OOC representations of your lost soul or is there IC actually a grave erected magically at the place you died?

Dorganath - 7/26/2005 3:00 PMXerina - 7/25/2005 6:34 PMI like the forums in general and find it far better then many forums for NWN or other games. I also like the idea of having a forum to respond to the char development thread. I suppose you could post something in the Inn but its more of a patch or bandaid approach. I for one wouldn't really care if others posted in Aelayenns posts, but on the other hand their is no real way to post in my other two characters posts one is recorded in a personnel diary, and the other is recorded by her master via magic. For both reasons, it's not really a good idea for other people to go posting in your character development thread. If you want some form of public discussion on your character's development, the best thing is to make an IC post under Wild Surge Inn. Yea but personally i think that forum is a little cluttered with all kind of stuff my character either not interested in or shouldn't know about. It'd be rather obvious for a newcome to think that the Wild Surge Inn forum is for Hlint only. Therefor i really think adding some subforums there for several big towns in Laya would sure benefit all of us

Something i'm missing here is the depth of the IC boards. It's limited to one board for whole of Layonara and with a playerbase this big it's a missed opportunity for some great roleplaying and character development. I know some of you are going to direct me to the character development forums but those are all built around your own thread about your own and very own character. No other people can reply or interact with them. My idea is to put a subforum for Hlint and a couple of other highly PC populated towns and treat them as some sort of message board at the Inn. That way one can post messages that relate to IC behaviour of your character which most people should know about IC'ly but you are unable to RP this behaviour ingame due to either timezone or playtime limitations. Lets say i want my character Gaunt to become a devout follower of Toran, i can run around town IC and start praying or chanting at each and every conversation i have with another player, or a little easier and more effective could be i'd post a message in the Hlint IC-forum that Gaunt can be seen carrying an ankh, the symbol of toran around his neck and he seems to be alot more relaxed than he used to be the previous weeks. Another PC might read this (if he is a Hlint local he's supposed to know this anyway) and react accordingly ingame. What do you guys think of this? I've found this a great addition to any PW i've been on previously and a big missing on this one.

I've played on serveral other Roleplay heavy PW's and i have to say ... Layonara is one of the most well though off. The world, the system, the scripts, everything seems very polished and balanced. Good work and i'm here to stay

*Gaunt stumbles down the inn, clearly under impression of what happened to him just a few moments ago. He sits down at a table in a dark corner of the inn. He focusses for a few moments untill his eyes start to shine brightly and the area around him is filled with light. Then he takes two book and starts to read in one and making notes in the other* I've finally found this person called Ozy. A disturbed soul he is and what he told me is hard to believe but since all who stood by verified his tellings i'll have to take them for truth. I asked him about this place, how i got here and how to get back. And his reply absolutely wasn't what i was hoping for. From what i told him he concluded that i was probably banished by a powerfull demonic spell, perhaps even devilish, and teleported into a rift between the outer planes. As time passed there i was again pulled from this rift by some dragon who apparently summoned me here to help protect the people of this prime plane agains the Bloodstone, a fiend planning to unite demons and devils agains the natives of the prime. Most disturbing news but the worst i still had to hear. He told me as i was floating in nothingness over 2 milennia had passed and everything i knew in Ysgard had been destroyed by him, commanding an army of demons and fiends. Ozy, commanding demons and fiends, under control of some evil elf. He told me that my wife and son most probably would either be killed by his army or would have lived in my remembrance untill they passed of old age. I can't believe i'm stuck here ... while my wife and son are probable long dead. *Gaunt's hand starts to shake and tears start to form in his eyes, he takes a deep trembling breath and focusses again, the area around hime even starting to shine brighter* Ozy decided to tell me about his past and tried to justify his actions on Ysgard. He finally managed to convince me he couldn't help it and that he was here to stop Bloodstone from uniting the demons and devils. I decided to take place alongside him in this battle, for if Bloodstone succeeds in his intentions it might very well mean the end of the multiverse as we know it. *Gaunt flips several pages in the book and stops at a page titled "Deities of Layonara" ... He says to himself Toran as he scans the pages in search of Toran*
Ozy told me Kord has no power on this plane, he isn't even know here! I've never been a big believer but perhaps if i were i'd never had ended in this place. It's time for change, if i'm stuck here i might as well start a living here and do what i'm good at. And in the mean time take a little time to get to know the gods and maybe i'll find peace and honor. *Gaunt reads to himself* Toran, The Great Leader ... He's a shining example of goodness and righteousness by bringing order and safety to the lands ... *some lines below he reads* ... It is the place of the Paladin of Toran to seek out and decimate evil and wrong-doing, rather than wait for it to be brought before them ... *He carefully copies the section about Toran and the physical description of his followers, his deity symbol and the description of the dogma*

Just jumping in with my opinion. I'm coming from a server where PVP was the main big thing. A war between Celestials and Demons with players in both factions. It was absolutely the best server i've played on but i grew kinda tired of my character there and decided to come and play here. I for one think absolutely no PvP is a big limitation on my RPing. Last time a wizard summoned his familiar, an imp which basically is demonic and my character absolutely hates demons, of any kind. And all i could do was glare at it and even then i had to watch my language because i might anger other people with what they MIGHT think is offensive language. I think it wouldn't be the first time a person get sanctioned for using offensive language In Character? My point is ... how is a person to RP these events? Am i allowed to smack the familiar? Should i just go on and "glare" at it all the time? I don't know ... suggestions are welcome. A little more response of the other players would have helped too ... but nobody even tried to stop me when i got really angry at the imp. That actually was a big disappointment for me

*Gaunt stumbles out of the inn and falls down the three steps because he failed to see them, blinded by the light. Several people standing around notice him and gather around* When i got out of the inn i found myself in a place i've never been before ... or at least not as far as i can recall. There are two people standing outfront the inn. One of them helps me on my feet. He's wearing a strange hat, something like a bowl upside down. Nothing i have ever seen before. He's a friendly cutter although he seems a little strange. When i asked them where i was they said in a burg called Hlint. And again i had never heard of this burg, nor did i recognise the surroundings. I asked them where the army was stationed. They haven't seen or heard of any army. Nor did they know where i could take an airship since according to them those are things of Legend. Tsk ... legend, there are dozens around i said and i pointed up in the sky. Then my world froze, the floating islands, the islands with all the burgs and forests, covered in coulds were gone. The islands i once called home disappeared. That's where my world collapsed. I demanded to know on what island i was on, maybe there is an explanation for this, maybe i'm on the topmost island? I asked if they could take me to the border of the island so i could take a look over the edge. They said i'd probably had too much ale and needed a good night sleep. If there is something i don't need now it's sleep. I need to find out what happened, where have the hundreds of floating islands gone? Where has the army gone? Where is the 5th division and my company? Captain Darsoy? What happened to them? Have the gods punished me for being a non believer? I've never denied the existence of the Powers, but how can one worship them if some of them walk around in our very world? And who is this damn dragon everybody keeps telling me about? *Gaunt heads off to East Hlint and into the shop after he received a good meal and a few gold coins from Murat*

Happy you are ok, sorry about the car indeed but thats only material damage.
You know what really irritates me? Those big ass managers and those executive boardmembers who all buy themself a big SUV in the name of safety. And afterwards most of them start driving on the freeway like madman that have blinkers on, not thinking about other people's safety.
THAT is what i call irresponsible.

You'd be surprised what creatures walk around on the plane of Ysgard where Gaunt is from But indeed ... some people should RP a little more "fear of the unknown" Gaunt is baffled by the Half-Giants though

This is something i'd like to know too ... is there a way to shift your alignment (ofcourse not all the way to 85) towards lawfull from neutral with ingame mechanics? Or are GM CDQ's the only way to shift alignment?

Fantastic! I can't wait to explore and RP my way into Layonara.
And if i'm not mistaking there are enough scripted quests too no?

*Gaunt rolls around in his bed pulling the sheet all over his head, he moans as if he had the worst night in his whole life. He could never have guessed the next day would also be the worst day of his life* Today I had the most strange thing happen to me. Last thing i remember was our company in the 5th regiment of the Celestial army ambushing an encampment of the Demon Army. We slayed several of them sending them back into Baator, where they came from. Nothing special, every day's stuff in Ysgard i'd say. But this time it felt different, one of the greatest pitfiends of all was camped with them. Apparently he managed to stay out of sight of our scouts since we had no reports of Demons of this caliber venturing through our plane. Unfortunately for us he came to their defense and violently killed almost all of our company. And to make things worse ... with his powerfull devil magics he banished me from my own world sending me into a rift between the planes of existence. I seemed to float there for ages and ages ... time passing by as the sand in an infinte hourglass. Until suddenly i woke up in a bed that wasn't mine and which smelled as if someone else had slept in it before. Did i have a dream ... was it all a dream? I looked around and found myself in a small room with a bed, a small closet and a chest. A typical Inn room i thought. And it was true since i could hear the laughing and shouting of the drunk patrons below. I sat up straight in bed, rubbed my eyes and noticed that i had someone else's clothing lying next to the bed. I reluctantly pulled them on and opened the door, a dense scent of beer, roasted meat and sweat coming through the door. I stepped into the torchlit hallway and tried to find my way down, still a little dizzy and confused. I went down the stairs, through the main bar and out through the front door. The daylight hurt my eyes as if i had never seen daylight before and my head was pounding as if an army of thousand ogres had marched over it. Several people outside were talking about all kinds of things, some of them in a language i had never heard before. I hope things can only get better from here on ... *Guant stumbles down the stairs of the inn onto the road, the people looking at him as if he is the umpteenth drunk patron trying to find his way home*

Hey all, Just started with a new character on Layonara after playing for about 2 years on another RP PW. But i've got a question for european players around, and for GM's or other players too if they feel inclined to reply How firm is the European player base and the GM-events? I mean is Layonara a server where most quests and plotlines unfold in EU downtimes or are there many active quests and plots for European players too? This is something i've been missing on the other server i've played on and hope isn't the case on Layonara. Cheers and see you ingame!
