I'm sorry you're frustrated and I'm sorry I've become confused. I don't understand how being frustrated and lacking information forces any particular grouping. That actually sounds like the worst way to resolve the lack.
I don't know anyway to explain it than I already have... and now I feel like I'm just rambling. But you and others have made a lot of good points in this thread and gave me a lot to think about on what maybe I as a player should be doing differently. Also think most of it can be done in the forms without taking up more of GM's time. I guess my main point in all of this posting is... try to include others and make them feel welcome instead of excluding them. This is not pointed at you Gulnyr or any one person... But something we all should do.

I feel like this thread is somewhat related to a topic in the PMs, Quests, and CDQs thread talking about the belief that, "Epic characters want to do epic things". Milty, here, seems to be arguing that just because your character is epic does not mean he is entitled to epic things, quests, etc.
Ahh okay makes sense. But that is not what I am saying at all in my post. I was referring to trying to pull others in and not exclude them. I realize that my character is going to get what I put forth the effort to do.

Absolutely agree that levels has nothing to do with a character's worldly influence/standing/impression/status/activity/achievments
I think levels mean nothing now. Not sure what brought this up but I haven't heard anyone say that they thought just because they were a higher level that they should get more. Amanda may be a high level wizard .. but she does not see herself as being powerful at all. Now Emie is still up in levels but not powerful at all... But sees herself as important or more than a level 34 Wren or a 40 Storold

Just thought I would post this so since you mentioned there was no post on sightings of Milara. I realize it was just an example of your main point, but thought it would help:)

(hopefully the link works) Yea I saw that and that is great and exactly what I meant! But the one I'm referring to was way before that.

Not sure about Pibemanden. I was more referring to it seems that a lot that goes on in pms excludes people. I am not talking about your personal character development and know there are some things that are best left to PMs. Layonara has always encouraged grouping and role playing. I do not understand how this does that. I don't know how to explain what I mean... One example... I was talking in IRC a while ago.. I mention that Milara had not been hear or seen about for some time. A gm mentioned that wasn't necessarily true and maybe should ask around. You would think if Milara had been around that almost everyone would have heard. There was no "Rumor Has It" post on that. I know if my characters had ran in to Milara I think I would have to tell some one.  I was told that some characters know a lot of information because they do a lot of leg work through pm's. Well I'm not going to keep bugging GM to respond to a bunch of pms of me poking until I hit the right thing. I don't think all GM's have the time to do that and I don't expect them to. If I have information I want to share it and pull others in with it. It is so much more fun that way. But I guess not everyone feels that way. Which I guess is fine. I love finding new people to rp with and it doesn't have to be about changing the world. That is what I enjoy the most and keeps me here. I'm not wanting WL or anything like that. But when I do come on a quest that is world plot or world changing.. it seems that more than just a selected group of people should have information. Posting more on the forms solves that and frees up GM's times for more impromtus and quest times. If you look at the calendar for this month most of the quest are CDQ's. Why take up more GM time for pms when not necessary. I do not have any idea if I'm getting across what I'm trying to say.. But things like this is what I love seeing...this gives others the opportunity to join in if they choose to and doesn't leave just one or two players with the information. Also doesn't require a GM to receive a dozen pms from several people to get the information out. Which leaves the GMs with more time for other things. I have other players talk to me about these things.. so I know it isn't just me that is frustrated. But they are like.. what else can you do? With that it just forces people in to the groups they are comfortable with and not bother trying. I know this is the point I am at. Once that is no longer fun then it will be time to move on.

I have to say the placement is much better now and they are more resistant to spells. Much better with out the big groups bunched up together.

This is exactly what I was talking about! .......... Oh and this!
I was not referring to posting personal things your character does. It was more things like this. With the way Script Wrecked posted this, it allows others to be pulled in if they choose to. It is as simple as your character climbing up to Haven and listening or asking questions. It can all be done in the forms and saves a lot of time at the beginning of the next quest. Now many people can have the information instead of a small group of people. Makes it much more fun for everyone.
Thank you LordCove and Script Wrecked for doing these. It has helped me understand (and I'm sure several more) a lot better to what is going on.

Welcome to Layonara! *Big wave*
Here is a good spot to start... it may also help to look at some character bio's that have already been approved to get an idea of what they are looking for.
Once your character is approved and your in game feel free to to send tells if you have any questions or just want someone to show you around a bit. Most are more than happy to help out .
A big storm just hit one of the major area's. So be ready for things to be a little crazy.

I can understand pm's if you are working on a cdq for your character. But when it involves the world and others... how can that help anyone but your own character?
Also Carillon, I think it is amazing that you were able to reply to 100 pm's in one week and it is greatly appreciated! I just don't know that all GM's can devote that much time. I don't expect you all to. That is a lot of time!

And now you understand one of the big reasons why you see WL's and high level characters less and less IG, or only on quests. World-changing projects take massive amounts of OOC and IC planning, which ultimately boils down to spending lots of time in conversation (either via PM or IRC) with GMs before you can even do anything IG. So why even log in to play the game? That just says you can't do anything other than search for xp or craft. To me this leaves a lot of people out. I think public forms works much better to pull others in.

I will comment on this... A problem with this however is also in my opinion the way this involvement has been handled for almost as long as I remember. Most of the time the positive player involvement comes from the player writing pm after pm to the DM's in hope of striking something which may be a walkable road for your character.
In my opinion this removes focus from actually playing the game, as there are months where I have been playing where I thought that I could have spent my time better writing pm's to various dm's instead of actually being IG.
Honestly I didn't know how important it was to pm gm's with things your character wanted to do until just recently. With the way it is now.. a character can have a huge part of the world without even having to log into the game for anything other than quest. I hate bugging GM with pm's. I know they are busy with their RL jobs and families on top of planning quest answering forums etc. But from the way it looks that is the only you can grow your character other than quest and grinding xp. If GM's don't mind taking the time answering all the pm's they get from a server of people then I guess there is nothing wrong with that other than it leaves everyone else out on what is happening in the world. You go to try to do something only find out that such and such has already did that. Leaves others frustrated. One thing that does help, is the public threads that people post to IC. That allows others to be pulled in and get involved.

Hello!! Welcome to Layonara! *Big wave*
Careful what you wish for.. it may just come true!
Once your character is approved and your in game feel free to to send tells if you have any questions or just want someone to show you around a bit. Most are more than happy to help out and only a few will bite. A big storm just hit one of the major area's so things are a bit crazy. So brace yourself.

Thanks for setting this up and to those that came out to tell what they know. A lot of information was shared.. Seems to be so much that it just confused me more. hehe I just wish my brain could translate the information like Amanda's should.
