Just a little idea I had, harkening back to the old days of tabletop games...this would probably only work for people with multiple characters, like me, who can play one of their others when the group isn't around. But anyways, to the point...
I'm interested in having a small group that actually goes on "quests" of varying sorts. The character I'm planning this for is quite brand new, so they'd start at low level things and go up. Like, someone serving seafood up in Haven is catering a party and has offered to pay well for 200 crab claws, so this group sets itself to the task of killing and successfully skinning 200 crabs. Not real exciting, but better things come later. I've also thought of things similar to scavenger hunts, some rich guy wants them to gather this list of items that are found all over, and some come off of critters. If people are really creative and want to invent some larger plot to involve them in that would be great down the line as well. The main point is that the group is cohesive, with pre-planned times to get together, rather than just logging on and looking for people, and they always have a purpose besides just training. I'd need the group to start out in Haven, cause that's where my little paladin is. If anyone is interested, send me an email at zanastra@mchsi.com or IM Daephene. Haven is my only restriction, I don't care about race or guild. My character's a Tog pallie who likes anyone til they give her a reason not to. Again, low level characters are best (since I have to start low anyway) but not necessary if you're willing to join us on the little quests for the rp. Anyways, let me know.

I think that is a really good idea. I mean it may not be stuper exciting (at first, I'm sure idea's will flow better laters) but it would add a little bit of a reason why to do things. I know that I have been playing a few years now, but sometimes the excitment just isn't there. Sometimes I find myself saying, why do I have to hunt, train or anything like that, there's no point. Well, I just wanted to say that I think you have a good idea there, let me know if I can helps ya in any way.

Re: Questing Group on 06/30/2003 05:36 PM CDT
Yeah I don't think the crab claws would be exciting, but at least it would be a goal other than "hunt crabs until you have x amount of combat skills." More complex stuff will come later. If I get the group put together, we can brainstorm together based on the kinds of things that interest us. And further down the line, I wouldn't mind having extra characters for people to be rescued, or small scale villains. It's fun to just get on and play sometimes, but after playing off and on since 99, I do kinda get bored without a purpose. Hopefully some other people are interested.
If any older characters are inteersted in helping without being part of the group, someone to send us on some errands of some type for them would be nice. If you have an interest in seafood, or rat pelts, or some such thing we could acquire for you in the near future, or something more complicated further down the line.

This sounds like an interesting idea, it is a shame it is based in Riverhaven. I'm primarly in the Crossing and I do not care for Riverhaven (besides Divine Power Smelly Cat, of course! ^_^).
If the group ever travels to the Crossing, I'd be interested in hiring them for suitable endeavors. I'm always looking for people to run errands or do side-jobs and I am a generous (given my overall funds which are nothing to do backflips over) employer.
The jobs could include: delivery person, messenger, spy, bodyguard, and much, much more.

Large turnips.
If you want, we can discuss an IC way for this to come about. IM Gulphphunger (preferably after 4:30pm EST, as I get off of work around that time). Currently Gulph's in Shard, but he's been given a quest by the "God of Turnips," and he could certainly use some help and would be willing to pay for such services. If IM is inconvenient, you can also send a line to my play.net addy.

We will probably expand our range beyond Haven eventually. It's just where my character comes from so it's easiest to start there. We'll keep anybody in mind who responds, and if we're in your area, I'll try and let you know. So far we're getting a fun response.
I'm taking down all these IM's so I'll try to get in touch soon.

Very nice.
I'll be like the guy in Mission Impossible, or like the Dungeon Master in the D&D Cartoon.
Also, if you send me an e-mail or such, I'll disclose where my house is, and you can go there to get missions/jobs/quests if you are ever in the Crossing.

If you need a somewhat grouchy Physician/Midwife who is very knowledgable about history, she commutes between Riverhaven and Crossing, with a house in Riverhaven.
I am very interested in the RP side of this game, so you can definitely count on a character who very much lives in Kermoria.

Ticks me off when I RP something happening and everyone is like "What r u doin? stop acting stupid you noob..." because what the crap is that?! E-mail me someone. save me from...boredom. Cos hunting sucks.
Critter attacks. I kill it. Another critter attacks. I kill it. I go to something harder. Critter attacks. I kill it. Mindlocked. Critter attacks. I get killed. Die. Go hunt something lower. Repeat.

I'm interested in the group also. I like the spy stuff and infomation gathering. I wish I could to that here, but I have no idea how to get started. I'm up for other things too.
My email is Shyoneq@hotmail.com. Please, if you email me, place DR or Dragonrealms somewhere in the subject line. I get alot of junk mail and I tend to look over alot of stuff.

Count me in.
Basically, if you ever need a 'damsel in distress' or whatever (I read something about rescue in the first post...?), you can AIM me at DR Kuril or send an e-mail to my play.net account.
Kidnapping is fun... ::looks around mischievously::
Oh. Not sure if you have already, but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make a mailing-group or something... Just a thought.
The character I'd get involved is a 13th circle Bard, if that makes any difference.

Re: Questing Group on 07/14/2003 05:51 PM CDT
I think I've either emailed or AIMed everybody that responded, except Gulphphunger and that's cause I was waiting to see how long our first quest was gonna take us before I inquired about turnips. Just so everybody who volunteered to give us quests knows, it's gonna take a good long while for us to finish with the crabs. Between coordinating schedules for meeting times and the fact that half of us are novices, we're taking our time. So if you don't hear from me for a while, I haven't forgotten you, and the group is still going on, but it's just gonna be a while before we're ready for a larger challenge.
It is, however, quite a lot of fun. If anybody wants to join us yet, let me know. We'd actually enjoy one or two slightly older characters, especially ones with skinning skills. That would cut down the expected timeframe dramatically. <g> We have some great rp going and we're very pleasant company. Also, how come no males want to come join us? Except one. Anyways, keep contacting IM Daephene or my email if you're interested, just be aware things move slow right now.

Actually, I think you did e-mail me. I've got all the time in the world, though, so no rush. Gulph was given a year and a day, which comes out to late September in DR time (I think). Meanwhile, I'm trying to set up the internet at my new house and all that kind of jazz, so I'm out of commission anyhow. I'll just work out an idea for how Gulph would approach someone for the task. Get in touch with me when you're more ready and we'll have a grand time. ;)

Re: Questing Group on 07/29/2003 10:25 AM CDT
New idea on this one. Given that some ideas of kidnappings and items that need to be retrieved have been brought up, I thought it might be nice if we had a nemesis of sorts. Generally, some low level villain type character who would do some of the kidnapping, stealing items, etc, which we would then retrieve. I don't know if anyone out there would be interested, but it would make for a much more dynamic and unpredictable storyline. SO if you happen to have a low level villain type on your account somewheres who needs something to do, let me know!

My character could probably find some neat things for the group to do that might turn into bigger things, problem is Haven though. He is in Shard mostly. That shouldn't interfere with the RP however, since he wouldn't be in the group. IM me at seihjindr or email me at my play.net address
