I hope you make friends IC so you can enjoy the server as much as I do and I look forward to seeing you in game, Somma!Ī bit of advice for the cliquish nature, or that feeling of exclusion/needing to be in a certain crowd or a group in order to engage with the server. Sometimes concepts don't pan out ic the way you want them to and that's okay! The great thing about POTM is that it's so big and full of unique spots that just about any concept you have will be accepted somewhere. While I do have people I love playing with most, I ABSOLUTELY love playing with people I oocly haven't interacted with before and I've found that this server is extremely friendly on an ooc level, especially to new players. I like to think I play with everyone, especially people I don't know. That doesn't mean they won't play with others or that you have to join one to be able to enjoy the game. Just like on every server/game, there are going to be groups of people who enjoy playing with each other. Maybe even join a faction since factions are IC and not OOC. They can meet others, hang out, dungeon, etc. My advice to you is, make a character concept that is at least somewhat social, especially as your first character. She's the character I have not had as much fun on because I felt very limited (self-imposed, I admit). She was not a very social character and upset far more people than she made friends with, up until the very end from some very persistent Ezrites. One character I had that I did differently on was Juliette Germain. My character met a lot of people that I roleplayed and dungeoned with, and I eventually made a lot of friends on an ooc level as well. I made my character with another player who I didn't really know but it turned out amazing. The NCE is by far my favorite time of the year on POTM, I have enjoyed both NCEs thoroughly. I really enjoyed the roleplay of various individuals I saw and, after a month of being on the server, the NCE hit. The one person on the server I knew OOCly decided to take a break so on an ooc level, I was totally alone. I roleplayed my character, she met like minded individuals and made friends, none of whom I knew OOCly. Another friend did decide to play with me and abandoned the server after the first day because they were unhappy with the leveling system. They didn't play with me at first and I was on my own. I had a friend who played here that tried to get me to play for several years and I finally decided to give it a try. This is my own experience coming to the server: Roleplay has been perverted into kill collect for years by online games where as in this server it actually exists. Bravo to the DM/DM's that managed to get a 20-year-old game to have such a following and to actually keep people role-playing. Going solo here is not recommended in or out of the game. I suggest if you bring 5 other RL friends or a known group from online you would fair better than I did. After three days of constant RP and trying to make a level I died in a dark hole in the ground I could not seem to get out of. It appears very cliquish and nearly impossible to survive alone or with an occasional friend you meet. I am DM/GM with 38 years of experience and I didn't think it existed online in this type of game. This is the closest I have ever seen to quality role play online.
