Alright m'lovelies, here we go again!
So, I've still got a lot of building I'll likely be looking into-- that much hasn't changed. However, I've been feeling inclined to planning towards events in the future; some that would be nearer, and some further on until I have a consistent span of time to flesh them out as I wish.
I've got ideas! Many ideas, in fact, to the point that I want to run a two part poll here (or one, depending), to help me gauge what sort of interest is drummed up about the server.
I'll try and keep summations brief:
--Faction v Faction Events
Think the Battlefield: Stonetalon and Battlefield: Khaz Modan, if you were around for those. I'll likely be running event lines with both a Horde and Alliance perspective, and will be working on Horde vs Alliance stuff throughout the world. These will be player vs NPC events, as per my usual fare.
Some examples of places on my radar for this would be Stonetalon, the Barrens, Hillsbrad, Tol Barad, etc.
--'World' Events
Essentially working on progressing the lore in certain areas. Each zone roughly has its own storyline in Cata, and there are some we've definitely left open for advancement. This could include stuff from escalation at Mount Hyjal or Uldum, to smaller scale stuff such as the corruption of Wormthorn's forest in the Blasted Lands. Some of these would naturally lean to one faction rather than another, and some might take a more neutral stance, depending.
--Northwind
Probably my most successful events in recent memory. Northwind was a survival horror sort of event line, heavily inspired by works such as Silent Hill and Amnesia. It was grim. It was dark. It involved lots of eldritch creatures for which there was no solid 'defeat'. It was my personal project, and I loved the heck out of it. All told, I clocked more than -six days- worth of content on these events. That's 144 hours at least, all in one event. I was far from done with it, but at the time of my 'concluding' the event line I deemed it too disconnected from the world.
Well, I figured out how to fix that! And the Cataclysm has provided me with a horrible method of doing so. It'll be fun.
So, let's see some votes. What sounds good to you?
