Talk:The World:Back Story
From NexusCrossing
[edit] Intro
This is a potential back story for the MMO Project "The World." It is the beginnings of explaining things like why there are a few hundred to a few thousand people on a world that starts out pretty primordial, vs thousands upon thousands on a teaming old world. It explains just WHY PC's and some special NPC's are different from the rest of the humans and animals on the world. It can also be worked into the explanation of the Life Point system (or whatever it is eventually called), and how it impacts permadeath. Emry 06:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Issues addressed in the Story
- The beginning of an initial pantheon.
- Why PC's and Heroic NPC's/Monsters are different from other people and creatures in the game.
- Why the game starts with a handfull of culturaly advanced PC's on an almost primordial world instead of thousands of primitives or a handful of technologically advanced people.
- A beginning explanation/Tie in for the Life Point system.
- Why PC's can potentially become gods, or at least extremely powerful.
