Then you ignore them, you don't try to split the community further.

Just a, y'know, suggestion?

Thats horse hockey.

Paying or not, downtime to fix things or because things CAN AND WILL go wrong does not mean for the playerbase to ***** and moan about being reimbursed. Anyone who asks for such is an entitled whiner.

Yes, go ahead, make a Exalted RP community.

If you want to split the community further and promote cliques even more.

We don't need more servers with an RP community. We have Virute, Union, Pinnacle, and apparently Infinity. That should, and is enough. If you don't like the communities on any of the servers listed then you might as well RP through AIM, because the same thing will just happen on Exalted.

As roleplayers, we should be there to help each other, not split apart further.

PART I: DEATH
Two Weeks Ago
Croatoa
The darkness of Croatoa, a place of magic and turmoil, was home to many things, such as the slumbering giant Jack in Irons and his minions. While sleep covered many of the inhabitants, few remained up. Some were on guard and some just watched as the creature known as Sally swam the small sea in Croatoa, happy for once to be undisturbed. It was in this night of Croatoa that a figure moved.

Silver armor moved with grace and speed in the night-filled forests that were home to many fights but also filled with plenty of magic on its own. This is why the armored figure was here, for the magic to say the least. The armored figure stopped at a small cliff that rose above the lake that wisps danced around at night time. A sky blue eye in the left socket and a goldenrod eye in the right socket watched the wisps danced. This figure sighed as he shifted out of his armor, casting the needed changing spell to be placed in his robes that he used for more mystical operations that didn't require him to fight.

As the moon rose above Croatoa, the figure floated down closer to the lake and floated over the middle of it. The wisps moved, dancing around him, while he closed his eyes, extending his arms out in the separate directions they naturally pointed to. Magic flowed up this man's body, covering the silver and white robes he wore. His eyes looked up to the moon as he began to chant in an dialect that had been lost in time. Runes now lit the robes, the ground, and the sky as images flashed around the man. His head settled back into the right position as he watched the images. His arms slowly lowered as he nodded to himself.

Slowly, whatever spell had been casted stopped. The man came to a landing in the water, and he walked out of the small lake. However, he was interrupted in disappearing by two figures floating down before him. The heterochromia eyes of the figure looked to both figures and arched an eyebrow. The two figures before him were his friends and also his advisors in being a new hero.

The first man was an elderly looking man, who retained his full head of hair and powerful gaze within green eyes. His grey robes covered his body, but this did not trouble the man, but his solemn gaze did. Rare was it that this man, the mentor of his he had come to call Gabriel, held such a solemn gaze. Gabriel had lost emotions to better protect this world and to better teach those who would need the right path for learning magic instead of the dark path that tainted so many possible students of the arcane arts that Gabriel has become a master of.

The second man, who had hair as black as a raven, also held a solemn gaze. This man was Alistair Greysword, the somewhat infamous magical hero known as Dr. Warlocke and was one of the few friends that he held dear to him. The two were almost like brothers, give or take a few qualities. The solemn gaze came from grey eyes this time, and the two being here with such solem gazes made him worry.

"What is it?" came the voice of the man.

"Raphael is dead, Christopher"

Those words sent the man, named Christopher, to his knees in shock. His eyes were wild as Alistair stepped forward, crouching down and wrapping a black cloak around his friend. Alistair could only watch as Christopher looked to Gabriel, then him, almost in wild fury and fear rolled into one hard look.

"Who...who did it, Alistair? Who killed my son?!"

"Hexstone."

((OOC: This is my first attempt at writing CoH stuff that hopefully made sense. Short compared to the others up here, but I'll get them into a longer, better format :P This will first focus on the hero, Shadeknight, and then my villain Hexstone.))

No 'main' one, but the big ones are: Virtue TFs and Virtue LFG Beta.

'community' channel?

VirtueUnited and Radio Virtue seem to be the 'community' channels. If you want teaming, it varies.

If its iTrials, look for ones run by Shadeknight too. I've only had fails because of people not listening and thats like 2 out of the 15+ runs of Keyes. Others are just as minimal (mind you, I run/ran a lot of BAFs too, so I got that memorized.)

Like Shadowe, I don't agree with GG often but this time I will for the sake of, well, that she is right.

The Praetor Guard are not a 1-group effort, to most regards. Marauder needed two groups, Siege and Nightstar and even Anti-Matter needed three at max. Could you do them 1 group or so forth? Sure, the trials scale for the size. But in regard to us versus them, at their peak power they aren't going to be easy to handle.

We -need- the trials, horrid as they may be, to have the Incarnate content. Like it or not, they are the backbone to us finishing Tyrant (or whatever may be his fate). No random joe schmoe from Paragon is going to be able to tango with Chimera, Mayhem, Dominatrix, etc. You may last long enough, but you wouldn't be able to avoid defeat.

On an unrelated note (I think): I know the Incarnate storyline is kind of shoddily written, but at least they are giving us more 1group+ content besides Giant Monsters (which can be solo'd), Archvillains (Which can be solo'd), Raids (Hami/Mothership. Mothership has been trio'd and less before.), and invasions (Which are typically done in leagues now).

Is a solo path a nice idea? Hell yeah.

As an alternate, time-locked method sure.

As for the note Rsclark made: Read what he said. By the time we had pushed for it, I21's content was settled. This means in a FUTURE ISSUE (22, 23, or further back), solo path will appear most likely.

Too late.

Take that as you will.

RANDOM GIF TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS.

Get out, Havoc Star. Your awesomeness will cause the thread to melt.
