Hey people, having troubles... I can't connect to the updater, it just keeps trying to and as so far got to connection attempt #23.

I was on the game like 3 hours ago with no trouble, i set up a few new graphic settings due to have a new computer where the game ran fine.
I've got windows 7 and an i5 processor as well as 1tb worth of space (plenty of spare space for the game to run), all it seems to do is try to connect and i've restarted the computer twice so far and no change.

HELP??

Drade came into the area of the park, glancing about he noted the fact that even with the dawn just broken the bird seem not to sing their normal song. The park seem very quiet, ahead he saw the tape, his eyes glowed a little as he came towards it.

"hmm.. so this is what I felt then.." he muttered to himself as he slowly walked in deeper.

Suddenly he ducked behind the trees and bushes to his left, just as a figure appeared in the taped of area ahead of him. Calming his breathing and lowering the glow that came off his gear and gloves he hoped he could watch from where he was and not be noticed.

Night-Wanderer aka Sean O'brain sat at table 38A, sitting in his power armour with the face guard cover up and his other armour standing on it's display stand next to him. Along side him on the next table was Comms and Gemme, 38B, Gemme looked nervous while Comms was busy tapping away on the table while he wirelessly used the PDA on his waist to carry on with some work.

"You know the worst part of these type of events.." Sean said glances to his partners.
"What?" Gemme replied looking around Comms to him
"The waiting.. didn't mind the photo shoot but come on.. they going to open the doors yet.."

"I still would of perfered photos where I didn't look like robotic hulk trying to rip apart a car door." Comms perked up and said glancing to the doors and the guards opening them. "Well Sean here they come."

After last night little events here is how things stand: VGX-3 has returned badly damaged to it's hideout place to repair and such, Molly.exe put a tracer on it, someone else stabbed a shadowy dagger? into it's back, fews part of the bots blaster arm/back panels would of been left behind from the damage of the arrows.

Now before people say, I am sorry for no warning of the events of last night but they were meant to play out slightly differently and not on that evening. Yes I am aware I should of sent /t's to those about the bot to inform them that they should leave the bot be but due to events outside of the game I got taken by surprise and was unable to /t in time to stop things going out of control.

Now Im working on the IC mission tonight/next few days and adjusting slightly what will happend with this now, The VGX-3 won't be returning to the statue anytime soon inorder to allow for other things to happen.

((I too was looking forwards to this going ahead, not knowing what post on here as stopped it as it's already gone. It is a great shame to be losing a community member such as Pious, and one I shall miss quite a bit, good luck in what you do pal!))

Drade stood back near the road, dressed in his normal Hunter's guild outfit of a black long coat, dark grey t shirt and black bottoms with high black boots. His swords missing from his back but their holders still there crossed on it.
"This is indeed a sad day, bringing more problems.." He muttered looking over at those entering the building, with a bow of his head he walked slowly up a brief bit of sun lighting his silver hair as he looked up at the door and those at it.

Now the Plotline for this has come to an end, a rather long plot of appox 2-3 yrs in the end which has been put into three part for me to do it, and I hope everyone has had fun while it has been running.

I know there has been the odd bad bit/Delays and such but in the end a plot is over and done with now, to which I want to thank all those who have taken part in the events for it, read the IC stories and became friends of the Characters.

I will take this time to say as fun as this has been, it has also been much alot of hard work and careful planning to pull of which I could not of done without the help of others from the RPers of Union group that I am proud to be a part of. If any of you need someone to help with your plots/events I will be happy to help out where needed with the numberous alts I have.

I am now going to be taking a break from running plots and attempting to build up my RPSG's.

I would once again like the thank everyone for their help and time with this Plotline.

You lot can, i'll have Drade on the Isle.

However due to the fact of me fogetting that it was my mums bday today I shall be late on, so I don't know if people wish to wait till later or delay untill tomorrow.

Pious, the dream idea is fine for know what has happend there was another event which may have mean missed by many as it was on ever mentioned once during a link into another one of my plots, which was the Grandhalls "isle" floating over to Paragon city and mystic blasting out the last remaining, or so thought, Cultists hideing in a base on an island but it is fine for not being well known.

Discs taken so far are; Pious: Moon
Redefette: Star
Catz: Sun
Red Commissar: Fire
Dervish: Earth
Bill: ?
Suriyah(me): Light
Drade(me aswell):Keystone Dics (not counted as one of the nine)

Now that leaves of course: Water, Air, Dark.
Which if you have any suggestion of wish to opt to have one before i assign them later on tonight the please do.

As for where this will happen is simple, Where Drade "died" ie the Peregrine Isle where his "grave" was before it was robbed. It's the small isle near the bottom of the zone map, near to the middle size isle where the Master gateway plot ending took place. RC and a few others know which I talk about.

As for time, due to the weather it is hard to say when but im going to go with the later the better given as i have to drive in this snow and such so 8PM is fine if i am late then you know im stuck in traffic or dinner.

Well we can do this on tuesday, of course that means I need to talk with CBeet about a few thing first hand as one of his alt is going to be the main person casting the spell for this event.

As for those taking place, please correct me if im wrong: Red Commisar, Rock_Powerfist, Catz, Redefette?, Pious?, CBeet and of course myself (doing both Drade and Suriyah, who shall be taking up one of the spaces for the discs).

Now this means that six of the nine discs have a person, not counting in Drade as he would then be the one who has the Keystone disc.

The discs are; Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Light, Dark, Sun, Moon, Star.

So as Catz as said to me she doesn't mind which one her character becomes keeper(Guardian) of this leaves 8 to be claimed by those else taking part so please pick one, as I said before it does not have to be connected to powers your alt may have but could be about how they act and so.

Right people, this weekend we shall be doing the last part of the Drade plotline, so I need to know who is joinning us for this and with disc that character would like to become guardian of.

I need that posted up on here ASAP!

I shall be arranging the times for it either tonight ingame or before friday, so i need to know what time of day you wish this to happen given to me.

As no list has yet been given to me by anyone else to who will help with this or when i'll now take it as me doing the fine points. So:

1) The event will take place within the next two weeks, at a Weekend for players sake and time.

2) People taking part so far are: Drade(me), Red, Beet (Underthrow). Of course this means im quite a few people short at this point, which is not good, techincally I need one person per disc.

3) I need to know what disc people wish to become guardian of, it doesn't have to be the same as your characters powers or skills as it could be for how they are and so, but I need to know in advance please!

4) It shall be taking place away from the statue, most likely will be on the same small isle near P.I. or somewhere similar.. Suggestions?


Now this is all good and well should anything go wrong for some reason I have a back up IC story for it which I'll post up should that happen otherwise it should be a very nice little event.

Ok, this sounds very much like what I was going for with "The Hunters Guild" I had started up: fighting off monsters, dealing with evils of world, stopping magical events which would cause "end of the world" etc..

Of course this fell quite flat on it's face as no-one got interested in it. However it is still there with a backstory/ a few bits of artwork I did for it and of course my character Drade (well he's near enough about in a sense).
So I don't know what effect this will have on your idea Pious, but i'll help out if you want.

Bump so this is kept near the top for the fact it is once again an active plotline.

More information is in the thread "Drade plotline ending."

Indeed, ingame would be a good way to do this event, however this would mean getting together at least 9 people together ie: one person per disc, would be great even if i know that it would take some planning and careful work to get that sort of thing to going smoothly let alone happen.
That is why I asked for people to provide how they what it done and a good time for the event to go ahead.

As for myself and given how long it may take I would like a weekend for it to go or a friday evening so we have plenty of time for it to happend and so it counts for when people end work/ go to sleep normally.

More details of the event will be given once this have been done so i can keep it moving at a faster rate than giving everyone every bit of information and confusing the whole thing up.

Right people the time has come for the very very very last part of the Drade plotline to be completed. So far we have: Stop Magnus from opening the realm master gateway; Seen Drade "die"; had the spirit orbs of Drade, Suriyah and Adamus come back to the world; Found out the dark truth in the Hunters Guild (Master Dark.); found all of the Runic discs; found and fixed the Keystone Disc and so now to this.

Drade's return... or is it?
This part is simple: Drade's friends/family have to perform the rite to bring him back down to earth and this plane. One person per disc, and a choice of who do you want back!?
Now of course many will say Drade, but this can bring back one person, any one person.. it's up to those there to choose that one to bring back.

Now the only problem is how and when to do such an event, which is why I want you to say how this should be done, In game; RP post; or IC story?

(( due to the lack of interest this post has been put on standby for a short while, it shall re open to posts in a few weeks, sorry.))

(( This open RP post is for the Plotline: Spirits from days of old, which is running on the Union server (EU) as such it may not make much sense to those who have no background infomation about the main characters or the plotline story behind them, however anyone is free to join in.

This will be connected shortly into the ingame events, till then ingame ICly it has not happend, I will say once it has.))

Timothy Skippton aka Time-Skip in his normal orange and red racer jacket and tight leather bottoms sat writing away on his desk hidden away in the back of the room he had been given to him by a friend. Each note he writ was the same and with his hands blurring slowly with the speed he was writing it wasn't long till he was done, and each note had been put into it's own folded form.
"Right that's part one done.. now to get these out into the city and too everyone who not only know me but Drade too." He sighed looking at the pile, "guess it a good job that im able to move through time otherwise this would take ages."

With that he grabbed the pile and blurred out of sight, leaving a small gust of wind behind him as he went out the room.

((Please note, either in game or here you will notice a orange/reddish blurr past by leaving a note with the words on it: Please read me! this is your invite to help it is up to your charater if they choose to or not.))

High above jumping carefully between the tallest buildings, high above the level of where the gas should be able to reach, a flicker of a cloaked person appeared. Each jump caused the cloak to flick as it adjusted to the change of light and background.
"So.. now, this must be the most boring job to do from them yet." The person moaned as they landed on a lower roof, " I mean it's not like I can have any fun, it's just get in.. watch.. and report back. I can do so much more.. hell I could of done a few killings.. maybe take care of a few her-"
The person frose as they step around the corner of he building roof, they came face to face with one of the Heroes of the city, one dressed somewhat like a catgirl in black a white. quickly the person ducked back around the corner then after a few moments peered back around the corner to see the Heroine was gone.
"... that.. was close." the person said walking fully out, "Almost walked right into her, and I really wouldn't want a repeat of the last time I was in this damn city, one bolt is enough for me."

Shaking their head quickly as the Cloak flicker adjusted again, they ran to the edge of the building a lepted a few more buildings before coming to another stop at a lower building, slowly walking to the edge of it's roof ledge before crouching down and looking down at the street below.
"Well looks like the gas is working away, and ooo.. lookie.. a nice hero going for a walk in it, hmm.. maybe I might just get a bit of fun afterall.."

IC Story: Enlightenment's Truth

As the light faded down slowly, the grass and flowers of the field came back into veiw along with that of Suriyah, Adamus and the rest of the Sealers in their silvery robes, part from Suriyah who was still wearing her normal Hunters Dark Healers robes and Adamus who was in his armour with the large sheild firmly on his back.
Drade stood there also in his normal outfit staring back at them as Suriyah and Adamus stepped to his sides.
"Elders.. may I request a moment?" Drade asked glancing about as the rest of the landscape seem to appear slowly as the light from the large group spread out around them.
"Indeed you may." One of them replied.
"Was it truely needed to seal away Master Dark into his own power?" Drade asked slipping his hand into to Suriyah's.

For a few moments there was only slience, then with a small amount of chatter from the back of the group a reply came.
"Yes, for you may not already see the fact that what we fought wasn't the one named as Daran.. Or Master Dark as you call him."
"I thought as much, so what was that then?" Adamus spoke up stepping forwards a little.
"That was evil known as the Dark Master, a powerful dark demon from the realm of choas." The group replied as their chatter grew more.
"So.. what happend to Dark then?" Suriyah perked up to ask quickly before the others had a chance to.
"I am here" Came a voice from the back of the group.
As Drade, Suriyah and Admus looked on a figure came out from the spilting group and lifted down it's hood to show the face of their friend Master Dark.
"But..but.. but how?" The three of them asked at once as they rushed forwards to meet him.
"I shall explain in time, now come.. we have much to talk about." Master Dark said leading the group and Drade and co off down a small path that had appeared.

Hopefully we shall be finishing, or at least getting to near finish of this part of the whole storyline, of course im unsure what time I will be on later as it is hard to say for sure, hopefully around 8pm BST ish time.

That is fine, after checking the arc in edit mode the First arc only has one more mission to do before the second one takes over. So it may well be a short one this time, but may mean it will be easyer for some people.

As yet I haven't looked at the second part to refreash myself but the halfs were meant to allow for a day or so rest inbetween them should people of wanted, but as we have done the first two missions of arc one I don't know if that break will still be needed.

yes, I am logging on just this moment, sorry for delay.

Right so im hopeing to do the "RP run" on Saturday at about 7ish (BST) pm which is early evening and should allow us to play at least the first half (part one) and maybe the second part.
