Say Hey to the Sprites

Yes, earth-walkers. We have come. The Scale and Balance between evil and good has been tipped too much toward the side of night, and that darkness is sending disturbance beyond the planes of Realms. It has to be stopped and you humans don’t seem to be up to such assignments. So we have found it necessary to send our best to help. The first of our kind has already crossed the weave to be here and more will follow.

Greetings.



Recruiting (on Virtue).

With that said, perhaps I should admit the real cause for this post. We want to include more “Sprites” in our group. But we are a bit; let’s call it, exclusive. We do not believe in quantity, but more in enjoying the game with others that share the same play-style. But to always have someone on when you feel for playing this specific character, we must admit we need more Sprites. So here you come in. If the following appeals to you, consider contacting me with a PM here and perhaps be included in this group.

Agenda 1: Role-playing. We have all gotten used to persistent role-playing after DMing, Hosting and playing on NWN-servers that was shining in that game-style. But we have found it harder to stay in character 100% within the CoH worlds and we suspect it to be because of the lack of interactive DMs. But that shall not stop us from making colorful characters with traits and a personality that brings the game to life and make this an experience that is not only about leveling, but also about acting, story-telling and having fun. We have chosen a theme that makes room for making joyful and extreme characters, which often should bring a smile on your lips while you are playing. So one requirement is for you to be willing to step into the shade of a character, that have no idea what XP and leveling means.
But we are still heroes. We still fight more crime than sitting in a circle, chatting about personal problems. The conflicts within and between the characters will come to life, while we bring peace to the streets of Paragon.
We do have to add that quality-writing skills is not a need. A couple of us are not of English heritage and it shows. The key is to stay in character almost 100% and your character will be brought to life even if the English is no more than a C-.

Agenda 2: Theme.We have chosen to make a theme instead of a group consisting of random heroes. The reason is to make the group more consistent and to make us feel more as a unit. To reach that goal we have seem it necessary to make some restrictions. Our powers will show our heritage (the keyword is Archery) and our skin and costume, show our kin and unification. More about that if you become interested, but said here, to make certain that players that want freedom to make whatever they want, don’t waste their time. But we have to add; we are kinda cute.

Agenda 3: Prevent Level-gap. We have some rules in place to prevent the gaps between levels to be too huge. Those rules can prevent you for playing all you want with that character and therefore we recommend you to have at least one other Alt that is not within this group. Exemplaring is a valued tool. With that, you can help the rest of your teammates, to close the gap and still play with this loveable character.

Agenda 4: Play as a Group. No reason to gather a group if each of us chose to play alone or prefer to play with others, so we have rules in place, that make us be more social and interactive with each other. The “Sprites” never solo is one of them. We are realistic and know that often you can find yourself alone on the server. Do not just sit and wait or you will quickly grow tired of this group, but instead, start up one of your other Alts. We have a Group Channel in place and we will be added at each other’s Global Friendlist, so we won’t miss each other while playing other characters.


If the above is something that make you shake your head or think “oh man. What are they thinking?” we apologize for taking up your time. Perhaps we will still meet in-game and you will see what a skull-crushing group we actually are, even when we are some of those geeky role-players.

If you instead think “man, how did I ever play the game before the *drum rolls* Sprites” or “Take me, take me”. Or perhaps you just find this a fun and appealing way to play this game, send us a message, tell us why you wish to be part and we will reply with more information and hook you up. We have just started (It is not a day since, we helped Paragon with an Outbreak of contaminated thugs), so it is a great opportunity to help breathing life into this group.

Thanks for reading and hope to see some of you around, either as a Sprite or an Ally.

Respectfully

Some small purple lads and lasses.
