With GR coming out it's looking like Portal corp will be making alternate earths accessible for all heroes...
so, what if we treated the different servers as alternate earth versions of each other?
ramifications:
characters could travel between "earths" - ie: server migration but you get a tag at the end of your name denoting your original "home" Paragon/rogue
ie: if my character Evangel went from defiant to Union I'd have something like Evangel (def) as my name.
Upside, characters can travel between worlds. But, we can already buy a server transfer so why would we be given something for free that we should be paying to use?
well:
1. you'd have the name thing
2. the differences in the strange world are minor but they are there. prolonged stays in an earth that isnt your home means your character starts to suffer a form of dimensional homesickness (perhaps a reduced accuracy, or reduced recovery / regen, reduced resistance/defense that gets worse over time) that can only be cured by returning to home for a period of time (maybe half the time spent abroad?)
3. travel between dimensions so close together is hard because of the proximity of the dimensional barriers. On travelling each enhancement slotted or carried and all salvage or recipies carried have a chance to be destroyed or randomly changed to something of equal or lower power.
4. storage is seperate between dimensions as are SG bases etc - multiple Sg membership? dimension spanning SGs? SG based portals requiring huge power and control supplies to be available?
why bother?
Roleplayers: meet alternate selves! mr Awesome meets Ms Awesome but she's grown up redside....
Transdimensional Events: the coming storm is actually a poly-dimensional Swarm that travels through dimensions harvesting resources. The Multiple paragons/Rogue Isles being so close makes it a rich feeding ground for the swarm. Players would have an option of following the swarm and fighting it as it moves from dimension to dimension
Pan-dimensional PvP: every new technology has someone willing to exploit it, maybe the powers that be could introduce a nemesis type of system where you can track a criminal across dimensions
but mostly, well, why not? It expands the playing area and player experience without having to write a load of new areas
Expansion- dimensions you can travel to and hunt or do arcs (if written)
Paragon city or rogue isles after succumbing to the zombie plague, super zombies a la marvel zombies?
paradise isles: everything is wonderful. Things couldnt be better... or could they?
City of Steel: Council robots rebelled nad have taken over paragon city. the rogue isles are under attack and Lord recluse has found himself as the last defender of mankind
City of night / the night Isles: The redcaps failed in their attempts to force the tuatha and the fir bolg into war and both sides joined forces against their aggravators... and then went on to conquer the lands aroudn them. Now the Tuatha rule and overgrown paragon City while the Fir Bolg control a destroyed Rogue isles
Hamidon unleashed: The devouring Earth succeeded in theirplans and Hamidon now occupies most of Atlas Park. Mitos roam the streets absorbing the energy from anythign they find. Herders move groups of humans from farm to farm where they are grown as livestock... Positron, with his radiation powers has carved out a safe have in Skyway City where his resistance move to try to contain the Hamidon's forces and someday reclaim the city but first he has to find a way to maintain his uneasy alliance with Ghostwidow....
City of Atlantis : the coralax succeeded in waking the leviathan and the rogue isles were swallowed by the oceans. paragon city has taken in the survivors and modified the war walls to hold out the oceans. Enemy coralax patrol outside and villains inside the walls have made bargains with both sides to achieve their own aims...
