Hi guys,
Just an update on the first part of the new Story-Arc RP that will be held on Wednesday (9pm gametime). As said in my other forum post this is part 1 of a 4 part storyline act, with each act being held each week. The difference to regular RP events is that their will be “branches” within the event that, depending on the rolls, will result in different things happening during and after the event.
If you’ve ever played a modern day RPG (Such as Mass Effect or Knights of the Old Republic) then you’ll understand what I mean by choices causing the story to take a new direction.
The first part is the Death Knights / Vartus / Barunita and the remaining Wolfcult member Betruger launching an attack against a joint Horde – Argent Crusade task force that has located a shadow-orb of the former mage Arugal. In order for the Wolfcult to begin recruiting new members, the orb must be secured by the Scourge. (The Orb allows the Wolfcult to spread the curse while allowing the victims / willing members to retain their humanity and not degenerate into a feral nature)
However, once our presence is known, the Horde and Crusaders are not likely to give up the object without a fight!
So you can expect the following at the event Wednesday:
- 5 possible outcomes depending on how the events playout (three of which will happen in future events)
- A boss battle
- Introduction of two key enemies that will influence the remaining RP’s
- Opportunity for the Death Knights to show their skills in one of our first full fledged RP battle (not involving other guilds!)
- A few nice little surprises along the way!
The meeting point shall be on the stairs leading between Zul’Drak and the Grizzley Hills. I look forward to your attendance at the event!
