Online universe: LTH goes engl.

Post by Drow » Thu, 6. Nov 03, 18:22

Vendui pilots of the X-universe,


maybe some of you heard about a german pirate clan with the name Lloth, the name of the goddess of the dark elves in Faérun, a land on the planet toril somewhere in the forgotten realms of the AD&D universe.

We are the first official clan of pirates in the x-universe, and if somebody is asking himself what drows have to do in the x-universe, here is the answer:

We are fans of the x-series, but also of role playig games ans we have chosen the profession of a pirate for the online universe – if ever coming out *g*, and now we want to grow up to an multilingual international clan with members over the whole planet. For this project we need members and leaders and creative people who wants to help us to realize this visions of a big community of sci-fi - rpg gamers. Other languages like French or dutch are also welcome and if possible every language area will get their own section.

Visit us and don’t hesitate to ask us whatever you want to know. Most of us are speaking a little bit english (like me) and maybe somebody will find a new home in our halls.

@Omega - Childish is just your perspective over these things. Nobody is declaring war to anyone. You should also know that the battlefield also could be another game. We dont have to wait for XOU. If you dont like People who like to play with others in one team, you should stay offline. :wink:
maybe your kids can set up a clan for X-OU.
Why, do you know my kids? :lol:

To think preparations for online existence has not already started would be foolish.

STEALTH: Do you know Drizzt Do Urden??? I see you dont, because Drizzt would never kill another Drow, just for beeing a pirate. Just keep cool and dont forget - Its just a game. :wink:

So your going for a small fast ship then Drow :P

hehe

Seriously though, unless people go mad and take all this way too seriously, clans can be fun. In fact Xonline wouldnt be fun without some friendly rivally :)

However, pirates being pirates and blowing away somebodies hard earned ships and goods will naturally become the scum of the universe to most traders. So i expect some people will not like them too much. Especially since a player could just sit there and shoot every ship that passes him.

What scares me is that based on a recent chat on devnets chat channel, Xonline appears to be missing the same level of depth for pirates as exists for legal traders. Im hoping to be part of the beta and have my chance to put forward some ideas in that area, so pirate player are not mearly annoying but is actually a geniue way of life within the game with realistic goals and penalities.

Having a whole pirate way of life means police will be needed too, that is 2 things a player can do and make a living in Xonline. If pirates are just players that shoot things then i fear Xonline will not be that much different from any other game in this respect.

There has to exist reasons for being a pirate or a police men and there has to be in game rewards and penalities too.

Ideally moderators will not have to moderate by kicking people, they will simple capture them and put them in a holding cell or something. If that level of detail can be achieved then Xonline will be a sure winner.

Pay to play has the advantage of allowing those kinds of features to be added later after the game goes live.

so as long as we stay in a system with a sun the drizzt are not a problem :wink:

also a matriarchy so a swift trade in feminine products expected. :lol:

first pirate clan is a good idea though,
about time there was one.
cant wait to visit that corner of XOU.

I seem fleets of irrate traders sitting out side a pirate base waiting for them hehehe.

"There's one, kill it....boom!"

Turkey shoot :)

Of course pirates will lead to a need for escorts, another feature i hope is included in the game. EG pay a player to be a escort and pay him when he and his convoy arrive at the destination togather.

The pirate and anti pirate side of the game has so much scope its unbelievable and worthy of its own thread i think :)

yup..said ity a long long time ago...

XOU would be a waste of time without one pirate clan and sector alone.

its defences would have to equal the most powerful clan but the way it would run would mean truly massive membership,as we are all scurvy swine at heart or why would we play games about theft and slaughter. :wink:

of course theres always a danger that EVERYONE would want to be a pirate.
which leads to dualitys,mild mannered sweet shop owner by day and Shag McNasty the blood curldlingist swashbuckler ever to sweep a sector for naked maidens and gold pressed latinium at the weekends.

but the sheer off shoots from having a dedicated pirate clan in XOU would eventually take over whatever gameplay was intended.

we wouldnt get offline for gods sake.......
eventually someone would perfect virtual hardware and we would get catheters fitted......

then we could all link to a central hub for speed and ease of medical facilitys...
could call the hub....Matrix? :lol: :lol:

I think that most of us are pirates without any knowledge about their behavior and its meaning. Everybody is attacking pirates in X-tension as well just for being a pirate. Nobody is asking why somebody a pirate is or what kind of law made them to that. Like i already said, we are a group of people with tha same ( or most similar ) interests, who just want to feel free in X, to do whatever we want. In an erly Interview Bernd Lehahn said, that the profession, just being a pirate will be supported in X2 and that kind of profession will also be very interesting for gamers. In my time as pirate i saw many people with a lawful opinion and a extremly primitive behaviour. I think that real lawfull good charakters should give everybody a chance, before attacking him.

I dont think so. In most of the online games chaos rules. You should also think about the NPC´s. i think that they will take care about the balance in the game. That means - Many pirates - many police NPC´s or otherwise. :wink:

But i would say its too early to think about such things now.

best regards
