Crystal Isles RP Basic Lore

Tim Stonks — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 19:17:33 +0000

You were either born on these islands, or you have come from another world. If you were born here, you know nothing of modern technology - you know only of the world created by a powerful deity: The God King Horatio. You may hail from the Weshen Kingdom, a proud feudal nation ran by the benevolent Queen Sela Greycrest. You could be a traveller from the prosperous Estros Empire, a society that places wealth above all else. You may be a disciple of The Order of Horatio, the secretive religious group that both protects the God King’s sacred ground as well as enforces his will. The Order mainly keeps to themselves, but you know that when they get involved - they wield powerful magic that can wipe out entire towns.

If you hail from another world (another ARK, or a fresh clone in the system), something seems very wrong with this world. Every tribe you encounter seems stuck in the late middle ages, strange and fantastic creatures roam the lands, and on top of that the earth itself is fractured and highly artificial. You glance at the implant in your arm and notice something… most humans here do not share that same strange device you carry. In fact, they seem terrified of it.

(For our first session, to test everything out, your character will be either living or passing through the Weshen Kingdom, looking for work/information)

ARK RP Survey

Tim Stonks — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 22:08:15 +0000

So in order to make things interesting, we may try something different when we get to Ragnarok. We'll still spend some time in Aberration and the upcoming Exinction map, but afterwards we might try out a roleplaying server. In order to make this work, however, I'll most likely be dissallowing item and dino transfers to this new server (character transfers will probably be allowed). I know some are into this idea but others are more interested in progression, so I'm putting up a poll to get an idea of what everyone wants to do: ARK RP Poll[www.strawpoll.me]

I'm willing to open a second server for RP if you all help donate and are interested enough. If we do choose to open an RP server, it will likely be focused on medieval/renaissance technology, limiting TEK and modern weapons. We'll supplement this progression with mods such as CKF and Old World. I will also crank up the XP and harvesting rates so people can focus less on grinding and more on RP. The more serious the RP, the easier leveling up and harvesting will be to supplement this. PVP will be allowed but only when it contributes to the RP and when both players agree to it - while it's allowed, it will not be the focus of the server.

I'll pick some people to help me admin this and flesh out the system, but in the meantime here's our options at the moment:

No RP: We play Ragnarok just like any other map, focusing on progression, farming, breeding and murderizing the bosses.

Light RP: We play with some basic RP rules. Characters/plots can still be pretty goofy and wild. New Life Rule (NLR) will be in effect, meaning past grudges/interactions will be disregarded upon making a new character and recent intereractions will be ignored upon death. Metagaming enforcement will be light, and things said in general will be regarded as an "announcement" your character makes to the world. Things like combat and dungeon runs will, for the most part be normal. Random Death Match (RDM) will not be allowed, however, meaning you need an IC reason for fighting another player or their creatures.

Mild RP: We play with some semi-serious RP rules and expectations. Characters should be at least somewhat believable. All IC dialogue must be done in local/radio (either text or voice), while Discord chat will be regarded as OOC information. Permadeath will be present, but only when it contributes to the story, otherwise deaths will be treated as "severe injuries". Interactions with players will be turn based until they agree to start "free combat," meaning they can engage in combat with normal game mechanics. Obviously, you will need a good reason for engaging in PVP.

Serious RP: We play with the expectations that this is purely an RP server - your items and characters are forfeit - the only thing that will persist is your character's legacy. All dialogue and actions must be done via local chat/radio. Permadeaths will be common. Combat will be turn based and metagaming enforcement will be heavy. Overall, you're expected to respect the RP and storytelling over all else - items and dinos are only an accessory.

Upgrading (and donations... woo...)

So people want more RAM. RAM need monies. Link to thing to throw money at server to make it run better:

(7DTD) Twin Peaks Sewer

Tim Stonks — Sat, 16 Apr 2016 19:56:58 +0000

We will be hosting a dungeon event on the 7 Days to Die server, similar to how we did it back on the minecraft one. Same rules apply: you may not place or destroy blocks once you enter the dungeon. Recommended to bring friends along. However, we are a bit limited with automatic functions, so if you would like to run the dungeon with enemies, narrative and extra loot, contact an admin to host an event for you. Otherwise you will just be exploring a mostly empty map.

Whenever you happen across a corpse with a name spelled out in it's inventory, let the admin know you found that named corpse and they will give you a note to clue you in on the story. There are ten of them in this first one, so try and collect them all! And please leave the notes where you find them so other players can get them (and so I don't have to keep replacing them).

Without further ado, here is the prompt for the dungeon:

** A letter from Noah's group has been circulating settlements in the surrounding area. You find this note [docs.google.com] at your doorstep.**

Minecraft Server Status (Important)

Tim Stonks — Sat, 27 Sep 2014 01:20:53 +0000

So the minecraft server usage has been going down and has pretty much grinded to a halt since 1.8 came out. The lease is about to expire and I need to know by October 10th if we're going to continue the server subscription (and well, we'll need donations by then to keep running too.) If you don't see yourself playing anytime soon, let me know. Or if you'd rather us convert the server into something else, like a vanilla 1.8 minecraft server or another game NFO supports, let us know that as well. Or if everyone decides they all feel like playing again that works too, just let me know. Either way, I'll backup the minecraft server data on my computer in case we decide to bring it back some other time. If we don't find another use for the server and/or don't get enough donations by then we'll have to shut it down.

IT'S UP

Tim Stonks — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 03:05:32 +0000

The server is now back up. Go go go.

Ressurecting the Minecraft Server

Tim Stonks — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 18:17:59 +0000

So we will be setting up the minecraft server on a dedicated NFO server. This means less lag and (hopefully) it'll be up 24/7. We'll be going for a 20 slot so it will be roughly 40 bucks every 3 months. If anyone wants to chip in for it, you can donate to Coldrageclan@yahoo.com via paypal. Once we have enough for the first payment we'll get it set up.

EDIT: We're now using NFO's direct donation system. This way people can be assured it's going directly to the server.

[Minecraft] PCT II Has Begun

Tim Stonks — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 02:37:33 +0000

The second city tournament has begun with a bigger arena, more matches, and even more emeralds to be given away. This time we will be doing round robin, so if you lose a match you aren't out of the game, the winners will be based on total points scored throughout the tournament. Each match will be arranged between the players once again, feel free to make your own schedules ahead of time. Players will decide if the match will be a BENDING ONLY match or SWORDS ONLY. Both players must agree for it to be a bending match. There will be FIVE rounds per match. There is plenty of room to utilize bending abilities in the new arena, so bending matches are encouraged. If you haven't been to the new arena, it is below the city plaza, just follow the signs in the sewers.

1st place: 125 Emeralds
2nd place: 50 Emeralds
3rd place: 25 Emeralds

Banned moves:
Bloodbending
Lightning
Tornado
