    Exploring new regions particularly fascinates me, since Tobias hails from a very specific portion of Keribas that I have yet to reveal any information about. Collaborative storytelling and worldbuilding in that vastly unknown area of the world we write in? Yes, please.
    Even a well-lit place can hide salvation
    A map to a one-man maze that never sees the sun
    Where the lost are the heroes
    And the thieves are left to drown

    Calm and Cold, and how they became Mithril.

    I wouldn't mind featured content, but it needs to be done in a way that doesn't involve heavy staff involvement and direction. When you think about it, the AC was basically this. If you remove the competitive aspect of the AC and just have a story there, expand on it a bit to give people somewhere to go, and leave it up to them how it's resolved, I think it would have some success. It could be a chance to write some new lore or expand on the current lore, which could always use more content.

    I actually want a tournament running at all times.

    The reason why Althanas comes to a halt when they are being run is because they are all inclusive. Tournaments should be 8-16 players max. Those who can commit the time can participate, while those who can't (or have no interest) can do other things. Recently, we've been holding open tournaments to 32+ participants. Thus, everyone signs up (sometimes more than once). A similar situation exists with clan wars. Clan wars were originally designed as 4-8 player skirmishes, but have gotten out of hand recently due to the inclusion of "mercs" in quorums. Again, when they become all inclusive, activity dies off in other areas of the site. Realistically, I think the easiest way to limit size in clan wars is to limit HQ benefits to 4-5 players. That way there's more incentive for people to leave their mega clans.

    Just my thoughts, but Lye is acting features admin, so that stuff goes through him.

    So plenty of votes for events and featured quests. Just out of curiosity, is anyone currently using the regional mission boards?

    As for featured quests, are you more interested in boss fight style threads, treasure hunting threads, or political diplomacy threads?

    Or all of the above?

    There is a darkness in you. In all of us, probably. Beasts we keep chained. Ordinary men have to keep the chains strong, for if we let the beast loose then society will turn upon us with fiery vengeance. Kings though...well, who is there to turn upon them? So the chains are made of straw. It is the curse of kings, Helikaon, that they can become monsters. And they invariably do.

    Boss fights would be pretty cool! Also hunting for treasure sounds like a lot of fun! My vote is for those two!

    Boss fights are fun and all, but there are a healthy number of characters who would probably be better suited for treasure hunts and diplomacy FQs. I'd say an even mix of the three, maybe with a little less focus on the intrigue threads. Like, I don't know.. A 3:3:2 ratio or something.

    This. We have a lot of focus on combat on the site, at the moment, and not nearly enough on other aspects of a fantasy setting.

    Precisely why I've made a character like Aephyr. I got tired of the run-of-the-mill RPG features. This character is best suited to things like Politics and Espionage.
