Societies?

01:44 PMThe current situations with the societies is absurd. No one ever joins a society for roleplaying reasons, just for power. Way too often on messages boards I see people asking "what society is better for my character?". It's really just sick that one of the societies was supposed to be completely secret, and due to powerhungry un-roleplayers, everyone and their mother knows about it.

On the other hand, due to the new dropping point in Ta'Vaalor and the trip to the landing not being possible for under about training 6-10, depending on your profession luck and friends, and an itching suspision I've had about Icemule... I think that there are other societies out there. Anyone else ever wonder? reg

02:28 PMInteresting thought...

Of course, if there really was a third truly secret society, we wouldn't tell ya now, would we? Because you obviously aren't cleared for such knowledge...

That's a rather large generalization to make. The majority? Maybe. But not 'everyone'. And if you choose a society for power, and work it into your RP, more power to you.

I don't really think so. There haven't been any suggestions that I've seen. reg

04:12 PMIn actuality, there are a number of people I know who have joined a particular society because of RP. I have a gentleman friend who uses the powers of the "other" society to pretty good effect with his storyline.

And I know quite a few Voln zealots would could have benefitted from the "other" society's powers better, but went with Voln because of its focus. I definitely think Voln lends a heck of a lot more towards open RP, unlike the other's.

05:18 PMIf there was another society, the majority of people would know about it relatively quickly. Unless, the entrance to the society is puzzled and the ones to enter have sworn eachother to secrecy. In this regard, I doubt the powers of the society would be completed because it would be a waste of time for the GMs to make an entire list of abilities appealing to a very small number of people.

P.S. I heard a big buzz about a new society emerging with the creation of Elven Nations, but no one has spoken of it since. reg

That was only speculation.
