The answer is yes. Yeah, it's another attempt at an online game rp. However, this one comes with a twist! It isn't about being trapped in the game or dying in real life if you die in the game like the plot has been since the first portrayal of an online game in any form of media. I hate to say it, but the plot is done to death, long before it appeared in whatever first came to mind when you read that sentence. Since that thread lacks originality, what do we do to add consequence and interest to something that can otherwise be jumped out of as soon as trouble shows?
Personally, my mind goes immediately in the direction of Hunter X Hunter's Greed Island arc. Instead of forcing people to stay, they made the entry barrier much greater and granted tangible rewards. Not only this, but the inclusion of a real villain with the same goals as the heroes gave a looming threat that they eventually had to face. I want to draw on this idea, maybe the greatest portrayal of an online game in anime, to create something with a real challenge.
So, if you're interested in trying to find a type of real danger and obstacle for an online game-styled rp that hasn't been done to death, I'd love to hear from you! I'll be posting my own shortly, and you're more than free to put up your ideas for a conflict/plot. Once we've had a chance to discuss things, I'll be starting up a board based on the plot that we all agree on. Sound fun? Let's get this boulder rollin', folks!
