The gods have fought their final war, now this new virgin world blooms with life. However not all is safe, as the darkness that sought to swallow creation crawls forth from the chaos to once more consume all in its path. Now is a time for heroes to rise to stand against the void and claim this world for their own.
This was the blurb that sold the most popular VRMMO to ever exist in the early 2100's, Worlds Beyond Ragnarok. Players were able to fully experience the game, taste, touch, and sound through use of even the lowest grade VR implants, making it easily accessible for people of all kinds. Using a revolutionary instant translation and full A.I. mastered interface each player would grow their characters differently along with the full blend of races, classes, and special evolution.
Many guilds rose throughout the games history, however one stood above all others, Odyssey, one of the largest and most powerful guilds cleared the way for others, facing even the final world boss and firmly cementing themselves into opening the way for a number of future expansions. Their exploits even reached news outlets and became a number one trending story for almost a solid month, with even talks of movie deals coming out of the final battle.
That is until one day, 99% of the player base of Odyssey simply disappeared. Their accounts deactivated and their items left in the guilds care. There was no reported drama on the forums, and those who knew the other players personally simply said 'they asked for privacy'. The sudden disapperance of the most powerful guild within the game was a mystery once again covered by news sites with no answers being produced.
That is, until a new request hit the forums for the game.
Odyssey now accepting new players. Accounts must be lv. 1 on fresh account. No smurf accounts, no hazing. Players that join will recieve a Legacy of the Gods class weapon upon joining.
And like that the rush was on, some players wanting to claim glory as one of the members of the top ranked guild of all time. Some are hunting the story of what happened to the original crew, and there are some who are just chasing fun.
What kind of player will you be?
Welcome to Worlds Beyond Ragnarok, an RP about people who play a game. So the premise of this doesn't really have much to do with the actual mechanics or running of a proper MMO, in fact the game itself is a secondary mechanic to facilitate player interaction. Players are encouraged to write adventures and drag other players along with them, keep communication going, write when they feel like and drop out when they feel like so long as they write their characters logging off if they are leaving, and just...be. Maybe your character is a roleplayer who gets really into character. Or a serious gamer who is looking to level up to a legend in the guild. A video maker who wants to use this as their chance at fame? Or a reporter hunting the story.
There will be occasional world quests, but players can take them optionally and still build about their personal adventure. This idea came to me as 'what if players had the freedom of a university RP but in a video game?' All this being said keep the characters respectful, just like any game the A.I. admin and the guild leaders reserve the right to purge nonsense from the game.
If you have seen shows like Sword Art Online or the like you kind of know whats going on here, except without the twist of it being a death game or getting lost in another world.
