WELCOME, BETA TESTERS.

//WELCOME. IT'S TIME TO BEGIN THE TEST."



GAME: START!

Welcome to The World! We're excited to have you all joining us for our merry little MMO adventure. Consider this your Official OOC Intro Post™! Go on, introduce yourselves.


AU PLOTTING.


If you've yet to solidify your character's AU or want to plot with others, please take the opportunity to do so before the game launches on July 29th. If you have any questions or comments, grab a mod! We're here to help. Additionally, please ensure you've familiarized yourself with the premise before sticking out feelers for any additional planning.


EVENT PLOTTING.

Events go live on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month. You may preview tomorrow's event here. Going forward, all events and plotting will go up on the same day.

Main navigation here.

//NOTES


⬣ Your first event goes live 7/29/23 at 12PM EST.

⬣ Please keep your plotting within this post as not everyone has Plurk or Discord.

⬣ Contact a mod with any questions or concerns.

⬣ Follow [plurk.com profile] theworldrpg for updates.

Plotting:

Matoba's in-game name will be 0koto! It's "Makoto" in goroawase, he will roll his eyes if you pronounce it Okoto. He has yakuza-adjacent stuff going on in his AU out-of-game backstory and also causes problems On Purpose, so here's some hooks for plotting:

• Matoba has probably been around some other MMO's under the same name or variations thereof, so feel free to recognize him/his reputation for being a dick. If you're a civilian, there are rumors from previous MMO gossip that he seems involved in some shady stuff offline but no real solid details.
• On the other hand, if anyone else has a backstory niche involving Japanese underworld/crime background (or hey, how about local detectives/cops!) I'm up to plot some longterm background drama around that!
• I saw some brief guild plotting on the interest check but where da scumbags guild at...
• Matoba is extremely bigoted towards non-humans in his canon and this may manifest as some xenophobia here and there in-game, feel free to hit my opt-out if you either would like me to keep that out of our threads or opt out of him altogether!
• EDIT OH RIGHT He's a Water-element Shadow Warlock!! He's here to do damage and debuff people for fun idk

Anything else? QUICK Q FOR MODS I swear I saw this discussed somewhere before but I couldn't find it again... What options are available for characters that want to troll as far as using alts or I guess glamors/display name changes for... mischief 👉👈

Anyway shitpost he's gonna eat so much virtual cake

on mobile so god I hope this html doesn't break

yael is absolutely going to pronounce his name as okoto and then rolls his eyes right back at him

to answer your q: beta testers only have access to one account and one character, and while their avatar's name in fragment can't be changed, they can change their display name on the forums as often as they like.

haha, got it! the endgame to this is just Matoba and Owen's stupid back and forth trolling spiraling into hatesex so we'll get there somehow

WHAT MILKY SAID RE: QUESTION

fai is absolutely going to mispronounce his name though but he'll think it's funny once it's been explained to him... causing problems on purpose can be fun tbh

[personal profile] worldbent 2023-07-28 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)

chinhands I would love a thread with matoba during the event!! I've love to see where that goes
worldbent: (Can't feel anything)

[personal profile] worldbent 2023-07-29 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Watch Matoba play surprisingly well at 'politically savvy and genial' and perhaps very poorly at 'normal and productive member of society'

that's the vibe until the both of them say Something Off in different ways

joonghyuk's a pro gamer so he might have heard of matoba if you'd like c:

EITHER WAY looking forward to trolling/scams and offering this guy as a tribute (he wouldn't fall for a scam probably but no one is immune to trolling)
worldbent: (we are near)

[personal profile] worldbent 2023-07-29 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Likewise, Matoba might have heard of him if he plays MMO's professionally! Not surprised a bigshot pro streamer like this would be sponsored to test the beta, right....
