Legends

Van Cocidius · 13-04-2008, 05:12 PM

After a long discussion with that handsome fella' in the mirror, I've decided for my next project, I shall construct a museum! What sort of museum you ask? A museum, of Legends!!

The museum itself will take a good few weeks to be ready for the public, but it'll never be completed. It'll conduct of artifacts from historical events in Britannia, wax-work life sized statues of legendary figures, and much more.

I'm posting here because I need some help. I need to know who -you- people think are legends, people that have made a great influence on the RP community to date. I'm not asking for the NPC legends like Lord British and so forth, I want your opinion on other players around you from past and present who you think deserve a place in the museum. I can't garuntee all will get a spot, but those deserving and more popular choices certainly will.

So, would you kindly reply to this thread a list of people that you personally think would deserve this honour! Also, if you have any RP articfacts that you'd like displayed in the museum, your donation would be grateful, or if you wish to keep it.. a replica can be made.

Thanks, and God Bless.

[Shouldnt this be on the Europa Role Playing forum? Assuming its RP based?]

Now for my input. =0

“I'm posting here because I need some help. I need to know who -you- people think are legends, people that have made a great influence on the RP community to date.”

One thing over the years I have considered very many times and a great debating point.

Defining legendary needs some consideration also – there is a big difference between being a legend and being very good.

Is this legendary IC or OOC – is this about ooc helping the community or influencing the community or IC actions that have become legendary?

With respect – real legends are few and far between and most guilds have one or two at most.

What about criteria? Length of service? Making community events? Being a good arrpeer? Making stories for other players? Running your guild well? Helping the community as a whole? Being the bestest pvvvvppppper?

I know Van wants some good suggestions and it’s a ficking great concept but to introduce a UO – RP Hall Of Fame is a contentious issue.

Hopefully you might see some good debate on this rather than stupid flaming and pointless bickering about x was better than y and all the crappy ooc politics and hug crowd.

I have had a top 10 in my head for some time – will probably release it after they have all left UO

But legends should be real legends and not just “very good” they need to encompass a whole range of things not just cover one or two.

Best example I can come up with from the suggestions here and now is Twothumb.

Why? Great GM, did lots for the community, has been around since I was a whelp, listens to ideas, helps people with ideas, helped lead CoRE away from ERPA, kept up relations with Klion and CoY, allowed his “city” to be taken away from him for ooc reasons to help storyline, smacked people down when they needed it, lifted people up when they needed it, Twothumb is Vesper [no offence to current Vesparians intended]. Twothumb is a true legend because of ALL of those things.

It's on the Europa section, cus' I thought maybe some ex-RPers may wunna' put their input or summin'.. *shrugs*..

Seems Salem misunderstood the title of the thread.. by "Legends" I was referring to the Legendary RP characters on the "Europa" shard, hence why it's on the Europa section of the site, sorry to confuse you.

And now to reply what I did on the f4g.net site.

I'm hoping for a mixture, although the whole Museum will be IC - explaining to the visitors about the Legend on IC terms and such. So really I'm looking for characters that are of that untouchable status IG, though OOCly they've put alot into their characters and/or guild. And yes, I know it's a tough decision to give someone that title of a "Legend" but personally I'd look at it as one of the greatest rewards from my time RPing, to be known as a Legend.
Hope that helps a lil'!

nice concept....I would even consider making a char on europa just to see how it was implemented and designed

Van Cocidius · 14-04-2008, 03:35 PM

Well it wont be done for a good few weeks, I need to find a big enough plot first to build it on.. and then with that I have to design and create look-alike NPC's of the chosen Legends, although I'll post screenies up when it is finally finished, save you the bother :]

Melph and Siobhan Minos of Legends shard. Any takers. Goes for the cabinet.

Van, if you want a couple of earlier crafting legends then you don't need to look any further than Ulysses, with RAA, and Iron Chew, with ToR.

Those two provided the strongest backbone of crafting on Europa ever, and it's a shame neither of them are around so much any more to see the effects they have had. RAA is still going strong, but ToR the guild is sadly defunct - but the website is still a crafters' bible.

Ah but all of the old group of RAA are legends i think. You as well Melchiah, and Lien Ragus and Jaiden and oh my... *goes all nostalgic remembering the days when we all stood at Brit forge*
