Chrono Trigger/Cross RP via World of Warcraft
« on: December 25, 2008, 12:58:05 am »
Hello everyone. Well, I've been an avid WoW player for 3 and a half years now and I've come to notice how the gameplay environments in it can pretty much adapt to even non-WoW RP. The playable characters as well, with a bit of imagination:

Here are some examples:

CHARACTERS:

me (Schala :P): Blood Elf Mage with long blonde hair, pale skin, gentle face, dagger, off-hand tome
Crono: Human Warrior, tan, spikey red hair, two handed sword (katana)
Glenn (Frog in human form): Human Paladin, tan, gentle face, brown spiked hair, two handed sword (claymore)
Janus: Gnome Mage, intimidating face, black hair (looks kinda blue)
Magus: Blood Elf Death Knight with long dark blue hair and pale undead skin, intimidating face, staff (scythe) (custom server weapon proficiency)
Ozzie: Orc Warlock, bald, dark green skin, menacing face ("Hi I'm Ozzy Osbourne, and I'm the Prince of Darkness")
Serge: Human Paladin, tan, gentle face, short black, two handed sword

LOCATIONS:

Guardia Castle: Scarlet Monastery
Guldove: Booty Bay
Magus' Castle: Acherus, Shadowfang Keep
Opassa Beach: Stranglethorn Vale coast
Zeal (floating isles), 12000 BC: various floating isles in Nagrand, not to mention some of them have waterfalls
Zeal (floating kingdom), 12000 BC: Dalaran (hey, it's pretty obvious: a magically-oriented city FLOATING above a snowy continent, were they *trying* to rip off CT?)
Zeal (snowy surface), 12000 BC: Dun Morogh, Winterspring, and various areas of Northrend

Are you planning on doing this on a private server? Also how would you overcome the language barriers between horde and alliance?

Oh, yeah I have one set up actually... Almost. The community that made the server just switched to Wrath of the Lich King so it's slowly getting unbugged. At the moment though, a big issue is that additing items by GM command or from mail do not appear in your backpack.

Never heard of that problem. It's a fun idea though. If you could get enough players on at the same time. It seems like it would be pretty challenging as there are only a small group of people here that like to role play.

I would just downgrade to BC content if the WotLK content is that broken. They will get it sorted eventually. It's better to have a good functioning game than a broken game with more content. Just my opinion though. I would give it a try since retail wow most of my time is spent in Dalaran not really doing anything anyway. I think you would have better luck with just a general roleplaying than a Chrono roleplay since you would only attract Chrono fans. A general roleplay would attract more players.

I know but it's really inconvenient to have 2 installations of WoW. I play subscription servers as well. Also the majority of WoW players are patched to 3.0.3 and will want to be able to play subscription too.

Okay, the server is now online. Please PM me for a request and tell me your desired username/password. This won't be online always, so take the opportunity.
