Yes, but their worlds are not the same. It's a question of graphics, really. Would you rather live your life in 2D or 3D (well, not quite but you get the idea)? No I dont get the idea, Exile and Avernium are just two names for the same thing, same file size same gamplay same graphics, so double to you too, unless you prove me wrong... Ahem did I just state the imposible?

Why aren't Dragons on the list!!!!?!!!!?!!!?!!!?!!!?!!!?!!?!??!?!?!!!!!!
Beacause only (I'll get rid of this since its another game if you want) the upcoming Horizons has dragons as player characters, no spiderweb games do so there.

Other wise Its definatly the Nephilim, though it seems odd that my entire Nelphilim composed party (apart from one slith) is always treated, even when going into a Nephilim camp as "we dont usualy let humans in" or "we rarly share these secrets with those of your human kind"

I don’t go for good graphics over story, you usually don’t notice good graphics because your
generally to concerned with the actions in the game world, so its always story first for me,
especially the one of homeworld (which incidently had great graphics as well)

I have been in many RP's, big and small, trivial and meaningful, future and past, technology
and fantasy... but never have I encountered any quite as big or in depth as the ones I find here
at the spiderweb software site boards. I ask with an inquiring mind of how to start? how to
enter and RP and stay in it... please can anyone aid me?

Best song in a game in General
Apprentice

Doom had and still has great music, serous sam had posibly the grandest pieces during sequences of inactivity (about 5 miniuts in the whole game) and the origional unreal tornament had the most adrenalin pumping no-stop-lets-frag-for-ever music ever!!!

however possibly the best music ever ever ever for imotional impact had to be Homeworlds take on 'adigio for the strings' (third level, where you see Karak buring) that music was so powerfull it made me cry! also the battle music was pretty neat as well!!!

but in the end my favorout music goes to Battlefield 1942's intro and menu music, just that beat... du da du da da da du du du du da da...

MDK and MDK2 also had some of the funniest and most exilerating music albums ever, tell me if i missed anything...

(((now this has got to be a first on spiderweb)))
Gregory Mypolifarniopalibrotenwech looked from the top of his mountain, well actually the old imperium but no-one cared these days, and looked down at the town several kilometres down, wraped his four armes around hinself and pulled out an old fashined 'zipzap physical data device' (otherwise known to everyone else in the galaxy as a pen and paper) with his 5th, he looked up at the crimson sunset, thought all the happy people in the town looking at it now since the 3D Telivisions had all been sabotaged, and then he sighed at the thought that in nine minits it would all be demolished by a vogan/heartless**** constructor fleet.

I do recall(as anyone who knows me from, say a fortnight ago) that I made the same sugestion, yes i can beleive its a monthly thing, but since i posted the idea I have wisend and thought of possibly the biggest problem:
Story and timing; now all of the spiderweb games rely on excelent stories that continualy move and advance, but you get to go at your own pace, letting you drink in the rich tapestry of the story as you like it, and if you put the same thing into a mmorpg then you have the problem that not everyone is online at the same time and go at different paces, so regulaer and deturmind players went on it it would all be finished before the more casuel or intuetive players even logged on!
the point is that spiderweb games are desighned with just the one player in mind, and take advantage of the players patiance and rewards it well, howerver if you look at Neverwintern nights multiplayer, its very rarly about the story beacause some idiots just rush ahead and kill everything completing all quests whiles those carrying interesting conversation are left behind, meaning that NWN is as far as i am concerned a combat orientated multiplayer RPG, whiles it is fun it really couldent be put into say exile:3/Avernum:3.

Hmm, well no one seems to like this one so I'll start again, but first off, is it actually posible to be totaly origional in this day and age? i mean everything has been explored, no phase-shift-dark matter-organic buildings-world or anything is going to be terribly origional, but i must try IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Awakening RP the background, charictures, scenes etc etc_files/frown.gif) .... jease why did marvel comics cover so much!

hmm actualy thats not a bad idea, though its been coverd in sonic the hedgehog (issue 126 I think), what about a world completly filled with superbiengs, you know, like everyone (bar twins) have a different superpower, from the most trivial (e.g custerd-pie-making-man say) to those that will really make a difference (Life-creator-man, totaly-anti-evil-man, or even Ego-bigger-than-kerion-gillien's-man),
any good? i've got a fair idea that your going to say its too unbalanced and easy to wreck with bad charictures but i dont care, throw all you got at me till i think of something worthwhile.

Point taken about paragraphs IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Awakening RP the background, charictures, scenes etc etc_files/smile.gif)

Well I dont want to start this RP straght off, not untill we've got at least a semi-completer world on offer, unless someone wants to attempt a 'on-the-fly' go at using it in a RP?

A bit more on the spiecies: the Kaal as far as technoligy goes generaly stick to what is fast and easy, peticuly with weapons, prefering to wield four daggers or short swords and charge into battle, rather than spending time slowly advancing with a more effective when handled correctly pike, but they wont leave more advanced technoligy when they can get it, generaly thieving 'arcane crossbows' (really a sort of enchanted gunpoweder weapon) and such from the Higaren when they can get them. the higaren tend to mass in one place, usualy around what they beleive to be a 'sacred' spot where up to 5000 individuels may gather!

the Higaren race will almost always go for the new and more flashy weaponry that they develop and advance far more rapidly than the Kaal, giving them a certain edge whenever they are in confilict.
Also unlike the Kaal, the higarens will almost allways try and share there knolage with others of thier creed, though genaraly new knolage is barterd by one settlement for other commodities, though the ones reseiving the technolagy generaly always give as asked, thier wander lust driving them for more knolage.
the Higaren are the builders of the major cities.

The belanche are can really only be described as nomads, allways moving from one place to another, carrying what few possesons they have on thier backs. They prefer to stick with what they have, advancing thier technolegy whenever thier travels let them.
they carry small tents with them, usualy made
of Tough plant fibres and thier own fur. they will almost always use weapons that take advantage of thier naturaly high dexterity and agileness, more a poisend dagger and compound bow with steel arrows than Two handed swords and guns.

another thing I want to ask, is this at least fairly origional in any way? i mean the whole setup not just the content of this post.

I dicided to create something diferent from the norm, and I've decided to ask for the help of all here in creating it, tell me what you think.
RP name: Awakend world (or just awakend)
Scenes: Techno fantacy cities (main city 400 squar kilometers) and grand glittering 'citys of the Ancients' all surrounded by Lush green Grasslands (think Serengeti) with very frequent rocky outcrops (from 1-2300m high), the lands are easily manipulated for a while (more on it later).
Background: this is a world, which has only recently (a couple hundred years, compare that to planet earth) been created, in the beggining there was only the barren sphere and the three ancients, 'Time', 'Energy' and 'Space' with space leaning on the power of energy and time and energy depending on time, 'Space' can create all matter and sentient life, and can manipulate most matter (but not the life) once it has been created, energy is what you would expect, the force behind the roling wheel to the roaring thunder, without 'energy', 'space' can not create matter and life, so nothing would be produced from there forth if energy deprived Matter, then thier is 'time', the timekeeper if you wish, he keeps time flowing and can alter it at will, reversing or pausing at any moment, without 'time' the ancients 'energy' and 'space' could not funtion, no energy would move and no matter would be created (but time remains, running on itself and nothign but itself), these ainchients sometimes grant minor abilities to mortals, the power to summon creatures and matter from 'Space', the power of energy such as lighting bolts and fireballs (not to mention the effects of gravity) from 'energy' and from time the power to minipulate time to a limited degree around an certain radius.
anyway, in the first few days the ancient of Space created all that was on the world, the mountains the grass the trees and the creatures, energy gave life to all that was deemed fit to live (including some elementals) and time made all run at an acceptable pace. the creatures created by space were large small, strong week, slow and fast, and he chose for three races to be above all the rest, they were the Kaal (a four armed warrior race with the heads of bulls and a body of scales(about 4-6 feet tall)) the Higaren (great craftsmen with three eyes (the third providing great nightvision) a chitin exosceleton and a heads like dragons(about 4-6 feet tall) ) and the belanche (be-lan-chey) (Inqisitive and with great speed and grace, excelent co-ordination of bodily movements, they resemble the niphilim from exile but stand only 3.5-5 feet tall, they unlike the others take life as a case of Ying and Yang, but try to keep balanced)

this is the first draft of my idea, could you please comment and perhaps add bits?

An amusing (for the sadistic among us) true story about suicide.
thier was this man who had had the most miserable life you could emagin, deaths dept and so forth... anyway he decided to kill himself 'good and proper', he tied a noose to a tree overhanging a cliff... he then drank a gallon of bleach... and then he pulled out a pistol and put it too his head... so he jamp of the cliff neck in noose, his hand jerked so he shot the rope letting him fall, in mid air the velocity made him throw up all the bleach, and the tide was in so he survived the landing... he was taken to hostpital after deciding to live life after all... and then died of hypothermia from the water... or well as they say... **** happens IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards suicide methodes (3)_files/smile.gif)

Now Considoring the rich and varied tapastry of RPG's that I have played, I have developed a certain preference for certain creatures over others heres my top 3
1.Rakshasi: Brilliant and beutifull tiger Demon that are ace fighters and absorb just about all spells
2.minigon: (usually) hard as nails construct that looks dead cool in the procses of smashing your skull in
3.fyora: A shapers cool red Lizerd dinosaw thing IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards kobalds, Rakshasi and Beholders, i wonder what is everybodies favorout RPG monster_files/smile.gif)

I've played geneforge and loved it, it is a fresh breeze amoung the still, arid, derivative games that I have played over the last few years, strange mad and utterly brilliant (not unlike A-Tractor) anyway I just thought what would make it utterly utterly brilliant, A MMOPRG version of it, I told you it was silly but does anyone else think it would be good?
