I was once in a guild long ago when Wrath was new. Yes, I have been playing that long!
We had a softcore Ironman challenge that was mostly ‘rp level to max without dying’. Since that time, most of my rp friends have vanished or moved on. But I am hoping some good solid rpers still exist and might be interested in my idea.
IC, Laredo is a dedicated scientist and researcher looking to improve the lives of the citizens of Azeroth. He is Forsaken and of course a bit absentminded, but his will to survive has kept him going for a long time.
My idea is a research and development facility dedicated to this concept. Reincarnation! IC you would be students or faculty helping the Dean of Life Studies (the GM).
This would be basically an Ironman challenge to level to max without dying. The regular HC rules always seemed to harsh for me. In my old guild we came up with a softcore version. All characters would have a voice in the choosing of the rules, and be bound by them. Your character would try valiantly to survive the harsh world.
Laredo would IC rez you if you die and decide to try again. You can choose however you wish: Start again with same character, or choose a different character/class. You must level from 1 to 85 without dying.
I believe this would be a wonderful concept to play around with. You will have full creative power to do your character as you wish. Whether you are a student or a faculty member, the lore should be followed as much as possible.
I would like to do this guild on Cataclysm Classic, soon to be raised to Mists of Pandaria. I loved the concept of Pandaria and the wonderful opportunities for rp.
I am open to suggestions and really would like to do this guild. Classic is so much fun with good friends. Will you join me?
