Maxim: do you play?

Postby Sunblade » Tue Sep 13, 2005 4:06 am

Hello, writers.

Just a quick question regarding Maxim, the game with the roleplay forum attached - do you play, or post there?

I'm currently writing what could be the successor to Maxim, with a new setting, some code changes, etc in the hope of freshening it up and bringing some new enthusiasm and energy to the game/forum. Since posting has declined there over time, I thought I'd visit the other roleplay forum and ask whether you currently roleplay in Maxim or if not, why not or what could persuade you to start doing so.

Any feedback would be hugely appreciated, either in this thread, in the poll, email (dave@evernight.com) or over private message.

Thanks.

I play and post. I surely don't want that game to die, and am willing to keep posting over there. I think a fresh new world, new background, and setting would be cool. Everyone starting with new characters. I know some people would be opposed to it as they have poured years into their characters histories and whatnot. However what if we posed the idea to them. New characters (even if they have the same names and whatnot) new stories, fresh starts.

Current ideas are geared towards a change of scenery in a cataclysm-destroys-Maxim sort of way - if I go with this, there'd be roleplay leading up to it in the next couple of weeks so that if people do desperately want to play the same characters, they can make preparations for surviving (arks and so on).

The more fresh characters and roleplay ideas the better though, I reckon.

Player and a poster...

I was feeling a little depressed about the idea of Maxim dissappearing. Needless to say, if you're willing to put time and effort into the place (or a whole new place) there are a few of us around more than willing to reciprocate. I'll stick to that commitment, at the very least.

I've gotten pretty attached to my characters (and mine are mere infants in their development compared to some), but I have to admit new characters would be a great catalyst for some fresh RP.

I've never been a big fan of the game, but I began my writing life in Mo'Pri (which evolved into Maxim), and consider the forum my favorite place to be. I don't post in there as often as I'd like. It's difficult to get threads going in there when you don't already have a set cast of characters, which is more than a little discouraging. That's the main reason why I moved myself to this forum. I'm all for any changes that might give Maxim (or whatever the forum becomes) a fresh start...though I seriously doubt I need to be creating a new alt for a new game. *wry smile* I already get hell from Demmy and loads of others. (No, I don't have multiple personalities...and neither do I. *giggles*)

As for the game itself, well I really don't care. I only ever play when someone has enticed me with promises of regular quality roleplay and no need for me to really keep up my kingdom. *sheepish grin* I actually made an attempt to join a guild on my own within the past year, but that didn't last long. *shrugs* Whatever you do in the game arena is cool with me so long as the forum survives.

Good idea... I have not been around long enough to really get into everything, and I'd like to start fresh and start from the beginning. I'll probably start RPing in Maxim even if this doesn't happen but it would be cool.

if I go with this, there'd be roleplay leading up to it in the next couple of weeks so that if people do desperately want to play the same characters, they can make preparations for surviving (arks and so on).


That's also a good idea, Sunblade. If there was a big need of help I could help
