Ruby

Ruby had chuckled when she had said out that she flatters her with a giggle squeezing her hand a bit, she had looked over to her and said with a smile "Thats the point Alexxy~", eventually they had began walking and she had spoken out about her adventures with Spencer the other day, however after Ruby had smacked her butt she had jolted forward with a high pitch yelp blushing retreating her arms to her rear, however she had hugged Jevi asking her to feel more safe, typically she would chuckle at her reaction however she was genuinely was worried about her health. However Jevi had let out a chuckle and said to her that she wasn't that helpless. Eventually she had spoken out about how she was alright, and Jevi was happy that they were both okay, eventually they had made it to the egg as the boss had just hatched from its egg and looked at Jevi and Ruby, Ruby had looked over to Jevi and said "How about you fight this time... I'll support you." she leaned over and gave a peck on her cheek as she had let go of her hand.

Ruby had felt a little bit better after Pixel's response, there was no hard feelings especially in this sort of world, however she wasn't going to hold it against her especially if she was still a little bit mad at Ruby. However looking forward Pixel had moved to her sides as she had sank a little deeper in the water and said that she just had been training a fair bit and she just wanted to relax a bit, Ruby had chuckled and shook her head it was basically almost similar to the reason why Ruby was here. However she had asked if she had looked cute in the swimsuit she was in, Ruby had looked down trying to see what she could see of it, however she wasn't too big of a fan of the separate colors she had looked up to Pixel and said out to her "Well... its okay, but I am not a huge fan of the two different colors from the top and the bottom, and I just feel like there are much better or cuter options out there if you are asking for my opinion." she smiled.

@Shadowpixel

Ruby's eyes had opened a bit in response to saying it was past noon, however Ruby had shrugged it off and said to her pointing and wagging her finger at Telrenya "It's morning to me okay." she had let out a giggle. Eventually Telrenya had said out that she was trying to get a familiar, Ruby had gotten a sour look on her face just mentioning the term familiar, she had said she was getting along with Adere: Jomei's familiar and she had thought that maybe getting a familiar would hopefully have Adere open up to her, and basically she was a alchemist and wondered if she could help. Ruby had chuckled as she had opened her inventory "Well... I haven't been able to make anything worth while yet, I still have one item you can use though." she had gotten out the item "Def. Not Fruit Punch" from her inventory and placed it in front of her offering it to Telrenya "Go ahead, drink it, I'm not gonna try to get a familiar anytime soon, if its impossible for me to find it with search and detect and my stones, i doubt this bonus will make it any better." she smiled.

@Telrenya

Ruby had grown a more angered expression as he had grabbed her hand and moved her to a dark alleyway, "The f**k you trying to pull here?" she had yelled out, Neo had gave out a bit of information, mostly just up to one thing to another about a snowball fight war that he had started, then asked if she could come with him, Ruby had pushed him against a wall and said "F**k you! You think im going to believe your stupid story, and even if it was true I certainly help what you started. Especially since you took me in a place like this, dont you know anything about what you should and shouldn't do in this world? F**king anything but taking someone to a dark alleyway." she turned and walked away and didn't care what or where she was going, that guy only had ticked her off, eventually she had walked to a nearby indoor restaurant looking for some place to eat. She stood inside waiting in line to get some food.

@Neo

Ruby had listened to the man speak, however as he had spoken out she had only gotten more and more mad as he had spoke out till eventually she had said out "Look guy, its not god damn hard to look where you are walking to or running to. You have two eyes, use them. I cannot tell you how many times guys had ran up to me and try to make it seem like an accident." she rolled her eyes, however she had taken a deep breath when he had introduced his name and asked to start over, she had said with a bit of a grudge "Its against the better judgment, but fine kid. My name is Ruby, quite a fateful encounter today I suppose." she had said to him then looked away to anything that was in the background that was much more interesting, however this man was already on her bad side and it wouldn't take much for Ruby to just up and walk away really.

@Neo

Ruby had felt a little bad once she had said that after she had offered to stay here, Ruby mainly just wanted to relax however she didn't suppose having someone to talk to around here would be a bad idea. Eventually Ruby had asked for her name and she had said out that her name was Shadowpixel or Pixel for short, then she had returned the question asking what her name was, Ruby had let out a small chuckle and said out to Pixel "Well Pixel, its very nice to meet you. I am Ruby, apologies for my behavior I have a bit of a time-bomb nature and its been pretty stressful." she had placed her hands from the sides of the pool to her lap and gave her a small bow. She had straightened herself and leaned back and said to her "So Pixel, what brings you by the springs anyways? Been having some stress yourself?" she asked.

@Shadowpixel

Ruby had yawned, it was pretty late at least for normal peoples standards, she was still in her nightgown as she had heard a knocking on her door, she heard it was Telrenya. Ruby had let out a groan and got out of bed. She had stretched her arms upwards and wiped her eye a bit as she walked downstairs to the door. She had opened the door still wiping her eye and said "Geez Tel, why do you have to come see me at such a early time..." she had yawned and stepped back inside and said to Tel "Come on in Tellybaby, close the door on your way in." she had opened the door to a living room type area and took a seat at her table on one of the chairs and looked to Telrenya offering her a seat "Come on take a seat, don't be a stranger seeing their friend for the first time. What'cha coming to me at this time of the day Telly?" she had asked unaware of what time it actually is.

@Telrenya

Ruby had wore her new outfit she had gotten from Sapphire and she had went back down to the first floor, why she was here seemed to be a bit of a mystery as to why she was even here, its just she had found herself here without thinking. She had looked around, it surely was a bit of time since she had been around on this floor, or seen anything here, she had mostly stayed at the eighth floor at her store or had been training or traveling around on the higher floors. She had sighed, there wasn't much to see here in the town of beginnings, however maybe she could find something outside the town that would be a little more exciting or interesting. However before she knew it a guy had ran into her and she had fell on the ground, Ruby had looked up to him and said getting up by herself "Jesus if I had a dollar everytime a guy ran into me and said the same thing i'd be a millionaire. Watch where you are going."

@Neo

Ruby had let out a sigh, she couldn't be too harsh on the poor girl as she wanted to just relax. She had sighed and looked back forward to the girl that stood before her and said a few words, however it was rather rude to just assume that she wanted some company since she was by herself. Ruby had looked towards her and said "If I wanted some company I would had joined some of the other people in the other caves. I came her to relax by myself." she wanted to tell her to buzz off, however its pretty hard to find a community to stay especially if you arent of age and look extremely cute with some groups, and its a little hard to find a pool of water thats not taken. She had looked towards the woman and sighed as she had said out "Alright fine, you can stay here. Since you are here, what is your name?" she had asked out with a bit of a annoyed look.

@Shadowpixel

Ruby had given her girlfriend Jevi a chuckle when she had said out that someone was excited, she snuggled her head into her neck and said "Well yeah, its not everyday I can go questing with someone as beautiful, cute, and as caring as you." she moved out of her neck and gave her a small peck on the lips. Before long they were walking along the path towards the location of the boss trying to get caught up with all that had happened in the past two days, she had asked if she had gotten into trouble or what she had done, she had gone out and said that she went exploring with spencer and found a pyramid however they got trapped and had a chase out by a horde of zombies, Ruby let go of her and gave a slap to Jevi's butt and said before hugging her "Be a little more safe..." she held her tight, before long she grabbed her hand again and said "Ah, it was fine, all i did was heal everyone and then try to take the last drop when I thought it was low enough.." she had let out a chuckle.

@Jevi

Ruby had slipped her thoughts to simply nothing as she had relaxed in the hot springs after the floor boss and just a bit more boss fighting with her girlfriend, truly she needed something like this as it had been quite a while before she could really catch a break and just enjoy whatever she was doing. However in the middle of her relaxation a woman had shown up where Ruby was and fell into the water backwards, however she had stood up and tried to play it cool. Ruby had gained a bit of a annoyed look towards the young looking woman that had sat in front of her "Smooth. Yeah I suppose it feels nice however I was enjoying the peace and quiet if you ask me." she had let out a sigh and looked away from the woman with a little bit of a annoyed look, before looking back "Are you needing anything from me? Do I owe payments to someone I don't know?" she asked.

@Shadowpixel

After a long two days of fighting the floor 21 boss fight along with doing some Dragon Hunter Anthology with her girlfriend Jevi, she had wanted to just take a moment to relax and get some stress off this virtual skin, she had heard that there were some Hot Springs located on floor 21, matter of fact she had heard that there were many. The only downside she had heard that there had been a few incidents that have happened there, however Ruby just wanted to get some actual relaxation. Ruby had arrived at the Hot Springs in a secluded area away from many many players wearing her swimsuit placing her blanket near her, she had slipped into the water "Ahhhh~ this feels so nice." she had said to herself as she smiled and moved her head up closing her eyes placing her arms on the outside of the water on the ground relaxing.

@Shadowpixel

Ruby had pulled Jevi a little closer to her body saying out to her "I promise to keep myself safe Jevi, after all I never want to leave your side." she giggled and gave her girlfriend one more kiss on the lips. She had giggled when she had said out that she wasn't scared, Ruby had moved a bit further to Jevi and said "Are you suuuuuuuuure? Sounds like it might be a dragon we are fighting. Last chaaaaaance." she had let out another giggle. However before Jevi had said anything she had immediately grabbed her hand and said to her "I was lying, there are no last chances, you are coming with me cutie~" she moved and gave her a kiss on the cheek before walking with her down the path where the Information Broker had pointed her, walking down the path filling up the silence Ruby had looked over and asked out to her and said "So anything interesting happen while we were out fighting the floor boss, Telrenya get into some trouble? Spencer doing whatever he does? Did you get in some trouble?"

@Jevi

Eventually Ruby had received a notification on a reply back to her, Ruby had smiled and stayed in the same place waiting for her love to show up, eventually she had shown her face and wrapped her arms around her neck, Ruby had wrapped her arms around her waist, Ruby had let out a small chuckle as she had said that she was glad to see her safe, she had looked at the side of Jevi's head and said "Did you ever gain any doubt in your mind?" she giggled. Eventually she took her head away and looked at her before moving in to the kiss, Ruby had kissed back. She offered a smile to Alex as she pulled back with a step asking about the quest line, she had said out to her "I've got a lot to catch up on Alexxy, I gotta just be a little more useful in these fights on its progression, I can't sit around all the time. This quest line is called Dragon Hunter Anthology and from what I have heard its simple enough. Or... are you too scared?" she giggled.

@Jevi

Ruby truly had felt at bliss as Jevi had planted a kiss upon her jawline and rested her head on her shoulder, cuddling up on her placing a hand upon her lap, Ruby had nuzzled her head into hers as she wrapped her arms around Jevi's body and held her tightly. She just laid there and enjoyed the company of Jevi in her arms as they had cuddled, before long she had looked down at Jevi and moved her upward to give her a long kiss on the lips before nuzzling back her head upon Jevi's, it wasn't long until she had drifted off to sleep, however she had grew a little more worried by the second about tomorrow's floor boss, she wanted to be like this forever, however this could be a exceptionally great reward for getting past, she really wanted her to be with her forever, so she supposed that now more than ever she had something to fight for, at least something that makes her really happy.

Thread Complete -

Ruby - 1 SP

Jevi - 1 SP - 400 Col

Ruby had let out a small chuckle as she had went on about how much stronger she was in comparison to Jevi and hopefully its not so hard of a quest, she had gave a kiss on the top of her head as she said out to her "Ah I don't think I am that much stronger than you, I am just a support character with martial arts to carry myself not too special Jevi."s he had finished her sweet wine and placed the empty fask upon her night table and she shifted herself on the bed getting tired, she opened her arms to cuddle her "Well, if you are wanting to stay in the same bed, why don't we get fully comfortable and cuddle a bit" she had let out a giggle and waited for her to make her move. She hoped she was down for some cuddling as it had been a long time since she had someone to cuddle to sleep with, if at all to be honest, it had been a good dream of hers to have.

@Jevi

Ruby had stretched her arms upward, the boss fight had proved to be a huge challenge however, she was lucky it wasn't so AoE based and she could heal the majority of her party and made sure that everyone was alright. She had gotten up from her bed and put on her Mechanical Princess outfit and found herself moving to the first floor, today was the day that not only would she get Jevi's butt into shape by taking on a quest line, but she had a special date in mind at the end of it. Ruby had stepped down from the floor teleporter and leaned up against one of the light poles and opened her menu's to send her girlfriend Jevi a message:

Quote

To: @Jevi

Hey cutie~ how about you head to the first floor so I can get that cute butt into shape with the questline, see you soon?

Ruby had giggled as Alex had grew flustered, Ruby had places a hand on her leg and said out to her "Man, you're so cute when you get all flustered" she leaned forward and gave her a kiss before going out to her the glass of wine along with herself one. Ruby had gained a intrigued eye as she had put on a oversized black sweater, she offered the wine in front of her and said out "Don'tcha think that a oversized sweater is kind of the same as a night gown?" she giggled "I guess you dont like the feeling of silk." She sat down and leaned against the bed frame and took another drink of the wine with a smile, she pulled Jevi closer to her and said "Only with you being here." she took another drink, she looked down on her lap and looked over to Jevi and said "Hey... sometime after the boss as well, do you wanna do that dragon hunter anthology quest line with me? I need the extra SP to be honest." she let out a giggle.

@Jevi

Ruby's eyes went wide with horror as she watched the entire first group face Tesseleth's wrath as fire rained down upon all of them. The woman froze as she scanned the fire, looking for any sorts of life, and as the flames began to disperse, she could see the four bodies of the players still standing, their armor set ablaze from the mighty fire. Knowing that they were okay, she returned her attention to the fight, catching a glimpse of Beat as he laid another attack into one of the Dragon Knights. "Hey!" she called out to him. "Here, this should help again." Holding her arm out, palm extended, the woman used her Sharpness skill, adding an advanced boost of damage to the man yet again. The blonde then turned yet again to look at the dragon, gulping hard. She hoped that they would not face the same fire that the other groups did.

Ruby had smiled as she had exclaimed out yeah before a few moments of silence and she had exclaimed out asking if she could stay the night, Ruby had smiled and said before giving her a quick kiss on the lips "I would love to, but no sexual stuff!" she wagged her finger at Jevi before pointing towards her closet of clothing "In there should be a few nightgowns that I had gotten from Sapphire, if you wanna get more comfortable you can use one if you wish to Alexxy." she chuckled before standing up to stretch "I'll be right back" she said with a wink before walking into her kitchen like area and gotten two flasks of a sweet wine and brought back the wine and said to her "I thought we could enjoy a drink while you are still here though, thought you would enjoy to relax and enjoy a nice drink." she chuckled offering the wine to her.

What had she gotten herself into? The blonde healer struggled to dodge the rocks and debris that fell from the ceiling, each taking a large chunk out of her health as they slammed into her. She could not help herself, she was scared stiff of the large dragon that threatened her very life, towering stories above her head. The sight of the dragon's piercing red eyes sent chills straight down to her bones. Clamping her eyes shut and gritting her teeth, she shook her head, trying to get rid of the fear. No, I have to help. I can't just stand here, she thought to herself. Throwing her arms out in front of her, palms facing outward, she concentrated her healing energy. A blue aura encased her hands, as well as all of the members of her party, bringing all of their health bars back to max. Her own health had increased as well, though not the max as the others. As long as I can keep them alive, then maybe I will make it out of this.

@Daeronand I have talked on the Discord for some time and he has set up another thread where he promotes all of his ideas regarding the whole PKing issue (where the hotfix is about to drop in a matter of hours, days, years...) as well as his ideas how to cooperate "free PKing" with the thread invasion idea. I strongly reccomend to check the thread out and give your opinions on that matter. After I'm done with that post I will also share my thoughts on his ideas. 
So have a LINK to his thread and be sure to check it out!

@Endilix Thanks for the great input on the matter! 

• Threads based in safe zones are always protected. 
  • Self explaining and I love it. 
  • Earlier today I was also talking to him on Discord and he showed me an amazing game concept that I thought I have to share here. 
    He took a lot of his ideas from the game EVE Online and the idea of Emergent Gameplay. That basically means, that if you want a living, breathing world, you want to create content that has borders, but otherwise allows players to create their own challenges within a reasonable frame. EVE Online does this by having the most rare things out in dangerous space, but allowing players to play the entire game locked away in a safe zone.
    So maybe we could even extend that protected zone from just safe zones on every floor to a general invasion prohibition on floors 1-5 + all other normal safe zones on all floors.
• Invasions should be tied to skills.
  • I also like that idea very very much. Gives stealth more usability besides being all edgy and stuff. Tracking mod would finally become somewhat useful. I like I like.
• Create PVP centric content.
  • Oooooh baby, how right you are. But worry not. As soon as this thread invasion thing is either out and released, or ditched and forgotten I will get to that. I have already talked to some players about that and I want to present it to you guys as fast as possible. (AFTER this thread is done. xD)

@Eatos It seems like you somehow missed the point. This thread is just about the topic of thread invasions WITHOUT actual player killing. The last topic I set up in this section was about the PKing issue on 2.5, and we came to the conclusion that we should never allow players to kill other players without their consent. This hotfix will go out as soon as I get green light from the GM's (They need to check wording, grammar etc.)

@Vigilon, @Jomei and @Morgenstern 

About cooldown and tokens:
Yeah, of course it adds some work to the players as well as the Player Support team, but I feel like the mechanic with the tokens would be the easiest thing to track tbh. If somebody wants to invade, they need to take care everything is correct and they have 3 (or god knows how many, the 3 I wrote was just a suggestion) FINISHED threads that took place AFTER their last invasion. (these threads would of course have to be tagged as such threads in order to keep track of them.) But then its easy to check because time stamps on threads never lie.

Otherwise I could suggest something like this:

• Players once again have full control over their RPs and can state in their journal/profile if they are open for thread invasions.

Just saying that this takes away the purpose of the whole mechanic, since players could do that right now even without that patch. xD

And last but not least, @Macradon and @Ruby

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about why you don't like that idea. You guys have some strong arguments, but thats what those Protection Tokens would be there for. You can protect your really important threads as much as you like (we can even talk about getting 1 Token every 2 threads). And if we add the ideas of @Endilix with using actual skills and the tracking/sneaking skill I'm really thinking that we can use this mechanic in a way to improve the RP experience on the site. 

Additionally to that: If we implement the mechanic and it gets obvious that it doesn't work and that players hate it, we can still push out a hotfix to get back to old rules. (That totally is not happening right now with the 2.5.1 hotfix for 'free PK's for everybody' rule. xD)

And to close that part of my reply: 
I don't want to think that all invaders will do that just to annoy or bother anybody. I do want to put my trust into the community and say that they will use the mechanic to ENHANCE the RP experience and not to destroy it. And if I'm proven wrong, *insert stuff from a couple of lines above* We can still kill the mechanic off if it doesn't work out. 

 

 

Soooooooo. Now that I've replied to all of you guys and gals (Don't worry I'll get to your thread @Daeron) I wanna present you with a couple of choices on how to continue with the development of that idea:

• Do you guys want me to flesh out the idea with the tokens
• Do you want me to ditch tokens and start working on:
  • @Endilix ideas
• Or do you want me to throw the idea away. (Don't think that's gonna happen with 11 Yes and 5 No votes, but still. xD)

 

Be sure to let me know, AND be sure to check out Dareon's thread with his ideas. Until that, see ya next time. xD

No that is NOT as much as you like, if it truly was as much as you like then we wouldn't need a token system anyways. I am strong for my stance on this, its have the tag be free or I simply I am just not for it.
