Atlantic Roleplay Community Boards

I find it funny that it only took a few days and a few posts for the diplomatic facade to fall. This was very poorly handled every step of the way.

I echo D'thal's post, except one last personal opinion; an EM-built point of interest is going to become one of three things: an abandoned husk, a center for roleplay, or a luna replacement where people spam to sell crap and hit their golems all day long. You've pissed on the roleplayers by telling us that it is a horrible reborn version of something that once was a roleplay landmark, and if the shiny bells and whistles that you put there to keep the non-roleplayers interested get boring, that leaves only one eventuality.

I have spoken to Eris regarding the tower. She is attempting to obtain input from the players who were upset by this and has advised me that her and Nestor have been asked by Messana to take the lead on this project. I did not get into specific details on whether or not the tower could/would be relocated as I figure those concerns can be addressed at the meeting. As it stands now Eris wants this new tower to be a Mage Tower for the community that will pay homage to the original AMT and is open to ideas to make it such a thing.

I volunteered to make a list of old decorations that stood out with the original AMT to help move things along in that regard. I did not discuss the Council with her as again, I feel the meeting tomorrow will explain how that will work. I feel like this moving in the right direction now and hopefully the meeting tomorrow will clarify the specific details on what can/cannot/will happen.

The one thing I think we should all keep in mind is, though the original Atlantic Mage Tower became a focal point of role playing, it was not originally established as a strict role play structure. As far as I remember the people on the Council were all Mage characters but not all were hardcore role players. I think the new tower will reflect that while still providing us an area to expose non-role players to the ARPC.

So let's step away from the negativity of who will be in charge, since it will be the EM's of Atlantic, and start coming up with ideas on how to make the tower represent the ATM of old while being functional in the current game to the point where it will be used.

I have several ideas for that which I will post later. Does anyone have any screenshots (besides those on stratics) of the old AMT? I remember a few things that should be included but it has been a long long time.

Thank you, Phoenix, for demonstrating that you are not the man for the job.

The tower that was depicted in the first post here is gone. Must've sank into the sea Wink

Absolutely we will. Eris, Nestor and Mesanna are letting Atlantic as a whole have input into our community tower.

This tower will be created by the community, for the community.

Now that all of Atlantic is involved, we will have input into where the tower is placed, its features, its structure, and what it can do for everyone on this shard.

Our EM's have always cared about Atlantic as a whole, and I'm glad they are putting that passion into this now.

As a side note, everyone be sure to attend the meeting tonight at 7:00PM at the Britain counselors hall. Bring everyone you can, even friends who don't roleplay, we need as much of Atlantic to attend as possible, from PvP'ers to rares collectors to roleplayers to all others, everyone needs a say in this.

I have told a few people via icq but wanted it to be public, I am working tonight and will do my best to make the meeting but will most likely be 10-15 minutes late.
