Which RP Would you prefer in Jumpgate Evolution?

Montaugh

I think new is the way to go. I don't know if I'd want to do a do over I'm not opposed to the idea of a restart but new would make it easier to get newer players involved while keeping things fresh for the old players.

dahalb

I think it should still have something in it from the original. In some form, perhaps an homage, we as vets should recognise things.

Lordopic

Same story base, just moved on a few hundred/thousand years so I sucrose that means im voting for 2 things at once, Keep the factions as they are their traits and such, but move on the time line.

netburnr

So the results are, the majority want a completely new story.

Which is kind of what I expected.

Now with that said, do you think the old "factions" should remain? Or perhaps something along the line of child factions. Three great races that were merged and then rifts created between the one faction causing new "tribes" or "groups" to conflict?

Or should the RP even be based off of group conflict?

Jump

I think if it follows the same story into the future then TRI needs to be more solidified as an entity. This of course could lead to rebellious sub groups. Or even a greater role for Hyperial and Amananth.

something new. I hate running around in circles and seeing old things again and again.. I never like to do things twice. Fresh start with new story is best way to go.

Make that a playable faction and I'm in. I did the Factional fighter thing to start with, which soon got boring. Lets see, are we going to defend oct space, fight in between, or go fight on the sol's doorstep.

After a few months of that I was getting bored with it, and picked up the Pirate RP, which was infinitely more fun.

Id like to see the story in a distant future from Jumpgate Classic... it leaves alot of options as TRI could be collapsed, solidified or what ever... factions can be in war, post war, occupying each other or what ever... important thing is that the herratige of Jumpgate is there and that the history is there for the immersion of it beeing a Jumpgate game...

I could care less about the story line. Give us some balanced and meaningful PVP and I will be happy

.

What makes this game fun for me was nothing less than all out squad warfare. Back in the day when we flew with 10+ ships and battled till the last ship, THAT was fun. When I log in now, and there are maybe 20 people playing total, and 2-3 of which have military tags, its not even worth playing IMO. We need to make PvP exciting again. Bottom line, to do that we need more people playing.....

my favorite part about the original Jumpgate is that we were the story. The "story" in this poll is really all backstory in my opinion. Rollio raiding sol space in beta, and OV marching all over sol space with insurmountable numbers the last time I played were far more exciting storylines than anything I found in WoW.

I think the key to a good MMO storyline (Jumpgate Evolution or otherwise) will eventually boil down to validating player RP/Action into official storyline. The fact that balrog was harassing people in unreg and flux space was always more interesting than anything that ran as TRI news...because it had direct impact on gameplay. The thing is...that should have been TRI news.

I sincerely hope they figure out some way to do datamining to alert GMs/Writers what's been going on....but I digress.

So does your face.

netburnr

Agreed, there needs to be a way for people to influence the RP this time around.

I'm assuming that a newer version of Jossh will be created, and I sure as hell hope that there is a way for people to go in and create RP on that site, that will then be reflected in the official RP both on Jossh and ingame.
