Just some thoughts and requests for ideas, so be nice.

I am sure that there will be forum and HOW-TO's for the upcomming expansion, what I am looking for is to put a team together.
The teams goals will be three fold:

1)
General (lowkey?) background areas, whose focus is on briniging knowledge about Atys from the site and into the game.

2)
Scenic areas, to show of the graphics in SoR.
Mundane areas, to answer trivial questions like "where do homins get their food from".
Ruins with a story to recover (think minor dungeon with a purpose other than loot).

3)
Story archs and events (the real challenge ).
NPCs will actually have something to tell you, some will lie or ignore you (fame will mean something, so beware!).
You will need all you skills to succed.

Of course to get that ingame will require a lot of work, even for a team.
All that is asked for, is that you want to make it work, you don't have to be a master at anything.
That being said, there are of course some areas which needs skills (to name a few).

Tech: Map makers, script writers.
Writing: Story and speech writers, translators to French and German.
Misc.: Ideas, testers, cheerleaders.

Now bring on the constructive criticism.

Singing up as tester and cheerleader and some ideas/feedback

Signing up as general map designer and idea deliverer. Not too good at coding, but plenty of ideas for awesome places and descriptive mood settings.

Edit: just remembered, sign me up for translation duty (English to German, German to English) too.

Well i just wish you all luck... i will be most likly doing my own thing with rings but if and when things get started... i am always around to offer help...

Me code. Understand not. Ugh.

I think this is a fantastic idea. At the very least a fan or nevrax made fansite devoted to R2, where people can exchange tips, talk about the hottest new areas and more

I do think this is a bit premature, but by all mean dreams away!

<== Cheerleader

well, of course it's a bit soon to be planning most of these things, we need to get an idea of exactly what it's gonna be possible to create.

If we have control of npc scripts and missons (with fame requirements) then getting some stories/events penned is more than possible, and will be amazing hopefully more info to follow soon..

Well if testing gets involved autumn for a winter release, theres plenty of time to make a fansite ready for it

i already have a complete plan for storyline and map layout and stuff in my head, so i think i'll just stay in my 1-man team atm
but i will create a r2 fansite when i have time
