“I'm posting here because I need some help. I need to know who -you- people think are legends, people that have made a great influence on the RP community to date.”
One thing over the years I have considered very many times and a great debating point.
Defining legendary needs some consideration also – there is a big difference between being a legend and being very good.
Is this legendary IC or OOC – is this about ooc helping the community or influencing the community or IC actions that have become legendary?
With respect – real legends are few and far between and most guilds have one or two at most.
What about criteria? Length of service? Making community events? Being a good arrpeer? Making stories for other players? Running your guild well? Helping the community as a whole? Being the bestest pvvvvppppper?
I know Van wants some good suggestions and it’s a ficking great concept but to introduce a
UO – RP Hall Of Fame is a contentious issue.
Hopefully you might see some good debate on this rather than stupid flaming and pointless bickering about x was better than y and all the crappy ooc politics and hug crowd.
I have had a top 10 in my head for some time – will probably release it after they have all left
UO =)
But legends should be real legends and not just “very good” they need to encompass a whole range of things not just cover one or two.
Best example I can come up with from the suggestions here and now is Twothumb.
Why? Great GM, did lots for the community, has been around since I was a whelp, listens to ideas, helps people with ideas, helped lead CoRE away from ERPA, kept up relations with Klion and CoY, allowed his “city” to be taken away from him for ooc reasons to help storyline, smacked people down when they needed it, lifted people up when they needed it, Twothumb is Vesper [no offence to current Vesparians intended]. Twothumb is a true legend because of ALL of those things.
