Dark Legacy MUD Forum

I know alot of you guys are gonna flip out when you hear this poposal.
Why not bring the deities of DL to life. Filled their role with mortal players. Players that play these deities have to be very secretive--no one should know who their mortal characters are. Deities will interactive with players however they wish. Of course there will be a few rules that they have to obey.

1. No deities may kill a player
2. All deities are permanently RP according to their description
3. Deities cannot generate items of worth
4. ?

These deities are similar to the greek gods. They interact with mortal daily lives. They can be cruel and oppressive or merciful and benevolent. They may wage war against one another. They may reward those that worship them and punish those that dishonor them.

I think this idea will make DL ALOT MORE FUN.
the flip side to this idea is that there's alot of potential abuse. I'm sure if celeborn have time to limit what deities can do will greatly reduce abuses.

So what do you guys think?


P.S. maybe the deities can get some sort of sacred animals too

SWEET!!!
I completely agree that we need more Imm interaction to drive story lines. You could in time have guilds dedicated to one deity
that are in constant battle with each other
Creating Deities that are meant for player interaction only, would greatly increase the role play side of the mud, and create oppurtunities for not only PvPfun, but also could lead to a Deity commanding attacks be brought against certain mobs and/or towns
that "offended" them. In the process, creating FUN storylines for older and newer players to enjoy.

Problem is trying to keep the total secrecy, which i think is impossible. Someone somehow will tell another person via the internet or any other means and that could lead to asking for favors etc.etc.etc.

Secerecy will always be an issue when it comes to DL and any kind of Imm

Especially when our imms like to tell their friends and various other people who alts are

unfortunatly though, we have players that will keep askin an Imm whos who and what are they doing,etc,etc.
My thought is WHO CARES!!! Play the game for yourself,and if you want to knowwho they are,ask them. If they dont want to tell you, that is their choice.

Or the god could just kill someone after being asked more then zero times. That'd be a fun trigger for them to have.

you willing to be the one its tested on?

Yah sure why not, it's not like i've never been a test dummy for death before.

If the paga gods themselves don't tell the people, the imms will tell them, that's my point.

But it shouldn't really matter because the gods shouldn't have enough power for it to matter.

er... wow... you weren't supposed to say yes...

Well it's not like death is anything to fear in DL.
