[quote=@Lugubrious] Hey there! We're always accepting, and would be very glad to have you. Level isn't the end-all be-all, since it's very possible to choose a character with some sort of ability or utility that's always useful at every stage of the game. We're lacking in abilities that don't relate to combat, for instance. Right now we're at an interesting point in the story, though. We're smack dab in the middle of two of the big boss fights that wrap up our current arcs. After that, we're essentially going to do some fun minigames. We're also probably going to do a relaunch in order to shake things up a bit. So in the spirit of said relaunch, I'd be willing to grant you entry at Level 5 rather than Level 1. Would that help? [/quote] Ooooh, nice, gotcha, Boss Lugu. I'll keep that in mind as I scour for potential characters I'm interested in playing as. That sounds cool, yeah, since grinding levels via arbitrarily extending word count through excessive purple prose is eh, and I'm saying this as someone who loves long posts. Starting at Lvl 5 would allow me to immediately join the cast without lagging too far behind. Hmmm, then, considering the current situation, for now, I'll just acclimatize with the world through reading more of the lore then write a CS (or two, if I feel like playing two PCs), but I'll wait until that relaunch before participating in the IC proper. Whaddya think?
