[I]New Terra Online, or NTO, the most famous MMORPG in the whole world. People all around the world play it and it quickly escalated to the top of the lists in just a few months, thanks to its versatility and constant updates that keep the game interesting, along with a great attention to what fans say and write on their blogs or in the official page of NTO. Known for almost always granting the fans' whims, one of them thought it would be a good idea to suggest something jokingly, [B]'If only we could live in New Terra'......[/B][/I]

[I]You were a common player, maybe even a boring person. Maybe, the only thing you could brag about was about how powerful your character in New Terra Online was. At least, you were. One morning, you woke up in a foreign land, wearing clothes you had never seen before, or maybe you had. Desperate, like many others, you started wandering about and, in a lucky turn of your head, your eyes posed over a mirror, and there you saw it. Your face. Maybe, it was like yours, maybe it wasn't, maybe the sex didn't even match, but the one returning your gaze through the mirror was [B]that[/B]. Your New Terra Online avatar. Many panicked, others remained calm, others saw it as an opportunity. That's what may have happened to you, anyway.[/I]

[I]The new inhabitants of the world of New Terra Online soon found out that there was no logout button, or any other way to get out at that. They did notice a lot of changes, though, after figuring out the mechanics of the game all over again. The game had given them an option to re-make their avatar, to look more like them or to at least adjust it to your original height and sex, as well as the option to restore their abilities and levels to one all over again. While many discovered that the re-design of avatar was a one-chance opportunity, they also discovered that they could reset their levels and classes in-game as many times as necessary. After all of the interface discoveries, the players finally focused on their environment. Every server was the same as always, the servers being divided in 5, for each continent of the world, with Asia being the most prominent and famous, mostly because Japan is where the NTO HQ is located. In each one of the servers and in every main city of them, appeared a new building, The Church of Prayers, where people could go and pray. They soon discovered that the church was a way of contacting with the developers of NTO, and somewhere they could ask for even more updates, though they wouldn't heed the prays of people asking to go back to the real world. Apart from that, they discovered that uniting all the five servers in a rather convenient way, an isle had appeared. The Island Of Departure. The name itself was suspicious enough, and, when players decided to explore it, they found out that the bridges connecting to the Island were guarded by powerful bosses, which made them believe that the whole island was extremely suspicious now.[/I]

[I]They were curious. The Island of Departure may hold the key for them to return home. Still, not many were up for it. They didn't know what would happen if they were to die in that world. Many cowered back......[/I]

[I]Six months have passed. You've been trapped here for half a year, and finally, the Liberation Group, the ones trying to clear the Island of Departure, has amassed enough people for them to challange the first boss guarding the entrance. However, problems don't end there. A group, opposing those from the Liberation Group, has appeared. The New Terror. Changing one of the letters from the title of the game, these people want things to stay just as they are, saying they don't need the real world, and impeding the advance of the Liberation Group.[/I]

[I]What will you do? What do you [B]want[/B] to do? Stay in the game and live happily ever after in a digital fantasy? Or go back to the real world and return to your daily live rather than being trapped somewhere where you might die at any given minute? The choice, is yours.....[/I]

>.< Hello people! I bring you this, so we can roleplay! So, I was thinking that this RP will be character and player driven. You know, people can make their own races and classes, and lots of sub-classes!, along with the abilities that come with them. This RP wil be set in, ta-cha-cha-chan, Japan! Here we will be using a half GAIA project-esque approach, where the country in-game is divided to half of its real size. Of course, players of other countries who were in the Asia server at the time, will remain there, so you can have a different nationality if you want. 

I decided that in every dungeon, labyrinth or things of the like, I will be putting up a chart on the OP or somewhere else where you will be able to see the drops, monsters, quests and events you'll be able to find on said level. Some events may only be triggered by especific classes or with especific requirements which may or may not be disclosed, so keep an eye out for that! So, you can be a member of New Terror or the Liberation Group, or neither of the two, if you want that. Those little details may also help you trigger the different events and requests set across the island. 

So, thoughts? Questions? Suggestions? Feel free to share whatever's in your mind! As I may have overlooked some details about this idea, so I'd appreaciate the help.
