Elder Tales was originally an American MMORPG created by Atharva Inc., a Los Angeles-based company. Over time, as Elder Tales popularity grew, the number of servers expanded up to 13, when Elder Tales became a fully-global MMO with a server on every continent. Each server has its own company running the game, coming up with their own special events, classes, and subclasses. However, transferring to another server is as simple as taking a Teleport Gate or a Fairy Ring to another server, having no restrictions. Furthermore, to allow better communication between players, there is a highly-accurate automatic translator that works even for voice chat.

The world of the game, Theldesia, is based on ours only at half scale, mirroring many cities and landmarks in it’s own unique style. It is built on what is essential a post apocalyptic earth with run down, overgrown buildings and skyscrapers littering the land.

Elder Tales functions as most MMO’s, offering the player to choose a race, class, and one of several subclasses that are usually roleplay centric. In this RP, Race won’t have very much impact other than character appearance, but Class and Subclass have benefits worth pondering.


Our story: It has been about a month in game since the apocalypse, which refers to the event on May 3, 2018 that trapped all players who were logged in inside of the game.
It was triggered by the release of the game's twelfth expansion pack, Homesteading the Noosphere. Among its most immediate effects was trapping over several hundred thousand players worldwide. The NPCs, known as Landers or People of the Land, were also affected by this incident. Depending on the perspective, either they suddenly gained memories, personalities and backgrounds. Things were rough at first, with no idea whether one would respawn anymore and all the food tasting bland and all liquids tasting of water, but over time the adventurers adapted. Cooking foods without the in game menu gave them flavor and a brave, stupid, or suicidal adventurer discovered one could even respawn.

In the last month, the people of the land have gotten more bold and bitter toward the adventurers, players are in disorder and have taken to killing others as opposed to the monsters, and guilds have started becoming the pseudo government. One guild, Neon Colossus, headed by the Elven Bard with the Noble subclass known as Parks, is known for ruling alongside several other guilds that act as a pseudo-government for the area known as the Cleftlands, near the great lakes. Other guilds in this alliance include an formerly purely roleplay guild known as The Knights of Bahamut who take Lawful good to new levels and act as the police of the city, headed by Platinum Knights who act as sheriffs, and several other crafting, raiding, and merchant guilds, none with more power than another.

When making a character, feel free to make them the head of a guild other than Knights of Bahamut or Neon Colossus or just a member of one or even guildless! Feel free to be any level, 1-92 as very few will have had time to get higher without socially isolating themselves and hard grinding. Being in a guild will have no affect on your power level in game. You can even make a Lander character who just happens to hang out with us, or even a Lander turned adventurer.

Let me know if there is interest!

Things to iron out:
Conflict: There's several ways we could run this, such as a political angle, a PvE, a PvP, or just a casual hang out RP where we occasionally throw plot at each other.

Awesome, any ideas on what you'd want more for the plot line? I can write up enough material for all three scenarios but I wanna get player input before I write a whole bunch that I have to throw away.

@Experiment 249 Honestly, I'm fond of casual hangout RPs, but for me they never seem to last, so I say if you have a story or plotline that you think would be fun, I say go for a PvE, because then at least we know you have an end goal for us. Just my two cents for now!

Interested, seen a fair bit of the anime but I agree with @Denny we need a bit of a plot. While Slice of Life sort of stuff is great, an actual goal would help keep things together.

Got it, I'll get to writing some PvE plotline, but I'll mix in some PvW stuff to so we get some sick Lander tie ins. I'll wait for 1 or 2 more people to respond before I toss the OOC up and get Character sheets out.

This RP will be starting 12/7/2018 at 3pm EST, feel free to submit your apps still, the more the merrier. We have a decent size group but we'll be running it so that the post order isn't horrendous.
