FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is all this?
A: Myths of Midgard is a panfandom AU musebox game based on the world of Ragnarok Online. It will loosely follow the game's story line with monthly/bimonthly events based on the various episodes.
Q: Do I have to play Ragnarok Online to RP here?
A: Nope, no prior experience is required! The setting isn't strict and the story line is going to be loosely taken from the various episodes of the game. There will be a game guide to get an idea of what you're in for, and we're always happy to help you find your feet and work with you!
Q: I have a friend who wants to join in, and we totally have an idea for our characters. Can they join?
A: Yep! It's going to be an invite only musebox game though, so just let us know who they are before hand so we can accept their request to join the community.
Q: What kind of characters can I drop in here, and are OC's welcome?
A: You can play any character from any canon you like. We even allow minor characters with little canon and OC's! As long as you can develop an interesting back story, and keep their personality true to their canon were happy to have you. All we ask is you have a HMD to keep your characters personality IC.
Q: How do you handle au versions of a character?
A: We're already an AU so an AU within an AU sounds weird \O_0/ . However As mentioned above, this world is known to have its clones and its robotic creatures so another version of a character running around is actually a real possibility. If you can imagine it, and can work out a reason for it, it can be!
Q: Do my characters have to be human?
A: Chances are your character will be human, but if you can write a believable history/story/reason for your character to be part demon/animal/android what have you, then go for it. The world of ragnarok is known to have humanoid monsters, demons, clones, and even robotic beings.
Q: Can my character have their abilities from canon?
A: Not exactly, it will depend. In the world of Ragnarok there are set job classes that have varying kinds of skills specific to them. So you're sure to find something that fits, and there is a guide! Also we're always available to answer questions and find ways to make things work! As mentioned above, we're going to be pretty laid back and creativity is a beautiful thing~!
Q: If my character dies, what happens to them?
A: You get respawned/resurrected in a safer area within 24 hours. You will be a fair bit weaker for the first day however, and still have less lethal versions of your wounds until you find a healer or you recover naturally. (Find a high priest/priest/acolyte and beg for heals, I dare you)
Q: Is there any way to be revived sooner?
A: Raising the dead is a talent that the healer class has. However their spells and methods will have varying levels of success depending on how skilled they are. And you'll have to stay out of trouble for a while because you'll have zero energy to perform what ever skills your known to for the 24 hours, unless you can get your hands on a recovery item. You'll be able to do little things after the first few hours, but that could drain you and risk getting yourself sent back to square one recovery-wise. But we all know, desperate times...
Q: The job class guilds exist, can player run guilds exist?
A: Yep! If you and your friends want to start a guild with particular goals/personal plots in mind, go for it. Come up with a creative name, titles, and a crest! There may even be an event focusing on guilds in the future depending on a few things!
Q: Speaking of events, what kind of events are there planned?
A: Monthly or bimonthly the will be a large group post quest. A request from the king to go explore an old ruin, check out some new lands that have appeared, or bring back some great treasure. There will also be festivals, celebrations and tournaments held in various cities depending on the month and what's going on. ...Oh and before I forget, did I mention there are hoards of monsters waiting to organize and attack random cities. Not to mention those great treasures are usually guarded by some over powered boss monsters. Giant goats with scythes, dragons, and even giant badass reindeer things, certainly nothing you great adventurers can't handle... right? 8D
