Melodies of Life: Event OOC Post
 Having fled into the Dream Width, the Empress remains a threat that must be stopped. Whatever she has in mind, the Heroes of Light's duty is to find her and prevent her from causing any more trouble by pursuing her. But where is she going? On July 27th, the characters will reach their destination. Much to their surprise, they won't be stuck into their own memories or that of someone else, as the Dream Width used them to. Instead, they'll exit the Dream Width and find themselves in another world: Crystallis. Participation in this event will award 200 EXP for July and 600 EXP for August. This event will cover the entirety of the month of August. Characters will go back to Vaikuntha following the conclusion of this event, but may find things changed. More will be revealed in due time. Please post any questions you may have in this post.   Locations • NPCs • Bestiary • Races Crystallis is a different world with different Locations, different NPCs and different monsters. Yet for all the differences between both worlds one with a keen eye may find similarities with Vaikuntha. Indeed, Crystallis is the world spoken of in the ancient legends, the world where Kalki and the Heroes of Light clashed. Crystallis is a world marked by the technological wonders left behind by the Ancients and by the hundreds of thousands years prisoner of a cycle of life and death, one that only ended with the Heroes of Light's victory against Kalki. Why did the Empress go here? What connection do the new Heroes of Light have to this land? All shall be revealed in time. The world of Crystallis as depicted in this event is 10 Years after the conclusion of the predecessor to this roleplay, Melodies of Life. Many a thing have changed in the span of ten years, yet they may find familiar faces and locations awaiting them. The characters will land next to Aqures Ixen upon arriving on the 27th, a city in all point identical to the imperial capital back in Vaikuntha. An IC Log will be posted next week for the introduction, exploration and NPC Contact. Besides the Crystallian NPCs, Ganeshan, Claire, Biggs, Wedge, Jessie and Mogaruru are also there. The objective is to find the Empress, as well as learn why she came here and find what secrets this place hold. It is likely the Heroes of Light will have to contact NPCs to dealed with the previous Heroes of Light to help them... This event will not have any clear directions: it is up to you to contact the NPCs, make your presence as Heroes of Light known, deduces the likely places where the Empress went and get the means to go there. Should no direction be found, of course, the moderators will give hints. New Logs will be posted as the event progresses.  Who says new world, says new rules and new mechanics: • Mognet The most tragic tragedy of this event is finding out there is no network on your iMog Slate in Crystallis. Thank goodness, Crystallis has its own version of Mognet: it involves getting a paper and a pen, writing down your messages and asking your Moogle to deliver it to the recipient. What's that you're saying? "That sounds like the Dark Ages?" No no no, it's simply a far more elegant (and slow) method of communication! Besides, Crystallian Moogles can fly at the speed of sound, making delivery take only a couple of hours at most. You may call this "the dark ages of communication", but the people of Crystallis do not complain. And fear not: Mognet strikes exist there too, and are actually far more frequent than on Vaikuntha. It's like you never left home! • Shoopuf Airline That's a lot of new locations to explore, how are you supposed to do that without bothering Biggs and Wedge (the Vaikuntha ones) every other minutes? Simple, use Shoopuf Airline! Handled by the local Hypello, there are three daily airships going all around the world for free and stopping by every major city, all for free. Far more convenient than on Vaikuntha. And perhaps in time you will meet a NPC who can instantaneously teleport you across cities... • Advanced Jobs...? Ganeshan is about to get obsessed by something the previous Heroes of Light used in their fight against Kalki: a mysterious thing called Advanced Jobs. Rumors has it the Heroes of Light could combine two Jobs together and make advanced versions of their Jobs, with more skills and even more powerful than the basic versions! Why, rumor has it that Kalki herself created those Jobs... The Empress herself was using one such Job when she summoned Bahamut to destroy the world. Will Ganeshan be able to adapt this marvel to work with Vaikunthan Jobs? Only time will tell! • Friendly Monsters Crystallis is home to far less monsters than Vaikuntha, and some of them aren't even out to get you! Those are known as the "friendly monsters." Upon encountering them, they will make a request to you and in return give you some EXP. This is meant to be a way for newbies to catch up and get a lot of EXP this month, while veterans can still get some EXP out of this as well. Three friendly monsters can be encountered by each characters. Someone who has been in the game since the start can get a total of 175 EXP if they meet three friendly monsters, whereas someone who app'd last month can get 900 EXP. Encounters with friendly monsters can happen in groups and have to be logged to count. Please refer to the Crystallian Bestiary for more details.  When Melodies of Life ended, the Heroes of Light were given a choice: go back home or stay on Crystallis. It stands to reasons those who stayed on Crystallis may be encountered during the event, and have grown older since ten years have passed. Whether you are currently playing in the game or not, if you played a Hero of Light in Melodies of Life and would like to have them be a part of the event, please message the moderator journal. We will work out a role for you in the event, if you so desire. Furthermore, such former Heroes of Light can decide to go to Vaikuntha afterward or remain on Crystallis once the event ends (they will, however, have to be app'd if you take them to Vaikuntha). |
i probably have a million questions but
- During the last big event, the exp we gathered over two months was ICly deposited all at once when the time loops were over. Can we count the July exp at the end of this month or does it all just pour into the end of August? I think it's the first one but I just wanted to clarify since I did it wrong last time lol.
ALSO HI I LOVE THISno subject
- You can use your July exp at the end of this month.
Thank you!no subject
Thank you!!! :V
Questions
2) For exploration, is there going to be any mod involvement outside of the NPC Contact and Special Events threads? Or are we running our top-levels completely by ourselves, based on the info on the Locations page?
Re: Questions
2) For the most part, characters can freely explore on their own. However certain key locations are currently sealed and cannot be accessed— They will have to be unlocked through the NPC Contact and future Special Events, and may be fully modded for some of them (it will be indicated once the place is unlocked).
First of many questions as I try to get thoughts together....
Or it's more likely people will just think he's cosplaying...?
Re: First of many questions as I try to get thoughts together....
A few who personally met Sephiroth in MoL however (an item shop vendor for example, someone he worked with often, etc) may be deeply unsettled and unsure.

The Knights of the Round are an exception to this and while no one has summoned them since the final battles, it is possible to convene with them and enlist their help, granted one find the right place and right way to do it.
