Friendly Advise for Pursuing Stories and Fun on CoA
-
DMs support player-driven stories: Tell us what you want to do or where you need help.
☐ Ask us directly, message the in-game DM channel, or reach out on Discord if we're available.
☐ We love players taking on difficult quests as part of a character story, e.g. “Goblins stole my father’s sword, so I quest to restore my family legacy,” or “I seek forbidden magic, so I’ll bargain with this cult of Bhaal or the sahuagin.” Story-driven motivations help quests feel fresh.
☐ Focus on storytelling, even in rivalry and competition. Confront rivals, challenge them, and create goals that clash or compete. We are a PvP server, and conflicts may lead to fights or climactic showdowns—make PvP part of a fun story for everyone.Some friendly advice
☐ We’re a 24/7 server with many stories and plots. Focus on one or two that interest you most. Trying to follow everything out of FOMO or a need to “solve all the plots” will burn you out and overwhelm others. Enjoy the stories that appeal to you, and let others pursue the ones that don’t.
☐ Sendings are mainly for coordinating in-game actions—gathering people for quests, exploration, or RP scenes. They are not for influencing the world or advancing plots. Use them to bring players together for fun.
☐ The forums are for communicating with players and sharing in-game discoveries. Feel free to use them for that, but not to influence NPCs or advance plots; DMs will not use them that way.
