As is the tradition with the solitude server most people enjoy and often post or regularly update 'journals'.

With this suggestion there would be an expansion onto the ROF 'pre-lobby' library strictly for said journals.

The suggestion would only take another small addition to the ROF pre-lobby and only the most exciting and thought out journal/diaries would make it.


As this would possibly be a stretch or unrelated I feel as though hosting this content within ROF would draw in more players to the already immense player anticipation to Solitude.

Along side entertaining the already large base of players on ROF this would open players to the other servers such as AOD, Elysium, TNT, or BB.

Some of you might come and say simply 'mai server best serber' Well sure that would fly in a separate server type deal, but as you can see donations go to ALL servers not just a singular one.

Continuing on that point meaning there shouldn't be a cutthroat competition between servers, but rather an opening collaboration as the above mentioned.

With collaboration one can even link the Six worlds we have together,
JTE where the world is settled anew evolving into
AOD where violence becomes widespread and wars start to explode into
TNT the wars escalate in scale thus leaving the world into
Solitude where life is nearly devoid to
ROF where a higher power cleanses the world leading to
BB where those who have perished may live truly peaceful without care and create to their hearts content without war or threat of destruction.

This could link the lore of the world's as something as one big timeline. After all we are allo ne big community.


With this ROF with its library would be the most suitable place for a gathering of the many servers worlds lore, the only remains of those 'lost and damned' from the past being these logs or 'journals' or if you will, lore.


The best point of this is that books are looked to be an overlooked part of ROF. Hardly anyone grabs a book from over there from what I've seen and with the linking of lore in place others from said servers it has the potential to bring cross server participation to an all new high.


The reason I drop this here is that I believe in this young forum where everyone is 'eyes on it' would receive the most views from cross server folks.

Hell to push it even further would be to expand a library in the main hub of the lobby however as this seems more ROF"s bag why not expand it there.

If you want to argue 'why would anyone need nor want to go and grab a book when they can simply read the forum;. Ah yes! a Twist! New lore to each world can have secrets, hints at secrets in new maps, codes, puzzles, cryptographs, and so much more!
Play-style tips from the staff limited edition books that hold maps to treasure or more! the incentives are endless and the possibilities open ended!

Please, As I'm currently unsure who to tag, do not hesitate to tag those you feel would offer valuable opinion along side your own. Or what section this may be needed to possibly be moved to.

Thank you and regards, lee_scar

I think this certainly is a interesting concept, but I also think the servers really don't need to be connected. I've actually tossed around a similar idea a few times, but creating a giant storyline explaining and trying to justify why servers around is a bit much.

There are always possibilities though, true. Small links, small things that can connect the servers, contain them in one universe is fine (references, building style) - but I think a whole storyline set down and limiting each server to one specific world is bad. I personally just couldn't take it seriously if BB was linked to AoD, when people die in Army of Darkness they float up to BuildBox and build for eternity...stuff like that. I must say this is a incredibly original idea however, and very interesting concept that has intrigued me for some time. If it were to be put in - as a little extra thing for the servers - it'd have to be done very carefully, and creatively. I'd love to see some more discussion on this topic.
