Ojaveda is a bit of a ghost town, fellow PlaneShifters. In character, this could be attributed to fear of plague, the fact that most of the city is locked down.
But out of character, I say to my fellow roleplayers: Why not make this our new haven. No newbs of any kind starting there. No Power Levelers coming back to life there. Being in Ojaveda requires going out of one's way, a place with no Arena, no nearby known wealth mines, a place where life is slightly wilder and slightly less civilised than the bustling streets of Hydlaa.
Join me this weekend in Ojaveda, the silent sandstone city of the feline people, the gem in the desert, the diamond in the rough.
Note: I'm not writing this to "blame" anyone, but rather, pointing out it gives an opportunity. Little to no disruption, a beautiful town with a nice atmosphere....

The coming weekend you say ... will this finally be the council meeting of the Enki alliance? Or did this already happen and I missed it due to the lack of announcement?
-
well for 1, i like helpin out the noobs, but besides that i get the excess access violations all over the place in oja, so its a no go for me :\ i cant even go to hydlaa without crashin, im fine everywhere else though ^^
-
Or did this already happen and I missed it due to the lack of announcement?
You haven't missed it :)
You know, a plague would actually be a very good IG reason for the sudden depopulation.
:woot:
-
ojaveda, the land of furries? no thanks!
i'll stick with noobs and the arena and all that... i don't see what's wrong with them.
-
And furthermore, the Community of Vaalnor would be slightly confused to see nothing but Enkidukai furtheron in Ojaveda. It has always been a center of economy. It is not imaginable without travelers from all races. Thanks for the head-ups, core clans - we won't forget Ojaveda (we just may have too few reasons to meet there at the moment).
-
Have no fear, we'll give you one or two reasons to travel to Ojaveda soon ;)
And its centre of trade will be restored soon enough - if only momentarily ;D
-
Well put Akaiddo. My members spend a fair bit of time in Ojaveda, but just RP'ing within our guild won't do much. ;) As a fellow core clan guild leader, where do we get together to talk about this stuff? ??? I think with the update it kinda threw everyone for a loop, and even now HC still isn't back up to full strength. Anyways, keep in touch! \\o//
-
I feel like going to Brado's tavern to give him some company. me--> :whistling: :( <--Brado
-
As an extension to the idea, let's start a "happy hour" in Brado's each weekend, perhaps two seperate ones for each timezone rush.
I'll let the Europeans choose their time and the Americans theirs, (LigH and Barike, suggestions please) and I shall do my best to attend. Let's have some merriness!
-
Funny, I see a handful of people - ones normally willing to roleplay, no less - when I head up to Ojaveda.
-
I'm not sure I could give a decent suggestion Akkaido... I'll have to see if I can think of some way to mark how many RP'ers are usually in/around Oja on a regular basis over the weekends... Or figure out how to set up an event... I know! We should see about setting up something kind of like the Red Crystal Den, but different... Something to liven Ojaveda up on a regular basis... And I agree Syenna, there are a few of us that hang around Oja to RP... :D
-
The late evening in Europe (18:00+ GMT) usually matches the afternoon in America well, especially for weekends -- it's just early morning around the date line then, and deep night in far asia.
-
That's 6am NZT (ish), and my router doesn't reconnect until 7 or 8am depending on how my father has set it.
So 20:00GMT and later is easily doable... which is between 8pm and midnight in Europe.
@Barike: My suggestion of a happy hour at Brado's is really an extremely simplified version of the RCD. We don't really have time and resources to go into the same amount of depth with the organisation of the markets and other events.... but it could be put into the eventual goals to have some similar ground for RP (not a copycat of the RCD of course, we need something completely different and standout, and Enki in style and flavour.)
-
@LigH: You are right there is a nice overlap for the Europe and N&S America time zones.
@Akaiddo: I like the idea of the happy hour at Brado's. Brado has always struck me as a menki who loves a good time. I think he would be honored to host a weekly Happy Hour over the RL weekend.
-
Hmmm maybe we could have a Friday Night/Happy hour ball of such goes from Happy hour to night at Brados and people come together get drunk have a dance on the kitchen rooftop with someone. we should do this and then maybe Weltal could make a dance animation for all races :P like off WoW, if that isn't already implemented.
-
Weltal could make a dance animation for all races
That would be quite a job. We'll settle for happy hour for now, eh?
-
See also: World of Warcraft Numa Numa Dance on YouTube etc. :D
-
Weltall is not an animator :P
-
ok scratch that then, Akaiddo can make an animation for dancing lol :P
we'll settle for jumping up and down :D
A ball would be pretty cool I think it could work out well, put a post at harns, hydlaa tavern, oja tavern and Trasok and we just need to sort out getting some waitresses and some Ojavedian music :P it could become very popular
-
and some Ojavedian music
Or we could just get you to sing, Vakachehk.
-
id love to see that >:D
-
Queen Lolitra Purrty will surely hold a ball after the wedding and the offering and ... oh, sorry, that is not yet even scheduled. :oops:

;D Was that supposed to be a hint to hurry up or something? Haha
-
Not to one person only - to all people involved. ;)
-
Ah, okay, Barike (IC) is thinking at the market sunday maybe... :whistling:
-
I'd suggest keeping those events entirely seperate (your RP with RHoP and the Markets).
That way, we attract players to Ojaveda on two seperate occasions for RP purposes. As RHoP have yet to join the Alliance, entwining their unrelated events into Alliance events would probably also be against their best interests.
-
AHHHHHHH NO way am I singing! I'm pretty sure there is already Ojavedian music implemented in PS just turn music on thats all. It would be like the ball at the Octarchy's house.
-
@ Akaiddo OCC of course: Barike's intentions must be made public by royal etiquette, so the marketplace is the perfect time. There will be many prominent people in the area at the time.
-
And, I wasn't talking about the Ojaveda market. I was referring to the Hydlaa Market. Is there an Oja market planned this weekend?
