The Knowledge Seekers, led by Lordbug, have joined the Organization.  Anyone else interested in helping?

Greetings.
 First of all, I have to apologize for my lack of activity on the forums this week, but I had some problems with my isp, problems that were solved in a way.

 Also, I am indeed happy to see an old face around here. Glad to see you Sabrewulf, we sure do have many topics to talk about ... :)

 Being on topic, I have to congratulate you Valbrandr for what you have achieved so far. When I came with these ideas in here, I didn\'t dream to let them be forgotten in the painful place of the past. So, Black Order will be until the end, a member of the Planeshift Council, no matter what. But of course, in the council I want that my dear empress to be a member as well.
 Even so, I have to clear some things. I want that people to consider it something beyond an alliance, because it\'s practically impossible to be considered something like this, having members that have different alignments. It\'s a \"place\" made for the benefit of its members, and of the Planeshift community in general. I am sorry Valbrandr, but we cannot use words like these. Taking a look at the real EU, and then a look in here, using words like \"alliance\" and some other beliefs, we could say it\'s something like this. But that is not what we want, it\'s something different.
 And yes, economy is something fragile, something without a balance. But no one says we cannot bring this balance, even if for many it will mean something different. Because after all, each of us have different opinions right? Don\'t forget, it\'s a place where all its members will benefit.
 Also, we are not the happy tree friends, helping everyone we encounter. Remember this as well.
 And in the end, but not last, I totally disagree with the name of .: THE United Realm of PlaneShift :.
 Though, this is only a name, and we could always find a new better one, because after all, that\'s why we are here right? To shape it until it will be perfect. It won\'t be perfect? We will make it perfect. Same goes for ideas and goals of this.
 These being said, Farewell for now.
- Black Order -

I will compromise with everything you have just written.  If you could please PM me and send me how you view this council...  In addition, your Empress will be on the Council as well.  It is good to finally get your input.  Whatever needs changed just ask.

P.S.  The name is changable as well.  Just could not come up with anything better at the time.

The economy is controlled by the Dev\'s, this is one of the things that we probably have no say in.  Even if we do, it has been shown that the economic stability of any society provides the best results by staying objective to the current political events of the community.  In other words by not having direct control over it, it cannot be abused for personal gain (or I should say shouldn\'t be able to be).

The economy is sound and will stay current, as long as the Dev\'s stay on top of the evolution of the game; this seems to be quite regular, what they need to think about is the cost of things and how to earn money.
 
As Induane pointed out when a newcomer starts the game, they soon realise the amount of time it will take before they can progress to the next stage of their character development.  
Even though this teaches them the basic rules of contact with NPC\'s of that genre, it doesnt allow them to concentrate on the social contact skills they need to allow progression.

If we are to truly help this game evolve we must also be able to allow its community to evolve also.

The term Alliance: the state of being joined or assosciated; an agrrement made between countries or organisations to work together;  a relationship or connection.
I believe that the term \'Alliance\' perfectly suits what will be a core in our way of working together.

We all want and are willing to work to gaining a stable and productive environment for our own personal wants and needs as characters.

Bardialus I agree with you also.  I do not want this organization to exploit anyone in the PS realm.  Whether they are with us, against us, or neutral.  This will be an Organization that helps everyone.  And we must evolve with the nature of the game.

Edit:  Soon a URPS Chat is going to be implemented.  It will allow the Council members to have meetings.  Anyone who is interested, even if your guild is not involved, please come give your opinions.  Thank you.

Edit:  We will begin work on the Constitution of the URPS... If anyone has any ideas in the forum please post.

Well that\'s only for now... if you read in this, this and this you\'ll understand more what I\'m talking about...
I dunno if it was there or somewhere else that the devs wanted to make a world governed by players... not GMs or Devs (but this doesn\'t mean they can be) . And same thing about the economy, you can see in here that there\'s also unofficial currency...
I think players will be able to build houses and shops, this way a player can have his little business or something like that...
As for the rest you wrote Bardialus I agree :)

I also agree with Annah.
Nothing made by humans is perfect... humans are experts in imperfections... it\'s their nature :P (think I\'ll use this as my signature :D)

I had something else to say... can\'t remember...

The URPS Site
« Reply #23 on: January 27, 2005, 08:09:50 am »
With the help of GPaX, working with Lishom, the URPS site will be moved from the Sentinels of the Ragnarok site to its own domain.  This should happen in the following week.  Thanks to everyone that has been of great help to us...

I\'ve noticed that the forums seem a little dead recently.  This thread stayed near the too for quite some time without any new posts or edits.  Not that long ago the forums were extremely active...Why is this dying down?

On a better note I\'ve been extremely pleased with the ammount of people who have come and registered at the URPS and SoR site.  There has already been alot of interesting discussion. Thanks to everyone who participated.
