Catching up on Xiosia related topics, it was interesting to see this post and reading some of the RP logs for her visits that I missed after the first big "Xiosmas" event. For me, at that time, I had already started the DOX guild and it was thriving. It was a guild mate that asked for our house, not Siteya, as I was really not feeling very comfy with the gift giving ceremony. Siteya did not even have dialogue with Xiosia, it was not what I would consider an rp event and I had a hard time merging it into Siteya's DOX storyline.
Although I was very grateful for the house, I do have to agree with Rig, the gifts were unfair to older players. As for Rigs other comment, "As you would imagine, many players became Xiosia followers - perhaps with the hope of another appearance and another chance for receiving a "bless" in exchange for being a follower." Just to set the record clear, if referring to DOX success, we busted our little Priestess' hinds helping new female characters and also with our charm and grace, getting older unguilded characters to join. Siteya spent several weeks sweet talking Karasuma into joining. The DOX also had some backlash from the first Xiosmas event, with some desecration of the garden, negative rumors and slander that went around.
I think it would be grand if the Gods were more involved, spawned and co-created with players IG scenarios and lore, and yes Rig, it is time for Dakkru to make her presence known...I fantasize about what her avatar might look like and the event...a beautiful Azhord glowing day, The Daughters all gathered for a Xiosian Ceremony, with dancing and chanting around the Ruqua tree, waiting for another visit from the beloved gift giving Xiosia, when instead, Dakkru steps out of the tree, to slay them all, upon waking in the death realm, they find themselves imprisoned in a cage...off in the distance they hear footsteps down the hall, coming closer...
