I think for a reboot to work, you'll need to shut the game down for a while, work it all out, advertise and accumulate reserves, possibly with a 'SURVIVOR' or 'NEW WORLD' option.
otherwise, nothing will change, you will just find the same people here doing the same things :/ it is a lot of work.
Yep, but if that's what people want and they're willing to help I will do it. I didn't want to just go 'This is the only option' just in case nobody agreed. There's no point to trying to revive after all if I do it in a way nobody wants!
I sort of feel like museboxing the place will effectively kill it. Because while there is interest in it right now, it may well just disappear after the initial burst of interest.
NEWEST IDEAS THREADfailagaMay 14 2011, 16:03:00 UTC
⊗ Timeskip instead of full reboot ⊗ Young Superhero teams (not mandatory) ⊗ Real time not half time ⊗ Minimal apps until we are up to speed? ⊗ No ACS until we are up to speed? ⊗ Revamp brohood, sanctuary, streamline info pages to less teal deer (doable especially after a timeskip, brohood can have evolved. Perhaps a separate comm?) ⊗ Streamline down pages that need upkeep to make it less ARGH (Maybe make stuff we need wiki pages so people can add in themselves?) ⊗ MORE MODS SOB ⊗ more wolverine
* Timeskip! * real time! * MOAR MODS :Dd * involving Brohood and Sanctuary! * WOLVERINE. HE IS IN EVERYTHING. MAKE HIM DO EVERYTHING. MAKE HIM A MOD. * wiki pages, I miss doing them
also not related to maintenance but can we have all the dragons back
I don't think Option 1 will work because we tried earlier, and it didn't work. I also don't see how Option 2 would help, but I don't know much about demand for OCs at the game.
As for the rest, I need some time to think. This comment is mostly a check in that I've read the post.
Okay... I'm going to say this. I'm really burnt out over the game.
Voice and motivation for Derrick are dead, and I was going to start his final log to give people closure today before I saw this. After which, he was to be dropped. I'm done with him. That's not changing regardless of what happens to the game, and I still want to get things started toward his drop as soon as possible.
Reki and Prince are the only ones I'm considering. I would not return after a reboot; I probably wouldn't return after a timeskip either.
I may stick around for a musebox, but it would depend on who stays for Reki. If he loses the last important CR, he's going back to CC Corp., and then I wouldn't feel motivated to keep Prince around either.
I'm sorry. I don't think I'll be much help. I'm simply burnt out.
Umm... Since I'm pretty new to XI and RP-ing in general, I don't have much of an opinion other than I would be super sad if this went away right after I got into it. ;_;
Wouldn't a time skip kind of mess things up for older student characters? (It would, of course, depend on how long of a skip...)
it wouldn't be like a year timeskip, like a couple of months max. Also, older students could always stick around XI as TA's or full teachers or whichever, or simply as part of a Young Superhero team or whatever.
A musebox is a game that has no official strong story pushed along, no activity checks, no apps. People can dip in and out at any time and run their own stories, any mods will just be making sure there are no shenanigans/fragrantly breaking rules by being utterly ridiculous etc.
In that case, I would tend to lean away from museboxing, if only because I like the idea of having a strong story line, but I suppose it would be easier. (I am a very indecisive person...)
I guess my first choice is the reboot, but I could probably get behind the musebox idea, if that's how the majority rolls.
They're kinda like Dressing Rooms I guess, although most museboxes I've seen are private. And almost all Dressing Rooms I've seen are limited to one canon (APHDR, VDR, etc etc etc) and AUs can be made.

At the moment, it is effectively dead anyway. So.

timeskips lets us keep cr. Reboot sort of elimates the possibilty that old cr will take precedence over new cr? :/
more mods poor little modling. give mods sort of duties and keep on them to do them?
