The Future of LE

LE 3.0

Rest assured, before you continue with reading this that Lowestexistance.com shall remain operation, but know that much is about to change.

Sometime in late may the remaining area of the website will be updated to be consistent with the current version. The additions of new items however(with the exception of legends) will come to a halt. Why?

Lowestexistance.com will relaunch sometime late in the summer of 2010 (tentative). We will be abandoning the forum.

Moving into a more realistic direction, we shall hold tight to the feeling of a group of friends meeting up to play a good old fashioned RPG, but do so in the most technologically advanced way possible. Integrated into a single website, with stores that allow the purchase of items without having to contact any actual person, the system will become automated to a greater extent.

there will still be the element of having a Game Master for each quest, but this will be handled in a different manner(wait for further updates), and the quests will be held in real-time(though if the whole group wishes to disband temporarily, saving will be an option).

There are many steps necessary to realizing a system such as this, and though I gave a tentative date, know that it will inevitably change. Every moment that passes by however, you should think of what awaits. Character creation systems! Experience based leveling, detail profile pages, with an inventory that you yourself can manage! It will be a fantastic world!

What about the other you, as in the current you. What about all the time and effort you put into this forum since its launch in 2005? IT WAS WORTH IT!

Though with LowestExistance 3.0 we will run off of a level based system that operates off the fundamental idea of gaining experience your level in the game will reflect your efforts here on LE. Though the game system for 3.0 is far from developed, know that it will be an easy transition. Also as it will take place in the same world, your items will still remain! Of course some scaling of the use of weapons will occur, BUT anything you have now you will have with the new system. In case one item here or there vanishes however, you will be compensated with ample GC.

Enjoy your time on the forums between now and then and continue to play like you always have. The world of Nocte is eternal.

This sounds pretty cool. I do like the forum a little bit, but change is always good. Also, I like the updates the site recently went through. Good work.

The game idea sounds like it will be great. That said you should still keep the forum for all the non-rpg related topics as another place to simply communicate.

Yes, well, while there will be no forum as it exists today, there will be a support forum of course for FAQs noobs and ect. . . .

The game as I said will still be text based, but still greatly improved, maybe in 2032 it will just turn into an MMO

That would be something. I feel like then I can have bragging rights for playing something when it was just being developed. It will not be as big as bragging rights as you would have Billgar obviously.
