ObsidianShore is a long-lasting server founded by a couple of idiot teenagers (ie, myself) in 2008, which has somehow managed to last long enough to have its share of ups and downs over the years. After Obsidian Shore went down at the end of 2010, it seemed like it was the end. But with a new server head who treats us like a lady should be treated (he even lets us drive the car sometimes) and a revival of interest among Obsidian Shore's old players, the server is back and bustin' nuts left and right. We've experienced a resurgence of interest, active play has returned, active DMing as well, and a staff moving in the right direction.
Let's treat this like what it really is. We aren't looking for just any roleplayer, we're looking for YOU—yes, you, handsome mustachio'd person who enjoys deeper roleplay and has a good sense of humor. You'd rather have a roleplay build than a powerbuild, a good time than a pissing contest, and a couple of donkeys? Because why the hell not.
A few things of note:
We're going through the mod with a fine-toothed comb and making a great deal of fixes, updates, and consolidations. No longer do we have the policy of “bigger is better”. Expect a few retcons, though, as we are fixing past mistakes. That includes the main town, Stonereach, which has been 100% redone and expanded.
Before the server died and was resurrected by player love, staff voted to move forward 15 years. Please take note of this if you're an old player!
The staff has moved in a better direction, having purged itself of cliques and anti-player attitudes that had previously plagued it. Server Mama is happy.
Pop in our IRC channel (#obsidian_shore on DarkMyst) or our forums to get to know us. There's not always someone active on the server but chances are there's a whole mess of us active on our IRC channel. We always want to get to know new players and chances are a few of us can take a break from the toolset to pop on and give you a ride. ; )
Oh, you want server features? We got your server features:
Quests, we got some quests up in here. We could use more, but that's why we're looking for active staff. Never can have enough quests.
Friendly, active Dungeon Masters. One of us, whose username may or may not start with "P", is despicably handsome. We feature player quests, which are a fun way to involve others or just yourself in a quest to advance your PC's storyline and life.
Detailed areas with a lot of love put into them. Quality and quantity have put aside their feuding in the interest of roleplay. Find the hidden little nooks and crannies around town or in the expansive wilderness to roleplay in, or hang around the numerous hang out spots in the town center.
Crafting, harvesting, skinning and other systems. Gather herbs, pelts and feathers for fletching, and make some money.
Henchman system, realistically difficult fighting, scaled death penalties to give new players a chance to explore and get used to things.
Welcoming, active, friendly community. We are and have always been a small server, but we've always had a good community.
