Well to start off, this is my first post on these forums even though I've been trolling for quite some time. I've been developing this story for about 6 months (around the time I started fooling around with C++ and Maya(though I'm not very good at either)). Anyway here to the story and ideas. This is an MMO thats not really like any other. Everyone will become a Dragon Rider, and theres 3 factions that you can choose to join to disrupt (or join) the existing goverment. Good (Is not in power and are seeking to overthrow the throne). Evil (They start in power on a server and you can choose to join them). Balenced(No name yet) (Is fighting for no goverment and basicly wants to run free). You will start off in a small farming village inside of a Vally and will complete the tutorial Hunting, farming etc... Until (about every half hour). Guards come to your city and are enrolling for the 3 factions. There will be some races: Human Elf Dark Elf Dwarf Half Demons Beastmen. Then you will perform tasks (quests) for your faction and for other people in the town. Until your high enough lvl and skills to apply for a Dragon. This will consist of 10 quests that you have to do to prove that your evil, good, or balenced enough to have a dragon. This will be primarly a PVP game, but there will only be a few zones where you can attack the other factions freely. Only you can attack if another faction is on your turff and you can over throw the goverment by invading the capital city. Anyway this is all I can think of now. Comments, sudestions and critism is all welcome. If you want to help make it just send me a PM Thanks.

I'm sorry to be the resident grump (or one of many), but this is more of a game design post. The extent that we can glean about this game's setting or story is that it's a fantasy game, it has mythical races and beasts, and there are three factions which may or may not support an ambiguous "government".

Who's the soveirgn (if there is one), what's his name, what happened to his predesesor, what rituals have been attached to hatching and raising dragons, what religions are there ... tell us about the story, not about the gameplay, if you mean to discuss the writing.

Heh, sorry about that, it was really late at night and I thought I was posting in the game devolopment forums. If a mod could please move this to the corract forum it would be really helpful.
