Pod questions

Postby Camwyr on July 8th, 2015, 7:18 pm

After reading the faq in the Suvan sea (As well as seeing it's no longer moderated) I noticed that it was said to be mandatory that a character belong to a pod.

As such, are the only pods those run by existing players? Could I create my own (though I'm not really into that idea) or join an existing one if members are inactive?

I'm a little unsure as the backstory I have involves some catastrophe occurring, due to the Djed Storm of years back, to whatever Pod I choose. I chose Whitewave as a placeholder, as geographically it makes some sense to my character (He's somewhat based out of Syliras in the northern Suvan Sea). But since my story may impact it slightly, and there may be established storylines that I'm unaware of, I'm afraid of stepping on toes.

Until then, I'll continue searching for information about what happened to various pods during the Djed Storm.

I'm pretty sure your pod can just be a bunch of NPCs. (Any that you'll interact with regularly should be approved by the Help Desk.) I think for any pod to be "run by players" in the sense that it's a recognizable player organization, you'd need at least 5 PCs or so (don't quote me on the exact numbers), which I don't think there are any right now that have that.

According to the official post for the djed storm, it looks like some pods survived while others did not, thought the surviving pods adopted the remaining members of the pods that were destroyed.
