Let's admit it: Tales of Phantomile has been idly floating about the doldrums for about two months now, straying dangerously close to that line that marks absolute inactivity for an online forum board. In retrospect, however, this doesn't seem nearly as bad as what happened to Tales of Phantomile the summer before this one, in which the site was utterly dead for several weeks.
What we've experienced was naturally to be expected; slowly but surely, players slip into a summer mentality in which what should be done today is put off until some unannounced time next week. The time away from school, while good in many senses, means that collaboration on upcoming posts is made many times more difficult.
That's about to change.
School is coming back, bringing with it the rigorous work ethic required to sustain oneself in day to day life. This should bode well for this site, and with any hope, we'll see quite the burst of both plot development and creativity in the coming weeks. Here are some of the things that need to be resolved soon:
-The creation of a proper goal for Tales of Phantomile's second group, allowing them to reach the Ruined City, preferably after having rendezvoused with Nicholi and Hanson Crawford.
-A completion to the saga involving Nicholi and Hanson, preferably coupled with an increase in the number of posts made by this site's administrator!!!
-Completion of the melee outside of the Ruined City by Tales of Phantomile's original group, with plot devlopment continuing within the ruins site.
-Dramatic leaps forward with the thread involving Sands and Wengotha.
-Implementation of newcomers such as Meclin, Shadow, Hanzo, Falor, Skathe, and Kyo as well as secondary characters Johnny and Cyr'us.
Please feel free to send me any PM's involving ideas for these characters. Realistic implementation is becoming more and more of a chore.
Now that that's all said and done, I expect to see a notable increase in activity on Tales of Phantomile. Don't disappoint!
