In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

I'd be willing to help test things as well, if you're accepting laymen.
(Also semi-related: originally, I had an idea that mostly took 3D's plot with WD influences. But reading everyone's thoughts here, a better solution could be to mesh and tweak WD's timeline to either partially-before-and-during, or after 3D. *shrug* Just one very vague and incomplete possibility.)
Just gonna toss this little observation out there, because this happens so damn often here and it bugs me so damn much.
Each time someone tries to do something to get activity back into the site - like this thread - it fucking derails into debate and discussion. Completely derailed. You want to discus something? Make a thread for it. Don't derail an attempt to fix a problem - you're becoming part of that problem.
You debate and discuss and nothing ever comes of it. It's the biggest flaw of this community.
I'd love to help. I have some time after work and in the mornings to apply to World Destiny. Other than that I've recently been working a lot of overtime and normally have one day a week off (this week I have two, it's like magic or something).
In other words- I may not be as active as everyone via internet time. Fortunately my phone receives emails and IM's so if I'm not at home and not working I can still respond to you.
That was partly my fault. Mostly fault. Ok...it was my fault.
Buut I did put something together. If anyone wants to give it a whirl or join or help, or just watch...it's an experimental rp, with permission from Ellie. I hope we will be able to try some ideas out, see what works, what doesn't work and be able to help contribute ideas/feedback for the future of WD.
Sooo far I'm thinking to 'save' WD is to have fresh young blood who have time to waste your middle and highschool students. That's where a bulk of us started here. Unfortunately I don't think SE appealed to that age group with KH because...the series has been going on for 10+ yrs. It's hard to appeal to a new age group so far behind in the storyline. Unfortunately what is in...is multi-fandom. actually ellie i am 13 bout to be 14 and i have been addicted and started at kh bbs, then went in order to re:com....

I'm sorry but I needed to get that off my chest.
actually this is a good point, I have seen a lot of this

How about we just mash two plotlines together and see how that works, I might have better character ideas for a storyline like that....but not this one, not a single character has been accepted because I have ideas but they don't go with this storyline so I freeball it... I actually have a good idea, you see I am an unpublished author but my peers love my stories and I wrote one where everyone is kinda like this, even the dark 12! but I never saw this site until after I had made the story...pretend I am doing a derpface right now... www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOPo7amRSL0 here's a video with me in it, actually it's by me...
We have an edit button for a reason. Please don't multi-post. =/
Anyhow, all who's waiting on for news on this, I'm working on it. It's just work's been taking up most of my time. I don't remember the last time I've had a free evening.
*Hugs Cadence.* It's okay. We all just appreciate having you around, and also what it is you bring to the table. I have been trying to come up with stuff, but to be honest I keep drawing blanks. I like the general site-wide concept which you already know, but trying to expand on it has been slightly problematic for my brain at this time. >.>
Anyway, just know we love you Cadence. And keep being awesome. Whenever you get to it, you get to it. Until then, I'll also keep trying to help... however it is I can in my Viking Street Sweeper way.
Hey all- I'm not sure if I have any place to say this here, and this is not meant to be offending or demeaning in anyway: WD is old.
Yeah. Sorry if that's a little harsh, heh. But uh, it's true. I think a HUGE reason for inactivity here is because the plot doesn't progress. I know I haven't been here very long, but I can already tell it's true. There have been A LOT of games since KH 2 now, and they really should be developed and incorporated into the site. New members like these new ideas. Potential members are looking for the BBS storyline, and Xehanort's plotline, because those things are fresh and new, and generally fun to play out. I understand it's hard to fit it in with the Dark XII around and such, but I really think it's the best way to get some life back in the site. Unfortunately, KH 2 just isn't as new and shiny as it used to be, which means sites that have newer plots (involving 3DD, or BBS) are more appealing and popular.
The main problem is that (although the Dark XII and Organization take over worlds and such) is that nothing really matters plot-wise. Sure, the Mysterious Tower/Destiny Islands plots were great and well-created, but what exactly was their function? They weren't advancing plot-wise in any ways. Plots need to be important in order for new ideas to develop in the site. Maybe a plot where the light tries to take back The Castle of Dreams (just an example)? That would matter, because maybe citizens there would remember a certain blue haired girl who got lost in some darkness...
Plots should lead to discoveries. The KH timeline is always moving along, bringing in new ideas and entirely new concepts. WD is stuck in 2006, back with KH 2.
I know it's hard to do with all of these organization/dark xii plots and characters, but things need to happen. Maybe the dark XII is carrying out current-Xehanort's goal (in 3DD). Maybe Xehanort has been resurrected, and now co-leads the Dark XII(I) with Ansem? And what ever happened to Ven, Terra, and Aqua? To make the site more active and popular, some new things like these must happen. WD has to catch up with the series to be more appealing, because it's not as fun to be on a site where everyone's plots are in the KH 2-timeline.
SO, I know this has all been said before, and I know I might sound like a dick, but I'M NOT. Even in the few weeks I've been here, I've come to care about WD. And it's one of the only sites that interests me right now, so let me just say: bravo. Everyone's done a great job coming up with this plot, but it's time for it to advance.
Now I'll share some of my ideas with you, although some of them were stated above. -Xehanort:: He needs to get back in the game. Xehanort is the main way to get BBS incorporated. Maybe Ansem/Xemnas can try and find a way to get him resurrected. It'd be cool if he had the same goal as he does in the game currently, but with either the Organization, or the Dark II. I understand there isn't a Xemnas player right now, so maybe Xehanort could even start leading the Organization. -BBS Events:: They're very important. With the events in-game, BBS had actually become a vital storyline in the Kingdom Hearts Universe. And this isn't hard to incorporate at all, except for one thing: Terra. All sites have trouble with him. Is he part of Xehanort, or do they exist at the same time? Or maybe he's even escaped?! Well, remember that Young Xehanort guy? What if that was Terra? That'd be pretty cool. Xehanort and his younger self exist at the same time, so who's to say that younger self isn't Terra? Xehanort could've used Terra as a living vessel for his younger version. Aqua and Ven are rather easy, as they can simply be found. -New World Discoveries:: As for this one, I honestly don't know why WD hasn't already done this. Sora's an explorer, right? And there are plenty of characters wandering around to discover new worlds. Just have a private-exploring thread with 1-4 people before opening the world to the public. That would expand the universe of KH 2 to the size of it today.
Okay That ends it for now, but I have more! Just tell me how I can help!

u.u I think another thing to point out is that...we've pretty much known WD problems, and there's been more pointing them out then actual problem solving. I can go on and reply to ever question into why some of those ideas aren't incorporated based on our plot and other lovely holes (and gods forbidden stupid concept of goddamn time traveling of stupidity), but I'm not going to waste time on that because
a.) I'm tired of sounding like a broken record. b.) I rather be a broken record when we have a legit collective of group of people contributing ideas to FIX versus open brain vomit session. c.) I rather not open this to yet another full blown discussion which can easily happen when constructive ideas because...we can end up being 'more talk than action' and it deviates this place even more from being a recruiting notice.
So yeah...have solutions...try to solidify them, make them as bullet proof as possible, don't fall in love with it for you won't have teenage emo Riku angst over it, and hit up Cadey via pm. I think at this point we need more constructive and solid ideas if we want to move...not too many loose concepts because that takes more time to rip to shreds to make sure it's full proof.
Just saying we took a LOT of time to make sense out of the old plot we had into what we have today, and i rather not dump all of that headache, migranes, and plot meetings for slapstick obviously flawed plots.
Also we need to come to a consensus of what the recent completed plot achieve. Yes the Dark XII endeavor had caused some wargness, but...we have yet to follow it through with other characters involved because...they're GM'd canons (mainly because they are either staff ruled or no one picks them up)
Edit: This is no where near argumentative; that's just how I talk both online and live. It's Ellie being Ellie...who have yet to adopt diplomacy. >> Let's not anticipate and label this what it's not.
Simply Saying...that could've been a full-blown discussion, if you have ideas you should contemplate and marinate in them for they can have a stable foundation, if you have ideas don't be attach to them because I've seen plenty of people become sensitive to criticism, and if you have ideas you should pm them.
We don't want anyone to feel like they're being attacked (or Ellie's new phrase "butt hurt") simply because the idea wasn't thought out or disagreed upon. It happens ENOUGH times here including profiles and just a typical hurtle to jump with creative artistic people. Also unfortunately this process of figuring "story" out is always the most gruesome in any production. u.u I lived and watched it.
So calm thy tits and cheese-balls and happy brain-storming.
Please don't let this thread descend into bickering. Down Ellie. @.@
And I fully agree with your points, Jupiter. In fact I think I did mention most of them previously.
Most certainly, WD is old. I should know - I've been here, how long? 5 years+? And we've still been in the same plot frame since then? But yeah, dear god does WD need to start incorporating things from the more recent games. And that's what I intend to press forward with.
I just need to finalize my starting team, contact people, and maybe get them all on AIM or Skype or something since MSN is now gone. @.@
But yeah, on that last note - world exploration. We did... have one... Atlantis. But it was an event from the previous staff and it really has not been completed - actually I think it's dead now. But I do agree that news worlds do need to be opened up, and the event surrounding it needs to be handled far better. I will add that to my list of things to do. I'm actually kicking around some ideas already now that your brought that all up.
That's all I really have for now. Sorry for the lack of updates - work + being sick + being the only relatively active mod right now is not helping me get things done, at all. :c
Today's a sick day and I'm going to do my bet to make use of it.
The storyline's problem is that it wasn't created to be completed. There were no arcs in its creation. No definitive climaxes. It takes a lot of work, yes, but what this site needs is direction. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus have no place here, simply put. They haven't even made an appearance in the game since their fall. They do not belong. What we need to do is give objectives or areas of interest and let the players go about it in their own way.
For example, what if there were a treasure that was rumored to return a Heart? It's just an example, and not really a canonical point, but all of the players could use it, and would go about it in their own way. Some would be sly and study the lore behind the object to find it, others would go after it full force, tearing the world asunder. Some might build a team and offer to split the prize.
The idea is that it allows for character interaction and tension. These two things create a pleasing roleplay experience. If we could incorporate this kind of example into the RP we might find some more activity vs. a million quiet nights on the rooftops of Traverse Town.
