Wonders of Mundus

The AI gods/administrators of the smash-hit MMO Wonders of Mundus aren't exactly sure how it happened, or why; all they know is that your character is... incapacitated. The smartest AI brains on the planet are working on assisting everyone as much as they can with fixing the problem, but in the meantime, they came to a consensus that continuity of existence was preferable to being effectively dead, and so...

Welcome to the Roanoake server of Mundus.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please enjoy your stay.

THE RULES:

1: Your character is now their Wonders of Mundus character.
2: This means they're boring Human, TROGDOR Drachen, catgirl furry bait Ubastim, ninetailed furry weeabait Weihu, flying poptatoes Pyctsie, or poncy hippy elves Aethr. They're also locked into normal class and level progression.
3: If you die, you wake up either at the beginning of the dungeon you were raiding or in the town's Cathedral, shy some Argent and experience points with no real harm done except the irritation factor.
4: The NPC's are quite remarkable sapient AI, and effectively real people.
5: MMO physics and logic apply.
6: We apologize for the inconvenience, please enjoy your stay.

THE PROMPTS:

1: You've just woken up in the nearest inn bed or Cathedral as your character, along with a bunch of other people. Is this no time to panic, or the PERFECT time to panic?

2: Just outside in the town square the goddess/AI construct Aurora Dawn is explaining the situation and apologizing to everyone. She's a CLERIC-99 and there's also a substantial number of ludicrously over-leveled Castle Guard, so don't get too testy with her; besides, she's doing her best to help you.

3: The NPC's, who are really rather sophisticated AI, aren't happy about the situation either, but they're doing the best with what they've got. Among other things, there are adventurers with Argent in their pockets milling around; if this doesn't call for an improptu market and festival day, I don't know what does.

4: It's not all bad living in the database. Sure, you're locked into your class and level progression, but on the other hand, this gives you access to all your abilities from the game. Even at the more mundane end with Warriors, Rangers and Spellbreakers, this gives you phenomenal strength Vigor, Agility, and Stamina; how much cooler is it to be a Wizard, or a Psychic, or a Cleric, or a magitek combat Engineer? Although, this might be a significant downgrade from what you're used to, or at least a totally different powerset...

5: Fuck it, you're effectively immortal and in the middle of an MMO. Let's have a raid. I hear that the Dragonspine Mountain has a battle with Khalderon Ignivorax, a dragon the size of a small apartment building; or hey, the Ranate of Kushan has this problem with the Baron Ahrimane Ravana and his tiger-headed warlock cultist thugs. Doesn't that sound like awesome fun?

6: Or maybe you're in town brushing up on your crafting skills. Anyone without an actual ingame cooking skill can burn water, but for those who do have it, you're now capable of making Gordon Ramsey weep tears of joy. Or hey, blacksmithing is fun. And tinkering, and alchemy. Why not?

7: Maybe you smell something rotten in the state of Omphalos, and don't believe a word that your new AI overlords are saying. Maybe you want to help them get you and everyone else in Roanoake Server back into your original, fleshy bodies. Either way, you're investigating everything you can about what the AI call "The Crash" in hushed, sorrowful tones. How did you die IRL, and why? Is there any hope of getting back?

8: Or do what you like, cause a player is free. (You may or may not be a pirate.)

We apologize for the inconvenience, please enjoy the Wonders of Mundus while you're here.
