The Black dawn project is here; bringing the RP back to MMORPG's
Some time back a group of college gamers sat around lamenting the lack of Role Playing in MMORPG's. Most if not all of these games had little to no character interaction, no story telling of any significance, and generally revolved around dungeon raids that barely qualified as roll playing, much less role playing. Determined to see if they could improve on the situation they downloaded a copy of the eAthena Ragnarok emulator and got to work.
The result is RO Black Dawn. Started by a group of D&D players, it is focused on the Role Playing so many MMORPG's lack. In RO Black Dawn, the Admin and GM's are more like the DM's at a D&D table, running a story and using events to move the plot forward and backward. Most players are role playing their characters (though not always). The story revolves around a war between two factions, the "civilized" humans lead by the Defenders of Light and the "uncivilized" everyone else (elves, orcs, goblins, minotaurs), lead by the organization called SIN.
Sadly, we are desperately short of GM's and scripter's. In fact, we are down to one, the admin, who is close to a nervous breakdown under the work load. If setting a new standard for MMO's is something that interests you, please try the server for a while then e-mail the admin (Admin@roblackdawn.com).

(my apologies to anyone who gets this multiple times, but we are hoping to make a major breakthrough in the MMORPG world, and start a trend of serious roleplay in MMO's)
