Hello and welcome to Zone Wars! A fun and very addicting Sci-Fi/Fantasy Roleplay!
If you're reading this you're probably new to the website and wondering, "Is this really for me?" Well I can't tell you if it is or isn't, but what I can do is introduce its central user-submitted content systems, unique stories and plot lines, fun and addicting achievement system, and always growing, always updating content! But before I get into all of that, let me just explain exact what Zone Wars is and why you definitely shouldn't knock it before you try it.
This website is an online community of novelists and Role Players who are here for more than just something to do when they're bored. Zone Wars offers an active community to socialize in and a deep, gripping forum for Role Players to build character concepts and sharpen their writing abilities.
Sci-Fi not really your strongest subject? Don't worry about it. Zone Wars makes it completely possibly, and highly likely, to have worlds and realms of any time and genre. Medieval fantasy, magic and mystery, even rising undead and soul-hungry demons can be found here. So whether you favor a Star Cruiser or a Soul Slayer, Zone Wars has got it for you, along with an extensive list of things to do with it.
One of the core components Zone Wars utilizes is User-Submitted content. Let's be real: we all have hundreds of ideas in our heads, especially when we read that one post or plot that just makes us explode with, "I just thought of something awesome!" Well with the User-Submitted content that Zone Wars is built upon, we encourage statements like that and would love to see the ideas you have here on the site.
Here you don't need to be a Staff Member to add content or make changes. You get an idea for a planet or world you'd like to Role Play on, submit it within the World Builder and we'll add it to the website! Already deep in a thread and just thought of the perfect monster to fight against? Head off to the Build-A-Beast workshop and submit a baddie for you and other players on the site to fight against! Is magic more your thing? The Mage's Corner offers you a template to build and describe your spells in detail.
Wouldn't it be great if you could log on and see all your ideas and contributions to the website neatly listed in the data banks and on the forum with your name on it? I know I would, which is exactly why I put so much care and effort in to this system so that you, the Role Player, never feel as though your creativity has to be limited. There's an entire galaxy out there just waiting for you to create it. Breathe life into the world of Zone Wars.
Another element that sets this website apart from most others is its multitude of Plot lines and stories. Sure, everybody claims to have a unique and enthralling plot, but who wants to be bound to a single story? Here, there are several different plots to choose from; each one unique from the other and all fully capable of intertwining with each other. Become a Galaxy Angel, wield a mighty Dragon Spirit, or save the galaxy from Black Magic. Any of these and more can be done by any player at any time. And don't feel restricted to only one plot. Join two, or three or all of them! Have your progress recorded and your name displayed in the summary of the latest plot update. Become a main character and see a plot all the way to the end. Watch as you yourself change the entire galaxy and effect the entire forum as you do so. Anything and EVERYTHING is possible. It's just up to you to get started.
Another thing I have high aspirations for here is the Badges and Achievements system. Give your actions meaning whenever you post in a thread, join a plot, or even submit content. Have your participation rewarded with Achievements. Collect Player Points that are displayed in your profile and show off all the things you've done here at Zone Wars. Even earn little badges and emblems that you can display in your character tracker. Build a collection of feats and show them off to other members. Even have your name and picture come up in the Hall of Fame. With the Badges and Achievements system, you'll leave a visible trail of footsteps documenting all of your amazing actions during your stay at this website.
Even with all this already in place, Zone Wars is always growing and always updating. Several new plots are currently in the planning stage and new player-driven content is in the making! The rules are constantly being reviewed and updated when necessary as well as everything else on the site. If you spot something and you'd like to make a suggestion, let us know and we'll do what we can to accommodate your opinions!
Currently, plans are being made to construct user-governed clans and guilds where members create and manage their own groups. These groups will be given their own boards where they can sponsor and carry out group-exclusive missions, and put in requests for their own group-exclusive badges and achievements.
Now that you know a little more about Zone Wars, its unique core systems, plots, and ever-growing community, I hope you're convinced to stay a little while longer and get to know some of the members here. I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say that we love seeing new faces and threading with new characters. With all that being said, drop in a little introduction of yourself and say hi to everyone on the forum. We'll all be glad to respond back and welcome you here, at Zone Wars.
Thanks For Lookin' And Lovin'
