Greetings!

Hello everyone! I would just like to say I LOVE THIS GAME!! (and i havent even played it yet). But if I have been reading correctly, this is the "Game of my dreams".

I have looked everywhere for a game such as this, for many years now. the closest I came to it was *shudders* Runescape. And that fell far short of my expectations. Please allow me get my excitement out of my system, and expend that energy on typing.

Long ago, I read a book (name I can't remember) and the subplot had a lot to do with this online game. It was a game that you could fully emerse yourself in, and become your character. You could do almost anything (it was medieval based) and everyone (this is important!) EVERYONE, was in-character. It was as if you took a trip into another world, completely forgetting about the real one and becoming your character.

It captivated me. Imagine?! A magical place, whince you can go to whenever you would like. Full of adventure, danger, and friendship? Almost like taking a machine back in time, but altering it to include other species, incredible animals, magic and quests!

After a long....LONG, tedious search, I believe my quest has come to an end...and a new beginning. I've finally reached my dream...Illarion!

While I patiently await a message from the creators of this wonderful place (to test my quite advanced RPing skills I'd guess), I eagerly search through the forums for information, to better prepare my character for the rigors/fun of Illarion.

EDIT:Deepest apologies if I posted on the wrong forum.

So, once again, I say "Hello Everyone!". With joy in my heart. I know, I have finally found...My Home.

Welcome to Illarion. It would be great to see you in game.

However, be reminded that Jet Black is a name from Cowboy Bebop, and may not be accepted by them. (But if your in game name is different, and doesn't break a name rule, it's fine)

ah, i figured my name would bring me problems. Though i may point out that I made up the name on my own, and coincidently became a bebop fan later. That is allright though, I have a name tucked away for such an occasion: Myst Croshof.
I do have a question though, since Jet Black is the name I sent for my character, do I send another one? or wait for the first one to be rejected?

I guess it is already rejected, it doesn't fit the game nor the name rules and you won't get an e-mail telling you you were rejected because of the name. Just create another character, with another name and send another request, if you get an e-mail with two question in it, you know the name is good enough for the game...

Have fun and welcome to Illarion

Thanks for all the hospitality, it's really appreciated. I'll go try again, I'm almost positive my second choice of name will be accepted.

I am also extremely patient, and have no problems waiting a year if I had to, for a chance to play this game.

Thanks again

You're an eager beaver! Welcome to Illarion (nearly).
Your second name though, may not be accepted either. Myst, was a game, if I remember correctly. The last name is fine. Perhaps if you changed Myst to Merysta, or something along those lines-just alter it a bit.

Jet Black · Post by **Jet Black** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 12:55 am

well, i really hope myst gets accepted, the name has some history with me. I write, and the first name for the main character I ever used was Myst Croshof. And yes I have heard of a game named myst, but the name has no relationship to it.

I'd much rather having a name I'm familiar with, It helps me rp, But if I must I will make a different one. All my names are completely original, Myst Croshof is actually kinda like my name, with a few letters changed and added.

Ah well, I'll do anything for this game, It is my destiny... I can feel it.

Guess I'll wait about a week, then if i dont get any email, il try again under a different name. I dont want to lose this one without trying.

Myst is an awful lot like Mist.

First names may NOT include existing words

yes be careful about names they are picky spend a lot of time thinking about a good name or go to a name generator

Jet Black · Post by **Jet Black** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 2:25 am

After much consideration, I have come to what I believe would be a suitable name, for both I and Illarion. (#me Grins)

Jeth Croshof

I see no problems out of all the examples that were given on other boards. It's familiar to me, if someone says: Hello Jeth, I'll know they're speaking to me. This will be the final decision on my name (unless I hear a reason otherwise, and of course if I am not accepted)

Again thank you all for your support, and warm welcomes. It's thoroughly appreciated.

Arkadia Misella · Post by **Arkadia Misella** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 2:43 am

Well, I just hope your not an Orc with that name. I doubt I could ever talk to an Orc named Jeth and not giggle.

Jet Black · Post by **Jet Black** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 2:50 am

I know this may hurt your funnybone, but I can tell you this:

No I'm not an orc. I'm human.

Arkadia Misella · Post by **Arkadia Misella** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 8:39 am

I think Illarion needs some more dwarf females, orc females......darn humans and their quick reproduction....perhaps Ark needs to start sterilizing them all systematically

I'm so glad I am an elf Arkadia, I hate to be sterilized.

Welcome, Jet Black!

I hope, you will make it through the account procedure, and I think your chances have increased tremendiously with your last choise of name.

Take your time to get some information about Illarion while you are waiting. This site provides you with a lot of resources. Don't expect too much though, as this game is still in alpha.

As this discussion seems to drift of into outer space, I take the liberty to close it. Good luck.
