holy fuck. so many pages and posts since i last checked.
okay. i think, if possible, i want to be the kidnapped member who they free, perhaps. I like arrow's zombie idea, and about him flying a plane. I wanna be in Creativity Outlet also, if anywhere, since thats also where im most active nowadays.
Arrow- I like your "hub" idea. I expecially LOLed at the RM section idea...however, i think instead of having the hub be somewhere you have to backtrack to, it could be through some sort of teleport from the first dungeon, and after that you unlock more teleports as you free the remaining boards, eventually getting to wherever dwarra is (main server or whatever *shrug). I think the teleports should go to towns in each board, which would in turn have central news boards with new "posts" (e.g. a quest system like in KHII). I also think that in the hub, it should be like the Hot House in Secret of Mana (GBA), where you have your own blacksmith etc. after a certain point in the game.
