Does AORTA still exist?

    Asked the Circle of Lignt on the Alfa boards. (Player Purge thread) As no-one replied I guess people will assume not - which may be what you want them to think?

    I never understood too much of AORTA. Is it also a part of ALFA, but then not a location but just a group of adventurers that travells in Faerun? What's the difference and how can AORTA be joined?

    I was really interested in joining AORTA, but ALFA never replied to my player app. Now I've kind of lost interest all together. If ALFA would get off it's ass and at least let me know if I'm in or not, I would apply for membership in AORTA. Unfortunately, I can't join AORTA until I've been accepten in ALFA.....It's been almost a month since I submitted my player application, and still no response.

    I strongly hope so ... since I'm a member since ... lemme recap ... 3 or so weeks :) Oh well, I rarely read the ALFA forums recently, otherwise I had posted there.

    Its not an either/or you can be in both. Phlan is an ALFA server I will be DMing, assisted by Baldak, Koyo and Evaine. It is an area of ~ 6400 sq miles including a city, on the Moonsea.
    AORTA is a 'Faction' in ALFA, headed by Relic. Contact him for more details. Some of the AORTAns expressed a desire to start in Phlan, as have some non- AORTAns.
    So, you can play in Phlan whether or no you are in AORTA, you can be in AORTA whether or no you play in Phlan.

    P.S Phlans next door neighbour is - Zhentil Keep!

    There are some guilds (children of shadows, for example) that don't allow you to join another guild at the same time. And I think that all guilds say that. However, I am not going to take part in an guild.It would be me alone and any friend I find on the way...

    [​IMG] Simultaneously in-game? No. But you can hop from faction to faction, providing the leaders are ok about it. Go adventuring with one group one week then move on, perhaps to another town and meet up with another group. I expect a lot of PCs to play 'mercenaries'.
    Players who do hop around may not benefit from 'faction resurrection schemes' ;)

    AORTA is still a viable force, and though we have been flying below the radar for some time, we are still accepting applications. Please refer to the above mentioned link to our page, and follow the instructions there if you would like to apply. Currently, we are planning to be spread over two servers, with our main group on the Phlan server. Any questions, feel free to email me at relic@sorcerers.net.

    We will remain to be a quiet presence, but will be a force when the game is released.
