It's THE FUTURE™! Recent advances in virtual reality technology have progressed to the point where it's perfectly safe to convert a human being into data and transport them into the game world. This has exploded into the video games market, and subsequently become cheap enough to be a viable purchase for any gamer. They've been out a few years now, and just today, the announcement of a brand new MMORPG - the first of its kind for the technology - has taken the world by storm! Although not released to the general public yet, alpha keys have been released for purchase. It's a standard fantasy setting with wizards, thieves, druids, fighters, paladins and so on! However, the game is indeed an alpha, and thus rather buggy...<br/><br/>For starters, nobody seems to be able to log out. This means that players are stuck in the game world until the devs can fix it! They promise they're trying, but finding it very, very difficult. This bug has not been announced to the public for fear of a scandal. Instead they pay people to pretend they've played the game and speak about it in publications.<br/><br/>Another bug is that many enemies seem to have attacks that weren't designed for them. Stomp and Swallow are almost universal now while they should have been rather rare. Shrink Player is decently common too. Some other interesting results, like flying stone golems and fire-breathing chickens, have also been reported. Devs urge players stuck in the game to report as many of these as they can. Furthermore, many enemies are wandering beyond the boundaries of their designated regions and into places they shouldn't be. Combined with flying and teleporting foes, you can now run into things just about anywhere! The rules of levels generally still apply, with low-level enemies being closer to spawn and high-levels being further away, but some high-levels can be found in lower-level areas now too!<br/><br/>Finally, an odd glitch is causing some enemies to develop AIs they shouldn't have. This glitch is sometimes accompanied by random traits being assigned to the mob in question, and in some extreme cases have created unintentional boss monsters or even creatures that behave as if they're player characters! The only known pattern to distinguish these foes, is that their level is displayed as random garbage rather than a number. This has lead to most players calling the mobs "Level Glitch Mobs"<br/><br/>Since the log-out glitch hasn't been advertised, people are still joining today! The starting town, a small-ish keep called Haven, is constantly filling with new players. What adventures will they find out in the wide world?<br/>________________________________________<br/><br/>OOC stuff! This RP is free for people to join. Come along and have fun, no matter how far in we are!<br/><br/>Level Glitch Mobs are playable, but are basically just non-standard PCs. For instance, you could play as a Level Glitch cow mage, or a Level Glitch mermaid rogue.<br/><br/>All kinds of vore are okay! But for scat, watersports, disposal, hardvore and the other more controversial things that most people aren't into, please put that in a spoiler. For instance, CV is fine to have in the open, but a hard vore scene would need to be in a spoiler.<br/><br/>Vore isn't restricted to enemies or Level Glitch Mobs! The player characters can glitch out and get given the Swallow ability if they want. Just have fun!<br/><br/>Setting is fantasy, but other than that, go nuts. Dragons, golems, clockwork automata, forest animals, elementals, whatever you want, as long as it could feasibly be in a fantasy setting, you can play as it.<br/><br/>Above all, have fun!<br/>________________________________________<br/><br/>Character sheet:<br/><br/>Name:<br/>Gender:<br/>Player/Enemy/Level Glitch:<br/>Species:<br/>Class (if player or level glitch; any fantasy class is fine, no set classes):<br/>Pred, prey or switch:<br/>About character:<br/>OOC vore preferences:
