Frequently-Asked Questions
What's the point of the game?, AKA, what am I trying to achieve by playing?
Without wanting to be coy, the answer really depends on what you want
to achieve.
Some people play games like TC because they love to hunt and
kill imaginary monsters. Others just like to chat with online friends.
Broadly speaking, the "point" of TriadCity is to
grow your character
, where "grow" means advance in learning, become more
skilled, explore more of the imaginary game world, make more friends,
contribute more to the ongoing invention of TC's shared fiction, become
rich, become powerful, become hated or loved or respected or whatever
motivates that character. Or pursue some other motivation only you can
imagine.
One implication worth stressing is that this means there can be
different "points" for each of your characters, and those
can be different than everybody else's characters. To us,
that's the point: shape the personality and purpose of your
characters to differentiate them from all others.
We hope - naturally enough - you'll find this fun and absorbing.
In the past, we certainly have, even though we found the imaginary
game worlds we interacted with to be ultimately too constricting to
allow us to continue to grow our characters in the ways we wanted.
This is one of our key motivations behind building TriadCity: to
allow us to create a much "wider" space for characterization
than we've found to be typical in previous environments.
