Does anyone else wanna just be a nobody?

Just curious, is anyone else excited to just be a nobody in this game? Like you're not the champion, the savior, the godkinghero... is anyone else just excited to be something as mundane as a guard... or a mercenary.... or a farmer.... etc like you don't even have to be someone who goes out and kills monsters to contribute to the success of whatever territory you commit to.
That's just amazing to me. Looking forward to being a nameless guard. Specifically a py'rai guard in a py'rai node. Where I'll actually be able to be a guard who doesn't just stand there all day every day (maybe some days) but who will actually see action by just being there and being available. No statues made in my honor, no main characters pulling me into their drama, just a nameless guard. Love it.

Here's that Dev Discussion for ya, in case you're curious
Yes I definitely want to not be a "savior".
i love that! A non-linear and flexible style nature is exactly what I think the MMORPG genre needs. I think it's the freedom of choice that is what makes osrs still so popular to this day, they just lack a dynamic and changing world to help keep things interesting in an otherwise static environment.
I love to see all the self-made character hype. Not the illusion of making your own character but abiding by the same storyline and guidelines everyone has to follow in order to progress. I think thats the direction games need to go in from now on.
you are the main character of your own story ;3
I just want small scale stories with a rich plot where I can come in with my boujee Empyrean self and help out, but that's about it. But I don't want to be seen as "The mage who saved the world".
Same, like I don't mind contributing to something major... just don't build a statue in my honor because I killed a few goblins and then went afk for a minute to go check on dinner before returning to my post. Throw some coinage my way and ill be on my way.
Sounds like a precursor to extortion lol
Don't worry, I'll be the hero that becomes a superhero that becomes a god and legend, for you.
If you really wanted to be a nobody, you would have stayed on Sanctus.
Some poor people are being pushed through... And you know those who become corrupted through pvp they actually escaped from prison and sneaked through the portal to escape authorities.
Would have been funnier if you'd said that's why you always play humans.
Dammit, I totally missed that one didn't I?
Escaping from prison does not mean a person cannot also be a hero.
And returning to that perspective is what I hope to get in Ashes again.
You don't know what my character was doing before the portal and you don't know my intentions after stepping through the portal. That's the beauty of this game, you can't call me a hero if my character is a pirate, jumping peaceful players in the ocean to steal their cargo. This game gives us options
I wouldn't like to meet such potential heroes during night on dark streets... Desire to kill others to take their stuff existed on both sides of the gate. Corruption could potentially be good in a future expansion if the Others win some battles against the Seven. Fewer players might play at that time.
The people who travel to Verra are considered to be heroes, rather than nobodies...
Might be able to be a nobody if you are a Tulnar who stays in the Underrealm....
Reminded me of this
Or at least own a freehold?
poor tulnars xDDD
I have 0 desire to be a mayor, and even less to fly. I don't particularly like the idea of flying in these kinds of games. I personally feel it takes away from alot of the ground work that was put into it and just kind of is like activating god mode travel services.
