kinda feel in the mood to chatter a bit abt how i see the multiplayer side of Wizard101
because yeah, multiplayer is a kinda important side of the game itself, but seeing as everyone is going at their own pace with the same plot, there isn't a singular "savior/scion of the spiral" at any given time, but countless thousands. all on their own timelines. they're simply projecting on others' timelines to socialize or help others
they cannot influence each other's fates and carve their own story, (at least, not easily) but can still aid and assist those who might be having trouble progressing through their destined path. whether it's a single person doing everything by themself, a friend or two questing together, or an entire guild assisting each other with wizards both just beginning and maxed out, the story is all the same. the NPCs all say the same things. the story marches on like the number of people doesn't matter.
the player does not have the option to change anything, merely how long it takes to get to "the end", whatever "the end" might be.
#wizard101#this is jus how i see mutliplayer working in my own headcanon#so i don't mind if you take inspiration from this or not#i just thought it'd be kinda neat to have this weird thing going where other players both do and don't exist at the same time#if that even remotely makes sense. they only truly exist within their own timeline#but can make 'guest appearances' within other's timelines to help or whatever.#can't break off the game's main story if your friends don't fully exist within your universe!#and just to clarify: this is in the context of the game itself. fanfics n RPs are their own separate thing n can do whatever they want#after all i have an rp thing with my friend where things go way off the intended path#which leads to the timeline itself crumbling since things have diverged too far from the main story
