6 years have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. Ex-students are now making their fortunes in Wizarding London, immersed in a buzz of weddings, careers and the greatest fear any of them have ever faced - parenthood.
London’s new Ealing Eagles quidditch team is taking England and Ireland by storm, while St. Mungo’s struggles to cope and stories of muggles appearing in Diagon Alley are whispered on every corner. In the Ministry a new party is determined to open up the wizarding world to muggles, while the pureblood haven League of Emerald is plotting dangerous things.
You thought Hogwarts was bad? Welcome to the real world.
30 August - 7 & 8 added to the rules.
24 August - 62442 is officially open!
BOTE is an interactive, slightly AU Post-DH roleplay currently set in 2003.
PLOT is constantly being developed by members and evolves naturally. If you want to do something, you can! As long as it's valid in the Potterverse and you develop it realistically (new Dark Lords don't just spring up from the ground), you can do it.
TIME is quicker on BOTE - 6 real months = 1 roleplaying year.
AU slightly. Potterverse canon (concerning laws of magic, creatures, etc.) still applies. But we are AU in the sense of 'what would happen if we stuck original characters in the books?'. They are the variables that can change things (and have already).
CANONS & ORIGINALS are always both accepted and are both integral to the plot (originals possibly even more important).
BANS just don't exist. Or we have a ban on having bans. Either way works.
KEY FEATURES:
» well established, but easy to jump into or jump back into if you've been away
» active classes & student club meetings (fun, but optional!)
» roleplayed quidditch games & mass events (for both students and adults)
» interactive gringotts & shops system (with pretty buttons)
» aiming (and succeeding, according to some) at creating that 'hogwarts vibe'
» international settings (various schools, shops and locations around the world)
