User blog comment:ChrysieeBoo Lovely/Topical Question of the Month: Ninja-Wizards on the Wiki?/@comment-4945309-20140328033119

Remember the expansion with Kaiser? That was a really great expansion, I believe, with a really great villain being the countries that opposed the integration of technology into the wizarding world. I think it was great because we used characters that already existed on the wiki and could still RP afterwards and we can see it happening. As the world grows more and more technologically dependent, integrating technology into the wizarding world is a believable and real problem that we can face with believable and real villains that we have knowledge about (the WHPS and Kaiser).

Now, I liked our last expansion a lot, really. However, it wasn't one of those things that could be explained really easily. There was the Umbra and the General as our villains, both of which were kind of a mystery and though that added to their appeal it also added a bit to confusion. I loved the whole idea of it really, but it felt like we were straying from canon, introducing a possible beginning for magic and creatures that didn't exist in Harry Potter series.

I love the idea of ninjas integrating with magic as a branch of Japanese wizardry. I understand Jay's point that ninjas are just mad martial artists, so why can't some of these mad martial artists have magic? It makes sense. I just don't want to build an expansion around it because I'd rather it be built around a villain or creature that already existed in canon. Even if we don't have much information to go on, it's a start and it still makes me feel like that 'this is something Harry Potter and this is something I can see happening on the wiki, and that's what I want to see on the wiki, expansion-wise.'

Also, concerning what Lissy said about wanting adults being the focus of the expansion. I agree. Still, I believe that there should be (less dangerous) expansions centered around the students too, just to keep things interesting. :)

That's just my opinion.
