Purgatory
What is Purgatory
When a player dies in a WastelandZ server, their character's soul is sent to Purgatory, a realm where they are forced to confront the consequences of their actions. This limbo exists outside of the physical world, where time has no meaning, and the only constant is the weight of their past decisions. To escape, the player must travel across an unforgiving environment to one of the 4 travel points to bring them back to reality.
Death
"You were a force of justice, a vigilante who sought to punish those who escaped the law. Your crusade against evil consumed you, and you became as ruthless as those you hunted. The line between justice and vengeance blurred, and you lost sight of your original purpose. Now, you find yourself in WasteLandZ purgatory, a realm where life and death are mere whispers away. The souls of those you've wronged haunt you, and the weight of your actions crushes you. You are forced to confront the darkness within, and the consequences of your unrelenting pursuit of vengeance. Will you continue to cling to your past, or will you find a way to forgive and move forward? The choices you make in this desolate land will determine your fate: will you find peace, or will you remain forever trapped in your own personal hell?"
Famine
"You were a master of the trade, a merchant who controlled the flow of resources and manipulated the markets to your advantage. You amassed wealth and power, but at a terrible cost. The people suffered, and the land withered under your grip. You cared little for the consequences of your actions, as long as your coffers were full and your influence was unchecked. But your greed eventually consumed you, and your empire crumbled. The people you exploited turned against you, and you were left with nothing but the dust of your own making. Now, you find yourself in WasteLandZ, forced to scavenge for scraps and fight for every morsel. Will you continue to cling to your past glories, or will you learn to appreciate the value of true humanity? The choices you make in this desolate land will determine your fate: will you find redemption, or will you succumb to the very famine you once imposed on others?"
Conquest | Pestilence
"You were a brilliant scientist, driven by the pursuit of knowledge and the thrill of discovery. You pushed the boundaries of ethics and morality, ignoring the warnings of your peers and the consequences of your actions. Your creations, meant to improve humanity, instead brought about a plague that ravaged the world. The people you once sought to help now suffer because of your arrogance. The diseases you unleashed have mutated and spread, and you are forced to confront the horror of your own making. In WasteLandZ, you must navigate the ruins of civilization, avoiding the very pests you created. Will you use your knowledge to find a cure, or will you succumb to the darkness of your own ego? The fate of humanity hangs in the balance, and your choices will determine whether you find redemption or remain forever trapped in this purgatory of your own design."
War
"You were once a warrior, feared by many and respected by few. Your skills on the battlefield were unmatched, and your lust for blood was insatiable. You reveled in the chaos of war, never stopping to consider the cost of your actions. The cries of the innocent, the widows, and the orphans meant nothing to you. Your thirst for victory was all that mattered. But the war eventually consumed you, and you found yourself lost in a sea of carnage. The faces of your enemies blurred together, and your sense of purpose was lost. You were left with nothing but the stench of death and the weight of your own guilt. Now, you find yourself in WasteLandZ, a purgatory of your own making. The only way to escape this eternal torment is to confront the demons of your past and find redemption. Will you continue down the path of destruction, or will you seek forgiveness and a chance to start anew?"
