| Kealyn’s questions & my 2 cents worth.
#1
For general player base I have to give thumbs up even if thin on the ground. I have spent time recently has a Blue and was fairly widely interacted with. Having spent years on this shard doing the Blue RP thing before finally joining a guild I would have to say it was a rather good result. Not just one guild here or there but players from every major guild ( including Skara) were more then willing deal with my typo‘s.

I would like to see stories like Fargo’s bones, the books of Sins etc in a more unified position out side of game so people that play in different time zones or only get a 3 or 4 days a week to really RP can seamlessly join in. Once the general ground rules are set a real story should have a life of its own ( as Paladis stated) so any character can effect it. Even in a small way.
A unified plot board would also help to direct interested ( ie recruits) to a board so they can get small over view then link to more details as they wish. It is also something we can do as a general player base with out the Gm’s having to hammer out all the details. If we can agree to it and spread the word. Down side is posters might have to keep things short & sweet and thus make two posts of an event.

I would have to say see answer for #2. I know some people like say all the RP moves to the boards but things are not to that state ( in my opine)and having a definite go to place to track ( in a thumb nail fashion) what going developing is what would replace IC “over hearing a rumor”.
I like the theory of concentrating the player base. Weather it around a few cities close together or close to the Moongates would not matter to me as much. I realize Theory is a whole lot more different then practice.

I am not sure I have ever left. I have been dormant for several weeks at a time , as real life demands, but never closed my master account. I have found most of those that leave return when life permits but then I am also probably in the older edge of the age demographic that plays. |
