Post by: Rigwyn on January 21, 2014, 06:51:08 am: All the more reason to RP in the DR :p

Seriously though, lately I'm finding the DR to be more interesting.

Post by: Illysia on January 21, 2014, 07:12:59 am: Well, if you go by the forums, it's only the darker RPs that are getting much attention these days.

Afterthough:
But it is harder to justify advertising slightly less dramatic RPs on the forum and most people won't bother with a write up later.

Who knows the inner workings of a gamer's mind. ;D

Bottom line it is a good thing for PS and well deserved after the wonderful strides the Dev Team have made in the last release.

/me has seen around 100 players online, and it wasn't an event.

Post by: Bonifarzia on January 21, 2014, 02:04:22 pm: A 0.x release typically draws the attention of new players, and I think the efforts made to improve the tutorial and quest chains help to make more people stay. A slightly higher player count makes it more interesting for older players to return, I hope.
