The running of the Stonehead being transferred to Illysia is a sort of RP experiment. The point of this experiment will be
to engage the community and promote RP and as person who very much missed RP from the past, be assured that it will not be flat and boring if I have anything to do with it. If you are not sure if you have seen my RPs, here is a list of my most recently active characters:
Illysia Caterean
Zandral Caterean
Telnavi Silul
Megheraine Kaelni
Dahserai Mene
I take great pride in making my RPs fun for everyone and I have patience for dealing with those who don’t RP and those who are new to it.
I even take time to teach it to those who are willing to learn. So, my aim is to include as many as possible.
I am calling upon the community to
help me in bringing back a healthy RP environment. When I say bring back a healthy environment, I mean working to improve quality and longevity of RP. This
does not mean sitting around complaining, reminiscing, etc… I have come to accept that the past is gone and with it the old RPs I had grown accustomed to. Since this is the case, I am working to create a new RP environment from scratch but that is a big task and I need help. Don’t get me wrong I loved the past, but it’s time to move on.
I need people who are willing to reestablish a new fun RP environment. I realize that many have issues with things that have gone on in regards to RP but
I ask that you look past that and give this a chance. I also ask that old RPers, especially those that lurk on the forums (
yes, I mean you… yeah you behind the computer.
) help out with the reestablishment of good
open RPs. I know many of you enjoy RP and you feel it is gone, that’s why many have left, but I don’t feel that it is really gone.
The current problem seems to be that older RPers have gotten a tab bit picky and we have pulled ourselves out of the loop as it were. We have standards now… *raises her hand* I say we for a reason, I caught myself doing it which is funny considering when I started playing PS I resented the RP requirement for it. I just wanted to play the game and be left alone.
For you non RPers I understand how you feel. I have gone through the leveling stages, the I just want to use mechanics stages, simple RP that stricter RPers hate stages and so forth. I have felt your pain. But back to RPers, the problem with this mindset is that
many of us RPers wouldn’t have learned how to RP if it wasn’t for someone tolerating the very things we won’t tolerate now. We need to change our approach.
I realize that we have grown accustomed to a certain level of RP
but if holding out for old friends and the old RPs is not enough to keep the game enjoyable then is it really worth it? It’s time to come back out of our comfort zone, even if for just a little while, and reach out and try to gain back the fun in the game. RP isn’t gone and neither is fun RP. I have taken my own advice and moved out of my comfort zone and I enjoyed it! I had all sorts of interesting RPs, ones I hope will continue on into storylines like I had in the past.
The whole idea is to enjoy the game and when your old friends leave, if you can’t get them to come back
, it’s time to make new ones.
On the other hand, for some of you, it’s not RP that cause the game not to be fun, but other issues often times with individuals.
I ask that you put that aside, after all the whole premise of RP is that RL doesn’t apply while RPing. I trust that there are people with valid issues, but
I beg that you put it aside to have fun. RL sucks so much joy out of life, no need to let it get to your virtual one as well.
Regardless of what has stopped you from enjoying the game in the past, please give it another chance and reach out a little.
You never know, you might just find yourself having fun again.
