Hello. New to this forum and this style of RP.
To elaborate on a generic question, I am curious what people's stories are which led them to where they are now. What people's thoughts are with RP and the good and the bad they have seen from it. A way to get the general mood of this forum and a way to share stories and curiosity.
I'll go first. I used to play WoW for a time, ending in 2016 when I generally got bored of the game, but before I could quit, I compulsively decided to join an RP server and see what that was about.
Six years later... (It was good), I find myself drifting away from the open form of RP that is joining RP guilds and roaming the world finding people to RP with. There have been good stories from this, some bad. But nothing huge. It was good overall. But it was hard to stay there with a slowly dwindling community and people forming closer and closer nit groups which are mostly self-contained and isolated.
For a time, I tried private servers and found the same issue. The people who did stuff mainly already had a group to log in for and it was all very self-contained. That, combined with the fact that characters of mine would meet people, only to be soft-ghosted by them weeks or months after. This was a constant issue I faced throughout my time with online roleplay, and why I came to a place like this, as I grew burned out and weary of that community.
What are other's experiences over the years? Are these pros and cons people have seen in their paths to online RP? I got here through WoW. How did you get here?
