I'd say poor communication, the lack of dedicated players and trolls kill an rp. Especially True in long rps with a huge number of participants.

This is so helpful, thank you for posting this question!
One guy taking ether to big a role to be replaced and not being deticated or someone taking all the major roles. That along with slow progressing in the plot, inability for new roleplayers to interact and throw in a dash of terrible rpers and ober powered people. BOOM dead rpThe question I have is what factors lead to a great RP dying out and how to prevent them?
Why do I ask such a question?
Well, the answer is simple. I, like many others on Rpnation, am looking to start up an RP soon. However, I have watched many of my favorite RPs die before the story could even begin. So I thought to consult the public on why this happens and what I can do to best prevent it as a future Gm. This will greatly benefit me as well as others who wish to start an RP here
Thank you to everyone who shares their opinion :3

I joined this rp that i was super pumped for only for it to die because a one liner took two of the four main rolesOne line rp player are the typical ones who are the most Self Important Mary sues in a RP<(-︿-)>
Yea, when i was younger i would commit the arch sin my self and i still feel bad about itEvery person who sees roleplaying as 'fast food' entertainment. And notification addicts. They are the ones who kill all roleplays in one way or another.
This too:
"Oh I love our roleplay."
An hour later
"Are you going to post?"
Thirty minutes later
"I haven't heard from you in a while, are you still interested."
Twenty minutes later
"Did I do something wrong?"
Ten minutes later
"Your post was so good! I can't wait to see what happens."
The next day
"You didn't post are you okay?"
Thirty minutes later
"When are you going to post?"
*Rapidly changing statuses throughout the day*
"I have no replies I'm going to quit roleplaying."
"Where are all my partners at?"
"Im done with this!"
"Will someone reply?"
Enough said.
People leaving.
