Experiences Where did you roleplay before you came to RPNation?

[Jackstack]

Undead labs Forums, in their "games" section. It was a close-knit community, and still operate another forum, as that one closed down. Though, the RPing started to die out a year or two before the site actually shut down for good.

 

[riitzy]

I first started off on Gaia Online. Tried going back on there but nobody is really on there RPing anymore which is a little sad. How times have changed lol!

I used to RP on Quotev, and if you don't know what that is, it's simple. It's like Wattpad but never getting an App and aren't able to make creative story images. It used to be a free-for-all kind of website, where you can make public groups, have colorful writing, make quizzes and polls, and stories. The public groups can be used for fan clubs, anime, and character ideas- basically this. However, over the years they got less "fun" I guess is a way you can say it. They took off the colorful font options and TOOK OFF THE PUBLIC GROUPS. It slowly died and, from what I hear from my friends on there, have lost contact with several people. The only way you can get into a rp group is if you personally know the person and they accept your request.

i used to rp on feralheart and then skype!

 

[jesus-two]

random searches on msparp and later group chats there too

 

[MFD Killed Saith Kai]

Gaia Online, just tons and tons of threads on there for years. And then I got sick of the place and tried other websites but nothing really stuck.

 

[Silvaine]

I was in gaiaonline for a long while and it is there that I gain experience in how to write and not be utterly cringey.

The site before it that introduced me to roleplaying will not be mentioned out of utter shame. I was really bad, back then.

I moved to spacebattles, though i never partake in their rp and more a quest participant and a new emerging type called: Round Robin.

I am unsure still about this place with hoe there is so much I am unfamiliar of.

 

[Kawaii Yandere Hime]

Quotev! Back when it was still Quizzaz and they hadn't deleted the groups tab!

 

[a little bit squirrely]

I was on Gaiaonline for 14 years before coming here. I'm also on Iwakuroleplay!

 

[honeylemon]

ChickenSmoothie! Then I migrated to Amino, Discord, then deleted those accounts

 

[Amazing4Life]

The only place I've roleplayed is final fantasy xiv. I've only been RPing for a year.

Habbo Hotel -> 4Kids B] (RIP) -> GaiaOnline -> here ^^

Roblox. Of all things, it was the roleplaying subforum on Roblox.

Roblox. Of all things, it was the roleplaying subforum on Roblox.

You say this like it’s a totally ridiculous place where only you could’ve possibly come from.

I used to play alot of Mount and Blade roleplays, it was great fun but there were multiple moments of people being combat-focused vultures. Someone would play as a Nord and so every joke in their direction was replied with: "You what?" before combat warnings, muggings and/or insults were thrown around at the slightest attempt to appear confident around them. Playing as a merchant? Prepare to be robbed by random characters, the town guard themselves or a noble with nothing better to do... you can't accuse someone of something otherwise it's a death sentence as you are a filthy commoner and they have multiple OOC friends to get them out of trouble at the drop of a hat. There was an awful lot of the same few people in positions of power and so the same people would mess about at everyone else's expense with little to no repercussions by Staff ~ Who either were within that close-knit gang of power-hungry, combat-focused vultures or simply let anything slip by because they're well known on the forums as a meme.

I know me telling of this is in a rather negative way, I used to really enjoy the first few months I joined the community but the same people were causing the same issues.. and it just drained my love of the community which were rapidly becoming a breeding ground for toxicity and immature behavior in and out of the game.

 

[just_patches]

I've been in and out of RP sites
Dramachan (which is dead now I think), Ponychan during my brony days (haven't watched the series since season 2), Discord (still do this one), F-list
Been roleplaying since I was in late highschool, but been making characters and thinking of story ideas since I was a very young child

 

[moodyStrategy]

And now I'm having flashbacks to my first RP. It was a Minecraft server called Creative Fun, on a Saturday. I was bored, then I saw in the chat an advertisement for an RP. Looked up what the heck an RP even is, then I hopped in. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was fun. And I was hooked. After I got some experience, I wanted something more literate and "theater of the mind," which led me to RP Repository. That place wasn't nearly as regulated as I wanted, (multiple guys were looking for some things that would not be OK here,) so I ended up over here. And boy, am I glad I did.

 

[BeautifulLoser]

I started on a website Cartoondollemporium around the age of like 7 or 8 (talk about super super super cringy stuff...). It shut down due to inactivity and they tried moving the like 5 remaining people to a website that I, for the life of me, can’t remember the name of. I eventually moved to Figment from like age 14 and up. They eventually shut that down, too. So now I’m here lol.

 

[MysMesFan]

A lot of different places. I've been role playing for years. I think my first place was on livejournal. I'm not sure how I ended up there, but ended up on some group role plays there, and then mostly switched over to one on ones after I found that group rps came with a lot more OOC drama than I anticipated.

 

[Talons Markens]

Back in 1996, I used to roleplay on a website called snap.com and it was mostly fast textbased where everyone was a merry sue. LOL. We mostly started to apply rules such as no looping aka no actions before the poster's actions. The reason it was called looping because it always ended up with two people trying to one-up each other. It has been so long since I last RP. The last-placed I role played was at Gaia Online. I am mostly checking out this place right now.

Snap.com (Shutdown - Refugee) - MSN Chatrooms - Forums I Can't Remember - Gaiaonline...

 

[CecilDMMasters]

At home with my brother's as a child. Started online RP with people I met on DA

 

[Gabe]

I used a program called iRPG. It was a chatroom based program that you could make character sheets and whatnot, and it was more focused on the chat part. I discovered roleplaying there and I haven't stopped since.

My second place to be was actually here, and I'm really happy to be on this site
I even remember when it had a chatroom on the front page!

 

[YsFanatic]

I started with a Phantasy Star IV RP on MSN Groups. Dabbled a bit in Avid Gamers and a few other things, but eventually ended up at Shining Force Central because of one of the players of the PSIV RP brought me there. SFC has a small, but very active group of players there. A variety of RPs were run there, ranging from regular OC and fandom type games to ones that mixed both together. The last type pretty much all fell into a single timeline as two of us have factions capable of going to different universes and alternate realities. It was nice having continuity between some of the games as it allowed for friends/family/children of previous characters to show up if one wished as well as things such as an un-resolved sidequest transforming into a full blown RP adventure to happen.

However that group has largely shifted towards number heavy systems like D&D while I still prefer freeform or more narrative type systems like Fate Core for my forum RP adventures. Thus I decided to look for new places to play, and as such here I am!

Chicken smoothie and Flight Rising, I was honestly too young to be RP-ing but I thought I was super good at writing and nobody could tell that I was just a little kid. (Which was definitely not true, as I had not mastered the comma or other grammar skills.)
