You would be amazed, Lady Alizarin.
I was in a WC RP for about 2 years, from my first literate days until the beginning of this summer.
It was great, really.
Everyone was active for the first, I dunno, 5-6 months?
Then, the map maker decided to make a new map, and hand the old one over to trolls, so we couldn't RP in it.
We lost a lot of members then because they thought,
"Oh, ya know, we CAN'T RP, so OBVIOUSLY everyone is gonna stay!"
They tried their best to keep long-time members, but fails.
Anyways, back to the topic.
I normally make a web site using webs, because it's fast and easy, and if an RP gets tossed, I don't care because I don't spend much time on the sites.
Maps, I make for RPs even if I know they won't work, because It's fun to make maps XD
A lot of people join RPs because their 'Mapped and sited!' because that means... What?
The RP has a site, kewl, whatevs. That doesn't mean its active.
If anything, it means its NOW active because they have to update news on the SITE and not in game.
People spend too much time on RPs, just to never get members or go unactive within the next week or so.
Like my Medicatus RP.
I know it's NEVER gonna get members, NEVER gonna do much interest.
I mean oh my gosh it's not even a real species, not even a popular one. It's made up.
I know A LOT of people who do these types of RPs for their friends, because they think its gonna be cool.
Anyways, this is 76% off topic, so... -Poof-
