Game Discussion / Re: Discord-Only Vs. FH Roleplays

As a longtime member of this Feral Heart community I've always been wondering why roleplaying in the game has come to a slowdown... or almost vanished completely. I remember when I first joined there was roleplaying EVERYWHERE in the game. The chats were always busy with people having casual conversation, roleplay, and other fun talk. Nowadays, it's pretty dead. I just couldn't understand why people weren't as active with roleplays as it used to be. Some say they prefer to roleplay in group chat or party chat rather than local to keep their roleplay private. Some say they take their FH roleplays to Discord. I asked why. Here's what some would say:
"Discord helps keep the group organized and updated in special events."
"If Feral Heart isn't working for one of our members, we take the roleplay to Discord."
"Discord is better for us to keep in touch."
"We do our roleplays in Discord because our roleplay has some dirty stuff in it. We don't want people snitching on us and have the mods snooping in our business."
"If Feral Heart isn't working for one of our members, we take the roleplay to Discord."
"Discord is better for us to keep in touch."
"We do our roleplays in Discord because our roleplay has some dirty stuff in it. We don't want people snitching on us and have the mods snooping in our business."
That last one was a true "reason" given as to why they don't roleplay in Feral Heart. I can't make this up.
That's fine and dandy, but if it's just a Discord Only roleplay then why come on to Feral Heart? If you're not going to use Feral Heart to roleplay on then why bother at all? I just don't understand people sometimes.
I joined Feral Heart for the sake of not only roleplaying but having fun with character creations, having your characters run around different worlds and biomes, using the maps as settings, using the actions and emotes to help your character tell the stories. It's nice to have some visuals when roleplaying.
I honestly have nothing against Discord. In fact, I use it to keep in touch with friends where we can chat while playing different Steam games. I too use it for roleplaying, but they aren't Feral Heart roleplays. More like Dungeons and Dragons sort of roleplays.
In the end, I can't tell people what to do with their roleplay groups. If people want to have their Discord Only roleplays, who am I to tell them they can't or shouldn't? I wish people would enjoy Feral Heart a little more to use it for their roleplays instead of turning to Discord as the soul roleplay platform.
