Title: Is FH dying?
Post by: XtremeOwnage234 on July 05, 2012, 02:09:01 am
I just thought this to myself, and then i realized "OMG! I could be right!"  :(  None of the groups are active. It got so boring, I just spent and hour making new chars. Anyone agree with me?

There are many active roleplays/groups. They may not stay that way for long, but there's always another there to replace them.

There's plenty to do. Presets, maps, roleplay. So it depends on your tastes. If you're bored, try something new. Learn to make presets or maps. Will be less boring, I assure you.

Some role-plays are actually very active and there are usually 20-30 members online at a time, but having so many members online at the time means that they don't have to recruit all the time and only seldom do. I would suggest asking your friends what RP they are in, or how active it is, or how fun. Who knows what you might find, chances are you'll find one you like.

I've had that kind of problem a lot of rps/groups are active for a few days but after that everyone just stops coming or even leaves the group. It's got really hard to find any good groups  :/

There's a few out there, you just have to look. Ones advertised on the forums tend to be pretty long-term. So take a look around here also

I just recently joined Feral Heart two days ago but haven't played much since signing up. I've probably played not even two hours of it and I have to say its extremely boring. I'm also finding it hard to play strangely enough, the controls I'm starting to get the hang of which is really awesome!

Its a very active game but I get ignored by everyone and when I get noticed I get raged at...so frustrating being a newbie of a loner..

in any game, people come and leave. Someone can get bored of a game and leave, but new people always come.

you need to make new friends ;)

I just fear a little the missing of updates of the game can make the amount of players to drop.

I thought Feral-heart could be dying too. But that's only because of the group I was in, Forestclan, (the biggest warrior cat rp in Feral-heart) fell apart quite harshly. But its not exactly that the game is dying, it's because more and more people make maps and roleplay in pairs or small groups. Maps have become sort of like a demand, but those who can't download them are kind of left out. And being that role playing has gotten so many more ideas, everyone wants to do a different role play but can't find a group who wants to do it too.

With the sheer amount of users that log onto FeralHeart with each passing day, I believe not that the game is withering away. Groups come and go all the time ; it's somewhat like a cycle of nature. Not a single group I know has lasted over 6 months. You just have to look around, not all RP's advertise.

I wish i had Animal Planet Dx Save the whales!!

I think it depends what time of the day your on Feralheart. In the morning for me, FH is active with loads of rps being advertised. At night time, empty, boring, quiet, no advertisements.

I completely agree with you.

Actually, there are plenty of active role-playing groups. It is a pity when they don't stay for long though, especially when there's an excellent site and plot all set up. But I suppose that nothing lasts forever.

However, what is dying within FeralHeart is intelligence. Granted, it never used to be inhabited by the most luminous of people, but the quality of the intellect has dropped in the past few months (quite probably because of all the inexperienced people joining and the experienced people leaving). All you have to do is sit in Fluorite and you'll notice.

I can't seem to find anyone that will talk to me, I have been playing for a week and getting no where, its pretty dead.

It is indeed. Maybe they leave because it gets boring after awhile.

Boring? My tail! lol Anyways, it HAS been getting a bit.. dead, especially up in the General chat, where you normally have to shut it off. I think that it may be because, lately, i've witnessed ALOT of complaints and accusations reffering or concerning Powerplaying~or~GodModdin'.

dying?i believe its lively than ever and is annoying for some reason because of the bad tokens that i get everytime i go in Fluorite Plains.As about my group..well...i just leave it if it hasnt shown any life sign or make another char and look for other rp.And Kyaine,when i first started to play FH i thinked the same as you.You just need to get used.

Post by: Milk and Cookiez on July 23, 2012, 09:18:51 pm
I dont believe it's dieing. ((Though I could be wrong since I haven't been playing not even a month. LOL))  Everytime I walk into Flourite, if it's not 6 in the morning or past midnight, flourite and bonfire's population is already past 150. And you must remember, even if you dont see much in public places, there are private maps for rp groups. Some of the people are there, away from the main part. For the rp's coming and going, to have a successful rp you must have a very active leader. If the leader isn't on, even if you have over 9000 members (<-- Fail. e_e) they're all going to eventually leave or stop coming on that character because of that. On world of warcraft, I once had my own rp group, and people would whisper me saying something like they wanna join because i'm the most active. ((You know what's strange? It was a warrior cats rp. Everyone was druids. XD But thats not the point.)) One day, I went on vacation for a month, notifying everyone that I would be gone for a while, and when I came back there were only two members out of fifty still in the guild.

No, Feral heart is not dying and if it was then a lot of  us may not get a lot of bad tokens when entering flourite plains. However I do agree with some of the people's posts about the role play wise, A lot of role plays  especially Literate, realistic pride ones. (And now somewhat of literate realistic wolf role plays) are mostly somewhat dead or just not recruiting unless your lucky enough to find that good role play that is not actually recruiting for new members.


Yes, I know that some of you would say "Make a group." But! It is not easy, making a group. There are some of us who has the patience to make a group and handle it, have the responsibly to try to make everyone happy in the group and try to make it active as much as they can. As well as make it  the way they want it to be. Whatever, it is literate un-literate, semi-literate, realistic or not.

 And there are some who just can't handle all of that pressure/patience of leading an entire group role play. So some of us seek out literate mapped role plays or none mapped, realistic or not. Role plays and see if that group can qualify our needs in staying in the group and hope that it will not die.  But due to the lack of literate role plays in the game... Especially African/Pride role plays some of us, like some of my friends will semi-quit feral heart or just will not return. I seen some good role literate lion role plays that are mapped or so... But they have not been lasting long maybe about for 3 weeks if lucky or a week and "BAM!" everyone is simply off offline since the first day the group recruited and refuse to come on until the leader comes on. The leader gives up on the group  might be one of these:

The leader gives up on the group because every-time he or she recruit the players do not come back on for awhile, a good while.

 I already said this before... The leader thought she or he had what  it takes to lead a good role play... But does not and abandons the group.


 When the leader is looking for members, just started the group. For let's say a lion role play, looking for literate and active members. Making a good advertisement about his or her group... Let's say she or he only got three or at least five people to join her group. Usually it's more then five or three people... But ever since... ((I might offend half of you, I have nothing against this type of role play.) Warriors started spawning into feral heart, a lot of players kind of switched over and join warriors or wolf role plays.  The lion or African role plays are slowly dying little by little. Experienced members switched over to warriors or wolf role plays or may have quit feral heart...  because it is boring after a while.

They know they can make a map, but some of us does not have the patience to even make a map, and if we do make a map, we get whispers like "How big is the map? Is it detailed or not?" They know they can make presets but no one will probably jump on DA besides the users friend to download the preset in order to see them in-game with the preset. You can explore feral heart, yeah we know that and it gets boring after you explore everywhere in feral heart unless you download a public four world map and some leave because of the server lag/issues or no content/patch update. We know that the mods have no control over the game and they try their best to keep us to date each month.  Sorry for the long post...

Won't quote you entirely Kairi, because that'd make this more long than it needs be.

I'll say this because I feel it should be voiced by both those wanting to join, and those that have things to be joined.

I think I've had my roleplay up for about three weeks. And we've been roleplaying, and I'm satisfied I've had 100 or more users come through that proboards account. The problem? No one wants to stick around. People say they want a long-term roleplay, but when it comes to actually having one that /is/ long-term, and though it may not be an every day thing, people don't seem to want it.

People seem to want their roleplays spur of the moment. They want the leader on when they are, they want the entire roleplay to be going at all times while they're on, oh but wait, they don't want to have to be there for the roleplay when its going on if it interferes with other things, the day after they joined.

I see what you mean about leaders giving up; but there comes cases where leaders are put into the position of: "I'm doing what I can, I'm trying to please everyone, but these guys won't do their part and show up." And so, this type of outlook would cause someone to quit. It's even harder for a multi-grouped roleplay. You have to worry about all the groups in the map being active to take part in the roleplay; and not just your own.

point of the above is to say, it's no more fault for the ones attempting to make the roleplays work than it is for the people who are looking for these roleplays. You complain about inactivity, but don't you realize that you the member base makes up this inactivity?

Feral Heart isn't dying. It's not connecting or making chains between users.

You said everything That I was trying to say, but said it in a more detailed version. I agree 100% with you. I did not put it into my post because like you said it was getting a bit too long. xD I have been a group leader for a pack and a pride. You are right some of the members do not come on, only come on when the leader is on and ignore the two or three users that are online.

Some do say they want an active role play but they do not play their part for the role play to stay active... And it does sometimes make the leader give up on the role play and let it die slowly. I was not saying it is the leader's fault 100% some of it is the users as well.
