[Shadowwell]

I would also appreciate it if any info that isnt in the OP could be given to me, before i put up an app.

Unfortunately this has died.

Would any of you want a reboot of this in the near future?

This time I think I'd opt for a nation/faction based RP rather than a purely character driven one.

Nation version could be fun though if near future is near summer or in summer I won't be able to do it since I go to the land of no-connection for two months during the summer.

My preference goes to a character-driven roleplay. I really liked the initial setup.

Same, I think we just got a lot of inactive people.

In that case low isles and agadar, is there anything I should change so that it doesn't die quite so fast?

[Videssos]

Can't quite remember what this was about, and the deleted OP doesn't help.

I'd try and make sure to accept only people who are prepared to see the entire roleplay through. The last iteration of this roleplay died because half the people suddenly left and subsequently, the other half was left without their Mage or Warder.

I can't really know if they will see it through. I guess I could put something into the OP but i doubt that will change much.

It's the one about mages and warders that I don't think you were in.

Well, I lurked a bit, but I didn't actually make an app. Then I drifted off, and noticed that I'd probably have a bit of catching up to do if I got around to being involved.

You can always join this time around, but you have to be active, cause I'm getting tired of all the RPs i'm in dying.

I'm still lurking

I am somewhat iffy on the partner roleplaying (warder and mage). It does two things: 1.) gives each partner a reason to want to continue posting. it means that each person is more devoted to themselves, so they hope to post more. 2.) if one of them leaves, the other is stranded. At that point, they are basically out.

I would say, maybe have players rp as warder and mages, so that nobody is getting dragged down. I have seen magic rps where people have a magical aide or summoned monster they wield, so it is not alien.

I guess that would work, and those who still want to do the Mage-Warder combo have the opportunity if they feel as though they can make it work.

That said, should we follow the same plot line, or should we do something different?

I'd be totally up for a reboot, preferably still character-centric.

I think following the same plot line is probably the best course of action, perhaps with minor variations in the beginning to hook people on to the story more quickly. Really the biggest problem the first time around was simply that we got unlucky when a large number of people drifted off. I don't think it was because of the plot. It can't always be helped when people leave, unfortunately.

I couldnt post because my partner didn't

Little time right now, finals in two weeks..

The duels were supposed to be the hook, but they both dragged on for awhile, and didn't seem to serve their purpose.

We needed to give some life to roleplaying. This one is dead, so I must give light in some exciting roleplayers. Aren't you interested?

He either forgot about advertising rules, or he thought he could get away with it, I assume.

Certainly not now. If you'd have asked then maybe it would be ok to post that here, but its certainly not ok to just advertise in another RP without permission.

I liked the quality we were getting, and the partner idea was great... the thing was, it was weighed down by a lot of RPers that just never showed, or fell out. We had, I think, the startings of a good RP, but the dead weight drowned us.

I think that if you do a reboot, for nation or character it doesn't matter, you need to make sure all the RPers with show up. That also ties in with the duo idea, where you could only have one of a pair. Most of the good RPers were made to fall out by partners that weren't good... Give the option for both, for two to share and pair or RP a pair themselves, and that should help.

Also... add something to the Maleficars. Like, drop their power level, add a horrible flaw to them, and then let the RPers make maleficars. The lower level mages would still be interesting because they don't have a massive flaw, and the maleficars would draw in the RPers that like being the bad ass one trip pony. Oh, and make the more powerful the mage is (Excluding maleficar), the more specialized they have to be. Like, a magus has to use only one kind of magic for combat and be very weak in others, and then lower you go, the broader the range but weaker the power.

And you need to be more specific with how exactly magic works... give the RPer a system and they will follow it, but leave it vague and they feel confused and awkward, because they don't want to step on your toes... or they manipulate the lack of said system to make their character too OP.

I agree with the entirety of this post.

Elerian, if you're no longer interested in hosting this roleplay, I'd be interested in possibly hosting it myself.
