To be honest I think the simplest solution is to either revamp the storyline or create a new one. Let Rebels of old have it's old storyline from Destiny Eclipse and after that just make a site based on some time period (hell, choose one from destiny eclipse then) and stick with it. No jumping around in Rps, give the RPs a purpose and a future. My personal preference is when storylines are developed through RPs for a larger purpose. If you just have someone manning their own storyline for their own purpose and someone doing the same and then just making fifteen characters for random RPs, it's just without purpose. Rebels has survived only because people here are just attached to it. DSL has remained active in RPs not because people do what they want but because I've been trying to drive a storyline through so that everyone is interested and their main characters get some action and have ways to grow.


That takes away the freedom and the fun of it. I'm going to try and ressurect Crusade. I might post in that old one somebody bumped. Cimil and I are working on something. Loosen up a bit.

You can have creative liberty in the time period we're in, but if you're too busy creating RPs ranging from the beginning to who knows when, then there's just everyone RPing for self-interest. Personally I like a storyline driven site, because it makes things interesting and you get surprises and your character's development is working toward something.

Then RP in a chatroom if you want quickies, but to me a forum should have some direction from the leaders. Why RP in a community if you're not looking to contribute?
