I've been having long talks with Kor these past few nights. and one thing I've learned is that he takes his RP's to heart
He's been trying to explain to me his problems with the RP forums, granted sometimes with a hint of depression and on occasion a high pitch of rage
But I think I see what he's been trying to point at, and frankly, its something I partially agree with
his problem is that he cant keep up with the RP's. there's too many posts in a day, and if he's gone only for a few hours those posts add up and become a pain to catch up on... most especially when your character becomes immobile those few hours and eventually fade from the RP due to how long you've been away from that RP
Kor has pitched to me how this could be controlled... we all need to post just a few times a day, but make sure not to post so much that other people get left out.
We need to leave room for everyone who's a big part of that RP
So what does everyone think on this issue?
My Opinion:
I kind of agree, only this problem really hasnt effected me too seriously... it only has effected me when I've been gone for a full weekend and when I get back, I have to read a whole bunch of posts and come up with a reason why my characters have been so idle. But this happens not only at GoF, its a common problem with forums everywhere. especially more popular forums (my friend Toby on here should know) where hundreds of people participate in RP based forums a day
