Lack of role-play on server

[Reverend Del]

I ain't gonna quote spikefin purely because f the wall of text but I will say I agree with his points. The RP of this server has been going on for quite some years now and it's getting very impenetrable to newbies. This needs to change, If a newbie asks what the smurf is going on, take a little time out to explain it. Don't just say "Go to the forums" The OORP discussions cannot be used by a character as knowledge, the communications are not addressed to them so also cannot be used as in character knowledge. Do not assume you've adequately explained the state of play on the forums, because frankly, you haven't.

Case in point: The current Zoner/Corsair conflict. This has been brewing for a while, there's been a lot of straws on the poor camel's back, and the damn thing has finally broken. But a newbie isn't going to want to spend the hours sifting through all the RP here to find which straws and when.

Perhaps it's time to create history summaries for the major players . Liberty, Rheinland, Kusari, Bretonia, Malta, Crete and Gallia. Explain within what's happened over the last X years and what that's translated into now. Cover major story points, cover minor RP happenings. Just make them concise, to the point and easy to read. In fact I'll start working on those as soon as I'm done with some important Admin work tomorrow.
