Celena Wrote:What may help in this situation is for everyone here to think back to when they were a newbie. What about the site at the time did you find the most attractive? For me it was all the alliances and the bad blood and rivalries between certain characters. We need these aspects of the rpg to be brought back.
Great question Celena and I think if/when each member who has posted here answers, we will find more things that will help us bring the community back it's former flare.
1. My love for writing and rping in the DBZ universe.
2. The ability to take on the role of a character I either knew a lot about and hated enough to like writing as them or loving them enough to like writing as them.
3. The atmosphere of Chubbs at the time. I wasn't that confident in my abilities as a writer or rper because it had been some time before I stepped back into the DB/DBZ rping universe; around the time I joined I had taken a long break from it.
4. Once joined I noticed I could make myself stronger and quite 'attractive' to enemies, alliance recruitment(there was an alliance made up of some of the strongest active members that I was trying to catch the eye of but ultimately didn't).
5. Admittedly I didn't read the rules all the way through when I first joined so I didn't really know the Chubbs universe didn't play along closely with the canon universe but after I found out I was happy to have the chance to bring my own twist on Turles even though I screwed up in the beginning by thinking my character and the character Goku would 'have' to know one another as bros etc.
As for reasons I don't rp currently...too many to name. I'll stick to the few that stand out, so far I haven't been able to bring a character to my minds eye that makes me go 'Hell yeah I want to write as him/her/it!' because the atmosphere of the site isn't what it used to be and it's hard for me to put what I mean into words.
My passion to rp is there but it's hard to bring it out on this site at the moment but I hope that will change.
