I really do think that roleplaying is in essence mostly about the same as playing with the LotR mod. It's about living through stories and colourful worlds along with other people. I think we do need some kind of advertisement on there, as other people will probably like to experience the joy of roleplaying. I mean, the reason it was moved from the LotR mod wiki was that it was so popular that it was putting the wiki in its shadow. Like half the wiki at the time was roleplaying. What is happening to us is what happened to the ents or the elves. And letting it just die is like not passing on a sport to the next generation, just because not enough people can ever see it. We could possibly even put up advertisements on Reddit/set up a subforum there. I had the idea for a subreddit, there are plenty of active RP subreddits, I've even joined a few.

I get the sense that the wiki, or the people on it, has fundamentaly changed. I remember the days of old, where we had great RPs, a vibrant community, and we all were nice to eachother and had some good times. I feel like things have gotten much more... serious, and people are sour to eachother. "And slowly the days grew sour, and the watchful night closed in."

I would like to get more people, but only if this community is willing to make a true and honest change for the better. As of now, the wiki is broken. If we can fix it, I'd like to see some new blood. But we can't invite them to the wiki, in the broken state like it is. That begs the question, as Immy stated, is this website worth saving? I've slowly seen users begin to leave... James, Travian, Commandorgregor, Karos, Hobit, and Morgul. Several other users are now here only less and less. There's definitely a downward trend that doesn't seem to be going away. But we need to make major changes to fix that, if we decide that the wiki is worth saving.

Honestly, the only slight glimmer of hope I see if we continue to go down this path is the Magus Archives Series.
