Episodic Eternia

[Konaa]

I do feel like this would ultimately be more of a band-aid than a permanent solution. the reason why rp slows and scatters is the sense of division and danger in the no man's land. also: war. war loses its impact when it happens commonly enough. it just gets exhausting, and people start to drop because everything's miserable. i do not really think people need active warfare to find reasons to conflict and engage themselves.

hard cap the settlements - have minor structures in the wilderness to add flavor and fill in the gaps, but make the Big Centers of Rp just one or two - maybe 3. of course, i was a big fan of ultra-osrona and wish we were still on that, but failing that, limit spreading the playerbase around as much as possible and encourage people to expand upon what exists rather than strike out to make their own clubhouse.

while it's not quite the same as an anime game rip, since history and the setting don't change, the permanence and steady flow of time was one of the things that made eternia stand out. players making the history is this game's signature, and i feel as if timeskipping does away with that.

also, these days it feels like characters barely make it to 35, so i don't know if they really outstay their welcome anymore...
