"let's just erase everybody's progress, that'll definitely bring some interest”

Wrong! This is just really lazy thinking, resetting the RP isn't going to magically bring in players and you're delusional if you think it will. The only thing it's going to do is cause a lot of the current players to leave and nobody new is going to join an RP that could just 'reset' at any time.

Obviously restarting right here won't do shit. That's why I said you do it in a different place or advertise to other OP communities. I much prefer do it in a different place idea. By different place, I mean different forum. Move everything over.

I agree about advertising but resetting the RP is unnecessary and a really bad idea, it just gives off the wrong impression that nothing here ever matters because everything could just reset again at any given time. Who really wants to play a game like that? I know I don't.

With that this place dies

You can give the OG members some special rights while resetting. Let them continue their progress from where they last were, like you as an Unwritten Pirate or Drago as a Shichibukai but have them all start out at level 60 so it's not all over the board.

Yes, but for now I don't see any other solution. The place is already bleeding. Do you have life saving surgeries in mind?

We are just going trough a bad phase, in the next months things will be alright. The whole world is on pause now, so the rp can take a little 1-2 months break. I'm active as F but even I can't seem to be able to post with all the things I have to do these days. T^T

What's the reset going to accomplish then if it's not even a full reset? It's just capping the level of certain players at 60 while new players still start at 25 lol

Honestly the best solution is just temporarily raising the starting level in a period where we heavily advertise or something.

There's always a way and means. Its just what's going on real life that has caused a huge disturbance. Though I won't say it caused the entire thing as that's circumstantial on every person.

That's fine. I still would like to transition to a new place tho. A better home field + advertise would do a lot of good.

TB as a platform is lot better than many forums for this RP what we lack is not a platform... we lack members. Our goal it makes TB RP active but not to move over

I don't see how TB is a good platform when it lacks the members in order to make this section active. What we need are the members. TB can't provide that. Other platforms do.

To begin with, TB is not limited to specific members. Anyone can sign up beside... the problems lies with the TB lack of sections, we need one piece bigger section to attract people, TB very well can become active once we take the right steps... Making alliance with other forums is solution to that

I believe that it's a little too late to transition into an OP forum or put more focus into that area. I'm not sure what more sections are going to do. The other anime sections we got are inactive(Kingdom and My Hero). Demon Slayer and JoJo are pretty much the only other series that can be made sections out of and I don't see how that will increase membership for RP. We want OP guys, not other anime fans. Lastly, do you see any new section being active? I really don't. You can add them, but what's the point of they're not active and become slow? Also, what will you do with these sections once they got up? Advertise? Say you do, that begs the question again, how will that attract OP users for RP?

Lack of sections isn't a problem.

Of course, having many sections alone does not guarantee activity. We're giving them layout, scenery, reasons to stick around, the lack of things people have here to discuss is disturbing. Once we have these things we move to another step which being trying to recruit new members, it's not easy but not impossible either, the most important thing we try and don't give up. Trying doesn't include erasing the progress of old players, it's betraying their 2 years of passion they have shown for this RP.

What we need is much like how zoos covet a panda to raise attendance. If the other forums mention the Thrillerbark as having one piece RP, bigger one Piece section, Mafia section with many other sections, that'll surely attract people's attention.

Still, Just attracting people was no guarantee of improving the RP condition. But I do believe it's not late what we need is to make right decisions

How is erasing everyone's progress good? Lol

I'm not gonna lie, I feel like everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room. Yeah, there are obvious issues with activity being crazy low,
but I mean look outside.

There is a pandemic fellas, personally speaking I'm not feeling super duper motivated to RP; I'm kinda sad, I can't get my meds, I haven't seen a lot of my friends in months. I bet many people feel the same way.

And to tell the truth, NOTHING is more demoralizing than seeing everyone give up and complain about there not being enough activity. How do you expect to have new players join or old players stay when all we do is whine about inactivity?

How is erasing everyone's progress good? Lol

To play devil's advocate:

1. There are currently level gaps that cannot be bridged by a solo player who isn't devoting 100% of their time to the game (and has a host equally dedicated). In other words, a new marine will NEVER catch someone like Larsi ever.
2. We are legit running out of islands.
3. A good amount of characters are either passed their end-game or nowhere near it. Stalling won't accomplish much.
4. The REVOs have been in purgatory for, (what?) 2 years now?
5. Our only marine is a pirate in denial.
6. It gives GMs time to iron out any kinks in the system and even add more.

At the end of the day, I'd prefer a different solution or everyone just being patient during the time of a pandemic but if it comes down to a reset or the death of the RP. I'll go with reset every time.

Obviously restarting right here won't do shit. That's why I said you do it in a different place or advertise to other OP communities. I much prefer do it in a different place idea. By different place, I mean different forum. Move everything over.

Not super into that idea simply because it feels like a giant kick to the face of all the people who helped make this community for all of us, and all the people who donated to help TB get off the ground.




Sorry, I've been thinking about it for a while.

 

[Frayz]

If most are in favour of resetting, who am I stop it. All I know is I won't devote any more time to this game if it does reset, what happens if it changes nothing? Will we just keep resetting the game until it does? Lol
