sorry that people are sick of your majestic mcus

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

if you aren't in the game and never have been maybe don't comment on what you think happened to it because this is a wildly out of touch take

what happened is that after months of stale events the mods decided to convert the game to an sol sandbox and do away with the metaplot despite player feedback to the contrary, and a lot of players understandably dropped because it wasn't what they signed up for. they seem like they've been more engaged lately from some of the chatter I've seen here and on plurk, but the game has also lost a lot of momentum and word of mouth advertising so new apps aren't booming like they used to. that's it.

i dropped because i joined for the plot, not to play in an sol sandbox. nothing against the players who are happy with it but it's not what i was there for.

I hear this sentiment a lot, and yet no one engages with plot when it's put out there. The events this year were very plotty and they barely got any traction. Even back in 2020 a big plot about dragon's tree got ignored to the point that its last part never happened.

It... didn't, though? You seem confused. People participated in that whole plotline and it ran to completion. This doesn't look like it was ignored at all, other than a few dropped threads, most of them by the npc account: https://middaeg.dreamwidth.org/178619.html

I and most of my cr dropped for the same reason. If there was some secret wank conspiracy it must have been really secret, because no one I know ever saw anything. There hasn't even been a wankgate thread about the game since, uh, last summer when they accidentally "pre-banned" an innocent player who was already in the game because of a deetless message from the fellden mods. idk what the anon above is smoking

I feel like that incident didn't help things either. I don't think it played a major part in aef's decline but it was still a really big blunder.

it would have been less of one if hyperdefensive anons didn't make excuses for it and didn't immediately try to downplay it like it was no big deal. mistakes happen, but acting like it was an innocent accident when the mods willfully made a bad decision was incredibly disingenuous.

calling it hyperbolic vitriol and grudgewank like the anon who started this discussion seems to be doing is also really awkward. Kind of uncomfortable seeing the anon(s) in this thread who keep making untrue statements in an attempt to make former players who dropped look bad. Not sure if they're trying to deflect from the issues with the game here or what.

99% sure it's butthurt anons who are in denial that the game is dying. it almost always happens when a game is on its way out, even when it's obvious to everyone else you still have people blubbering B-B-BUT YOU'RE WRONG, IT'S FINE! see also: MoM, where someone (i refuse to believe it was more than one person) argued that the game comm had recent activity so it shouldn't close. despite it clearly being dead.
