Hey, I just wanted to ask.. is the Order Shard dead? I mean, I see like max 5 or 6 people on in one day, that counting the statues Woobie, Jsntron or those that actualy never move or speak..
I was thinking of doing some RP stories out there, but theres just not people anymore.
Almost everyone I meet and get to know just suddently vanish after like a week or a few days.
Anyone still out there? :<
Role play is pretty much dead now sadly, all the regular RP'ERS quit, and moved on to other games. I still play, but seldome. Due to real life being extremely busy. But if you ever see any if my characters on, feel free to send a poke. Negadragoon, Reagle, Ryzaak, Ramyrhis, and Deinonychus are my mains. :)
Currently it's the best place to feel lonely. So come in and join! */sarcasm off*
Pretty dead right now, but I'm waiting until Christmas and Lov's Christmas event before I make any final judgements. People like to come back for the double EXP and some stick around. This general time of year (September to early December) is the most dead.
Edit: I did see 12 online earlier, 2 of which being our afk master. New record for this week afaik.
A few friends of mine have also shown interest in making new characters once the tints come out, so maybe a few people will dribble back in..
Really it's a toss up. I don't know anymore.
I also plan to make a few new hatchlings once the new tints come out. got a few already made to save the name LOL!! But perhaps with all the new content coming out, more will return *crosses talons*
The past weeks I've been very busy on my RL and job and will keeping me busy until christmas. After christmas I got some vacation and being back on both, Istaria and the Lexica, at least two more characters will be online then ;)
Yay seems that there will be definately more people at least for a short while, thats most warming.
Order was very busy today, too. Very surprising.
That or they went to Chaos.. There is roleplaying happening on both servers.. Im active im just more relax right now XD but the Order server has always been a Strict community for roleplaying. Also alot of RL events pull people away.. so its not dead its just.. Not active right now ^^ But when its active its active Remember People round the world play aka Different timezonesQuote:

I was never a super-active RPer but I was definitely sucky at the start. Never really had any issues I hear talked about... but never really detailedQuote:

Anyway, 31 people on yesterday and 9 on today. Reallllyyyy big fluctuations.
Order's really not too stroct. As Racktor sais. As long as you keep your OOC (out of character), and I (in character) seperate, and try to keep your character, and RP within the lore, you'll be just fine.
Oh! Can't forget, it's school season, as well as holiday season. So many people are very busy during the week, and often on weekends right now. Things should pick up a bit after New Years. ;)
Whoops. Sorry for the typos. Phone key pad. Lol
I've never seen anything strict about RP in Order. As previously stated, only the use of brackets properly, aswell as not God playing (inmortal, overpower, etc) and I don't really like over drama either, but beside that I never seen anyone never, ever, say something like "You can't rp because your way of RP is not good enough".
And I've been like a week on chaos, never seen anyone RP there.
Because we're sneaky! :p
At the risk of derailing the thread, there's an RP channel on Chaos, if I'm not mistaken. It's player-made I think. I severely doubt there's any rp in the open, though.Quote:

With that said, I also find the shard pretty dead and when you finally are able to log in during your busy life only to find an empty shard it's a bummer. I hit my nose to a mere more or less 5 people online many times and that got me wondering what the heck is the best time to log in then?... :(
Though as Racktor said, autumn semester seem to be deadly. Might be because it's oftentimes the hardest one in college (my case) but also in some careers because Christmas is coming. And during the holidays well people are with their family and friends so they're basically not online.
I'm still there just super busy during school. But now that I'm in vacations I'll be able to show up a lot more! :D I'm up for RP anytime, I just tend to not approach people for it. ^^; Need to change this hah...
This here is correct there's open RoleplayQuote:

Aka, I mean:
Racktor glides into the clearing on golden wings and looks around with his blue eyes, scanning for any sign of life. He spots a red drake laying in the shade, possibly sleeping, and approaches him curiously.
Not:
Racktor hugs his friend with his wing!
I might just be in the wrong places/logging in at the wrong time, though.
@Levanan: You also tend to log in later at night iirc.... I've noticed a lot of Order peeps are European and just won't be online then. About noon to six is when you get the most people on weekends (EST) and in an even shorter window during the week. Sucks you've only been hitting 5s and 6s, though.
Hey! I just recently joined, but I'm an rper! Ive been annoying people trying to find it! Look for Erendia. If I'm on, I want to rp. If no one else wants in, we'll just make our own rp!
