Can we bring back roleplaying?
So, I started Rh in 2017 and I've been a loyal player up until like 2023. After quitting for a WHILE I recently decided to check how it's doing, and even though the decline is obvious and very sad, playing it still makes me happy. I'm tired of chasing trading, grinding and desperately trying to keep up, and I just want to enjoy the game when I feel like a distraction.
Even though, I remember when I used to play with my friends or just start roleplaying or complimenting whoever I came across. Now the community feels empty, like all connection there used to be is completely gone (call it nostalgia, call it whatever. I also wanna point out that the chat ban holds a lot of responsibility for this). Trying to play like back in the day, I discovered you can still chat by typing in your name in the menu that appears on the right. Sure, it's tedious, but I'd say it's a good enough solution. Plus, I immediately thought it's great for proximity chat and therefore, roleplay.
I really don't want to let the community die, no matter how many obstacles, and I want to contribute to something that I loved and still do. So, I think it'd be a great idea to start a roleplay server.
The idea is to build a well curated community (no matter how small) and roleplay with an established story built by the members, a weekly play session (or more, but I want it to be accessible for all of us who don't have that much free time anymore), characters and activities about them, events... There are many things to take into account, but I'm more than willing to put in the effort. One of the main problems however, is whether people would even want to join.
All of that just to ask if there's anyone who would be interested in something like this, or even who would like to help create it or just hang out in the meantime and offer input and opinion. Anything really is appreciated :D
Tl:dr Is anyone interested in roleplay servers anymore? (I'm sorry for the big text lol)
