Hey everybody,
So here is the information I have on the RP forums that are both dead and alive and well currently. Most of my old RP mates will probably find this section the most interesting.
Escellsia: dead
Most of everyone already knows this, but because of population issues and administration issues with keeping up with the site, escellsia.com has officially gone down months ago. Hopefully everyone has gathered all the information they needed on their characters (I never did, unfortunately, but I'll talk about that later). If you have any need for information, I don't think I can help you...my information isn't linked onto the server provider, so I can't 'revive' any of that info back up. I think the best person to talk to would be Harrison for that, but I don't know what's the chances of you getting in touch with him about the subject or if he'd be willing to talk about it. If there are any questions about this, comment and I'll try to answer you to the best of my ability.
Seinvocc (ex-sister site): dying/dead
I think most people remember that this was our sister site which shared our "escellsia" url name. It had picked up slowly in popularity, but then did a dramatic plunge when suddenly it was no longer fun. The site has apparently broken up some of his friendships, drama, blah. So currently, from what I gather, literally the only person who is there is Caleb who is waiting for members to either join or come back. From a few talks with people, it seems like there was a lot of issues with the way the site wanted characters to be, bias character creation and just generally how the site was run. Also, character 'adoption' center...which in my book isn't cool at all and feels like someone's creative work is being given away...without their permission, since it's only done if the character is 'idle' on the site.
Vescrutia: dying
I say dying not because there are not people there, but because the system now is apparently, from what I hear, is failing them. A hope for a revamp of the system is apparently coming up, now accepting completely new characters that have no ties to references, oh original! Sorry, my sarcasm was leaking. I don't hate them, don't get me wrong, but Escellsia kind of did that, oh I dunno, since it was first created, but for some reason it was laughed at for such an idea. It's kinda ironic how these things work...anyway, only a handful of admins are alive and most of the people still there either 1. have a very settled character who is already involved in the plot or 2. are fairly new and trying to make a name for themselves. Caleb's (old?) best friend currently roleplays there, not Seinvocc.
Ardermina Online: on/off
AO is based off of the anime Sword Art Online, a show revolving around virtual reality RPG games and is being maintained by friends Courtney and CJ. I found the anime one of the best of 2012 with excellent animation and a solid (first arc) plot. So AO was up my alley. It has great character creation options, including making offline and online characters. There are shops, smiths, cities, quests, an inventory to keep an eye on, etc. Recently, there have been little activity there, but still trickles in. I have a feeling that activity will eventually just pick up out of no where, so keep this site in your sights.
Elestia/Ecclasia: dying
Elestia is a Pokemon RP forum headed by an old friend, Stefanos. It's pretty well made, all of the areas have been well thought-out and created. RP there is whimsical, but be warned...there's a little bit more realism to the RP than just plain fantasy. People are incapable of just 'showing up' places conveniently. Elestia is one of the very few RP forums which requires players to plan travel, including food, a place to stay, etc. Time is also a factor in the forums and a certain amount of (real) time will have to elapse in order for some things to occur, i.e: building a catapult may take a few hours... However, despite this awesome design, there doesn't seem to be a lot of people in the actual forums roleplaying. Unlike AO, I am a little unsure whether or not traffic will pick up for Elestia, but I'm hoping it will surprise me.
Kwandrivia: alive
A site modeled after the former Escellsia, this takes nearly all the plans we had before and places them into Kwandrivia. It is headed by Bill at the moment. Many of the same aspects have been added, as well as the exact same system we proposed for the old Escellia. New aspects have been added on top of the old ones as well, opening up new options, new races and new fighting styles. Pokemon is still available and a Pokemon gym is in most major regions.The population there is small...maybe 4-5 people at best, including myself. Character creation is standard and is quite lenient. I honestly want to have fun there...that's all that really matters to me and so far it seems that way.
Please feel free to explore any of these pages...just look them up on google. They're all pretty unique names and I'm sure you'll find them.
