It's also worth mentioning that there were a fair number of users on the old site that were there JUST for the RP subforums. We already know what kind of basic structure is successful - if we were to shape a new setting around that, it would cater to old members familiar with that structure, as well as provide an interesting new world for the newer ones to latch onto.

Just a thought.

Thirded.

Really, in the last attempt of creating an RP, it seemed like people thought too much about the setting when it never came out, then it was gone with the wind.

So I think a simple easy-to-play RP, that people can help shaping it together, would be ideal for now. Then we can update new patch once we have enough RPer to get more serious.

Fourth'd.

Let's start out with something basic. There are a whole bunch of really creative members here, and with a basic formula, the world can be built by member interaction.

I'm a member on a site whose RP started out as a very basic Order/Good vs. Chaos/Evil conflict between the two nations that made up the world. Now, it is about two or three thousand IRP years later, there are about twelve gods/goddesses that all bicker like children, there are about thirty factions that a player character could start out as, and the landmasses and continents were rearranged three separate times, and that expansion was thanks to about two or three members introducing new creation myths that welded discrepancies in the plot and made everything a hell of a lot more complex, as well as a couple in-jokes about some errors on the forum. Currently that site is down for repairs (something about licensing changes and updates and all that other stuff), but still, that site was opened in 2003/4.

We can do better, all we need to do is start with the basics. Perhaps a Chaos/Good vs. Order/Evil Fire Emblem-esque RP with Awakening classes?

Also, WyvernSlayer, you had me pegged. I like fire emblem, but I like the RPing better.
