[@Jbcool] I have noticed that going for a too realistic RP tends to attract people who want everything to be 100% accurate, and who expect everyone to do two hours of research backed up by sources and citing in-post. I don't think there are many people interested in having to read a bunch of stuff for an RP before even starting - so yes, it's a niché, and you've limited it down even further by making it based on the Norsemen, who by all means and accounts aren't exactly popular here to begin with.

So yes, I'm expecting a low player count. But that shouldn't be a problem all things considered. :lol I'll see where this ends up, and if you feel like it's too hard to get a playerbase, you should consider at least downscaling the historical aspects. 'Barbarian horde plundering England' sounds perhaps more appealing to some than 'Vikingr from the Great Heathen Army of Sviðjod, Danmark and Noreger attack England to avenge their father who might or might not have existed, in order to ensure revenge is exacted, and then establishing the Danelaw'.
