Well if you want new players to join, you need some catch up mechanic so they feel like they can do something. If you have no fresh blood, it'll just be you guys posting and thats it, no new person to add a new spin on things or new ideas or new character interactions with their own take on things, just you guys over and over and over. If your OK with that then you might as well set the RP to closed because thats what it basically is.

and how do they catch up? by rping which is the damn basic way of rping. that is the catch up mechanic. what you're saying is to include some extra rule that lets new players get extra points or so while old players don't which would mean their hard work would be pointless since a new person could just come in and pass them in far less time when instead the rpers could work together to help each other grow stronger at their own pace. YOu're worried more on who's stronger and weaker and not what this rp is about and just having fun interacting, working together and growing relationships and so forth.

If you're gonna make a new char you're gonna have to accept that it'll start at the beginning if you can't deal with that then again this rp is not for you.
