PoW is fuckhuge indeed.  I'd attribute that to the dedicated core playerbase though, vilage, aaron, googer, hugs, and so on so forth.  Were I able to keep up with it I'd probably still be in PoW (not that I haven't tried...).


Also this list is pretty flawed, I think RP's should be judged by IC alone as OOC can be watered down by chatzies and such fairly easily.  Needless to say it's not a good indicator of length.

By IC the top ten would be...

1. Void of the Stars: A sci-Fi Nation Roleplay
2. Void of the Stars II
3. From Stardust, To Stardust
[b]4. World in Revolution: 1861[/b]
5. Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat [b](RPG ONLY)[/b]
6. Civilization Roleplay: Rise of Races (The Tribes of Nova Mondial Want You!)
7. The Elder Scrolls: Rising Storm
8. The Darkness Descends (Fantasy Conquest RP)
9. Colonial Powers NRP (Reboot/New Thread)
10. Untold Empires: Legacy of the Old

Fixed that for you (WiR 1861 had 400 IC posts).

I remember there was actually a period where everyone kept making "World in Revolution" RP's and it was the same core group of guys. They're all gone now.

Yet PoW chugs on like a locomotive run on turf.

I wouldn't say that we're all gone.  Many, but not all.  And I am sure that you could find a game running on the Paradox forums.  As Byrd Man said, it was kind of more of a "game" than a "story".  I think the real problem with the game was that it requires a lot of work from the GM (stats, research, answering thousands of PMs, etc).  That 1861 game (which Byrd and I were a part of) was like lightning in a bottle.  This version worked, while all the subsequent ones did not.
