Tbh I'm fine with moving at a slower place, as long as people are still committed to continuing.

I recognise that some people may feel more inclined to jump ship if an RP seems to be slowing, but personally I see this as necessary for getting long term players. We often need to balance busy RL lives alongside what we do here, and setting a pace which avoids burn outs or people feeling snowed under by the sheer about of posts being generated is key to doing this.

I've been in RPs that have lasted for around 5 years, and generally these have had more relaxed schedule than most. But there does need to be a middle ground, between holding attention, and avoiding overload. Where this golden mean lies differs on an individual level. For me, its probably posting around once a week.
