I don't think Discord negatively impacts RP's. We still have RP's that fizzle out and that existed before Discord. It's easy to blame, but I honestly think realtime chat capability improves the community.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other. However, I will say that back in the old Guild discord, which was pretty much the same as this guild discord, I made the joke that I hung out there when I should have been posting, and people unironically agreed and said they did the same. But now that it's questioned, the same people are saying 'hell no.'

Like I said, Idk in all honesty. But I'm just reiterating what I have heard/seen.

@POOHEAD189 these are the same people that if it wasn't for discord, would've found something else to be distracted by.

Different main RP formats.

RPG is slower paced, has more easily organizable tabs to do things in, offers a decent interface for formatting, and optimal for long posts.

Discord, for 'snapshot' line by line roleplaying, is by far superior. Real-time, simple enough to use, even lets ya create actual accounts to represent characters in a server you can create and organized as you see fit.

They have different purposes, the way I look at it. Ultimately, RPG's format agrees with me far better. They have strengths and weaknesses; I don't believe one kills the other.
