[quote=@Stormflyx] A lot of it is just finding a group who are mature enough to be honest about their intention really. I'm sorry you've had some bad experiences. I always try to be honest about the level of commitment I can bring to a roleplay at the start. I actually prefer advanced, because while it does often move slower it matches a pace I can follow. I prefer posting maybe one long post every 10 days and really getting to enjoy the story and keep it alive at a slow momentum, than start at a pace which is just impossible to keep up with. Ask Ink said though, this is really just part of the hobby. It's awesome when you find a good solid group! [/quote] The truth, really. The majority of RPs I've joined in have died in a blazing fire, while only a select few are still going strong. The AoT RP I'm in is going strong with 276 IC posts over the course of five months. We even have a discord server, and join RPs that someone else in our group made. Sure, we've had a few run-ins with group arguments and some people needing to go on hiatus that almost led to a RP death, but we're still around and kicking. It might have to do with the fact that we're all [s]weebs[/s] anime watchers, but I scored lucky with them. They even helped me break my ties with a RP group I had been with since late 2012. Anxious me didn't want to leave because of how long I had been with them, but it feels amazing without being around all the harassment and spite that was sent my way.
