[h3]Purpose[/h3]

The purpose of this discussion is to talk about possible revision or deletion of the Persistent World section, which has been highly debatable for quite the while. Users unable to have a civil conversation will be reported to forum staff. If you are a user who cannot disagree with another user without without getting offended, angry, or upset, then you will be asked to leave.

[h3]Proposed Revision[/h3]

This is my proposed idea for it seeing as it is already a persistent world. It was mentioned to me that it wasn’t an “open world” really meaning that anyone or anything can participate in the idea, but it’s still persistent. There are many roleplaying games on this site that are multiversal and open to anyone using the “jump-in” option. The Persistent World can easily just be made into an open Multiverse for those kinds of games. Multiverses are self-regulating. Players can create: planets, kingdoms, factions, clans, nations, religions, and gods. There is little worry about there being an “overpowered” entity in the game seeing as every overpowered entity is often rivaled by another. These rivalries are what balance the game and create a natural “light vs dark” (not to literally imply good vs evil – subjective).

Multiverses are open genre meaning you can have sci-fi, fantasy, western, etc. in the universe. Multiverses also have no segregation when it comes to writing ability. Both the Free, Casual, and Advanced writers should be able to write in there without problem. The MV also provides a home for "main characters" characters that writers create and cannot find a RP or seem to be able to make a RP where they will fit.

Of course whether or not people will join any game, idea, or adopt any new feature presented by the Guild is always debatable. But it is a solution as opposed to completely deleting the forum and the work players have already put into it. There are also players who continue to write there and their feelings about it should matter and not be dismissed.
