[quote=@Ezekiel] Speaking as someone who was largely on the outskirts of these games for a number of years the 'oh I am not actually playing that character but I'd rather they not be played or also they have to be played x way' is also pretty exhausting and off putting as a new arrival. I think if we want to do a push for more players we should probably extend the leniency of not forcing people to stick to previous purged characters to also existing players being more flexible with the idea of people playing characters we may have mentioned or used as NPCs in ways we didnt anticipate. Which isn't to say throw any and all restrictions based on what has already happened out the window, more just me bringing up an issue I know plenty of people have avoided these games over in the past. Alternatively we don't reinvent the wheel and just keep chugging along as is because while we may have lost some people we still have a bunch of very active folks. PS: Keen eyes may note I didn't get my posts up. Had to deal with something quite serious IRL but I will endeavour to fix this ASAP. [/quote] True. I just mean basic facts should be maintained if they've appeared IC but the moment someone takes them on that takes presidence.
