I honestly think the next step in roleplaying in general is massive world building and/or RPG system creations.
There will always be a lot of reading involved, but it each game is also designed to be unique and original from one another and exclusive. The roleplaying process (making the RP) has to evolve on Gaia Online in order for it to survive these tough times.
Ah! I'm in a role play outside of Gaia (fantasy, vampires, magic, school - everything "cliche", but it was set up well by a couple of great players) and I thought "hey, let's actually set straight the folklore", since we've got so many mythical creatures. The going was already slow, but I posted a topic to discuss details about how mythical creatures would be in our world... One person replied and a year later we're still sitting and waiting for everyone else (2 people
sweatdrop ) to agree to it.
You've got some great insight - if only the world had been better developed, the mythos had been incorporated
before we began and had four different types of vampires
gonk ... I honestly think it might be going better now... (Though I still would have verbally b****-slapped the Admin's character with my character, and I think that's part of the reason she hasn't been on
ninja Grr I hate it when people take in-character conflict personal!!)
