RP World Re-arrangement

Hi all,

 

As you may have noticed there's a bit of re-arrangement going on in RP World. After dealing with some repeated issues with MLPF's roleplaying section, and with the entire PonyRolePlay forum being put on the shelf indefinitely due to lack of developers able to devote time to building the site functionality, we're going through an effort to clean up the Roleplay World section here in MLPF as much as we can. If we ever get a developer who can spend time on building out the various RP features on PonyRolePlay, we will resurrect that project, but in the mean time we'll do what we can here.

 

We've been planning on this clean-up effort for awhile now, but various stuff was repeatedly and insistently thrown into the way. It's taken awhile to dig ourselves out enough to put at least some of the ideas into play.

 

One issue was confusion between the purposes of Everfree Empire and Equestrian Empire when new RPers come to the forums. For one thing, the names were too similar, so Everfree Empire is now just Everfree. And the Equestrian Empire forums are all bundled together with a description to make it clearer as to what the point of that subsection was for.

 

Next was the piles of supplemental lore for the Equestrian Empire that had been written, re-written, and yet again re-written by our Lore Team, and was going to be released with the new site. That's now been published here using some odd functionality for MLPF that I ran across that allows for 'articles' using the same interface as Blogs. I'm not 100% convinced as it's not particularly pretty, but we'll see what we can do with it.

 

And finally a suggestion forum specifically for RP, which is what you're looking at now. :) We still don't have development resources, but we'll do what we can for any suggestions you, the Roleplayers, have for making this section more reasonable and usable.

 

There are other things that we're working on, but they're a bit more wibbly-wobbly at the moment or require a lot of work to carry out. I hope we we can get this all working better for everyone. :)
