A Call To Arms Answered, Or, "Why Should I Return?"
-
Some of you might remember me! I used to play actively back in the ""good old days"", although I was myself neither a good roleplayer nor very old so I hope those of you that remember me don't remember very much. Then Change Happened, and happened in perpetuity, and I felt that something was lost*. I tried to get into it again quite a few times afterward, under alt-accounts mostly, but the magic spark never returned.
Recently though, I've been getting that hankering for a meaningful roleplay experience, the sort of itch that only Arabel was ever able to scratch. So with those "player numbers" and "player recruitment" threads in mind, I pose a genuine question: Should I return? What's changed since the days of yore? What's stayed the same? Is "Adventure & Intrigue" still the watchword by which all things live and die, or have people finally chilled out a bit?
On the flip side, if there's a reason I shouldn't return, please let me know- perhaps via PM. If DMs have been muttering things like "Damn that SyrusRayne, I wish they didn't quit so I could kill them myself! Argh!" I'd like to know.
*(Possibly all my friends quitting the server or getting recruited DM-side played a part. Never quite understood why the real movers and shakers player-side wound up behind the DM screen, given that that means there were less players, y'know, moving and shaking. Does that still happen?)

Yes, you should play. There are many new faces, the DM team has almost been entirely recast, with a few familiar faces and old heads in both camps. Arabel is back under a Cormyrian flag, there's a few overarching meta plots to get involved in, the opportunity to play a key role has never been greater, or, if you're happy just playing a character immersed in a living, breathing game world, questing or interacting with passer-bys, then this latest chapter of Arabel has a fully realised platform for you to get involved in.

It's a good time to return. Plenty of plots to get involved in, Opportunity to join player run Noble Houses, A more relaxed atmosphere so you can just chill and RP if you want

Is there an up-to-date portrait pack available? Anyone feeling generous enough to .zip their folder? :P

The only reason I can give is,I am still here
Shoot me a tell if you have time and see me, I can drop what I am doing and relish the chance to RP with you again
Normally I am doing not much now anyways since so many people seem to have important stuff that.needs to be dealt with in private

Lavishfeast said on another threat: "With that said, I can’t believe I’m the only ex-player lurking on the forums and game looking for a reason to log in. Tapping into a way to incentivise those players to make the leap and play is the key to revitalising the player base I think. And more players breed more players."
You are not the only previous player lurking. I'm fishing around for something to do now that I am back in academia for a year. I'm still absorbing the climate, rules, changes,etc. I still haven't played Skyrim or Dragon Age 3, or Witcher 2 or 3.
Good to see some of you all still breathing. I'm old now and that's important.
Wow, look at that, I just saw my post and I passed the decade mark a few days ago. huzzah.
