Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeajea" data-source="post: 2559243" data-attributes="member: 37238">I find that, too. Surprisingly, I don't know many of the people (or, at least, the characters) around at the moment. All the people (or characters) I... that is, Jeajea knew, have left. Of course, this is only to be expected, but it does make things difficult... however, that's just as is. The actual thing I wanted to raise was this:Lots of people have too many characters, all of whome are under developed and (more importantly, maybe, certainly for them) underplayed. I don't mean that a lot of characters in itself is a bad thing. Just that some players choose to have thirty... fourty... eighty characters, each of which gets a few days before it's discarded, and then the next one arrives... and they feel left out and not included, when really they aren't giving people a chance to get to know any particular character. Why do this? Personally, I find that this site requires long-term character to facilitate any kind of depth of storyline or interactions, and even more so to get friends. Many of these players soon leave, understandably, because no one is forming ties with them. Also understandably.What's needed here, in my opinion, is guidance. I've tried, as best I can, to help people who look like they'd appreciate it, are new, and could be good players in the future. I've even helped a few of the top names (I won't name names) in some small way to become amongst the most... I don't want to be elitist... 'best', for want of a better way of putting it... roleplayers on the chatsite. I'm a little proud of that.I digress. What I'm trying to say is that new people need to be helped. Give appropriate, non-put-down advice. Take the right tone - you were, as was I, also new once. I remember the people who helped me greatly, most of whome have now left.That's my contraversial two pence. (That means it's three, then?)~Jea</blockquote>
