[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 701711, member: 799"] Well in my game, right from the start when I was recruiting and char building (which in all took about 5 hours hehe) I demanded commitment from my players for a LONG time and I warned for that in the recruitement that it might take more then two years to finish it. But I liked the idea of an intense game where players and GM get along and devellop a nice epic story line. Something I might turn into a book or script. And now were busy for months on end and everyone is still enthusiastic and posting rates are awsome. The rping my players are doing is like ... amazing. Really and they take alot of initiative and post each day. Mostly even more then once, and that keeps me as GM enthusiastic and one of my players even put up a site for the game with notes and character sheets and stuff. I was so impressed and I still feel very flattered and honored to have such players. I see games die or not get off the floor all the time and I attempted one and its going like this. I feel awsome. But I agree that commitment from players should be demanded for alot of games. The same goes for the GM is he is williung to put in the time and willing to commit to the long run. I know I am for my game and I gave it alot of thought since it would demand alot of time from me and most certainly just a bit at least once a day. I believe that if you have a good game/plot and action and a committed GM that updates alot a game can last almost forever. Most imporant is that I see in my game that we start to know eachother for who we are and what plays in our real lives. Were turning into friends and that's a bond that'll make this game a classic. (unless someones internet dies out permanently grrrrr) Sadly enough we had one player who just stopped posting and whom we never heard from again. We were reluctant to let go of him at first but we voted... all in favor and we searched for a replacement. And he is very committed, active and his RPing is impressive. He took on the daring job to continue with someone elses character... But that character hardly was a character at all and now it really is someone and you get to know him and hes got a real thing going on. A real him so that you can guess how he's gonna react as a person and not as a metagaming player. All in all... it starts with the GM if a game survives or not.
