RP is dead. This is a refrain that has been going on since before the original Naxx dropped all those years ago, and it was a ridiculous refrain even then. Just because you cannot find the RP doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. To be fair, sometimes it may seem that there is a dearth of [...]

Thursday, we started a discussion on filling the Content Lull. Epic Story lines appear to be a great idea for a lull; however, unless you have brilliant timing and superb organizational skills, Epic Story can turn into Epic Fail.

Hey there Fellow RPer! Let’s be honest with each other for a minute. When we create, tell or participate in a storyline, we are creating our own content in Blizzard’s setting.
