A long time ago, when I was first introduced to FFRPing, it was a busy and bustling community of creativity and originality. Message boards were filled to the brim and even spilling over with gorgeous posts and wonderful stories about anything and everything. As time wore on, even the most active of FFRPing communities withered and slowed to a crawl...
And so did I. Recently, I've come back to one of my favorite activities only to realize that the world of RPing I watched slow was moving even slower. I could not find an active FFRP board anywhere. All the RPs I found were thriving on chatrooms or IRC channels or the like.
After a while of this, I decided to set up my own board, and gather as many RPers as I could to respark that flame that I had once known. I hope to bring both new and veteran RPers from all walks of life and all corners of the globe to one place where we can branch out from. I've learned much from other RPs, past and present, and hope that my knowledge and the knowledge and creativity of others can help make this idea a reality.
When I set up this board, I was heavily influenced by what I had seen as successful message boards or chats. Below is a list of the boards and other RP forums that have influenced this one.
First and foremost,
FyreMyst.
In no particular order,
Desolation, Terra Haute, Last Hope Heights, Nosgothic Realms, Gryffehold on Furcadia, The Shadow Hall on the Farstriders server of WoW, The House of Balewind on the Farstriders server of WoW, Traful City on Furcadia, Threshold, The Green Dragon Inn
All of my friends that I've ever RPed with via notebook.
The governmental system of the Etheric Lands reflects the philosophy of gathering many people in one place. All major decisions about the board itself, the rules, the RPs, and the players are open to being questioned and challenged by any member who wishes to civilly voice an opinion to a Moderator or Administrator, and are encouraged to do so. We strive to keep this truly a community.
