Yall please don't kill roleplaying!

I'm concerned about a problem called roleplaying. The Hive made this thread to get people more intrested in roleplaying. Everyday hundreds of people around the world get on battle net and host rps (me one of them). Roleplaying is dieing everyone has known that for awhile they blam it on Halo 3, WoW, DOTA(kinda sucks anyway). Sure they are sweet games and im not saying *DO NOT PLAY THEM* but if you play them don't forget about the game you loved when they were just a *OHH SWEET ITS COMING OUT*. You guys are killing roleplaying they arn't you are.

Me too. We must find a solution how to get rid of it. Stop roleplaying today, buy halo3 for example.

Rofl @ mini-me :)

Hope it was sarcastic tho ^^

:( keep on topic please

Roleplaying is actually growing between the two most popular East RP clans;

Clan OotR
Clan RPR

Also, there are many new RPs springing up

(Path of Ashes; a futuristic RP made by Childering [ Cham[p]ion ]
(LoDRP; an RP made by IronHand, Freedumb, and Cham[p]ion
(URP; an RP made by DaFranker, skyeline, and Ressah

A futuristic RP on warcraft? That would be a first.

hmm ragingspeedhorn sad sad sad :(.

and URP? i don't think i have heard of that one tell me more.

Personally, I love RPs, Its a dying race...I was around when the first RP came out, Advanced RP made by Miyog, goooooood times...Ill support the cause! Only because my Retar'dorei love RPs. And Lord Retardael gave his life to fight for the sake of RPs.

People roleplay in maps? This is a concept I don't understand well

Course, I roleplay on forums, and WoW, all the time, and always presumed this section was for that. Maps have... A lot of limitations

I would appreciate that certain opinions are kept from this forum.
I do not understand what's so wrong with Warcraft III roleplaying, but I do understand why it's not growing (if not dying, just to say I'm not being pessimist), which is, between other reasons, because nobody is willing to do anything to save it.
And I don't necessarily mean locking themselves on private RPs, but rather creating masses of forums, which take the RP Communities to split up. I admit I have short memory, but I could still quote some comments about the Hive if you give me 1 minute.
As for private RPs, I understand the concept of roleplaying a theme... now, going on a private RP with no theme kinda bugs me... but whatever.
The main problem is that people for some reason fear/dislike forums. I don't spot any large difference.

Well, sometimes, it's hard to partake in both a slow, browser-based community, and a busy game-based community.

Maps have... A lot of limitations

It has its pros and it has its cons. It combines elements of RPG-based RPs and Forum-based RPs.

I (was) the shaman of RPR . See the chief had computer problems so I kept it alive by recruiting members all summer and hosting private rps.

Btw, Urp has been in the making for 2 years (I believe). I know the old terrainer Ressah but hes been busy and now we have a new one. I have the latest version I think and its going well. It has the biggest terrain so far out of all the rp maps on wc3.
Hrm RPR had 93 members but we cleaned up and now have 60 something that are all active.

Sure rp maps have limitations but still the possibluilities for a rp is so vast and the maps take it into the stage where you can see it instead of having to imagene what it is all the time.
