Not this again.

If this is being said again then it only shows that more than just I have noticed this bug in the system. I know you perhaps wish to dream big but one must start out small and build upon it over time. Let me tell you the story of HVM. It was an rp forum that lasted for nine years on gaia before it finally caved in. The reason was because it had gotten too big for itself. Newer players were intimidated by it’s size and so failed to join. O we had over 500 some players join and rp with frivolous delight. But as everyone grew up fewer stories were unfolding because new idea’s from new players were lacking to keep things fresh. So everything went belly up because of it’s size. It was a sad day a nine year rule came to an end.
In this forum’s case your size is a bad thing especially if you are just starting. You have about 87 different forums, now try and divide that by 142 players in the guild. Each player will make their own character that means it will come with it’s own story line. Now how is there story going to work if nobody even knows that it is there? One player will be in one forum the other the next. They will never interact with one another because humans are by nature lazy things. In short they won’t go fishing for someone in another part of the guild because they assume that they will be in their own plot in another land.
Thus they float around in their own world waiting for someone to show in the forum that they are in. But again there are too many forums thus odds are not good in the hopes of someone dropping in. Do you see my point now? I speak from experience because I was once a high ranked officer in the HVM rp. The guild system is a flawed one most don’t make it more than a year because of this division problem. You offer too many choices at once that allows people to not have the mind set to share and work together in the same forum.
