I personally do not mind this at all. I am inclined to agree that perhaps starting an RP hub thread will not help everyone, but thus far, we've met a few people through it and I'm certain we will meet more. The Grindstone, however, aims to fill a niche for RPers who enjoy combat and characters seeking to slake their thirst for physical exertion. Not all LSs have such a simple background; many are far more in depth with story-arcs and plots and such.
I advocate a tavern. Is there any way to start an LS of individuals who are willing to take the time to run this or do you intend to run it with volunteers without any group channel?
Back in SWTOR, I was involved with a group that ICly ran 'half' of the Slipper Slopes Cantina. They were given a lot of grief for this by people who have personal vendettas against the proprietor. However, what -we- did was, whenever one of us logged on and had free time, we would act as a single bar tender in the Cantina, offering news that we'd picked up and pointing people in whatever direction they needed. We very much played the NPC role-- Perhaps if you had enough volunteers you could do that -in conjunction with- the one night a week. There will doubtlessly be new people arriving every day or so and I'm certain there are plenty of us with enough spare time to lounge around there -if- there's enough of a response.
Just a suggestion.
