I do not push the button.
The server is saved from exceedingly slow typing by all and people are allowed to come up with their own ideas and formulate opinions on what type of RP they like and what kind of RP they don't like.
People may not already agree, but it's all fine, because they've learned how to ignore the people they don't want to RP with and can handle doing so without calling them out in public spaces.
The world continues until the server is eventually abandoned for the next shiny new game.

Nothing visible happens because people are already RPing the way I want them to. They make friends and seek out opportunities. They post the occasional prompt or IC story/journal in IC boards. They discuss what they like and don't like about the game and its lore.
Arguments still happen because the server isn't a homogenized. But it shouldn't be. New RPers are welcomed to try out ideas, but are also encouraged to research what they want, due to inherent "difficulty level" of certain types of RP.
for the most part, there's peace. RPers generally get along and those that do not get along have a mutual understanding to not get themselves involved with each other.
A large amount of very different stories are told. Some of them are similar, but yet, still unique due to personal opinions. The stories allow many people with different interests to have fun, within their own definition of the word.
