If something big happens amongst one group - and by big, I mean something that by all accounts should have resulted in some kind of general gossip across a town or whatever, even if it's just "Hey, did you hear those strange noises? It sounded like explosions. The hell happened?" That's why I post 99% of the roleplay I do onto the forum, because you never know what might be a potential hook for another player, or even if someone just wants to pull on an event casually to keep the world they roleplay in feeling real.This is why, a while ago, I proposed for some sort of a chronicle to be written in the forum, so that every player could be a part (either directly or indirectly) of a big, common plot. Sadly, it seems many people enjoy playing their own thing without others, so such an idea can't work in a big community like this one.
In this sense, I miss my Aion RP server. It was a private server with around 20 people connected in each side of the world. Everything that happened affected everyone. All the news were posted in the forum in case anyone missed them, and there we had some epic plots like whole regions being conquered by the enemy. I guess it's impossible to have that in an official game full of people, so perhaps that's why people prefer to create those plots in their personal linkshells.
