It lasts for a month or two until someone stops paying the bills and then there goes all the content. However, that's also user choice. Back when Mateus was doing its initial outreach, there was a lot of posting. And I personally stressed to some of the people working on outreach to urge users to post here.

"RPC is too Balmung-focussed" you day? Well....? How is not posting gonna change that?

I know that each server is big on having their individual identity and nobody wants to be seen as "Balmung leftovers" or some other ridiculous label. And I can certainly see the appeal for in wanting a personal hub to store just things for that server. But time and time again, I also see the same exact issues that RPC went through. The same "budding RP population /community" issues.

I've also heard that people find it tough to navigate RPC. But is this simply due to the layout or from an aversion to forums? Something tells me it's more the latter. RPC previously did have different boards for some sections to split between Balmung and Gilgamesh back in the day. We could always go back to a similar style for Mateus and Omega where events and directories are servee-specific. (Or if people can hold out just a little more, we'll have a functional tag and prefixes system in the updates site!)

Yeah, the desire for SHINY AND NEW is strong with pretty much everyone. I get that, I do (and my years of experience with spite LARPs agrees strongly), but man... lol... advertising ripe for the pickin's? Put up a sign that says "USE ME!" xD

I have made general RPC noises at various people at various times and I get two responses (since I ask people already on Balmung, the "too Balmung focused" doesn't come up): Site is "clunky" and "teh dramaz".

I will readily admit I'm a bit *cough* older than the average Balmung resident, so forums are just another spot of social media to me rather than a relic (I also heavily use Tumblr and Discord ofc) and each have their uses that don't overlap. <--- key part

If folks want a stable, go-to site to post things that are easy to find and durable, the RPC is it.

A friend of mine made noise about a WoW site that had more features available, but I've never been a WoW player, so I can't bring a compare and contrast to the table. Maybe others know of sites and can list up some stuff.

The second issue, the drama... look, I've been here about two years and I've never seen any nasty drama. If the issue is from over two years ago, gottamm, let that shit go. Of course folks here have Strong Opinions tm about stuff, but hell, we're all passionate about the game and how we play it. It's good we care so much, I think, and we can just agree to disagree if warranted.

I see the RPC as a good tool to be used and hope others realize it too.
