Hey love the site but i really do not understand the role playing thing you guys and gals do. Gain a higher rank by posting? Not really a skillful process just only benefits the people who dont have a lot more to do then act post in a forum.

In this thread you can find the most important links to understand our RP system.
There's a reason as why we have a system based on postcount. The system we had before this was based on skill. To advance in rank you had to prove your worth and do some kind of tests. Only if you passed them you could proceed. If you didn't pass them you were stuck and a lot of people got stuck.
In the end RP was completely dead, there was one battle per 2 weeks or so. With that system you create a bottleneck and that bottleneck was completely clogged. You coudn't get through it and people just stopped RPing. So we decided to implement another system based on people's postcount. The RP exploded and it has never been more active, there are a dozen battles fought each day.
I don't think I need to make a drawing of which system is obviously the best in terms of having a large amount of people who have fun and are active in it.
