The thing is, the reason this RP is dead is because there isn't a driving force behind it. In fact, it technically isn't an RPG, just a text based game. People are 'sent on assignments' and they write that. But that's boring, because there isn't any interaction with other characters, no actual story. Just....stuff.
There's another RP I played, similarly based on a fictional, and very filled universe yet in a fan made one, and it's an adventure like no other playing it. Another guy here, Axilus Prime, will tell your the same thing. What makes it amazing, apart from the great writers there, is the ability to interact in a fully sandbox game - you can do things, and you can set up your own plots, your own story arcs, for other players to join, while you have other characters to join them. All the while, the main game arc set up by the game staff runs, and you can feel free to have an impact on that one.
THAT's what makes a text based RPG amazing. You don't have anything like a video game RPG, whether there are other players on it or not, where you can create amazing gameplay. A Text Based RPG is amazing because there is no such thing as 'gameplay'. There is just choices, and there is how good you can write.
If you want, we can make one. PM me! I would love to create a fully functioning TBRPG here, where the community has a bit more of a talent for common sense....
And also because this community is accessible. It'll be easy, it'll be fun!
