What do you think? This is where we compile thoughts. And something Ivorak put up: http://sync.in/quN91n6iM0

Do share.

People should put more interest in RP, I suppose...

Added a few things to the list. Enjoy.

I think it lacks a little motivation for players to try and change ingame things.

How so?

back then things were happenin, nowdays majority of players are passive

Okay, then stop idling all day long and do something.

More people would help, but there's a lot more that matters:

The RPC era had its flaws, but at least people were actively seeking something. Spelldocs, role-related objects, new lands, the defeat of a powerful enemy, the aid of a friend...all these and more were goals "back in the day".
Now...:
[b]Festivals:[/b] Summer, War & Remembrance, Halloween

[b]Quests:[/b]
[b]Ongoing: [/b]Newbie intros, Maebius' mini-quests, Lost Path, Z's transposition, Lashtal's mirror quest..
[b]Seasonal:[/b] Halloween (Day of Fear, colorful skulls), community garden (writing, scarecrows, pumpkins)..
[b]Temporary:[/b] Fang's trivia, Androme's hide-and-seek, assorted expeditions through viscous areas

[b]Efforts[/b][b]: [/b]VISION group, community garden, newspaper...and some others rarely [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/12720-buying-materials/"]mentioned[/url] on the forum or even publicly ingame.

This may look like a lot, but it's not unified. In the time of the AL many people worked toward a few large but mostly achievable goals.

People [u]are[/u] doing some things. They could do more, sure, but the main issue is that they're mostly focused on their own spheres [size=1]cubes[/size] rather than any uniting factor.

I assume that in Wodin's day everyone wasn't constantly talking about Wodin and his quests. Plenty went on on the side..but there was an air of 'something important is going on in MD right now' about.

Maybe it was nothing like that, but from conversations, readings, and personal experiences (the Dominion Journey and some projects in the realm beyond) I get the feeling that most people were interested in the Big Thing going on at the time.

Things will come together to a smaller extent during Halloween, but lacking a strong unifier the collective spirit may very well dissipate as quickly as it gathered.

there ya go zyrxae explained it

i am still here cuz of bits of antiquity that tends to get washed to surface by tides of time
