RP System in 2.0 -Teaser-

[The Dark Wizard]

In the new update, this is what the RP system is slowly shaping up to be. As the site has grown we've noticed that the tab system that only gives you a limited number of linked together threads has slowly become restrictive and overstayed its welcome. The goal here is for RPs in the new update to come to life and have their own space here on RpNation.

When making an RP, instead of getting a thread, you'll get an entire space for your self that automatically comes with two forums (yes forums) which you can rename and alter to your whims. Built in comment system also leads to better and more fluid OOC discussions as you can see in the above picture.


Other Features:

• Add 3 more forums for a total of 5. (can always ask for more once you have a clear need for them).
  
• Role System (create custom permissions and ranks for your players to determine which areas they can see and other stuff). This leads to private areas that the owner can spin up for say other others.
  
• Add more owners (Co GM/DM/Creator, go nuts)
  
• Upload logo.
  
• Member/Invitation System (can control who can join/post in your RP, if its open to all, invite only and more)
  

I hope you enjoy this small teaser of whats to come.

  @The Dark Wizard Just curious about how this new forum system will interact with mobile devices, not the app, but direct-to-mobile browser service? Is it still going to be compatible or are we pretty much being forced to use the app if we want portable RpN? I'm totally willing to grab the app when it comes out, but some part of me still thinks I'll be on my mobile browser just as much.

@The Dark Wizard[/URL] So what happens with rps already existing, or that have been going for quite a long time? Will they just transfer into the new system automatically, or will they just stay as they are...?

[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Once the update rolls out, New RPs will only be able to be made using this new system. Existing RPs will slowly be moved over as we reach out to users and users reach out to us, its a manual process.

[/QUOTE]

I didn't mean that kind of free. Right now, a Hosted Project is hard to get. What will it be like with this new system?

[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Anyone can make them !

Its just like making a thread in the existing system, except that the site gives you your own space, not a thread !

[/QUOTE]

This sounds great, but wouldn't it eventually take forever to scroll through RpN? Wouldn't it be hard to find things? And what would it be like if people spammed boards? How are you gonna prevent that?

[QUOTE="Elle Joyner]I'm assuming the forums are going to show up the same way threads do? But when you click on them, instead of being tabs (like the old RPs), they'll be forum-like? That's just my assumption though.

[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]I entered the RP genre from the forum index and all the RPs look like threads from the outside and they move up and down based on activity like threads do as well.

[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Its not any different then the thread list

[/QUOTE]

Although I'm still waiting/wondering what happened to the RpN App.

[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]That has been commpleted, though its limited by how fast I can save up my own money for a macbook so I can do app submissions to the store.

Dang, I'm hype, especially for the co-creator/GM status! Just wondering though, will we be able to allow these people to have limited access to parts of the RP, like editing character sheets and such?


Also, just the sound of "2.0" makes me so excited.

 

[Reine]

That looks awesome.


10/10

 

[MISTER UN. 0W3N]

Epic.

 

[Salt Lord]

It looks much cleaner! I was iffy about it before (because of the whole bbcode thing) but now I'm definitely hyped!

 

[Blomst]

Nice!

My concern is How is this going to affect any current RP threads? If they are still ongoing when this changes

 

[KAmber]

(dat was a dope cat)

 

[Sugary_Paragraphs]

...


It's coming.

 

[DemonKitten]

Needs immediately! I am so excited with these possibilities at my finger tips and the creativity that many will now have in creating roleplays. This will do well for my roleplay I have been holding off along with a few more aspects I am looking forward to. This is what dreams are made of.

 

[Sandertp]

I'm slightly worried that this new system will become quite intimidating for newer users and RP'ers

 

[VonRidel]

Looks cool as hell! Can't wait for it to be implemented!

 

[logastellus]

Almost like Discord with the whole managing roles thing :3


I like it

 

[Wake-N-Bake]

That's awesome.

 

[Birdsie]

PRAY TO THE LORD.


PRAISE DARK WIZARD, THE GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND!

 

[Donder172]

Looks promising.

 

[Reinhardt]

So with this update in plan, what will happen to Hosted Projects? Since this pretty much seems to give normal RPs the HP treatment, without the requirements. @The Dark Wizard

 

[Reine]

I'm scared that one day I'm going to come on here and have absolutely no idea what to do, so I'll just rage quit.

 

[MISTER UN. 0W3N]

Actually, yeah... does this mean HPs are on the way out now?

 

[The Dark Wizard]

I'm slightly worried that this new system will become quite intimidating for newer users and RP'ers

Its as simple as filling out the name of your RP and then it auto spins up with two forums you see in the screenshot, you can add more later your self or alter it as you see fit. Its as complicated as the existing tab system. You make the thing and the site does the rest for you.
