Can someone explain this argument to me? (I picked this quote randomly, the whole "we need new people"-thing has been brought up by several people)
As a non-RPer I just dont understand this - I always thought you'd find your RP-group and play with those people. Maybe have a second group with an alt or something, but basically: Continue to tell the story of your character, interacting with teh characters of your friends? So why do you need new people all the time? Are you going through "friends" so quickly?
I'm asking this because I've been playing this game with more or less the same people for years now - once in a while someone new joins our ranks (usual its not a person new to the game though, just new to the group - I'm sure I havent met all 15k people on Odin), while another person leaves but the core-group always stays the same.
I always assumed its the same for RPers?
Are you just getting bored by people a lot faster than I do?

(...please tell me its not really the ERP-thing...)
