    funny thing it hasn't shifted :P its been like this since Housing came out in ARR lol, just more of it now than there was simply because there are more people around, the game is on more platforms and other things, and its grown due to the fact combat has grown worse, and worse over the years, jobs became nothing but new color and animation being all that different, fighting became zombified where you basically shut brain off and autopilot through

    100% wrong. To say the culture hasn't shifted is just a flat out lie.

    Obviously there has always been ERP, but the playerbase as a whole has never been this clubbing/RP/ERP focused in HW.

    I've seen people say the pandemic is to blame, considering everybody had to stay indoors for the most part

    but there definitely has been a shift, and it seems to become increasingly more popular
    maybe popular isn't the right word, but you see more and more venues crop up

    There's always been RP events on PF since I returned in HW but it's been just pages of night clubs and venues since 2020 and hasn't stopped even now.

    Also, I used to check PF to help sprouts clear the less popular raid series like Coil or Alexander, V&C, and DD if I was that bored.

    didnt say 100% of people did it, i just said its always been here and ya there was more to do back then and jobs were better designed and felt unique which helped alot, but in the dead times dead periods while waiting for the next thing after people hit max on everything alot of people did even back then.

    Tbh I think its a good thing that the ERP and 18+ scene grew its time we FIGHT these stupid parents shoving their kids in every little space that exist and forcing family friendly bs I hope it keeps growing nonstop. even though i dont erp i more horror/gore rp but still I'm happy the erp group is growing more and more to fight these parents bs away if only people were doing this IRL.


    Maybe if it doubles or triples I can get exactly what I've been wanting for a long time as a by-product of them forcing the kids out of the game and making it purely 18+
