does anybody remember gw arena? it was this planned mainsite RPG SYSTEM in which you gained experience points for every post you made and then you battled other members, I guess, and you could also buy equipment and probably customize your dude and stuff. my memory of the details is a bit foggy but of course it never actually came to fruition. anyway let's make it happen, f your plans dada we makin gw arena
that seems a nice addition but I was always intimidated joining new forums with this rpg built in since it's harder to get 'in to' the community. Of course you could ignore it all together but still i'm not sure if we'll get new members like that.
It would be great if it's weekly though, like the characters reeset every week and the posts you do on that week will then be used for level up and stats etc.. and the champion iat the end fo the week would receive a point or something.
