Information ZRP3 - Announcement & General Information

Guess I'm missing something because I don't really see the potential enjoyability in a Zombie RP server without zombies. Then again, people hop on GTA to RP as a cop after their shift of being a cop is over IRL, so maybe it just isn't for me. I think it would be much more interesting to have the "city" roleplay be taking place in some sort of stronghold actually after the outbreak, where there's actual choices to be made.

The idea isn’t that there isn’t any zombies, but rather shifting the window of the server’s focus around a prolonged and worsening outbreak that climaxes in the total collapse of society.

Previous ZRPs had done more of an emphasis on post-collapse, have been excessively event-centric and were difficult to keep going for a long time, whereas the momentary liminal period between real life and the apocalypse was the high point for many people who played said previous ZRPs.

Clarifying since I've seen this said elsewhere, when I say that we'll be focusing on the RLRP part I don't mean to say that there won't be any zombies at all or that you'll just be hopping on to RP a 9-5. There will be plenty going on with the outbreak as things progress, I just don't intend to have the server become apocalyptic two or three weeks in and having it generally be reduced to survivor RP. From experience it's been the worst parts of ZRP and it tends to be abrupt and unsatisfactory after all is said and done.

I know certain aspects of any kind of ZRP are more interesting than others but I do genuinely think people will find this enjoyable if they give it a chance, at least if any kind of RLRP with elements of mystery and encroaching dread are somewhat appealing to them. I like starting from this RLRP base because it greatly enhances the kind of characters and backgrounds people can draw from.
 
/me would check Twitter and begin to Doomscroll. I would see an outbreak of some strange virus making its way across the world. "Oh boy," I would say and laugh to myself while crossing the street.
 
So what I am gathering is I need to re-read 'World War Z' and focus on the parts leading up to the Great Panic and that'll get me pretty prepped for ZRP 3? Based.
 
I've said this a thousand times before but the first week or two of TnB's first ZRP server was by far the best RP and atmosphere building I've ever seen the community do, and the fact this server is going to be focussing effectively on making that sort of thing into the core experience is really cool.

I don't know what it is about ZRP but people find it really easy to immerse themselves and put aside any meta knowledge they have.

Can def agree on this, ZRP 1's first week of roleplay was the best roleplay ive ever had, and it really is a shame that it didnt transfer to the weeks after.
