Hello all, as you all know, a new year is fast approaching, and as such some of you may know that The Secret World game is launching in April, and Open beta begins by December.
So I thought i'd give a general State of the Cabal and where we're at, where we plan to go, and how we plan to expand.
The Cabal
The Underground originally was conceived as simply a hub for like minded Roleplayers to gather and make friends and RP. It was, and is a hub for ALL Roleplayers, hence why it's a club. This DOES NOT mean there will not be a Underground Cabal. I've spoken with Laylei about this very issue, and we decided there will be a Underground Cabal, and we will still keep the Hub as well.
The Site
I know, things are slow. Things are really slow. But things are also slow in general for the Secret World due to Funcom not giving any info out anymore and it basically being left up to the players. Even the official site is as slow as possible. Factor in the holidays and some people feeling dejected, it can make it feel like nothing is going on. Well that's not the case. There is Roleplay going on, and ANYone can begin a thread or join a new one. The site is not dead, but it could use more people posting more often for sure. I will be posting more, and I will also be enforcing Laylei's rule of dead threads. Any thread not posted in after five days, will be closed or put on hold if I cannot get in contact with the thread starter. We have to keep the forum up to date and moving. Slowness will happen, it happens all the time, but its up to us all to make sure things don't slow to a halt.
Period.
I will also be culling some dead threads and posting a check in place for people to post to, so i at least know who's here.
I also wish to give a special shout out to Giorgia, she posts regularly and each post is of quality. So thank you.
Laylei and Kima
First, we both are glad to have such good Rpers here, and I know she'd not mind me saying that for her. But some of you may be wondering why you don't see Laylei around as much. Well she has not quit, or run off or anything of the sort, hell she paid for this site so I know she didnt abandon it. She will be back, she, like all of us, simply have a busy schedule with all she has going on. It's why she has me, Co-leader. I know I am not on as much but that will change, and I will give all of you my best to ensure this remains a place you want to RP or just hang out.
The Future
We will be forming up in game in April, and will continue to expand our membership and grow. We plan to have events coming up before Christmas and even live role playing events again. We also plan to have more of a presence on the official forums, fostering roleplay there and bringing more people to our site. The Underground has been around for almost three years, and it's not going anywhere, anytime soon.
I want you ALL to know you're appreciated, from the long time vets of the Underground like Hecate and Fae, to the newcomers like Giorgia. You make the Underground what it is, a place where AMAZING Roleplayers gather.
Thank you,
Kima.
