Suggestions from a Dying Breed of Roleplayer

[Sir Prize]

What I think this server would benefit from is a character creation forum.
Because what I think is making most people not want to roleplay is that it's too much work.
But if you already have a template set up for you, you just have to create your character, and anyone roleplaying with you will know who you are and how to make the most of the experience.
It will also hopefully encourage people to create their own characters, and by doing so, try roleplaying with the other members of the server.

However, I find that roleplaying events is what is needed most. Most people are far far away from where all the other people are, and as such would not want to walk 20 minutes, in Minecraft, which is the most tedious thing to do ever, just to roleplay for 20 minutes and then get interrupted because you already wasted all the time you had.
They would also have something to look forward to, something to make their roleplaying addiction bubble up to the surface.
