1st Anniversary!

One Year of the New RPL


It’s been a year since the new Roleplay Lives went live.

Which sounds like an anniversary, except RPL itself is twelve years old. The redesign just happens to be the newest chapter. And what a chapter it’s been.

A year ago, we took twelve years of accumulated stories, characters, friendships, features, weird little site quirks, and probably far too much data and moved it into a completely rebuilt version of the site.

Since then, we’ve been learning what happens when you give all that history a new home. There have been new features. New stories. New characters. New members. Old members returning. Things that worked exactly as planned, things that absolutely did not, and plenty of things that required considerably more coffee than anticipated. But through all of it, the reason for building and rebuilding the site hasn't changed.

It’s the community.

Every story written, character created, comment left, thread followed, suggestion offered, bug reported, and hour spent here has helped shape Roleplay Lives into what it is.

So thank you for twelve years of making this place worth maintaining, and for helping make the new version worth building.

We’re one year into the redesign.

We’re twelve years into the story.

And we’re still writing.
