Hey everyone,
I used to be a really active player on SchoolRP starting all the way back in 2018, and I stuck around for about three years. During that time, I made great friends, had tons of fun, and genuinely enjoyed being part of what felt like a creative and welcoming community.
I recently came back hoping to experience that same vibe — but honestly, things feel different now. It’s a lot harder to connect with people, and the atmosphere doesn’t feel as chill or open as it used to.
Coming back after a while, it's been a little cloudy for me remembering how to properly roleplay or navigate certain parts of the server. Naturally, I’ve needed a bit of help getting back into the groove. But instead of people being patient or open to helping, I’ve mostly gotten snarky messages or passive-aggressive responses — like being told things are “obvious” or being mocked for not immediately knowing every command or shortcut. That kind of attitude makes it even harder to feel welcome again.
To top it off, I had a recent interaction where my character chose to ignore some in-character flirting — nothing dramatic at all. But through /looc, the other player got rude, calling my character ugly and saying things like “my character would never date a namemc.” Then another player, presumably their friend, kept chiming in with “nothing is funny” — apparently just because I typed “LMAO,” which is literally just how I type. I don’t take it personally, honestly it’s laughable, but it’s still annoying. Roleplay isn’t meant to be taken that seriously — especially not to the point where it turns into actual hostility through looc.
It’s disappointing, because I remember SRP being fun, creative, and full of people who supported each other and didn’t act like they were above others. Now, it feels more cliquey, less open to new or returning players, and honestly kind of discouraging.
Just wanted to share this experience and see if anyone else who’s come back after a break has noticed a shift in the community too. Would love to know if it’s just bad luck or if others feel the same.
Anyone else returning after a break and feeling this change?
