I had left SRP simply because interests shifted from it, as well as many friends I've made on the platform no longer being active, and because I've been gone so long I don't know how to roleplay anymore with others. I didn't announce myself as quitting, I kinda just silently disappeared.
I will admit though, another reason I lost interest was the community and overall of SRP. SRP falls under very strict rules, and after being told so many times something in the rules has changed without any acknowledgement of such till the rule was broken, it was like walking on eggshells! Not to mention I've had my fair share of not so pleasant interactions.
But hey, thats just from my experience, and alot has been added and changed that i find myself popping back on to just look around <3

it’s been a while since I’ve answered these, wouldn’t be surprised if Staff has me down as ‘complicated’.
But I agree with Lunere, and even add onto it and my reasons.
Firstly, For me I have semi-quit/fully quit because I’m an adult, and I have a life. I have new hobbies, a relationship, and a Job. SRP really doesn’t make it Adult friendly (atleast the ones that aren’t in school.) at all. I come back to roleplay when I am feeling invested into my SRP character and I have time. But it’s only rarely as I’m afraid to have her in committed roleplays and I don’t log on for months (this can go onto 8/9 months offline.) simply because I don’t want to and it holds back not just the ppl I would rp with but so much roleplay that shouldn’t take so long to get over. I also end up missing out on a lot. So I’d rather stay offline and pop on sometimes, but it’s usually never worth it.
Now to add on, Honestly. The community isn’t the best, and People have found it incredibly hard to roleplay with others even if some are like “Oh you can rp with me just say hi icly!” It happens, never talk again. Even then, people only like their cliques and won’t leave from it- Most would rather be BORED and stand in one spot for hours on srp than to roleplay with someone new. It’s hard for me to roleplay like that and get motivated.
The factions. The staff leads to now vs the ones early 2020’s are drastically different. I feel like they can’t necessarily answer to Applications on time, plus only Approve those who put in a lot of unnecessary effort into their applications (like banners, mind you I’m not hating lemme continue..) or their friends + Reputation still matters for some reason. I don’t want to put a load shit of effort into my character application then it gets rejected because it doesn’t look like I put extra extra (like banners.) also, dont want to be friends with majority of the faction oocly to be approved in, nor do I want to do the most for a good reputation which MANY people who have been on SRP for a good while understand that Reputation has to be the worst thing to actually need.
Aka, when your character/you have high reputation. People only want to rp with you JUST because of that, nothing else. Plus, lately people with High Reputations have been outed to not being the best people to be around.
Overall, back then Applications were easy. Unless you were actually known for things that give side-eyes, Multiple warns or Bans. It was way easier to being accepted into a Faction and grow your character. With this new system, it genuinely sucks cause I don’t want to rp as a College Student or Highschool Student, sometimes I want to rp as a character that is like me. A working Adult trying to survive, PLUS. The server is incredibly boring if you are just a [Adult], you don’t have anything to do, there’s nothing that opens during school time for adults- and majority of other adults are either AFK or don’t know how to interact icly.
Besides, most characters are sorta copy & pastes of eachother. I don’t want to rp with 10 Regina Georges in one day.
+ A lot of people just haven’t been able to roleplay .. correctly? Or even understand their character emotions.
anyways ima stop, byeee

It's so true that people only stick to their cliques. I myself have tried to make friends with people I knew in the past only to get shunned because they are popular now. I made mistakes in the game as any human does but I never did anything detrimental and yet I find myself pretty isolated from the people I once dared to call friends. The whole server gives me a bad vibe and yet I can't turn away from it after all these years.
People in srp are unforgiving - if you have one disagreement with them they will hold it against you until the end of time. It's sad. If you don't flood ooc with quotes and mentions of your group's inside jokes then you're not cool enough and not worth mentioning or even casting a glance at. A very bias server that accepts people into clubs, teams or factions based on how cool you are. People used to have a chance.
