LiTRP is back!

I've decided to start essentially fresh with my RP guild, recreated the discord server, blank-slate put all storylines back to square 1! The VtM IC Guild will be a sister to LiT, and use the same discord, with its own category.

Me? Creating an incredibly niche roleplay guild? Noooo...

Introducing Prince Amethyn of Divinity's Reach, my character for said new roleplay guild that I completely absolutely totally did not just create. This Guild will focus on intrigue, politics, and of course, Vampirism! Open Court roles currently: Sheriff 0/1 Harpy 0/1 Scourge 0/1 Keepers of Elysium 0/3 (one for each bar in DR) Primogen 0/13 (one for each Clan!) Kindred 0/unlimited

This Guild runs on EU, and if interest is decent, I'll make a discord server to RP on as well.

Is bettafishy still a part of this new discord

No, I have no contact to her anymore.

Behold, an actual GW2 RP overlay that works! Or, the coolest shit I've ever seen.

This was brought to my attention by a new guild member yesterday, so I downloaded it, and now I'm obsessed. Since Ive been roleplaying very actively for years and had no clue this existed, I figured I'd share!

As LiT resumes, I think I wanna encourage the rest of the guild to use this, too.

post canceled, dev endorses and actively supports Ai art

In case folks are doubtful, here's a link to the post talking about WARP's dev supporting genAI art

Thank you! Going to leave the post up for informations sake!

gw2characteroftheday

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the owner of WARP supports generative AI, and there’s a channel in their discord servers for it. There’s at least one gw2 artist on tumblr whose art has been fed into AI by the people in that server, because they want to be able to make free art of their RP characters.

This is why we cant have nice things. thanks for the heads up

this is all very upsetting. i hate this.

mithrasisgay

i have a confession now

Hey, psst hello

We're partnering up with an NA guild as the EU branch, meaning a tag and logo change, as well as branching out into gameplay, rather than just RP

Details to follow!

#guild wars 2 #gw2

What Killed The GW2 Tumblr Fandom?

(And I do just mean the tumblr fandom. I’ve not really noticed the fandom as a whole having this problem.)

So full disclosure before I talk about what I’ve noticed personally and why I think this jazz is happening: I’ve never been the most active in this fandom. I’ve tried to be in the past but even at my peak I’ve always felt a lil outside of everything? I’ve been playing GW2 since launch and I’ve been making a Gw2 comic at @torasteals for the fandom for almost 5 years at this point. For most of that time I’ve felt like some weirdo tossing shit into the void and only vaguely being aware of what else was going on in the tumblr fandom beyond the few blogs I followed. I want y’all to keep this in mind cause it does paint my perception of what I’ve seen as different from someone who may have been far more involved in the fandom than me.

Okay with that in mind…

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

The death of engagement within the GW2 fandom as I’ve noticed it seems tied to at least three things: Tumblrpocalypse of 2018, the migration to FFXIV, and the Pandemic of 2020.

Tumblrpocalypse of 2018

Does anyone else remember this shit? Tumblr had that change of policy around nsfw art and changed how they treat links that basically murdered a bunch of creators on tumblr? Everyone remember the mass exodus of artists and creators leaving tumblr for twitter? Yeah tumblr has definitely chugged along alive since, somehow miraculously, but the effects of this can still be felt to this day. We lost a large chunk of creators for the fandom during this. I wouldn’t be surprised if a large chunk of fans, who don’t create fan works, left for this reason as well.

Personally, tumblr’s changes in policy and algorithm during this time nearly killed my comic. I lost a lot of readers and a lot of engagement with my work. I wouldn’t be surprised if other artists went through something similar here.

Even so, I do recall there still being a lot of creators that held on during this time and who persisted to create works on tumblr. But then…

The Migration to FFXIV

From what I’ve seen, a lot of people, creators and just fans alike, have simply moved on from GW2 to FFXIV. Like, a LOT of them. Nearly every artist that I used to follow for GW2 content just doesn’t do that anymore. Nearly all of them have moved onto FFXIV (and sometimes some other game entirely, but it’s usually FFXIV). I don’t know what this says about the state of the game itself right now, but I’m not sure we’re getting as many new fans as we’re losing right now. That might change when End of Dragons is released, since expansions have always historically brought in an influx of new blood, but I’m no fortune-teller.

As it currently stands, I legitimately don’t know how many of us are left in this fandom. Hell, I still regularly make content for this fandom weekly and I can tell you I’ve been burned out on the game and needing a break from it for awhile now. I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t a common feeling.

Pandemic of 2020

I would honestly argue that this is what put the nails in the coffin for the fandom at present. I couldn’t begin to tell you exact reasons why, but I can tell you that as soon as shit really hit the fan last year, engagement in this fandom basically died. My posts that used to get a handful of reblogs, have turned to nearly zero over the course of this crisis.

My dashboard used to be littered in GW2 posts. So much so that even if I didn’t directly follow them, I could tell you who the big names in the tumblr fandom were. I can’t do that anymore. I have no idea who is big and popular on here anymore. It’s not just that people have stopped engaging, it’s that people have stopped creating as well. I’ve seen honest to god radio silence from creators who used to dominate the GW2 tag.

Again I’ve got nothing but guesses as to why this is? COVID has done a number on all of us I think. It’s harder to create and it’s harder to engage. It’s incredibly depressing on a number of fronts.

So is this it then?

I’d like to hope it isn’t?

I don’t really want to end this on such a doom and gloom note, and I’m sorry for that. I don’t think the fandom will straight up die forever but I do think we’re havin’ it rough right now. And there’s no guarantee of when shit’ll pick back up again as far as I’m aware.

If anyone else has thoughts on this, I’d love to hear it. I’m sure my picture of what I’ve been seeing is incomplete, so if anyone has stuff to add or has noticed things I’ve straight up been blind to, I’d be very curious to know.

In response to this, i will be reviving this guild and it's tumblr presence. I hope that'll breathe some life into the community again.

Leader here

In regards to the "is the gw2 fandom dying" discussion, I've elected to try and revive this guild. I will be going on a kicking spree for inactives, then resume recruitment, events and so on.

If you want to join, we have a discord here https://discord.gg/Z8NaWka

Check out the LiT community on Discord - hang out with 53 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
