For reference, I can't think of any reason why we would be unwilling to approve more characters for the RPG - more the merrier, plotline or not. The staff is a little busy, though. Apologies for the delays.
Ok I'm going to be honest here. Its becoming evident that the WPL's just don't have the time for this project (or perhaps just a few). While wonderful in concept this project is once again proving to be an exercise in futility. Schedules and life are understandable, but between having everyone designated as a WPL (outside myself) in one project and barely getting a post every 2 weeks from someone other than myself seems a bit excessive.
I don't need reasons (as an ex-WPL for this project I understand completely), just a statement that either we need real standards for posting or lets just not beat a dead horse and let this thing go its way. We would think by the xth (I don't really remember how many times this has been changed/rebooted) time we would have things in line with expectations that the projects requires actual maintenance beyond just wanting to play.
So where are we at with this?

I've been Pming WPLs in hopes of finding out the same thing. I would love to play this game, but don't want to go through all of the trouble of building a satchel if it won't ever be used. To me it would be like a character death without a character life. That's just not okay with me. I've been checking back daily in hopes of receiving some reassurance, but the fact that you've been around since the beginning and are so discouraged is having a similar effect on me. Here's hoping all comes together.
Didn't want to bring up stuff, since I don't like pestering people, especially since I saw other people took a while to get stuff approved, but, since someone else has been bringing similar stuff up... I've been waiting for something like a quarter of a year to get an answer back on my character, so this has been going on for a while...
Ok I'm PMing Nai about this. It's been what like almost 2 weeks since my post. Think this project is dead in the water. Also I'm not one to rain on anyones parade I'm just realistic. There were reasons why the project couldn't keep going the last few times. With the exception of Ti'rin and myself when we basically almost fully co-ran everything (minus i believe it was Giga and one other player) we've never run all that smoothly. To our new players don't be discouraged. I'll see if there really is an answer to all of this inactivity.

Thanks Fenris. I really would love to get into something like this. I've been concocting my own method of transitioning my own 3.5/pathfinder game into something similar. I'm starting with my own setting, but have definitely considered the possibility of opening up the canon MTG planes. I'll keep checking back.
Ok So I messaged Nai and got QFX's reply. So as we stand here we are. Unless we have a new WPL stand up and want to run the game or one of the other two actually throws in their 2 cents and says they will keep the project running, the project has met its final end. However, I am not a WPL nor a mod so things could change and I could be wrong. Still I think that for what players are left you had best find alternatives.

So if Nai or Cyouni keep this going, or someone new steps up, this is gone?
...well, that sucks. I'd love to step up, but High School and Drama means I wouldn't be on much of the day.
...Doesn't stop me G+ RPing, why should it stop this RPing?
...I'd have to get permission, and I may seem immature or irresponsible or something...
...OK, if they will let me step up, I'd be glad to. Should I message a WPL about this?
...wait, is Nai smallcreation or Cyouni?

Sorry, I've been having a bit of hardware trouble of late, and the last little while has been especially ridiculous.
That said, I'd be perfectly fine with keeping it running, but I know for a fact that I can't do it solo. Not with all the other things I have to handle.
Who else wants to step up and do this? Three is the preferred number. I am going to E-Mail SC for a status update, but at the moment I am not counting him (E-Mail sent). I am not going to be of any help while my classes are in session, but that was the case from the start of this.
If you guys would have me, I'd be okay with doing a little admin work (? my knowledge of word choice in this specific case is somewhat limited). The main issue is that I only played a small amount of the original M:TG RPG and I didn't even get to have my character done in the current iteration. I do, however, have a reasonable amount of experience GMing play by post RPs in general.
I'm thinking you send it to myself, Cyouni, and Flintlock, and maybe Qfx as well, but I don't think anything's final at the moment. Might want to hold off on the sending us a profile until we get things somewhat stable again. Meaning we know who's on the staff and who isn't. Because we don't know if smallcreation's going to continue being a WPL, and we don't know if Flintlock and I are technically WPLs yet.

I've got the satchel filled out, but am uncertain about its power level and balance with the game, so it's ready to send your way. I still need to communicate with someone on background. Waiting on a go ahead, don't want to be a nuisance, spamming up inboxes. The game is still running though! Still thrilled. I'll keep an eye out for updates.
Ok so there is WPL's. Now comes the next important step do we have any actual movement here for quest related stuff. Because if i recall correctly QFX, Myself, and Cyouni (as quest leader) are locked in non-update mode given an inactive player (that player being SC). Any chance we see that and actual other quests put up for other players to get moving?

So, what exactly is going on with this? Do I need to resend a PM about my character or is it on hold, is it being shut down, or is it just needing more staff to run it?
EDIT: If you need more help running it, I know I haven't been around long and you have no reason to trust me, but I do have experience running forum based RPG's. If you need the help, I would be willing to step up, but I completely understand if you don't trust someone with only a handful of posts and not even a month of time around here.
Going to go ahead and retire this. I think that maybe I was too ambitious with the scope of this version with the whole each world having its own sub-forum and such. I do have hopes to do a less ambitious version of this at some point in the future, but that future is maybe a year to two years away. For now I would to thank everyone who helped on the project and played in it, thank you.
