As the majority of users voted for one form or another of a word count limit, it's looking like it is indeed in our future (Currently it's looking like 75 is what most people like)! There was one other suggestion that I kept meaning to get around to posting and kept losing track of time.
My suggestion;
50 words - This is for basic RPs. Marketplace orders, general roleplays, anything where you're only standing to gain 5 KS. Essentially, you're wanting to grind for money, have a relaxed word count, or you're actually spending money.
75 words - Breedings, hunts/exploration, holiday/event RPs - roleplays where you stand to gain something more than KS. As a side note, if we did something like this, the staff could also consider bringing KS gain back to the breeding area (Kreepy seemed alright with this idea when I mentioned it to her; haven't run it by other staff yet). Maybe RE would even bump up success rates of hunts (no promises, that's just an idea).
100 words - Site plot/major even roleplay - essentially, thus far, just the war RPs. Obviously we'd like to do other site events some day, rather than just the war. Of course, any posts made for the current site plot that were done before the shift to word count will still be 10 sentences instead of 100 words.
Without a doubt we'll be moving to the word count system eventually, but I figured I'd give time for people to still pitch ideas on how we structure it. I've also updated the poll to see if users like this idea or not, and definitely feel free to speak up on why you do or don't like it!
(Meanwhile, you guys can have some time to get used to the word counter that Kreepy added! I am liking being able to see the word count for this post climb as I type it.)
