In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Keep the plot. What I would do though is modify it every time a new game comes out.(eg. the new one about riku. dont worry its not coming out for 2 or 3 years)

This is news to me. I'm pretty sure you got some erroneous info, friend.
The plot is fine as it is... sure, it could use a bit more explanation and fleshing out, there's no need to start over... Rather, the only problem I see right now is that the plot's just plain NOT MOVING... What we need are for the people who control the key players of the plot - such as Sora, Mickey, the two Organizations, etc... - to start pushing the plot forward.
I'll admit it's difficult when they're all played by different people. It's hard to get everyone on and to stay active. But still, they need to not be afraid to work as individuals. Not everyone in the Org was perfectly happy following the orders of one person. Look at Marluxia, after all. There's many ways to move the plot forward other than, well, plotting.
...5 bucks says someone reads this post wrong and chews me out for it.
That is what happens when the plot is taken out of the staffs hands and given to the membership. That singular thread is more since it started than I've seen from any staff decisions in my Year+ of being here. A PM sent between Marluxia's RPer and myself already have the ball rolling on at least one follow up thread.
This kind of proves that we can do things without waiting around for a staff decision on the next lunar eclipse. All it takes is a few active members and a canon character or two.
Getting the plot moving forward should not be all pushed on the staff either. It's just as much the member's job as it is the staff's. So it's great for members to start making new threads and creating new things for others to do and get involved in.
Create or join a thread that is active. Pretty much every thread in the site right now is related or tied to the plot somehow. We just really need people to break from the pack and try to start some new things.
One thing that might help is having members involved in each thread essentially 'give' the others things to do. Now, it won't necessarily have to be like "So-and-so does this so this-person can do this." But.....more like they do something as a bad-guy, maybe, and manipulate the circumstances in such a way that so many members will react to it. I've seen several RPs do this before, and it actually worked really well, so long as enough members are proactive enough to do the said giving of objectives to other members.
I think I vaguely grasp your point, but can you please extrapolate on what, exactly, you mean? Call me dense, but I don't yet understand the point you're trying to get across.
What I'm saying is that the members in the plot threads essentially take the plot into their own hands. In other words, basically think up ways to block whatever everyone else is doing, or some other way to hinder them. A good example is if either the Dark XII or the Org figured out a way to take The World that Never Was for themself, forcing the other out. A way this could be done is dissent in the ranks of the Org's members could give the Dark XII the opportunity they need to move in and take over while they're disorganized and fighting amongst themselves. (mind you, this isn't something the Staff would be thinking up.) Pretty much, what I'm saying is have the members who are the leaders of their respective factions think of ways to accomplish their factions goals without worrying about complaints from the other factions about them messing up their plans. Also, at the same time, each individual character should have each of their individual characters(or groups of characters, whichever way the situation goes, since there are bound to be some members with more than one character having the same goals) working toward their own ends. Take my character(who is yet to be accepted. lol.) for an example. I'm going to have him working to find a way to restore his world. Of course, at the moment, there isn't a way to do this because its a world I made up. So, he'll be working towards that. Who knows where it'll lead. It could lead anywhere from him being a good guy, to him working for the organization. Basically, I'm just saying, don't be afraid to step on a few toes and manipulate peoples' characters in the RP. It makes it a little less predictable and opens up areas for more people to come in because the Canons won't be able to do it all. lol.
