Star Army is kind of like a huge toolbox, players provide the action for each other, so if more needs to happen, don't necessarily wait for it when you can make it happen. The best thing you can do to be successful here is to be active and perhaps a little loud in the community. There's a lot of history here -- this RP'sbeen going since 2002. Fifteen years! -- and while the lore matters, the players that matter most are the ones who are here now and making an impact now. Which means that very soon you can have every bit as much leverage as a veteran. And before you know it you will be a long-time veteran player too. Star Army has lasted a long time and I plan to keep it going as long as I can, so it's probably not going to implode like many, many, other RPs have. So I feel pretty safe in saying that this is a place you can kind of invest in. Best wishes and welcome!
