What do you look for in a roleplay?

[Lance]

So if it's not obvious I'm doing this for additional info I may want to include in an upcoming roleplay The main roleplay seems to have reached a stand still for the most part. I'm also going to be working on recruiting once more We have more members but without any "drive" they see little reason to post.

Anyways, go ahead and post a few things you would like to see. Feel free to throw any questions, comments or ugly remarks.

Uh I just look for a good plot and if it stirs me to create a character/revamp an old one

Substance, depth, good flow, and consistency.
I want a massive, detailed place that allows for one to have a story that never requires you to revisit the same place more than once, but encourages it within the story. Reasons for places is a fine thing.
I enjoy depth in what I look at. A big place that is as shallow as a puddle won't impress me so much. Tons of background information, lore, things already set in motion to make it seem as if there is a bigger picture moving around my characters, ect really helps.
Flow, nice a easy. Things can't be overly hasty, but there should always be some drive to keep the player pieces in movement. A beginning, a middle, and an end, as well as the segments between those. Too drawn out, with no real substance or depth to hold it up, and it'll fall flat on it's face. That brings up the final one, the consistency. Once again, a simple concept. Keep it good, from beginning to end.
It's a surprisingly high order. Many, many people fail at more than one of these things in their roleplays. It becomes even more difficult when you allow players to create their own characters, ones with futures not predetermined in your story arcs. Don't think of these as requirements, though. They are guidelines at best, and gibberish at worst.
