I made this post a few months ago, doing it again.
Over the years many cities, towns, and regions have been created and added to the Wiki. Some of these have been added to the map, others not, but regardless many pieces of created content suffer from lack of use in RP.
I think this happens for a variety of reasons, but chiefly that people tend to want to go where the RP is already happening, because ya know it's easier to join in on something going on that kicking off your own thing or some forgotten Wiki that hasn't been dusted off in a while.
This, I've noticed, has lead to many fantastic pieces of lore sort of sitting by the wayside. Including some that are actively on the map!
I think to combat this Staff should implement a 'City Highlight' event. Essentially 2-3 times a year Staff should pick a City or place that is underutilized on Chronicles and Highlight it in various means. Make some event(doesn't have to be site wide but something centered around that place), create a banner linking the event/wiki for the city, encourage the run of additional fun RPs in the city, and maybe even create a theme for the site based around that place.
It's my belief that something like this could spur activity in places that have sort of fallen by the wayside such as Molthal or Cerak, or even some of the smaller lore regions which were originally created on the sites founding but haven't been much utilized.
