Both sides deploying propaganda, lies, and false information.... The Alliance started getting grey anyways, but it was already impossible to do to the Republic.
Say you're a newbie RPer with minimal experience coming on the forum to find an RP group. You see there are two most active RPs. One is an reboot of an older one with a lot of predetermined lore and veterans who have spent over two years in this universe. And the other is a new RP, freshly booted, but also with a set of experienced RPers playing.
Personally I'd go for the new one. I've seen plently of new shy peoe getting scared away from our previous RP because they were afraid they would mess things up canon-wise. This would be a lot less of a problem if we reset everything.
And besides... What was left to do? I feel like I'm done with the old RP world. The very base lore and ideas feel stale. I don't think a reboot would help.
A reset would allow for a way different feel and tone, and maybe give that normally wouldn't be interested in the RP to jump on because a whole new context is more exciting.
I do want the lore to start out simple. These guys are doing this, belive in this, and have these relations. The deeper lore should only be for those who want more information, and should not be required reading.
