I miss v0002 for this. The community was much tighter-knit, so when someone did something like a roleplay it actually worked.
I loved my "Captain Troy's Space Colony" rp, where like some forty people in the end had contributed to this giant colony on an alien planet, as well as ruins of an alien civilization. The colony itself had all features needed in a real one, a water generator room, electricty generators, air recylcers, mining facilities, and all sorts of other stuff. It was just epic...
