Every good RP slow down eventually. Can't always keep running at 100 MPH, else we might just burn ourselves out. The trials are sort of everyone's introduction scene to the RP, so it's normal to have the RP so active right now. That and the fact that we have 20 characters. It's my first time having so much people in the same RP. Once we get over those trials, I expect the RP to take a smoother pace, unless Scio constantly throws us such events throughout the RP.
