@ZAVAZggg - Those are ideas I've considered. I was hoping to get over the timeskip before I do anything like that so that new players could enter the world while it's stuck halfway between timelines.
@Archangel89 - You can do either. Do let me know if you're dropping any gods before I initiate the timeskip though since the fate of those no longer with us will become relevant since unexplained disappearances of gods would be a notable event in this world.
@Leotamer - A shame. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
A note for everyone in general: As for this rp I'm also considering whether I want to do the timeskip I planned and keep things more or less the way they are or if I want to make the timeskip significantly longer and have the rp land in a more traditional high fantasy setting. The high fantasy setting would prove more stable for new players to be introduced to but on the other hand I don't want to disrupt the work done by my two newcomers in the time they've patiently waited thus far.
Hence I leave it up to my loyal roleplayers. Would you rather a short timeskip with a relatively unchanged current setting or a several thousand year long skip so the humans and gods alike have time to mold the landscape to their liking?
