what can i do as an old orc player with limited time on the server for more people to get involved with our community and magic?

I want to preface this with the fact that if you want to have an indepth detailed discussion, you are free to contact me on Discord (@ mcvdk) as I’ll most likely miss further comments on this status, considering I get a thousand pings a day.
Love you both and the work you do. Keep it up. This is simply my perspective which may or may not aid you in your quest. No harm intended.Now I would argue you are both focusing on the wrong message of the response above considering nearly most, if not all, of your response was in defense of the section which mentions prior orcish toxicity; I specifically refer to past perceptions and formerly found for the reason that I wholeheartedly believe the orcs HAVE changed over the last few years. Though considering both of your responses this continues to cause issues, which was my train of thought as well, and therefore I want to reiterrate my final point of the section: “but I would argue there is a distinctive importantance in marketing orcs in this newer ‘rebranded’ version.”
New onto the point I was trying to make - I do not doubt the orcs have culture, nor do I doubt shamanism has culture, and I am very aware of the deep ties to older server lore which orcs hold because I used to play an orc due to that. This culture is simply not evident compared to a lot of other cultures in my entirely honest opinion. This is the reason I refer to “insignificance” and not because I hold a grudge with the orcs (I have in fact tried to get involved with orcs over the last few years) yet there is an evident lack of awareness OUTSIDE of the orcish community of the culture significance compared to other cultures. (Best example thereof being the humans - everyone knows of Canonism, at the very least in periphery vision).
I think a large amount of this is due to forum activity and the fact the human or elven communities post more culturally relevant posts than orcs (or at least the perception thereof) which may be something the orcs can work on. Here I do not mean to post a singular culture post and call it a day - but do expansion over multiple posts, stories related to those, ect.
Finally I do not think it is fair to claim anyone is lying about the experience of theirs. Everyone has had an individual experience, some more traumatising than others, and everyone is allowed to hold that experience close to their heart. We both know there has been eras of orcs with less fortunate ideologies and people yet the orcs have largely overcome that - I don’t think the issue is that people lie about the experience they’ve had, clearly enough people have experienced for this to be issue, yet more so that the current orcish community hasn’t truly managed to push through that thought of rebrand to those who used to be orcs but more so has focused on newer orcs, which honestly is fair enough and a decent approach but unless the community actively tries to push the thought of “a new orcish era” to the people who left due to the old, then complaining about people discussing the past becomes somewhat useless.

I have always believed publicised and ENFORCED culture achieves a lot in terms of player interest. Orcs have a massive history - much more complicated than other races and nations which presently flourish - yet nearly none seems to be recorded or actively utilised, at the very least from an outsiders perspective.
I feel as though the orcs are still very haunted by past perceptions, and likely continues to attract certain members of that old player profile, of the formerly found extreme toxicity and near neo-[insert specific Nationalistic German viewpoint from 1940] roleplay which undeniably turned A LOT of players (myself included) away from the orcish communities as more modern views and toxicity enforcement began to spread across the server. How do you fix this? Honestly uncertain, but I would argue there is a distinctive importance in marketing orcs in this newer “rebranded” version.
Perhaps a slight tangent rather than actual advise, yet as mentioned near the start; the cultural “insignificance” of both shamanism as aswell as the orcs overall, from an outsiders perspective, does not entice anyone to actively RP in the Rexdom. Perhaps it is there - but even the lowest of noobs needs to understand it is there, rather than have to work to discover it themselves.

qotd: what's something that strikes true, raw fear into your character? it could be a person, a concept, a magic, etc. you could also talk about an RP interaction relating to a time they were afraid of something, somewhere

You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
