it really is a shame because I am a filthy werewolf + vampire trope enjoyer, it feels like there's not many dark magic groups atm (naz and necro I think are doing good, mystics? not sure, and bms I hardly count) and it always felt like the vamps and wws were among the ones that were good at fostering a tight-knit community and culture that could be interacted with more depth. the naz had a political meeting with zarsies' silit group some time ago and i really enjoyed the RP even if they were shelved some short time later

Werewolf and vampire groups were secluded before and you never saw interactions outside of these tight-knit communities with regular players. The number of times I ran into either of those groups was quite literally 0 in a 3+ year span. 

I will say there are quite a few dark magic groups currently existing. Clearly the necromancer group with the recent addition of ghouls has seen a large uptick in members and naz (as you're aware) are quite active recently as well after the passing of the rewrite. Mysticism is also active to an extent. The real groups that are lacking are the presence of "good" or "holy" magic(s) in general. Sakuragakure has the largest active group of holy mages and even then, they are usually outnumbered 10 to 1 when just fighting the necromancer groups alone. The rest of the holy mage groups just do tailored dungeon battles put on by ET and dont do anything else relevant or have left the server because their paladin rewrite got denied.

When you rewrite them

all these replies but the answer remains . . . when people make a proposal that isn't weird . . .
