1. Do not overbuild, always try to limit what you're build no more than 30 minutes. This way you can RP asap
2. If you must overbuild, try to RP while building.
3. Keep a balance between towns and heros. If there's too many towns, people don't do much RPING, if there's too many heros, there's not much RPING to do.
The best ratio is 2 heros : 1 town
4. Don't wait for people to go to you for rping, you should go to people.
5. Don't build insane Defenses at the barrier of your town...people aren't going to attack it
6. Squelch people you found annoying.
