  I'm kind of echoing on what people have said, but....

   

  My Mantra: Conflict creates plots. Plots create character development. Character development creates engagement.

   

  There is no need for 'evil'. There is just a need for something to disagree about and conflict with.

   

  The problem is not finding conflict, it is about maintaining that conflict to reap the RP benefits, rather then finding a quick resolution/solution. 

   

  The -journey- of obtaining closurer should be engaging, enjoyable, and rewarding. Too many conflicting persons/parties have been met with a quick end to gain victory.

   

  Don't think black and white or good or evil.

   

  Think of shades of gray and what might be considered right and wrong in terms of someones personal ethics. Its our ethics that define our perception.

  Mayune, you bring up something I feel very strongly about! When I've played an antagonist or created a conflict for other RP'ers, I find that they usually want to solve the problem IMMEDIATELY...I think this ruins a lot of the fun :(
  
  But you're right. There's no need for 'evil'.

  I do agree with Mayune on this aspect. You do not neccesarily need an overiding Evil force that everyone will want to take down. Like my character for instance, his morals may be qustionable to you living, but to him and frankly many forsaken it is perfectly normal. He is not so much evil as in that he sees the forsaken as the dominant race and wants to see their growth in power, meaning he will do whatever it takes to ensure that a thousand living are butchered before a single loyal forsaken is destroyed.
  
  However, as awesome as all that conflict is. There is still that want/desire to have an overiding evil that will force others to put aside their differences and band together to fight and hopefullly achieve victory. Everyone wants to be a Hero kinda thing.
