Role Play University was a region set up specifically to help nations learn the skills needed to enjoy the game, and to get the most out of their role-playing experiences. All courses were being offered @ http://rpu.board.dk3.com/2/ .
Role Play University also served as the official headquarters of the United Nations in Nation States.
"Role Play University was once a large, powerful region, and an off-site school, dedicated to the education of NationStates players in the skills needed to fully enjoy their time on NationStates.
Role Play University was founded by Wolfish and Stephistan in 2003, and quickly grew to include over 60 nations – including puppets from some of the most respected players in NationStates. Each brought their own unique contribution to the region and to the school.
Over 150 students passed through the off-site school, where they took courses in strategy and tactics, United Nations politics, basic writing skills and more.
Shortly after its formation, the Region of Role Play University was selected to be the official home of the NationStates United Nations. This honour provided RPU with no additional power, but added to the strong reputation of the region.
But all good things must end. And so it was with RPU. In 2004 the workload of administering the school, and the job of recruiting new volunteer teachers became too much. And so the school was closed.
But the region continued on until, left without its purpose, it slowly began to die.
So the decision was made in early 2005 to close the region. But we have taken this step knowing that our students and region members have spread throughout NationStates – merging into the greater game and contributing to its overall popularity.
So, on this, the last day of RPU, on behalf of both Wolfish and Stephistan, thank you to all that made Role Play University one of the finest regions in all of NationStates. We will fondly remember our time with you and we hope that we have added to your enjoyment of NationStates.
Go in Peace.
Wolfish and Stephistan"
