There are about 1,400 members in each of the four houses - about 5600 sorted members in total - but realistically not all of them are active in the role play. | |

Right now it stands for "The Prince" as in the half-blood prince movie. It's a target to get 1 000 000 posts before the movie comes out.

(In order to post in any of the fan clubs you first have to be a member, otherwise your post won't go through.)
In order to become a member of any of the fan clubs, simply go to the top of your page and click on "User CP" (it's up there on the blue bar, on the left side), then click on "group memberships" on the left side of your option choices, and you will see a list of all the fan clubs. Simply choose what you like and that should do it! | |

Classes don't start all at the same time. It depends on the professors who teach the class. They usually post up annoucements as to when classes are scheduled to happen. | |

I think the reason is probably because of the server upgrade. I have had a hard time accessing the school through the regular RPG School link lately, also, even though it worked when I tried it just now. Another way you can get to the school is to try this link, that should do it (I've been using it when the other one didn't work. Keep in mind, though, that there isn't much available right now, as the term hasn't started yet, in fact, the Hogwarts Express hasn't even left!) - Wizarding World - SnitchSeeker.com
Good luck! | |

I suggest you look into our other areas on the site whilst you wait. You could roleplay in Knockturn Alley or share a fic with us in Gringotts. | |

Ooops... There's a mistake and I'll fix it. Thanks for letting us know!
EDIT: Just kidding! The express does start today but, it hasn't started yet. Our Headmistress isn't even awake yet for the day. Remember, the site has people from all time zones so while it may be late on the 1st or even the 2nd for you already, it's still very early in the morning on the 1st for others.  | |

You'll have to wait until the next sorting, which will take in about three months. But once you have your 10+ legit posts you'll have access to the rest of the site (with the exception of the School RP). You can hang out there until the next sorting. | |

I have to wait 3 months?? That doesn't seem fair at all if school hasn't even started. What about everyone who accidentally starts in the middle of the year? That completely makes me want to not play at all, because it seems like you have no consideration for the players. This website shows up on other sites, and you can't dictate when people will find one of those links and decide to join. Just my opinion. | |
