I don't think anyone will join TheBlackMage01. You see, if they don't know the story or the features, there is no reason to join. The only thing we actually know is that it has to do with magic (the name) though I can barely confirm it.

Give us a story, something... something that impresses people, something that attracts them to join.

Just for the Hell of it Ill write something:

Many of thousands of Years ago a group of immortal warriors known as the magi protected the anicent artifacts of the god of death, Anbuis. To ensure that no one would ever find these artifacts, the magi buried them beneath the burning sands and placed a powerful curse apon them. The curse as it has been said, would release many demons of Anbuis. The demons would then seek out any that would have known about the artifact and kill them before the found out the artifcacts secrets. The artifacts themselves are very powerful, containing various dark magics from necromancy to elemental spells. Only one would be foolish enough to try and find them, however recently an archologist named Professor Kolt, discovered the anicent tablet of Anbuis. Not knowing what it was, it was auctioned off at the musium. It was here that it was purchased by a man named Alan Schzar. A man that is obsessed with the anicent artifacts of Anbuis. Using his knowledge of the anicent times, Schzar was able to translate the tablet, reveiling to him the locations of the five great artifacts of Anbuis. Seeking power and eternal life Schzar and his newly hired mercs went off in search of the first artifact, The staff of command, an artifact that is said to have been used by Anbuis himself to command his vast army of undead and demon soldiers. Apon finally disovering the staff in the burning sands demons where summoned. As the demons began their massacre Schzar used the staff of command apoun them. Now under his orders the demons follow and serve him in search of the other artifacts. You as one of the surriving mercs discovers the truth behind Schzars mad scheme. You must try to stop him before he unleaches the armies of Anbuis apon the world!

its a roleplay. It has "no plot". The players make the plot. Kinda like D&D

It is true, usually it has no real plot, but usually it does have a story hanging around somewhere for quests and the like. You could tell a quest for it as example, meaning that people get a sort of feeling how it feels what kind of quests they get.
It sounds more interesting now (not because of the neg-rep. :P) but still...

Anyway, plot or no plot, there is still something missing that would let people not join it.

I did play a 'Role Play' map some while ago, you could get any unit you wanted and in any amount, in short make your own story up. A complete and utter failure on the internet, people want a story and stuff to do, targets to aim for. Give them freedom to make up a story and it fails. Only really any good between friends, then you could just tailor a map to do the required.

I might have gotten the wrong idea of what your on about, but whatever you do you need a proper storyline with quests etc or people will hate it.

No, once more, it is a RP MAP. Not an RPG. A RP map is a map with "no preset plot". The players will make up their own storys and go and interact with each other using some of the most advanced commands on Bnet (Well, compared to maps such as footman wars lol)

If you do not know what an RP map is, you would not be good on this team. RP maps include DoB, MRP, etc. I am sure you've seen one of those on Bnet before...
