This is very true. Just look at what happened with HolyWyvern. He can't make an RP that people join anymore, because of how people think of him from past experiences. The only reason that Frostfall Guild:Cataclysm is doing well is because it is a sequel to another RP, so everyone from that RP joined Cataclysm.

Ah yes, the sequel effect in action. People become too attached to the overall story to abandon the the sequels, no matter how bad. They ignore good stuff in the process. It works for games, which is why Call of Duty sells. Same for RPs. You make a new one, people are scared to try. It kinda makes starting a new RP, no matter how good, very difficult
