I think everyone knows that the developers and administrators of this server have the final say on any change or lack there of that occurs on this server. However, if we make a habit of ridiculing and berating people every time they express even a minuscule amount of displeasure, we will quickly find ourselves part of a community afraid to voice any new ideas or opinions; and that is detrimental in just about every way to the progress of our little community.

just because this server is "free" and a "privilege" doesn't mean that people shouldn't be treated in a fair and just manner... because if they aren't, it's going to kill the community imo.

Well said, couldn't agree more.

It's not really so much the Devs and GMs who I notice this from, but mostly in /ooc where people love to run their mouths and scramble to be the first to fire off an insult at any opportunity.

Two things I came up with while reading this...

In the time it took for the thread to get to here, the OP probably got through 24 hours and is already playing....

Meanwhile, Nilbog, thanks for the IP exemption back in the haydays. I tend to believe that by being POLITE would only serve you good. Maybe it gave them an extra push, or maybe I caught nilbog on a good day, but nonetheless, I just don't get people going off on not getting a response from people who are not getting paid and are doing this for everyone's enjoyment. I can't even fathom the amount of money they spent early on to get a project like this running. I got it in a day or maybe 2. N*****'s playing on the other computer and she couldn't be happier.

Thanks again, Devs!

You lost the hours of your life which you invested into your character. How about that?

My worry is the Devs get pissed off and just bail on the project. This is like the best thing since sliced bread to me, I love it. People should just have a little consideration of the hard work involved before they start whining.
I played for 10 years before I quit then restarted here, so i got a divorce but she wouldnt play an enchanter an Clarity me anyways. I got married again, this one works away all week <wink> so pls pls pls with sugar on, dont mess this up by upsetting the powers that B. I dont want to go back to the bottle <hic> think of my liver!!:D
