An Attempt to calm the storm with players

[Product of Void]

Staff has posted numerous times this server is beta, heck it says beta all over. Change is going to happen things are going to break, or new toys are going to be tried.

Its just how it is.

As things change its best to change with them. Better to bend in the wind then be the oak who breaks.

A favorite qoute of mine is "Better to change your rp to fit the server then try to change the server to fit your rp". Rules exist so its easier for all to get along, and keep a coherent story for all.

New changes can be incovient like not having peristant chest, or not being able to level in a ceritan class. Though you have to keep in mind that those fixing them loose steam the more folks, "holler', "complain", or just rant.

The past is always more pleasant then the future due to its set in stone, while the future is an unknown. Though said fears can be reasoned away. Staff are helpful here (until folks burn them out or to many demands), there server has cool stuff, and folks here are pretty darn nice.

A new way to think of things is like this "hmm if I can not level in X class perhaps my charactor has a life changing event". Perhaps its time to take a few other classes to help go in that direction, or just add flavor.

If that doesn't work can just start the charactor over. Yeah I am sure you cursed or said 'easy for you to say", but I already have.

Loosing gear sucks, but the charactor was not fun in its current concept. Liked who it was just not what it could do. Now its alot of fun, meet new charactors, and I am enjoying the charactor again.

Perhaps its time to just take a day or two off take a breather and think before posting. Someone once said, "if something upsets you wait a day then write something when some steam is spent".

Now I do expect this locked, its not meant to be discussed. Its not an attack, its more some advice an a hope to settle the unsettled. Just trying to get folks to think, an perhaps get along.

Or I am going to beat you all with a day old fish.

I agree, I totally agree with the new changes, though I won't say nothing more because the staff already said it is not allowed

[Zoberraz]

This being the sandbox they offer, for a play experience they chose to deliver, staff is certainly entitled to such changes.

A situation like Mozgul's is certainly unfortunate, because from what I saw he was acknowledged a great roleplayer and many seemed to like his character. It does make me wish that grandfathering such characters to match the new standards would have had been possible - I mean Azulfae qualified as RPOTM with Mozgul - so I'd figure that extending the courtesy would have had only reflected beneficially upon the server.

An humble suggestion. I beg pardon for speaking it out, but the aftermath of the change and its impact on players inspire sympathy in me and I do believe the adjustment in the first place was made for fun, right?

Zoberraz, again, it's not open for discussion. Grandfathering would require code work. It isn't possible for the level of effort.

Whatever issues I may have (and I do), this PW is too good for me to give up on it.

* Good population
* Active and working DMs
* Top-notch RP

There, some positive thinking from the biggest cynic on the server.

While this thread is nice and friendly and positive I'm going to discreetly close it down. Not out of anger nor malice, but merely the fact that this topic is now present in no less than 4 different threads, all of which are now locked. Thank you for the mature input those of you who have offered it and we're sorry if some of you are upset
