i am one of those that refuses to play the 1a server, we like being self-sufficient and being able to play on our own time. no waiting for clannies that you don't trust to help you kill and hope you're not going to get stabbed in the back at the same time. if the main server continues this downhill path, it will die off or be shut down and a number of the players will move on to other games.
just because there is a few more players on the new server most of the time right now isn't reason enough to give up on the loyal players on the main server. almost half of the playerbase could be lost if it fell. what happened to advertising the game? the banner contest that i spent countless hours on? you know what would be smart.. post the html for some banners here on the forum and let people use them on myspace and other blog sites. people aren't going to type in a web address from a picture on a site, but if someone can click it and be taken there it will work. people are lazy, you must hand the site to them. and use your resources, myspace is massive, those that have it like to customize it. there are even nightmist groups on there i've heard.
if those that are in charge are giving up, either we few will convince you it's worth it or you must share the load with us that are willing to help. we care about this game, the players, the staff. it is a game, it is meant to be enjoyable... staff members shouldn't have to fight to convince admins that new areas and quests are worth it, they want to keep this game new and fresh and fun. they play too you know, they do have a good view on what is happening to the game. the staff members aren't slave labor, they are players too.. they deserve to have fun on their own time. they are still coming up with areas and quests for the server, though they feel it isn't worth the fight to let it happen. someone has to keep the game breathing, if admins aren't and they aren't letting the staff.... then who will? do the players voices still count for anything?
PLEASE help us bring enjoyment back to the game for those that have given up hope.. the heart still beats.. it is not dead yet..
