No reason for GMs to get involved. If they had to arbitrate every little loot quarrel in-game, that's all they would do to the exclusion of everything else. Unless you are running with friends or trusted guildies, roll Need on everything. Problem solved.

You guys argue over the silliest shit. Let's tackle the serious issues, pie > cake!

I am very likely one of the elder statesman here so my playlist would not be recognizable in the most part to many here. While I have some modern stuff, I also lean heavily on 70's and 80's music, not to mention I am all over the charts in terms of genre.

Reddit is typically no worse than any other forum. Just look on this one to see that toxicity isn't patented by any specific forum. That said, they manage themselves and certainly are not going to give moderators here any say over there.

I don't think you understand the science behind surveys if you equate a tiny minority of people who actively choose to post in a forum with the vast majority that does not. The key here, as you kind of hinted at, is representative sample.

This is an interesting sociological issue. It has always somewhat interested me why so many people feel the urge to justify their decisions (which require no justification at all) to strangers. Are they that indecisive? Uncertain of their own decision making ability? Guilty over their conclusions? What is it? Why the need to seek mass approval of their choices? They can't possibly know more than a few people here tops so how is their approval/disapproval so important?

If you conflate the extremely tiny majority this forum represents with the entire playerbase, you can be assured your findings will be nearly useless.

No impact at all. Nost's claim to fame is population and on private servers, that trumps all. All things being equal, I would have stayed on Kronos as their scripts are the best of any private vanilla server, bar none. That said, all things are not equal and pop is a big deal as nothing impacts your experience more than a big pop to play with/against. So, I and many others play Nost and don't worry when another project dips its toe in the private server waters. You do realize there have been MANY others right?

I would like to weigh in here, pie > cake!

Surely I am not the only one appreciating the irony this thread represents?

Very aptly named thread OP, it was so long I didn't finish reading your blog entry. Can someone post some cliff notes unless it is just the usual delusional rant where some affected twit thinks the world will miss him for leaving for completely irrational reasons.

Double post, my bad.

Are we really arguing who is more entitled to play a free game the most? Humanity is so screwed.

No priority for anyone, embrace the chaos of launch! It is part of the experience.

Can the mods just write a script to auto-generate a new thread everyday with this exact same title as a time saving measure for those who missed all the others?
