COMPROMISE?

[Lapinlehmät 1]

So .. lots of shit has happened recently. Blind flame war between opposing factions for and against Elysium project (alas, not just war between the Alliance and the Horde as it should be). Unfortunately lots of people doesn't seem to control their feelings and let them to ruin everything usually -> leads to blind flame wars etc. It seems that part of Elysium staff has this feeling control problem also no one's perfect I cannot blame them in the midst of this. It's human to do errors bigger and smaller ones but we have also the ability to redeem ourselves.

If there were no problems at all outside of normal ones (bugs, lag spikes and server stability issues) there wouldn't be this kind flame war or drama going on in the first place and we would have been playing normally to this day with just the normal QQs. There have been just too much evidence that something suspicious has been happening and now we just have to deal with it and to think how to change things IF we like this project to continue. Obviously new passionate (for Vanilla), trustworthy and talented devs and other staff are needed now when many has left this project.

To deny that nothing suspicious has happened OR only suspicious things has happened leads us to nowhere. We just have to accept what the situation is now and it isn't very good projectwise. I can accept that all or part of the crucial staff can profit out of this project which enables them to continue this project (e.g. server and other hardware costs) and that they get enough money for themselves according to their investment in the project (maintaining this kind of project is real work after all). But they should profit in a ways which don't hurt the gold economy of the game much, the integrity of the gameplay, trustworthiness of the whole project or impact negatively on this community. If they profit enough we as players don't even have to donate. Though the more money you get the higher are chances that you will get corrupted at some point. People will always have this greedy corruption possibility inside them. For these kinds of projects to succeed you need to get the right kind of people to right positions. Keeping in mind the imperfections we all have it's incredibly hard thing to do. Another thing is to communicate with the community. If you don't keep up with communication the project is dead before it is even born. I wish all luck to this project but you have to learn from your mistakes also. Truth and trust are two important things in life at least for me.

I've been enjoyng the time in Elysium and would like it to continue if possible. Never thought that WoW can be this fun as I joined during WotLK. I can even accept that all of the servers will get restarted from scratch if they/we can solve these current problems.

I don't like to choose sides (except for the Horde ;). I like to go through the middle ground. I try to understand everyones point of view and to build compromises out of the different views to satisfy each faction sufficiently. So what do you think? What kind of changes, improvements etc. constructive things we could do to repair this project?

Sorry to invalidate your wall of text but... there isn't a problem that needs to be fixed.  Things are moving along as usual, and on schedule.

Yeah of course no drama or such things has happened recently :)

I know that I may be asking too much here because you being able to answer you have to bury your war axe for a moment and think in a positive constructive way.
