Why have you quit?

[SearyxTZ]

My first go-around I quit because of the exp rate, and because I felt like I was playing single player (nobody in newbie zones, nobody in chat).

I came back with several TZ people after the exp change and currently play.

I think it's funny how divided opinions are and how everyone wants every which rule tweaked to the way they like it.

I think one of the larger problems the server has is the forum trolls and the constant reminder of doom and gloom and how bad the server is etc. this forum is the first thing a player looks at before deciding to join it or not. based on what I see, I'd just move along if I was a random/non referral.

nothing is really as bad as people try to make it seem. there's some angry/butt hurt folks that stick around to constantly remind us of things, but it's really not a true representation of the server. it's like a review of anything in life - very rarely will anyone stick around and post about how much fun they are having, but everyone that wants to vent and bitch will air it here frequently.

I agree.

There are legitimate issues that should not be ignored, but there's a massive difference between "THIS SERVER IS HOPELESS AND HERE'S WHY IT FAILED" and wanting to constructively improve the experience.

Staff presence/moderation is sparse. At the same time, the red playerbase could make it much more appealing for staff to actually want to be working on things here. That rapport between staff/player is damaged (and was heavily damaged during the first month or so of the server).

I was pretty happy to see Null actually respond to the resists thread and address the overall feedback.

Global OOC hasn't been touched. A poll was put up in January. Threads keep popping up. It's an example of something that should be addressed. I have been fairly vocal about it - not because I want to bitch about something, but because I try to keep the casual player in mind who starts up a new character on this server. I think people try to play and quit because of the current experience, which is not "classic" because of the population, and so we have to make the appropriate adjustments. This is why I keep pushing for that.

Players could do a better job of calling out the positives of the server and promoting it. We don't do nearly enough of this.
