i for one, who having had much experience with chats and message boards in the past, would like to take an opportunity to speak in support of the GM's and Dev's, today.
a small incident, about a week ago, had me suspicious of the quality of their conclusions. the event was too small to even mention, and i will not repeat the circumstances.
however, after viewing the pettiness and childishness i have seen posted in the "days of the server down", i have to commend these guys (and gals) for their unwavering patience and controlled tempers. the youngsters do have the excuse of youth, but even that is an excuse only. i do feel for those who have just downloaded to find that the download is already outdated. perhaps those links should be removed, but even those simple tasks take away time from the big picture.
i have seen quick responses to questions, and tireless repeating of the same advice. i have seen updated work posts that were not required. do you players think that the Dev's and GM's are REQUIRED to tell you each step of their work? there are many people who when doing something for YOU, if annoyed too much, would throw up their hands and say..."what's the use?"
several of us have repeated, "patience, patience" to no avail. i, now, say, if you are willing to wait, wait. if you are not willing to wait, don't. it does nothing but cause hard feelings to annoy someone who is doing the utmost of his/her ability.
thank you, officials
