Agreed. Knowing what their "vision" is and the changes they
are making to reach it would be beneficial to all.
I was striving to make the point that Istaria's survival is based
on a symbiotic relationship, something that some people
disregard as a factor. Without an adequate number of paying
subs, Istaria will not be profitable and will shutdown.
It is good to have change, good to question those changes, even
better when the change is accepted as being in the best interest
of ALL. It isn't good to be given the attitude that "if you don't like the
change - There's the door". (I.E. the Fall newsletter thingy and
other instances.)
This point was covered by others in previous threads - it bears repeating.
To maintain any symbiotic relationship there has to be a balance.
That balance is maintained by mutual happiness and compromise -
an acknowledgement that both parts are needed for the whole to
survive. Each part bears responsibility to maintain that balance.
Antagonism from any direction within the community will only
cause more paying subs to be canceled. Something I am sure
most of us do not want to see happen.
As Vahrok stated in his post, we need a "Vision" that will unite the
Community into a whole and give us something to do beyond everyone
sniping others within Istaria. The "Vision" is our future, the Key
is for the DEVS to balance that with compromises when necessary
to maintain player satisfaction.
*climbs off soapbox* Sorry if I got preachy.
