Basically the situation is this: the GM and 80% of the Os of Exodus are barely active. That leaves Citidal (look for Citwar, his new main) and Funkeey to carry all the weight, and they don't want to spend all their time playing reflagging people ad nauseam. They've been doing a lot of that already.

The remaining Os are sensitive to constant new requests for gear and flags because so many have already gone inactive. That's why having new blood is great if some of y'all actually keep playing in a few weeks. Ask other FoH dudes for stuff. Ever hooked me up when I joined. I helped Hatorade when he did. The other guys are great people, but they don't know y'all. And honestly, gear and leveling is so fast and chill already, that you don't need much, if anything, to go out and enjoy the world. You'll be a high level very very fast no matter what.

I'm a bit wary of forming a separate organization for the same reason of inactivity. Some people are going to want to do the nostalgia trip and then go do other things. I'm cool with that. You do you. But if we split off and have the same kind of attrition Exodus has been facing then those that continue to play will need more active players to hang with anyway, and we'll be back to working with new people. For some of us these aren't new people. Ever, Jysin, Flo, Friday, and myself played with Citidal and Omar on KP.

If y'all want to form an RR guild at this point, we've got plenty of manpower to do it and I'll join up with every character. When it started up before it was basically like 6 of us playing. Now it's more like 15. But I still think Exodus is the place to be if we can get a few more active officers established. I sent the GM, Vaizon, a mail about it.

1. GMs are not barely active. I receive over 15 pms on the forums about issues/bugs that I fix almost immediately. I haven't been active this week due to an audit at work which had me scrambling to put this server in the cloud.

2. We are revising flagging and other progression`esque flags to require 2/3 or a simple 1 time grant from a player that has completed the entire progression up to Luclin.

3. Planes of Power is 80% done. I am manually going through and fixing every single dumb ass thing that live did wrong. "Hail a planar projection?" "Suck me, task/kill flags group/raid" Querks in PoTimeB? Not anymore, fuck that instance, it'll be a static contested zone. No more issues with events not spawning.

4. We migrated hosts due to difficulties at work (subsidiary of MSFT). We are back into the swing of things. I'm actually meeting with another developer this week for a serious overhaul session. (Beer, tequila, and writing elf simulators).

5. There will be major improvements/changes coming. Life gets busy, we do this in our spare time. I spun this up to last probably 2 months tops, and I'm so deeply ingrained into this project that I'd like to have it last for a lot longer than that. Therefore, some changes y'all might not care for, others, you'll love.

Just hang in there. Everything will work itself out.

It's difficult finding time between the MSFT acquisition, company wide audit, and EQEMU, so I'm trying to work as much as I can.

He was referring to the Guildmaster, not Gamemaster. The discussion was about the troubles we're having getting people into Exodus.

Yeah, good to see. A little concerning that his projection for this was only 2 months though.
