Lost GMs

this can all be resolved by making me a memeber of the staff team...i promise i will toally confuse the players and never give a serious answer or any solution of value...wait, i already do all that...its a game, dont take it too serious! just have fun! its a great game devs....just give us something to do....factions and pathfinding...i can wait, just do it right! i need more things to spend prestige on!

I've written 6 petitions in the little over 2 years I've been here. 4 are closed, 1 is New and 1 is Acknowledged, Under Investigation.

The New one is about a siege glitch that allowed a Crow to attack with catapults from over 200 squares away. I'm hoping that was fixed, unless the devs favor Crows, and i'm updating it to ask Luna to close it. I'm sure she'll close it down by Monday at the latest.

The Acknowledged, Under Investigation one I will probably keep open for good because that is the one that affects me the most, the lag that I sometimes get.

I can't complain, because they are constantly updating the game. True, most we don't know about, but an update is still an update.

Now, how about bringing out live factions, more mysteries, 6 month story arcs, global npc migration and leave BL till 2014...

I agree with the petition problems.  I've seen several that say 'unassigned' after months or over a year and I just give up and assume that it will never get taken care of.  In fact I remember some players having sov problems that the 'fix' was them exodusing their city.  Sad part is after months of rebuilding they still fixed the problem faster than the devs.  Lets face it thats not a quality product.  

My 2 cents, which is about what it's worth: The GM's are working behind the scenes to get their update out before the end of the year. They are probably cursing the fact that they announced "sometime in 2013" as a deadline by now...lol. That DOES make me laugh. Anyway, they don't have time to "chat" so that's why you haven't seen them.

As for the petition system, it seems to me the issues have been addressed in a direct manner. By that I mean they have "fixed" the issues that affect game play and they have done so for those players that it has affected. Other players, on the peripheral (sitters of abandoned accounts, spectators) have no reason to file a petition and so shouldn't. The community liason has stated numerous times that problems should be sent through channels to get addressed. This doesn't seem very mysterious to me. If you have a problem that AFFECTS YOUR GAME PLAY, file a petition. If it is not addressed update the petition. Sounds simple. Saying "ask this other guy" clearly shows that it is not affecting you directly.

I don't want to piss you guys off (the other players who have posted here) but I just had to say something. From my point of view, this game is being operated quite well considering the way it is set up (free). There are issues that I'd like to see fixed, or rather changed but that's just my preference. I even have a couple of petitions pending that "could" be addressed but they don't affect game play (a wall shows the wrong level, for example).

I really hope you can get past this. Jane, if you truly hate this game, you should quit. But don't quit. You're a great player and many more important players than I would miss you. I don't want you to quit. I only say that cuz it's a game fer crap's sake. There are so many better things you could be doing with that time than hating. But if you like playing this game and you want to stick around you should just let this go because it's not going to change.

Maybe we should figure out a way to start another war. That last one was great. It would be a great distraction from all this frustrating fluff, don't ya think?
