That boy has worked extremely hard to get people involved. One big problem with our lovely NA server is that we North Americans are pretty self centered. Yep, it's all about us because, heck, we gots da money and da power right? How many times have you been harvesting or "testing something" and had somebody on Region requesting someone to help them fight and completely ignored it? Nobody in NA (virtually) feels like they should interact with anyone who isn't in their guild, unless they have something they need or the person directly asks them a question. The point of an MMO isn't scaring off all the new or potential players by telling them how much the game sucks and it's going to die, etc. etc. The point is to INTERACT. I do know that Tetra, Raynes and Lyrah do interact, that is likely the only reason some of them are still here. We need to get organized, let Nevrax keep doing what they have been doing the past couple weeks (i.e. actually beginning to address major bugs and players issues) and actually DO SOMETHING TOGETHER. Screw the KAMI vs. KARAVAN BS FOR NOW. If all our races work together, we can start laying some major beatings on things like Aen and the cloppers on clopper hill. Hell, we could even have some RP events! One of my guildies Ambika has even joined and RP acting troupe. Things are happening, you just have to take part, or at least engage yourself in making your own mini events.
One of the things I like doing sometimes is hanging around the Pyr teleporter and assisting new players... doing that will go much further to helping the game than saying the world is going to end. Being an Izam Little doesn't help when you were just conked on the head with a bit of bark you know. I have even managed to meet some trial account members at the tele who are now subcribers and loyal Hotdoggers. The MORE people we can encourage to join the more fun will be had by all, and the more Nevrax will be able to financially support their staff. Who knows Tetra, maybe the guy/gal who was in charge of ranged is taking a vacation until there is enough money from our few piddling subsriptions to pay their salary.
Why whine about the whiners? You can only go so long before it is rediculous. Do you think ANYONE on these boards have managed to avoid reading the rants? Not likely. Why do fanboys/gals read threads like this? Well, it reflects on the community. How many people read this thread, how many posted to it? Really we should applaud or UK pals for coming over to our forums and chipping in their two pence, interacting is what this whole thing is about.

I tired to to do stuff. I gave up becuase getting people interested was worse that pulling teeth. So don't tell me that I haven't made attempts.
